the governemnt. these lands can be
made available for limitless contri-

republic and the compensation OF

them.
Intensive industrial develop

Man Seen On Streets
Officer Victor stated this morn
ing that he had seen the man at
times on the street, and Officer
lMorelock expressed a similar be-
lief. All stores in the city which
deal in guns were canvassed by
police this morning in an effort to
discover whether the man had
purchased his revolver in this city,
but nothing could be learned.
''If the mystery is ever cleared
up, expect it to be brought about
through newspaper publicity"
Chief of Police Welsh said.
Hotels and eating houses were
visited by police with a hope of
finding some clew. Nothing was
learned up to a late hour this
afternoon.
The mans body was found about
1880 this morning by grave dig
ger when he went to his work.
Roy Bohannon, sexton at the
cemetery, was notified, and he
called Coroner Clough. The bullet
1t was found, penetrated directly
back Of the right ear and emerged
about half inch lower behind
the left year.
Two Blanks Found In Gun
One shot had already been fired
from the gun before the man is
believed to have turned it on him
self. Two empty cartridges and
three loaded shells were found in
the pistol
The man is rather heavy set. He
was freshly shaved. The remains
are at the Webb & Clough under

into Lower Klamath marsh and

the marsh at the mercy Of fire

according to A. e. Bolton Of San
Francisco, owner Of 2400 acres Of
land in Lower klamath marsh.
Bolton has appealed to Percy A.
Cupper. state engineer to use his
influence with the federal recla-
nation service in an effort to se-
cure the opening of the straits in
order to permit of the natural
flow of the water onto the peat
lands which are now dried out and
threatened by destruction from
fire.
Lower Klamath lake, a part Of
which is in Oregon and a apart IN
California, together with Upper
klamath lake, in Lake county. was
ceded to the federal government
for reclamation purposes in 1905.
At the present time the right to
the waters of the klamath river
are contested between the Klam-
ath drainage district, organized
for the purpose of reclaiming the
lands in Lower klamath lake, ana
the California; Oregon Power COM
pany which proposes to construct
a dam for the storage Of the water
in Upper Klamath lake for the

into between the reclamation SER
vice and the power company has
been suspended through the ef-
forts of klamath post, American
Legion.

nation service for attention.
