AUGUST 26. 1909 XX ILL HOLD I \lll IF— ♦♦♦«♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ The first systematic move toward organizing for the holding of a fair wa* made Wednesday. XX'hen It wa* annoiimed yesterday that the meeting of the business men called for tl.n previous evening was a fizzle It stirred into action many ot those who Intend'd to be present, but who weie kept away Ly previous engage ments. As a result a slip was printed outalnlng the foilowing; Im you want th«.» Chamber of Com;n«'i «'c to take charge of the | <• lebratlon daring fair week? Where do you waut the fair held -on.Valn street or the fair grounds? What sum will you contribute? Name. Tt <■ purpi e of this slip la to give you a chance to express y our cholc..' ut th«» question of the fair at.«! iu»!.<:.te wiire you desire it a: 1 the amount you want to con tribute. TLI* I* a matter for the buUi>»»l ni'-u to d side them selves. It Is their interest. The information Is for publication, and will appear in the local paper* on the day following their collec tion. This method is adopted for the purpo. - of avoiding kicking and argument. If you want to take part, sign up; if not, save this slip and return it. as every one will be accounted for and the information published. "Klamath Fall* and Klainath county will soon cum«! into It* own; in fact, It ha* already commenced to secure possession now," said A. M. Drake of Bend, Ore., at the Lakeside today. Mr. Drake i* one of the large land owners in Crook county, and U here on bl* first trip to Klamata Falls. "XX'e of Bern* can sympathize fully with you. We are still going through what this town ami county lias experienced tor the past thirty of forty yea* - hauling our freight *3 on wheel* and waiting fur a railroad —the road that has been predicted every year for time wiltcut memory. With us the day is dawuieg, and un- lees some unforeseen obstacle arise* we will enjoy the rapture* of railroad convenience before very long. "We are confidently expecting nut only the Harriman line to reach our city, but also the Hill line, and when t;. y come they will find us waiting for them with a brass band. There is little use in trying to build up a g. eat country without railroad*, they are a* necesrarj to the soil as 1» the water. When our day com s we are going to place before the people ot the world a country un*urpa*s»*«l by any on the Pacific coast. When i say this it i* not with a view to disparaging Klamath county. We admit that you have a section here ti a» is wcaderful, but I am not going to say ft is better than Bend. "Everyone here seems to be inter ested in the railroad fight that is in progress north of us, and I am asked on all sides if I tl.ink that Hill is coming south. 1 firmly believe he is coming to Bend, and 1 just a* firmly believe that he is coming to Klamath Falls. I have, of course, no definite information to that effect, but take a map, study it. and see for yourself. Hill is a great lover of lumber traffic. He is closely Identified with many of the great timber syndicates, par ticularly the Weyerhausers. There is everything down hern to induce him to come, and he generally goes where there is traffic. That is why I say that Klamath Falls will soon come into its own. It will soon throw off its swaddling clothes and awake some fine morning to find itself blossoming out into a full-fledged city. "Railroads make a country; they make a people; they open np the re sources of the sections they pene trate. Folowing such there can be but one result—prosperity for every one identified with the places affect ed. The future of Oregon was never brighter and it I* all due to the pros pects of two railroads—competing lines." lines. “There Is one thing that I would like to call to the attention of your county officials without appearing to meddle in matters of a local nature— the repairing of the roads between Fort Klamath and Odell. This high way can be placed in splendid condi tion by expending a comparatively small amount.” These were passed around to the busine«* men ot the city this af»er- n«M>n. and they will be collected to morrow. when they will be tabulated and the information thereon con tained will be published in the local papers. This method of gathering informa tion as well as ascertaining the amount each person is willing to con tribute is unique and original. Like everything that is new, it is due to necessity. The experience of those who have passed around a subscrip tion list has been such as to deter them from engaging in it again, as well as preventing the uninitiated from stepping to the front and taking their place. Under the system that is to be followed this year there will be no arguing nor opportunity for enter ing complaint. The slip will be hand ed to the business man and he will have a day to consider what action he desires to take. He fills it out ac cordingly and hands it to the person ••ollecting them. The object is not to raise a mam moth fund. The mark has been set reasonably low, and if all of the busi ness men will contribute none will be burdened. It is the purpose of those back of the move to turn these slips over to the Chamber of Commerce for it to take action in the matter. If the sentiment in favor of it taking hold of the celebration and the1 Amount contributed is sufficient to Justify it the directors will undoubt-, <»d!y act favorably on it. One of the reasons for the difficulty ; Em mitt Beeaom, who recently pur in raising funds for a celebration is chased a ranch near this city, came the everlasting dramming for money over front M«»dford Thursday in his for some cause or other.
