B. Aer, onairman of Gover nor West's harmony good roads commis sion, Relieves a basis haa been supplied in the enactment of four of the "Mar mony" measures for satisfactory but conservative legislation by the Legists ture this Winter that will give to the state a safe and definitive plan of pro cedure in the wholesale construction of permanent roads in every county. Mr. Ayer, however, advises against the enactment by the Legislature at thla time of any measure that will in clude the issue of bonds by the state tor road i uilding. "The question of good ruads, which baa been agitating both the Legisla ture and the people for several years, !s now in a position to be settled in a aatlsfaotory but conservative manner," said Mr. Ayer In The Oregonian: "Nine road measures were submitted to the people at the recent election. Four of these measures were funda mental and their passage was necessary to any future good roads legislation. Fortunately thoae four bills were ap proved by the voters. The other five measures rcpresentiag different viewa aa to the best mesne of securing good roada, were all defeated. "An analysis of the vote on these different measures shew plainly the attitude of the poople upon thia ques tion. Two of the nine measures sub mitted were constitutional amendments giving the atata and and all ita tributariea.

After the completion of the annex to tha First Naticnal Bank building, in which the PostofTice wit formerly located, the light was very poor. Besides It was necessary to receive all incoming mails through tba lobby of the office and the same was true in delivering the out going mail. The present quarter are well lighted and convenient in every wsv. In front ia located tha general delivery window as well a tba money order department, while diagonally across the room to ward the rear are located the lock boxes. In the rear ia located the Poatal Saving and registry depart ment. The lockboxes are all conven ient of accea, being located in a strong light, the aame being true of all departments. Mr. Ahlstrom baa a sufficient space for confectionery and notion store, all oelng oonveniently arranged. , Part of tba present equipment will b replaced In the near future and a number or Iocktox aodd. A soon a the new equipment ia in place the cornice and other work will bo corn- finished in a Tbe office As there aro many persona claiming water righta in that territory these will be important meetings. It is expected that State Engineer Lewis will be here. and while at present it is a little incon venient for tbe majority of tbe busi neaa bouse we will soon become ae customed t tb new location and for get It was ever located elsewhere. A space I reserved for tbe parcel post Department which is to oa insu gurated tbe first of January 1913. I n expected that this branch will cause eonsiderstla mora work foi tbe poet office force, the extent of which can not be determined until It is in effect. All tbe present key boxea will be re placed with combination boxes which are much more convenient than the old atyle. A new pos'al and registra tion cabinet will !e Installed in the rear, as soon as received. All windows to the different department will be of gla-a, lettered to indicate when closed Among the nxtures to be added are tbe letter and paper oases which will be of benefit to expedite tbe dietribu tion of mail. The spacious Are and burglar proof vault lends a most valuable aaset to tbe office, . and insures ssfe keeping of moneys and documents. A lavatory room and aamtarv toilet la also pro vided for the convenience of employes. The Lk.f ;ow post office probably trai. ;l4 m(C2 business than any other third clasa office in the ststa and it ia surely deserving of such convenient quarters. Postmaster Ahlstrum ia very ptoud ot his new loos' ion. and be ia to be congratulated upon getting such a splendid poatoffice for Lakeview. tbeir aui ors than they did to get legia lation based on the four measures that were oaseed, and it was a foregone conclusion that they would fail of ap proval, aa they were conflicting and no sane person could have thought that there was any pnBsibilty ot their being suocessfu "The people after having passed the fundamental measures noted above have, simply put the question of en acting proper bills up to the Legisla ture. and I think that the work beiore the Legislature is perfectly clear. The Legislature, in my judgment, ahould not pbbs a state highway bill that carries with it the issuance of bonds. "While it ia true that the people changed the constitution and authorized the issuance of a limited amount of bond for road purposes, I believe it Is not their desire that bonds should be issued at tbe present time, but that a moderate beignning snould be made and the question left to the future to determine whether bonds should be is sued or not. "If, therefore the Legislature would psas a hill creating a state roan com mission, composed of tbe Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer with authority to appoint a highway engineer to act in an advisory capaaity to the entire state, and also transfer to this highway commission say three- fourth of the funds derived from the the countv the I vehicle tax. it would give them ap- right to issue bonds for road purpose, ' proximately $00,000 a year enough if I but limiting tha amount to 'i per cent of tbe valuation. Both of these me- ures carried by substantial majorities, and I believe that tha vote on these measures may be taken as an Index of public sentiment regarding good road legislation. 'Ihn bill authorizing tha use of the Btatu convict on read work and the other authorizing tbe use of county prisoner on road work roth carried by Urge majorities. "These four measures formed a basis for futuro legislation, and it was abso lutely necessary that they should have tha approval of the people in order that there ahould be no question aa to the attitude of the atata in tbe matter. "Tha five bills that were defeated represented mora largely tba ideas of ' applied to the employment of atate convicts to make a beginning in road work. "The people could then observe the operations of the highway commission and the usefulness of an engineer, and later determine if tbey wished to in crease their activitiea by the Issuance of bonds. "An enabling act ahould also be passed authorizing the counties to is sue bonds, providing the majority of tha people of the county voted in favor of ao dong. These two measures are all that are necessary to aupplement the bills paused at the lata election. The dUall of the bills should te tho product of tbe Legislature and not of the various Brood road advocates, who have been unable to agree in tha past." STATE GOVERNORS CLOSE CONFERENCE Resolutions Adopted For System of State Banks For Farm e r s The fifth annual governors' confer ence adjourned December 6 at Rich mond, Va to meet with Preaident Taft at Washington and discus rural credits and to meet formally next year at Colorado Springs, at a date aa yet undetermined. In its dying hour it adopted a res olution which in the opinion or rnanv delegates, sounds the death knell of the time-honored mortgsgeon the farm and presages the advent of a new finan clal era for farmers, the governors believe tbelr resolution will lead to tbe establabment of a new system of state banka governed by a uniform state law.

