Underwood STAGE AUTO HAS NARROW ESCAPE Leaking Gasoline Becomes Ignited and Causes Much Damage Carl Young, driver for the Southern Oregon Auto Co. between here and Klamath Falls, met1 with a peculiar accident Tuesday when near Whiskey creek. He was carrying a case of gasoline on the trunk rack which had evidently sprung a leak. The gasolene spread over the rear part of the ma chine and finally in some way became ignited evidently from the exhaust. The flames shot up but did not reach the cana and Mr. Young succeeded in detaching them from the burning ma chine. He then drove hia car to a safe distance and smothered the flames with sand. On arrival here the car presented a wrecked appearance, the rear and one side of the car, aa well as the cushions, having been greatly damaged by the flames. However, the machin ery was uninjured and the round trip waa made on schedule time. Stork man uses only the best ct tolmecoa In the manufacture of his cigars.

Tuesday night causing a loss of about $5000. The tire originated in the kitchen and wasj discovered about 11 o'clock. Its spread was so rapid that scarcely anything was saved. The hotel and outbuildings were all consumed, but the barn and buildings across the street escaped. The property was owned by Tom Edsall and waa leased to Pete Vogel. The destruction of the hotel will be a serious inconvenience to the public, aa Bly ia located centrally and has always been a Btopping place for nearly every one passing through the country. It Is likely that temporary arrangements will bo made immediately for caring for the travel.

Removed A grain William Wallace, the local confec tioner, last week removed bia supplies from the Moore building to the former Board of Trade rooms. This is the second time within a very few months that Mr. Wallace baa been obliged to remove hia goods to a new location. He was formerly located in the store now occupied by the Colorado Cafe and was obligea to vacate when C. E. Lonzway purchased the property. This time be was obliged to remove owing to the fact that F. Fetsch. the new owner of the Moore building, expect to open up a tailoring - shop in a few days. Mr. Wallace ia no quitter, how ever, aa may be evidenced by hia open ing up in his new quarters. Fingers Injured Last Thursday afternoon while work ing at a rip aaw in the Planing Mill.

Oliver Grows Fine Crops of Wheat, Rye and Alalfa J. C. Oliver, the well known West Side rancher, has on exhibit at Max well's office rye that measures 6 feet 9 I inches tall, wheat 4 feet in height and j alfalfa of the same length. All were produced by dry farming methods and the yield proimses to be exceptionally good. To an Examiner representative ! Mr. Oliver atated that the wheat will j produce not less than 30 bushels per acre, the heads being exceptionally long and well filled. The rye is being cut for hay and it will probably go close to Si tons to the acre. The alfal fa is also a good crop and will yield heavily. Mr. Oliver harrowed his grain crops twice after they were up. and while it made them look, sick for a time yet the good results at this time make him a firm believer in dry farming methods of conserving moisture. Hay is very plentiful thia year and the prices will no doubt be much lower than last aeason, when in some in stances they reached the $20 murk. drew C.

It was first announced that the contract had been cancelled, and later that each action bad been rescinded. While granting the com pany an extension ot time, the Board contends that it did not rescind it, action in cancelling tbo contract. Snob, may be the ease, yet the results appear to be the same and the Portland Irriga tion Co. still holds the fort, as it were. The following dispatch gives the pre sent status of the case : Salem. Aug. 4. The report publish ed this morning that the desert land board had rescinded its action of July 28 canceling the Portland Irrigation; company's contract on the Paisley pro ject in Lake county ia misleading. The minutes of the board meeting show that the Portland Irrigation company "would be allowed until January L. 1912. in which to make arrangement, for financing their project provided that aaid company shall within 30 days file with the desert land board com plete estimates of the cost of construc tion and such other data as may be necessary to estimate the probable cost and to understand the plana of the com pany, and shall also file with sail data, a relinquishment in favor ot the state, duly executed by the aaid company of all its rights in and to Oregon desert land selection list No. 15 under con tract with the state board, also a re linquishment of all its water right Continued on pane 4 RAILROAD RUMOR AGAINREVIVED Hill's East-and-West Line Across State Still Glimmering: That suspicion of a decision having been reached by the Hill system to build an east and west line across th state of Oregon is really the force be hind, the recent announcement of the Harriman system to the effect that th Southern Pacific is to build a line from Eugene to Coos bay by way of Florence, is the opinion in some rail road circles. The fact that surveyors said to be in the employ of Hill roads are inten sely active in central Idaho mapping out feasible routes for a crostt-the-tftate line from a point in the vicinity of Salmon City to Boise, through the famous Long Valley, and the comple tion of a survey trom Roseburg to Coos bay by a company believed to be acting for the Hill system, is taken as very significant indications that an east to west line cross the state is about to be prosecuted by the Hill system. Such a line would intersect the Oregon Trunk line and give an outlet to im mense areas now untouched by rail roads in the heart of the state. It would also give Coos bay direct con nection with the northern tinea upon the closing of a narrow gap between Salmon river in Idaho, and some suit able point in Montana. The Harvest Is- On The harvesting of Goose Lake Val ley's bumper grain crops commenced thia week, and headers are now in operation on many ranches. J. Hanaon started harvesting hia crop on the Point Ranch a few days since, as did J. C. Oliver on the West Side, ana at several places along the east si.l of the lake and the work goes merrily on.
