It would In a c r-nt injustice to any one of the ja-rfoi tner to divide the honor. Karh learned their iirt well ami curried it through to pcifcctiou. From liie l-uiiiiiing of the play to the end the audienee a kept in a laughing iikkkI. Mr. Walter A. Sherlock pre sented iiionI charming apciirance an a mother and widow, and her daughter, Mi Mae Snider, looked i IxMtiitiful on the fclage that even ('. IC. Auderon fell in love with her. III the emotional and tragedy part Mi Snider certainly allowed gtyt dramatic ahility. As a tf maker 'li.M A intermit! haa no pror ill thin community. lie looked the picture of a real lover iiinl u huudoiiie gentleman. A. Y. lleiich wan the "real thing, " ml, a an up-to-date ilude, "Don't cher Know," he carried hi part through the 'iitire play inoet admirahly. When "Uncle Joh" arrived from Vermont the audience wa spell-bound J. V.. MWiarrcy soon proved that he hud a thorough conception of the part of one old farmer who could not he "bunkoed." He kept the audience in food humor all the way through. He encountered many dillicultics in hxa ting Lis iter in New York. However, he had read the newpaiera and kept Ida eye, otien. I,ce Her 1 1 aa tho "Count cle Courville," a French nohleiiiuii, represented the Freiicliiiian in perfect stylo. Ilia accent and liia general Hpearance on the stage deceived uianv of hi friend, who are yet in doiiht that it wan I-ee at all. He played hi purt nobly, and, although lie faile.l to Hccomplinh hi puriHise in the plot, he will lie looked uHin as the at traction in the future. I'.raNtiiH, the colored ttcrvant, was always in troiihle. Manly Whortou, who took the part of the servant, know Id place as audi, and was always on time to RHit the guests who vinitcd his "MifHIlH." Walter Sherlock na "MulcHhoy," the live keeper, left an impression um)M the audience that will not lie forgotten. Ilia uoncral makeup wuh stunning. No one had ever aunpected that Walter wai an actor, hut after the fi rut minute before the IimiI light he proved liiuiHelf aa audi. " Tho liunco etccrer," John Cogghurn, played hi part well. In Ida fiendish hi heme with the Count he made tho audience believe that he wan the gen uine Bowery chap. W. F. (irob aa a detective left an itn preMnion upon the sterner sex to be always on the lookout for him. lie was well disguised and the only one at whom bouquets were thrown, (irob acted the drunk like an old "rounder." MiiM Minerva Cluckott, represented by Irs. C. Ross Anderson, was really get ting desperate at the way the young men in the audience winked at her. She was the typical old maid in make up and speech. Her part was rather a difficult one, but she attended to it well, and never meddled with the other ac tors' affairs. Hhe was exceptionally good. As a whole the drama wa well ren dered anil no one left the owra houe displeased, and all winding that the 8orol CI iih would not diband. a. r.iKHKM. Kadng Card For July. It ha hen decided to have a aerie of racing content in Itkeview during Fourth of July week.

The racing pro gram will lie iued a soon a the (toileting committee complete it work. The fact that Lakeview did not give any racing laxt year ought to induce the pcop.e ,o mane tne event 01 iwi a o.g aucce.

Laird's Work Good Work Done by .Senator Jim Laird, But the Governor Ve toed His Best Measure. Mute Senator Ijird ha been unusual ly successful this w inter in Udialf of his constituents, anil those of Modoc in pal ticular, says the Cedurville Kword. First and foremost has Ix-en the pas sage of the bill for paying the coyote chums coming from his district. This passed Nith houws and the Governor lus t greed to sign it, so that there will be about two hundred and seventy-eight thousand dollars turned looe in his dis trict alone. In spile of adverse commit tees he also has secured the passage by the henate of a bill declaring the Alturas Lakeview stage road a public highway and appropriating twenty thousand dollars lor its maintenance. What the fate of the bill w ill lie in the Assembly is hard to tell ; but the hill is an excel lent one and the road the worst in Mo doc county. I Referring to the coyote bill we regret ' . i 1 1 . ... to nay our neignoors nnve IOHI, llie tiovernorevidently forgot his "promise," if he ever made one, and promptly ve toed the measure when it cume before him for his signature. Some people liv ing in Lake county were more or less interested in this California scalp law, and are losers to a considerable Hmouut by the veto. J. Q. Adams of Hock Creek, hud a 1 2,00 claim against the Mate of California in coyote scalps, we understand. John N. Watson, the woolgrower and ow ner of the "Hosebud Ranch," has in vested in 5,000 shares of oil stock near Los Angeles, Cal. His company bus a well 050 feet deep, and situated 1,1100 feet from a tine flowing well owned by the (Standard Oil Company. Watson is likely to become a millionaire and bloat ed oil magnate ere long. He tells the I'ost man at I'aisley how Ike Da vies "works" the people of 'Frisco. Ike plays the " tenderfoot" and lives on the fat of the land. ,lle recently went into aa automobile establishment in the city and said he was thinking of investing in one of those "hosidee" wagons. lie was immediately taken up by the firm, and given a free ride all over the city and surroundings, besides being wined and dined. Ike is thoroughly enjoying life In the Bay City. Jubilant The People of Warner Valley Learn Through "Examiner" of Second Victory of the Settlers. A Happy Thought.

