New 1'lne Creek. Ore.. Aoril 9.
Having read In the Examiner about the
rush that Is expected into the High
Grade camp near New fine Creek this
srason Nelson Itnunsevell and your cor
respondent, of Klamath Falls, stsrted
out in the former's Brush runabout last
Saturday morning and. after a rather
strenuous triD arrived in Lakeview Sat

this place highly excited about the new

few feet north of the poatoflice. waa
sold for S10 a front foot and today
Mr. Kounsevell bought the same for S25
a foot. He has also'ourcaaed a front
age of 100 feet on Stat Street one
block west of the Main street and will
probably invest heavily in real estate
here before he returns to tho Falla. A
lot on the aouth side of State street a
tew reel west or the msin struct waa
aold last week for S25 a front foot and
tne iucxv owner is now asking v0 a
front foot for the same. There la no
doubt In mv mind that the town Is on
the eve of a substantial boom because I
am thoroughly convinced that High
Grade can produce the goods. Of
course most of the old timers who have
lived here for fears and have never
been through a gold rush cannot realize
what is liable to haooen here within
the next sixtv dava, but thev are
wakened up every morning now bv the
hammering of carpenters on the new
buildings that are being erected.
Mr. Kounsevell and vour correspon

morning at 8 :30 for the Sunshine mine.

Bailey & Massingill are now having
brick delivered for the erection of an
addition to the rear of their store at
the corner of Water and Canvon streets.
The addition will be 16x45 feet with
full basement, in which will be located
a steam heating Plant. With the com
pletion of the addition the storeroom
will be 100 x 45 feet In size, which will
permit of uarrving several additional
lines to their already large stock. Thev
will also remodel the front of the build
ing, installing large plate glass win
dows with orism glass above, which
will admit much more light than" the
regular glass. The interior will also be
remodeled, modern store fixtures re

During the oast vears the firm has
always kept pace with the growth of
the town and development of the coun

N.-C.-O. DUYS LAND
AT NEW PINE CREEK
Rumored That Round
House Will Be Estab
lished There
That the N.-C.-O. people have last
ing faith In Goose Lake Valley and its
towns was plainly evidenced this week
when they purchased from M.
Green, aome 47 acres of land adjoining
the New fine Creek station grounds.
The land lies south of the State line
and between the lake and the west
side of the orchard about a fourth of a
mil distant from the lake. It is pro
posed to lay out the land into town lots
and small tracts and offer the same for
sale in a short time. It is understood
that tbe price Daid was in the neighbor
hood o f $200 per acre. The tract is ad
mirably located, having a gentle slope
to the lake and commanding a view of
that beautiful body of water and the
mountains bounding it In the distance.
It is rumored that the comoany may
establish a round bouse and machine
shoos there when tbe road Is extended
north to a junction with either the Hilf
or Harriman lines.
Mining Excitement
About tha biggest item of talk where
two or three are gathered together
these davs Is the condition of affairs at
New Fine Creek. Every third man vou
find will approach you with a secretive
air. and vou might think he would pull
a gun on vou. until vou see what is
apparently a rock picked uo in tbe
middle of the street, until the glamor
of mining excitement colors it with
gold. They are all carrying location
blanks around in their pockets awaiting
tbe disappearance of tbe snow. Real
estate transfers are taking place rapid
ly, and town lota are selling at rar
Iv. "ith ,f iterv prospect of
higher prices.' Hall & Reynolds have
disposed of much of their holdings at
a good price, the prospect for a busy
summer on the State Line is good.

