county is now assured as the result
of the closing of a. deal Tuesday

Adams of Grants Pass for the Lof
ftus tract of timber in the Crane
Lake district, fifteen miles east of
'Lakeview. The tract contains sev
eral thousand acres and is reported
to contain approximately ten mil
lion feet of pine. ; The -Grants Pass
sawmill men have been looking over
Lake county timber the yast week
and 'selected the Lofftus tract as
being best fitted to their plans.
:-. A mill of a daily capacity of 40
000 feet will be' constructed at once,
; the new- owners having left Imme
diately after closing the deal to pur
chase sawmill machinery. It is ex
pected to have the mill in operation
tor a considerable cut during 1 the
coming summer. Location of the
mill has not yet been -decided on,
though-it is understood that it may
be located in the -Crane- Lake ival-
Iey if a. sufficient water supply can
be obtained, otherwise it may be
necessary .to find a site on Camas
(creek. ' .
i,.f
The timber has been owned for
a number ot years by Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. H. Gibson of Warner valley.
. who purchased it from the Lofftus
estate. . The deal involves only the
purchase of the timber, the lands re
maining In the , ownership of the Gib
sons When they have been cleared of
the tree crop. . Details of the conl
slderatlon . in' the transaction were
ftot! madg known. '.
.' Application has been made to the
Fremont National 'Forest for three
sections : ot ' timber which contain
about 20 million feet, and the mat
ter of the deal has been referred
! to the District Forester in Portland.
The timber In question lies 6na the
east slope of the hills bordering the
west end of the drainage slopes of
Crane Lake and Is a fine stand. The
sale has been recommended by the
local Forest - officials, and it Is
thought the matter will proceed in
a manner - satisfactory . -to the ap-
plicants. -. ' , ... ., "
Edgerton - and Adams have been
long identified with the lumbering
. industry . In the Grants Pass district
where they have made a success of
milling operations on a scale similar
to that now under way here. Their
financial standing Is such that the
success of the local undertaking is
assured. , , .

MILLER'S PETS ALL
COME TO TRAGIC END
Southern Pacific Proves too Much
' tor Both Cuts and Turtles .
Adam M. Miller, Southern Pa
cific agent at Algoma, has been -hav
ing hard liick with his numerous
pets. During the winter Adam had
a pet mouse in. the depot that used
to play around his telegraph key
and skip over the keys of his typa
wrlter. Friend mouse got too famil
iar, however, . and invited all the
mice In and about Algoma to take
up their abode with Adam, with a
result that he could not keep enough
cheese around to feed them and the
mice began to-dovour pencils, clothes
and Adam's cigarettes. So on one
of his numerous trips to Ashland,
Mr., Miller brought home a nice lit
tle kitten to provide excltetaont for
the mice. The kitten "did his stuff"
and soon the depot was rid of mice,
but one .day the kitten was taking
a nap on. the railroad track when
the "Chlloquin Filer" whistled past
and all that was left of the mouaer
was a mass of mangled fur.
Adam began looking about for an
other champion and last week found
a friendly mud turtle by tho lake.
But It took only a slow moving
freight train to provide a tragic-end
for Mr. turtle. The freight was
bncking.:in'to the Biding as " tho tur
tle was attempting to lift-himself
over the rail and the result was he
was neatly beheaded, and Adam wa3
left mournfully gazing on tho life
less form of his latest companion.
r " STUCK IN THE MUD
" From a fishing party - driving
around Klamath Lako last Sunday,
we heard that an irrigation ditch
near Cherry creek broke and ran
across the road, making a. deep
mudhole the'night before, and from
the tracks somebodymiist have hajd
a very difficult job extracting their
machine.
. IN JURES TOE
Hap Brookfleld was setting rachot
at Wheoler-Olmstead Inst week for.
Blacky Goucher, who wa3 making
another attempt to go in after up
pers. ' The Wheeler-OlmStead car
riage is standard size, and Hap had
the misfortune to' get the big toe
of his right foot in the way of a
log . when : Blacky flipped it. At
least that Is" what Hap says. Blacky
declares that the log didn't touch the
toe, but that he sawed off the tip
of the shoo, and tickled the toe,
mistaking it for a knot, protruding
from under the log. ,
