Strahorn starting on the first lap of his trip around the world. Fine,' Mr. Strahorn. Presumably you have concluded your railroad deal; presumably you have cashed in on the Strahorn railroad; pre sumably you have settled with the big railroads, received your money and you are at peace "with the world. May you have a fine trip, Mr. Strahorn. May you visit all the crowned heads in Eurtjpe see the sights tourists see, visit Monte Carlo, bask in the smile of potentates, and realize your great dream of happiness in your world wide trip. ! But, Mr. Strahorn, do you remember oh. do you remember when you wooed and wed the city of Klamath Falls? When you as a young, vigorous man, clasped this municipality to your heart and told her she was your partner in railroad building For that loving clasp this c'ty paid into your strong right hand $300,000, nnd gave you valuable real estate. Yes, Mr. Strahorn, we were your partner then but what about now? Where do you leave the love of your youth while you seek pleasure in Europe? Are you entirely happy by leaving this city hitched up to a bond issue of $300,000 with much of its choice real estate in the possession of yourself or your assigns? Do you think that is fair, Mr. Strahorn? ... The people here know it is not fair, and they swear that as surely as there is a God in heaven and there is one Robert Strahorn will never be divorced from Klamath Falls com j letely until he has seen that this city has been reimbursed the full amount of the money given to him to build a railroad, and that "proper ac counting has been made of the real estate turned over to him. That is how Klamath Falls feels today toward the man who wooed her in a time of her isolation and through kiincy words caused hettu mortgage every home in the city.
