on 17th In&t.
Some ten days ago Elder S. H. Riley,
of the West Side, received word that
his home at San Angelo, Texas, hud
been destroyed by fire, cauBed by light
ning. The San Angelo Standard gives
'thejfolluwiug particulars:
"''The Riley home, Ignited at 6 :20 by
a blinding flash of lightning, waa to
TaTos7ln less than an hour, but it waa
possible to save about half of the
houaeholdQIfurnifchings. The six-room
tibuse waa valued at $1800 and carried
$1000 Insurance. The furniture waa
not Insured. The lightning struck the
roof of the house and the whole struc
ture was soon in flames. Owing to all
telephone service In the neighborhood
being put out of commission, a messen
ger was dispatched to the city to give
the alarm. The fire department re
sponded but was powerless to cope
with the flames and directed its atten
tion to protecting adjoining property.
In the meantime, neighbors of the
Hileys succeeded in carrying out alout
half of the household furnishings
which were later carried to the Dabney
and Schooler homea.
"S. II. Riley, owner of the proerty
is in Oregon, and Mrs. Riley was via.lt
lug at Chriatoval with a daughter.
Mrs. Bessie R. Lues, another daugh
ter, and her daughter, were the only
ones at home when the house was hit by
the lightning. Mrs. Lucas waa out at
the cowen milking. Hy the time she
aroused the neighbors, the fire had
made considerable headway and the
ctrnrta of those assembled were di
rected to saving the furniture from
the house."
Mr. Kiiey was In towr Saturday Btd
to an p.xamincr representative stated
that he was more pleased than ever
with Lake county, for no such storms
ever occur here. While regretting his
loss, Mr. Riley was greatly pleased
over the fact that none of his family
was Injured in the storm.

yesterday, and to an Examiner repre
sentative stated that the rails are now
being laid in Goose Lake Valley, and
that within a few days construction
trains'would Ikj operating as far north

half-mile stretches of grade to be

Lucky Runaway
Last Thursday afternoon a lively
runaway occured at the corner of Slash
and Main streets when a team belong
ing to Joe Ambrose, of the West Side,
became frightened and started on a
dead run up Main street. When the
McShane residence was reached they
t urncd and started back down the
street, but were stopped before they
proceeded any great distance. Fortu
nately no one was injured and a re
markalle feature is that with the nu
merous turns made, etc., neither horses
nor wagon were in the least damaged.

NewThoroughfareto High
School of Much Con
venience to Public
Wilcox Alley promises to become
us famous in Lukeview as Broadway in
New York or Market street in San
Fracnisco. From Canyon street to
CogBwell, a distance of nearly a quar
ter of a mile, there is no cross street
through the residence section between
Dewey and West Streets. Owing to
the fact that the new High School is
located on WeBt Street opposite the
closed section it has beep quite incon
venient to reach the building and
therefore the fact thut Mr. Wilcox has
thorwn open to the use of the public
the private alley on the north side of
his property, which fucea the High
School, will be greatly appreciated
by all. The alley will be the main
highway for students to reach the
building.
Enjoyable Dance
The Keemo Club dance held last Fri
day evening was very well attended,
about fifteen couples being present
for tho occasion. A buffet lunch was
served by the club members and the
many guests partaking thereof came to
the unanimous conclusion that the
Indies certainly put UP delicious meals,
as well as being swell entertainers.
This dance probably ends the series of
dancing parties held during the winter
months by tho members of the Civic
Improvement Society.
Many large eight-horse loads of wool
have been arriving in town during the