Marx I-Miier and R. M. Kusnill have jut returned from a pleasure trip to Lakeview. They speak in high praie of the kind treatment received hv them at the bauds of Lane and Light, the genial proprietors of the elegant Hotel Lakeview. They also say that Lakeview should be proud of ita different business enter prises and the phenomenal way in which it recovered from its misfortune 01 last summer. I fie town is built up in the most approved modern style, and presenU a very handsome appearance. The Hotel Lakeview, in particular de serves special mention. When finished it will be the fineot in the north. The merchandise stores are also up-to-date in every way, and the goods are dis played with so much artistic taste that it is a pleasure to look at them. The boys are eloquent over the kindly way they were treated by all. Dick says he did not see much of Marx, but Marx is silent on the subject. New Era. Orand Opportuniea Here. In mentioning the recent Bale of the Charles D. Sessions place in Warner valley, Oregon, to C. W. Dent, the Al turas l'lalndealer, says: "About twelve years ago Charles D. Sessions left Fort ttidwell and settled iu Warner valley. Mr. Sessions was not burdened with a surplus of the world's wealth. He had, however, a wagon and team, a few cows, and, better than all, he had pluck and industry and a most estimable wife and family. Instead oi settling on a lawsD.it, Mr. Sessions loca ted a sagebrush tlat, built him a small dwelling aud went to work. He grubbed sagebrush, dug an irrigating ditch, planted an orchard and as fast as pos sible, by his own unaided labor, seeded his ground to alfalfa. Many thought Charles was foolish and would soon starve out. But he didn't. He soon had a beautiful home, and the other day sold bis ranch for ft), 000 in cash." There are many such opportunies in Luke and Modoc counties for live aud energetic men, and such opportunities will not remain untaken long. The Horse flarket. From many sources we learn of an in creased demand for good horses. The demand for small horses arising from the exigencies of war in the Philippines, South Africa and China will cease. Small horses will then again become a drug on the market, and not worth their keep. But the demaud for good horses for the dray, the truck, the coach, carriage, farm and saddle will continue. And the farmer who raises horses of that kind will not need to seek long for a market. But he must decide what class of horses he is going to raise, and then stick to bis class breed for noth ing else. The folly of trying to raise draft horses from little fuss-tail mares has been apparent, and the result is seen in a nondescript breed that Is prac- tically valueless. If you are (toing to breed draft horses you niit start with good mares, and stick to that class. The same rule applies to every other clas of horses, and the reiring of good animals of any breed w:l pay. Thus saith the Altura Plaindealer, and very truthfully, tco. The man w ho continues to raise good horses, will always have the call in the market. Changed the Brand of "Llcker." A correspondent to the Yreka Journal from Happy Camp, Siskiyou county, says: "The wild man is now the leading topic along the Klamath. Report from Waldo has it that the great and myste rious has once more come out of his den in the wood, and presented his gi gantic form to the gaze of man. The parties to whose view this apparition presented itself, say that he was not less than nine feet high, and that his track is eighteen inches long, and that tberw are plainly visible the marks of seven toes on each loot. His leaps in the snow measured from ten to fifteen feet, in snow three feet deep. The parties who saw him while out hunting, at first thought that it was an eik, from the manner in which he broke the brush. But think of their amazement, when it reached a clearing, threw up its arms, stood aud gazed around, and becan vigorously pulling at hi grizzled beard, w hen w ith a hideous yell, he fled and vanished. " New Ashland Bank Directors. The following directors of the near First National Bank of Anhland have lieen elected: A. McCallen, E. A. Sher- win, J. K. Van hant, C. H. Vaupel. A H. Brown, John S. Shook and Fred M. Drake. At a meeting Saturday fore noon the organization was completed by the election of the following officers: President. E. A. Sherwin; Vice-Preei-dent, J. K. Van Sant; Cashier, Andrew McCallen.. Eastern Tour fliss Ellen Cobb Visits Washing ton and Other Points and Has an Interesting- Time. M iss Ellen E. Cobb, well known in Lakeview, and w ho has a host of friends here who will remember her kindly, has been making a tour of the principal cities and important points in the East. Miss Cobb left about a year ago for her home iu Lancaster, Mass., after an ex tended visit with relatives in Lakeview. She writes an interesting letter to Mrs. Delia Cobb, giving details of her pleas ure trip. She was accompanied by a party of friends, and went first to Phil adelphia via New York. They visited the Mint, Independence Hall and Wan namaker's big store. From there the party proceeded to Washington, D. C. Sunday morning they attended divine service at the church where President McKinley is a regular attendant, and saw the President enter his pew. The Chief Executive rarely fails to go to church. At the Capitol building Miss Cobb visited all the principal depart ments, including the Fishery depart ment, Bureau of Printing and Engrav ing, the Navy building and Postotfice, the Agricultural department, Pension building, Treasury, Congressional library and tbe White House. Leaving Wash ington they went to Mount Vernon and entered the old church where Wash ington once attended. At Arlington they visited the National Cemetery. Returning to Washington they visited the Senate and House of Represent atives and the Supreme Court Cham bers. They also went to the Smith sonian Institute and National Museum. At the latter place they saw all the treasures that General Grant was pre sented with on his trip around the world. Miss Cobb says she thoroughly en joyed every moment of her tour. One never realizes the superiority oi woman so much as when one sees a bachelor sewing on buttons without a thimble, pushing the needle auainst the wall to get it through, and then pulling at it by hanging on to it with his teeth. Sam Jones says that our main trouble are caused by whiskey. Anyone will fight when he gets Kentucky liquor in him, and if a rabbit were to take three drinks of it he would spit in the face o( a big dog.
