Big Excitement Over Oil in flodoc A pecial dinpatch from Altura dated April lHth, announce the fact that there i much excitement in Modoc county over the finding of oil on the ranch of J. II.

There ia uIho consider able Mir in the Coal Stone Valley, where firnt-claH prospect for oil. iiave been discovered. It is very evident that oil exiota throughout various por tion of Modoc and Lake counties, and there will be a boom in this industry here very soon. There is naid to be an oil expert in the Surprise Valley diHlrict who i Imiiding all the field lie can. A Good Entertainment. Fleming ilro. pleaned the eiple of Lakcview on Monday and Tuesday even ings of thiii week with their Edison Waragrapii or moving picture entertain went.

A Quartz Mine. A. Bieber anil Dr. Pewey have a man developing a prosjiect recently discover ed on the hill just east of Lakeview. The find is an extensive ledge of genuine quartz, a sample of w hich after going through the mortcr showed a small quantity of gold. It is to be hoped that after thorough development the mine may be found good enough to warrant working with a stamp mill. lirome Grass a Success. There is no doubt of the success of I if.. :.. u....i;.... v , , , ....,, inca mngsiey oi uie esi ruie nan ex perimented with this grass, and after a year's triul is well satisfied with the re sult. The giass grew all winter on dry sage brush hind, and a sample left ut this ollii e is tall and ripe enough for cutting. Kingsley is preparing to grow brome extensively next season. Sheep Poisoned. Kingery Brothers, Luke county wool growers, lost about 200 head of sheep last week ut the Public Shearing corrals at Clover Flat. Joe Ambrose, also, lost a few while coming through Crooked Creek valley. It is presumed the sheep found a poisonous weed or were "alku-lied." A Word to the Wise is Sufficient A letter from lakeview intimates that the Nevada, California and Oregon it likely to change its plan in the matter of the extension from Teruio (Cal. to Lakeview. The general opinion ha been that the road would build along the east aide of (ioose Lake, through a thickly settled farming and horticultural country, to Lakeview, and make a ter minus. It has been hinted to the busi ness men of Lakeview and the farmers along the lake that if they do not accept proposals roon to be made the road w ill be built on the west side of the lake, where there ia no settlement except at the northern end. If the line follows t tie west shore of the lafce, Lakeview and a good farming country will be left in the cold. Oregonian. And this ia not the first intimation The Examiner has had regarding the probable move of the N. CO. people. A well-known friend of The Examiner forwarded us a letter from Reno some time ago, in which the writer, after an inter view with the N. C. O. management, asserted as his positive belief that ''Lake view will be left off the railway sched ule if a feasible route can be found on the west side of Goose Lake. The line would go through Surprise Valley if it could get out at the north end. A route is (or was) being figured on for the West Side, which would mean that ! Lakeview would be left to herself by several miles. Should this happen it will be the fault of your 'croakers' in opposing the extension of the road to your city. Our correspondent, also, offers the advice that "if a railway line to pass Altura, Lakeview mcst be on the route or she will suffer a lingering death." We do not quite agree with our friend regarding lh horriMe fate that await Lakeview. This will continue to be the best point in Southeastern Oregon with or without a railroad. The leasing of the public domain has more horrors for I-akeview than any fate that may befall us from a railroad standpoint. Still, if a railroad is to pas Alturas, as our friend says, it would lie far lietter for Lakeview to encourage it than throw stumbling blocks in the way. Railroad companies as a rule do not pander to the w ishes of a people opposed io them. On the contrary, railroad iieople usuallv leave their enemies off their line just far enough to do thetn damage, as waa' in the case of the pioneer towns of Yreka (Cal.) and Jacksonville (Oregon). It has been suggested by a gentleman, who is credited with having good foresight and can see considerably farther than the end of his nose, that should much op position be shown the N. C. O. company by the people of Lakeview, that c fine site for a new railroad to an could be found in plain sight of our town, eight miles away, at the edge of the timber, where the waters of Thomas Creek emerge from the mountain fastnesses. Mr. Dunaway, Vice-President and General Manager of the N. C. O., is ex H'cted in Lakeview soon, and it might be well for the opposition to not crop out too plainly while the gentlemen is here. , Miss Snelling's Success. Miss Laura Snelling, who is' attend ing St. Mary's Academy at Jackson ville, is another Lakeview girl who is making rapid strides in the educational line. The young lady, who is but 16 years of uge, recently passed a success ful examination before the bourd of ex aminers of Jackson county, and was awarded a teacher's certilicute. Her percentage was 78. It is something un usual for a girl of sixteen to pass a suc cessful examination in Oregon, and Miss Snelling's many friends here, as well as her parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. 1.. Shelling, are very proud of her achieve ment. Pelton Water Motor. Frank Duke has gone to the railroad after a big load of merchandise for Lake view business men. Among other freight Mr. Duke will carry a big load of paper and stationery, and a Pelton Water Motor for The Examiner. The motor is to be used as power in driving The Examiner presses.
