Arrangement Pinaliy Reached That
Is Satisfactory To All
NEW DEAL IN TRANSPORTATION
The dove of peace once more flies over
the camp of the transportation com
panies as a result of the conference held
in San Francisco last week. No official
statement has as yet been issued, and
only indefinite information is volun
teered, but it may be stated positively
that the following will be the program :
Tile passenger traffic will tie divided
between the Oregon stage company ami
a new corporation that is to lie organ
ized out of the Navigation company, and
in which IV. R. Davis will be in control.
Thia company will have the boat end of
the proposition. If the stage company
buy* the equipment of the Lakeshore
stage company, then it will have no
competitor in the field, but if not, then
there will lie a stage line from both Po
kegam» and Grass Lake. The Cali-
fornia-Northeastern is not going to be
left out in the cold, for Davis has
adopted that child ami is not going to
disown it.
The freighting part of it is to be taken
care of by General Manager Abbott and
Capt. McIntire. These gentlemen will
practically have control of the Klamath
Lake railroad ami will forward all
freight direct to this city. This w ill not
shut out the Klamath Falls and Pokeg-
atna Transfer Co., but freight turned
over to this company may lie assessed
with forwarding charges the same as is
charged at Ager.
Until the California-Northeastern is
built a little closer there will lie no
staging from that point. Al) passenger
and freight traffic will center st Teter’s
Landing and come by lioat to this city.
Merrill will have a boat service from
this point.
EXCHANGES
[Lakeview Examiner]
The bazaar given last Friday evening
for the benefit of the public library and
free reading room, was one of the grand
est financial successes ever coming from
a like event in the town. Everything
worked out just as intended, w ithout a
hitch, and the proceeds amounted to
$300, beyond all expectations. The ex
penses of the affair amounted to $21.50,
which sum V. L. Snelling raised the
next day by means of a subscription
paper, so that the net receipts would be
an even $.’«K>, ami succeeded in raising

In response to the call for a meeting
of the people of this city for the purpose
of taking steps toward the organization
of a Chamber of Commerce here, a
number of our citizens met at Bauman’s
hall last Monday evening and after dis
cussing matters pro and con, Capt. O.
C. Applegate, who was present from
Yainix, addressed the people as to the
necessity of co-operation, in a few well
pointed and impressive remarks. At
the close of the captain’s talk, it was

It is practically certain that Midland
will have electric lights and telephones
within a very short time. When man
ager Gates of the Light ami Water com
pany was seen in regard to the matter
he stated that bis company would run
a wire from this city to Midland for the
purpose of supplying that city with
electricity. He was not in a position to
state just when this service would be
inaugurated, but said that it would be
in the near futurt.
When questioned ab >nt telephone
connections he said that service in this
respect would also be supplied. It has
not as yet been definitely settled wheth
er the wire would be run down the
right of way of the railroad, but this is
now under consideration, and as soon as
a decision is reached on this proposition,
work will tiegin.
It is the purpose of the Light and
Water company to supply residents be
tween this city and Midland with elec
tricity both for domestic and power use.
The water question is a serious one
for the town of Millland, but steps are
being taken to solve this, and an early
solution of the problem is promised.
There is only one spring near the town
that has sufficient flow to be considered,
but the owner refuses to either lease or
sell unless given certain concessions
that the promoters of the town are not
willing to grant. it is understood,
however, that tests have been made that
convinces those interested in the matter
that absolutely pure water can be se
cured by driving points, and this is the
method that will probably l»e employed.
Power for the operation of the pumping
plant will be supplied by an electric
motor.
The following statement of the con
dition of the Public Library will be of
