night voted to increase the salary of
John Uhrllng, street commissioner.
As a result, after January 1, he will
receive $200 each, month Instead of
the $150 he now Is allowed.
"I think we should raise them

these were approved at last night',

APPOINTEE NOT NAMED
1926 County Budget Calls
for $1000 for Asst
- Deputy Attorney
William A. Wles, well known
local attorney and deputy under Dbu ,
trict Attorney E. L. Elliott, formal
ly submitted hla resignation o .El
liott one week a-go last Saturday,
it became known yesterday. -
Wieat, however, la not to go. 8ince
Elliott haa promised to furnish an
additional man, so that some of the
routine may be lifted from Wleat'e
shoulders, the deputy will remain io
the harness. ,
Just why Elliott neglected to
make public Wleat'e resignation la
not known. t ( .
Wieat. in his formal state ment,
made It plain hat he believed be -could
not, serve the state and, at the
same time do justice to his private
business. It is a known fact that
the deputy ha spent many hours
working for the people, when hla
own cases were neglected.
- "My resignation, now. Trill not be
effective," Wlest said last night.
"Mr. Elliott and I have fixed It up.
and I am sure there will be no dif
ficulties In the future." '
Mr. Wiest is well known in Klam
ath Fall, as a barrister, and many
persons last night expressed them
selves as believing it a Era re, loss
should he go. . ; ;
Should his resignation nave been
accepted by Elliott, who has been
extremely reticent regarding the .
cose, it waa understood that W. P.
Myers would have been suggested as
hi. successor.
' ' No Personal Feeling;. .
"There 1s no personal feeling be
tween Mr. Elliott end me," Wlest
said last night . "I simply felt that
I could not spend 15 hours a day In
the manner that I had been spend
ing bem."
Mr. Wlest, it Is known, haa spent '
many hours with the Klamath coun
ty grand jury recently. .
The new attache haa not been
named.
It was pointed out laat night that
the county court, when It arranged
its recent budget for 1926, allowed
$1000 for an additional deputy dis
trict attorney.
Persons pretending to be "In tht
know," said that. In all probability,
some of the money for the assistant
would come out of the prohibition
fund.
