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.

Another Modoc Surprise.
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

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.
