When the court adjourned lu May 110
time whs fixed for oouveulng, althou
gh ii waa intended that an adjourn
ed term would be held iu September.
Under that uuderataudiug it wan
thought that Court could be rocou
veued at nay time aud that Harrell's
trial could take place Immediately
lu au Oklahoma cube tbe Supreme
Court held :
"If au adjournment la had without
llxlng any epecilled time, the law de
termines the time at which the court
tihall convene to be at the bngluiug of
the !ext term," aud a number ot
other dlacibious are along ;the same
line. In the above cane the court de
cided the "the judgment nu the low

when tho court, uuder ttio luw, was

letter from tbe latter, wblcb appears
above.
While many of ua no doubt thought
wa kuew all about the country, yet
few if any fully realized what Mr.
Tylor waa really doing 00 bla
plaoa. His owo statement shows more
clearly tb possibilities of Goose Lake
Valley than any thing else, except

SIGNS INDICATE
ARTESIAN WATER
SUMMER LAKE RANCHER
TO SINK WELL
If Successful Will Greatly
Enhance the Value of
Land Thereabouts
I. L. Hale, who bss been engaged
la sinking aa artesian well la Christ
mas Lake Valley during tbe past aev
eral weeks baa discontinued work
there aud la removing bla outfit to
L. P. Kllupel'a plaoa near Summer
Lake, where be will am k another well.
Tbe work at Culatnias Late was dis
continued owing to a ebortage of
funds and not because the prospects
for striking a flow wsre not good.
A depth of 415 feet had beeo reach
ed tbe last 40 feat being of very bard
formation.
Before a depth of 200 feet had been
reached aeveral deposits of natural
gas were struck, and ao strong waa
tbe flow that Mr. Hale moved bis
plant back from tbe well for fear of
an explols.in. Oil was struck at a
depth of 3T0 feet, although It was not
of sulllceut quantity to prove of
value. However, Hale is quite con
fident that oil la great quantities un
derlie the valley aod will be tapped
In tbe not far distant future.
The possibility of obtaining flow
ing wells at Mr. Kilppel's place are
considered very "good, kand possibly
onal oil and gas mittht be disoovered.
(iovernmeut reports state that a flow
of water will likely bj found by sink-
lug relatively shallow cased wells
from 100 to 000 feet (iu depth. Mr.
Klippel will sink his well 500 feat un
ions he enoountrea a flow before roaoC
lug that depth.
The Importance of the work under
taken by Mr. Klippel can hardly be
estimated, for should an artesiaa flow
bo struck it would mean the doubl
ing or trebling of trie value of thous
ands of acres of riot) laud lu that sec
tion which .under present conditions
will produce very limited crops. -3
notice, and should Judge Noland
coustruejthejlaw iu accordance wltTi
the dooUiou of the Oklahoma courts
he could then call a speoiul term. It
appears that the custom of adouru
Ing comt iu blauk has prevailed in
othe r counties of the State, aad it is
poHHlble that other authorities may
be fouud sustalnlug suau action.
Tournament Is Off
Owing to uumoious, causes the
principal one being sickness iu tbe
Silver Lake team it baa been fouud
uecoHHiiry to call tbe baseball tourna
ment olf. Yesterday (Jus Sohrodei
telephoned that several of bis wen

Department
Commencing tomorrow 8. B. Chan
dler takes charge of tbe mall contract
between Lakevlew and Paisley. Boms
time since be placed an order for tbe
coaches be expects to operate on tbe
ilne, but ae yet they have not arrived.
Owing to that fact be will start
tbe servioe wWh automobles, leaving
Lakeview at 7:30 a. m aad Pasiley at
1 :3o p. m.
Tbe question of carrying the mails
for a time in automobiles waa taken
op with tbe Department some time
since, and Postmaster Miller' was
instructed to assist Mr. Chandler in
every way poeih!e. Tbe Department
is not only willing that tbe mails
should be carried by auto for a time
but Is anxious to have the auto ser
vice established regulary and for as
long a time as the roads will permit.
Roy Chandler will operate tbe line,
aod owing to tbe fact that there are
three machines owqed by different
members of tbe family no trouble is
anticipated In maintaining tbe
scbule. The mail going out daily
will probably not exceed 250 pound?
in weight at acy one time, and hence
no trouble la antiuioated in hauling
both malls and passengers with one
machine.
Few For Reno
Owing to tbe big celebiatioa and
baseball tournament, Lakeview will
not send a large delegation to Reno
oa tbe occasion of tbe Jeffries-Johnson
contest. Many who would like
very much to see the big fight are
unable tn leave their business at tbla
time, while others cauuot spare tbe
time. Had arrangements beeu made
for a Sunday train it is likely that
several more would have gone.
In a telegram to C. R. Seager it is
announced that tbe train will be held
at Alturas uutil 7 A.M. Saturday.
July 2, and nrrive at Reuo at C P. M.,
aud a good run on the trip is prom
ised. Card of Thanks
1 desire to express my sicoere
thanks to tbe many friend and
neighbors who so kindly assisted me
during the lanl illness of my beloved
wife. 1 assure each and every one
that, inasmuch as we had been resi
dents of Lakevlew but for a short
time, their sympathies as expressed
through their acts were doubly appre
ciated, aud will always be remembered
wito heartfelt gratitude.

