Two of the surprises of the tourna
ment were the platings of W. I. Barclay
and C i:. Widdoes. Mr. Widdocs is
one of the younger players, but is rapid
ly developing into a flrst-clasa player.
Mr. llarclay plays hard at all times and
Is very steady.
An effort will be made at once to gain
admission to the United Slates National
Lawn Tennis association, and make the
tournament an annual event. The peo
ple of Klamath Kails have taken great
Interest In tho tournament, and have
hi-led to mako il successful, even lie

Next year the club proposes to be In
hotter shape to entertain Its visitors,
and it is hoped more commodious quar
ters will bo secured, with shower baths
and lockers. An effort will also Iks made
to get tho best players of tho state, as
well as adjoining slates, lo enter.
Hoard ol Directors Holds Special Meeting and Plans Pro

Investors Who Are Coming
Garfield May Gome
C. II. Fitch, the Acting Director ol
the lteclarnatlon Pcrvlcc, has written to
Director Jacob Itueck, of the Water
Uteis' Association, that it is Very prob
able that .Secretary Garfield and Direc
tor F. II. Newell will visit the Klamath
project this Summer. At this time
they are both absent from Washington
and nothing can bo done about the re
jection of the bids on the Clear lake
dam until they return.
It Is the wish of many of the land
owners that Secretary Garfield should
come here and make a personal investi
gation of the conditions in the Upper
project. Po far llie 83 per cent of the
land asked by Director Newell has not
been tinned and unless a deal for the
lieekman lauds ts coniummated It will
lie a difficult matter to get the required
per cent. The lieekman tract comprises
over 2U00 acres and it this is signed with
the Government It will ratio the per
cent above 60.

to bo lots of It.
l'racllcal mining men have secured
control of some ol the best properties In

and should the sinking of (halts and

New Pictures Tonight
A. F. Clublne, one of the Merrill
saloonuien, does not propose that the
prohibition wave shall drive htm farther
than across the line Into California. It
is not more than a mite and a half to
the state line from Merrill and Mr.
Clublne has n resort already started In
the gulden state and is advertising that
tree butses will run from Merrill to his
resort In Calllornla, and It Is said that
the buss line Is pretty well patronized
even though Merrill did go dry quite
strong.
A special meeting of the Hoard ol Di
rectors of the Klamath Chamber of
Commerce was held this afternoon for
the purpose of discussing the plans for
an excursion from Portland for pleat-
ure seekers and Investors. A full board
was present and after some discussion It
was decided to extend an invitation to
the people of Portland and tho vicinity
of tlist city to viilt the Klamath coun
try, leaving Portland July 25. General
Passenger Agent Wm. McMurray had
been previously seen regarding the mat
ter and he stated that the Southern Pa
cific would mako a special rate for the
occasion. W. It. Davis and T. A. K.
Fassctt attended the meeting this after
noon and stated that they would attend
to getting reduced rates fiotn the local
transportation companies.
The Chamber of Commerce will ar
range a program for the excursionist
from the time they arrive at Weed. The
llbenl time limit of the tickets, fifteen
or twenty Jays, will enable the excur
sionist- to make trips through the agri
cultural districts between thla'city and
Merrill, toris!t Crater Lake and many
ol the resorts on the Upper Uke.
The Board of Directors ol the Cham
ber of Commerce also JeclJt J to estenJ
an ins Itation to the PortlanJ Y. M. C.
A. to make their trip to Crater Jjike via
this city, and if the invitation Is ac
cepted they will be (he guests of the
Chamber when they arilve here about
the middle of August.

havo the wires strung about half way to
Bonanza on the electric line. They are
putting up the power line and also a
telephone line so that the service will be
entirely completed as soon as Bonanza
Is reached by tho workmen. Another
crew of men Is setting poles !n this city
and still another is hauling poles for the
power lino lo Merrill. The building
will not bo creeled until the machinery
Is all installed and mot of the other
work completed.
Wool Clip Sold
Sheepmen of tills section of the state
have disposed of the wool clip for this
year. The price in many Instances was
not as good as had been expected. In
the early part of the season It waa
thought that the price would not go
below 15 cents, but It was only the
choice clips that brought this flguro, the
most ol the clips selling for 13 and 14
cents. Last year the price ranged from
19 to 23 cents.
Shearing Is finished in most parts ol
the country, although In tlio vicinity of
the lava beds there are still a few bauds
that havo not been sheared. All of the
sheep are now on the summer range,
most ol the men engaged In this indus
try having leased land In the reserves.
