Judge r H. Bunneii.
City.
Dear Sir:
To refute any statements that
may have arisen to the contrary.
wish to state for your information
and the information OF others, that
County Courts have nothing to dc
with the location OF state Highways
These location surveys are made by
the State Highway Commission and
1re- approved BY the Bureau OF Pub.
lie Roads before any Federal aid
10 extended. They need not be ap'
proved by County Courts.
The customary procedure used
In securing state and Federal aid
BY counties 10 % follows: The
County Court appears before the
State Highway Commission and re-
quests cooperation ON certain
road, say the Dailes California high
way north rom klamath Falls. The
commission send their engineers
into the field to make . survey
These engineers decide whether the
route shall follow the east or the
west side OF the lake, whether II
shall 20 by way Of ChiloQuin OF
Fort Klamath. They also decide
the width OF the roadbed. degrees
of curves, and rates OF gradients as
well as the kind OF surfacing mater
ial.
Plans. estimates, etc. are prepar-
ed and the State Highway Commis'
sion In turn ask the government for
Federal aid. An engineer from the
bureau OF public roads Is then sent
into the field to inspect the lcca-
ton and II he desires any changes,
they have to be made before any
Federal aid is extended.
On the present contracts In Kla-
math County. the Federal govern
ment contributes 500 Of the cost
and the State and County 25 %
each. In addition the State fur
nishes the engineering costs which
generally amount TO about lO% OF
| the total amount OF the contract.
To sum everything up II might
be said. that the County select the
road they want improved, the State
make the location survey. and the
government pass final judgment on
Il and any changes upon which they
insist. are made by the State.
These are the methods which
have been used on all Federal aid
projects in this County.
You ask me to give the reasons
Why the present location from kla-
math Falls to Merrill was adopted
| by the State Highway Commission,
This location was adopted and ap-
proved by the Bureau Of Public
Roads az well as contracts awarded
prior to my arrival In this territory.
However ! would say that some OF
the reasons why the location might
be said to be justified are as follows:
II happens that the road from the
city limits Of klamath Falls 70 the
junction to the Dairy road 10 desig.
mated a. the klamath Falls-Merrtil
Section. We know that this y the
l logical route for travel going q

3 CHOIRS sing
AT BIG REVIVAL
Splendid Music Feature
of Central Baptist
Services

Americas people are attending the
series of revival services being held
in the Central Baptist church. At the
morning service of one hour unusually
large numbers are present. At the
evening service three choirs are en-
gagged in the rendition of splendid
musical program each night, One
choir is composed of grown people
possessing pleasing voices, another is
the Junior choir, while the third choir
is composed of girls and boys under
twelve years of age who are rehears-
ed daily for the nights program. The
third choir is called the Sunshine
Choir" and sunshine radiates from
their happy young faces and bright
songs they sing.
The service is in charge of Rev.
William Wear, of Cordele, a gifted
speaker. His eloquence is of the far
reaching kind, and his subjects are so
simple and searching. At last night S
service the Junior Choir sang "Pll
Bring One," and it was beautifully
rendered. Tonight the Sunshine Choir
will sing the well-known "Jesus Bids
Us Shine The Juniors meet every
evening thirty minutes before the SER
vice for a special practice, while the
Sunshine singers meet every morn
ing at $3.50 for rehearsal.
DR.. Wears subject last night was
"Why My Prayers Are Not Answered
ed" and so forceful was his presenta-
ton that a number offered them
selves for special prayers.

NEGROES PRESENT DEMANDS 'AS YOUR
EQUALS LABOR PLANK DEMANDS IN.

CHICAGO, June 9.-(By Asso-
ciated Press) Final sitting of the
issues for the Republican platform
began today in special sub-commit-
tee of thirteen, while the remainder
OF the resolutions committee kept
open house to hear last-minute sug-
gestions and advice.
On the program of h hearings be-
fore the full committee was Sam.
uel Gompers, who brought some la
Dor demands" from Montreal, and
Frank P. Walsh, heading a delega-
tion asking declaration for recog-
milton of the Irish republic.
Resolutions in vigorous opposi-
tion to federal legislation similar to
the Kansas industrial court measure,
to unrestricted immigration and to
the use of injunction proceedings III
strikes were contained in the ode
mands'' submitted by G0mrers and
Matthew A. Wall, of the American
Federation of Labor.
Other demands included immedi-
ate relief from the high cost of liv-
ing burdens; extension Of the farm
loan act to give credit to al proper
ly organized cooperative aud in
dividual farmers, issuance of q
monthly statement by the Depart
ment of Labor on the cost of man
facture of staple articles, prompt
federal investigation of profits anc
prices and making accessible of al
income and other tax returns.

less stairways you suddenly come
out into something that is not like
anything in heaven or earth.
The fag-hung light studded
coliseum is too big for an interior
and not big enough for all out-of-
doors. Crowded with faces as tiny
and expressionless in its enormous
setting as the faces in Chinese
tea cup, with the platform thrust
ing out like a peninsula into the
center of the vast space, and with
the unprecedented outline of the
sounding board and the three
square wooden horns of the tele-
phonic voice magnifier suspended
like some mysterious symbol
above it.
It is all incoherent-the Wild
eyed women delegates trying to
find the entrance to their sections;
the tiny gesticulating figure of the
speaker under the doom-thrusting
finger of the sounding board; the
long low perpective of the galleries
from under which the unfortunates
slowed away there like cock
reaches from dark shelf, the
strange effect of the floor where
the upturned faces and closely
packed heads look like 6. sea OF
skulls under the ton light-all
these things seem to have no rela-
tion to each other; they register
Americus times-recorder., 1920-06-09


