No dispatches were nccived by The Iixam iner, hut the report comes from Klamath Falls that the Democrats concede Hermann's election by 2,000.

These luci- dents an' daily bccoiulug more mini-1 erous, ami since the withdrawal of pratlcally all the public lands in Lake county, it begins to daw n on some of our citizens that said land ollice belongs of right to this, place, having been here originally, ami, in fact , was established and known as the "Llnktou Laud Ollice," locat ed at "Linkville," In the early 70's. and was only moved to Lakevlew by political strategy; not because it was of public utility or accoin- 1,000 and will carry nearly Lake county Monday wiih extremely I ! !

It thcugiH'Hon to nnk the people of that county how they shall go at ! it to bring about the desired change, and winds up by saying: Who will j be the next one to speak? Will some one please move the previous quest- j Ion?" The Fxaminer would like to , be permitted to say a few words 1 before the question Is voted on and ( carried. Not that we think that there is any probability of the Laud ollice being removed within the near future, but to explode a portion of the high sounding theory that the Kx press presents. To begin with Klamath Falls is only L'O miles east of the west boundary of tills land district, while Lakevlew Is 100 miles fart hep east, ami yet It Ih nearly lirft nillcH from lien- to theeanterii bound ary of the district. There Ih prolm li ly double the amount of available vacant, government land cast of I aki'vlew, iih then Ih went, and jx'opli- coming from cant of here to prove up on their land, haven hard er road to travel than from any other part of the dUtrict. It Ih ipilte true that the Iind olflci.' Should ! centrally locau-d h hm to Ih' convenient to the mont H'ople living within the dUtrlct. However It wan not the Intention of the gov ernment when the Land olllec wan Htablinhed there to make It conven ient for people who do not live, or ever Intend to live lu the dintrict, an for liiHtance thoHc who come from MluneKota and Iowa. We will leave It to the H'ople who live within the Lakevlew land dUtrict, thone who make their Iioiiich here and vote here, if Lakcview Ih not more central ly liH-ated. and more convenient, than Klamath 1'allH? We consider z that there Ih no argument what ever, In favor of the removal of the Land ollice from Ijikevlew to Klam ath, tiuerttlon? The Vote For Goddess.

Silver Lake, May 21, (Sjeclal) Fire completely destroyed the dwell ing of W. II. McCall, four miles north of here, at 8 o'clock this morning. Loss $2,000. No Insurance. Mrs. McOall, her two youngest sons, one of whom was sick with a threatened attack of typhoid fever, and Marlon Conley, and family who were vlHitlng Mrs. McCall at the time were eating breakfast when the falling in of the celling In the upper story alarmed them. One of the children, a boy G or 7 years old, took some Itedding up stairs and threw them down against an exposed stove-pipe. He returned down stairs, Joining the rest at breakfast. In a few minutes they were alarmed by the celling upstairs falling in. Mrs. McCall rushed to tlie stairs, ami on opening the door the Haines belched down upon her. There was no wind blowing at the time or the barn and out houses would have been destroyed. Mrs. Conley succeeded In saving two trunks, a sewing machine, a bureau and 3 or 4 chairs. Mr. McCall and his two sons, A din and Ira, were not at home. