Just a Visit. It Hootua to lio tho impression of u groat many people and some of tho newspapers iu this section of tho country that George Wingfleld in here to investigate and invest in tho Lake county mines. So far an wo know Mr. Wiiigflold has i-ot made any preten tioua at iiivcntigatiug tho tnineH or in vested any money. In fact ho told Tho KMiuiiner that lie did not intend to make any invent Ration. When told that pooplo were curious about his visit hole, ho said: "Well, they must know that every man has a heart. I am Kind to ho iu my old homo and among the people 1 played with when a boy. 1 have had a good time here." It would lie an Injustice to George to question his announced motive for coming to Lake view. He was raised here, has a mother, one muter and a brother here, and many fiieuds. He has not visited Lake view for about four years j ho has pl.uity of money and can nllord to go wherever he wants to and thu Idea that nothing but a business proposition would in duce, a wholu Honied fellow like Goorge to visit his old homo, his relatives and his friends is preposterous. We are not saying that, ho would not con sider a business proposition if a good 0110 howud up, but wo take his word for tho motive for his visit and do not think strange that tho desiru to bo among fiiouds and relatives and look upon tho scenes of his boyhood days is iusitlllciunt to Impel uny man with plenty of moans to lake a trip like he has taken. Ho mado thu ruu ui hero iu two days and will go back iu two. He could do it iu one if he was in it hurry. Ho has spent many dnyd walking about town and Riving hid friends unto rides. Wo believe George Is here because he likes his old ho.no aud friends. STEVE ADAMS. Alleged Partnar In Crime of the "Mur der Machine," Harry Orchard.

I'bll e delphla Bulletin. Klamath Dissatisfied There is considerable wrangling over the Klamath Reclamation project that seems likely yet to result in pplit and curtailment of tli, work contem plated at the beginning. It aeenia that at thn outset tho management was put iu the haudH of au organiza tion of tho landowners called thu Water Users Association. The organ ization was elfected, otllceis elected, some of wbk:h wero to draw large tsnl arioH. and the work of taking what has proven to lie mortagea on the furuiH, proceeded with. Landowners rushed in aud aigued up coutrarts that did not specify any time or price for delivering water. Now tho laud owners are tired of waiting for the government aud cannot gut any satia f action as to when work will com mence ou some parts of the project. It seams that all the efforts have been put forth in the vicinity of Klamath Falls iu order to keep the pay roll there aud center everything at that point, leaving other parts of the pro ject dormant. The farmers abandoned all private irrigation projects and have been paying thiir assessments and waiting for operation, but noth ing is doing, except that the high sal aried ofilcers of the association con tinue to collect their salary aud the farmers coutluue to pay. They have plasters on their laud that stick like mortagages aud the Association seems to bo in debt, aud they are iu a pickle. Tho bonanza bulletin 'says the government has annexed an obli gation that is impossible for the far mers to till aud no work will bo doue till they come to time. The govern ment usks that U5 per ceut of tho laud be tdguod up. Those who have not signed see what u tlx others have got ten themselves iuto by signing thu contracts and they u ont sign up, so there they are. Wo understand that Jack Simmons, a former I'aisely boy, sou of John Simmons of tho Hotel Lukeviow bar, is to bo married at San Mateo about September first. The many friends of Jack will be glad to luain of hid good fortune. LAKE COUNTY AT TRACTING INTEREST. People Coming Here From All Over the Country to Locate. Mi. James llurke, aud Dr. J. L. Holm berg, of Minneapolis, and Dr. C. K. Hweet and wife, of Mlnot, North Dakota, arrived iu L&kevlew last week and are looking over the country with a view to investing money iu some of Iake county' rich lands. Mr. llurke I agent for the Hunter Land Co., of Minneapolis, which Company now own the toad grant laud in this country. Tho other two gentlemen are dentlid. Mr. Sweet's wifo accom panies her husb iiid on a pleasure trip. it I rumored that the dentists are. negotiating for property on the West Side, but the deal not having been closed, nothing authentic has beeu given out for publication. Mr. liuike inform u that the Hun ter Iiid Co. has aeriounly considered the proposition of colonizing their laud in this county but certain obsti cles are in the way, the greateKt being that of the land lying in detached tracts. They have been on the go ever since their arrival here, having visited Warner valley, the Went Side Savings Bank at Klamath. The First Trust aud Savings Hank of Klamath Falls, organized under u State charter, will tie ready for bus iness on or about October I. It will be conducted in connection aith the First National liank, and iu fact be a part of that institution, although transacting it business separate aud apart from the parent institution. The vapitulization will tie 2o0 shares of the par value of 1100 each, aud the incor porators are: U. W. White, J. W. Siemens, George T. Baldwin, George R. Dudley, Goorge l Lindley, W. I. Vawter and K. Douton. The capital stock of the new institution is the same as that of the First National, and each stockholder holds the same number of shares in both institutions.

