Spring Fights Open Up fcnnmlner Fall, to Arrive and a "Kick" I. Registered. A complaint reachesns this week from Plush to the effect that the last isue of The Examiner had not arrived at that place. The writer says : "The pajMTH we longed for last week never came." The ItiK hundle of Examiner's fur our subscriber at Plush left this office as usual last Thursday and should have reached the Plush postoflice on Friday welling. We cannot account for the miscarriage. The correspondent, "One of the Hoys," further says: "If you have stopped publishing owing to lack of news, I'll help you out. I'MIHH I.IH AI, .loTH. The sick in this vicinity are all on the improve. Kliler Jones is expecting to open a re vival meeting here soon. It is a notice able fact that since the Elder made his appearance here the chickens roost high in the tree tops. " Spring fights opened up in Plush last Monday. It's a little early, hut no epi demic is expected. A JJ employe and a Uimrodker came together (gooseljerry rules). Thu former came out on top, but Himrock took supper with him dur ing the mix up, taking a piece out of the JJ cheek about the size of a doit's paw, and finished up on three of his best fingers.

Too Late (or l-est Week. Plush, Oregon, February 15, 1P02. (To the Editor:) Again I will try to send you the local happenings of Warner's great metropolis. We have been having all kinds of happenings since my last "great mai den efTort." G. W. Wise and six of his children were confined to their beds at one time last week. The "Guvnor" had a slight attack of pneumonia as did one of the children ; the remainder of the family had severe attacks of la gripjie. 'Mrs. John Morris and Plum Overton, who have been threatened with pneumo nia, are greatly improved. If anybody in this section wants a doctor I would ad vise them to send Frank Kiggs or Jeff Parish, for these boys move as long as the horses hold out. We had one of the grandest balls on St. Valentine's night ever held in Plush I have not time, (and you haven'tspace) to tell of all those who came from Adel and Dugout country, bat suffice it to say the number was about fifty. The supper given by Mrs. G. W. Wise waa pronounced a success. The music was furnished by the Plush String Hand consisting of G. W. Wise, Miss Tina Wise and Oscar Huffman, assisted by the old standby 01 Jacobs. Everything went off lovely while the traditional goose swung back and forth in an ele vated position. The front gate at the Ma pes ranch now has asign which reads as follows : "Scalps of all kinds taken here; for full particulars inquire of Hill George." As a sprinter, the people of Plush are ready at any time and place to back Charley Wallace against all couiers and goers. Hoozie Wise left today for the P ranch in Harney county, where lie went to avoid being "Hammered." Eldkk Jonks. From the Land of Oranges. Santa Anna, Cal., February 17, 1902. (To the Editor: Your paper comes to us every week and we value it as "a letter from home." We left Lakeview for Southern California in the early part of June, last year. After an overland journey by team we arrived at this place (Santa Anna the first day of July. Santa Anna is a town of about 0000 population, and the county seat of Orange county. It is reached by both the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe railroads. It is about thirty miles south of Los Angeles, and twenty miles from the coast. The country here is needing ra;n badly, as there has been only a total rainfall for the season thus far of 1 inches. Times are fairly good. Oranges, English walnuts, celery and sugar beets are the principal crops in this auction. Celery is grown in the fiat lands near here which do not require irrigation, nor rain, but are hy nature inoiht enough. This country has a fine climate and is otherwise a very good country, but a Mbar'l" of money is a great conveni3iieo, and unless a man liaa it he is no better off here than in many other places. Es pecially would I advise people who are fairly woll off where they are to think not owly twioe, "aH several times, be PRINCE HENRY OF PRUSSIA.

