A recent ruling of the Secretary
of the Interior bad the effect of
stopping any further work on the gov­
ernment exp«?rim«;ntal farms under
the Reclamation Service, at least for
the present. Besld«« the swamp land
farms, the Service was making ar­
rangements tor a lease of upland on
which to conduct experiments in dry
farming. These plans will also have
to be abandoned.
In his ruling Secrettary Ballinger
stated that he can find no provision
in the Reclamation Act for the use of
any of the funds for the purpo-te of
securing lands for experimental pur­
poses or for the erection of buildings
thereon.
On all of the projects where ex­
perimental farms were being con­
ducted, an arangement was made be­
tween the Service and the Plant Bu-
leau of the Agricultural Department
whereby the Service was to furnish
the land and erect the necessary
buildings and the Bureau would
stand the expense of operating the
station find conducting experiments
In the Klamath Project, the Service
secured a 25-year lease on a tract of
swamp land, which still bas about 22
years to run. It is believed that the
ruling will not invalidate this lea.se.
but the buildings necessary will cost
about *2000, .»• r.niess these are
provided, the Department of Agri­
culture will be unable to c< ntinue.
If this should prove to be the case,
it would mean that all of the expense
and work of dyking and drainage in
preparing the land would be wasted
as far as any benefit to tbe land own­
ers under the project were concern«*!
It has been suggested, in view of
the conditions, that the Water Users'
Association might consider it to tbe
advantage of the farmers to take up
the work and provide the necessary
money for the buildings and thus
carry out the arrangement with the
Plant Bureau.
DISPOSES OF INTEREST IN THE
AMERICAN BANK « TRUST CO.
Financial Institution Now Owned and
Officered by Melbases, Schal-
lock and Daggett
Another important change in
Klamath Falls financial institutions
took place Monday when Maj. Chas.
E. Worden sold his entire Interest in
the American Bank & Trust Com­
pany to his associates, Fred and Guv
Melhase, Fred Schallock and C. H.
Daggett. Mr. Worden's holdings is
said to have been *35,000.
Following are the new officers of
the bank elected Monday: Fred
Melhase, president; Fred Schallock,
vice-president; C. H. Daggett, secre­
tary; Gus Melhase, treasurer; A. M
Worden, cashier. The bank is capi­
talized at *100,000, which is fully
paid up. It was determined at yes­
terday's meeting that the trust de­
partment would pay four per cent
interest on time deposits. Hereto­
fore the bank has been paying but
three per cent.
It is hardly necessary to say any­
thing in relation to the new officer*
of this institution, as each and every
one Is well known to the residents
of Klamath County. They are al«
business men who have made their
money tn this county and show the
utmost confidence in the country by
reinvesting their money here. The
tank owns the building which they
occupy on the corner of Main and
Fifth.
No reason is given for Mr. Wor­
den's retiring from the banking busi­
ness. but It is generally understood
that his other large interest* de­
mand bls entire attention. Major
Worden was one of the moving spirits
tn the orgsnization of the First Na­
tional Bank, qs he was also ths
founder of the American Bank 4k
Trust Company.
