State Senator “In voting for public officers naturally some are actuated by personal friend ship and some by private interests; but with the large majority of the voters the question of qualification is the main consideration. The principal business of a state senator is to assist in making of laws. He not only has his own measures to prepare and introduce, but he should be tu a position tu know the effect and legality of the bills intro duced by other members, and to vote fur or against them intell gently. With other things equal, on« who has had a legal education and training has an ad vantage as a legislator. In this senatorial district there are a greit many men supporting the candi- « acy of H. L. Holgate, of Bonanza, and one of the reasons is the belief that the district will fare better if it has an attorney among its legis'ative delegation. Another reason is the wide acquaintance Mr. Holga'e has among the public m»n of the state, which will give him standing and influence in the senate. Many of the leading papers of Oregon, such as the Salem Statesman. . Salem Journal. Corvallis Times, Ben ton County Leader, Gervais Star and others have noticed the candidacy of Mr. Holgate and speak of him in the highest terms. In this district the Crook-County Journal is doing the un usual by strongly supporting him edi torially. Mr. Holgate will receive a large vote in Klamath Falls despite the fact that he lives in the eastern part of the county or perhaps because of that fact. M *st or the candidates for the various offices are from the county seat; and there is a strong feeling in favor *>f a distribution of public offices. When Mr. Holgate was attorney for the U. S. Reclamation Service he vigorously objected to the plan of organizing wat er users associations chiefly on the ground that it meant a heavy and use less expense to the land owners without giving them any real voice in the con struction oi administration of the proj ect; but he was overruled by the Wash ington office. Later he tendered his r«*signition and opened a law office in Klamath Falls For the past year he has been a resident of Bonanza and is cnshierof the bank there. Mr. Holgate was born in Oregon 41 years ago. He has been a member of the Oregon bar norni’ fifteen years and is familiar with with legislation and legislative methods. Promises to Aid Project Supervising Engineer Henny, of the Bupervising Keclamation Service, prolwtjy expressed himself monrclearly tielore the Chamber of Commerce Tuesdai evening, in regartf to hi. attitude toward the Klamath Pro- ject. titan he ha. at any time «luring hie vi«it. He mid that he was very mneli inlereeted in thia (i.ru. ular pmje,■: and wa. moat anxiou. to make a recvinmen ■lation fora large appropriation for next year', work. He .aid that when the l««rd met thi. Summer to determine the work t" lie underiaketi next vear he would probably la* «i*ked by the Chief Engineer, what would l>c the amalleel amount the Klamath Protect could get along with. He promised that hi. rv port would lie that Klamath could not get .long with a «mall amount but would have t have the largest amount poeei hie. He further «fated that he ««anted the »tipport ami co-operation of the Chamtier amt the laud owner, under the project to »ecure ■ larger percentage ■ ■I eignere undet the l'p|«r Project. According to hi» ilitrm-nii the »how mg mail« liy the laml owner» who were aide to »ecun* wnter last year, «a. not »» favorable aa it ought to have been, and thia fact would have considerable in llttence Iwfore the department in deter mining future appropriation». However. Mr. Henny atate«i that if the lamt ownera atilwri!ie<i aufficient land in the Up|*er Project and made a good allowing where the di'ch was al- ieady completed, he felt confident that he ar*Mild he able to secure plenty ot money to rush the work, but even if thia allowing was not made he was de- termine«l to do all in his power to get ax large an appropriation as possible.

Klamath’s Choice In considering tbeir choice for State Senator the voter wants to bear in mind that the man he votes for ia pos sessed good judgement and is conserva tive. In Dr. G. H. Merryman he will find these qualities well exemplified. He is on record and that is the best ev idence one can have. During hia term of office as representative from thie district in the State Legislature, he proved himself to be a safe, conserva tive, honest, economical legislator, and his course was one of consistency from start to finish, it ia a record of which he may feel proud and one that the vot ers of this district ought to have repeat ed This they can have when they re turn Dr. Merryman to the State Sen ate. The Teachers’ Institute at Merrill on next Baturday promises to be a highly successful affair a.« an excellent program has been prepared for the occasion and indications are tliât the attendance will lie exceptionally large. Klamath Falls will be represented by the entire teach ing force of the city, as well as bv a num- lier «>f ex petlAgogues and p«>litical aspi rants. All of the candidates forcountv »«■hool superintendent will be in attend ance. EIGHT MILES FROM LAKE ’ Railroad will Reach Dorris by April 20, says En gineer Hoey II. P.

In speaking of the railroad extension Mr. Hoey said tbat the road will bo ■ completed to Dorris by the 20tb ol this ' month, and that there is no reoaon whatever why it should not lie at th« water front this Fall. He says the work on the “aboo By” ia progressing ! nicely and the grade is already more than half finished. He rays the delav in reaching this city will be in crossing the marsh. The company is not alto gether Mtiafled with this branch of tne work and something will tw done at oqce to expedite the conatruct on of thie part of the toad. Just what i ction wi»l be taken Mr. Hoey did not state but he I said very emphatically that the marsh ' work would be rushed from now on. When asked if it was possible that the road might get here thia year Mr Hoey I replied that be thought it very improba i ble but he felt sure that it would reach the water in the early Fall. He would not express an opinion as to what time tbe rood might lie completed to this city, saying tbat the entire matter hinge*I upon the dike across the marsh. He says tha bridges will causa no delay aa they can be put up in a short time. He did not say what kind of bridges the company proposed using in crossing navigable channels. Mr. Hoey still has bio office at Bray, but will move up the line just aa soon as the regular service is established to a point farther alung. Tlie road is now complete«! to a point a few miles beyond McDoel.and sidetracks are now being put in at both Mt. Hebron and McDoel. When this work is finished it is very probable that a regular train service will at once be inaugurated to McDoel. Tbu time until the road will reach Dorris is so short that the other towns along the line will be the terminal for only a few daya, while Dorris will enjoy that dis tinction until tbe road is completed to the water. The labor situation is very favorable to the early completion of the road and Mr. Hoey states that he finds it unnec essary to advertise for men aa be has all tbe applications he can handle. Mr. Croeby is making his first trip over the route of tbe propoeed road, but lie already has a force at work drilling well« at Mt. Hebron and McDoel. He is very favorably impressed with the country and especially with the Klam ath basin. He says this city has a great future and is as nicely located as any little place that he has seen.
