For months we have been urging its growing importance. Judging by the i i .. .... ucai iniurmanon available ai daily paper is the finest asset', a town can have. Its pro-1 vince is not merely to boost and palaver and enthuse and compliment Its management should be capable of think ing straight and speaking plain, and if occasional com ment seems a bit independent the situation may be there to warrant it If any service of any kind anywhere can compare in downright value with the cov erage given by a good local paper we have yet to see it It is called upon to oblige first this person and then that, to soft-pedal this story and to lambast that concern. to meet all the varying moods and dispositions with good nature and to accept every kind of treatment with a smile. No wonder at times! we take the bit in our teeth and decide differently. The days of hesitation and equiv ocation have passed as re gards the News. We stand four-square to all the winds that blow. As a successful newspaper we have "arrived." BOO PULLING TOGETHER It looks as though our busi ness men are really in earnest to get somewhere with local development. They are pull ing together in fine shape, cooperating whole-heartedly, and burying old animosities in the determination to ac complish something worth while. This sort of thing will make of Klamath a totally different city. - And in view of all that faces us in new railroads, new industries, and new prosperity, it comes not a minute too soon. Getting our lines well-laid and thoroughly coordinated ! this winter will make for aiPi"K into the future with an quick get-away when the enthusiasm that is brimming spring rush comes. Careful j over, when all the time one preparation is half the battle, never really knows, and the The basic success of any answer is never exactly cer municipal achievement is the j tain. It is possible we are team-work we are growing i dreaming too much of mater into, and the new spirit ofjial values. An occasional commaraderie that k e e p s. shock may wake us up to cer quick step with the proces- Uainties and realities, and sion, with no single break in bring us individually to closer the ranks. 'communion with the church. The 54 Southern Pacific fa milies already here will be very largely added to when things get properly organized. Eugene has 556 employees, and the contribution of the railroad to the population of that city is figured at over two thSusSrid. THE MAYOR Purely as a matter of record, it may be remarked how cordially Mayor Goddard and the News have managed without each other. We hap pened not to agree at the start-off and we have each maintained that eround mrough the year. But if we said nothing for him in recent months, we said nothing against him. And since Dec ember means Christmas we I can afford now to end the nonsense and , rr : nKUIIl with a clean slate, We write that the more willingly because the Mayor of a town is in every sense its official representative. If he is good enough to elect, he should be good enough to accept as chairman of the board. We are ncd so sure but Klamath has lost prestige by belittling the office of Mayor and its incumbent, and we are very positive something can be gained by changing this. hat the Governor is to a state the Mayor is to a city, and inasmuch as this carries a direct compliment to Mr. Goddard, the satisfaction goes with it of "better late than never." IN DEFENSE A gentleman reminded us yesterday that Portland as a city has no hand whatever in the railroad division fight, which has a very direct bear ing on many families locally. It appears to be a squabble within the Brotherhood, 'of railroad men against railroad men, of engineers against eng ineers, with very little on the surface to show what it is all about It typifies the very strata of human nature, con tinually on the firing line over something or other. Afld.yet if one newspaper happens to look cross-eyed at another newspaper, some people ob ject But what we are aiming at is to clear Portland of blame. For some reason all Oregon seems very ready to accuse Portland of everything in the line of selfishness. Nobody knows exactly why and no body can show any reasonable reason. , The very metropolis it has grown into makes it a larger target to fire at and it is in the disposition of us to want to score a bulls-eye. And so, without any partic ular justification we get the habit of blaming Portland, when the Rose City may have no more to do with the prob lem than Capetown in South Africa. 000 THE PASSING When someone passes out quickly, and with much in life to live for, it makes us stop for a minute to readjust one's compass and get one's true bearings. As a community we are living so much in the atmosphere of expectancy, building hopes on what next spring may develop, and dip- I If that be done the lesson of it all will not be entirely lost, and the more it is done the better it will be for the con siderations, each to the other, and to all we come in contact. 000 The Irrigable acreage In Klam ath county totals 270.000, of which 140,000 1 sandy loam and the balance peat. Irrigated lands un der cultivation total 100,000 acres. VERY ESSENTIAL Elections of one sort and j another have been so numer-1 , . . .

It is entirely out of the question to attempt another stretch without them, and as a mat ter of self-protection we must get busy- and vote the neces - sary lunua. inc mwic t iously we do this the easier it will be for the new admin istration, and the better start we can make for 1927 the greater the assurance of a suc cessful year. 000 KLAMATH Population 11.S00.

Trial plots of different strains of Netted Gem po tatoes are being tested here for a period of three to five consecu tive years.
