MR. WINNARO JOINS
NEWS
. The . Klamath News is
pleased to state that Mr.
Howard Winnard, well
known in the northwest as
a newspaper man of ability,
has joined the News staff,
and will hereafter be its
editor.
Bert Holloway, who has
faithfully "handled the po
sition for some time, has re
signed to go to Boston,
where he will work on the
eastern newspapers, and
Mr. Winnard takes the helm
to guide the News in the fu
ture1. He is a versatile
writer, a thorough thinker
and his knowledge of lum
bering affairs makes him
especially fit for the new
position he has consented to
fill.
It is 'his hope to re-establish
the Lumberlogue at a
near fntnre -d a t e,' "r and
through that section week
ly will tell the people of
Klamath basin the doings
of, the camps, the poetic
leanings of the lumber boys,
and he will not overlook the
wit and humor of the log
ger, who, by the way, is an
essential factor in Klamath
basins prosperity.
Another thing that Mr.
Winnard is thoroughly fa
miliar with is the business
end of the lumbering busi
ness. When a concern of
fers a bond issue to the pub
lic he will be able to dissect
the resources put behind
such an issue, and the many
'letters which comes to the
News from investors asking
for information relative to
the securities ' will be an
swered fearlessly and truth
fully. The lumber business is
no different from other in
dustries. Where there are
successes there are always
those who seek to float
bond issues and stock en
terprises on the 'strength of
the argument that success
has met with other's endeav
ors. The newspapers of
Klamath Falls constantly
are asked pointed questions
as to these offerings. The
good and sound deserve the
commendation of the invest
ing public, but the spurious
and weak ones are not en
titled to consideration.
., The concerns that own
large bodies of standing
. timber, together with good
plants for operation, are en
titled, to the fullest confi
dence of the investing pub
lic, but the concern that
dees not measure up to
those ' requirements must
stand on its own record.
The News has no dispo
sition to punish anyone, nor
has it any axe concealed.
but it does serve notice that
the concern which is merely
located in Klamath basin to
grind out what money it can
and then sell out through
-papers
bond issues to an unsuspect
ing public . will have no
recommendation from this
newspaper.
Mr. Winnard is familiar
with the entire detail of financing-
of the different
concerns. It will be his duty
and his obligation to report
fairly and honorably on the
facts.
CRATER LAKE
Yesterday one of Klam
ath's chief assets entered
another season of produc
tivity. It is a financial as
set, and an aesthetic or
spiritual asset It is a
health asset: and it is the
envy of the Pacific coast.
It is Crater lake.
A prophet, is without
honor in his own. country;
and we of Klamath county
do not, perhaps, appreciate
this scenic wonder, this sap
phire set in the ruin of the
mighty Mount Mazama as
do the thousands of tourists
who annually flock to see it.
But even residents of
Klamath, with the keenest
edge of their delight dulled
by that destroyer of de
lights, proximity, flock to
the lake by hundreds every
week-end.
The lake never loses its
spell. We go, having gone
before, thinking little of
going again. We fall under
the spell of the lake. Busi
ness cares, worries, disap
pear under he magic of its
beauty, and the thought of
the might of the forces
which, unknown ages ago,
blasted out this mighty
crater in the Cascades,
later, filled it with a mar
velous lake, and painted its
scarred cliffs with beauti
ful colors.
The financial value of the
proximity of the lake to
Klamath Falls is difficult to
estimate; 'but certainly the
thousands of tourists who
see it annually leave their
toll of dollars and cents
with merchants of Klamath
Falls.
ASTORIA'S LAWYERS
We notice the Astoria
Budget has raised an ob
jection to a $15,000 law
yer's fee for cleaning up
the wreck of the hotel bond
issue in that city. Our
worthy contemporary doubts
the size of the fee the at
torneys present, and wants
a re-hearing, although te
court has allowed tire fee.
The Budget should be
ashamed of itself to ques
tion the legal fraternity of
Astoria. Has not the law
yer who acted as attorney
in foreclosing the bonds a
right to his hire? It is not
just as much work to fore
close a hotel bond issue as
it is to foreclose a bond is
sue on a transcontinental
railroad?
Editor Chesman of the
Budget is pulling down the
legal profession when he
questions a fee which has
been allowed by the court.
Surely the long days and
nights in Astoria's fog,
when lawyers have waited
patiently for this morsel to
be handed out should be
recompensed in a fair man
ner. For it is worth a . lot
to live in Astoria and the
lawyers know that as well
as other citizens.

