THE ROCK CREEK ROAD
In its road repair program for the present summer
the county court could well take into consideration the
present condition of the Rock Creek road where the un
even corduroy at one point makes the highway dan
"crous to motor vehicle traffic. An autoist who return-,
ed from Rock Creek yesterday reported he had broken
his springs and ruined a tire in an attempt to negotiate
this particular portion of the county road. '
;Rock Creek is a delightful place for a week-end out
ing and many people would like to drive there were it
not for the present condition of the road.; It would take
but a small sum of money to make the needed repairs,
and the county court would do well to make the road
safer and better for automobile traffic. -
The Bradshaw mystery is over, but it probably won't
be long before another unusual story will soon emenate
from Klamath Falls to find front-page space in news
papers throughout the west. Whatever else may be said
of them, Klamath's peculiar crimes certainly give this
section plenty of free publicity.
'It was reliably reported that the California Elks, re
turning via Klamath Falls" from Crater Lake, ate raven
ously when they boarded their special train here last
night. The jolting they received coming in over the
Shippington road left plenty of vacant space for a big
feed." v." .. ' ' ' ,'" '"

WASHINGTON, July 17. Ex
rcpresenlatlve "Alfalfa Bill" Mur
ray of Oklahoma is 'disgusted.- He
writes from South America to
friends hero that the spirit of the
old-tiine pioneers is 'dead North
American breasts.
Some time ago Bill got a land
concession in Bolivia a tract the
size of half a dozen Texas counties
at least. His plan was to colonize
it with a lot of hard-fisted, tough-,
floored frontiersmen from the
"states" men - of the typo of the
by-gone "covered wagon" days.
A "Wild West," In short, was
what Bill was trying to create.
Ho loved the "wild west" in this
country while It stayed wild, and
pined 'tor; it as It began to grow
more and more domesticated.
Finally his yen becaino so acute
that ho decided to sec if ho couldn't
scare up n substitute for the real
old thing to satisfy It. , Somebody
told 111 in about the only uncon
quored wlulilcrness, which neverthe
less is a nice place to live In, was
to be found in central South Amor
lca. ,
. Accordingly, away, Bill jour
neyed to South America and hied i
himself, as nearly as ho could, to '
the center of it. ,, r j
There, indeed, he f .111:1 d a f Irst

bered so well a little hotter, per
haps, but all the better, from an
agricultural standpoint, for twelve
mouths, a year of crop-growing
weather.

- "Now," though Bill, "to got
some wild westerns to locate here."
For a "wild west" lias to be
something besides mere landscape.
Jo conquer nature, conquerors are
necessary, and conquest is what
"Alfalfa Bill" Murray lives for.
It isn't like the wilderness In It
self that he likes. The job of
taming it is what he gets his fun
out of.
Having done so, he's ready to
move on to a new. one, just as he
moved on from Oklahoma to
Bolivia, when the former got too
civilized for him.
"Nowhere else In tho world,"
said Bill to himself, "are there such
pioneers as ba'ck in the 'states,'
where I came from. Gosh! I re
member 'em in the old days! How
they'll jump at a chance to get
back to 'cm!"
He propagandized accordingly.
Ho offered extremely favorable
terms to the land-hungry, for it
was recruits he wanted rather than
their money.
Ho made pioneering sound
blamed romantic. He described
the country as a cross between a
garden of paradise and a store
house of riches, which was true
enough, but Bill rather slighted
the detail that settlers would
have to start fro mscratch on the
task of developing the " resources
he was bragging about.
1 Probably he took It for grunted
that as experienced frontiersmen,
they'd have sense enough to know
that without having it diagramed.
What Bill forgot was that the
old-timors he hud in mind either
were dead or mostly too old to

The Application
Sexton in his application seeks a
25 to 30, foot right of way from
Hornbroolc, a Southern Pacific
company station, to Happy Camp, a
distance of approximately 75 miles,
on which be proposes to construct
a' narrow gauge railroad with the
Grey Eagle mine beyond Hnppy
Camp as .its terminus. Sexton
claims to have completed a deal
with the owners of the mino after
four months of negotiations, to
transport 1,225,000 tons of gold
and copper ores already blocked out
at the mine.
Sexton's application, in part,
says: "For about 15 years I have
been general manager and part of
the time president of the Eureka
Nevada railway in Nevada and hav
ing disposed of the property have
been solicited to look into tho matter-
of providing transportation for
some 1,225,000 tons of ore from
the Grey Eagle mine to the South
ern Pacific. For the last four
months I have been looking into
the subject and have' about con
cluded if I can get a free right of
way, say about 25 feet,' through tho
patented lands along the Klamath
rivor from in the vicinity of Horn
brook to somewhere near Happy
Camp to undertake the construction
of a 30-inch narrow gaguo rail
way. Offers to Sell
"It may be possible that some
'tr . -
one will come ailing In a few years
and wish to construct a standard
gaugo Hue down the river and If so
1 will agree with the supervisors,
chamber of commerce or any one
else to let them have tho "line 1
would build for 25 per cent in ex
cess of what the narrow gauge cost
together with interest on the money
Invested at tho rate of six per cent
and let them, in addition, buy their
own right of way from the land
owners to make tho 100 feet that
is generally required, if I nm given
a free right for my line, not exceed

in most all cases.

"I would likb to have permission
of the baard of supervisors to use
tho old county line on the south
side of the Klamath river, where
the state highway Is in operation. I
would like to have tho proposition
considered by thoso Interested in
seeing the improvement made, as
provision will be made to handle
