TEN YEARS AGO The timber resources
of klamath county were well-known
to every resident. Everybody knew that
the development of those resources
meant prosperity, and profits; not only
to the promoters and operators, but to
every business man, working man and
property owner. They also knew that
it would take money to build and oper-
ate saw mills. Did the citizens of kla-
,math Falls get together behind the
sawmill propositions and finance this
development and hasten the prosperity
and profits? No. They waited for out
side men with vision, nerve and capital
to come in and produce prosperity for
klamath AND PROFITS FOR THEM
SELVES. Who will reap the big pro-
fits from Klamath's timber resources?
Not the residents of klamath of ten and
fifteen years ago. They did not have the
foresight to see the possibilities, or the
nerve to bet their money They Weyer-
haeusers, the Lon g-Bell, the Montensens,
the Goldthwaites ana others with nerve
and foresight came IN and seized the
opportunity that Kla=nsth's own citi-
zens were blind to.
TO DAY the same opportunity is before
us in oil. The opportunity of the business
man, the farmer and the working man,
(the very ones who will benefit most
by the general prosperity to get behind
the local companies now being orga-
nized and assure themselves of a share
in the big profits which would follow
oil development.
Will they do it, or will they wait until
oil is gushing out in klamath Valley? 1t
will be too late then; The Standard and
other big ones with capital, vision, and
nerve will have it all grabbed up by
that time.
HOW ABOUT YOU? Are YOU going to
pass up the opportunities in oil, just as
you passed up the opportunities in
timber?
DON'T BE ONE OF THE TOO
LATERS!

W passed by number of groups
of American food growers and
bought of foreigners.
The Pacific Rice Growers Associ-
alton, for example, has three and
one-half million bags of rice in the
Sacramento valley for which it can
find no home market. Prohibitory
freight rates have left this good rice
on the producers hands.
On the mud flats in San Francisco
harbor at least fifteen ships under
control by the Shipping Board are
rotting in idleness. Wholesale food
prices have on the average fallen
nearly to the 1914 level, some below.
If this American grown rice were
bought with American money, put in
American ships standing idle in San
Francisco harbor and carried to
Chinese port, whence the Chinese
government is eager to transport it
freely to the famine district, three
useful results would follow:
Many American farmers would be
saved from bankruptcy; idle Ameri
can ships would be saved from stag

be saved from starvation.
But no! A representative Of
American farmers consulted certain
eminent international bankers re-

lest the people should harbor an
