Should such work be undertaken it would be by tne N.-0.-0. itself and the Western Pacific would have nothing to do with it. It baa been generally known that any time, tho merchants of Reno could snow us where we would secure enough ad ditional tralllo to warrant the expendi ture, this rond would immediately lay a broad guage track, but not until tnen."

It also shows clearly that it would be a wise and profitable investment. It would almost be justifiable for a creamery in the valley for local trade only. Several farmers here have signified their Intention of pending their sup port to such an Industry and have pledged themselves to take care of a number of eowa for the purpose. While It would be necessary to import some blooded stock there are some goou strains of cattle in thia valley that would make dairy cows. There re hundred of tons of hay in (loose Lake Valley that will remain unfed thia sea son. If this was utilized by dairy herds there would be a profit. There waa a party here last Spring who promised to furnish us a creamery, but apparently he haa forgotten his promise. The field is certainly good and the time opportune fur such an enterprise in this valley, and anyone looking for a like opportunity, it would surely pay him to investigate.

They have been living at Odessa, Klamath County, the past few jears. It will be remembered that Mr. Neff passed through l.akeview a few weeks since on his way to California to join his wife, who at that time was reported dangerously ill.

Mr. Prouudfoot left bis work in excellent shape, but should any qucbtlon arise relative to 4he stock interests Mr. Malloy should be promptly notified. ,. PRINTS THE NEWS- LAKKVIKW, LA K K COUNTY, EXPERIMENTAL STATION N.-C-O. ANNOUNCES INTENTION OF ASSISTING FARMERS Traffic Manager McNamara Visits Lakeview to Look Over Tract of Land North of Town With View of Colonization H. V. McNamara. traffic manager of the Nevada California-Oregon railway came up from Keno lai-t week and spent couple of days in Lakeview. Mr. McNamara gave out the Infor mation While here that the main object of his visit was to look over the land in this valley belonging to the Inland Em pire Company, whoBe 'headquarters are at Spokane, Washington, with a view to get the land colonized. The land involved comprises all of section 4 which lies about one mile north of Lakeview and is locally known as the Henry Heryford ranch. The hot mirer al springs north of town is on this property. Mr. McNamara stated that he had been negotiating with the owners of the land for some time for this purpose, but that it was only recently that he had received encouragement ot getting it. He will soon go to Spokane where he expects to complete plans with the company for immediate colonization of the tract. He also said that his railway com pany intends to establish an experi mental station in tiis valley to make demonstrations of various kinds of grains and vegetables so that new seeds can be introduced in this section. While he did not state wheie such a station would likely be located, it is thought that a portion of the land north of Lakeview will be useO for the pur pose. "We must increase our tonnage," said Mr. McNBmara,"and in order todo that the vast acreage of land in the OBSERVE SUNDAY AS MEMORIAL DAY B. P. O. Elks Will Hold Public Exercises Here December 1st The first Sunday In December is ob served by all mem t era of li.P.O. Elks as Memorial Day, and as such the lo cal members will observe next Sunday. Appropriate exercises will be held at Snider's Opera House in the after noon, commencing at 2 o'clock, and a n.ost cordial invitation is extended to the general public to attend. Prof. Darnell's orchestra will render several aelectoins. while Mrs. Jonas Norin and Mrs. Thos. S. Farrell have kindly con sented to sing solos. It is likely that there will be still other musical selec tions, while Hon. W. Lair Thompson will deliver an address. Owing to the fact that two local members of the Order, Hon. J. N. Wat son and W. J. Proudfoot, have passed away during the past year the services will prove especially interesting to the public, and therefore will doubtless bo largely attended. Reservation Timber Sold Tbe commissioners of the Indian affairs has approved the contract with the Chiloquin Lumber Company for the purchase of 1,500,000 feet of timber on the Klamath reservation The price bid was $5.2b per thousand. Since this sale was made tbe timber has been bringing S3.50, says the Klamath Falls Herald. The Chiloquin Lumber Com pany purchased several small tracts previous to this large contract direct from the Indian agent, who is permit ted to dispose of timter to the value of $100. Bales bringing a larger amount have to be first approved by the commissioner. A concrete walk has been placed across the front of the W. R. Steele residence on Center street. OUKOON, NOVKMBKK 28, Coose Lake VBev will have to be cultivated, and in order to do that we are going to assist in its colonization, and aid the farmers in demonstrating what can best be raised on these lands." The N.