NO. 31 ELECTION IN NOVEMBER CONSTITUTIONALITY OF DAY BILL HELD VALID Eection Will Be Statewide to Vote Upon Petitions for Referendum on Various Measures Passed at Last Legislature Supreme Court Decides la reoent decision of Um Supreme Court in which tbe constitutionality of Um Day bill, providing for the special election to be held In Oregon this fall, was tested, the measure was held to be constitutional, thus reversing the decision of Judge Galloway. The opinion Is written by Justice Burnett, who holds thst the legislature can do anything which the constitution does not prohibit. The opinion Is based upon the principle laid down In the opinion, that "the legislature it self, acting directly, could rave refer red to the people any or all the laws enacted, and It is not perceived why it could not with equal propriety annex a j lawful condition to a referendum of I the ssme bills ordered by petition. J It Is held thst the act sufficiently states the messure upon whioh a vote will be so taken, that there was then actual material In existence subject to the referendum, and that it was com petent for the legislature to provide for the referendum of its own measures only. It is alio competent for the legisla ture to anticipate a condition likely to arise in the future and consequently ! BLIGHT DISEASE GETTING SERIOUS Only MetKod Is to Cut Diseased Parts From Trees. J.L. Hampton, deputy County Fruit Inspector yesterdsy csme down from Paisley to investigate the blight di sease which Is ssld to De quit preva lent in thia section. He Informs the Exsminer thst this affection is becom ing spread all over the county, and to day ha went to New Pine Creek to in spect the orchards there. The peer or fire blight Is the most serious of all the diseases which at tack the pear and apple. It is a con tagious disease of bacterisl origin, which, under proper conditions, msy sttack any psrt of the tree. Besides the pear and apple, the quince, wild crat-apple, and other trees are subject to attacks of the disesse. The blight is caused by a minute or ganism belonging to the bacteria and known technically as Bsccillua amy lovrua. It is a rod-shaped, motile germ which divides very rapidly by simple fission and is found In immense numbers in the diseased tissue. The germs ate minute and are visible only under the highest magnification of Hie compound microscope. Beginning in the spring the first ap parent damage produced by the disease in an affected orchards the bligntlng of the blossoms. 'Infection is brought about by insects, which after visiting a esse of holdover blight and becoming covered witn the organisms contained in the sticky exudation that develops under favorable conditions from old cankers in the spring, inoculate the flowers In their search for nectar. One of the moat fruitful sources ot Infec toin has been the pruning shears or saw. In pruning, if an autive canker is cut into, the tools become infected and serves as inocualtlng Instruments to spread the disease throghout the or chard. Inspector Hsmptoo states that the only method for treating diseased trees is to cut out the diseased parts, gray ing is of no value as a control measure. Bummer cutting must be prscticod constantly. The trees should be fre- ' Continued on page eight to provide legal rulea applicable to soon a contingency. The opinion disposes of the conten tion that the law takes effect upon the happening of a contingency briefly, holding the law does not so depend, its going into effect at once, but the elec tion may depend upon a contingency. The opinion is exhaustive, covering all points of the case, and sustains the constitutionslity of the law through out. The result of which is that there will be an election held next Novem ber. Petitions for referendum hsve been filed in the office of the secretary of state, ssking that the following meas ures, passed by the last session of leg islature, be referred to the people for approval or rejection at the November election: Sterilization of habitual criminals, degenerstcs or perverts. Creating of the State Industrial Ac cident commission, and the Workmen's Compensation act. University of Oregon appropriation tlOO.000 for additional building.

Bates, Publisner of the Pac ific Northwest who was in Lakevtaw last week with the "Myng Squad" ot Portland, stated that he would return here about the 13at of August in com psny with President J. M. Averill of the Portlsnd Chamber of Commerce. The Itinerary of their trip will include about the same territory as that re cently eovered by the "Flying Squad."

