1I0LSTEIN CATTLE
Opportune Time For
Farmers to Invest
In Stock
While in California last week J. F.
Hanson purchased 36 head of blooded
Holntcin cows and heifers in Tulsre
County. The cattle will be shipped in
tnis week and taken to Mr. Hanson's
place on the Went Side. He states
that owing to the extremely dry season
in different parts of Culirornia owners
of dsirv herds me compelled to sacri
fice their Btock. While this is a serious
loss to the California farmers they are
anxious to dinpone of their stock, which
in Mr. llanion's opinion offers a won
dcrful opportunity for formers of this
auction to seen ro good dairy stock at
low prices.
Especially ia the opportunity great
now that we are to get a creamery. Un
fortunately Mr. Hanson did not know
that such an Industry was to be estab
lished here bo soon or, he said, ho
would have bought more cuttle while
away.

TO SUPPLYffl WHEAT
MANAGER DUNAWAY OF N.-G-O.
MAKES LIBERAL PROPOSITION
Choice seed grain will be furnished farmers
on their notes, payable after product is
marketed German and Scandi
navian colonists possible
"Make every acre earn a profit
every fellow help the other fellow and
then we can all share in the substantial
profit certain to follow."
Such was tha substance of a state
ment made by T. F. Dunswsy, Vice
President and General Manager of tha
N.-C.O. Railway, which not only opens
up a msrvelous farming country In
the Gonse Lake Valley but all along
the line through the three etstes sug
gested. Mr. Dunaway came up to
Kairport Saturday evening from Keno
to spend a few days in this valley look
ing over the road, and incidentally to
temp the fish in Goose Lake.
Harry Bailey with other local busi
ness men Sundsy motored to Kairport
and met Mr. Dunawav and returned
with the good newa that the railroad
officials statement was reinforced by the
further announcement that his road
would furnish seed wheat, or any other
grain reoulred. to any farmer in this
section or other section adjacent to
the N.-C.-O., who would make appli
cation for the grain.
"We will furnlih the seed," promised
Mr. Dunaway, "procure a prolific and
carefully selected variety, take the
farmer'a note for it and he can pay
this note out of the proceeds of his
crop after it is marketed."
As a further evidence that tne rail
road contemplates a vigorous coopera
tive campaign in the direction of help
ing settlers and developing the tribu
tary country, it was also announced
by Mr. Dunaway, that be has appointed
Fred G. Shaffer, of Fairport, us land
commissioner for the railroad. Mr.
Sha.T:r is highly recommended as a
farmer and fruit raiser, and for years
was one of the prominent members of
the Colorado State Board of Horticul
ture. In regard to opening up the possibil
ities of this country Mr. Dunaway is
quoted in an interview as follows:
"Our aim is not onlv the settlement
of the country tributary to the road,
but we want successful and katisfied
settlers and will work with that ob
ject In view. The N.-C.-O. country
represents an empire of opportunity.
BOAT FOR GOOSE
LAKE IS RUMOR
Bier Steamer May Ply
Waters With Freight
and Passengers
According to news dispatches' that
have appeared in some of the outside
dailies Goose Lake is to have a 300
passenger twin-screw steamer R. C.
Bodies, formerly one of the best known
boatmen in Los Angeles ar.d other
coast points is said to be instigator of
the plan. This will be one of the
largest boats in service on any of the
fresh water lakes west of the Great
Lakes and will render a needed service
for farmers and others living in this
valley.
The boat will be used for passenger
service as well as to divert freight
from one side to the other. It is fur
ther reported that the new move means
the establishment of a large sawmill
on the eaet side to handle tha immense
timber in the forest reserve and Weyer
haeuser interestsjon the west side.
The house has passed upon an emer
gency resolution appropiiatlng if 000,.
000 tor the hire of additional clerks
by the postoffice department. This
action is taken to prevent the crippling
of the postal service, following the
advent of parcel post. '
General farming, or rather diversified
farming will, in my opinion, furnish
the ey to unlock the treasures of the
soil. To follow the idea of one re
source ia disaster.
"There is a rule of reason in agri
culture which we cannot well avoid.
If we have many resources and one of
them fails the dtscoursgement ia hard
ly appreciable. If, on the other hand,
we have just ore resource and for any
reason, that fails, dissster is certsin
to follow. The N.-C.-O. country, and
especially the Goose Lake Valley,
should prove a remarkably successful
one for bog rsising, oairy business,
poultry raising or anything allied wit b
agriculture."