-C.-O. has some rich farming land at Fairport, besides other proper ties along its line. It has unbounded faith in the Goose Lake Vallef as was clearly set forth in their long move to get here. The railroad is capable and in a position to do much toward the de velopment of this country, and their a tions proe that they are eager to assist the. citizens in bringing such about. The announcement to give the valley a demonstration farm is f ft-r more importance than can at once be realiz ed. It is the one vital factor toward successful and profitable farming. And we have conndence that it will come. ! Ot course development of the country means increased business for the rail road, but such is only synonymous with prosperity for the country's citizens. Mr. McNamara also gave out while here that a reduction in the freight rates between here and Reno would be made, as v.'ell as in the pullman ser vice. While the rates may be consi dered exorbitant by seme, it is well known that they in no measure com pare with what we had to contend with before the advent of the railroad, and the officials give promise that such v,.il tie reduced from time to time, as tra ffic justifies, to meet expectstions of all. EXPERIMENT FARM PROVESMCESS Eastern Oregon Station Is Responsible for Doubl ing Crop Records That the experiment farms main tained in Eastern Oregon under the supervision of the Uregon Aer cultural College have accomplished as much as favorable weather conditions the past season in bring'ng record crops to that part of the slate is the belief of those in clone touch with the work being done. This statement is based on the fsct that crops raised at the experi ment farms and by farmers under the direction of college experts, yielded from 20 to 30 per cent larger returns than was secured under old methods. Special attention has been paid to growing corn and field peas, both crops being successful. Their great value to Eastern Oregon is that they improve the soil by keeping it freu from weeds if not actually adding to its fertility and besides, gives great encourage ment to the livestock industry, one of the most important assets of that sec. tiun of the state. Land Show a Success Portland people learned a lot from the exhibits from many parts of the Pacific Northwest at the recent land show. Agricultural possibilities were shown in a striking way and the wealth of the soil made a strong impression. The dairy show, too, opened the eyes of the city people. They learned that the show included dairy cattle of as high quality as were ever assembled in the whole United States. Such ex hibitions are valuable. They show what people are doing in the exploita tion of the state's greatest resources nnd attract many to these lines of activity. Portland has started a movement to make the land show an annual event. REACHES THE PEOPLE 1912. WORK CONTINUES AT HIGH GRADE Attorney Farrell Says the Snow Does Not Dam pen Ardor Attorney Thoa. S. Farrell Tuesosy vening returned from few days trip to the High Grade Mining distriat. He says the snow will probably aver age about one foot In depth over the camp and that this is rapidly melting. The snow wss about three feet deep at one time this Fall. Tbe Lucky Dutchman shsft, Mr. Farrel stated, wss down to a depth of 45 teet end tbe property is showing good values. Cook and Shepherd are operating a lesse on the Modoc shaft and at a 375 ft. level hs 'e encountered a four foot ledge of $10 rock. This is said to be a very promising property and gives indications of permanency. The Modoc shaft is now down 130 feet. A strong company is working tbe Modoc and they will continue until a 200 foot level is reached. The breast of the SunBbine tunnel is giving better showing as work pro gresses, and great hooes is entertsined for this developlne into a paying mine. Mr. Farrell savs five or six proper ties are beirg developed and prepara tions have been made to continue the work all winter. TREATY OF PEACE IS UNSUCCESSFUL War in Near East Is Hope lessly Renewed with Vigor Turkey and tbe Balkan allie? have failed to come to a peace treaty and fighting has been renewed with vigor. According to reports the war situation j has assumed more erave proportions than before discussions oi an armistice were entered. The extreme anxiety manifested by all European