SECURES LAKE TRADE.
Klamath Merchants Boost for Good
Roads Over Mountains.

klamath Falls-Ranchers from the
Silver Lake section, in Northern Lake
county, are coming to klamath Falls
for their supplies. Already several of
them have made the trip of approxi-
mately IT'S miles and have returned
home with their wagons loaded with
povisions purchased from the merch-
ants of this city. The one drawback to
getting all of the trade of Northern
Lake county is the poor condition of
the roads. At this season of the year
it is possible to travel over most any
kind of trail, but with the first light
storms the roads become practically
impossible. Northern Lake county is
anxious to do its trading in this city
and the merchants of that section are
willing to have their freight shipped
via klamath instead of Shaniko, the
way it has been coming. The distance
is about the same, but the freight rate
is lower. 1t is very likely that steps
will be taken by klamath county to
improve the roads to this isolated sec
tion, so that the vast territory in the
remote parts of both Klamath and Lake
counties will be enabled to get all their
supplies from klamath Falls.
This city is so situated that the ar
rival of the railroad has made it the
natural distributing center for all
Southern Oregon. The only drawback
is the road question. klamath county
is now prepared to build good roads at
reasonable cost, but the county is too
large to construct highways in every
section in short time. The opening
up of the Lake county traffic to Kla-
math Falls also makes an opening for
Portland wholesalers, who will have to
hustle in order to meet the competition
of Sacramento and San Francisco.

Activity in Gold Mines.

Grants Pass-There will be much ac-
tivity among Southern Oregon mines
this fall. Many mining men looking
over the field in order to obtain good
options on some of the best paying
property. In conjunction with this
movement on the part of buyers, some
of the owners are introducing the dia-
mond drill. One of these machines ar
rived this week to be used upon the
property of the National Copper COM
pany, located II miles from this city.
1t is understood that the Buckeye group
of mining claims will also have a ma
chine of the same kind here within a
few days to make tests on their prop
critics which are in the same neighbor-
hood.

oregon STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
ENGLISH CROP SMALL.
British Grower Tells Method Of Hop
Cultivation.


Salem-Davis Jones, owner of hop
yard of several hundred acres in Wor-
cestershire, England, and one of the
largest growers in that country, is in
the city, the guest of Jack Carmichael,
a prominent Oregon hopman.
Mr.. Jones made the interesting state
ment that English and continental hops
will not be as heavy crop as last
year, and that from present indica-
tions English hops will command at
least 80 cents in the market. Last
year there were $4,000 acres of hops
in England, and this year only 1000.
Thirty cents is not considered partic-
ularly high price in England, for it costs
from 18 to 20 cents per pound to pro-
duce the crop.
The method of culture is radically
different than from that in use in this
country, and while it is expensive, it is
very thorough and effective. The
trellis system is used, with wire one
foot from the ground and another near
the top of the poles. To each of these
wires hooks are attached and the wires
are never taken down, the hops being
cut off and picked. This method of
course prevents crosse cultivation and
necessitates plowing in only one direc-
ii n The space under the wires is
worked by hand with hoes or forks.
Fertilizers are used extensively, the
usual quantity being about 20 tons to
the acre. During the cultivating sea-
son the ground is gone over about 20
times. The'spraying system used in
England is unique, consisting of a
main pipe four inches in diameter,
from which laterals as small as an inch
in diameter radiate in every direction
through the fields. On each acre there
are two taps for the attachment of
hose. The spraying material is forced
through the pipes by steam power.
Hops are washed five or six times with
about the same solution as that used in
this country.

and In less than an hour he had re-
stored her to her own.
One might imagine that when Du-
rant had been overwhelmed with
thanks by the girl. by her mother and
by the whole Kentucky colony that
was houseboating along the Jersey
covert that would have ended the
episode. But Durant had to take 1t
into his head for some reason or other
to personally see that the houseboat,
which the Wolverine had towed back
to Long Branch, was restored to its
original moorings. This task involved
innumerable trips over to the Ken
lucky colony. Then. after all, about 6
month later when the troublesome old
tub was being lugged into the covert it
collapsed right under their noses.
The girl and Durant were sitting out
on the point when 1t foundered, and
without rhyme or reason they laughed
like two uproariously happy children.
Why should they care II 1t did sink
now? They wouldn't have minded If
the whole old world had turned turtle!
Indeed, the universe might have col
lapsed and it would not have mat
tered. since they had become engaged.
II suppose we ought to feel sorry to
see it CO." said Durant. "for If 1t
hadn't been for that precious craft I
should never have found you. my
sweet girl, and that beautiful love

face all over right In broad daylight.
The girl smiled happily. frankly up
at him, and Durant. still looking at
her, commenced to realize what it was
that had been lacking in the social
merlngue Of which be was wearied
and how much more delightful 1t was
to have had the opportunity of striv-
ing for that essential instead OF hav-

Durant, who was looking at her, was
inclined just then to be almost jealous
Of Dandy.
He sent her into his mothers state
room and told her to take whatever
she wanted. She was glad enough to
avail herself Of long coat for the
trip ahead of her. When she reap
peared, refreshed, her hair done and
her face alight over the prospect OF
getting back to her mother and her
friends, Durant was immeasurably
taken with her looks and hc- pretty
ways. About all he could think of
then and for the rest of the journey
was that he had met two wonderfully
fascinating new eyes.
He hired an automobile when they
landed, lifted her into the tonneau,
