K LAMA TH REPLBIJCAN E. J. MURRAY, Editor LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INTERIOR OREGON. TWO DOLLARS PER YEAR IN ADVANCE The Republican takes this opportunity of thanking Miss Campbell, Miss Sarg- «*nt, their friend.* and the friend* of this paper for the work doue in th*- contest just close*! and which has placed the Republican in the sition of claiming the largest l*»na fide circulation of any (taper in Southern Oregon. The only regret we have is that we are unable to send both contestants, for they *1. serve the iionor. But D* teat has its victories no les* renowned than >n*ws*. if we may I k - permitted to transform tiiat axiom to suit the occasion, ami Miss Sargent may claim * licietit gratifica tion from the icti.-ii kab’.e run she made to cotnp* n*ate her for the b *s ot the trip. Both candidate* lal*»red xealomdv, and we I io | h * that Miss Campl*ell will take as iiiueh eajovment out of the honor as it gives us in living the agency through which it came, and her triends, through w hose labors «lie was successful. We received so many inquries as to why we refused to make public the vote after last Thursday that we believe that many of our readers who have not had the opportunity of asking us personally the same question would, nevertheless, like to have It answered. When we de cided on this contest we did so for the purpose of J»'* ci ng the Republican in every home in the county if possible. That we have been successful in prac tically attaining our aim we are confi dent. Therefore, realizing that the xealoiuneas of the friends of the contes tants who might compete for the honor might, at the last moment, lead them to back their candidate with money in stead of popularity, we decided to with hold the vote lor the three days preced ing the close, so that the candidate that won would win on her merits and not ou the money of her friends. Our judg ment was tight, llad we adopted the usual method of announcing the vote up to within an hour or so of the close we would, |>erhaj*s. have l>een s >me better off financially, but the winner would not have taken the keen pleasure that must now be liei's in realizing that the honor came through the votes of her army of friends and not through the bundled up dollars of the few that might want to win just for victory’s sake. The same is true of the con- teslant who liet. Iler vote indicate* her friends are legion, and in the years to come both candidates may look back on this event in their life with much fatisfr. tion and pleasure. w ere ap|>oiiited as a committ«** t * make formal demand on the Klamath Develop- ment Company for the return of the contracts and trnst deeds and they are to report at a meeting to be held in this city >aturday night at 'o’clock.

Cattle haved. ne splendidly this winter, and with the raise in l>eef it prove*! a good proposition to feed an extra six months. Klamath Falls must lie well supplied witli |>eop!e from the Fort, as there were several w.-nt down .'aturdav ami Nun- W agner for Recorder Wni. Wagner has announce 1 his can- didacy for the office of City Recorder, and since he ha* entered tlie field has gathered around him sufficient support to assure hie election. Mr. Wagner is a young man who is well fitted to fill the requirements of the position. He states that he will devote enough of his time to the office to assure an efficient a 1- minietration. This is a praiseworthy step, for the growth of the city and the increasing demands on the Recorder demand that a man who will devote his time to his work should be elected- During his residence in Klamath Falls, Mr. Wagner has proven himself to be a young man oi integrity, who will do just as he agrees, and this of itself justifies his friends in their support of his can didacy. The R‘*publican unreservedly gives him its support and urges every one of its readers to rally under the banner of Mr. Wagner and make his majority doubly large.

We were greatly amused at the items in the Express last week under the head of “Fort Jewels.” In the first place it was surprising to see that we had any one in our midst that was of such a fic titious nature as to think of so much fiction at one time. Then to have in quiries coming from all over the county as to the welfare of opreitizens is laugh able. It is a mystery wliv anvlxxly would want to inflict sarca«m through ' the columns of a paper that is supposed to accept only what they presume to Irti fact*. <'<>ntlnu«*4 (ioni tirsi |*age. i>t>ened bv the representatives of tlie candidates, it will thus l*e seen that with each contestant holding back sev eral him.lied votes and with a large number that were* east at this <>tfice alter Thursday morning, of which no count was made until the (Mill* closed, it wa* absolutely impossible for any one to ascertain oi approximate the number of vote* that would I k * necea- sarv (or the successful contestant. The original count awarded the prise to Mi** Campliell by a majority of 22. There were several votes in doubt, how ever, and a tec.unit of the entire vote wa* made nece«*aiy.
