SCHOOL PRINTING PLANT
DELAYED BY STRIKE

The delay in providing the complete
printing outfit for School No. 1 has
~exasperated the members of the Board
of Education and the Instructor in
Printing in the city schools.
1t is now almost six months since
the order was placed for this plant and
so far the tables, cabinets and cases
necessary to hold the type and other
materials have lot arrived.
Last week Mr.. Middleton wrote to
the manager of the Philadelphia
branch of the American Type Found
ers Co., asking for special effort to
have the remainder of the materials
shipped at once.
The reply received on Monday is
as follows; we are in receipt of your
favor of the 18th inst, and do not
blame you at all for being exasperated
over the delay in shipping the case
racks to the school. The matter has
been painfully embarrassing to us.
There is only n factory from which
these goods could be obtained, and
they had a tremendous strike on,
which lasted a long while. The stu
alton was so serious that u Com
pany recently purchased a large wood
mill in Belvidere, New Jersey, and is
arranging to make these goods itself.
Il am taking the matter up for the
fourth time with the works, to try and
get the stands shipped. 1t has been
hard trouble to get them to do any
thing"

WOOD HAS VARIED
CIVIL P
PROBLEMS.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

From time to time people ask,
"What has been the administrative
and business experience ot Leonard
Wood? What has been his experience
with men outside of the army? What
does he know about conditions in the
different parts of the United States
and in our overseas possessions? Has
he any thorough knowledge of foreign
affairs and of our foreign relations?"
The administrative qualities of
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he in com
pick fields of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with il the Eeces-
sity for the exercise of keen business
acumeu.
The republic Of Cuba, built upon
firm democratic foundations, is a mon
ument. to the administrative ability of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines is
to be fourd another monument TO his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated in medi-
cine from Harvard University In 1884
and served for more than a year In
one of the great hospitals, later to
take charge Of the charity depart
ments in q section Of the city Of Bos-
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion of
Woods work In Boston he became an
assistant surgeon in the army, coming
into contact with the western plains
man, the miner, the people generally.
and giving much of his time to the
work of assisting the Indians and to
a study of the problems Of irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years in California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance of
his duties and extended his field as
occasion required into the states of
the Northwest. Then for two years he
was in service in the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city of Washington, where his
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations with VIII
liam Mckinley and the men of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign in Cuba as the col
onel of the regiment of rough riders
of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel.
At the close of the Spanish war
Leonard Woods supreme admInistra-
tive duties began. He was made the
governor of the city Of Santiago and
a few weeks later Of the entire east
ern half of Cuba.
Under Wood profteering was abol-
ished, industry was built up. agricul-
ture rehabilitated, hospitals organ
lied, equipped and maintained, tens
of thousands of people clothed and
fed-and all this done in a thorough
~busiIesslike manner 1t was done un-

BOXERS READY
FOR SOUND Of
GONG TONIGHT

With everything in readiness for
the latest show of the Klamath Falls
Municipal Boxing Commission. fans
and boxers alike are eagerly awaiting
the gong for the curtain raiser at
the Houston Opera house tonight.
Young Papke, the pride Of Sacra-

night looking fit as a fiddle and
claiming that it will never be neces-
sary for his contest to go six rounds.
With his arrival all eight of tonight's
fighters are in town and it would be
hard to find better specimens of ply
sical manhood.

nights bout will be hot one. Both

getting their man in the early

rounds and both are known as rough
and ready fighters. Huff Is out to-
keep his name as king bee of this
section OF the country, while Fiddler,
has his eve on the coast title. Local
sentiment is about equally divided
with the upper end Of the county
hacking Huff and the lower end and
outsiders taking Fiddler.
OF scarcely less interest will be
the semi-final between Young Papke
of Sacramento and Bud Stevens OF
Portland. They are both fast snappy
lightweights and the commission Is
congratulating itself on having a re-
feree who is good Judge of points.
For the curtain raiser Toughy Will
son and the Chiloquin Bearcat will
go four rounds. Their last fight was
a draw and both have been trying
to prevail on the commission to let
them go six rounds or more in order
to get q final decision as to their
prowess.
Ern Grafton and Young Fonville
are local boys who are well known to
the fans in this section. Each has
large circle Of hackers and each one
on his toes to win in order to get
in the main bout class.
II is believed that the opera houses
will be taxed 20 its limit tonight as
this bids fair to be the biggest show
over staged in Klamath county. The
Commission has spared no expense in
bringing in representative fighters

mise to make this city the talk Of
