MAKING READY IN KLAMATH,
Government Engineer Lippincott Now
On the Ground.


Klamath Falls - Supervising Engin.
eer j. B. Lippincott, for the Reclama.
tion service in California, and having
charge of the Klamath project, arrived
here Sunday. Mr.. Lippincott came to
Klamath Falls to clear up all prelim-
inaries and arrange for paying all obli-
cations against the government in con-
nection with the Klamath irrigation
project.
Several private companies were
bought out by the government officials,
or arrange ments were completed for the
purchase OF all conflicting irrigation
bitches put here previously by private
concerns, and though the payments had
been authorized by government, none
OF these private companies received
their money. This had caused con-
siderable speculation, and the coming
of Mr.. Lippincott, with the announce
ment that his mission here Was to
clean up all these claims, so that the
contractors awarded the contracts for
work on the irrigation canals could
proceed at once after the bids were let,
places all who heretofore had wondered
II the government would proceed with
actual ditch work in much clearer po-
sition regarding the future of the pro-
iect.

can machine In Maine has been
VIGOROUSLY corrupt and wrong,
very wrong, for number of years,
the members Of the convention

mention that Frye was the

stands by the G.. o. p. when il is
