Judge H. K. Hanna at Jackson
ville Monday in the case of the state
of Oregon vs. W. J. Boosoy, Anna
Boosey and Mnttio Boosey for eon
tempt 6f court, sentenced W. J. Boo
sey to five months in pail nnd $100
fine and fined Anna Boosey nnd Mat
tie Boosoy $100 each.
The Boosoy case is quite 'celcbnil
ed in the litigation of Jackson coun
ty nnd is the result of u protracted
lawsuit over a triangular piece of
ground that Mr. Boosey chums in
cluded in Ins boundaries, nnd that is
not valued at n tenth of the costs of
the litigation. Boosoy lost the case
on appeal to the supremo court, but
refused to keep off the debated
ground in spite of the court's orders,

JUDGE CASEY IS
CERTAIN THAI
STATE WILL
Leading Attorney of State Offers
Suggestions Regarding Ad
vertising of Crater
Lake.
WAS ATTORNEY IN THE
FAMOUS TILLAMOOK CASE
Believes That Supreme Court Will
Uphold Crater Lake Road
Appropriation.
Crater Luke has found another en
thusiastic booster in the person of
Hon. diaries H Carey of Portland,
probubly one of the foremost attor
neys of the state, who recently won
the sweeping victory for Porter
Brothers in tho central Oregon rail
road controversy. Mr. Carey reach
od Medford from Crater Lake Mon
day afternoon in company with J. P.
Porter nnd immediately left for Port-
nnd. '
Judge Carey has closely followed
the Crater Lake road case and is
convinced that the state will win. its
case in the supreme court mid' that
the appropriation will be made. He
wns the attorney for Maxwell in the
case of Maxwell vs. Tillamook, n case
which has been cited at great length
by the attorneys in the Crater Lake
case, nnd his knowledge of condi
tions surrounding that case nnd the
fnet hat he has followed tho case
closely leads him to believe that the
case will be won by the stato and the
appropriation made.
"Crater Lake is a wonderful, won
derful bit of nature," states the
jndgo, "and when I first stood upon
its brink I realized for the first time
that half had not as yet been told
regarding it. It is bound to become
the great scenic attraction of the
wast as soon as it is mode more ac
cessible. I intend to return next yenr
with my family.
"Southern Oregon should take
stops to do more advertising of the
lake in a 'practical manner. At the
oHMiing of Hit season I visited the
Southern Pacific offices in Portland
endeavoring to find how I could get
to the lake, whnt it would cost after
I had left the railrond, where I could
stop nnd sundry other questions of
u like nature. But it proved of no
avail, for there was no'.hing I could
loam regarding it. T then gave up
my trip for this yenson until the
chance presented i'self for mo to visit
the hike with Mr Porter. I shnll cer
tainly roeonimcnl it to my friends.
"Tho registov nt the camp tolls a
peculiar storv. Tho great majority
ein Oregon, whereas the register
of visitors are from places in soutli
slnmld contain the nanies of people
from all parts of the globe. I look
ed buck over it nnd tho number of
visitors from eastern cities are com
paratively few. This should be
changed, mid probably will be in the
I'lnro, us more extensive advertising
is done.
"Some body of men, such ns your
far-famed Commercial club, should
take steps lo issue a small pamphlet
telling of stopping places, of autos
for hire, and in fact nil data that
pertains to tho trip; and the result
should ho of great. value." ,

TO ESTABLISH SEPARATE
TELEGRAPH OFFICE HERE
C. O. Jeffs, assistant superintend
ent of the Western' Union Telegraph
company with headquarters in Seat
tle, spent Monday looking over Med
ford with a view to establishing an
independent office here. The growth
of the business bus made it impera
tive to segregate tho commercial from
the railrond business, and if suitable
quarters can be secured, the seg
regation will probably take place in
the immediate future, nnd an agent
appointed for the city.
"I nni much impressed with Mod

bright future," snid Mr. Jeffs.
