General Manager Cox announced that a gravel train will be started to work at once, re-ballissting V5 miles of track with gravel. Another Improvement will be the wldeuing of all fills or dumps, to 12 feet. "I believe In the importance of little things," said Mr. Cox, " and in sufety. We want people to know that when they leave Reno for Lake view or any points' along the line they can come back safely when ever they ure ready. Nothing will be left undone that will insure sufe ty of travel along the line."

BENSON CHECKS VOTE OFFICIAL COUNT SHOWS THAT MrXAKV WON BY THIRTKEV VOTKH JUDGE, CHEERFUL LOOSER KxMrtH are Checking Multnomah Tally HhertM in Order to Deride Successful Nominee for Supreme Judge While disclaiming that he has any Intention of contesting for the nom ination on the Republican ticket for Justice of the Supreme Court, which seems to' have gone to his opponent Charles L. McNary, by the narrow margin of 13 votes out 6f nearly 70, 000 cast at last month's ' primary election. Circuit Judge Henry L. Ben sou of Klamath Falls, has expe; at work today checking the returns from Multnomah County. He may also check the returns from Wash ington County, says the Portland Telegram of June 8. Judge Renson this morning had expert accountants one of whom will operate an adding machine, verifying the count from 326 tally Bheets on file in County Clerk Coffey's office. If any error has been made in the findings of the canvassing board this verification will disclose It. ' So far, all that Judge lienson has been able to learn is that the official returns from all counties in the state except Multnomah and Washington, and unofficial returns from' these two T-iiunties gave him a few more than 34,500 votes and Justice McNary just 14 plurality. "Just one majority Is enough to make me lie down and acknowledge that I have been defeated." said Judge Renson. "All I want to know! Is that there has been no blunder in! the findings. of the canvassing boards' of these two counties. I have been urged to start a legal contest against Judge McNary by demauding a re count of ballots in Multnomah Coun ty, but I shall not do so, at least ac cording to present appearances. There may have been some errors in counting the ballots In certain pre cincts, but I am depending only on learning whether any errors occurred iu the canvass and announcements of the returns. For a long time before election I was holding court in Lake County and made no campaign and I am pleased that so many votes were oast for me. The finish of the race is very close and I want to know whether or not 1 am defeated. If I have been beaten by Judge McNary I shall work for his election Just ds I shall expect him to work for mine if I have won the nomination.

Tlioma Enters Complaint to Governor and Later Ajmlogize To County Attorney New Pine Creek has again come into the limelight over the alleged illegal .sale of liquors according to different news dispatches from Sa lem to the Portland papers. D. W. Thomas, until recently a saloon man of that place has entered further charges against W. S. DuPont, drug gist, for selling liquor and a com plaint to Governor West against County Attorney Gibbs for not en forcing the law. It will be remembered by Exam iner readers that this matter was first taken up during the first of the year when upon complaint of Thomas a stipulation of the facts of the matter was entered before the Justice of the peace at New Pine Creek and DuPont was bound over to the action of t he grand jury. County Attorney Gibbs re presented the prosecution while At torney W. Lair Thompson appeared for DuPont.

Last Thursday and Friday nights the temperature took a sudden drop the thermometer showing about 2- j Ufsrefs uuuvt irru, hi uu iiiiitr, aui resulting in considerable damage to the fruit and garden stuff. In some places it is also reported that barley was damaged. According to first reports it was believed that nearly all fruit in this county was killed but later advises have it that much of this crop escaped, as like wise did the berries in different lo calities. The abundant moisture which fell during the ' days following the cold snap Is a great redeeming feature to the adverse condition, inasmuch as it assures bountiful wheat and hay crops. The farmers take this most jubilantly and it will go a long way toward recounting for damages done. Insofar as the vegetables and garden stuffs are concerned there is plenty of time to replant them and yet secure good returns. The writer believes thut early planting is a mistake too generally made in this vicinity as a better yield is se cured from later planting and the loss by frost eliminated. In summing it all up practically the only lo&s Is in the line of fruits, uud it is believed that this will be much lighter than was at first re ported. Weed Ordinance Adopted At the regular monthly meeting of the town council last week or dinance 126, preventing the growth of weeds in the city limits was pass ed. The ordinance provides that own ers of property permitting weeds to grow or remain ou property shall be guilty of misdemeanor and a- fine for conviction is fixed at not less than $5 or more than $50 or by imprisonment in the city jail. It Is the duty of the Town Marshal to notify all land owners In the town or tenants residing thereon to com ply with this ordinance in destroy ing all weeds on the premises. In rase of failure to comply within ten days after being notified the Mar shal shall order the weeds cut and property will be sold to defray costs ot same. Fred 11. Bosbyshell of So.

OAIRY STOCK ARRIVE HERE : j HEVENTY-HEVEN HEAD OF HOL STEINS BOl'GHT FOR LO CAL PARTIES SHIPPED FROM WISCONSIN Slock is Scarce and! Demand) Creat ing Higher Prices Shipment Means Much to Local Dairying Industry J. E. McCoul Monday night reach ed home with two carloads of Hoi st ein stock which he purchased In. Wisconsin for himself and F.' P. Cronemlller. The shipment con sisted of seven young cows 25 two-year-old heifers, 43 yearling heif ers, and two yearling bulls. Nona of the heifers are registered al though a number of them are full- bloods and the balance high grades., but both bulls are registered. Mr. McCoul was 13 days on the return trip and as a consequence all the stock was quite thin on reaching Lakeview. However, a few days : feeding on the rich grasses of Goose Lake Valley w ill , make a decided. , difference in their looks. ", Mr. McCoul states that in the dairy districts of Wisconsin he met ' buyers from nearly every Northern. State, and that the demand for . dairy stock, and especially for Hol stelns, is astonishing. The Chicago beef market is reaching out for all kinds of meat, and what seemB al- . most fabulous are the prices paid for -voung , calves for veal. As a. Mivisieee '-ft looks as if tbert would soon be a shortage in year lings and 'two-year-olds, and natur ally prices for dairy stock are likely to soar in the . very near future. Even at present prices one looks at his bank account twice before pur chasing, the yearlings Mr. McCoul purchased having cost $50 and the two-year-olds $60 in Wisconsin. Add to that the freight and incidental expenses and the cost is consider able for the stock in Lakeview. The shipment means much for dairying in Goose Lake Valley and especially the importation of the re gistered bulls, for they insure a good foundation for the dairy herds. Part of the stock is for sale, and any . one desiring to purchase should in- x quire of Mr. McCoul. It might be incidentally mention ed that while Mr. McCoul was treated with the utmost courtesy by the railroad officials in general and (Continued from First Page; LICENSE INCREASED NEW PINE CREEK SALOON LI CENSE RAISED TO .$200 But One Applicati( ii I'p At l.iut Meeting of Council Is Per plexing Problem New Pine Creek, Oregon, June 10.

The limit on tho number of sa loons for New Pine Creek is four. We had two at $125 a quarter up to the time that McCurdy was ar rested and closed out.
