ROAD IMPORTANT TO LOCAL TRADE ttMJXTY HIGHWAY TO MLVER LAKK, WHKN COMPLBTRD, WILL MAKK MUCH TERsVITORY ACCKHHIIILR , D. K. Burrell of Kort Rock la wait. Ing In Klamath Kalla for tho weather to gat In auch shape that tho work of Improving tho. new road through to Silver Lake may be pushed under his supervision for Klamath county.. So far the county haa apent only It.JOO on the road, Mr. Burrell says, and haa about S00 yet to use. There remains to be done aome grading through Sol omon's Klata, which la a very Import ant need The finishing of this road wll. mean a fine thing for Klamath Kalla merchants and the peoplo of the Fttm mer Lake, Chrlstmaa Lake and Fort Rock neighborhoods, mutual! con sidered, aa It will bring them much closer together. It will give the northerly and northeasterly parte of Lake county better facilities for trad ing here than they have with any other points, Bend, Crescent or Lake- view, for the heavy grades are cov ered by the railroad exteaalon bo- tween here and Chlloquln, so tbat the haul between cntioquin ana me i farming region which la so rapidly developing will bo made a compara tively easy one by tbe road when fin ished, as It has no heavy grades. I notice where John Irwin is quot ed as saying he la aurprtsed at the ox tent of the country up' there," said Mr. Burrell today. "I don't wonder. Anybody would be, for tbo growth of that aectlon, for a country so far from railroad facilities, la certainty calculated to arouse anybody'a aston ishment. It Is being very rapidly set tled, and new people aro coming in all the time. There la aome Tory fine farming country over in Lake county which doea not show on tbo map. They have land which will raise tho very finest apples In this section, ana as for fruit prospects, tbelr's la cer tainly rosy. I've alwaya advocated .ttlna Klamath Falls In bettor touch with thoss vast farming areas, ana u took a long time to get the thing on a moving basis. The road Improve ment will not only save grades, but it win save those peoplo up there much time. "We want to have It so that tho merchants of Klamath Kails wlll'be able to get up there with their autoa whsn ths weather Is good and solicit trade. You've got to keep In touch with peoplo and show tnem wnero you stand, if you are going to do business with them. The people from Band and elsewhere up that way got through there with their autoa solicit- Inst trads. There was a mas at say Diaco only tho other day to sell wire and othor supplies. Ths cost of hauling w soms nainta baa been vary high In the past, and any advantage the settlers can find which will cut this out will ho wslcomed by them. Wlnttr before it it east 110 a ton for hay at Howard's, forty miles north wo it from Kort Rock on the Bend road, and oth er places similarly situated. Tne farmer had to pay 120 for hla hay, per ton for hla 1234 GS.couvChKTAO per ton, In Madras, Hay Creek and auch places, and It cost f 40 to freight It to the Howard place. It cost f 1.60 per bead for stabling horses at the stage stations and at Howards, and the aame at La Pine. It'a less thla year for bay, but Just bow much I don't know. "I know one who waa paid 1120 for hauling freight from Madras to Kort Rock, and be told me bis ex pense on tbo round trip wero 190, Thlcb left blm only (30 for his work. It took htm about fourteen days." EAGLES PERMIT FIVEONWE KRATKRNAL ORDER HAS INTTIA TION OK.