It ia said that tbey are making excellent pro gress and give promise of the making of a band that will be a credit to tbe city. An invitation is extended to all to attend tba rehersals, which ahould be taken advantage of and tbe boya given all tha enoouragement possible. The Rsy Kirkpatrick hotel near the N.-C.-O. depot at Willow Ranch was completely destroyed by fire early last Friday morning. The flames ori ginated from a defective flue, causing a hurried departure of the guests in their night robes. Very little furniture was aaved and nearly all the guests loBt all their clothing, and some had narrow escapea of getting out of the building with their lives. Tbe Willow Ranch hostlery was a large frame structure and one ot the largest, excepting the Fairport Inn, on the N.-C.-O. line. The loss devolves heavily upon Mr. Kirkpatrick and he has the 'sympathy of all for this sad misfortune. Four-Year Term Governor West has issued a certifi cate of election for Secretary ot State Olcott giving him a four-year term in the office of Secretary of State. A question haa arisen as to whether Oclott ahould be entitled to a tour year term or to a two year term. Tbe Governor decided in favor of the four year term, which Ollcott will serve unless the courts should decide he ia not entitled to that length of time in tha office. MANY ANTELOPE IN GUANO VALLEY Animals Should Be Pro tected Against Un scrupulous Hunters Mike Sullivan, tbe well known sheep men, waa In town tbi week from bis esnvp at Guano Valley. In eonverss Uon with an Examiner representative Mr. Sullivan atated that antelope are unusually numerous in that section, and tbat it ia nothing unusual to see GOO of tbem in a band. They art not at all wild and would fall aa easy prey to any one who deaired to shoot them. If (Jama Warden Fin ley would waka up to tbe fact tbat tbia section of the State ia in Oregon and that it ia the natural breeding and grazing ground of the mule tail deer and antelope perbapa tba animala might secure soma protec tion from trsppers. hunters aid mar auding Indiana tbat bava not the fear of tbe law in tbeir eye. Jt ia alleged tbat eity "sportsmen" make an annual foray on tbe antelope in Northern Nev ada and Southeastern Oregon during tba Winter time and alay many of tbe pretty animal. With proper protection there aeema to be no reason why tbe plains of that region should not again become the feeding grounda of manv thousands of antelooe. DRUMMER FINDS ' BUSINESS GOOD J. C. Eubanks Does Not Predict any Evil In New Admlnstratlon SUMPTUOUS MEAL. 23 CENTSA PLATE Domestic Science Class Entertains School Of ficials and Wives Not for many years have the roada been in so good condition at tbia time of years aa they are at present. As a consequence all stages are making good tlsae and the mails arrive on schedule titne. Injevery direction the roads are dry, hard and smooth, and that is quite unusual for the middle of Decem ber when the snows are generally pilod high in the raoantaina while in tha val leys they are generally rough and frozeu bard. In answer to invitationa issued by toe Domestic Scienee class in the Lakeview High School, the achool officials, together with their wives and husbanas, assembled in tbe office of the High School Superintendent, for a social evening. About eight o ciock announcement waa made that wa were to resort to tha dining room of tbe building where refreshment would be sewed ry the Domestic Science Clasa Tbe class ia composed of twelve young ladies ranging from sixteen to twenty years of age, and have had about two month work in tbi new brunch ot achool work. I be dinner party, included the prin- ipal as host and Miss Fletcher as boat- ess, numbered twelve. A six course inner was ssrved and to say it was good does not begin to do justice to tbe splendid repsBt. The arrangement of the table was nique: the disbea delicious; the ap pearance of the rooom elegant and the service simply perfect. Nothing was omitted that would add to the pleasure and satisfaction of the guests. At the close of the dinner the class was requested to appear in a body, which tbey did, and Dr. Daly, chair man of the school board, whs asked to express to tbe class and tbeir teacher our appreciation ox the sumptuous feed to which we bad been served. This the Dr. did in bis usual happy manner, and were it not lor limited spaoe would be worthy of reproduction. Tbe preparation and the serving of tbe dinner was wholly the work of tbe class, and for