This will be the first trip through this section representing the orgsnizatipn which is indicative that the Portland business men are begin ing to awaken to the wonderful pos sibilities of Central and Southeastern Oregon, and the immense trade which Is steadily growing larger. This trip of Mr. Averill's and Mr. Ba'.es' will no doubt do a great deal toward Interest ing influential men in the development of thia region. U'Ren a Republican W. S. U'Kn. single tsx advocate and at the Inst Presidential election a aupporter of Theodore , Roosevelt, is admittedly basing his csmpalgn for Governor of Oregon largely on the hope of receiving the Republican nomina tion at the primary next May. ' There has been considerable doubt heretofore as to whether Mr. U'Kwi would aspire to the highest office in this stste as a Republican, despite bis flirtation with the Progressive camp last November, or as an Inaependent candidate, buti)e bis now quoted as having put them all at rest, and will make the race on the Republican ticket. It is reported that Fred Moore, the aotor who is well known looally, re cently suffered a breakdown at Susan ville and as a consequence the Moore Either troupe which was headed for Lakeview, was disbanded at that place. N.-C.-0. TO MAKE JOINTJATES OUT Commercial Agent of Road Q I v e s Encouragement on Recent Trip. T. E. Giller. Commercial Agent of the Nevada-Callforna-Oregon Railway, was in Lakeview last week from bis nesdqoaters at Reno. He was looking over the territory adjacent to the line soliciting tonnage for outshlpments.

This mstter wjll be received with great interest by farmers of this valley aa it will afford a market for their pro duo at a price which will encourage the.:: to increase their acreage and yields. Heretofore without the assur ance of these joint rstes producers couldn't depend upon fhlpping out their commodities aa the freight rates have prohibited them from netting reasonable returns.

The eompsny is selling two varieties of wheat, Turkey Red and Gold Coin, the famous Utsh Fsll grain, but a marked preference is being shown the tormer kind by farmers here, inas much aa they are more familiar with that variety. Mr. Class ssys the price is approximately 2 1-2 centa per pound delivered.

Beckwith, professor of bscterology in Agricultur al College, as a commission to investi gate tbe situation and to devise means, it possible, to exterminate the pest.

He has been connected with the Southern Oregon Automobile Co., proprietors of the Lakeview Garage, at Klamath Falls. and Seattle over the entire route we find a far superior coarse than ia found byj going over she Emigrant Pasa, which is closed to travel a large part of the year. I'D Crater Lake roite ia sure to become poooiar because of tbe rare and gorgeous scenerv along entire route," said Colonel Thatcher. "I regret to find tbe roads from Lakeview to Klamath County line in a bad condition. Tbe sections where the adobe land exists could be graded ia a ahort time and with a light coat ing of gravel would be passable all the year. Lake County cannot afford to let this matter go by without attention. If this is not done travel naturally will go by Alturss direct to Klamath Falls where soil conditions are better suited for all year travel. But by giving your route tbe necessary improvements it cannot be excelled aa a scenic course. And this will mean millions of doilsrs to Lakeview.

Beach, Former Editor, Sends Congratulations Upon Advancement. Portland, Oregon. July 26, 1913. Editor Examiner, Lakeview, Oregon. In perusing tb pages of tbe lsst issue of the Examiner, the headline "We Have Moved', impels mi to make a few remarks, with your kind permission. After a continuous residence in Lake view, trom 1885 to 1904, and during all that lime doing duty on Tbe Examiner (beginning as devil and tecoming editor and proprietor in 1893,) you can see 1 still have some interest in the movements of my long time friend. The Examiner never was much on the move, except fur tbe uplift of human ity and the good will of all. This is the second move that I can recall. The first was in 1894, when all hands carried the old hand press serosa tbe street to the new Masonic building, which wss then considered very com modious and modern quarters.' It might be adued that there waa also in cluded in the moving a juo press, a few esses of type suit a large pair of shears. Tbe Examiner prospered in ' its new home, and laid the foundation for what is now the best eonntryjweek ly in Oregon. The most crushing blow the Exam iner ever received waa in May, 1900 when the entire business section of Lakeview was burned. Nothing waa left to tell the tale except a smsll job press, a few handtula of type and a can of red ink. One aide of the paper had already been printed the Saturday before, and thia having alao been sav ed, permitted The Examiner to come out on its regular publication day, the day following tbe tire. It was some what shrunken in size, and hardly readable, but proved The Examiner's ever readiness to serve its readers with every issue on time. We were greatly interested in seeing the first psge of this famous issue published in The Examiner a few weeks ago. There were troublesome times with the publication of the paper for many Continued oa paga eight
