"TRAVEL TO KLAMATH COUNTY
IS NOW MUCH EASIER
o
Klamath Fulls ia now enjoying the
fruits of a war between rival transpor
tation companies.
The new route from that city to Bray,
the terminus of the California North
eastern, has caused the Klamath Lake
railroad to tako steps that will prove
very satisfactory to passengers oing
over that line. The train over the road
will leave Thrall in the evening here
after iiiBti.iu of in the morning The
pasm'iitfci'd will remain at I oKegama
over night, and the following morning
at 0 o'clock they board a stage for
Klamath Falls, arriving there in the
middle of the afternoon.
Manager Abbott makes the trip still
inoro attractive. Ho says anv pausen
ger who fails to inako connection with
Southern Pacific trains at Thrall be
cause of delay on the stage line be
tween Klamath Falls and Pokegama or
by reason of delav on the Klamath Lake
railroad will be boarded at rfhe Thrall
hotel at the expense of the Klamath
Luke railroad.
FRUIT ATTRACTS ATTENTION
TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 11. Ore
gon and Washington apples have been
spreading the reputation of tho Pacific
Northwest in Washington.
First, this fall, came J. N. Teal with
a shipment of choice Spitzenbergs from
Oregon, which were distributed among
newspaper men and others and com
men ted on us tho best applpes ever
brought to this city.
Then Senator Ankeny of Washington
sent to friends hero a largo number of
Yakima Spit.enbergs, and they, too,
were accorded tho praise of being the
' best ever. ' '
Later, Senator liuurne added Spitzen
bergs to the st heme, and scores of

JAPANESE EXCLUSION
MAT YET BE ENACTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., .Tan. 11. The
Japanese question scorns to bo growing
bigger ami more dangerous every day.
It is the prevailing opinion that fail
ure on the part of the United States to
negotiate an ( xclusion tronty with Ja
pan mid the failure of congress to leg
islate upon the matter would start more
trouble.
Presidi nt Roosevelt has held frequent
eon f enures w'th the California and
other Pacific coast delegations, and it
is believed that he will yet arrange a
suitable exclusion treaty with Japan.
The. matter has been left in tho presi
dent's hands for the present.
CIIICAOO, Jan. 11. In an interview
William Jennings Bryan made the de
claration that he is for tho exclusion of
Orientals or Asiatics. He said it is
impossible for them to assimilate with
the Caucasians of tho United States.
Ho says, however, that the Orientals in
the United Slates must be given pro
tection and that their property rights
should be guaranteed. "I will not ven
tuie to say by what means those races
could be excluded," said Prynn. ' But
I will say that any means would be
justified in tho end."
PORTLAND STOCK MARKET
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
PORTLAND, Jan. 11. The improved
tone in the livestock market and the
smallness of arrivals have helped to
boost the values in hogs and cattle. No
arrivals were shown ia either of these
lines, and this left the market firm at
the higher range.
Cattle are firmest with an advance of
25 cents in best stuff; the market for
fancy selections reaching as high as
$1.2"). On account of the increased call,
a like advance was made by values in
the hog market; best stuff being quot
ed at .2.'5 and $.1.50.
