homesteader. Mr. Harwlg will
return to his dry land farm
shortly to prospect before begin

Mr. Hortwlg did not go Into

up.
"It fsri't merely my own idens that

Mr. Innes said this morning, "but
any suggestion that tho Bend fans

ly limitless, Is possible ho ntates.
He is guarding his secret method
Jealously, but allowed It to leak
out yesterday that ho could lure
50,000 hornopower out of tho alr

Mr, Hartwlg last year endeavored
to organize a corporation with

LAVA LAKE TO
BE RESTOCKED
EASTERN BROOK TROUT OnEY
INSTINCT AND RAPIDLY LEAVE
WATERS WILL BE REPLAC
ED BY CUTTHROAT SPECIES.
Trout In Lava lako are rapidly be
coming extinct and, in order that re
stocking may bo successfully carried
on, tho lako will be closed for fish
ing, beginning August 14, until fur
ther notice. District Qamo Warden
H. McDonald announced this, morn
ing. Cutthroat trou will bo used In
restocking, taking the place of east
ern brook trout, whoso natural pro
pensity to follow the stream's course
has caused them to leave the lako In
largo numbers. Angling Is not re
sponsible for tho virtual extinction
of tho species In Lava lake, Mr. Mc
Donald Is convinced.
Tho upper half of Elk lako Is now
closed for spawning purposes, Mr.
Mc. Donald said, but Link creek, con
necting Blue and Suttlcs lakes, will
be open to fishermen after August
14. It also has bcon closed to allow

cants was available, has resulted in
a largo percentage-of withdrawals
of applications, Mr. Thompson re
ported this morning.
