activity is being witnessed at diffe
rent points in Lakeand Klamath
counties. It has been difficult to as
certain the prices paid for different
deliveries being made, but the
Journal lias been informed that
the purchase prices are some
what in excess of those offered in
Crook county during the past
month. One of the Lake county
paieni in commenting upon the
situation says:
The past week has seen a num
ber of cattle sales, and cattle that
are in prime condition are finding
a ready market. In fact the gener
al feeling in regard to beef cattle iH
much improved, and the present
toneoflhe market indicates that
cattle will find a ready market in
the next few weeks. While the
prices being offered are not as
good as last year's everything
looks more encouraging than it
did a few w;ek.s ago, at which time
it looked as if the cattlemen would
be unable to dispose of their ln-ef
.at any price and would be com
pelled to hold them over. This
would have caused a heavy loss as
a number were not prepared to
feed for the winter.
The record of livestock nio've
m. nt in Lake and Klamath coun
ties follows:
Miller & Lux have shipied 15,
000 head of cattle from Eastern
Oregon points to their ranches in
California where they will be fed
and marketed.
Ixiuis (ierber last week shipped
225 head of beef cattle to the
Sacremento market from Klamath
Falls, and Mitchell Pros., of the
same locality, drove out 350 head.
J. W. Howard has ' started 450
head for the San Francisco market
and later will drive 1000 more to
Klamath Falls where they will be
fed and turned over to the buyers
who haye contracted for them.
Shipments now on the way io
Montague are as follows: Louis
Gerber, 1000 head of mutton sheep;
Chester Avery 375 head of beef
cattle; C. Swanson 400 head of beef
cattle; Morton liros. and several
other small ' cattle owners, 300
head of beef cattle.
No sales of Crook county stock
have been recorded the past week
although there have been several
buyers in the vicinity. Sheriff
Smith said the first of the week he
had a buyer for 100 head of yearl
ing steers if he could get together
that numlr. No price was stat
ed but it is understood to lie up to
the present standard.
ty court last week was the posting
ol a reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction, or lor information
leading to the arrest and convic
tion of a person or persons guilty
of arson.
The court's action is the out
growth of many incendiary fires
which, during the past year or two
have been quite frequent in vari
ous parts of the county. Espeeial-
ly has this underhanded method
of revenge bean used in carrying
out spites against stockmen, and
the result has been a heavy loss of
property. The culprits in eveiy
instance have escaped the hand ol
justice. The court after a dis
cussion of the matter decided that
(or the protection ol tiie stock in
terestn in the county, and to pre
vent so far as possible the escape
of anyone setting fires to property,
that a standing reward, as stated
aliove, should lie offered. Judge
Rigg in commenting upon the
court's act said:
"The reward was offered at the
solicitation ol the tax payerR who
have become thoroughtly aroused
by seveial incendiary tires recently
which have been most destructive.
The county court felt that if a
suitable sum of money could 1
used as an inducement for some
one to turn state's evidence the
the guilty parties would soon be
detected and the community placed
in safer standing. The money lost
in the last tire of this kind was
sufficient to have paid three or
four rewards of the amount offered."

A recent decision'of the depart.
ment of the Interior has given
timber claims to 91 claiaiants who
filed on land last summer in
Klamath couuty, but whose claims
were rejected for reason of conflict
with a forest lieu land selection.
The land in question is situated
in the southern part of the county
and had been covered with scrip,
and sold to a Wisconsin lumber
company. C. II. Ericksou of this
city located parties on the claims
this past summer and upon their
entries being rejwted apealed the
matter to the general land office.
Here the rejection was affirmed,
but upon being apiealed again ,o
the secretary of the Interior the
claims were granted to the appli
cants.
The decision of 'the secretary
was based on the fact that the
scrip used in securing the selection
was devoid of base and consequent
ly ol n i value or weight with the
department, lie consequently al
lowed the claimants the land up
on which they had offered to file
although it had previously passed

Association Considering Advisa
bility of Putting in Gasoline
Engine for Irrigation.
Ever since the deed was record
ed for the eighty acres of land ly
ing east of town which is to bo
converted into a fair grounds, the
Agricultural association lias been
considering the various ways in
which it could irrigate the tract,
and it has now been practically
decided to install a gasoline engine
and pump sufficient water for uo
on the grounds. It is thought
that 150 inches of water will sup
ply the demand and this can be
furnished with a 0 horse-power
pump.
The idea of using the engine was (
brought alout after it was seen
that sufficient water for irrigation
purpoies could not be had from
Crooked river. With the pump
the water supply will he secured
either from a well or by fiuming
into a reservoir.
It is the intention of the associa
tion to sow between fifty and six
ty acres of the grounds in alfalfa.
The sale of the crojis derived will
furnish sufficient revenue to more
than overcome the expense of oper
ating the gasoline engine. Water will
be used only at different periods
during the irrigating season, the
expense attached will be light.
