"It might alio le aaid that Lake view will within a few years have a population of 10,000 people."

Ou the first door are offices for the clerk, sheriff, county judge, assessor and treasurer and abstract company. There is a vault in the cleik's and one in the treaxurr's office. On tbe second floor will be located the court room, jury rooms, circuit judge's chambers, and school superintendent's office. On the third floor are seven rooms .ppuing into a large rotunda aud these rooms will be lined as a county hospital.

BUILDS WIRELESS SYSTEM IN FOREST Supervisor C. R. Seitz Oper ates Line in Cascades May Oust Phones J. F. Suyder, of Willow Ranch, Calif, but formerly of the "West Bide" this coi nty, was ia town Fri day renewing old acquaintanceship. While here be called on the Lxam iner, and we found biro a very inter esting talker, aud one wbo from hia long leaidente in Uoose Lake valley, some '20 yeait, is well pouted. lie says that this year is the poorest for all sorts of cropstbat be ever experi enced. Mr. Snyder has followed threshing public grain iu ibis valley for a number of piling I year,. During that time tb grain of the: crop has run alJ tbe way from 90,000 up to l'JO.000 bushels. This year it will not exceed 30 000 busbels, or about one third tbe usual crop. His machine threshed 21,000 busbei this year. A neighboring machine threshed about 13,000; wbbe still another ma chine tbresbed out about 2,000 bush el on tbe West Side. About 8, 000 1 bushels of tbe crop was n'eat, and the rest barley, lie thinks there is not Dear enough wheat grown to meet tbe demand, especially so since tbe new mill in Lakeview is ready for busi ness In view of tbe fact that tbe demand is greater than tbe supply, aad because of the expected heavy! immigration to these parts soon, be ia of the oniiiinn that a lri?er HrrAma 1 , n n of bread stuffs be sown- next spring. He believes fall wheat will do well, though modt cf tbe wheat grown is of spriug varieties. In addition to bis grain crops, Mr, Suydei produces immense crops of garden vegetables of all kinds, of a superior quality, and this year pro duced a particulaly big crop of beans aud corn. He alio bas a flue lot of apples, and raised a ot of berries. He is a firm believer iu this couutry being able to produce a superior apple, and is sat isfied so soon as the railroads, now asbtired. reach be re, apples of the best quality will be grown in this valley on a commercial scald. He believe the time iscomiugwben the lioldeu Coosu Lake Valley will stud out to tbe markets of the world au apple that will have as distinctive an individuality as those now grown in Hood River, Rogue Rivet or Va kama valleys. Knowing all this fiom au actual ex perience bis opinion should bave weight with those thiukiug of locating iu this favored land.

Ible, for the renaoii that there waa no one to ojieii them up. A remark able piece of road work baa iustbeen completed in the Fremont National foreat. Eighteen miles of road have been constructed on an air line be tween 1-akeview and fcican. Thla makes a Having of 2S hours to the traveller tietween the two polnta. liv the old trails it required two and three fourths days to make the trip which Is now accomplished in 12 hours. Sicnn is the outfitting and supply point for stockmen and raiichera of the Lakeview district. Fortst Supervisor Guy M. Ingram constructed this road on a 12 per cent grade. Forty per cent of the distance U cut through aolid rock, aud for a numtier of miles It cost about 1 1000 a mile. The suspension bridge oTer the Rogue River at (irants Pass will be shortly completed, and will supply the connecting link between two trails that are in great demand by settlers It is being constructed of steel wire cables, with cement abut ments, and is 12 feet wide. In 1U09 tike elgbt-foot trails will be widened to permit wagou travel. WORTHY MENTION OF WORTHY MAN The Oregon mil IVints His Portrait and Gives Him a Write-up be iniido within the next two weeks.

Our new principal of school re ceived the worlity compliment of hav ing bis portrait iu t lie issue of tho Oregon iau of lltli iust , and the following speciul from Jacksonville, to that paper: Professor A. J. Hanby, principal of the Ceutral Point Public, aud High school in Jackson county, has brought to a close ins seveu years work at that place aud will have charge of the Lake view schools tho coming year. Prof essor Jiiinby was gradutaed from the Monmouth Normal iu 11)8 aud bus taught continuously Biuco that time. Under hia management (he Central Point school grew from an eighth grade school with three rooms to a 12-grude school with six teachers, lie bus sent out a number of teachers from the rank of the Central Poiut High School. Central Poiut now ha a large modern hriok school build lug. Forest Supervisor C. R. Seltz, of the Cascade National forest, witli headquarters at Eugene, lias con structed and successfully operated a system of wireless station . This lu geiilous son of Oregon has erected three stations, covering It i miles, and has transmit ted messages perfectly. The system Is his owu invention and will la' thoroughly tried out tH'fore he recommends it for general adop tlon. Ml. Seitz has also perfected a machine willed will record messages received at his station In his absence and which operates on the principle of a stock "ticker." Iu past years the Forest Service has erected many telephone lines for use during h re seasons, but the ex priise of maintaining them in ser viceable condition has la-en enor mous. High winds and running tires would canst trees to fall upon them, which combined with other causes result In the phones lioiug useless a great portion of the time. This condition led to the wireless experiment. MORE TALK OF MONEY IN HOPS Fed on Skim Milk, and Cost Practieally Nothing to Raise Them.