Mr. Dunaway also expressed himself
to the Lakeview delegation as being
very much pleased over the fact that
we are to get a creamery and thinks
that such an industry will be a great
fs-tor toward tha early development
of this country.
His plan to furnish local farmers
wit,h choice seed wheat will be bailed
with much delight by every resident
of this section. It means a revelation
to the farming business as it will
double and treble the returns that have
heretofore been received from yields.
The seed is the most important key to
success in grain raising. This matter
has been sadly neglected in this sec
tion, as the writer knows of some in
stances where lands have been seeded
year after year without making any
change in the variety of seed other
than the grain grown on the same lend
for many seasons. This fact alone is
enough to avoid success, regardless of
the best of cultivation, soil and cli
matic conditions.
Mr. Dunaway's actions is evidence
of his unbounded faith in this valley,
and such a campaign will mean the
rapid settlement and development of
the numeroua idle acres. The rosd is
reaching to get German and Scandi
navian colonists, and we may rest as
sured that the N.-C.-O. will labor un
ceasingly to bring about the best re
sults for the country tributary to its
line.
DREWS SAW MILL
WILL OPEN SOON
i
Contract Let For Deliver-
ing One-Half Million
Feet of Logs
, Bert Tompkins, who last year had
; charge of the Goose Lake Vallev Irri
gation Company's sawmill on Drews
Creek, has returned from Klamath
Fulls and will operate the mill this
j season. Lumber is now being planed
i to finish up the lacing of the dam, and
I sawing will bs started as soon as logs
are delivered to the yard.
A conttract has been awarded to V.
H. Wall, of Klamath Falls, lor logging
one-half million feet of timber to the
mill. This amount of lumber will
complete the flumes in the canyon.
Mr. Wall expects to build a chute ao
that ha can drop the logs from the top
of the mountain direolly to the mill.
He began work Monday morning of
this week with a force of men and
teams and will have the chute com
pleted in tha course of a week.
It ia estimated the damage to prop
erty in ibe British lies caused by the
militant suffragettes during the last
three months amounts to more than
$5,000,000. To this sum, deteotives
say mubt be added the cost of protect
ing lives and property.
AUTO WILL CARRY
MAIL TOJLAMATII
Change In Service Will Go
Into Effect
Today
An important change took place in
tha mail aervice between Lakeview
ana Klamath Falls last week when ar
rangements were completed here for the
Southern Oregon Auto Co. and W. L.
Clapp to take over the mail hauling
contract from the Consolidated Stage
Company. The change will go into
effect today and the mail will be con
veved between this city and Klamath
Fall by auto.
Tbia will give us daily mail aervice
to and from Klamath and Portland and
western mail will arrive here 12 hours
or more earlier, it will also greatlv
improve passenger service, aa it will
allow outgoing passengers to arrive in
Klamath Falls in time to take the
evening train at 5:30 for Portland or
San Francisco of the same day leaving
Lakeview.
It ia believed that the roads will per
mit operstion of autos until the first of
November, when the Consolidated
Stage will resume the contract. A
fare of S15 for one way will be charg
ed. J. S. Fuller will be retained as
local agent, the office remaining in

MERGER MADE IN
TELEGRAPH LINES
All Business In Lakeview
Will Go Through
One Office
W. E. Hills, Superintendent, and A,
J. Mathews, Secretary of the Califor
nia & Oregon Telegraph Co., arrived
in Lakeview Saturdav evening Irom
Reno for the purpose of merging the
C. & O. and N.-C-.O. telegraph offices
The latter was moved to the former's
office, the C. & O. office remaining at
its old location adjoining the public
library building.' All telegrams will
now be handled through that office,
The telephone business, excepting New
Pine Creek. Ft. Bidwell, Lake City
and Cedarville, will be bandied tbrougn
the local Telephone office of the Lake-
view-Pine Creek Electric Co.
Both telegraph lines will be kept in
service but there will be quite a num
ber of important changes made and
both will be overhauled and put in first
class condition, after which Lakeview
will have aa good telegraph and tele
phone service as any city in this sec
tion of the country. Later, it is un
derstood, a separate and distinct com
mercial wire will be put up from here
to Reno and no other business except
telegrams will be handled on this line,
while all phone business will be done
over seperate wires. Such arrange
ment will insure very quick and effi
cient service, both telegraph and tele
phone.
Klamath farmers are fattening hogs
on their surplus potato erops. Ten
carloads of hogs have been shipped in
to that district from Sacramento and
if potatoes on hand oan be utilized
profitably in this way, other large
shipments will be made.
