1MK) feet long, -1- feet wide and N feet
deep, leading from tht river to the
point of a hill where will lie placed
the pumping plant. On the hill at
an elevation of 'Vi feet will be con
structed two ditches, one leading to
the east and the other to tho west.
Nine miles of ditch will lie required
to convey water to all parts of Mr.
llowne b ranch, comprising some
thing like 2.400 acres. Laterals will
lie run to the town of Bonanza for
Irrigation purposes and that town,
now high and dry, will in tho sum
mer time be made beautiful by shade
tree, lawn aud flower, and the re
claimed adjacent lands will add
wealth to the place. Mr. Bow no Is
confident of the success of his enter
prise, aud probably as early as next
season will install nuother pump
which will increase the water supply
for his ranch to 1000 Inches. Much
Interest In the undertaking Is manifest
by holders of dry lands throughout
the county. Its success means the
putting In of other pumping systems
hero where Irrigation is possible In
no other way.

Election Tuesday fol City Officers
Passed off Quietly Two Tick
ets Were in the Field.
Tlie election for city officers Tues
day, was not such a tame affair as
had Is'en exHt'ted, yet there was no
excitement, and the day passed off
quietly with two tickets In the field,
Instead of one, as had been expected.
It was uot expected that more than
50 votes would lie cast with the one
ticket in the field, but when the
other ticket came out, more interest
was manifest aud the vote was run
up to 136. The ticket as published
last meek was elected. The other
ticket contained the names of 8. B.
Chandler and S. F. Ablstrom in place
of the names of Harry Bailey and A.
Y. Beach. The vote stood as fol

and would more than gladly have

Cattle Buyer At Pelican Bay.
A well accredited story comes from
Pelican Bay that an old man past SO
years of age apiearedln that locality
a few weeks ago, ostensibly from the
Prlneville country, and for the pur
pose of buying cattle. He engaged
Hansen's cattle, a bunch of about
150 head, and hired Jesse Coxto drive
them to Grass Valley where he pro
posed to winter them. Hansen decid
ed he could make a good thing and
he bought some cattle of Brown, so
as to speculate a little In the trade
with the old cattle buyer. The latter
let it be understood that he had a
ranch at the head of the McKenzio
River, one near Prlneville and anoth
er In Grass Valley.
A few days ago, his business requir
ed that he should go to Klamath
Falls at once. He desired a tempor
ary loan for his Immediate accommo
dation. Hansen gave him 50, Cox
gave him another $ 20 and It is said
he was generously supplied with
some money by others. Cox was to
meet him In Klamath Falls; he was
there at the appointed time, but the
old man was not there and nothing
has been heard as to his whereabouts
since, though Cox has been in eager
search of him, the promised job, and
the $20 he loaued, since.
He went to a sheep much near
Keno. He was told the old man had
a bag of gold coin and a big check
book.
Hansen has his cattle on his bauds
on which the old man paid nothiug
aud ho has also tho GO head ho got of
Browu to feed through tho wlute.
They are mystified as to the disap
pearance of the old man.
It Is explained that he learned in
Klamath Falls ho could buy cattle
cheaper near Trluevlllo than there.
