OREGON TRUNK
BLOCKS HARRMAN
It now appears tbat the fly iu the
oiutmeut, so far as concerns Harri
mau 's proposed entry into Central
Oregou by way of the Des Cbutes
Cauyou is the Oregouo Trunk Liue.
It has beeu learned that President
Nelson, of tbe Oregou Trunk, who
paid Lakeview a vist last fall, has
secured the approval of the Interior
Department for all his surveys up the
cauyou.
Tbe Department has now given Mr.
Nelson uotlce that he must show the
government he means busuess wthin
the next U0 days, or the' approval of
the surveys will be withdrawn iu
favor of Harrimaa's surveys.
The latter ot course, expects he tas
got Mr. Nelson in a bad corner, but
it is pretty broadly intimated that
Mr. J. J. Hill, uot entirely unkuown
to railroad fame, and that, too, for
some years before llarri nan the Oreat
came out of his shell. If so, there
may be breakers ahead for Harrimau,
which will give ail ceutral Oregoniau
cause for joubilatlon.
It is knowu that some one pretty
close to Mr. Nelsou has purchased a
section of laud close to Laaeview, aud
putting this aud that together one
cau draw their owu conclusions.
lu discussing the matter the Ore
goniau of tbe 11th says:
The Oregou Trunk crowd has been
lyiug extremely low siuos It secured
approval of its maps for the entire
project, no statement as to what its
f laus are having come from auv one

Successor Required to Be

Washington, May 1. -When Senator
Bourne returns to Washington early
next week, from New Bedford, Mass.,
he will take up the matter' of the
nppolutmeut of a successor to J. N.
Watson, who has resigued the
registership of the Lakeview laud
ottioe. No lutimatiou is given as to
who wld be rejommeuded beyond the
statement that tbe department re
quires all registers to have a knowledge
of law, If they are uot praoticiug
attorneys. The department has not
received Watou'a letter of resigna
tion giviag bis reasons for giving up
bis uiiloe. '

PORTLAND
L00.W US OVER
Want the Trade of This
Section and Make
Fair Promises
Sine- the merchants of Sau Fran
cisco and Sacramento propose making
a right to retain the trade of this sec
lioo, Portland also begins to thaw
a little frrm its ultra conservation,
and exhibits a gleam of interest in
(he fact that there may be something
dow n here worth at least a little effort
to obtuin : that is, if platitudes about
"state pride, " and "patronize your
own state wholesalers. " aud tbe like
can be said to constitute anything
that suiecks of effort to obtain tbe
prize.
During several days nf tbe past
week, C. H. Willison of Portland, to
whom should be given tbe credit of
dicsovering for Portland tbat there is
such a place as Lakeview, and Frsnk
K. Kerr, of the wholesale grocery
firm of Wad bam & Kerr Bros., were
iu Lakeview interviewing the busi
ness men and endeavoring to extract
from them a promise to turn their
trade to PcrtlauJ. What degree of
success met their efforts is not
known to the Eximiner.
These gentlemen informed us that
if our niorcbauts will agree to deal in
Portland that they are willing to help
us i ecu re a direct railroad line to
that city. I' the road is ever iu
operation, whether it be a pssolen
motor, or tlectric line, there is no
doubt but that the bulk of our trade
will go to tbat city Bat, as it is
now with established connection to
t he south, aud with uo extra induce-
j incuts for the change, it is not likely
I anything will be done iu the matter,
i other than to chaoue tbe freight route
(from Alturas to Kamath Falls, which
is now assured.
The gentlemen, however, assured
The F.xaii.iiier that railroad rates
from Puttlund were to be made less
thau from California poiuts, and tbat
they would also sell goods to meet
this competition. Tbey were very
f iucere in their talk, and probably on
their return to Portland will take
active steps to let other busineess
men know of what they are losing by
not having direct rail communication
with Lakeview.
If their agitation results lu estab
lishing better trade relations between
Lakeview aud Portland, well and
good. Put, if not why ibe way to
the South is still open to us and
with better roads to Klamath Falls,
it may be a hard mat'er to break off
trade relations maintained for years
to enter a new and uutried field.
At any rate the matter will have to
be thieshed out, principally between
tbe business men of that city aud of
Saciameuto, aud tbe oue that gives
tho bet deal will become the favored
oue.
PEOPLE
DY
E. W. Clapp, District Freight aud
Passenger Agent, of tbe S. P. at Keuo,
has wriUeu a letter to the Lakeview
Board or Trade stating that judging
from bis eastern correspondents be
feels confident that between 5000 aud
0000 people will pass through Reno
headed fur Lakeview from now to
Sept. 9th, the date set for tbe opeu
lug of the Oregou Valley lands. Mr.
Clapp also states that he is makiug a
streuuoua effort to get all passengers
going to the Seattle Exposition stop
over privileges at Keuo, so that they
can have the opoportunity of making
a side trip to Lakeview, and see what
we bare up here in way of homes aud
openiugs for business.

WYANDOTTE INDI
AN LANDS TO
BES01DAT
AUCTION
Senator Chamberlain is
After the Indian Bu
reau For its Dark
Lantern Methods
The Wayndotte Indian landu In this
aud Lake counties will probablv be
sold to tbe highest bidder this sum
mer. Most of these lands are located
between Summer Lake and Lakeview,
and It is said that there are 8"iue in
the Bly country and in tbe northern
part of tbe county. Abel Ady and
Cbas,. Mc Cumber placed most of the
Wyandotte script in Klamath cmioty.
A report fars that Senator Chamber
lain believes now tbat the Indian
Bureau will ad vert iee for tbe purchase
of these lands in Southern Oregon,
which, for bis intervention, would
have sold to Antone Knckuk, of She
wano, Wiscousin, for 16.50 aa acre at
private sale.
A short time ago tbe Senator learn
ed that tbe Indian officer bad partly
brought about a sale of these lands.
He was of tbe opinion tbat they wre
worth more than 80.53 an .acre. He
began to correspond with the Indian
office, with tbe result that Acting
Commissioner Valentine advised
Chamberlain that tbe department will
be willing to accept bids if off ered.
Chamberlain hopes to carry the
matter farther and procure an order
from the department to advertise
in tbe Oregon newsoapers for bids,
bis idea beijg tbat the people of Ore
gon should have an opportunity to
bid on tbe acreage rather than that
citizen of another state be permitted
to buy them at private sale.
Chamberlain iu bis communication
to tbe Iudiaa department, said. :
"1 have been induced to keep up
this matter because there have teen
more or less charges of fraud in con
nection with Oregon lands, and I have
learned since coming to Washiutgon
tbat certain individuals are taking
steps to acquire these lands at a fixed
price per acre. "

All Hands Jumped
Into Cold Goose Lake
A funny thing happened last Fri
day. Tbe gasolene launch, belonging
to tbe O. V. L Co., got out of tlx iu
some way, aul Creed MoKendree,
Clarence Rinehart, aud some others,
made au attempt to tlx it. It
seems the tauk leaked, aud uot
discovering it was gasoleue in
tbe bottom of tbe boat, some one
dropped a lighted match, with tbe
result tbat the whole thing was in a
blaze iu an instant. All bauds jumped
luto tbe lake. But Creed with an eye
to th main chauoe grabbed the gaso
lene can, and a bottle of spirits ftu
meuti, used for lubricating purposes.
The boat was then capsized aud tbe
Dames extinguished. It was a close
call tor the boys, not ouly from hein
badly burned, but also might have
caused the loss of tbe bott. ,
The flrst train reached Klamath
Falls at noon, the 15th.