Perfection is hard to find. There are thorns among the roses everywhere, and there are fleas as well as flowers in Southern California. With kind regards to all inquiring friends. I am Yours Truly, S. D. Coultkr. Sheep on Reserves. The Secretary of War has fixed the limit of the number of sheep to be al lowed to grate on the several forest re serves during the season of 1902. Under the arrangement now outlined 200,000 sheep will be permitted in the Cascade reserve from June 15 to October 15; 25, 000 in the Washington reserve, and 170, 000 in the Mount Rainier reserve, east of the Cascade range. Permits in Wash ington run from July 1 to September 25. In addition to these sheep a modest number of cattle and horses will be permitted, but on these uo definite limit is fixed. On other reserves in the Pacific Northwest the department holds that sheep grazing would be injurious to the forest cover or water supply, and hence will not bo allowed. Grazing this year, as heretofore, will be by permits issued by the department, although no applications have yet been received. The Oregouian special correspondent at Washington, D. C, says : "The fact that the Democrats are making a Wing fght on the Philippine situation be comes more and more apparent. Teller disappointed them by taking a middle ground, holding that the Philippines were rightly the property of the United States, and expressing the conviction that some good had been accomplished by American occupation. At thu mine lime, the Democrats are exasjieraied because the country does not seem to sustain them iu the course they are taking," Receipt Dated 1878. The Ashland Tidings rays that A. Mc Callen, cashier of the Fint National Bank of Ashland, in overhauling some of his old papers the other day, came across a receipted bill that reminded him of the flight of time and the changes that have taken place in the geography of Southern Oregon in 25 years. It was dated in 1878 and the amount waa $5.50, for publishing in the Ashland Tidings (O. C. Applegate & Co.. publishers, and J. M. Sutton, editor ) the notice of the treasurer of Lake county calling in pro tested warrants for payment. Mr. Mc Callen at that time and for many years thereafter was treasurer of Lake county, which in those days included the present county of Klamath in its boundaries and its settlers were few comparatively and far between. No newspaper was pub lished in that territory at that time and legal notices were published in the Tidings, in the neighboring county of Jackson, which, it may be added, at a still earlier period in the history of the state, embraced both Klamath and Lake counties in its boundaries. An exchange says: The individual who gets the fewest letters makes the most complaint to the postoflice; the man who never had a good meal at home growls at the hotel accomodations; the man who complains most of his neigh bors is the meanest of the lot; the church member who pays the least to the preacher's salary finds the most fault and always complains of the bad management of the church; the man who never invests a dollar in town enter prises is the man who is always crying down public imprt vements ; the loafer or no account workiuau is always to the front in strikes and labor agitation, and the subscriber who is slowest to pay his subscription finds the most fault of Lis paper. EUREKA AND THE EASTERN Few Can Realize the Importance of This Great Railroad-Will Open Great Inland Em pire of This Section. The Courier is in receipt of Dow, Jones & Co's. Wall Street Journal News Bulletin of Feb. 6th, announcing the completion of arrangements for con etruction of the Redding-Eureka or Redding & Eastern railroad as it is called hy the organizers. The revival of this project, with this rather authoritative backiug and endorsement, and great as the enterprise may appear to local inter ests, very few only those acquainted with thu vast country the road will pen etrate can fully realize the great im portance of this line. It w ill not only give Eureka, a tide-water town, the prestige of a great commercial city, riv aling to a large extent the business in terest of San Francisco its imports and exports now amounting annually to $6,000,000 but it will open in Humbolt, Trinity and Western Shasta, one of the richest territories in mining, lumber ing, stock-raising and agricultnral re sources than ever existed on earth. More than that its extension north through Shasta and Fall River, through Modoc and southeastern Oregon will oped another island empire, whose- fields are capable of the granary and larder of the consuming population East and West, and beyond the seas. Two vast produc ing principalities, opulent in virgin re sources, will be opened to the trade and traffic of the world. Let as hope and pray that the Eureka&Eastern railroad is soon to oe a reality. WANT MAIL SERVICE. Petition For Establishment of Star Root flail Service From Plush to Fluke. A petition to the Hon. Postmatujr General at Washington, D. C, for the establishment of a Star Route mail line from Plush to Fluke is being circulated in the Warner section and Lakeview. The petitioners (heads of families; ask that the route be established as follows : Starting at Plush, Lake County, State of Oregon, and running to the proposed new postoflice to bo called Fluke, in Lake County, Oregon, a dis tance of 40 miles. Services on said route to be twice a week, and to connect at Plush with the mail from Lakeview, Oregon, and Ft. Bidwell, Cal. The pe tition is being generally signed in Lake view and can be found at the postoflice. The people to be accommodated on the proposed route deserve better mail fa cilities than they are now allowed, and The Examiner hopes that the prayer ol petitioners may be granted. Surprised His Wife. An exchange tells of a farmer who wore an old suit of clothes until it was so frail be couldn't strike a match on his trousers for fear of ripping them. His wife expostulated so often and so many neighbohood remarks came to his tars that he decided to surprise them all by driving to town and buying a new one. On his way home that evening he conceived the idea of putting on the clothes and surprising his wife, Eliza, out of her wits. o he stopped on the bridge over the .reek and jeled off his rags and threw them into the river, and then, shivering with cold, he begau groping for the new clothes. They were gone, fallen out of the wagon. He sur prised Eliza. Ti-ai
