However, Mr. Rickey ia thoroughly conversant with the wools of Lake County, being Jamlllar with not only the quality of the same but the weather and range conditiona dur ing the past year aa well. Hence he In a Doaition to offer all the market affords for our wools, and that ha baa done ao ia evidenced bv the fact that he haa purchaaed nearly all in tb county. Aa consequence it ia not pro bable that any wool aale will take place in July, aa baa been previously an nounced.

He also aaid tbe prospect waa very good and the pro moters ot thia property have everv rea son to believe that the Jumbo will te developed into a good paying mine. There ia estimsted to be between 900 and 1000 tons of ore on tbe dump, all of which ia free milling, and by the time tbe additional 24 feet ia complet ed, tbe advisability of Installing a stamp mill will be taaen up by the company. Tbe contract ealla for tbe completion of the work by June 15, and oearly all other Interested parties in tbe Wind Hollow district are at present awaiting the resulta of development of tbe Jumbo Chief before beginning active work on their properties.

Bailey Finishes Deals for Purchase of the Paisley Holdings CIRCUIT COURT-SESSION JURY SUBMITTED REPORT AFTER CAREFUL INVESTIGATION Geo. M. Bailey, president of tbe Northwest townsite.Uompany, of Min neapolis, waa in Lakeview thia week. Mr. Bailev'a company baa taken over what Is known sa tbe Portland Irriga tion project at Paiaey, aa well aa tbe George Coon holding at that place, and It was on business connected with the closing of tbe deal lor tbe latter property that cauaed Mr. Bailey's visit at thia time. While here Mr. Bailey made known tbe fact that work would commence on the dam for tbe reservoir as soon as it waa practicable to haul in auppliea to the Upper Cbewaucan, which ia not likely to be before July 1. No work will be done on tbe main eanala and laterala until the asm is well under wsy, which may possibly be not before 1914, aa tbe dam will be a very extcn aive piece of work. ' K. A. Harrower, the company's chief engineer, has) oeen examining tbe Drews dam of the local protect, in order to secure data to be used in connection with bia work in building the Chewaucan dam, and it ia underatood that be ia well pleased with tbe work of Engineer Rice, of the O. V. L. Co., who planned and baa charge of tbe work of building te Drews dsm. During bis stay Mr. Bailey express ed himself aa well pleaaed with the conditiona attending tbe Paisley pro tect, and ia confident that bia company will prosecute tbe work to completion aa quickly aa possible. Tbe principal drawback la tbe distance from rail transportation to tbe dam, which will make tbe cost of the work much more expensive than would otherwise be tbe ease. It ia likely that the auppliea and material necessary will be taken in by way of the 7-Up ranch, necessitating a i wagon haul of not less than 2 miles. "J1UNG BURGLAR IS .nnirn nv rnnnT Ray me. t Report Every Month V His pouting for nduct Cases are Being Rapidly Disposed of and the Docket will Probably Be Cleared by End of the Week Attendance Large The regular May term of Circuit Court waa convened Monday morning by Judge Henry L. Benson, and no time waa lost in getting down to busi ness. Tbe Grand Jury waa immediate ly drawn, and consisted of J. B. Auten, K. U. Loveless, L. A. Carriker, E. E. Brewer, J. D. Heryford, J. L. Hamp ton and Chas. Pitcher. The first in dictment waa against R. L. Raymer, on a charge of burglary, and when ar raigned he pleaded guilty wherepon Judge Benson imposed a sentence of from two to five yeara in the Peniten tiary, and then paroled him during good behavior. A number of civil cases were then taken op and disposed of and Wednes day the Grand Jury made Ita final re port and also returned two indictmenta against R. Willis for perjury, one each gainst Oliver Brant and Moyd Lane, charging them with assault with a deadly weaoon, and one against it, F. Lane, Oliver Brant and Floyd Lane on charge of assault and batterv. Mr. Willis waa arraigned thia morn ing and given until thia afternoon in which to plead. There ia.a difference of opinion among attorneya as to whether the crime charged in the indictment ia provided for in the Oregon statutes, and it is likely that the attorneya for the defense will demurr to the indict ment, and the matter will be argued before Judge Benson. Tbe assault cases are the outcome of a row between the partiea indicted and D. J. Dotaon, in which the latter waa severely injured. The Grand Jury submitted tbe follow ing report : ' We the Grsnd Jury duly empannelled and aworn at the May 1912, term and find that tbe aame ia kept in a eat is factory manner, but would re com mena mac mere anouid be added a private cell for tbe care of women We bave examined the city jail of the City of Lakeview and find tbe same to te in an unsanitary and unsatistac tory condition, and recommend that it be immediately replaced by a modern and aanitary jail. We also find tbat the city jail of the City of Paisley ia in tne ssrae common ana snouia be im proved in the same manner. We would recommend that the law in regard to fire escapes of all hotela and lodging houses of the county should be called to the attentlcn of all pro prietors and in case ot failure to com ply therewith that immediate prosecu tions be commenced. We have examined tbe opera houses in Lakeview and rind them satisfac torily equipped with escapee but find the Paisley opera house ia not and would recommend that It be provided with another exit.

LIBRARY HAD ITS FIRST "TAG DAY" Good Work of the' Ladles Netted Association About S185 'Twaa a great day, indeed, and aa a result the ladiea of the Library Asso ciation bave their exchequer enriched to the sum of $185.15. It was tbe first Tag Day experience in Lakeview, and every one entered into tbe spirit of tbe occasion with vim and enertrv both - pro and eon. The cons won out in every instance, for whenever an effort was made to evade being tagged it proved bollv unsuccessful. It was a caae of being "Johnny - on - tbe - Spot," with Mrs. H. O. Kubl in the title role, al though ber efforts were ably seconded by many other members rf the associa tion. Mra. Kuhl chose Hotel Lakeview as the scene of ber test and earliest efforts, and thoae who were early at breakfast were more or lees surprised to be tagged before they were aware that tbe game waa on. Shortly after 6 o'clock did Mrs. Kuhl put in an ap pearance, and mighty few were they who escaped. - All dsy long the ladies pressed their suit, and at nightfall when they counted their change they felt well repaid for their efforts.
