When They Make Up Their Minds. Here is an estimate of American capa bility from the London Express: It will take years for the Americans to build and equip a merchant fleet that will be a aerious menace to British ship ping industries. The Americans know that as well as we do. Still, w hen once they make op their minds that a thing has to be done across the water, they have a wonderfully quick way with them; they go ahead, and accomplish ment U nut far in the wake of concep tion. The wonder is that they have done so little for themselves in sea transporta - Uon in the past. As an instance of what American shipbuilders can do on an emergency it is sufficient to mention the fact of the passenger steamer Christopher Columbus, with a length of 362 feet over all, a 42-foot beam, and a depth of 24 feet, giving accommodation for 5,000 passengers, having been launch ed within fifty-six days from the laying of the keel. This w as for the Chicago World's Fair lake traffic. When once the problem of practica bility and profit has been satisfactorily settled for American shipbuilders, as is gradually being done, the shipyards of the Hates may be counted upon to give us a lesson or two in pace, howsoever they may have to be recokened up on the score of good workmanship and durability. Today the United States ranks below the little kingdom of Norway as a mari time power; ten years hence, in all probability, the merchant fleet of the Republic will be second only to that of Great Britain. The Chewaucan Post says that W. J. Sherlock exhibited a phenomenon in Paisley last week that outclassed any thing yet seen there. It is an almost perfectly formed horn grown on the ear of a fully developed sheep, since last hearing. The growth is fully six inches long, and has all the appearance of a natural horn, and was attached to the ear of the animal. It became notice able only a short time ago, when Mr. Sherlock clipped it off a few days ago and brought it In for exhibition. He intends to preserve it in alcohol. Look oat, Brother Metzker, that Willie is not playing a joke on you. He's as full of tricks as a boy in swimming. A Kansas preacher stepped out of the old rut the other day when he delivered this "touching" funeral sermon : "A word to you all. Post mortem praises and love are in the air. People kiBs the dead who never stoop to kiss the living; they cover the casket in hysterical sobs, but they fail to throw their arms around their dear ones who are fighting the stern battle of life. A word of cheer to the struggling soul in life is worth more than all the roses in Chrisendom piled high on the casket cover. The dead can't smell the flowers, but the living can. Scatter them broadcast in the pathway, therefore, and pick out the thorns before it is too late." For a long time past the Oregonian has been a "hidden enemy" of Thomas II. Tongue. To-day it stands out as an open enemy of the Congressman, as much so as it is an enemy of the Repub lican administration at Washington Now, the friends of Congressman Tongue will know what 'to expect in the luture from the Portland paper, whose manage ment has ever failed to make that gentle man jump at the crack of its whip, and for which the Congressman has incurred the bitter hatred of that paper. The Adin Argus is now under a new management, Mr. Pickard having pur chased a half interest in the business with F:ditor McDowell. The Argus is very much improved in many ways since the beginning of the new century. It is, in fact, one of the best local news papers in the interior, considering the small town in which it is published, and the limited patronage at command. A bill providing " that all gold and silver coins of the United States, except subsidiary coins, shall be exchangeable for each other at par at the Treasury of the United States at the demand of holders" has been ordered favorably re ported by party vote of the House Com mittee on Coinage. J. F. (icrman, Portland, Oregon : '"Here's a 'liver,' continue to send me The F.xaminer; the paper is all right in its new form. However, 1 don't go so much on its Populist editor but sup puce, the paper is not to blame for that, ana I leave you in tliu hands of I harlie Snider for reinrui. I ho you may prosper with all the balance of my friends in old Ijtke. I am now living ai 184 Arthur street, Portland." S. P. Hawkins, Toms Urook, Va: "Brother Khesa, wife and myself arriv ed here Feb. lot, all well, and alter a pleasant trip east over the Santa Ke sys tem via. Kansas City, Mo., Chicago and over the B. A O. to -Toms Brook. We left all the snow to the north f us until we crowed the Mississippi, then we got in the snow belt and were in it until we got home. Siu.e arriving Khesa and I have had the lagrippe but he i well again and I am improving. He has gone for a hunt today whether for tur keys or persimmons 1 can't say. The persimmon is a winter fruit that grow wild here. The Examiner is a welcome visitor in our home. "I made many