Seeking Milling
In Transit Rate
For Local Lumber
I.'ncouragement, In tbe shape of a
communication from the California
Sugar and Whlto Pine company, of
San Francisco, came to tho chamber
of commerce today in their effort
to secure a fair milling In transit
rste for this city.
This communication elates that
lumber shipments between Algoma
and Kirk on thn Southern Pacific
branch to Klamath Kalis Is too high
to Justlfr tbe stop over here In order
to havo It worked up Into partially
finished product ready for' shipment
to eastern points. However, If a nom
inal rate can be secured from the
Boathern Pacific to permit Jhls ma
terial from the small mills north of
here to be worked up In Klamath
Falls and then dispatched eastward,
the voluma or tho mills will bo swell
ed, tbe railroad will gain In Increas
ed tonnage and thn manufacturer In
this pIsco will bo benefitted Immense
ly. The nig Ilasln Lumber company Is
willing and ready to manufacture this
variety of products and Is equipped
to do so now.
Tho Southern Pacific has not fav
ored this plan but on other branches
of tho system, milling in transit rates
aro lu effect nnd work advantageous
ly to the cltlea where tho mill pro
ducts aro. worked up. In the southern
pine bolt, this rato is In effoct sue
essfully. During this present low prlco per
iod and at a tlmo when tbe manufac
turers want contracts, tho roads want
tonnage and labor wants employment,
tho milling In transit privilege would
work the greatest benefit to Klamath
Kails, as woll as tho mills north of
this locality. Tho stop-over would
permit tho rough lumber to bo sur
faced on both sides, worked up lu
sash, doors and other forms needed
for building purpoaos, and a saving
would bo affected on tho lumber
shlpmont as no waste would bo en
tailed upon the purchasor.

Carpenters Volunteer
To Take Dollar aa

Carpenters at a special meeting
of the local union last night voted
for voluntary reduction of wages
from 18 to $7 a day. There was
considerable discussion, it Is re
ported, tbe 'floating' members of
the union standing for the existing
wage scale. Tho members with
families here, it Is said, argued that
labor must share In descending
price scales nnd voted for the 17
wago.
' It had been rumored that the cut
would bo to t i day, but it was
said that no lower scale than 17
was discussed last nlghti

rViYe.' Charge Fails
Under Court Test
Thn effort to secure tho confine
ment of Thomas II. Hampton In a
sanitarium under a cbargo of mental
Incapacity, mado by his wife, met
with failure last evening, when tho
application iwas considered before
Judge Bunnell, who promptly dismis
sed the caso. Tho evidence showed
that Mr. Hampton was sound of mind
and that tho effort to place him In an
institution for tho Insano was the
outgrowth of an offort of his wlfo to
secure full control of his property.
Mr. Hampton was examined beforo
the court by two physicians, and his
mental alortnoss quickly removed any
lingering doubt that might havo re
mained after tho testimony of tbreo
medical men who stated that there
was no question but that Mr. Hamp
ton was mentally sound.

FISH TUN IT
Another record rainbow trout has
been taken from the region near
Rocky Point at the mouth of Lodge
Creek en Upper Klamath
which adds another mark to
credit of tbo enviable fishing re
of Klamath County. 'A trout weigh
ing tS'A pounds was captured
Tuesday afternoon by W. II. Dar
num, of Med ford, after a 40 mla-
ute battle, asd tbe castor had
troubles during those exciting xeeA
ments than an average pe,aop, does.
In a full week. ' v
First of alt, Mr. Barnum Is net
tbo age of the average ftobajrxaaa,
for be-has rounded, out 74 years.
Despite this load of yean, the de
slra to lure tho "big boys" to take
his tackle offering has never yet
failed him, and for several past
years Rocky Point has drawn him
each season. . The second factor la
the battle? waa that Mr. Barnum was
alone lnth boat when the 1SU
pounder took his bait.. When the
big fiah was drawn up to the beat
the. angler found himself unable
to Jktnd It safely. The fish would
renew hki effort at escape and seek
safety under the boat as all wise
fish do, and tbo situation was be
coming desperate weu Mr. Bar
num used a smalt rifle to finish the
H1IUC,
The fish was sent to this city
for, aonnH;g.r nnd It will be
sent back to occupy a place of
honor la the Rocky Point resort
exhibit.
The lift pounder sraa 25 incbe
long, 1 Inch leas than, the length.
vUef, , Kir
Oakland last Saturday. It was 21
Inches In' girth, while 'the Bykea
catch was a fraction over 24 inch
es. S
The fish was taken with a light
road and spoon. Apparently the
big fellows are taking all kinds of
bait. Dr. Sykes used a boseerino
a rather fancy lure, to wnicn no
attributed t his success, but
Mr. Barnum used tbe plain old reg
ulation spoon.
Local sportsmen am confident
that the Sykea fish will take first
place In the Field and Stream con
test and tbe 18 H pounder has a
cinch on second honors. '
Doubted Mac's Ten
Gallon Capacity
Federal Judge Robert S. Bean
doubted if oven tho free life and
fresh air of Klamath county would
give any one aman a ten-gallon ca
pacity for mooaaaine. '
So when Ed McDonald, confess
ing to having a' ten-gallon supply of
moonshine In his automobile as ho
drove to tho ,Fourth of July cele
bration In Klamath Falls reojitjjv--n
Insisted In tho Portland court' that
be took It all for his own personal
consumption. Judge Bean expressed
a fear that, even though Ed might
have Intended, In alt good faith,
to moko himself the receptacle of
the full ten gallons, still there was
a bare possibility that maybe a
quart of two might have gone as
tray and found Itself underneath
some other belt. All of which cost
Ed S400.