The delegates assembled with their
views as to who will lead the party at
the polls still a mystery even to them
selves. There had been no demon
stration even for favorite sons and
no mention of "the big three"
Wood, Lowden and johnson. The
Wood supporters drew comfort from
the developments yesterday, which
placed Senator Watson at the head
of the resolutions committee, and
Duffield at the head of the creden-
tials body. Both delegates are in
structed for Wood. Other leaders
continued to talk much of Lowden's
gathering strength.
1t was 20 when Chairman
Lodge called for order. DIR. John
Timothy Stone was today's chap
lain. On the call for the report of
the committee on credentials it was
read by Chairman Duffield, who
moved its adoption. Robert Church,
Memphis negro, who was unseated
by the committee, said he would not
ask the convention to consider the
minority report. The report was
dS was Ludb VI tilC NOAtA-
mittee recommending the temporary
organization be made permanent.
After the announcement that the
resolutions committee reported only
progress, Senator Depew made a
short address, followed by Mrs. Mar
garet Hill McCarter, of Kansas.
Depew Makes Hit.
When the resolution committee
sent word it could only report prog
ress and was not ready to present the
platform, Chairman Lodge asked the
convention what it wanted to do
meanwhile. There were cries for
"Depew, Depew," from the floor. De-
pew walked out on the speakers plat
form to the accompaniment of ap-
plause and cheers. Senator Lodge
says I'm an old man, but he's mis-

the problems growing out of the war,

Civil War and has proved its ability

declared none of the claims had
come from us as supplicants, for
we come as your brothers, and your
equals" he declared.
Realizing it had serious party his
tory to write, the subcommittee
moved away from the swirl of dele
gates and took up quarters in a Sc
cluded hotel bedroom, leaving or
ders that it was not to be disturbed
for any one or for any reason.
Members predicted it would not be
ready to quit before midnight at the
earliest.
At the outset the subcommittee
read through the report of Chair
man Hays committee of I'll, as it
had been revised in pre-convention
conferences. Most of it was written
into the platform without extended
discussion.
Samuel Gompers in presenting his
demands vigorously denounced GER
tain provisions of both the Esch-Cum-
minis Railroad Bill and the Kansas
law as attempts to take from ola
boring people the right of ownership
to themselves" and added that strikes
could no be prevented in this way.
A large crowd, including William
Jennings Bryan and a score of SEN
ators ana representatives heard Com
pers. Senator Watson who had been
absent from the chair, resumed it to
hear him.
Prohibition crept into the hearing
when Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League,
and four other drys urged the COM
mittee to take a firm stand for en-
forcement of the dry laws under the
Volstead act. Wheeler said the DEM
ocratic party would be compelled to
take a similar stand. Joseph ,ObergfeIi
of Cincinnati, urged modification Of
, the present dry laws.

Police Stop Driving
Through Rees Park

Chief of Police John 7. Bragg to-
day posted signs in Rees Park pro-
hibiting driving through that reser-
walton. The action was taken after
complaint had been made that par
ties were using the park as a road
way, and because of the danger to
children as a result of the practice.
The park, which is located in front
of the High school building, is a
playground for many children of the
neighborhood, and residents there
hope to preserve it's beauty, which
was being greatly marred through US
ing it as a roadway. Vehicles must
hereafter pass around the park, when
travelling there, roads on all four
sides being open to the public.
Americus times-recorder., 1920-06-09

no single impression on the mind.
But the noise, that is perfectl!
comprehensive. A blind man
would 'get" the convention per-
fectly. The sound OF 1880
voices all talking at once, is no
more like the sound of ordinary
speech than the roar of the sea is
like the splash of a bucket of wa
ter. 1t is the tremendous under
tone of the convention. 1t dies
to nominal quiet when speaker
appears of the platform, but it is
always there.
Above it before the session
opened rose the blare of the band
from its niche over the gallery, SO
far away from the press stand
that the red coated figures of the
leader looked like dancing doll.
1t played "Aida" and the song of
the lovers mingled queerly with
the clamor of politics. Then it
played "Dixie" and the voice of
the convention showed for the first
time what it can do when it is
raised in a yell. 1t made we want
to cry, not because l care particu-
larly about Dixie am not
Southerner-but because the
sound rubbed my nerves as the bow
of a violin rubs the strings.
The crowd cheered again when
Chairman Hays stepped forward to
open the convention, and again
when Henry Cabot Lodge, gray
headed and frock coated, stood up
with his speech in his hand to
"sound the keynote, but the old
timers beside me in the press stand
were not satisfied.
lawful FROST" they ,growled !;
eff it wasn't for that yell leader
they've got to call for cheers and
whoop 'em up there wouldn't be
any. You ought to have heard 'em
when Teddy was nominated.
But l was listening to another of
the convention sounds, the "tired"
voice of Henry Cabot Lodge, queer
ly multiplied by the apparatus over
his head and borne upon the muir
muring tide of sound that will not
cnd until this cJnvention like the
many others that Lodge has seen
has also passed into history.
