April ?5.-Sprlra To the many questions that will be sub mitted to the voters of Lake fount y, alonr with the rest of Oregon, under the Initiative and referendum provision of the constitution of Oregon at the comiirs: elec tion in June, may be added the question of removing the county seat from Lake view to Paisley. For many weeks the people of the northern end of the county have been endeavoring to secure signa tures sufficient to have- the- question of removal placed on the ballot for the June eieetlon, and now it Is reported . that their effort s have been FueceasfuJ. and that .mh a ttitlon will be presented to the County Court at Its May term. While there is little probability of such an effort ending In success, the contest therefor w'H precipitate a spirited fight. The county is po large in area that it can he a tjuestion of b.it a few yeara until the county will be divided. The log ical place for division is just north of Paisley, the proposed location of the new county seat, and after divison Paisley would be so close to the nor:h line of the county that a movement to reTocate would attain start. Also, the bulk of the popula tion of the county is tributary to Lake view at the present time, and these facts will insure the retention of the county seat where It is for the present. TespJte the talk of moving the county seat to Paisley, work on the new Court house is .progressing rapidly at ?Akeview. A special tax to raise money for a new and much -needed home for the county offif.'e.s.

Exca vation for the building is done, and the foundation of heavy granite rock from the near-oy hills Is being placed. The building will be of brick manufactured near town, and will be modern In every detail. When completed. IjRke County's Courthouse will be one of the finest struc tures of the kind in Orefion. The May term of Circuit Court will be held In a local lodge hall. But it is planned to have the new Courthouse com pleted for the term which convenes in October. At present all county offices are housed In the lower floor of the I. O. O. F. temple. MONEY FOR JETTY! Plenty Allowed for Work of This Year.

Although the sundry civil bill does not carry the full amount recommended by Army engineers for either the mouth of the Columbia or the Celllo Canal, It appears from the commit tee hearings that the Chief of Engineers stated that the amounts actually carried in the bill will be ample to continue both projects up to March 4. 1909. when the next sundry civil bill will be passed and new appropriations will become avail able. As r matter of fact, while the present estimates for the mouth of the river state that $1,700,000 will complete the jetty. It is well known in engineering circles that $.100. 00 to $500.0110 n-ore will be necessary because of deterioration of part of the worK heretofore (lon result ing from delays. Pcfore the next bill is reported, this final estimate will be sub mitted and sufficient money to complete the Jetty will be appropriated next year. The sundry civil bill carries $1.4.r.o. 000 for continuing improvements at the mouth of the Columbia River, and $:fii.00i for continuing work on the Celrlo canal. The estimate for the former was $1 70 i.OOO, and for the lat ter '$.-,00,000.
