Wheeler-Olmstead
Re-Manufacturing Plant and
Planing Mill
That tho Wheeler-Olmstead company, plans this fall
to abandon its present practice of selling its output as
rough and box lumber and that the company will this
fall build its own planing mill and re-manufacturing
plant, to begin operation this winter or next spring, is a
persistent rumor in local lumber circles.
J. M. Bedford, manager
comment on the rumor. He
bo considered but that nothing had been definitely de-
ult'd as yet.
Should tho company build
manufacturing plant, it will mark another Klamath de-'
parture from the list of mills which originally sold their
entire output as rough and box lumber.'
With keener competition in the box shook game, it
has been felt inevitable that more and more will local
mills concentrate their efforts on producing finished
lumber m the higher grades and disposing of their low
grade lumber in the form of box shook, making the lat
ter purely a by-product.

Dear Miss Joynes:
Are women more faithful at a

chances of her being faithful would
be better If I were nearer.
Anxiously,

Dear Dr.n: '
Distance Is tho deciding factor
In all faithfulness, nnd proximity
In all Infidelity. The greater the

New Lake Open

Who Like Fish
Campbell Lake Open to
Anglers Today,
Is Word
Campboll Lake, jowe of the Up
per Chawaucan watershed, thirty
miles northwest or Lakeview, will
be opened to fishing July 15 to Aug
ust 15 this year, according to an
order of the Stato Game Commission
dated May 11. The lake, lying high
on the Deadhorso rim, was stocked
with trout provided by the Game
Commission from tho state trout
hatcheries three years ago by sports
men nnd forest service officials co
operating. Those fry have since
grown to good size.
Opening of tho lake was urged by
the Lake County Fish and Game
Protective association on the grounds
that the fish had grown to such
numbers that food in tho lake was
insufficient and It was tor this rea
son that an open season was allowed.
Campbell lake. Is easily accessible
by automobile and its shores present
ono of the most beautiful outing
grounds to be found In Lake county.
In addition to tho fine finning which
will no doubt be found ' here, the
surrounding country offers somo of
the best doer hunting In the county
and tho lake will no doubt be a
mecca for sportsmen ana tnoir
camping parties during the open sea-

From Lnkeviow the lake Is reach-

was In seRous traublo, with a less
a personage than the U. S. govern

in t)-ie woods,' to whom he seemed
perfo-tly normal, for the past six

Night after night ho spent at ttie

on his trusty typewriter. - During the

Believing with all the enthusiasm of
