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.
Montana Beans to

Opinion Modrell
Returned from a visit to bis for

L. A. 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,

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 ,
