With the display booths scarcely emptied Of (lie (Inn produce which no effectively advortli-cd Klamath romity during the recent three-day fair ;md pmdur: t-how, the fair hoard met yesterday with .. .-.uniUcr cf lh'ir able a.-.rtim.. 10 li -ii'H) the anpuiftn whlrh is bcins carried on to Insure a bettor county ex position In 1927. The campaign consists of (totting A petition before cpproxim.ivly Sou registered vnti'TH of Kt:im:uli itHiniy, which, when fully ip will i:o on the November ballot to ret a .75 mill tax levy to be devoted to (sir promotion. When the meeting was called yes terday to get the petition circulators VKoilier In the county agent' of lice, nbout 40.1 additional ign.-uuros wore needed, and the time grows short. The petitions were due In the county" clerk's office yesterday, but as he will be busy checking until Wednesday evening, the clerk granted the fair board an extension of time to that date, when he will commence checking the remainder of the new signatures. Several of the 16 petitions which are going the rounds, will be tak?n to the mills today and Wednesday, where the mill workers are expected lb respond to the appeal for names. The; . petitions have largely been signed by farmers of the conuty. due to their assembling at the fair lut week. Virtually every farmer approached, signed the paper readily. E. M. Hammond, president of the board, said. The additional revenue for fair purposes, expected to aggregate some f 20,000 If passed In November, will permit the men who have been de voting their time and energy to making success of the Klamath county fairs, to advertise the coun ty on a much larger scale. In the past they have been greatly handi capped by lack of funds for the work but by fighting in the face of all odds, have established the county fair aa an Institution of real prom inence In the southern Oregon basin. Given the aid. there Is no limit to the good which can be accomplished for the county through bigger fairs. It is declared.

Modrell, city, Is enthused over the fine yields and excellent re turns1 which the farmers of that section are realizing on their fields of Montana Whfte beans. "From what I can learn here, this county is admirably suited to the growing of this crop." Modrell "declared, "and nrtxi sp ni: I'm koih t: t k? a til r on ih;.s variety f.f !e.n h?r-: " There are about l,kO."00 a -rci planted ' to the Lean aronn-i Twir. Falls, where farmers hove ben doing well, Modrell said, for five or six years. The yield there averages . 35 or 40 bushels to the acre, and on the rich soil of Klamath county It should be equally as good, he de clared, pointing out that the crop matures in 90 days, thus reducing frost hazard to a m'nli::ura.

Wind Whips Tule And Smoke Flys Over Vast Area A change In the wind, aided by lowered humidity, whipped up the tule fire which has been burning cn lower Klamath lake for the past two months, and carried a vast cloud of smoke and ashes Into this city Sunday. While the situation was not nearly so bad as that a few weeks ago when the cloud from the tule burn virtually obscured the sun here, the smoke curtained the upper valley throughout the day. The glow of the tule blaze was plainly discemable from the high way near here, and from various parts of the city. Sunday night. State Traffic Officer Foster, re turning from the Willamette valley Sunday, stated that from the Greeu Sprglns point on the Klamath Falls Ash'and highway, great clouds of smoke could be seen rolling skyward from the burn. Drivers along the way advanced the theory that the smoke was coming from fired wheat fields, he stated. Members of the Klamath Forest Protective association declare that te tule fire will burn until snow flies at least, as it can be stopped only hy lifting the d;ke rates and reporting lower Klama'h lake. Sime state 'hat the tu! roots, f've and six feet deep, will smoulder even under a blanket of snow breaking out again the following summer. It Is believed that the burn cov-j ers nearly 10.000 acres now, al though this entire area la not active. The fire is about 18 miles south of Klamath Falls and burns unnoticed here except when a , change of wind rePs e'ouds of the " h md m-Ve 'n h's d'rec-lon ..... rq rjn On Most Serious Assault Charg.?
