the state. It has much in common with northern Califor
nia, which is also neglected, and the two regions, similar in
resources, climate and geography, combined would make
one of the greatest states in the Union.
The commercial interests of Oregon are centered loo
far north, the commercial interests of California too fur
south, to permit the vast territory bet ween being given the
attention it deserves. Oregon is too unprogressif, Cali
fornia too largo, so that neglect is the portion of the rich
est regions of both states.
Combination of both sections and the creation of a new
state, named from sonic common geographic feature, like
"Siskiyou," is the correct solution of .the problem. As
long as we must work out our own history, we should have
the advantage and opportunity that statehood confers.', , .
Hurrah for the new state of Siskiyou or whatever its
name may be.
GOLD HILL BREVITIES.
THE NEW STATE OF SISKIYOU.
Eastern Oregon newspapers are advocating secession
from Oregon and creation of a new 'state by cutting Oregon
in two, with the Cascades as a division line.
Southern Oregon would like to secede also. Like east
ern Oregon, it is sick of .the short-sighted rule and blight
'of the Willamette valley mossback and the Salem hog.
Southern Oregon is tired of being hampered in its ef
forts towards progress and development, of the dictation
of those whose caliber is shown by opposition to higher edu
cation and slaughtering of normals.
Southern Oregon is wearied of the restrictions of an
obsolete constitution that render good xoa&s an impossi
bility and prohibits state-built highways, and of the oppo
sition that defeats every bit of development legislation.
If the Willamette valley wants to stagnate; let it stagnate
by itself.
Southern Oregon is the richest in natural resources of
any section of the state, yet receives no aid from the state
in its development. It has rich mines, immense timber
belts, fine harbors, yet cannot realize upon its assets. Ore
gon money is sent east for investment instead of being
used to open up the state. Although this entire region
pays commercial tribute to Portland, vast areas, like Curry
county, arc left a virgin wilderness. Never a cent from
the capitalists of Portland and Salem and other Willamette
valley towns for this section's development.
Southern Oregon is tired of taxation without represen
tation. It has no representation at the national capital,
and no state institutions, and when an appropriation is
secured to make accessible its great natural wonders like
Crater Lake, and to secure the expenditure of millions by
the federal government in a national park, the aid of the
courts is invoked to block it.
Southern Oregon has little in common with the rest of

TO REMOVE BIG STEAMER
TO THE UPPER LAKE
KLAMATH FA U.S. Or., July '21.-
A move is on foot to reorganize the
company owning the steamer ICIaui
ath. How extensive this reorganisa
tion is going to lo cannot be ascer
tained at this time. There will be
no process of diminution, however,
all f the present stockholders re
taining their interests. In addition,
new blood may enter the company.
One thing that has been decided on
is to have n new management. I'nder
tho plans contemplated the steamer
will be removed from the lower to the
upper lake, where it will be engaged
in handling the Crater I.nke traffic.
It is not expected, however, that this
will be sufficient to keep it busy, and
it will be in the market for any work
that may come its way.
With the removal of the Klainatti
the lower lake is left without means
of transportation outside of the few
launches that ply these waters, ft
practically isolates the fair grounds
and emphasizes the urgent necessity
for tho construction of the boulcvar-1
along the shores of !,nke F.wanua. -
No contract has been entered into
for the transfer of the boat, but it is
understood that negotiations arc un
der way with Air. Henderson, who
has the contract for the transfer of
the big dredger. His company is
amply equipped to do this work, for
it has performed similar tasks man,,
times.
