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.

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.

SEEKING m FOR NEW PARTY ins L 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.
