BUILDING OF NATRON ROAD IS
TEMPORARILY HUNG UP AND
THE PRESENT SURVEY ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS MAY BE ABON-
DONED.

Il is the belief Of some railroad
men that the contracts for the bal
ance Of the Natron cutoff, between
where the present grade is being con-
structed and the klamath Falls ex7
tension, will not be let for some time
10 come. The reason for this is
based ON the fact that the present
line cannot be finished In time to get
the other work under way before
the fall rains set in. Much trouble
is experienced with landslides, and
in several places the new road will
have to be rebuilt. Two OF the tun-
nels are complete, but the third one
still remains unbulsned. Before
work could be begun. on any further
contracts it would be necessary to
complete the present line the whole
distance and lay the rails, othat
camps could be established at the
base of the new contract. This, the
railroad men say, cannot be done un-
til we'll after the middle of the sum-
mer, and too latte to begin any new
work economically.
Already activity has begun on the
completion of last years contracts.
Five contractors have re-established
their camps. These are Sweeney
Roland, Hunt, Sumison & Smart and
Watts. A shipment of 200 men Ii
expected this week. H. Bender, who

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
OWYHEE BREWERY

The new cellar Of the Owyhee Brewing
company, which has been under CON
struction for some time, is taking on an
aspect Of a cellar. AT first there were but
four walls about half destroyed; now two
Of the walls are completed and the other
two are growing fast.
1t looks like there is something doing
here when the capacity OF the brewing
plant is so taxed that new cellar must
be built. This new cellar will double
the capacity. With this added tank
capacity the beer will be allowed to age a
little. This is not the case now, as the
beer is taken as fast as it is made. The
plant is working overtime and still the
demand cannot be supplied.
Fritz Schleifer, who is the president,
vice-president, secretary, manager, fore
in fact, the whole business-of the COM
pany, has made many improvements
since he secured the brewery. He has
enlarged the main plant, built bottling
house, installed delivery outfit, and j.
now enlarging the tank space by building
this new cellar Ii Mr.. schleifer could
only get his product to the railroad towns
at a reasonable profit, town other thar
Milwaukee might be made famous by it,

can at present and it is too bad it can no
spread farther. Fritz macht gut Bier

JOHN NowLAND

At the Coroner's inquest over the body
OF John Nowland it was determined that
he had met death by being shot by Jess
Lawson. Lawson was brought before
Probate Judge F. S. Heer and bound
over to appear before the District Court
at the next session and admitted to bail
Of $4,000.
The evidence brought out at both the
inquest and preliminary trial showed that
two very different stories we're told. The
public are asked to suspend Judgment
until the full facts are brought out at the
trial.
Jess Lawson will soon be out on bail as
he has many friends who win stand by
him in his trouble.
We have known him for several years
and he has always been Of a peacable
nature and not man to get into trouble.
That he should have committed the act
without sufficient provocation or iusti-
fable grounds seems incredible to those
who were well acquainted with him.
John Nowland, the man killed was
about "a years Of age and had been work
ing for parties living in that vicinity for
a short time and but very little was
known about him. He, apparently was
of an aggressive nature and had mixed
up in the quarrel in which he had no d.
rect interest. The reports are that he
had made many threats and was abusing
the lawson women in vile manner,
when Jess stepped in to protect his
mother. The son who win not protect
his mother from abuse is unworthy.
Interment took place Friday afternoon
at Silver City.
