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

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.

not lire with his wire for a long
time. She sued him for a divorce
but It waa not granted. I rail

he does not drink at all. Whon
I try and maka dates with him,

I know his wife real good and I
see her once In a while, but she
does not love her husband. Hit

a few girls I know that love him.
He Is very good looking and also

I'll not go to Mrs, Ho-aricl-Ho's
