soldiers. It Is hoped that there will
be many more this week, as there Is
plenty to occupy all who can come.
The body of an unknown man, who
had been dead In the neighborhood of
three weeks, was found late yester
day afternoon by Jack Logan, a wood
chopper, in the bushes adjoining the
old Fort Klamath Road, Just beyonu
thn crett of the hill, about three mile
from the city. - ' --
On making the discovery Logan Im
mediately notified the sheriff, who
went to the spot with the undertaker
and other officials, and took charge of
the bodly, which was in a badly de
composed condition.
The man, about 35 years of age,
had evidently committed suicide by
shooting himself in the back of the
neck with the ,22-callbre revolver
found in his hand. The shot had
broken bis neck. He was fairly well
dressod thruout, but no mark of iden
tity could be discovered on any of his
rtothlng. A silver watch and $5.45
were found in his pocket. He wore a
biowu cord worsted suit, good shoes
and light brown golf cap. The hair
was black, tinged with gray. He waa
evidently about five feet four Inches
till. ' k

in the absence of Dr. A. A. Soule. The
reranlns were interred) early later by
Undertaker Earl Wbltlock.

Will Reclaim Land
With Wmd Mills
To leclalm the extensive tract of. mills so as to get the flood waters oK
marsh land which they have recently
purchased near Algoma, John Hagel
teln and son William have arranged
for the purchase of four ten foot
wind mills of the variety recently pat
ented by A. Carlson of thia city.
The land Is sufficiently drained now
during a large part of the season, but
does not become dry in time for early
spring work, when It must be town to
obtain the beat remits. It U the idea
of tho new owners to install these
at an earlier date. They then plan to
irrUatr. the tract from tho Barclay
Springs on the north.
Carlron'a mills have proved them
selves very valuable In the reclama
tion of lands, as they can be left for
long periods without any attention
