THE IIXAJIINER IS OF Atlli.
The Kxaminer is of age '21 years old,
ami entitle! to v tt today. Willi this
issue wo begin Volume twenty-two. h
is not necessary to jto back over the
past history of this tapor, a it is well
known to our reader. In looking over
our Koks wo find today tho mimes o(
readers of The Examiner who have Wen
constant subsoriWrs for L'l years. This
jwper lias more reailers than any oilier
newsiajer in Southeastern Oregon ami
is gaining rabidly each year instead of
losing ground, which is a sullieiont
guarantee that The Examiner thorough
ly cove is its own particular field. At f J
jer year, we can say without boasting,
that it is the best interior newspaper in
the state. E very hidy ele w ho reads it
says so, and w hy should we not? Now
is the time for those who are not sub
pcriK'rs to become such. We want to
get to that l?i0 mark in circulation W
fore l'.M. We sincerely thank our pat
rons for past favors, respectfully solicit
a continuation of tlieir good will and
patronage, and hoie thai everyone of
them will meet with the success in busi
ness that we have been favored with.
Hcprvsentative-cltvt Goer of Harney
promises to look after the interests of
his constituents this side of the Cas
cades, am! wiM urge an approi iatiun for
a State Normal School at liurns, at
the coming session of the State Legis
lature. You may take notice, right
now, Senator Williamson .and repre
sentatives Emmilt, McGreer and Kole
erts, that I.akeview wants either a
branch e nitcntiary or insane asylum,
and that we have sxken first. Now,
remember this, gentlemen; we do not
propose to be drawing on the hind pro
tuWrance any lunger. I.akeview is the
representative citv of this great empire
east f the Cascades, and, as we have
never a-ked any particular favors from
the great State of Oregon, we demand
recognition "this load of poles." We
want something, and we don't care
a rap what it is, just so we can get our
capacious maw to working on the state
treasury. It may be to the material ad
vantage of the state to give us one or
two of lhee institutions we pray for, as
it is at a heavy cost to the state that we
transport our subjects across the mount
ains to Salem. If the legislature is
going to take the bounty off our scalps,
we want something to off-ct it. We
shall watch closely the attitude of our
Solons in the I-egi.-lature.
The vicious actions of Mrs. Carrie
Nation, president of the Barber county
W. C. T. I'., will certainly not pdd any
lustre to the cause of Temperance. This
foolish woman entered the Carey Hotel
bar-room at Wichita, Kansas, the other
day, and, with a stone, smashed a $:S0
painting of Cleopatra at her bath, ami a
mirror valued at lo0. The woman is
under arrest, hut the saloon man re
fused to tile a charge against her. She
appealed to Governor Stanley, and he
refused to act in any way. She broke
mirrors at Kiowa, Kansas, in two saloons
some months ago, and declares there is
no law under which she can be prose
cuted. The unwritten Ian may reach
her, if nothing else. Such fanatics
should be kept w here they can do do
damage either to the property of indi
viduals or to the cause they represent.
The Nation woman is an idiot.
The holiday edition of Breeder and
Sportsman, the great representative
journal of the sportsmen, and the turf
And sporting authority of the Pacific
Coast, has never been equalled in its
line on the Coast. Every sporting and

magnificent paper. Try a sii-month's

LARUI-ST PLURALITY.
Tlio result of the pular vote for
President at the NovemWr election is
iiiven out, and shows that McKinloy re
eeied a larger plurality than any Presi
dent since the Civil War. Here are the
pluralities since Oram's first election in

) The above figures disclose the fact,
j probably not yet quite understood bv
some people, that tho election of l'.KK
w as the greatest landslide that thec -
try has witnessed for over thirty yeais.
U rover Cleveland is noted for his
wise sayings, and remarking tho pro er
thing at tho proper time. In no state
ment ever made by him has Mr. Cleve
land offered a wiser suggestion than
when he said the term of tho President
of the I'nited States should W lengthen-
! ed ro eight years. IVmhtloss satisfac
tion would In general were the election
for president to come only once in every
eight years, and allow but one term, as
the disturbing influences would W less
frequent, and the administration would
not have to devote time during the first
term to preparing for a second vi'tory.
I'ossibly Mr. Cleveland would like to be
the candidate of " Keorganued IVmocra
cy" just once more.
China now holds her breath long !
enough to ask a few question. A note'
has been received by the Powers from
the Imperial Court acknowledging the
receipt of the note containing the do- j
inand of the Powers. The reply con
sists of live questions, as follows: May
i
not the Taku forts le allowed to stand,
even if dismantled? Is it promised to
liehead the princess? If tho demands '
are acceded to, will the Allies cease from
further cxH'!:ions? What place or
places in Chinese territories do the'
Allies intend to occupy, and how long
will such o.-cnpntion continue?
Eugene is to have a new creamery
and it is to be in oeration on March 1,
Hull. There is now one small creamery
in operation at Eugene, but it is believ
ed that the increased interest in dairy
ing on the part of the farmers jilstilies
another creamery. And still the good
work goes on every w here but in Lake
count v.
I.ake county tea -hers certainly do not
get rich by following their profession, as
they are dcuoedly poorly paid for their
work. It's the same all over Oregon.
But our teachers have no grievance com
pared with their fellows in the rich and
jiopnlated state of Wisconsin, where the
average salaries for teaching are 25 to

Now let the Common Council of I.ake
view show its enthusiasm and follow in
the footsteps of the council of Grand
Hapids, Michigan, by unanimously
adopting a resolution extending Presi
dent Kruger an official welcome and the
freedom of the citv.
SH-aker Henderson feels a cold wave
coming from toward Portland. If the
distinguished gentleman ever visits Ore
gon's metropolis, he will receive the icy
hand and marble heart. The sjcaker
opisises the plan to enlarge the Portland
postoffice.
Well, now, that's something like it,
and goes to show that in some places a
newspaper man is properly appreciated.

and will in tho future ho known as the
Gunther Opera House, F. T. and Will
iam Gunther having purchased the lease
from victor . Maxwell. llio new
management has already started in umhi

the accommodations will he much bet
ter. The entire hall am its apartments
have lieen thoroughly ventilated; tho
ladies' waiting room has been neatly
and comfortably arranged, and a waiting
room for gentlemen has been furnished
to the right of the stage. A new box
stage for the musicians, with a heater
therein, will replace the old one; this
stand will be surrounded by a railing,
attached by hinges, which can lie let
down or opened n., when necessary to
allow the heat to circulate throughout
the hall, and at dances the stand will be
closes! up so that the heat will not be so
intense as to inconvenience the dancers.
In the future the entrance to the hall
will be at the north door instead of the
south. The Saturday evening social
dances will be continued throughout the
winter. This improvement at the opera
house by the new management will lie
appreciated by the public.
