It appears upon ilit face to U' h dow nright steal. The tirm imliuvl ninny to make deposits ly paying 4, 5 and per cent interest on time ileitt. A rumor was euirrnt to the effect that n large nuinWi of county warrants and oilier negotiable instruments er carried out of the bank by a friend of the Uillierts just lie fore the crash came. Another was tliHt the bankers, having large sums oi money due them, ordered them deposited to their credit in some other institution, but that their debtors (let lined to do this, and etill hold the money. There are many pathetic incident in connection with the failure of this bank that could - l chronic'ed, it is said. Aside from the school savings hank, aggregating from f 1500 to f2,0J0, there are deposits ct poor widows and orphans, receipts from beneficiary societies. In several cases of the amounts so received by widows and deposited with the bank, the losses will bring untold hardships, and the indignation expressed on aleui's streets on this account might well strike terror to the hearts of the bankers. One g -ntleman, a prominent business man, openly stated that no violence would be too severe to punish the despoilers of widows and orphans, and his indignation was shared by those v. ho heard him. The colony of people, who, a fe'v weeks ago, settled on a body of land near Paisley, in this county, that our tdd residents have for years passed over a "worthless," are wondering why this land was left to them to locate. They are writing to their friends in all parts of the country to come to Lake county and take up some "worthless'' land. In a very short time these colonists will have homes on this "worthless" land that will make the homes of some of theold-timers look like thirty cents. A prominent business man of l.ake view we won't give his name for fear some people may call him a "crank" makes the assertion that in no part of Lake county is it necessary to irrigate to raise uimmI crops of grain, and in many localities it is imnecessMrv to irrigate to grow alfalfa. He even asserts that the great "desert" of Ijike countv could be made the abode of hundreds of thrifty homes ami ranches without the irriga tion idea tieiug adhered to. Cultivation, this gentleman claims, is the important step to W taken thorough cultivation. He helivca that water for domestic pur poses can lie found easily on the"desert," and that theie la sufficient moisture in the earth to raise crops without arti ficial uses. He claims that all that is necessary to make the west sde of tiootte Lake one continued stretch of alfalfa and garden ia thorough clearing and cultivation. With the ground cleared the abode of the jackrabbit would tie removed to other localities, and, in the absence of that festive gar den despoilcr, fine settings of a (a If a could lie made in that locality, and gar dens would flourish like t "green bay tree." The Examiner believes it is lack of industry and a spirit of pessimism, gen erally prevailing in this country, that keeps back general improvement. Our people make a living and a little more with too little exertion. We venture the assertion that some day there will scarcely be a foot of laud on the "des ert" that will not be put to some use. A thrifty lot of new (teople will apfiear in our midst people who tiave budded homes far away from here, under many disadvantages, and know what it is to earn bread by tiie sweat of the brow and then there w ill lie seen a great trans formation in this section. More people and thrifty people are what we want in Southeastern Oregon. By this we do not imply that the major ity of jieople here are indolent, hut that they make a living w ith too little exer tion and without aay effort at improve ment or bettering their conditions of life. With more energy, exertion, good, hard work, a wonderful change could be made in Iake county. There is no doubting the assertion that in the near future many thousands of acres of land now considered worthless because Mature, unassisted by the hand of man, tails to produce big crops of anything HEN PEOPLE TALK OF GENTS FURNISHING GOODS, DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, ETC., AND OP GOOD PLACES TO BUY THEM, OUR STORE IS SURE TO BE FAVORABLY MENTIONED.