from doubt and haunting fear.
She was tired and his embrace
was a restful ha'ven, soothing her
with a sense of peace and secur
ity. They did not count the mo
ments as they passed, the mo
ments of bliss, but one came at
last that broke the spell for Vir
ginia. It brought the recokoning
of this sweet surrender crashing
through the forgetfulness Na
thaniel had lulled Into ber mind.
She was one of his arms In one
lightning-quick movement. "Oh,
Nlel," she cried frantically
"you're making me forget."
Nathanial gasped. "Virginia
"Don't touch me. please," she
begged tearfully. "You don't un
derstand." Nathaniel stood back from
her, worried and not a little
frightened. Had ber troubles
affected her mind? "Sit down,!
please," he said with gentle com
mand. "I promise not to touch
you. Shall I get you a glass of
water?"
The commonplace question
seemed to restore. Virginia to a
degree of calmness that permit
ted her to appreviate the strange
ness of her outburst.
"Oh, Niel," she sobbed, sinking
suddenly Into her chair. "I love
yon with all my heart but you
mustn't talk to me about mar
riage." He knelt beside hi'r in stricken
silence. He was afraid to speak
to her lest he arouse her to fur
ther irresponsible declarations.
Presently she lifted her head
from her arms and put a. hand
on his. "Your hand's like Ice,"
she exclaimed In surprise.
"Will you talk to me?" he sold,
Ignoring the t condition of his
hands.
"If you will promise not to
make lore to me es you did."

lightnlng-qulck movement. "Oh,
about lore, I'm afraid," Nathaniel
put In passionately.
Virginia shrank back from
him aa it he' had struck her.
"If you feel like that . . ."
she cried, and leaped to her feet.
Nathaniel caugnt ber. "Virginia,"
he said with distant contfadltlon;
"we're perilously near our first
quarrel. I'd apologize a thou
sand times before I'd have that
happen. Please, dear, let's kiss
and make up."
Virginia could not resist him.
but even as their lips' met, her
mind registered a conviction that
this was not to be the end of
their hot words. Nathaniel's
doubt of her love would grow
stronger as time went on and she
continued to turn a deaf ear to
his pleas. Doubting her, he would
lose faHh, and if at last he really
believed that she did not love
him would be not turn away from
her? Virginia clung to him
fiercely - as this thought ' went
through her mind, and for that
moment at least Nathaniel did
not question the depth of her
lore. He was a little surprised
by the force of her passion but
not at all loath to accept It.
"Don't ever say such things
again." she entreated him. "Prom
Ise. you won't doubt me, no mat
ter what I do. Promise, Nlel)
PromUo you'll believe In pie un
til I tell you I don't love you any
more!"
' Nathaniel laughed happily. He
had not Virginia's reasons for
knowing the test his faith would
be put to and her Insistence
seemed a 'trifle dramatic, but he
liked to have her this way, pal
pitating and flushed 'With emo
tion, with lova for him.
"You darling!!" he cried. "I'll
promise anything you like If
you'll promise to give me a fair
break." ...
Virginia' hesitated. "I'll be

was a change from her fervor of
a uionien bufore. She knew that
promises made on Ignorance Airs
not binding, and Nathaniel must
remain In Ignorance until their
fate was settled. Natlisnlel no
ticed, the change but ha was In
telligent enough to know that the
rapture ol a moment gone can
not be recaptured at will. Hut
lhre would he other moments!
The dearneas of Virginia, her
(sweet, flue mind and loveliness
asnured him of that.
"Aud now we will have dinner
toselher," he remarked Joyously,
"t.osh, Virginia, I'm glad to have
you to niyiwlf. I'd never have
aeen much of you It you'd re
mained with the Deans. A couple
of high-hat bums, those two.
There Isn't enough soul between
them for worm. Where'll wo

"Lei's stay down here In the

"All right. I'll get this pslnt
off my hands and then we'll
scout around. Just e moment."
While he ' was gone Virginia
carried the lea tray to the
kitchenette and washed the cups
and caucera. She had to be

Nathaniel hurried and rejoined
her soon. He looked tremen

gray tweeds, but Virginia laugh
ed at the way ha had brushed his
hslr. Just like a small boy who
thought he'd be late for the cir

he said, noticing that Virginia
had no wrap. "Shall we taxi up
