They Take Their Sea's And Begin the Perfor ance of Their Duties The now county olIicerH have boon sw orn In, and enter upon thoirdutles under fa vorable auspices. The out H'ointf otlicers leave no black mark upon their books and records, and the county indebtedness is not of such magnitude as to disparage any effort on the part of their successors to reduce the tlebt in the same pro portion as it was reduced nndertheir administration of affairs. .lude Charles Tonninj;son and Commissioner J. M. Martin jfU'e up 1 heir oflices to tlieir successors with full knowledge that they performed tlieir duties honestly and conscien tiously and tot ho host of their ability. No man can say with any honesty in his composition that either of these Kont lemon, during tlieir Incumbency, over knowingly tlid a wronjj act and their administration, with the assistance of S. .1. I'rose, lias been one of the best and most economical that Lake county has over had. The Examiner believes that 15. Daly and W. A. Currier will make a record that no man may Ik? ashamed of at least wo hope so. There should bo no doubt about it, for t hoy are both business men of experience, and can conduct the business of the coun ty in n satisfactory manner. William (Junther. the retiring clerk of Lake county, surrenders the books of bis oflico to his Hiiccessor with as clean a record as any dork over wont out of business on. Everybody knows "I!illy" (Junther's honesty, and hundreds of people who have had business at the clerk's offiot- durinir the past two years will re member him for courtesies extended to them ami favors rendered. "o favor to the taxpayer of Lake coun ,.v nsan accommodation and conven ionce to them, was over "too much wiirk for nothing for "Jiilly (jiin- ! success and happiness, j A. W. Manring, his successor, en ! tors upon his duties with the kindest I consideration of the public. Mr. Man ! ring is a conscientious man, and the people of this county need have no ! fear of his stewardship. He has th: abilitv to conduct the duties of the j office in a first-class manner, and, be sides, "Hi" Manring has the good I w ill of every citizen. I It is unnecessary to say a "parting I word" for Horace Dunlap, because he succeeds himself as sheriff of Lake county. During the late campaign The Examiner said that H. It. Dun lap was one of the best sheriffs Lake county ever had, and wo have had no reason to think otherwise since that time neither will the public have reason to think differently at the close of his official career. ljtw lieall has been an efficient coun ty teasuror and succeeds himself to that office. His past record id a guarantee that his mn'ond term as Lake county's treasurer will be au honorable one. In conclusion, The Examiner ex tends Its compliments to the new re gloine, and hopes that their terms of office may redound to their credit and to the lMst inteivsts if the tax payers. Cogswell Gets Hunlcipal Office. Mayor ltowe of Portland turned over the othce to his successor Mayor Williams, on July 1st., ami U'foiv doing so made two appointments that created some surprise among the politicians. Mayor ltowe accept ed the rosignit ion of A. L. Maxwell ami C. X. Kaukin as members of the board of public works and the board tif police commissioners, respectively, and made the appointment of Mr. Maxwell to succeed Mr. Itankin and j have also been chosen for iutermedl of C. A. Cogswell to take the place ate grades. County Superintendent of Mr. Maxwell in the controlling body. In event of the next Ijegisla ture adopting the new Port land char ter, these position will lie declared null and void: otherwise the now appointments will hold throu-hont the full term of Mayor Williams of-1 nee. The Fourth in Lakevlew. Tno Fourth of July passed off quietly in Lakoviow. There was no demonstration toward apuieraland united celebration everybody cele brated in their own way. Small bays fired bombs ami crackers, and fireworks wore sot off in various parts of town during the night. There was a semblance of "old times," ami that was all. In the evening, lovers of the dance wore at Harry hall, and enjoyed one of the best dances of the season. There was a large attendance, and many pretty continue wore worn by the ladies. The supper at Hotel Lake view was pronounced an excellent one. The ball was given under the auspices of the Lake County Agricul tural Association. A Successful Operation. Mention was made in The. Exam iner last week regarding the journey of Miss Effie Itinohart, with her parents, to San Francisco, Miss Ilinehart has boon ill for Koine time, mid entered an hospital to be oper ated upon by faniMiis physicians of San Francisco. I'eports this week from the city are to the effect that Miss Rinehart was operated on for appendicitis at the Woman's Hospi tal on July 1st, and that the opera tion was a complete success. The young lady is improveing daily. !This Is good newH to her many friends. Frank Partin, the popular young nice rider, loft for Susanville on Tues day. Tartin can ride with the best of them, and is recognized as a "square ridor."He took charge of the high bred colt "Yito," the property of M. T.

Currier, the county comnijs sioiier elect, was in Lakeview this week. The Examiner has nothing to say against the new commission er personally no man who knows him has but his politico "are politi cally bad," and we hoie to see him reform some day. I'oliticH left aside, The Examiner believes that Mr. Cur rier will prove a model commission er. "What is the difference between a sow ing machine and a kiss?" asked a Fourth of July young man in Lake view of his sweetheart. They came over from a rural district, and were crunching peanuts. It was a cold day and she sighed as she looked at the ice-cream sign In front of the Monogram. She was studying an answer for her honey-boy and finally hit on this: "One sews wenm nice, and the other seems no nice." They were seen an hour later with the love light in their eyes. Fourth of July week was cold, rainy and altogether dlHagnrable in Lakeview. "The fireworks made it rain." A day's racing had to be postponed. On Fourth of July morn ing the higher hills were heavily cov ered with snow. Itain to the amount of .50 of an inch fell here during the week. A large amount of hay was down and considerable of it was spoiled for first-class sale. Alfalfa was injured the most, but the rain was beneficial to growing grain, so the good-natured farmer of Lake county who had hay down remarked, "my loss is somebody's gain," and w ent about his business with a smile. The Directors of the Lakeview school district have so far selected the teachers for the Lakeview school for the coming school year. Miss I'carl Hall has been asked to again take the primary department, but has not yet accepted. Miss Ethel Force, a teacher from the Monmouth Normal school has lieen elected for the 7th and th grades. Miss Ella Callahan and Miss Grace I. Driver Willits has au application in for the principalship, and he is being consid ered, but there are other applications j and the dirtH'tom ure yet undecided. LAKE COUNTY LAND DEAL Transfer Made of 10,000 Acres Located in Sil ver Lake District. Some time ago a suit, was begun In San Francsico against Ex-United States Senator ('has. N. Felt (in by ('has. Stallman, administrator of the estate of Chas. Hadsell. The suit was brought for an accounting mid wixh on Juno I'.Hh dissmissod by stipula tion of the parties, each one pay ing his own costs. Hadsell and Fel ton wore associated in an Oregon land enterprise, several thousand acres of said land being located in the Silver Lake district, this county. In iss:t Henry C Owen of Oregon, who had obtained from the officials of this state certificates for!MMI,(HlO acres of swamp lands, made an agreement witli Felt on and Hadsell, givingeach one of them a one-third interest In the lands. Folton and Hadsell were to advance money when needed, and the sums they contributed were to be re paid out of the proceeds of laud sales. At the time the agreement was made Folton hail advanced Dl.Tl".:!-' to Owen, and hold the certificates as se curity. On December 13. 1!)00, Folton gave notice to Stallman as administrator and to Hadsell's heirs, Charles F. Hadsell, Annie M. Hadsell and Ber tha A. Stallman, that .$ 272,311.70 was due him on June 21, 15)00, under the agreement for advances and in terest, and that he would proceed to sell about 14,000 acres of land to re imburse himself. Suit was insti tuted by Stallmtin's attorneys, Strut ton & Kaufman, to prevent this sale and to compel Folton to disclose the receipts and disbursements under the agreement. It was alleged in the complaint that Folton had collected over $:;00,000 for lands sold, had never given Hadsell an accounting, and had received much more than the amount of his outlay. Judge Sloss, in December last, rul ed that the complaint stated a cause of action for an accounting, but in some particulars it should be made more definite. An amended com plaint was not filed, however, but instead a settlement was arranged, and on June l!)th the dismissal was entered. Another suit by Stallman against Folton is pending. In it If 17,300 is asked from Folton. It is alleged that he received $ 13,000 from Hadsell to invest and thatthe profits on the Investment were f 2300. Fol ton in his answer denies all the al legations. A record of transfer was made in the office of the clerk of Lake county, last Monday, by the Hadsell heirs for lands in Lake county embracing about 10,000 acres, which passes to Folton. This land is in Silver Lake valley and also includes the Catlow ranch, in Crook county. The record shows a claim of $2;0,N.'i3-3(i by Fol ton against the estate, for money, advanced. The Silver Lake property, is a part of 102.0(H) acres of land tak en by Owen under the swamp act, which is now transferred to Folton to make him good. . It has been reported during the past week that there has lieen from one to a dozen cases of smallpox in (Vdarvillo.
