The people ol Portland are fully aware that Crater Lake la one ot the world wondert and large delegation from there- will visit the park during the next few raonthi." When asked about the business con dition at the metropolis, Mr. Heltkem per stated that from talking with tome of tho largtit dealers In the city he gain ed the impression that conditions were Improving nd that In the past fsw in ThU we followed by one from W.J.

Many Inquiries Coming In The Chamber of Commerce, Is recelv I Ing many iriqulrjea Irom parlie looking for hornet on farms, Thete are coming I not only from thecltle; and agricultural , districts of the eait hut many are com ling from Washington, Oregon and other western slates. An eastern Oregon rancher wrltei asking Information con cerning this country. He states that 1 he has a .100 acre wheat ranch which he expects to tell. lie rays he is tired of .raiting wheat and wants a -10 to 80 acre farm where he can grow alfalfa, hogs and chickens and probably keep a few dairy cows. From the number of Inquiries being received It looks as If Klamath county will have no trouble In settling op ita urplus landt. The Chamber of Com merce is lining good work in helping to advcriltH this country and Is tending nut literature and answering correspon dence as well as they can, but the di rectors reallre that a more extensive plan of advertising is necetiary In order to get our share of the homrseekeri. Other towns and counties are spending more money with greater success. Every dollar spent is bringing twenty Into the country. The entiro rupport of the Chamber It asiistance to carry on the good work. If every clllien will.get In and dohia part, be that ever so little, the thing will be easy, and there will be no trouble In tet- lllng up this entire valley In the next two years.

At the afternoon teislon, Mr. Grltgby was the first witness. He was followed by W. K. Arant, who was (till on the stand as the Herald goes to press. The evldenco of both the witnesses wat mainly In identifying the two calves, and no further facta have been dis closed than were submitted at the pro llmlucry hearing. The court room has been packed all day but the main Interest teems to act- tie on the battle which the oppoalng Uwyort are putting up rather than on the evidence us lo who nvvnt the calf. i4tlSAMISi' The proof of the freezer The White Mountain Freezer makes more cream, better cream, and makes it easier ami cheaper than an other freezer on the market ' LET US SHOW YOU WHY ROBERTS HARDWARE DEALERS OUTLOOK GOOD FOR STOCKMEN Shortage of Beef in Eastern States WILL EFFECT PRICES Range About Same as Last Year With Prospects of Average Hay Crop Stockmen of thlt taction feel that this la to be a protperont year for them. While the scarcity of beef In the Last hat nu direct hearing upon thlt country yet in an indirect way It will effect the price of Klamath county stock. Horace Mitchell, in speaking ol the situation said: "The shortage In the beef supply In the East will have some effect upon the local market, and I think that this la going to be a good year for the stockmen of this eectlon. Much of the beef In Nevada and Utah that has beretoforo been going to the Western markets will go East because of the shortage and It will retult In an Increase of the price of 'I Western beef. It Is also very prob able that stock will be shipped to the northern market thlt year ami this will also make an Increase In the price." In speaking of the range condition Mr. Mitchell said, "I think the range la about the tame aa it was last year. Stock la looking pretty good and unless some thing unusaal should happen the bay crop will be np to the average."
