D. V. Kuykendall Seeks

So far as the local situation is con
cerned there seems to be nothin' doin'
in Doliitcal circles although it has been
said that atill water has an unusual

missoner A ndoraon. all others to be

as the primaries will be held Aoril 18.
a little over three months from now.
It ia likely that Individuals desiring
to become the servants of the people
will make tbeir wants known in the
near future.
Over in Klamath candidates for
eountv officers are said to be quite num
erous. Arthur Langell. Charley Low
and O. L. Carter being mentioned as
possible candidntes to succeed Billv
Barnes as sheriff. D. V. Kuvkendall
has announced himself a candidate for
re-election as prosecuting attorney for
thia district, and to that end will seek
the Republican nomination. While Mr.
Kuvkendall baa not aecured convictions
in several prominent cases in thiB
eountv. vet his record as a careful and
painstaking official is excellent. The
position of district attorney ia perhaps
the the most difficult to fill satisfac
torily within the gift of the people,
and ia one that is more freely oriticised
than any other. If be puts forth every
effort to secure a conviction, he ia ue

fails to secure a conviction, then he

ONE MORE PAPER
RAILROAD ON MAP
Latest is an Eleetric Line
Connecting Klamath
With Lakeview
Klamath Falls Evening Herald : With
the success of the Horsefly irrigstion
project practically assured there ia
a storv current that an electric line
will be constructed from Lakeview to
this citv. According to what meager
detaila are obtainable the work on the
enterprise will be begun in the spring,
and work will not be completed until
the vear following.
Whether the work will start on both
ends of the proposed route simultane
ously or begin at one end and work
Uiruueh is net stated, nor can the back
ers of the intended route be known at
thia time.
It ia expected to have the line come
via BIv and Bonanaa. either through
the Yonna Valley, of which Dairy ia
the metropolis, or via tbe Poe Vallev.
The distance to take in Blv and
Bonanza is about 110 miles, and takes
in soma of the best farming districts
in the state of Oregon.
It ia believed that the introduction!
of such a line would mean a wonderful
building ud of the agricultural regions
between the termini of the route, and
the result in a rich harvest for the pro
moters. No doubt the construction of such a
line would tend to cut down the bust-

not put them out of business alto-
eether. It would handle both passen
gers and freight, the greater profit pro
portionately being in the freight traffic
Aa it is now the means of communi
cation between Lakeview and this citv
bv stage onlv. and a rough passage it
ia. If the plans of the electric line
are perfected it will bring the capital
cities of Lake and Klamath counties
within about four hours ride of one
another, aa it is no trick for modern
interurban electric cars to cover thritv
five or forty miles, if net more per
hour.
A wonderful influx of settlers is
predicted to follow the completion ot
the route, as small farming would pav
in districts that are now too remote
from markets. An electric line would
bring the farmer working along inten
sive lines closer to his markets, and
be a factor for furthering agriculture
that ia practically inestimable.
The proDored ttan.urtation propo
sition is not altogether new. for John
D. Carroll bad it in mind several vears
ago. when he waa boosting Bonanza
and trving to get agricultural acres
cut uo into small sections. He honed
to see enough small farms in eight to
warrant an electric line across the
country, but hard times in 1907 tended
to impede his plans.

Tells of Big Things Doing
In This Part of
The State
(From Portland Oregonian.)
"Lakeview and Lake county are not
onlv enioving the prosperity which has
so long prevailed there, but are also
enioving the distinction of being on the
railroad man." said W. Lair Thomp
son, a prominent Southern Oregon law
ver. of Lakeview at the Imperial 'yes
terday. "About 10 davs ago the first locomo
tive engine entered Lake county and
Lakeview. Many Young people, born
and bred in Southern Oregon, at that
time aaw a railroad for tbe first time.
Track waa laid into Lakeview and the
work of ballasting will be completed
Januarv 1.
"On Januarv 7 the advent of the
railroad will be celebrated by the good
people of Lake county who hava been
waiting veara for Railroad day. A
special train over the Nevada & Ore
gon Railway will bring visitors from
Reno. Nev . Sacramento and San Fran
cisco.
"Of course, during all of these years
the business of Lake county baa gone
to California citiea. because nature has
made that great interior country tribu
tary to San Jrancisco. and now the
merchants of those cities will ioin with
ua in rejoicing over rail connection
with the world. We oeoule of Lake