pounds per head.
SHEEPPOISONING
SEASON IS OVER
Hut One Case Reported
Thus Far
EXPERTS STILL BAFFLED
Unable toObtaln Any Clue, Owing
to Excellent Range Con
ditions ThU Year
Doctor C. D. Marsh, the physiologist
who was detailed here from Washing
Urn to work tn connection with the
Forest Service with a view towards de
termining the causes of so many sheep
dying each year. Sunday morning left
for Boulder, Colorado, where he ex
pects rti be stationed for a short time.
While here Doctor Marsh had but little
opportunity to make investigations
nlong the lines mentioned as but one
case of sheep poisoning, that of Ben
Daly, who lost ten head, has been re
ported so far this season, and the sheep
in question had been dead at least ten
days before the facts became known.
The cause of death in this instance
was undoubtedly due to poisonous
plants.
One reason given by the sheep men
as to the small loss among their stock
this season is that the feed both on the
desert and summer ranges is so plenti
ful that the stock simply nibble ofT the
tops of the grasses and do not pull the
plants up by the roots. It is in the
roots that the damage lies. Another
reason is that many of the plants eaten
by the sheep during the dry seasons
when vegetable matter is rather scarce
are now passed over untouched.
Mr. W. W. Eggleston, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, is still sta
tioned in these parts being now in the
Thomas Creek country. He will pro
bably be located here until about the
first of July, at which time he expects
to leave for Mineral. California, in the
Lassen Forest, on work similar to that
which he has undertaken while here.
BIG TIME NFXT
THURSDAY NIGHT
Local A.O.U.W. Lodge will
Have a Big Class
Initiation
On July 6, Lakeside Lodge No. Ill,
A. O. U. W., will hold a big class in
tiation in the Masonic Hall. There is
going to be something doing all the
time that evening, and it is a guaran
tee that no one will be disappointed.
Owing to the large number of appli
cations handed in the fireworks will be
touched off early, and the animals will
not be given anything to eat for two
days previous, so that they will not he
sluggish in their movements.
Ali members are requested to be , on
hand at 7:3o p. m. sharp, to dispose of
the business early, so that the degree
work can te put on in proper shape.
The residents of Lakeview are com
ing to realize that the A. O. U. W.
offers the best protection there is, be
cause they have a guaranteed rate, and
carry a loan, paid up, or extended
insurance value with it, the same as
the best old line companies, only a
great deal cheaper. You are not con
tributing to the bloated corporations of
the East when you join the A.O.U.W.
It is an Oregon institution, under the
control of the State of Oregon, and its
money stays in Oregon and does not go
to fatten the coffers of the millionaires
in the East. Investigate the plan of
the A.O. U. W you will like It.
The A. O. U. W. has been in Lake
view for 28 years and its best people
are numbered among its members.
Truck Gardener
If there are any doubters who believe
that small garden truck cannot be
raised successfully In this section it
would pay them to visit the plot of
ground at the rear of W. Roche Fick's
residence on West Street. Mr. Fick
had several hot beds near his house
during the winter, from which he rais
ed lettuce and other vegetables much
earlier than is usual hereabouts. Now
he has given up the hotbeds and i us
ing the open-air method with much
more than ordinary success. This is
practically an experiment on the part
of Mr. Fick, but it goes to prove that
this country, especially the Goose Lake
portion, is especially adapted to raising
small vegetables. There's money in
it. too.
Bliss Boys Injured
Chcwaucan Press: While playing
with twosmokeless powder shotgun
shells, two sons of Fred Bliss. Joe and
Pearl, met with an accident that may
cause each of them to lose the sight of
one eye. Not knowing the danger they
were running, they touched a match
to one of the shells, which exploded,
burning their faces severely and tem
porarily bilnding their right eyes. Dr.
William was near at hand, fortunately,
and he hurried over to lend his assist
ance. It is expected that the injured
eyes will be quite blind for a long time,
possibly permanently, but the doctor
stated that they may eventually re
cover. Both lads are suffering severe
pain.

LAKEVIEW, MECCA
FOR MEMO MEN
Cet-Together Party Com
ing Next Month a la
Bend Boosters
Arid now Medford wants to follow
the example set by Bend and cultivate
the acquaintance of Lake county. The
announcement coming from there is to
the effect that the Commercial Club is
preparing to run an excursion to North
ern California 'towns. Klamath Falls
and Lakeview in July. In connection
therewith the Medford Sun says :
"A four-day business excursion
through Southern Oregon is being
planned by Secretary Boos of the com-
merical club, to be held during the
middle of July.
"If the venture meets with the
approval of local business men, a
special train will be secured, with a
Pullman, diner, etc.. and the trip ad
vertised through the districts to be
visited.
"Ashland. Hornbrook. Montague,
Yreka. Weed. Mount Hebron. Dorris,
Klamath Falls and Lakeview are the
places planned on the itinerary, and
stops from three to twenty-four hours
will probably be made.
"We want to make this a get-together
trip for all the towns of South
ern Oreogn," said Mr. Boos yesterday.
"Medford should get in closer touch
with the business men of the district
through which this city is destined to
be the distributing point. There is
no better stimulus to commerce than
friendship and acquaintance. More
over. Medford has grown so rapidly
during the past few years that there
are many merchants here who scarcely
know their brother dealers. This trip
would make closer friends of the
business men and would be of lasting
benefit as far as the trade relations
with other towns in this part of the
state are concerned. The only way to
know conditions in other parts of the
state is to know the people and the
country."
Signboards For Forest
A number of signs are now being
painted by the local Forest office and
when completed are to be posted along
the various roads throughout the For
est as well as on the Ranger Station
sites. The 6igns are board ones, about
12 inches wide by 33 inches long, with
white back ground and black letters.
In addition to stating the various
towns in tne vicinity. Pearby ranches,
eto., the signs will give the approxi
mate distance to the places mentioned,
and will have the usual arrow pointing
the direction. Something of this kind
would be of much assistance to strang
ers if posted along our main roads and
might to some extent do away with
the various exaggerated estimates of
distance, which we hear from time to
time.
