AUTOMOBILES ARE
SNEAK THIEVES VICTIMS

Many people in the city have been
suffering the loss Of articles which
have been taken from automobiles.
Among the articles that have been
missed are spark plugs. tubes. and
pocketbooks. 1t seems that some
person, or persons, in the city is
busy relieving the owners Of cars of
some of their personal property.
One evening recently it was report
ed that from seven automobiles ar
ticles had been stolen. while the cars
were parked at City hall square, and
the articles must have been taken
were attending thetheatre. In an
other instance, an automobile was
left parked in front of the Water
vile Savings Bank building for about
one-half hour, and during that time
a pocketbook containing large
sum of money, valuables. glasses and
mail matter. was taken.
Another incident occurred at the
station Friday afternoon. when it
was reported that one man who went
to purchase ticket laid his travel
ling bag on the floor. and when he
went to pick it up it was gone.
No clues have been learned Of the
guilty parties, but it is evident. ac-
cording to a statement of an officer.
that the work Is that Of amateurs,
and young ones at that. although
folks had better keep their belong
ings on their persons. if they do not
want to risk them in the hands Of
some thief.

Skeleton Believed
to be Lost Trapper

The skeleton Of man was found
Just across the line. in Oregon Sun
day by a party of picnickers from
Butte Creek valley, and 1t is thought
to be the remains of trapper who
lost his life in Lower Klamath lake
in the latter part of November, 1916.
Joseph F. Wetzel of Yreka was a
member of the party that made the
grewsome find.
The trapper who was lost two years
ago, according TO the Yreka News,
started from Lairds ranch in this
county to cross the frozen lake with
a sled to which a sail had been at
tached. Shortly after he left, stiff
south wind arose which broke up the
ice on the lake, and the supposition
is that the man made for the tules
at the edge OF the water and aban-
doning his outfit tried to walk thru
the shallow water. He must have
become exhausted, and on stopping
to rest was frozen to death, as the
skeleton was found in lying posi-
tion with one leg crossed over the
other lo1ca
The tules in this neighborhood
we're burned early in the spring and
no trace of clothing was left. A pair
of pliers and two pocket knives we're

tion was made by some gold bridge
work which had been done on the
mans teeth. The sheriff Of Klam-
ath county, Oregon, was notified of
the find. '''

Would Help Farmers
Of Southern Oregon

Much could be accomplished by
scientific agricultural investigation
and experiments in the Rogue river
valley, Senator McNary told the de-
partment Of agriculture in a number
of conferences he held with bureau
chiefs in Washington recently, con-
eerning rural development in Ore
gon. Experiments in the Rogue riv-
er valley, the senator told the de-
partment, should be conducted on
a comprehensive scale. He urged ac-
tion without delay, explaining that
some agricultural rehabilitation is
necessary in southern Oregon, now
that the speculators have taken mon
ey for orchards not planted on or
chard land and have flown to other
fields.
He reviewed the situation in de-
tail. explaining that there are many
splendid orchards in southern Ore
gon .sst that the entire section of
the state has been injured and many
Of the settlers discouraged by the
operations of the spectators in the
early stages of the intensive devel-
opment of the Medford and Ashland
districts some 10 or 12 years ago.
II is a country with a great future,
he told the department, but that
some FEDERAL aid of scientific
character is needed to help undo the
harm of the real estate Spectators
The situation is rapidly righting
itself, Senator McNary believes, as
is indicated by the fact that fruit
trehs have already been cleared off
large areas of land never suited to
the apple industry. 1t is probable
that the department will take some
steps at once toward helping the
FARMERS Of that district to improve
their conditions.

Saturday afternoon at an adjourn

contract was made on five-year
basis, the company giving up their
perpetual franchise in the city with
the exception of the lines that sup
ply the Belleview district, Nevada

This contract is considered very
satisfactory one, for the city, which
will be granted the opportunity to
purchase such equipment from the
company as desired at the present
value, to be determined by mutual
agreement, and the company will re-
move the balance Of its equipment.
The company will also waive the
amount of the present heat bills in
dispute, which Is quite an item In
favor of the city
Tha council is contemplating
providing a rate allowing for electric

opinion apparently prevailed with
some that special invitations were
extended to the guest list, and only
those receiving one were entitled to
take part in the banquet. This is a

perfectly welcome. The Civic Club

that no misunderstanding in regard
