Klamath Falls. Ore., Thursday, March 9, 1905. |; nsnza has discovered good brick elav. Our sister town Is liable to Soon be able to supply us with building material. Building and improvements still continue *n Klamath Falla. only drawback seems to be the lack of building material. The Rase ball will soon lie in full swing in Klamath Falls. A number of the bovs were out Sunday and indulged In their first game this season of the national sport. The County Commissioners Court adjourned without making any provisi "is for an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair. Klamath County will nut De : i ., a . i at the big Fair if something is not done soon. The Klamath Falls Light & Water Works Company will spend about •25.000 in building a new plant and In new machinery this summer.

The census report for the School District No. 1, show that there are now 318 pers ins. between the ages of four and 20 years, in the district. Of these 188 are males and 150 are females. This Is an increase of 55 over last year or nearly 21 per cent. It is stated that this number will be greatly augmented before the first of June. LAKE COUNTY WAKING UP. Lake County is evidently in a bad way, but if there is anything in the power of the Press, the people have not long to remain inactive. The papers over there are trying to outdo each other in instilling a little energy Into their readers. Lakeview is about to organize a Promotion Club and the newspapers are devoting columns to giving advice as to necessary iinprov- mants to be undertaken. The vast number of these improvements would d.«:outage the most enthusiastic, but the Club will find that they can ac complish more by doing one thing at a time. The Examiner thus advertises tiie undesireable features of the county: “We are doing practically nothing for the general welfare, in the way of I permanent, public improvement. Many citizens would not have our court house as a barn. There is not a mile of permanent, good road in the county. Our children are going abroad for educational advantages that ought to be ■'applied at home.” CITY FIRE DEPARTHENT Klamath Falls has a good Fire Department. The members want to make it BETTER and eventually the BEST of any town its size in the state. Do you want better fire protection, and if so. are you willing to help the b vs? The second annual ball of the Klamath Falls Fire Department will be given on Friday evening, March 31. 1905. This ball is given for the pur pose of raising money to buy uniforms and other equipment for the Depart ment. Since the organization of the present Fire Department, January 28, 1901, it has been practically self supporting and has each year added to its equipment, until now it has two good hose carts with 1000 feet of hose, a hoof- id ladder wagon with one extension and two single ladders, and poles, hooks, axes, etc. It is also equipped with twelve rubber coats and several lantern» for the use of its members. The Fire Department is composed of over 40 members, including most of the younger business men of the town, who all take an active inter est in Hi- vurk. II. L. Boggs, who is one of the charter members, has been the fire .lief since the organization and it is mainly through bls efforts that the ent; Asm au Jg the members has been kept up. The organization is now .nplete with two hose companies and one hook and ladder company, e..h with its own foreman and assistants. These however are under the ■upervision of the Chief. Tickets for the annual ball have been placed at tl.00. and every citi zen In the town will be expected to buy at least one and thus help out the good work. If your house was on fire, you would naturally expect the Fire De partment to come to the rescue, yet you have no right to expect this if you ere unwilling to give at least «1.00 toward furnishing them with equipment wall which to work. The members do not get a cent for their service« but are willing to devote the necessary time for the protection of the town, therefore they should receive the encouragement of every citizen. Do not wait to be called ^pon, but get your dollar ready and buy a tick et whether you attend or not. If you ever do attend a dance, do not mis« this one. SPRING CLEANING ON THE FARM Within the next week or two the first heralds of the migration will be coining to Oregon, in the shape of farmers from nearly every state in the Union. Invitations have been spread broadcast, and every inducement that Oregon can offer has been published far and wide. The horses will surely be brought to the water, but can they be made to drink. Oregonians owe it to themselves and to the state that the first im pression on interested visitors is one of pleasure, satisfaction and admira tion—not of disappointment and disgust. Thousands of farms in Oregon are for sale. Why this is the case is a curious inquiry, but it is so. Now Oregon in herself can be trusted to do her part. The visitors will surely be charmed with the main features of the places they visit. Beautiful scenery, good land, excellent transportation facilities generally, abundant water, healthy-iooking orchards, plenty of schools, towns and trading points in abundance, ail are signs and tokens of a genial climate. They will have in quired about the opportunities and profits on the farm. They will have been told of the earnings of the dairy, the orchard, the flock and the herd. They will be, they must be, fully satisfied that Oregon farming, if Inspired with industry and intelligence, shows rising profits and big opportunity for «owth and expansion. Filled with such ideas, the newcomer will be driven up to the farm, the nearest town may. be in fair condition—certainlv much •j *W0«**^ovcr the plight of a few years back. How will the approach to the house look? Will there he a neat, picket-fenced yard In front, where "I • Wees and carnations have been cared for, and the polyanthus and * Daffodils are just going out of bloom? Will there be a bed of violets under the windows and the wall flowers In their glory? Will the house have re ceived a coat of paint, say within tile last two or three years? The orchard trees near by will be just ready to bloorn. Will the trees be cler.n and uni formly pruned, and the orchard soil fine and free of weeds? As he turns to the barn and outbuildings, will all the planking be in place, with no loose boards banging in the wind? Will there be a sidewalk from house to barn, or will t’; • approach be knee deep in mud? And the fences to the fields— v»iii many gaps be showing? Now if our farming neighbors would take a leaf from the storekeep er’s br ,k and put some work and money into setting forth the appearance : id ad vintages of what they have to «ell, what they expended would come • foil, fold on the sale of the farm. Here wo do not see ourselves as ou.ers see us. if we did, some of us would set to work changing the out- s les of our places very quickly before the buyers come round. This sounds "me y a •, but, depend upon it, the observance of these simple counsel« means many thousand dollars in the pockets of Oregon farmers.-Oregonian.