this too much credit can not be given tbem. In the training of thia class Mra. Gardner has proven tbat sbe ia fully qualified to till the position to which she has been chosen. Tbia ia tbe first, but we hope not the last, demonstration of tha working of the Domestic Science department in our High School. In all, guests teachers and class about twenty six person were partak er of thla bounteous repast at an ex pense of about 23 cents per plate, (-counting the supplies at the average market rate. But aa some of tba eup- pliea were contributed by members of tbe class the real outlay in money was about 7 or 8 centa per plate. Tbia is mentioned that one may reflect upon the inexpensiveness of a splendid din ner when prepared under proper super vision. One of the guests. Tbe Antlers Club met Tueaday even ing to perfect organization, but owing to the non-arrival of certain necessi ties final action wa postponed. 3. C. Eubanks, the well known trav eling man, paid Lakeview a bosineaa visit tbia week. He cover all of tha northern part of California and South ern Oregon, although limited time pro vented him from visiting Paisley and other places in tbi section. Mr .Eubanks waa a strong supporter of Colonel Roosevelt during tbe recent Presidential campaign, and. when qaee tioned aa to tbe effect on Dual neaa of tne election of tba Democratic nominee, stated that In bia opinion Mr. Wileon'a election would cause no detri mental change in business circles. So far aa bia buaine waa concerned, that of selling bats, ha nnda it good, al though eolleetiona are a little alow. Salea are exceptionally good for tbi time of year, considering tbat business men generally are buying aa 'loeely aa possible. However, they bava beea doing that for tha past year, and as a consequence tbeir stocks are quite low. The general expectation tbtt has pre vailed throughout the Nation during tbe past two yeara haa permitted the business world generally to ao adjust it affairs that it la doubtful if any very great depression can ensue under any circumstances tor two or tbrea years. Should the Democratic adminis tration make any very great change in the policy ot the Government, tha results, either beneficial or otherwise, are not likely to have any effect in thia aection for at least a year or so. PARENMTACHERS ORGANIZE CIRCLE Meetings to Be Held Every Month and Much Good Accomplished One of tbe best steos to increase tha proper school sentiment was taken last Saturday evening when the teacher and parents of the Lakeview achoola met in tbe assembly room of the high school building and organized a Parent Teacher Circle. The Circle was or ganized by electing Prof. Gardner, president: W. R. Bernard vice presi dent and Mies White, Secretary. Reg ular meetings of the Circle will be held on tbe evening ot the third Fri day of each month, at which all parents are invited, and it ia hoped tbat at least one of tbe parentB of each family will join. These circles have been doing much to promote the child-welfare in many schools throughout the country. One of the best rnehns of properly rearing a child ia for the parents to te chums of tbe child. The co-ordinate work of. teacher and parenta will be shown and result in tbe uplift of tbe children and thus well pay for the time spent at these circles. There are many things to be suggested at these meetirgs wnich we hope to speak of in the future. The meeting was preceded bv an in teresting program : Music bv Miss Col which was excellently rendered. A drill by four little girls Leah Beall, Fern Ahlstrom, Aenid Light and Ruth Steele. Tbey sang and acted "Coming through the Rye." They were trained and rehearsed by Miss Hall. Mrs. Cope land's solo was fine. Misses Fernard and O'Neii furnished one of their best duets. Mrs. Farrell, who is alwaya ready to help, sang in her best form. Tbe Examiner commends this oragniua tion to tbe public and trusts and feela that it'a one of the best circles in tha state. Presbyterian Meetings If you have not attended the meeting being held by the Presbyterian church at the M. E. Church you have been the looser. The strange sermons by Dr. Anderson and the gooi music bava eaused the attendance and the intetest to grow each night. Tuesday night Mrs. Fariell sang a beautiful solu. Last night Mrs. White ssng so e l ot only to clcase the auriiencebut to touch their hearts. Tonight Mra. S.rVh will sing an tomorrow Mrs. N..iin. .j dsy evening music will L t untitled by a ladies quartstte. .