It is reported that a now of natural
gaa was struck a few davs since by the
Hale well-boring outfit while .at work
sinking a well in the neighborhood ot
Dan Graf's place In the Summer Lake
section. The well was down about 180
feet when it was noticed that dTcsional
goats of what seemed to be air came
out of the pipe. The workmen thought
that perhaps It might be gas. and thev
punched the bottom of a can full of
small holes, placed it over the end of
the pipe and proceeded to ignite it,
There was no doubt as to its burning
Qualities, for thev prepared their sup
per over the flame and did likewise
with their breakfast the next morning.
It Is understood that an effort Is be
ing made to keen the "find" secret and
hence it is almost impossible to learn
the exact facts in the case. However.
the report is given general credence
mong those who should know of its
truth or falsity, and one can scracelv
realize the bearing it will have on the
booming of the country should it prove
true.

numbers in song. They looked very
lovely in Easter robes of white. The
pastor's wife is very proud of this
class which she calls "The Pleiades"
Seven Sisters a constellation often
seen in the Heavens. Mrs. Riddels
cheered all with a beautiful solo, ren
dered with tender expression. In the
evening Mrs. Thos. Farrell led in song
and favored the audience with a solo
"Kouk of Ages" which waa intently
listened to and greatlv admired. Miss
Kathleen O'Neill was accuinuanist and
trained the voung ladies. The Sab
bath School sent a card of Easter greet

the church were gratified with the ob
servance of the day.
PLAN TO UTILIZE
CONTRACT LANDS
To Form Stock Company
For Purpose of Handl
ing Tracts
Of interest to the Oregon Valley
Land Company purchasers, and also to
every one who wishes to see Goose
Lake Valley thrive, are the plana that
are being put forth to utilize the lands
of the non-resident property owners.
The first plan contemloates organiz
ing a stock comoany to take over the
holdings of the individual tract owners
in certain sections and issue an equal
amount for each tract, clear, plow and
seed it and at an opportune moment
sell it in tracts ot 50. 100. or 100 acres
in the meantime the land will be pro
ducing a revenue for the land owners.
This plan is feasible, and gives great
promise of success, as the irrigation
system will be able to deliver water for
the season of 1913. Thia plan is teing
sdvanced bv local parties and further
announcement may shortly be expected.
Tbe second olsn is one suggested by
F. A. Mott. of Enid. Okahoma. who
has some of this land, and auite an ac-
eauaintance with tbe tract holders of
tbe Middle West. Writing to the Com
tnercial Club Mr. Mott sava:
"I suppose the Commercial Club of
vour citv is organized aa we have them
here, for the purpose of promoting '.the
interests of Lakeview and vicinity
and interest the people of the East in
the possibilities of that section. Aa
you well know the Oregon Valley Land
Company baa interested manv people
in thia State and tbe Middle West in
vour and adjoining counties. These
people own tracta of from 10 acres on,
In covering two states myself I bave
bad tbe opportunity to meet auite
number who own 10 to 29 acres in tbe
vicinity of Lakeview, and with hardly
an exception thev are people who will
not go there and develop this land on
account of other interests. But I be-
live the majority of them would pay to
bave it done. I myself own tract 8.
1 Sec. 33. T. 30. R. 19 and can control
two tracta joining me to develop. I
have been writing these people outlin
ing a Plan to ouncn up say ou acres,
fence it. clear and plow, and put in
a crop, and have written a number of
parties at Lakeview outlining what we
wanted to do. and asking if they would
refer me to anv reliable party. I waa
successful in getting a reply from only
one Wm. F. Pavne & Co, and thev
adviaed that tbev were not able to get
any one. as the ranchers in that vici
nity bad all that thev could attend to.
It looks to me as though there was an
ooportunitv for vour club to do aome
missionary work which would bring re
sults to Lakeview and vicinty. Here
vou have people scattered all over the
West who don't have to be interest ed

age sown to grain tbia year and the
yield promises to be exceptionally
good. Mr. Kuykendall states that where
the land has been in cutlivation two or
three yeara that the oropa are praoti
cally certain to yield good returns, for
there seems to be more moisture con
served in lands that have been cultivat
ed for several yeara than in newly

conditions, which among other things
means an absence of north winds, there
Is no doubt but that the Christmas

this year.