governments to deny re ports of warlike preparatious and to reDresent the political situation as peaceful and satisfactory is in itself an indication on how slender a thread the issues of peace and war in Europe now stand. The danger arises not alone from the conflicting fntereBt of Austria, Servia and the other powers but from the pos sibility that turkey, lollowing the traditional policy of profiting by the embroilment of the great powers, may adopt an irreconcilable attitude in the peace negotiations. In the diplomatic Held the most im portant reports are that Servia declines to reply to the Austrian demands until the war is concluded, and that Ger many has not undertaken to mediate between Austria and Russia. Fichtins continues around Adrian- ople, where the besieging forces are reported to have drawn their investi gating circle to within two thirds of a mile of the town. Elocutionist Is Bride Numerous friends and acquaintances of Miss Edith Howe, who it will be remembered wss in Lakeview this Summer shortly after the meeting of the Central Oregon Development Lea gue and delivered some pleasing en tertainments in the new high school building, will read with interest the following paragraph from the Reno Gazette. Miss Howe Is an elocutionist ot rare ability and she was greeted with very appreciative audiences here. Miss Edith Howe, the chsrming Keno eloontionist wbo has so many friends here, was married Saturday, November 16 in Salt Lake City to John P. Land at the home of the late Colonel Ellis. It was a very quiet wedding tut the decorations were bewildenng ly lovely as they should have been for so sweet a bride and afterwards the happy pair departed for their new home in Calgary, Canada. The Lakeview Lodge No. G3. I. O. O. F., Saturday evening held its regular semi annual election of officers. Thofe elected were: Noble Grand, W. P. Dykeman; Vice Grand, Kalph E. Koozer: Secretary, Gilbert D. Brown: Treasurer. Harry Bailey. The new officers will be installed in January NO. 48 A GLANCE ,HJR b;VAYS Lakeview Stores Sh n- terprlse By Mode. i Decorations The merchants bave some very clever window displays in Lakeview. The designs are attractive and neat, and by walking down the streets one can gals a conception of the high grade merch andise that is carried here. Tbe pio neer store of Bailey & Massmgill haa some very clsssy windows. The south side is devoted entirely to a display of good things for the Thanksgiving table, from linen down to the Mum'a extra dry bottle, which you are re minded by a sign, is not carried in stock. The north window is given to a com plete line of gentlemen's wear. The Lakeview Mercantile Company's windows are also neatly decorated with Thanksgiving eatables, men's wearing apDarel and Indies furs and muffs. Tbe windows of the Britten & Erick son haberdashery, as usual, arebeavily laden with an up to date assortment of everything in the gent's line. A. Bieber's north window contains a pretty exhibit cf ladies furnisings and dry goods, while the south window has a sample of everything suggestive to eat on today's national holiday. At the Lakeview Meat Market Mr. Hanson hss displayed bis ability in tbe sculpture srt by moulding a form of the festive ThankFgiving tnrkey out of lard and a mutton shank. Many other local business houses bsve equally as nice windows as those specially mentioned, and they are to be compllmen'ed on the interest they show in adding new displays and in keeping their window dressings up to the most modern standard. It makes a wonderful impression with the visi tor. REPORT OF GAME IN STATE MADE Lake County Has 1,500 Deer; 1.50O Antelope and 200 Bear According to the figures compiled by State Labor Commissioner O. P. Hot! for his biennial report there are 930 elks and 80,000 deer in the state of Oregon. It is estimated that Clatsop. Lincoln, Union and Curry cour.ties each have 100 elk, while Columbia has 80, Tilla mook 75, Lane 70. (irant. Baker and Umatilla 50 each, Wallowa 50. Douelas 25, Linn, Yamhill, Clackamas and Wasco 15 each, Jackson and Washing ton 10 each Harney 3 and Klamath 2.

As yet there seems to be no demand for it, and wnne a considerable quantity of it waa raised in the valley, the most of it ia stored uo awaiting a buyer. The cause of the lack of demand is attributed to the large crops ot seed rsiinl else where closer to iiui'kdt. While that condition may be maintained for a time the seed raised in this altitude will no doubt be given the prefere ice and te sought after later on. Thn quality of seed raised here is unexcelled and for growing purposes ia r.caily perfect, as experiments havo aiiovso tout i3 out uf every 100 seeds planted have germi nated and thrived.
