Everything in PwtilWttf2t joijFront St. Clyde Nlckerson, a ' well known local marine engineer, returned yesterday eve nlng from Klamath lake, where he baa been steamboatlng for the past several months. During the greater part of the time he was operating a couple of small steamers for the Klamath Lake A Nav igation company. - The vessels plied , be tween the towns of Klamath Falls and Keno, a distance of some 60 miles, car rying both freight and passengers. , Mr. Nlckerson will remain in Portland. having accepted a position aa engineer on the steamer Jessie Harklna. which will- be placed la commission between ere and Llnnton, stopping at 8t Johna It will probably be Saturday before the steamer goea out on her new route. At present she is making a few trips for the lone,, which has been taken oft her run temporarily to. be given, some needed re pairs, speaking of the southern Oregon country, Mr. Nlckerson saya: "Things are going to boom down there this summer. That section Is to be tapped or two railroads shortly, and as a ac sequence the country Is going to be fully developed.. Stockralslng Is the principal industry,- nut aa soon as transportation facilities are secured farming will toegln. and new Industries of all kinds will be established. . So far as natural resources are concerned, it Is one of the richest sections in the state. Many investments in land have been made there of late. and it is sars to say that within a year from now-it -will more than double In value. But little government land Is re maining open for settlement and what there Is will soon be filed on. Judging by the great influx of new settlers. "Steamboatlng has been good on the lake so far this season. We had more freight and passengers than we could handle, and to look after the traffic more fully the company haa decided to put on another steamer. Plana for Us construc tion have already been drawn up. It will be built at Portland and shipped down there In knocked-down form. The con tract for building it will soon be let The new craft Is to be 100 feet long and 30 feet across the beam. When the new railroads are In operation they wtll help out the steamboat bualneas considerably. They will undoubtedly be the means of other, boats being placed In commission.
