Crash landing essentialsWhen a pilot is forced to ditch in a
large body of water, several key sup-plies can be the difference between life and death.
Anti-cold exposure suits, inflatable life rafts, flares — all are meant to fit within a pair of small sacks pilots can hopefully bring with them in case of a water landing.
The sacks contain tools that allow pilots to make a fire, cut loose from parachute strings and maintain them-selves on their raft for long periods of time.

The Klamath
Falls Downtown
Association (KFDA)
has tackled another
improvement project
for the downtown area
in an effort to keep our
beautiful downtown
vibrant and attractive to
not only those of us that
are here everyday, but
visitors, and potential
residents and businesses
as well.
Many of you may recall
seeing the “Cell Tech
Team” mural that was
painted on the side of the
building at 1114 Main
Street, it is one of the
first things you see as you
enter downtown from
Main or Esplanade Street.
Although Cell Tech was
once an integral part
of this community and
contributed largely to our
local economy, this mural
no longer accurately
depicts Klamath Falls or
its heritage.
That being said, we have
been granted approval to
paint a new mural on that
building. KFDA, along
with the Klamath County
Museum, have selected a
logging theme to honor
the Basin’s ties to that
industry. KFDA have
contracted Chris Young,
the same talented artist
that has commissioned
the other murals
downtown, to paint the
image.
Our Association has been
awarded a grant from
the Klamath County
Cultural Trust for $1,000
to get the project started.
Although we have been
very fortunate to receive
these grant funds, they
only cover a fraction
of the total cost of the
project. We are humbly
asking for support in
order to see this project
through to completion.
It is our hope that if this
project interests you, will
consider contributing to
the Mural Fund. If so,
please send a check to:
Klamath Falls Downtown
Association RE: Mural,
PO Box 372,Klamath
Falls, OR 97601
Any donor of $500 or
more will be recognized
on the mural itself and
all other donors will be
recognized in a letter of
thanks. The mural is well
underway and Chris is
doing a beautiful job. We
encourage you to drive by
and see the project thus
far and the noticeable
improvement it has
already made.

Looking Back: This week in Klamath Basin history
By JACKIE BONNERKlamath County Museum
Week of July 11-171930The Langell Valley Oil
Company shut down all operation at its No. 1 well due to the fact that some landowners refused to lease their holdings.The gas war in Klam-
ath Falls ends, with all oil companies agreeing to sell their product to retail dealers at 21½ cents a gal-lon and the public buying it at 26½, allowing a 5 cent profit margin.Three brave hunters of
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company hunt in the Tule Lake lava beds, armed with snake bite cures, in hopes of bag-ging a few dead, or live, rattlesnakes to bring back to Klamath Falls and col-lect premiums.
1970A Pit River Indian paints the tribe’s name on the Pacific Gas and Elec-tric Company’s Pit Dam after a brief takeover by militant members of the
tribe. Moore Park Zoo sold
four of its seven elk to Harry Pon of Burns, who deals in zoo stock. The zoo will also upgrade the cages and pens.Plans to develop a
12,000-acre resort on Bry-ant Mountain, between Malin and Bonanza, call for an air strip, golf course, lodge, restaurant, trails, campground and stables.
1990Paisley will be buzz-ing with activity when it hosts the seventh annual Mosquito Festival. Previ-ous festivals had typically brought in about $3,000 to help the town with its mosquito abatement pro-gram.
The city of Klamath Falls applies to construct a year-round recreation area and environmental learning center, including a downhill skiing site, on 8,037-foot-high Pelican Butte.
2000Klamath Ice Sports officials pull an applica-
tion to construct a 185-foot by 85-foot covered ice rink near the Moore Park Marina due to opposition from area residents.
A subsidiary of Klam-ath Falls wood products manufacturer Jeld-Wen seeks to build a resort on the 8,036-foot high Peli-can Butte. Environmen-talists protest a request by Gov. John Kitzhaber’s that the Southern Oregon ski resort plan be exempted from a pro-posed federal ban on new roads in undeveloped areas of national forests.The third annual
Civil War Days and Old-Fashioned County Faire begins with a skirmish on Fort Klamath Muse-um’s parade grounds and the arrival of a seven-carriage wagon train.The Lions Club of
Klamath Falls is named the top club in its divi-sion at the Oregon Lions Convention in Ashland.
