Krady, the Train Robber.
Meager reports have been received of
an attempt to capture Brady, the S. P.
train robber who escaped from the bold
up in which his partuer in crime and
Sheriff Bogard were killed. A fight is
reported to have occurred between Brady
aud the officers iu Tehama county yes­
terday, Brady being badly wounded but
escaping in the brush.
Express Withdrawn Again.
The late frequent recurrence of stage
robberies on the route from Ager to
Klamath Falls has resulted in Wells,
Fargo A Co. again withdrawing from bus­
iness over that line and the closing of the
express office nt Klamath Falls, the only
one in that country for some time. The
express company withdrew from business
over a number of stage Hues in northern
California aud ¡Southern Oregon a couple
of years ago, but to accommodate the
Klamath county people who have no
bank, reestablished their service from
Ager to Klamath Falls.
Clear the Infested Orchards.
Levi Morris, horticultural commissioner
for this district, comprising Jackson, Jo­
sephine, Klamath, Lake, Douglas, Coos
aud Cuiry counties, who was in Ashland
yesterday, is iucliued to lie a little wrathy
at some of the owners of fruit trees who
refuse to heed his general notice that all
orchards infected with scale, etc., must
lie sprayed. Mr. Morris thinks that Ash­
land fruit growers, with 2000 acres of
trees at slake, ought to lie particularly
interested in seeing the provisions of the
new law enforced to the letter, and he
cannot understand why spraying is neg-
,ected in a few instances here about Ash­
land, as he is satisfied it is. Mr. Morris
has a large district to cover and he can
not expect to make a personal examiua-
tion of every fruit tree or even every or­
chard, especially when the funds at
the disposal of the board are as limited
as they are. Mauy are uuder the impres­
sion that the horticultural commissioners
on their trips carry au ax along with
which to cut down all infected trees, but
such is a mistake, Mr. Morris says. The
board’s mission is one of education as
far as possible and it is assisted by the
recent uew law passed to impress lessons
learned through experience to be useful
to the perpetuation of the gieat fruit
industry.
The commissioner wishes it understood,
he says, that the law will be enforced,
though he does not want to impose a
hardship upou any one unnecessarily.
The law is plain and if owners of fruit
trees do not comply with it, h is.d u ties
are plain in the case.
Mr. Morris says that during the ship­
ping season he is goiug to station an in­
spector at Ashland, who will make an
examination of all fruit offered for ship­
ment, and large or small orchards discov­
ered to be infected will be quarantined,
which will entail au expense of 82 per
day upon the owner for the pay of a
keeper.
Mr. Morris says that now is the proper
time to spray apple trees for the scale,
and he hopes that those who have not
already attended to it will do so and save
further trouble. Copies of the rules and
regulations and the horticultural law can
lie obtaiued upon application. These in­
clude the recipes for sprays and washes
for all the diseases aud infections of leaf,
limb, aud fruit.

Ashland, leaving Klamath Falls at 7 a. m.
and reaching here early iu the evening,
making two or three brief stops en route.
The result of their visit to Klamath is
best told in the following report from the
Klamath Falls Express of today of a
mass meeting held there Monday evening.
Under the heading, “Southern Oregon
Wagou Road; Our People are in Earnest
and W ill Join the March of Progress,”
the Express says:
Hand bills reading as follows were dis­
tributed Monday afternoon:
-
Mass meeting! All persons interested
in the welfare and progress of Klamath
county are requested to meet at the court
bouse tonight at 8 p. m. sharp, to discuss
the advisability of improving the South­
ern Oregon Wagon Road between Klam­
ath Falls and Ashland.
Shortly after the appointed time a rep­
resentative meeting was called to order
m the court bouse by V. A. Dunlap, who
nominated J. D. Fountain chairman.
The nomination being approved Mr.
Fountain took the chair and J. G. Pierce
was chosen secretary. Mr. Eggleston,
the chairman of the Ashland committee,
which composed in addition G. M. Grain­
ger, Robt. Garrett and Jesse McCall, ad­
dressed the meeting and outlined the ad­
vantages of the proposed improvements
of the Southern Oregon Wagon Road in
a very lucid manner which met with the
closest attention of all present. He as­
sured the people that the Ashland com­
mittee were in communication with Wells,
Fargo Co. and that in event of a stage
line running between Klamath Falls and
Ashland, an express route would be es­
tablished. He further said that they
were chosen by the city of Ashland to
confer with the people of this town with
a view of establishing a good road, and a
stage, mail and express route, and to re­
quest the people here to give what aid
morally and in labor and money they
could. Ashland will contribute 82000
and Portland and vicinity at least as
much more, with g<x>d assurances of aid
from San Francisco.
J. W. Hamakar and O. C. Applegate
next addressed the meeting and took a
strong stand in favor of the proposed im­
provements.
In response to a motion made and ap­
proved, the chairman appointed J. W.
Hamakar, V. A. Dunlap aud G. J. Farns­
worth to select a committee to act in con­
junction with the Ashlaud committee iu
laying out a route.
Upon an approved motion, a finance
committee was then appointee! to solicit
subscriptions iu cash aud work to aid iu
carrying ou the work. Dr. J. A. Larra­
bee, W. F. Arant, W. B. Grubb, O. C.
Applegate, J. L. Hanks aud G. H. Harsli-
barger were appointed.
Robert Garrett addressed the meeting
aud gave some valuable information about
route, methods of improving and keepiug
road in good condition.
Mr. Grainger in a short speech stated
the Ashlaud people expected to put most
of the money ou this end of the road as
they realized it was most needed here.
Meeting then adjourned subject to call of
chairman.
We have latent wealth enough in the
fertile valleys and on the wooded moun­
tain sides of Klamath oouuty to purchase
all the possessions of Aladdin’s wonder­
ful cavern, or the magnificence of the
court of Solomon. Shall we wait in idle­
ness for the world to open up our avenues
of commerce, or shall we contribute our
mite to the aid the outside world has al­
ready offered?
A little from every man will amply suf­
fice. When the oommittee ask you to

be it much or little, and if all do their
duty, the road will be an assured fact aud