happy acquaintance while in Lake county, too numerous to mention, but to whom all I send my respects. I hope when 1 next visit your countiyyou will have a railroad ami a creamery, also." Cieorge Duncan, Lone Pine, Oregon : "After a long absence in Harney county, I have returned to the 'haunts that know me well.' The stockmen of Hitr- ney have hail delightful winter so far snow not to exceed six inches hav.ug fallen there. When I passed over the road between Burns and Silver Creek there was only a slight fall, and between Silver Creek and Wagontire it was very heavy. I noticed on my travels many horses and a few cattle, all in good con dition. I stopped over night with Mr. and Mrs. Lon Long and was well enter tained by the estimable hostess. Mr. Long has not fed any of his cattle yet. Lon thinks his section has a bright future as there is an abundance of tine sage brush land there open for settle ment. Several good ranches can be had, and it is but a short depth to water. As I write the snow is six inches deep at Lone Pine." Rev. D. T. Summerville, Presiding Elder M. E. Church, Grants Pass: "I left Lakeview on Jan. 9th and arrived in Klamath Falls the following night al 10:45; Saturday morning I went to Merrill where I held quarterly confer ence in the afternoon and preaching services on Sunday morning; in the afternoon a man took me in a sleigh to Klamath Falls where I had an appoint ment to preach in the evening. While we were still in the open country the driver lost his way and for an hour and fifteen minutes we wandered through the sage brush in search of a road which we eventually found, but which led us through some very deep snow. I got to the church at the Falls, however, just as the pastor had concluded the open ing services and without getting warm proceeded to warm up on the (iosl. Next day I left Klamath Falls for Ager and stayed at Shovel Creek over night. Next morning I started in a wagon and four horses, with McNaughton as driver, and arrived at Ager at 3 p. m. I waited for the night train, as the walking was bad, and at 12 :45 a. ni. I flagged the 'flyer' with the landlord's lantern and was away in a moment for Grants Pass. Next day I left Grants Pass by staue for Althouse, 37 miles southeast, where I held quarterly meeting. So you see, up to date, I have made schedule time since leaving Lakeview." Returned From California. Felix Green, general manager of the XL ranches, returned from San Fran cisco and Sacramento last week, whither he went on business for the cattle firm, and incidentally to enjoy metropolitan sights. He was accompanied by his brother, Jim Green, who saw gay San Francisco for the first time. Felix says that the price of beef "continues to re main away up there," and that he learned at Reno that George Bayley had been offered 9 cents for his beef, but was holding for 10. He thinks Bayley will receive his price unless grass-fed cattle should come on the market soon. Very many people exchanged love tok ens and messages of regard on St. Valen tine's day, Others displayed a venom ous spirit in addressing to people they do not admire some fiendish pictures with accompanying "poetry" appro priate to the picture. This practice has long since become degrading in the eyes of the better class of people and is only indulged in by the ignorant. riORE THAN At Gunther Hall Tonight the School Children Will (Jive a Fine Entertainment.

The marriageable people of Modoc county seem bent on giving their friends happy surprises in closely guarding until the eventful day their secrets of love. On the evening of February 7th, E.G. Scammon, County Recorder of Modoc, ana Miss we .Maple Wood, a popu lar teacher of that county, surprised their most intimate friends by call ing in Rev. Perks and having him tie the nuptial knot that binds two loving hearts together for weal or woe. Miss Amy Sapper, formerly of Luke view, was one of the attendants of the bride, while J. Todd Bonner, the well known tax collector of Modoc, per formed a like service for the groom. Degree of Honor Ball. Last Thursday evening a gay throng of dancers to the number of about one hundred and twenty-five congregated at Gunther Hall to participate in the grand ball given by the Degree of Honor, A. O. U. W, cf Lakeview. It was indeed a joyful occasion, in which many pretty women gorgeously dressed, ami happy gallants as attendants participated. It has been spoken of since on every hand as the most delightful hall of the season. The supper is said to have been a feast that has never been surpassed in Luke view, a faut which reflects much credit on the ability of the good women of the order who had it in charge. Every laxly Bleaks highly of the entertain ment and all who attended enjoyed it thoroughly. Fifty tickets were sold. The write-up of Lakeview and Goose Lake Valley, compiled by Calkins Bros., will appear in the Pacific Coast Miner March 1st. The late news from South Africa has raised the spirits of the English.