CHINESE MURDERER UEIIEADEI). V- I .0 W; PHOTO BY L. L. HOPKINS, SHANGHAI. and other sections i-f the county. They aeem to like the looks of the country and will doubtless invest Diony here. We understand that Mr. Burke has form 75 to 100 prospective settlers in terested In this country, that will be here before long. The time has come when Lake coun ty is going to settle up iu spite of all opposition from those whose Id teres ta are best served by non-settlement. The absence of a railroad, no doubt, keeps many people from coming here who would otherwise come, but even the hardships of a 100 mile stage ride do uot keep all of them away. People who are accustomed to riding on rail roads regard a stage i ide as too peril ous to undertake. Yet there are others who are w illing to brave the imaginary hardships and after making the trip find that it is far from being a "perilous ride." Once bere, a glance over the country assures them that they have reached the "garden spot of the world." Settlers Will Oct Lett. Tho Register bere and now makes two predictions with regard to the Southern Pacific land grant in Oregon whereby it is sought to compel the company to dispose of its 3,000,000 acres held under the grant, to settlers at t2.ro per acre. One prediction is that uot a settler who has made a til ing will get the land, and the other is that all the lands of any value held by the company under Ibis grant will be disposed of in one way or another be foie the government takes action iu the matter. About the only purpose served by this agitation will be the be tie (its derived by the state in get ting these three million acres into the bauds of milling companies and spec ulators, with nut even a "look-in" for the ?2.50 settler. Eugene Register. Beef Moving In Klamath. L. Gerber started the first bunch of cattle to the railroad statiou last Sat urday.

Guesting About Colonel Watteraon' Candidate for President. Colonel Henry Watteraon. who got back from a Kuropean trip not long ago, hn been keeping the public guena- Ing aliout the candidate for the Demo cratic presidential nomination be say he hn up hi sleeve. Speculation as to who this candidate may be haa been successfully baffled up to date. The rhetorical power poKecd by "Marae Henry" make him popular as a speak er at the commencement season, and he was called on to deliver the address to the graduate of Indiana university at Bloomlngton, Ind. While waiting to go on the platform to make thla ad dre he gave an Interview to a report- . . , , BKXBT WATTKBSON. er of the Indianapolis Star, describing the picture of his candidate In the fol lowing terms: My candidate doe not live east of the Alleghenle or south of the Potomac. He 1 a young man, but he haa won hi political spurs. He haa demonstrated hi wonderful vote Setting; powers at the polls. He la a man of the people the common people. He 1 lfke Abraham Lincoln, but ha won more honor than Lincoln had up to the time he wa nominated for president. He would be acceptable to every faction In the Democratic party. On publication of this puzzle picture the Star obtained guesses from Demo crats all over the country aud espe cially In the middle west as to the Identity of Colonel Watterson's candi date. Some guessed Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, others Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota and still others Mayor Tom L. Johnson of i Cleveland and ex-Governor David R. Francis of Missouri. Colonel Wntterson, who was sixty seven In February last. Is as vigorous physically and mentally as ever. Ills hair and beard have whitened, but he shows uo trace of baldness. He still holds t3 the little dab of whiskers on his lower lip that has become so fa miliar as a part of his facial appear ance. Though Colonel Watterson serv ed In the Confederate army, he has stood since the civil war for a policy of conciliation between the once war ring sections. Is a strong admirer of the character of Abraham Lincoln and has written a life of the great emanci pator which Is considered one of the best works on the subject. rockefeller's Father In Exile. John D. Rockefellers' father is sup posed to be living, at the age of 91 years, but where, nobody seems to know. It is chargod that Johu D. is keeping bis father iu hiding for per sonal interests. A brother of the richest uiau in the world is quoted as saying: "My father is alive and well. He is dependent upou uo man. He would scorn the proffer of finan cial aid from John D. and would not take it fiom me. He has means of bis owu, ample for his needs. But there is a reason why I cannot at this time tell you where be ia. In a few weekd or months I will be ready to tell a story that will amaze and borify the whole world. The time will soon come when I can safely speak. Then it will not be safe for John I), to ap pear upon the streets of any American city He would be stoned by the people. He is a monster, merciless iu his greed, pitiless in his cold, in human passious. He is not a human being." Best Crops for Years. There is a good crop of grain on the old Sol. Hauiniersley ranch 6 uiilea west of town, where a crop has not been planted for several yeurs, until Mr. Port wood bought the place last fall aud put iu a crop. It is consid ered oue of the dryest ranches iu Lake county, yet there is a good ciop of barley here aud a patch of rye thut stood five feet high before it wad cut a few days ago. Mr. Portwood told the place recently. 'ii ' " ' ' - j'.'-'W'; GENERAL EVENTS OFTHEWOBID.: News Notes Clipped From Our Exchanges. FIASHES OVER THE WIRELESS.
