Company, was at the Portland yesterday and stated that his company's 200-mile canal, which will supply water to irrigate 00,000 acres of arid land in Klamath county, will lx? finished early In 190« and that water will lx- obtained for a portion of the land next year. ••We have over l«0 men at work now, went on President Hawkins, whiwe home is at Hollister Cal.,“ and are spending a go**! deal of money in Elamatli. as 'he store people will tes tify. Indeed, one of the principal storekeepers told me that trade would have been very quiet in his section just now had not he and other busin ess men lieneflted by the money we and our employes have spent in trade. Rut. once the watei I* turned on the land, there will be prosperity for ev erybody. “Land I* Helling now at *20 per acre and when irrigation works are completed we expect that the price will amount to •.56 per acre and high er. We will obtain water from the upper north lake by mean» of a tun nel 4000 feet, long, of which 2600 feet Is already conslriicled. We expect to complete the tunnel of five shaft* about New Year’s. Our canal, 200 mile* in length, consists of six branches.” Sunday’s Oregonian. JURY DISAGREED The jury In the case of John Sny der, charged with the killing of Geo. Potter,after being out fourteen hour*, could not agree. The case was tried last Monday and Tuesday at Yreka. It was the belief before the trial that Snyder would be acquitted but his own evidence hurt bis case, as be swore that he was mad when he com mitted the act. The jurymen stood nine for a verdict of manslaughter and three for acquittal. The killing for which Snyder was on triil occurred near Picard, In the Butte Creek valley,on the 16th of last June. Potter, who was married toa half-breed,ill company withan Indian named lioiiald McKay went to Sny der's house on that day, where he found the owner and Cubb McManu*. The four men talked togather f6r some titneand perhapsquarr'ded.when the evidence showed McManus went away and Potter re-e.ntered the bouse and attacked Snyder. Sentiment at Yreka has been strongly favorable to Snyder, and it is quite possible that the case will not come up for trial again. REGISTERED STOCK. F. O.
