of $20 each, by K. K. Anderson. C. It.
Hosley, 0. V. Burroii, Deoi-go W. Owen
and I. N. Shook of Ashland. The oh
joqis of the corporation are to develop
anjj furnish light and power to Jack
son, county consumers,
The incorporator own over three-
quarters of u mile, of Ashland ereek,
imemdiately above the intake of the
lower water system, and ' cd iiwiiltmt
witli such owuership have the riparian
right to use all the water of the creek.
provided it is returned to tlm channel
above the city water works. Thev also
own the Anderson ditch and water
right, Ihunti giving them absolute con
trol of the water, subject only to what
rights the city has for the lower intake
of Vhe water system.
The amount of water available with
the fall obtainable on the property will
generate sufficient power to furnish the
tity of Ashland with all the light used
by tho municipality for street lighting
and for individual use at the lowest
stage of water, and for nine or ten
months in the year furnish hundreds
of hortfe power besides.
The estimated cost of installing the
plant and wiring the town is from $50,
000 to $75,000, owing to whether the
pole or coudutt system is used, and the
eapital stock of the eoiupaitv is fixed
at $100,000.
The articles of incorporation are
broard enough so that a local street ear
line may bo established, should the
stockholders think best, at any time in
tho future.
BUTTE FALLS ITEMS.
Frank Lewis aud family of Kagle
Point are visiting Mrs. Anna Hccka
thorn, and while here will endeavor to
sell some of the property belonging
to. the estate.
J. H. Miller had a narrow escape late
y from serious injury. They were
standing on the banks of Big Hulte
fishing aud without warning a large
fir tree fell and struck within a few
foot of them, scattering dirt, limbs and
boughs over and near them and strik
ing the ground with a thud that made
the earth tremble. It was a very nar
row call.
William Uurieh of Kagle Point is
making a visit to the Falls.
The new schoolhouse is under con
structiou aitd supplies of lime, cement
ana other necessary materials are ar
riving daily from Medford.
Attorney Pentz is in his office at
the Falls looking after matters of busi 1
ness for our townsmen.
There was an enthusiastic meeting
of the Conrmereial club held Tuesday
night, at which the question of a per
niauent supply of water for the town
was considered ami a committee ap
point ed on survey and right of way.
Butte Falls hae a splendid source, from
which to provide abundant pun spring
water, and it was deemed of vital im
portunce that immediate steps be taken
to secure this water, and the committee
will at once arrange mutters. Tlie in
corporation of the town, the building
and repair of roads and many other
questions weru considered aud acted
upon, after which a musical and literary
entertainment was given by Misses Ma
honey, Milter and Uuprev and an ex
cellent paper rend by Mr. Baker.
A party from Ashland aud Phoenix.
chaperoned by Mr. Roldey, drove into
town Tuesday and remained over night
and the next morning left for the hills.
Much satisfaction is expressed that
the parties who have been writing let
ters to the land department against the
homesteaders have been turned down
und their reports fouud malicious. It
has done much to soften the feelings
of these worthy homesteaders, and i
Uncle Kam will find that a kindly con
sideration of the homesteaders will tend
to a more friendly relation towards the
government.
Messrs. UeorgH und Jeffries who have
with their families been visiting in the
valley, have returned to their home
steads.

I WOULD IRRIGATE BUTTE
VALLEY BY WELL SYSTEM
u,ntjT ''-. July Id Coloud Wil
liam H. Aolabird, who was a visitor
here a few days ago, while ea route
fo Pelicau Bay, spoke enthusiastically
nr tne possibilities of the soil aud cli
mate of the whole of Butte Creek val
ley, for which large territory Dorris
is the natural business and shipping cen
ter, t'olouel Holabird has carefully stud
ied the conditions here and in the
Klamath project district aud speaks
from the standpoint of one who knows.
One of his suggest ions is that the land
owners should get together and ' sink
wells aud establish a system of pump
ing plants to supply water for irriga
Hon purpases in Hutu- Valley, power
for which (mmping plants ina be so
cured shortly from the uew electric
plant at .knny eroek if wanted. .
Water is to be fouud withiu a very
few feet of the surface of the grouud
anywhere in the valley, aud in unlim
ited quantity, so that every acre of
land in the valley ran easily be brought
under, irrigation. With water to use
when needed, there is no eud to the
variety and-qnantity of crops that can
be produced here.
RUSH ROAD BUILDING
FOB HARRIMA-N'S BENEFIT
Dorris is soon to lose the distiuctioii
of being the termiuu. of the California
Northeastern. Laying of steel across
the hill from Onrris has already start
ed aud withiu a few days the line will
be completed to Cnlor and it is thought
that by the end of this month the ter
minus of the road will be at Worden,
which is but a short distance from the
edge of the marsh. The grade across
the tunnel hill has been completed and
the steel gang is alreadv past the ton
of the hill where the deep cut was
made, says tho Klamath Falls Herald.
It is understood that the Harrimau
party will arrive here about the first
of August, and the extension of the
road is made at this time no that the
party will avoid as much of the stage
ride us possible. As soon us the road
is built to Worden those, who claim
lo know stale that a temporary ter
minus will he established at that place
until the road can be completed to the
navigable water. - '

