INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF CRATER LAKE ROAD ASSURED. Uncle Sam Approve Plant, and May Ulve Substantial Aid. The Crater Lake road will be built (jovemment approval of th project naa been secured by Will Q. Steel, recognition appropriation of 15.000 made, Engineer li. t. Haldla sent by the government to Medford, and th promise given that 60 per cent of th work will hav been aceomnlished bv rfuiy i or tnit year. Th Medford Com merclal club't subscript on of 125.000 lor the construction of th road ft well m IT ' under way and ther will be no further delay. Mr. Steel haa just returned from Washington. lis represented the MeoTord Commercial club and Inter vened on it behalf with Secretary of the Interior Bellinger and other gov ernment officials. The government' approval of the Crater Lake road in effect nullifies the decree handed down by the Supreme court last month." taid Mr. 8teeL I found about the halls of th csd- Itol a feeling of resentment thst even so august a body a th Bupreme court should deem the Crater Lak national park a local affair, any mor than that Yellowston national park should be to considered. "Secretary Bellinger asked m how much money w would be wanting from the government for the Crater Lake project 1 told him w would need eventually about 82,000,000, in eluding making of trail and various other improvements. He assured me of his belief that w would get that much, at th aame time stating frank ly that had it not been for the indom itable energy and persistence of the Medford commercial Interest nothing runner would ever hav been done, following the Supreme court a untsv orsbl decree. "I received an official communica tion stating thst the United State fish commission would pi see 60,000 rainbow fry in the Crater lake, to add to the stock of fish already there." Crater lake road, completed, will be 87 miles long. Engineer Heidle will give his time not only to msking a sur vey of all roads now planned, but in making a survey of all road and trails to be constructed at any future time. Klamath Fsllt Depot Finished. Klamath Falls The finishing touch es have been put on the magnlficient dext erected by the Southern company in this city.

When it waa announced that the rail road company had decided to erect in this city a depot that would cost in the neighborhood of 820,000 few peo ple believed that that amount would be invested in the structure. But Instead of a 820,000 structure the company haa given the city one that will coat nearer 840,000, and one that surpasses in elegance anything of Its kind in the west The fact that the Southern Pacific haa seen fit to give Klsmsth FaUs such a fine building is indicative of what that company ex pects this city to be. The depot ia the direct outcome of the petition that was sent to Chief Engineer Hood, ask ing that this city be favored with what the company expected Klamath r alls to be. Model Fsrm in dsckson County. Medford The Oregon Good Rosds association has offered to build a model road one mile long free In Jackson county. The association asks only that the county officials rurnish the labor necessary for the building of the road. Colonel Frank Ray hat offered to give the crushed rock necessary for the building of th road. Th association believe that by building a model road its superiority and advantagea will mak everyone a good roads advocate. Restore Lands to Entry. Washington The Ontario Commer cial club hat wired Senator Bourne to endeavor to Induce Secretary Bellinger to restore to all forms of public entry all land previously withdrawn for the Malhuer irrigation project under me Federal reclamation act Bourn 1 looking Into th matter to aecertaln the facts. Th subject hat been dis cussed many time and th opinion in Malheur county haa been different in the past as to the wisdom of abandon ing the government project entirety. Warship for O. A. R.

The term proposed by the miners for the continuation of work after the expiration of the present agreements at midnight Thursday will admit of no compromise so far aa wages are con cerned. On other questions there ia room for agreement and the general trend of opinion ia that no lengthy sus pension will be the result except in few fields.

Jonathan P. Allds went to his borne in Norwich tonight, s private citixen, branded as a bribe-taker by his former colleagues in the senate, and by his own act no long er a member of that body. Senator Conger, who filed the charges against Allds, stayed here to fight The senate vindicated Conger today when it voted, 40 to 9, that the charge had been sustained by the evidene brought before it Conger enemies admit he is a light er, and the belief is expressed that hs will oppose any attempt to drive him out of office aa vigorously and with aa free an expenditure of money as he at tacked Allds. Before the vote was taken in th senate this morning, Allds resigned his position in that body, thereby releas ing himself from the jurisdiction of that body. The question of what shall be done with Senator Conger, Allds' accuser, still remains to be settled. The resignation of Senator Allds is taken to amount to a tacit acknowl edgment of guilt, since it was an nounced recently that if he resigned ss a member of the state senate, it could be in effect a plea of participation in the bribe-taking of which he waa ac cused by Senator Ben Conger, who himself stated that he had paid bribe money to Allds.
