Th« ganeral
opinion is that Dr G if. Msrryman

admittedly the strongest man iwfore

Doctor Parser is recognixed aa a leader
in hi» profession and one of the best
surgeons M the Coast. During his res
iderice in thia city he has built up a
large practice, and particularly among
hit present and former patient, will th.
n«w» of hi. retirement be received with
regret. Iuka many m.n who reach a

It ia his intention to go to Alaska,
where he will engage in prospecting
for some time, after which he will
again return to the practice of medi

will acquire the services of a akilled

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

wa. moat anxiou. to make a recvinmen

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

thia fact would have considerable in

However. Mr. Henny atate«i that if

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.

EIGHT MILES
FROM LAKE
’
Railroad will Reach Dorris
by April 20, says En
gineer Hoey
II. P. Hoey, chief engineer ot Hie Cal-
| ilornia Northeastern, arrived in the city
[ Monday accompained by Henry Croa-
by, who has charge ol the establish-
' ment of watering places along the rail-
' rood line.
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.
