"Ieath Valley Bcotty" (Arthur

the rim of notoriety some nftet'n
ars ago wilt be recalled by most
newspaper readers who ara' old
enough to have perused tbo dally
(ifenn of the period of a decade and
a half ago, quit a pick and shovel
job at Ave dollars per In the Warren
Construction company's gang on
Klghth street yeiterday and left for
California. Scotty has his own car
and while he I traveling consider
ably less do lux than when In 190S,
or was It 1906, he chartered a spec
ial Santa Fe train for a .transconti
nental trip, he still Is traveling In
style.
The writer does not vouch that It
was Scotty who was with us. He did
not see him, but makes -the state
ment on belief and from Information
gathered from members ot the city
engineering department. If the
scribe bad seen Scotty It is doubtful
if be would have recognlted him.
Certainly the recognition would not
have been mutual, fpr when Scotty
was In the heydey of his glorious
saturnalia ot extravagance, he hob
nobbed with the millionaire, and tho
mighty of earth.
He had one suite at the Palaco
hotel and another at the Fairmont In
San Francisco, and .witched his bed
ding down place about once a day In
order to get his money's worth. He
bought champagne by the gallon,
lived upon the epicurean beat, and
flung handfuls of twenty dollar
pieces left and right. Then he char
tered tho special from I.oa Angeles
to New York, which alone, without
tho expenses of the trip and they
wero expenses cost $48,000.
The spectacular spree was soon
over, and Scotty'a moteorlc flash
across the horizon of cafes, chorus
passed beyond the rim. '
And now they say ho turned up In
Klamath Falls, wielded a muck stick
at five dollars per for two or three
weeks and trundlod Mown tho pike
toward California, back to tha des
ert and its golden lure.
In conversation Scotty, is said to
havo oxplalned that themlno from
which his former fortuno camo still
waits In Death Valley and this win

and fly across tho sands In which
so many have perished to the treas

This claim ran about ten cents to
the ton In Its natural state,, but
Scotty relalatlcally painted the Illy,
and tbe figure la apropos Inasmuch
as a brush was used In the transac
tion. I
It was the ordinary split bamboo
brush with which the housewife
scours her kettles. Scotty filled the
bristles with One gold. His uncle
and partner were Inspecting the
claim and when they washed a pan
ful of gold Scotty would hand them
the prepared brush with a careless
gesture, saying, "Here, scrape the
bottom out wlta this."
Of course the residue ot sand In
tbe bottom of tbo pan came out
plentifully Impregnated with gold.
Scotty maintains that he did not aalt
the mine. "They did It themselves,"
be says.
Scotty's tale of tbe Midas treasure
in the desert Is not overly credited.
When he burst 'Into the limelight
with his wlerd tale and several sacks
full ot rich gold ore, tbe day of tho
press agent was In Its zonith, Pross
agents were pressing their vocation
in every direction. Railroad, steam
ship linos and other utilities that do
pend on public patronage for a rev

MAT GET HELP
CHICAGO, June IV. Establish
ment of a fund ot one hundred mil
lion dollars, to be used for the pur
pose of extending financial aid to tbo
wool growers of tbe west, while they
are awaiting tbe re-establtshmeat of
the wool market, was considered at
a conference today, held ' between
leading bankers of the west-'knd
representatives ot the shee'pmea.
Chicago bankers are asked to dis
place Boston banks In financing tho
annual wool clip of the country,
which plan, If successful, would
make Chicago ibo nation's wool cen
ter. The outcomo of this conference
will be watched with keen Interest
by the people of Klamath for tho
prosperity of the sheep men Is close
ly wrapped up with the prosperity
ot a large section of this country.
The big drop In tbe price of wool,
from 58 cents to 25 cents, Is not eii
plained by lack ot demand nor tha
Importation ot Australian wool, and
It la tbe belief ot many of the lead
Ing sheepmen that It Is duo to an ef
fort ot the big financial speculators
of Doston to get a corner on wool
and then forco the price to unheard
of height. It Is to defeat Just such
a program that the appeal referred
to In the above dispatch Is being
made and If It Is iiremful no (.
gantlc steal will be stopped.
The banks claim that the cause ot
tke low price Is due to the demand of
the government that something most,
be done to forco down price, but the
same cry was sent out when an ef
fort was made to finance the Cuban
sugar crop, with the result the thirty
Uet-agfc-Is"Vlmost a certainty.
r It If understood that localHamtv
men are planning on pooling their
clips, putting them In srorag nt
waiting for the rise In price which Is
sure to come provided they stick to
their purposo of refusing to walk In
to the trap that has been set by Boa
ton speculators.
STARTS FIGHT
ON PINE BEETLE
For the purpose ot inaugurating
the fight that is to be made for tbo
elimination ot the pine beetle, a.
well as finding an effective method,
to accomplish their destruction, W. J.
Chamberlain, state entomologist from
Corvallls, arrived here last night. Ho
will be stationed here all summer
and will personally direct tbe cam
paign that it Is hoped will result In
the solution ot a problem that kaa
puzzled 'the timber owners and which.
It not solved, threatens the destruc
tion ot tbe pine forests ot tbe west.
In Klamath county the beetle ka.
been particularly destructive and tha
announcement that a concerted and
scientific tight Is to be made upon
this pest will be welcome news.
It Is the Intention ot Prof. Cham
berlain to carry on extensive elec
trical experiments near; Keno, It be
ing hoped that by tbe use ot electric
ity 'a quick, oftectlvo method of de
struction may bo found. He wilt also
go to Jenny creek, whero be will en
deavor to ascertain the causo of tho
wholesale destruction of the beetle,
which occurred there last wlntor. If
tho causo can bo ascertained and It It
Is ot such a nature that it can bo
used, It will prove ot Incalculable
value to the west.
O. O. DIRECTORS' MKETINQ
Tho directors of tbe chamber of'
commerce will meet at tho office on
Fifth street tomorrow evening at t

will be ablo to report, at least tenta