RUSSIAN SPIES
IN AMERICA
Czar Plans a Systematic
Campaln of Misrepre
sentation in America
-NFW YORK, July Hi. Forty two
Russian secret servii-e agents are on
their way to Ajuorica today, where they
will spend several mouths in a campaign
of misrepresent at ioa of conditions in
the czar's domaius, according to infor
mation received by Dr. Paul Kapluu,
chairman of the Pusslau revolutionists
u Xew York.
Among the spies sent to the United
States are 'JO brilliant orators, who will
deliver courses of lectures calculated
to deceive the American people into
believing conditions in Russia much bet
ter than they actually are. Forces have
also been sent to the principal countries
of Europe, where similar steps will be
tukea.
Knowledge of the movements of ,Rus
siau secret agents reached tho revolu
jionists society here through the ehief
of the Russian bureau who recent
Iv deserted the service of the czar aud
joined the rebels. .When he abandoned
his important post at Si. Petersburg he
took all his books and records with him
and placed I hem in the hands of his
new friends. These will prove invalua
hie to the rebels, as they contain des
criptions of every member of the Rus
sian secret police.
The ollicial who deserted (he ezar
for the rebels knows nverv member of
the secret police, having hired each one
personally. While his identity is con-
ealed by Or. Kaplan, it is understood
that his uame is known throughout the
world.
KLAMATH FALLS BREWER
SUING FOR A DIVORCE
Asserting that his modesty was shock
d bv the pictures that his wife exhib
ited to him, showing her in scant attire,
Autoiie Cast el. a brewery man of Klam-
ith Falls, is fighting his wife's suit
for divorce in the Multnomah circuit
ourt. The pure art in the pictures
ippnreutlv failed to impress him so
much as the fact that masculine forms
were also visible in the pictures.
Castel also alleges that his wife has
for several years been troubled with a
great unrest that has caused her to
travel from city to city at his expense,
leaving him isolated and nun tin lit
Klamath Falls. He savs I hat anions
titer iibifeti uhe Ihir visit eil are San

ind Sacramento, enjoying herself on his
money, hinee rVhruary, ..hi,, ne says,
ho has paid her $x(is for expenses mid
she has turned part of this money into
a fund to secure a divorce, thus de
ceoiviug him.
Castel declares t hat. he is 1 he one
who has been deserted and has most
suffered. In numerous pages of tvpe
writing he denies that his wife's sen si
live nature has been injured by his
treatment, that he would not let her go
out evenings for social enjoyment, or
that he commanded her to go to a place
that is traditionally warm when she
came homo after being in the hospital
with appendicitis. He also denies that
lie ever told her fliat he wanted to
marry another.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Castel was
Alfie Fugle. She married Casio at
Kliitnath Palls in 1H0-I, and they have
one child. I he wite asserts that ( as
te is the owner of a brewery ami worth
KM!iiM, but he denies this, saying that
ihe brewerv has suspended and he has
no income. He admits that he owns rral
(state at Klamath Falls, but pleads that
the court here has no jurisdiction over
it. His wife asks for $'J."ii to puv her
attorneys and $75 per mouth alimony.
Castel asks the court to graut him a
divorce on the ground of dmertion aud
cruet treatment. Besides pictures, and
pleasure trips, Castel complains of Jet
tern written to "other lovers."
