Thruston's threshing engine was brought up from down the valley Monday to furnish power. It was expected to have the plant ready for operation by Tuesday, but a piece of the machinery was missing, which caused an indelinate delay. The missing part was wired for and no doubt will be forwarded at the earl- pa tc in the bond Issue.

Mr. Larimeaud Mr. lleudrlx are al so here from Keno representing Klau nlga.i A Dunn of Keno. They too want to buy heavily. Mr. Kitchen, the Wyoming nheep buyer who was !n Lakeview a few weeks ago return ed from Kleins Mountain first of the week, where he went to look for sheep, but stated that the sheep out there were poor ami weabby, no he did not buy any there. He wants anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000" year ling ewe. Uuyeru complain that Lake eouuty Hheopmeu are holding too high. They admit that the sheep aro fut aud large, but they cauuot afford to pay the price. No sale have been made yet. The Development League. At the hiBt meeting of Hie Luke county Development League a committee waa appointed to ascertain the amount of land Huueeptible of irrigation on tile Meat .Vide, or al leant that which could be irrigated by the waters of Cottonwood and Thomas creeks. Dr. 1$. Daly, Daniel Boone and J. N. H'ataon were appointed on this committee. They have filed their report with the secre tary of the League. There was also a committee appointed to go over on the ll'est Hide and get together all of the farmers who were intereuted iu the ir rigation of their lands and organize a branch league and make application to the government to irrigate those lands. Also the League requested branch leagues to be organized, one at Paisley and one at Silver Lake. It is only ft little more than a week now till the regular meeting night of the League, and there will be crowded Into that meeting so much regular busi ness that little time can be devoted to special work. A upecUl moetinjj might be called, however, and a great deal of the work, such aa committee reports, etc., disposed ot wimoui lnienenug J. J. Monroe Sells Store. Mr. J. J. Monroe, who for the past ten years has conducted a merchan dise business at Add, In Warner, last week sold out his business to two gentlemen of Antelope, in Crook county, by the name of C. F. Powne and K. A. Friday. These gentlmeu were in Lakeview last week, and we understand they will put in a f 10,600 stock of general merchandise. The new firm takes possession June lirst. They ought, und no uoubt will, do a good business, as they have a good field to work in. $150,000 Between Them. The board of government engineers and the owners of the Klamath can al had a meeting at Klamath Falls last week and tried to come to terms on the sale of the canal to the gov ernment. The canal people held out 1 for $250,000 while the governments best offer was $100,000. The Canal Co. were restrained from diverting water from the lake, aud the owners aver they will go into the the courts with their case and will fight hard for their rights. It is believed that the Western Pacirlc will open up a portion of the now isolated territory, comprising part of Nevuda, Northern California and Southeastern Oregon, to the world. There are millions of acres of good agricultural lands in these three states that is absolutely cutoff from railroad transportation that have heretofore been exclusively de voted to stockraising, Ifut with transportation facilities would form an important part of the fertile Northwest. The route taken by this road ! through Northern California and I Southeastern Nevada, almost 11 Jsurcs the tapping of Southeast ' ern Oregon. It is understood that the U'estern Pacific will take up the N-C-O road, and iu the event such a merger Is effected, the promoters of the new line could hardly overlook the importance of the rich territory which formed the future of the N-C-O. The late pre diction that the latter road would extend from its present terminus, at Madeline, north through Modoc county. California, through Lake county, Oregon and Harney county, Oregon, thence in an easterly direc tion, affords grounds for the belief that the road will be made a part of the Western Pacitic system. Assessor Gets Salary. A law passed at the legislature at its last session gives the assessor a salary of fd,000, instead of the old law under which they were paid by the day. Formerly the assessor re ceived for his services about $800 a year, thus he is benefitted about f 1200 by the new law. This year, being a year to take census, he will have considerable more work to perform, as the duty is bis to take the census. All Oregon butter made and sold la the state after May 18th, must bear a mark designating It as Ore gon butter. This Is according to the with the regular work on the regular ! law passed at the last legislature meeting night. This is only a sugges- I Ashland Tidings. rirs. H. Baines Dead. The many friends of Mrs. II. Larnes, formerly of New Fine Creek, were shocked to learn of her death in San Francisco on the 17th of tills month. Mr. Karnes went to Cal ifornia last Fall for the benefit of his wife's health. They lived at Point Richmond all winter and, we understand, a few weeks ago Mrs. ISarn.'s was taken to a hospital In San Francisco for treatment, and died there. Mrs. Barnes was the daughter ot Mr. Pleasants of Willow Ranch, aud a step-sister of Mrs. J. J. Monroe, of Adel. She lias resided in this coun try nearly all her life, and was loved by all who knew her. A husband and two small children are left to mourn the loss of a wife and mother, und a host of acquaintances who are saddened at the taking away so early In life of a true friend. The remains of Mrs. Pearl Uarnes were brought to Willow Ranch for in terment, and were laid to rest last Sunday. Rev. II. Smith preached the funeral at Bethel Church. Several members of the D. of II. Lodge of Lakeview, of which order Mrs. Barnes was a member, attend ed the funeral. f
