sow TO REAP

that as long as unclcs ana cousins
friends and neighbors, were de
pended on for help, the grain
would 70 uncut and her nest would
not be molested. But when the
farmer and his son rolled up their
shirt sleeves and whetted thcii
sickles. the lark told her offspring
II was time to seek other quar-
ters.
Opportunity Is ripe for harvest
In klamath county. bat we must
not depend upon our oregon cous-
ins and California neighbors TO gar
ner our crop.
They have business OF their own
TO attend TO. aud, giving them full
erodit. they are attending 10 1t
diligently.
We can profit by their example.
and can hope to get help from them
as long rs our Interests aud theirs
lie along parallel lines.
Dat when {, comes TO reaping
benefits In our own field OF op-
poltunity, We will have to furnish
tho slokles and the arms to WELD
them.
Plainly speaking It Is time to
spend all the money we can and
use all ;ae energy available TO In
tcroft the world in the possibilities
OF klamath.
Every dollar spent in obtaining
pablicity for Klamath is dollar
wisely inve1ied-not donated" or
contributed" but INVESTED. with
as near certainty that Il will re-
turn two or thTe dollars on SID
linves;mcnt Ss anything offers in
the realm OF business investment.
We have no gold brick proposi-
tlon to sell. We do not deal In
futures. but VIC have the tangible
values, IN land and resources 10
offer the settler OF today.
And In addition we have the as
surance OF two great railways. that
in the event that either acquires
the Central Pacific system. the
lines in ihis territory will be ex-
tended. In any even: We are
promised a main line. and tacitly
promised a terminal point on
transccntirontal system.
There are thousands OF families
In the ccngesied centers OF the east.
equipped with small capital, who
would see In what We have TO Of
fer heaven-sent opportunity.
They would welcome the chance
TO settle on the lands pf the Klam-
a.h basin. productive from the
start. and when the railway de-
velopment comes. as come Il will
in time. they would get the de-
served compensation Of .the plon-
cering empire builders.
This Is no time for hiding our
llght under bussei We have a
potential empire in our hands
More capital and more workers are
needed To develop II. by letting
the Torld know what We have TO
oifer--from Jobs al the present
i!me for thousand pairs Of hands
10 enterprises that will appeal TO
the investor seeking 4 safe field in
which 10 set his wealth to work
Ing we have something to interest
men and women Of many diyersi-
fled CLASSES.
Tho moyement In Northern Cali
fornia is designed To benefit Cali
fornia. not Oregon We may ex-
pect benefits from 1t, certainly. for
percentage OF people attracted to
view Northern California VIII over
flow into southern Oregon.
But, at that, we only CLEAN
among the stubbie. whore Others
have reaped the bulk OF the har-
vest.
We say again that II klamath Is
TO get the full advantages to which !
VIC are entitled, We must spend our
own money and combine every |
ounce Of community energy to ad- /.
yertise the possibilities OF Klam- !
ath.
We have 100 long pursued a
policy OF letting Others DO the SON.
Ing. in the hope that some OF the !
seed would fall in Klamath soil and !
We wonld reap an undeseryed and /
unproportionate benefit.
That policy has never worked
and never will. Only as we SOW
wisely. may be expect to reap
largely.
