Animals Going Into Mountains In
Large Numbers.

Game Warden C. NJ. Ramsby and
Henry Stout, who is assisting him,
returned to klamath Falls Tuesday

Mr.. Ramsby states that the deer
are quite plentiful in the mountains
this year, and from information he
has received the woods will be full of
hunters when the season opens the
first of August. The deer, which
come down into the lowlands early in
the spring, are beginning to move
back into the mountains.

den, that it will be we'll for the
hunters to be careful and not to vio-
late the deer law in regard to does,
for if anybody is caught with a doe
they need not be disappointed if they
should have to return to klamath

fore the justice, because we want it

to be no violation permitted of the

says:
1t was not until five months ago
that Roosevelt made the so-calIed

Ignoring the issues of progress

aroused subordinated e,.-ything to

WILL CLIMB
MT. ASHLAND
SlSkIYOU CLUB MAKING UP
LARGE PARTY.
TO REACH SUMMIT AT SUNRISE
Plan is to Leave City Saturday After
noon and Evening, Making Trip
From Longs Cabin BY Moon
light.

The Siskiyou Club of this city is
laying plans for the ascent of Mount
Ashland next Saturday night, the
party to leave here in the afternoon
and evening, going as far as Longs
cabin in two divisions and making
the balance of the trip to the summit
by moonlight. A cordial invitation
is extended to all who wish to join
the party, which already is quite
large.
The plan, as outlined by the club
officers, is to leave Ashland in two
parties, the first starting at 2 in the
afternoon by foot and proceeding as
far as Longs cabin, where they will
rest until midnight. The second
party will leave by team about 10
o'clock in the evening, driving to
Longs, where the two parties will
combine and proceed by moonlight
to the summit, arriving in time for
the sunrise, which is the most beau
tiful period of the day. The view
at this hour is said to be magnifi-
cent. The return will be made leis-
urely toward evening, Sunday.
The full number of the party will
be known the latter part of the week.
Already more than dozen have sig
nified their intention of going. The
number is not restricted. All desir-
ing to go should notify either C. B.
Watson or F. c. Routledge, who have
charge of the expedition. Arrange
ments may be made for as many as
desire to go by team late Saturday
night and similar arrangements for
the return trip by speaking to the
above named gentlemen as early as
possible Arrangements must be
completed by Friday evening.
The trip by night will be easy on
account of the cool air. The moon
will furnish ample light to make the
going safe. From Longs cabin
those who have horses may take
their own gait, while those who go
afoot must submit to the rules of the
party and follow the leader. Either
Mr.. Watson or Mr.. Routledge will
take the lead and will set the pace as
he thinks the party can stand. stop
ping to rest whenever it is thought
necessary. A telescope will be car
ried and everyone will be given an
opportunity to view the wonders of
tie surroundings. No arrangements
will be made for meals, everyone be-
ing responsible for his own lunches,
but there will be the usual camp cof-
fee pot.
The trip promises to be a pleas
ant one. The party will be made up
of both ladies and gentlemen and
jolly good time is promised. 1t is
desired that all who wish to join re-
port as early as possible in order
that definite arrangements may be
made.

A pair OF robbers entered the
homes of Councilman Sanderson on
the Boulevard and NJ. S. Van Leer an
North Main street early Sunday morn
ing and succeeded in getting away
with watch from each place and
some money from the Van Leer
home. The robberies were commit
ted after midnight, the marauders
entering through windows and per-
forming their work so skillfully that
no one in the house was disturbed.
The families in both cases sleep up-
stairs and the robbers confined their
operations to the lower floor.
In the Sanderson home n gold
watch and revolver were taken and
in the Van Leer home a lady's gold
watch and SIS in money. In the
former case the robbers found a
charm with Mr.. Sanderson's initials
attached. This they dumped, togeth-
er with the revolver, in the alley at
the rear of the house Mr.. Sander
son did not know of the robbery un-
TIL the discovery of these articles led
to an investigation.
