Members of the Klamath Falls Commercial Club Appeal to Governor for Relief From Al leged Abuses. NAME THEIR GRIEVANCES Principul t'omplulnt Is Against ( oun ' ty Judge and ComnilsNlonerB, Who Are Charged With Crooked Work In Soiling1 County Poor Farm, and Who, It Is Claimed, Propose Building Court House That Would Swamp the County, , ( Declaring that they ore suffering from a -system of, craft on the part of the board of county commission ers in tholr county, that they are powerless to put an end to, about 60 members of the Commercial club, of Klamath Falls have petitioned Gov ernor West to assist them in putting an end to acts of extravagance on the part of the county court, which, if permitted to go on, will break the county. The statement covering the acts complained of is accompanied by a resolution by the Commercial club in which it says that the board of coun ty commissioners, ever since assum ing office, has perpetuated on the people a reign of extravaganco which It Ib powerless to prevent by the re call or Injunction proceedings. In the statement made by the pe titioners, It Is stated, that the county court's first act of extravagance and graft was In purchasing a new poor farm from the Judge's father for $4,420, and making a part of the consideration the old poor farm which was valued at $1500. The hoard failed to advlfle the taxpayers by advertising of Its intent to pur chase a new farm or to sell the old, It is stated, and had it done so, the old one would have sold for double the price as the Judge's lather, short ly after gninlng possession of It, sold a portion for $4,000. It is further charged that the board built an Inllrmutory on the new farm at a cost of $20,000, and equipped It In a most costly manner, when there are never to exceed 10 Inmates at the poor farm. Charges are also made that the board recently went on a Junketing trip, charging Its expenses to the county, and that It has sold county warrants for five and 10 per cent discount, making the county's credit bad. Just at the present, It Is stated, the board is threatening to build a court hmin which will cost $200,000, and the grounds about i00.i!00. and uf It without the consent of the people. Appeals have been made to the dis trict attorney to act, It Is charged, but he has failed to do so.

Mis wife and three children live in this city, and the woman earns part rt the money to support the family. Their house rent costs $14 a month, but she must keep a girl to care for the children while she goes out to work. The father of the children wants work of any kind that he ran do, and persons having work by the day. wnek or month In the city will find a willing.