MARKET
M OPENED UP
NUMBER OF SALES ARE
REPORTED
PRICES FROM $2.50 UP
Estimated 35,000 Will Be
Driven From Lake
This Season
The sheep market has opeoed up in
fairly good sbspe daring the past
week, and a number of sales are re
ported. Prices are somewhat better
than last year, rauging from tlSO for
yearling weathers to 13.75 for two-year-olds.
A year ago the market
opeoed at t2.35 to t3.2S.
Daring the oast week R. J. Back
and K. P. Til on, California buyers,
have secured about 5000 bead from
T. J. FlooL, Emil Messner, Louisa
Monsa and Loula Enqaijt. Tbey will
drive to Klamath lls and ship from
there lo California markets.
There are a number of other buyers
here. Ineludlng Lonia Gerber, of
Klamath, Isadora and Martin Sara,
of Reno. W. O. Milne, representing
Ciimmons k Pierce, of San Francis
co, besides several others. Uerber
wants six or seven carloads, and pro
bably wiU secure them at once, while
other parties are In the market for
all tbey can get
It is estimated that tere will be
about 35,000 bead sold here In Lako
county during tba present seaaon,
and that tbe.market has opened. It la
likely that numerous sales will take
place in tbe next few days.
A few sales bave bsea made up at
Summer Lake, L, P. klippel having
sold 600 head to Walter Dixon of
Fort Klamath.
As yet no sales of wool are reported,
although It is lumored that some bas
changed bands at price ranging from
IS to 16 cents. However,, it is stated
that practically no wool bas as yet ..
changed bands in this part of Ore
gon oor in Nevada or Northern Call
fornia It is all being beld by pro
ducers, with tbe expectation that tba
market will soon advance.
Range conditions are not so favor
able as tbey were a few weeks ago,
snd the lack of rain is beina aulta
seriously felt in some localities.
This fact doubtless bad a bearing la
tbe sales reported.
ELMER AHLSTROM
NEW POSTMASTER
APPOINTED TO SUCCEED
EPH M'LLER
No Change Was Expected
Until After Fall
Elections
Tbe general publio was more or less
surprised this week by the announce
ment that Elmer C. A hist rom bad
been appointed to succeed Eph Miller
bs Postmaster at Lakevlew. While
Mr. Miller's term expired last Febru
ary, yet it was the general supposi
tion that bis successor would not be
named until after the Fall election.
It was kuown that Mr. Ahlstrom's
nomination had beeo urged upon
Congressman Uawley, and it was tbe
general opiuion that he would land
tbe plum, if sucb it can be con
desired, wheu the appointmeut waa
made.
The position is oue triat is bard to
till, and perhaps tbe most thankless
job in tt)H CioveroQieut service. Mr.
Miller as been subject to more or
leas criticism during bis incumbency
aud Mr Ahlstrom probably does not
expect to entirely escape like cen
sure, for no matter bow faithfully a
postmaster perforois bis duties, some
one will expect a letter or paper
wbiob fails to arrive ou tlire, and
uine times out of teu tbe postmaster
will be blamed for bis failure to re
ceive it. -
Mr. Ablstrom's experience as a
business niau will stand bini in goad
stead and he will no doubt perform
t tie rtnties in the office In a meaner
BJii6.auuij 1. 1 a very large majo-ity
ot tbe palrona of tbe office, fie ex
pects to taks cbarge in a few days.
