The Indian word klamath" means
in the native tongue, the assem-
bling, the bringing together" or
the gathering of the tribes" and
the pale face usurpers of the country
of the Klamath and the Modoc have
accepted the word with all of it's
copper-colored definitions, although
they view the definitions from the
angle of white mans vision.
To the Indian it was the Klamath
of the waters, and of fish and of
fowl, and of the antlered and furred
game that meant food and raiment
for his people, and viewed thus it
was the Indians paradise. But to the
white man it means that the klamath
is to become the home of multitudes,
and that where the tepee and the
dug-out added to the picturesque
ness of the landscape yesterday, the
smokestack and the skyscraper will
reach heavenward tomorrow.
Klamath Falls, away down in
Southern Central Oregon, near the
California line, is not a new town;
it is new only in it's awakening. For
ty-four years ago it was made a
United States postoffice, and during
all of that period it has been the
trading point for the handful of "cow
men" or sheep owners to whom it
was the supply center; but always
it was the Indians klamath. and
not till a paternal government I'M
dertook the problem of adding mois-
ture to the dry sagebrush plains,
and of extracting moisture from the
overlooking swamp lands, did the
awakening come. Today, with work
progressing on these irrigation and
reclamation projects, and with rail-
roads pointing the way toward the
new country, thousands of people
in all parts of the nation are asking
what of Klamath?"

Electric Lights from
City to College
Chamber of Commerce, City Council
and College Authorities Cooperate
In Improvements.

At the meeting of the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce, held at the
Palace hotel last Tuesday evening,
many matters of Importance were
discussed by the enthusiastic boost
ers present. The matter of lighting
one street from the city to the COL
lege grounds by string of electric
lights was brought up for consid-
Grafton and the city improvement
and sanitation committee reported
on the proposition as follows.
"Your committee begs leave to re-
port that joint meeting was held
this evening with the committee
from the city council and President
Bryan and Professor Carpenter from
the college. Plans were formulated
which, If adopted, will provide for a
string of electric lights beginning at
the N. P. bridge near the city hall,
going east one block to Star Route
street, thence north to Oak street,
thence east to the arch at the en-
trance to the campus. A string of
lights is to be extended across under
the arch. The city to put in the
lights and maintain them to the cor
ner of Oak and Star Route streets,
the college to maintain the lights
from the corner of Oak and Star
Route streets to the college
grounds"
(Signed) J. E. ELSE, Chairman.
The report was adopted and in all
probability the work on the string
of lights will be started within a few
days.
Secretary Harrison stated that at
the request of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce he had sent a telegram
to President Taft, asking him to urge
congress to give San Francisco the
Panama-Pacific International Expo

Situated as it is on the eastern
slope of the Cascade range, the Kla-
math country becomes, geographical
ly, part of eastern Oregon, with the
rather rigorous winter climate and
dry summers of that region. The ele-
walton of the district ranges from
1900 feet to 5000 feet above the lev
ell of the sea, about double the eleva-
ton of the Palouse, while the rainfall
is but IA inches, little more than
one-half that of the Palouse country.
These conditions have limited pro-
duction and made stock raising the
chief industry of the Klamath. Under
dry farming rye hay was largely
raised, with some alfalfa in the more
favored regions, although the flocks
and herds were dependent in the
main on the wild hay for winter feed
The soils in the valleys that are to be
brought under irrigation are for the
most part sandy loans, fertile and
productive, where not too strongly
impregnated with alkali and resem-
BILE, in appearance and analysis, the
soils of the Yakima valley country.
This land, unimproved and covered
with growth of sage and rabbit
brush sells at from $40 to $50 per
acre, without water right. The cost of
water is about $50 per acre for per-
petual right this sum being paid in
ten annual installments of Sc each.
In alfalfa this land will produce an
average of about three tons per acre
in two cuttings, and alfalfa is now,
and will likely remain, the chief
product Of the soil, being the basis
of a continued stock industry, al
though the cattle of the range will
be largely replaced with dairy herds
and the alfalfa fed hogs. The ex-

Cost of Running County in 1910 Shows
Healthy Increase Over Preceding
Year. Disbursements $125,37O

ColfaX, Wash. Tho reports issued
by Auditor Duncan for 1910 have
just been printed Comparison with
the conditions a year ago are diff
cult, as the last legislature changed
the fiscal year end to January from
June 80.
The tax levied for state and county
is $S22,OOO on valuation of $37,-
1886, as against a levy of $685.
661 in 1909 on a valuation of $24,-
$4,000. The valuation has in
creased nearly so per cent, the
amount of the tax has increased
$4,000 and the tax rate, state and
county, has dropped from 10 mills in
1909 to IL mills in 1910.
The rate of valuation was raised
from 81 per cent of the real value to
approximately A per cent. In addi-
ton to this the county assessed this
last year nearly three times as many
miles of railroad as the year pre-
vious. In 1903 there were 533 miles
of railroads assessed, while in 1910
there were 170S. The difference
was caused by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound and by the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle

The road built by the Northern Pa
cific up the north branch of the
Snake river was assessed this year for
the first time.
In all the valuation of the railroad
property was increased from $5,627,-
1916 to $9,9S3,381. All railroad
taxes have been paid to date except
that assessed the O. r. & N.
The total disbursements for the
year have reached $125,370 against
S106,456 for 1909. Almost without
exception the cost of the county of
fees has been greater in 1910 than in
1909. In the auditors office the
cost in 1909 was $12,779. with fees
TO $G744 as against ) b.
1856 in 1910 with $9451 in fees Two
elections were handled by the office
this year against the one local option
election handled the previous year.
The treasurer had, in 1909, eX-
penses $6991 with $45 in fees and in
1910 expenses $3.50 with SO in
fees.
The clerks expenses were $3562,
with $331S fees in 1909, against
$36O7 expenses and $33O7 fees in

$8449 with $1425 in fees in 1909,
against $97O4 with STAG fees in
1910.

Funds Show IA Decrease.

The following items showed a de-
crease in cost in the two years, in
oigent relief from $6171 to $3874,
tax rolls $2746 to $fS87, charitable
institutions from $40 to $3.50, and
the bounties paid for pelts of wild
beasts dropped from $786 to 1913.
The largest increase in the county
expenses, however, is that in the road
and bridge fund, attributable to the
floods of last March
The amount charged to this fund in
1909 was $62, 473, which amount was
increased to $105,59S in 1910.
The resources and liabilities show
that the county is not in as good a
financial condition at the present re-
port as it was at the end of 1909.
The total resources at that time were
$385.97S. and the liabilities $8873,
leaving an excess of resources over
liabilities of $377105, while in the
1910 report the resources are SAT-
AL, the liabilities $81,461, and the
excess 1855, 052
In 1903 the delinquent tax was
$47258, against a delinquent tax of
$I23,3S1 the present year. The large
amount of the delinquent tax is due
to the refusal of the O. r. & ~ to pay
their assessment.
The cash on hand in county funds
last year was $20,520, while in 1910
only $5752 remains.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1911-01-27

The cost of the commissioners Of
flee in 1903 was $3OS5, against
$3.50 in 1910; coroner 1876 in 1909
and $3.50 in 1910; health officer
$i$65 in 1909, and 1928 in 1910.
The cost of running the court
house was increased from $9363 in
1909, to $12,226 in 1910. The
greater part of this increase was due
to the expenses of repair after the
March flood
The cost of the superior court in
creased from $7625 in 1909 to $12.-
675 in 1910. In the prosecuting at
torney's office, where the expense was
increased from $2769 to $5605, the
long-continued cases following the
failure of the Palouse State bank
were costly to the county, as were
also the three murder cases tried
during the year
In the county school superinten-
dents Office there was little change,
the cost being $4452 in 1909, and
$446 in 1910.
From 1903 to 1910 the costs of
the justice of the peace court increas-
ed from $62S to 1891, the cost of the
county Jail from 1867 to $1,000. the
poor farm and hospital from $3.50

from the Pennsylvania railroad sta

minutes he stood in the grand ball
room of the hotel, pinning a gold eagle
to his coat and thanking the New

REPUBLICANS RULE
IN SENATE MENACED
Insurgents to Take Party Row
Up on Floor.

Washington, April 29.-The split in
the Republican ranks, which threat
ems Republican supremacy in the SEN
ate, assumed grave proportions when
the regular Republicans fatty refused
to meet three demands of the inSur-
gents.
These demands were that Senator
LaFollette be given a place on the
committee o. Interstate commerce;
Senator Bristow a place on the for
eign relations committee and Senator
Cummins a place on the finance COM
mittee.
Coupled with these demands was
the one that Senator Bourne be ap-
pointed to the appropriations commit

The meeting of the committee on
committees was brief. The regulars
attempted to end the trouble by grant
ing the demand that Senator Bourne,
who is head of the Republican Pro
gressive league, should have a place
on the committee on appropriations,
nominally the ranking committee of
the senate.
Senator Gallinger, the chairman,
laid before it a completed list of ap-
pointments to the various committees.
When it was discovered by Mr.. LaFol-
lette that only one of the four final in
surgent claims had been allowed, he
Immediately announced his complete
disapproval of the tentative list.
The caucus voted to accept the list
of committee appointments. The pro-
gressive senators reserved the right
to object further, and thus the fight
goes to the floor of the senate.
