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. No date for th formal
opening of the building baa been an
nounced and will not be until word la
received from San Francisco.
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.

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

Warship for O. A. R. Encampment.
Washington Senator! Bourne and
Chamberlain have requested the secre
tary of the navy to tend one or two
warship to Astoria for th twenty
ninth nnual encampment of the O. A.
R. of Oregon, June 21 to 84, and hav

Philippine government the prosecution
of the two Japanese alleged to have

cused by Senator Ben Conger, who
himself stated that he had paid bribe
