PEOPLE LAND CRAZY
KLAMATH LAND OPENING
WAS VERY EXCITING
People Rode 60 Miles I'm Snowstorm
TO File on Timber Claims-On
Many Claims Were Six and Seven
Entrymen-Land Opened Was
Situated at Elevation OF $500 Feet
and Squatters Experience Many
Hardships.

Many are the interesting stories
told by those who were on the scene
of the rush for the timber that took
place south of this place recently Of
the peculiar predicaments and queer
circumstances in which some found
themselves after the excitement had
abated, says a Lakeview paper of re-
cent date.
The night was a hard one, espec-
cially for the women among the
prospective "squatters." The land in
question has an elevation of some-
thing like $500 feet, and naturally
snow falls earlier there than in the
valleys. which are from 100 to 1000
feet lower.
However, many of the land seek
seekers had not taken the weather
into consideration, and so were un-
prepared for the snow storm that
lasted all night, snow falling to a
depth of about six inches.
Many stood shivering around open
campfires, while a few more fortu-
nate tried to keep warm under the
shelter Of tent and thus they wait
ed for the hour of midnight.
The crowds naturally assembled in
groups around the fires and engaged
In friendly conversation. In some
cases they agreed to form in line to-
gether on the border of the land and
stare by the same watch. as IL was

ROADS IN BAD CONDITION.
Stock Trample Loose Rocks In the
Grades in the Southern Part of the
COunfv
County.

Burnett Brothers of Long Creek,
who left here yesterday with two
large loads of furniture, hardware
and groceries for their home in
Grant county are almost impossible
at places, on account OF the loose
rocks trampled into the grades by
the herds of cattle passing over the
mountains.
In places it was necessary to re-
move the rocks from the grade before
being able to pass with team.
The people of Grant county trade
largely with Pendleton merchants,
hope to see better roads leading from
this city into the interior. 1t is a
compliment to Pendleton merchants
and to Pendleton as a business center
to see Grant county people coming
here for a distance of over so miles
and everything possible should be
done to furnish better roads and mail
and telephone communication with
that rich section.

AUTOMOBILE TOPICS.

w. l. Edison. a son of Thomas A. Edi-
son. the great inventor, has taken the
exclusive agency In the State of Pennsyl-
vania for the Col runabout. Mr.. Edison
Is very enthusiastic over this new car, and
ticns for demonstration. The advent of
the Colt runabout Is still being discussed
in automobile circles, and it's early per
formances will be closely watched. A six
cylinder 40-horsepower chrome nickel steel
car, listed at 81 500, is certainly an attrac-
tive proposition.

and Saturday next Frank Lawwell, of
Vanderbilt Cup fame. and Harry Knepper
will alternate in driving a 50-horsepower

distance records for a single car from one

ing been made at the last Neutrality-suspicious.
race on the Point Breeze track, Philadel-
phia- In this connection it is Of interest
to note that the worlds record for a six
dav road contest. 1902 miles. made at Long
Branch In August, 1906, is also held by the
Frayer-Miller. In the method used to cool
its motor the FTayer-Miller differs radi-
| cally from any other car on the market.
1t may be described as a mechanically air
cooled car, insomuch that a draught OF air
generated by a blower-fan is made to pass
over and around the cylinders to carry
AWAY the excess heat. That this method
of cooling is most effective is shown by the
records of the Prayer Miller in long-dis-
lance racing. which affords the severest
tests to which motors can be subjected.
One DR.. Boozer was an official observer
i in a match race between a REQ and a
Ford runabout from Columbia, s. C.. to
Augusta. Ga. The distance was 100 sandy
miles, and the Ford won. Among other
reasons for losing. the REQ man explained
TO a local newspaper reporter "that his
brakes ran hot" and but for a jug of ice
water carried by DR.. Boozer the result
might have been still more serious. So
far, all right; but one wonders what a
physician of that name was doing with a
Jug of ice water in a race, and Is relieved
to know what excellent use was made OF
it. The further information contained In
the local report of this match race to the
effect that "Dr. Boozer was twice thrown
from the REQ car while trying TO see the
time by his watch is additional assur-
ance that 1t was only Ice water the doctor
wasted on those hot brakes

The Hills Grove events were holly con-
tested and were by no means walkovers for
Kellogg. The ten-mile handicap wes married
by a mix-up in which G. Gorke, of Brook
lyn. and Peter Cox. of New Haven, were
injured. Gorke was following Cox, about
one-eighth of a mile behind, when Cox
tumbled at the first turn in the seventh
lap. but recovered himself and started to
continue the race.
The dust hid him from Gorke, and both
riders went down from the resultant col
llsion with terrific force. Cox sustained a
bad scalp wound and Gorke's forehead was
bcut. a flap of skin two inches long hang
ing down. Neither went to the hospital.
Pickering. whose skull was fractured
