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."

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

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.
