For all the potatoes we have next

f'olorado always ha* a potato crop
and they have their own market iri
the great Rocky .Mountain mining re

River valleys were drowned out early
In the season and they have a short
crop, not. enough to supply the home
demand to say nothing of millions of
sacks required from that great potato
producing country for the south,
where potatoes will not ke.-p and are
shipped In just as needed.
A potato famine I* in sight and
many people will lie left without

per hundred next spring Is cheap
enough for lire seller and the buyer
should congratulate himself for living
In this, our land of plenty.

HAWKINS AT PORTLAND.
President C. N. Hawkins, of the
Klamath Cana! 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.
