This vnlloy lies in Nevada, nbout 12 miles from Surprise vnlloy, and par allel with that famous vhllo'. It touches tho south end of Lake county, Oregon, and is 70 miles long by 20 miles wide. Thero is ono frosh-wator lake three miles long and two mile3 mido, with an average of 12 feet in depth.

COLONEL RAY TO IMPROVE CENTRAL POINT PROPERTY CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 5. (Spe cial.) Announcement has boon mado thnt Colonol F. Ray, owner of tho Central Point hotel, will soon com mence a number of improvements upon tho proporty. At present tho building is wholly inadequate to ac commodate tho business, and much money leaves tho town every month on no other account thnn Inck of ho tel accommodations. It is under stood that nbout ton more rooms will bo added, converting tho old thenter and dnnce hall, which is n part of tho building, into sleeping apart ments. New porches will bo built around the building nnd n generally improved appearanco made. LAKEV1EW, Or., Nw. 5. Tiio people of Lnkoviow haw Jong been looking for some rnilrowl to build into Lnko county and t.--nucct tho county scat with tho ontaMo world. At times during tho past year tho prospect would be bright and tho peo plo coincident. Prospects woro novor so bright as now. Applications filed in tho United States land office during the pnst week show 10 homostends and two dosort land claims nro sought, nnd nlso two railroads havo filed appli cations for rights of way over gov ernment lnnds. Those aro tho Klam ath Falls and Alturas apd tho Klam nth Falls and Natron roads. Tho former is to connect with a lino to Lnkoviow. It is no longer n secret that the J. J. Hill rond has bought 3000 acres adjoining Lnkoviow on the north. Tho contract for building tho N.-C.-O. to tho lowor ojid of Gooso Lnke vnlloy was lot this week and ropro sontnlivos of tho road have boon in Lakoview recently looking over tho situation. Men who clnim to bo in a position to know say that tho N.-C.-O. will push into Lnkoviow next summer without fail. CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 5. (Spe cial.) A erosv of linemen nro on gagod in running n now wire between this place nnd Rosebitrg for rnjlrond business, nnd as soon n it is com pleted our city will have an improv-' cd tclophono Forvico along tho rail road. As the condition stnnds nt present, it is impossible for tho em ployes of tho rnilrond hero to phono farther thnn Grants Pnss, and as a result it is almost impossiblo to so enro rmy accurate information re garding the arrival of trains or othor business. The company expects ta run the lino on ns far south as Ash land, too, giving us communication with tho south also. It is a curious fact, in tho fneo of tho volumo of business thnt would bo done, that thero is no telegraph offico in the town. Tho improved sorvicc will bo hailed with delight by the citizens of Central Point nnd tho traveling pub lic in general. LARGE FARMS ARE CUT UP NEIGHBORHOOD OF CORVALLIS BIG TIME FOR THE 100 CLUB TONIGHT All mcmhors and friends of tho 100 club nro urged to meot nt tho Bnptist church this evening nt 8 o'clock.

Tho logislnturo recently passed a resolution so framed ns to givo tho benefit of nny doubt to those sup posed to ho victims of tho scourge. They woro given tho right to npply for ro-oxaminntion whenover it was behoved their cases were doubtful. Tho declaration of tho physicians that 50 por cent 'of tho first 100'ox nmined never hnd leprosy hns cre ated a big sensation on tho island. Tho examinations nro now .being continued nnd it is expected thnt hundreds of othor members of the colony will apply for re-examinntion. ing to convoy all to tho homo of Mrs. L. E. Hoover, whoro they will bo on tortnined hv Mrs. Hoovor nnd Mrs. Mnmio Bennott. CORYALlIrS, Or., ' Nov. 5. The V. J.

J. Pcttit of, this city, who will cut it info fivo nnd ton-ncro tracts. Tho holding of largo ncrcnges is tho curse of tho Willnmotto valley. The brenkiug up of even smaller acreages brings a thrill of joy to tho small towns and cities, whose growth de ponds on tho development of tho fanning sections. Circuit Court. S. J.

A report wns sent out that tho company is irrespon sible, but it now seems that it would bo hardly possible1 to havo moro de lay in the bond issuo horo.
