"Let There Be Lirfit" Wfcofe CiTy AWs More Light In the mayor's message it is read that har- mony prevails and that the work of the city is proceeding in excellent fashion. 'Tis well. Also, the mayor again calls attention to the need for street lights and the abominable poles on Main street. Very laudable. But the mayor wants the various aerial wires put underground, and he repeats in hi3 message his pet conduit plans for Klamath Falls. If memory serves the public it will be recalled that it was this conduit idea that smothered a feasible plan for adequate light3 at little or no cost to the city. . Still, that con duit dream may be splendid. 'The city does need lights. Lighting has progressed far beyond the stage of 200 years ago, when lanterns were hung at the front doors of the rich. In Klamath Falls it has reached the development which most cities enjoyed a half-century since. Modern street lighting takes into consider ation many things auto traffic, street curves and angles, architecture: ability to reveal di rection signs, cheer. Any illuminating en gineer will explain what proper lighting en tails. But ask in vain to discover if a general conduit system is necessary to modern light ing. o When Carlyle found in a book a statement which displeased him, he drew after it a pair . of donkey ears. Arlifk.T.1 Blazes Klamath Country Is One Eest Set The old year is drawing to a close with the great Klamath country and the rest of the Pa cific coast showing to an advantage over the east and middle west. The sun is shining in Klamath while the eastern sections are suffering from sub-zero temperatures. In order that the suffering in the east may be more acute the coal strike is persisting. 1 It is a poor substitute for warmth that the east finds in various controversies. All of Jewdom is "het-up" over the statements that Christ wa3 a real man, not a myth. While or thodox Hebrews heap hot coals on the head of Rabbi Wise for his rather tardy admission they forget that there is little anthracite for the furnaces. Down in Philadelphia they have fired But ler. He, in turn, fuels the rest of Pennsylvania by tellLg what a hot town is the Quaker city, and burns up the bosses there. In the corn belt there is no shortage of combustibles. They have a bumper crop) but no place to sell it. Cobs will keep the disap pointed farmers from freezing,and it appears that full ears will go into the stoves unless there is relief shortly. , Klamath, right now, is a good bet. - n . , , EPISODE XIX Resolutions and Retraction It In iumiilnir Hoini'whnt ahiml .f it.- - "i Pitfi r in the narrative of mih nilMiintleintnmlmo; u Wlul e((r LM iuli rt'il between the farmera nml tho rerlnmntlm. 1 Uter it will bo mu ciwiiry to return to tho physical ml .1. .

Ho does not lire with his wire for a long time. She sued him for a divorce but It waa not granted. I rail him up often and try and make dates but he refuses me every time. Ho works In a saloon but he does not drink at all. Whon I try and maka dates with him, he tells me he's .got a wife and does not want to go with no girls. I know his wife real good and I see her once In a while, but she does not love her husband. Hit mother was all the fault of him leaving his wife. Thnrt are qullo a few girls I know that love him.

Mrs. Thomp son, their husbands go off and leave them at night. Tliey go to the show, but they never take tho girls with them. One of tho boys said he was not going to llto show. Bo his wlfo laid: "Alright, I'll not go to Mrs, Ho-aricl-Ho's house and I'll stay here and you can help tako care of the child ren." So he went upstairs and got his coat and hat and went to town. Mrs. 8o-nnd-So's husband asked her If ho could go to town In a pettish way. She said that aho wasn't going t say a ford I about him going to town.
