Or if, percliHine, he gets in 11 row with hix wife, "thiri(Ki" (pans, xtovehiMiks, dihhes, etc.) to the wrong way. There is something remarkably IH'rverae in the arrangement of "things" in this world. When a man's healthy he wants to get wealth, and when he i wealthy he wants to get health. When a man is single he wixhes he were mar ried, and when he is matried he wixhex hu were dead, and he quite frequently gets dead drunk. Then the fun logins to chance.

Oregon, that rounty is indehteil in the sum of fl44.H40.73, and funds in li hands of the County Treasurer, applica ble to the payment thereof, amount Jo H,f. 29.49, up to A pril 1 , 1901, w hich leave. total indebtedness of f 138,211.24. Fcr the sis months ending April I, 1901, the total expense of conducting the courjy government amounted to $18,02871. This, rememlier, for six months. On the 1st day of April, 1901, the total . indebtedness, outstanding warrant, and e-timated accruer! Interest thereon, , in Lake county, was 105,225 12. The State taxes, State levy and State taxe bonn.tr levy due the Sta'e of Oregon May 1, 1901, swelled the above indebtedness to f 75,585.02. To offset thia indebtedness there are funds in the county treasury, funds in the hands of the Tax Collector, funds on hand applicable to the jyment of all State taxes, and from other resour ces, to the amount of 139,481.20. Thia deducted from the total indebtedness leaves the insignificant sum of $3ti,103.8'.! in whi.b Lake county is indebted. And stili there are local calamity howler, who cry about and bewail the awful financial condition in which Lakerounty limlx itxelf. It costs Lake county about $15,000 ikt year to conduct its govern ment, while it coots Jackxon county f li,02H.71 to conduct its government for kix months. Iike county owes $3f, lO.'l. 82 in total ; Jackson county owes f loM.211.24.

This "Many Citizens," "Many Taxpayers" communication is a "fake" so old that it has hair on it, and smells of just two calamity howlers, neither of whom pay enough taxes to buy a bunch of lead pencils. These fellows ask a whole lot of fool questions want to know how the money paid for county taxes is ex pended, etc. Their questions are an swered by County Clerk Gunther, Sheriff Dunlap and Treasurer Beall in their semi-annual financial statement published in the Lake County Examiner of April 11, 1901. The taxpayers are perfectly satisfied with the management of the financial affairs ol Lake county, Hiid know that the business of the county is conducted as economically as any county in the State.

The Silver Lake and l'aisley baseball teams w ill lie assured a game here ou July 4th as it is arranged to have at least two teams here from outside of Goose Lake valley to com pete in the tourna ment.

When final arrangements are made within a couple of weeks the manager of the Lakeview team will advise the bull play ers up north of the complete arrange ment. Creamery Plant Wrecked. The machinery for the Alturas Cream ery plant was wrecked while en route from the East, and the plant was re turned to the factory. Another plant will be shipped at once from the East, but it will delay operations at Alturas for about three weeks. Mr. Mitchell, the creamery man, was in Cedarvilte all last week looking after the matter of es tablishing a creamery there. He w ill be in Lakeview about the middle of May.
