Most of t e Homestead and Desext

one an Idea of the large number of
people who are oomlug into thia sec

taking up Government land. But
few of the entries are made for spec

bona tide residence on the lands ac
quired and making the same their

It Is estimated that there are at

Oswald West, Governor, and Legls
lative Assembly Down to Work
THOMPSON ACCREDITEB AS WHOLE POSH
People of State are Now Hearing of Lake County
--Governor Opposes Pendleton as Site for
Branch Insane Asylum
The Legislative Assembly ot the State of Oregon is
now in full swing, Oswald West is Governor, and every
thing is going along swimmingly. At least such is the
ease with all but a few insurgents who were disgruntled
because Laton ofLane did not land the speakership of the
House. Lake county's representative, Hon. W. Lair
Thompson, has been sure heard from already, and if the
aforesaid insurgents are to be believed, he is about the
whole push. Contrar3' to the impression given out by
the Associated Press correspondent at Salem, there was
no linenp between the "standpatters" I tor refused to reaisn, whereupon he
und Statement No. 1 people, and in
supporting the successful candidate
foi Speaker Mr. Thompson proved
bin,self in accord with the voice of
the people as expressed at the polls.
After his defeat for the Speaker
ship, Eaton did not realize what had
happened him and bethought that by
"insurp.ias" be would have enough
sorehead followers to enable bim tc
take from the Speaker the appoint
ment of the coruHiittees, but io that
undertaking he also marked up an
other failure to bis credit, for the
House defeated tha proposition by
a larger vote than was cast for Speak
er Husk.
About CO bills were intiodnced in
tbe legislature before adjournment
la.t week, which is a n ucb smaller
nnmber than usual. While perhaps
all were of more or less Importance,
yet rone of them appealed to the
Examiner as being of much interest
locally. Aside from the naming nf
the new State Land Ageut, perhaps
tbe most interesting happening was
tbe removal of Dr. PUmondou. aa
superintendent ot the braucb insane
asylum to-be at Pendletou. The doc-
MONEY ORDERS TO SICK HAN HAKES
SOON COST MORE! A QUICK GETAWAY
i
Another Step Towards John Pfluger Suddenly
Decreasing Deficit In j Disappears Last Tues
Postal iDep't I day Evening
Foreign money orders bought In
mericaB postottJces will cost more
than for some time previously, as tbe
result of a new regulation Issued cy
tbe Postmaster General. A copy cf
the uew regulation just received .here
ny Postmaster Ahlstrom shows that
an increase of from b0 to 100 per cent
has beeu made in the money order
rate. It applies to all foreign coun
tries, two classes being listed, which
have a slightly varying rate for small
amounts.
For a long time the obarge for
money orders to foreign countiies
waa 11 per hundred, with a pradunted
scale for rmaller amouuts. About
two years ago a out was made in this
rate to something like 50 per cent of
the. old figure. Now a raise has been
made, wbloh restores the charge to
something like its old figure, with
even an increase over that in oeitain
cases. The new regulation Is to go
into etfecc after Februarr 1.
Funeral of Mrs. Kimsey
Owing to the severe storms of last
week tha remains of the late Mrs. M.
E. Kimsey, who died at Sacramento
on the Gtb inst., did not reach Lake
view until last Friday. Tbe funeral
was held Saturday afternoon, tne ser
vices taking plaoe at tbe M. E.
Church., A large number of friends
were in attendance, and I he sympathy
of all went out to the bereaved fam
ily and relatives.
Lakeview Flour 13.50 per cwt. J 26
was summarily removed by Governor
West and State Treaenrer Kav, their
reason being that at this time the
services of such an official were un
necessary. And then on top of that Governor
West on Monday sent a message to
the Legislature protesting against the
site selected at Pendleton by his pre
decessor. When Pendleton was
selected there was a howl went op
from every other town along the O.
R. &. X., and now that Governor West
baa protested the site already chosen
the people of Pendleton will no doubt
sit up nights whetting their knives
for the Governor's scalp.
When the Legislature convened
I Monday
afternoon there was a hot
time in tbe house for a while. All
sorts of charges had been made
against Thompson by Eaton and hla
followers, presumably for tbe reason
that Thompson had thrown his sup
port to Rusk instead of to the man
f oui Lane. Tbomps:n took tbe floor
and made things hum for a time,
speakiog directly to the point and
snowing the fallacy of tbe conteutlon
Continued on eighth pa
John Pfluger, who has bsen stop

for some time past, disappeared Tues

was Instituted yesterday but no traoa
of the missing man could be found.
Inquiry was made over a'd the tele

He is about 0 feet in helubt, dark
hair, smooth shaven aud weighs about
180 pounds. When hs disappeared he
was wearing a dam suit of clothes,
soft bat aud white shirt and collar.
Just as tbe Examiner went to press
word was received that Mr. Pfluger
had been found at Valley Falls in a
demented coudltion.
Pleased With Lakeview
I. M. Gettemy, a former resident
of Rookford, 111., stejped Into our
