. H. D. Eisman, better known
among his college friends as
"Schlitz" left colege yesterday
to return to his home at Grants
Pass where he is to become part
owner in the Eisman apple orchard
through the generosity of his father.
The orchard has been frequently
referred to in the Times. It com
prises 35 acres and the net profit
from the crop was $8,000. It is
not only famed on account of its
ability as a dividend producer,
but also for the reason that six
years ago it was seized with a
disease that threatened to destroy
it. At one time Mr. Eisman was
about-to dig up the trees. The
facts were brought to the attention
of Prof. Cordley of OAC who ap
plied remedies and the orchard is
today one ot the best properties in
Oregon. His many friends in col
lege and town regret the departure
of "Schlitz" Eisman who is uni
versally popular.

THE GREAT KLAMATH BASIN
Of Southern Oregon and Northern California '
Is a country of wonderful resources now being rapid
ly developed by the government's irrigation system and by
railroad building. .
The Klamath Reclamation Project, i
Undertaken by the United States involves the cx
penditure of about Five Million Dollars. It comprises two
distinct systems the Lower Project, now building, of which
Klamath Falls is the distributing point, and
The Upper Klamath Project
Of which Bonanza is the Metropolis. The govern
ment has announced that work on the Upper Project will
i begin as soon as possible in the Spring of 1907.
This means that
Bonanza
will grow as Klamath Falls has grown; that a million
dollars paid as wages to government laoorers will be spent
in Bonanza ; that 65,000 acres tributary to Banonza, will be
brought under irrigation and farmed in small holdings.
Bonanza has otner important resources---vast pine

it is possible to remedy it at this

A Southern man tells of a con
versation he overheard between
the cook and the maid, both ne
groes, with reference to a recent
funeral of a member of their race
at which funeral there had been a
profusion of floral tributes. Said
the cook:
Dat's all very well, Mandy; but
when I dies, I don t want no flow
ers on my grave, jes plant a good
water melon vine: an when she
gets ripe, you come dar, an don't
you eat it, but jes bus' . it on the

The OAC basket ball team is ex- '

the concluding game with the
Washington State College at Pull
man last night, and they are still
undefeated. The score in the final
game is, OAC, 30, Washington.
14. The game was sttongly con
tested and was against one of the
best teams in the Northwest and on
their own court. In a game Fri
day night, the Oregon boys beat
the Spokane Athletic Club in a
score of 60 to 30, the story of which
is told below by the Spokesman
Review.
The total number of games play
ed on the tour is nine, an,1 as seen
above, the total points scored by the
Oregon boys is 528 and against
them, 198. Their achievement,
performed on hotel fare, under the
stress of travel, and always 'on
strange courts, gives them a repu
tation never attained by a basket
ball team in the Northwest. The
story of the Spok are game is as
follows:
"An even hundred points were
scored in the basket ball game at
the Spokane Amateur Athletic Club
last night, the Oiegon Agricultural
College last five literally swamping
the S. A. A. C. by the score of 70
ti jO, in two 20-minute halves.
The score is a record at the Ciub
since the game was started.
"It was one of the fastest games
ever played at the Club, but was
characterized by loose passing and
poor guarding, which were un
doubtedly responsible for more than
half the baskets thrown- The vis
itors lived up to the reputation
they bear, that of the two year
champions of the state ot Oregon,
in an impressiye manner, thorough -ly
conclusive to the players cf the
S. A. A. C. and the spectators who
saw the game. Their- work both
as a team and a'squad of brilliant
individual performers, stamps them
as the swiftest basketball team that
has-been seen in the club gymnasium
in the past three years.
"Being the first game for the
Club this season theie was excuse
for their loose work. The guards
left the crack Oregon forwards,
Swann and Reed, with open field
time after time, notwithstanding
the fact that these players wera
unerring as Kentucky rangers in
their shots for the baske. Reed,
gave an exhibition of goal throw
ing that was almost phenomenal.
This yonng man alone scored more
t isn half the points ra'e by 1 is
team throwing no less than 18 goals
from the field, n in the last half.
It he missed any that he tried, it
must have been when some of the
players got in front of the scoter.
"Captain Swann was a lively
little fellow, ard his dashing pass
ing made Reed's open chances more
possible. Foster nearly six acd
a half feet tall got the ball away
from the club centers every time."
