COPPER
JLAKEVIEW, Or., Njv. 5. Tho
rush for homesteads docs not seem
to bo confined to any pnrticiilnr pitr.t
of this northern country. Sinco tho
nnd opening in Qooso Lnko vnlloy,
tho middle of September, thoro hns
been much interest on tho part of
those seeking homostends.
Just now l-oinir valley, wnien is
only nbout 35 miles from Lnkoviow,
is attracting considerable attention.
This vnlloy lies in Nevada, nbout 12
miles from Surprise vnlloy, and par
allel with that famous vhllo'. It
touches tho south end of Lake county,
Oregon, and is 70 miles long by 20
miles wide. Thero is ono frosh-wator
lake three miles long and two mile3
mido, with an average of 12 feet in
depth.
On tho mountain sides nro many
springs that furnish sufficient water
for irrigating gardens and watoring
stock. Enough juniper can bo found
on tho mountains for fuel and fence
posts. Wells of good wntor arc being
dug at a depth of from 0 to 15 feet.
Tho elevation is 11 feet lowor than
Surpriso vnlloy, and snmplos of veg
etables Hint wore grown thoro this
year compare favorably with Sur
priso valley products. ' Exports esti

Twenty houses have already, been

COLONEL RAY TO IMPROVE
CENTRAL POINT PROPERTY
CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 5. (Spe
cial.) Announcement has boon mado
thnt Colonol F. Ray, owner of tho
Central Point hotel, will soon com
mence a number of improvements
upon tho proporty. At present tho
building is wholly inadequate to ac
commodate tho business, and much
money leaves tho town every month
on no other account thnn Inck of ho
tel accommodations. It is under
stood that nbout ton more rooms will
bo added, converting tho old thenter
and dnnce hall, which is n part of
tho building, into sleeping apart
ments. New porches will bo built
around the building nnd n generally
improved appearanco made.
LAKEV1EW, Or., Nw. 5. Tiio
people of Lnkoviow haw Jong been
looking for some rnilrowl to build
into Lnko county and t.--nucct tho
county scat with tho ontaMo world.
At times during tho past year tho
prospect would be bright and tho peo
plo coincident. Prospects woro novor
so bright as now.
Applications filed in tho United
States land office during the pnst
week show 10 homostends and two
dosort land claims nro sought, nnd
nlso two railroads havo filed appli
cations for rights of way over gov
ernment lnnds. Those aro tho Klam
ath Falls and Alturas apd tho Klam
nth Falls and Natron roads. Tho
former is to connect with a lino to
Lnkoviow. It is no longer n secret
that the J. J. Hill rond has bought
3000 acres adjoining Lnkoviow on the
north.
Tho contract for building tho N.-C.-O.
to tho lowor ojid of Gooso Lnke
vnlloy was lot this week and ropro
sontnlivos of tho road have boon in
Lakoview recently looking over tho
situation. Men who clnim to bo in
a position to know say that tho N.-C.-O.
will push into Lnkoviow next
summer without fail.
CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 5. (Spe
cial.) A erosv of linemen nro on
gagod in running n now wire between
this place nnd Rosebitrg for rnjlrond
business, nnd as soon n it is com
pleted our city will have an improv-'
cd tclophono Forvico along tho rail
road. As the condition stnnds nt
present, it is impossible for tho em
ployes of tho rnilrond hero to phono
farther thnn Grants Pnss, and as a
result it is almost impossiblo to so
enro rmy accurate information re
garding the arrival of trains or othor
business. The company expects ta
run the lino on ns far south as Ash
land, too, giving us communication
with tho south also. It is a curious
fact, in tho fneo of tho volumo of
business thnt would bo done, that
thero is no telegraph offico in the
town. Tho improved sorvicc will bo
hailed with delight by the citizens of
Central Point nnd tho traveling pub
lic in general.

placed on tho mnrkot for salo in five

and T. J. Pcttit of, this city, who will
