The ««lt-sMy is growing rapidly and it It highly nee« soeary that the canvas <A the town should be completer! b, March 6th next. There will then remain but 25 dass, including Sundays, to ean- v M m the outside precincts. Klamath Falls has dene remarkably well; she has dons herself proud i but there still remain a ntimlwr <>t our citisent who have as yet been amble to inake their pledge«. It is the t-Arneat desire of the Solic iting Committee that all do so before the date above mentionfid. For thia reason—The Falls City cannot raise thia subsidy klone. Hhe mrnl call npon her sister precincts for help. Bnt it is highly iiflpdrt- ant that betöre asking such assi-tan- e, she strain every nerve, eaert every energy, ami do nil within her power to «ubecribe just as large a por tion of this aitleidy a- «heran. Then she can. in good faith, say to bcF friends, we have done what we can. Join ami help us, for the g«M»i nt nil. We hope all who have not vet nis le snbscriptions will consider th:« carefully a«i«l cendkiiy six! either suliscnl« at once or take a stand for the opposite, ami thus not de'ay tbe work of the Committee. This is a mat‘*r of great moment. We have now, almost within our grfi«p the opportunity that sothe (ft ~dt Htisens bkvfi been waiting a quarter of a century U> see; one that will cause to kCcfttfi’, oh every band, such transformations as are hardly conceivable at this time. Let us Rot throw it away, but rather embraM it. Let us go hand in hand ».tW progress and development, and by means of our assistance, so generoavly ace«>r«led, make Klamath County throngh the agencies of transportation and irrigation the greatest inland empire of tbe Facific G«at. The success of thil enterprise is vital tn Klamath Falls. Its su’ccsk is her success. Its failure is her disaster. PhouM we succeed tn raising this subsidy the future of our city and ctfanty is Assured; since that se cures transportation; and transportation coupled with irrigation leave* not * shadow of a doubt. People with money to invest, absolutely will not endure the hfi’d- ships incident to staging ami before we can hope to secure such as citiaens we must provide better and more adequate mean* for them to get in and out. The trnth of this statement can be aacertained front any daily ar« rtFal from i’ekegama. Your assistance is a*ked in this project, not as a matter of charity, but rather as a cold busineea proposition, since each one who pronriao«. to contributfi will uever be called upon to do so unless be receive* the benefits, via: a standard gauge railway fully equipped with the n* •»*. modern rolling stock. It is a self evident fact that th* osritM M *cdir • pie, of one block ol lots in Klamath Falla could well afford, as a cold bus- mess proposition, to give one half the block, since the remaining r»"d half block, will be worth several times what the show ol it fa without transportation. Friend* it is now time to act. The alloted time i* half past. Tbe opportunity ie gliding away. The attitude we show during th* rtvH thirty day* will demonstrate the difference between aoceeas and faiinr*. Let us make Ft success. unce more we invite all who have not assisted tn «ffbs*rrt»fi at on*-«. Place your subscriptions with any member of the Coxtimittefi, and thereby pat Klamath bounty in the front rank where she properly belong*. In conclusion, let us tell tbe world that we are jfofhg to have a rail road, and that we will live in the back wools no longer.

He think« that it would l>e the best thing for the town that ever happened, as the people would then build ol brick in place of putting up temporary wooden shacks. In an Interview with a Republican re pre- rvntative he said: “The Commissioners Board are nnnn- inious in favor of using brick for the construction of the new county High School building. I atu positive that g<xxi brick can be made here and if we ran get the right man, who understands bis business. I know where there is nF-nty of inofief to put in the plant. The main difficulty, how'evir is getting a first class man.
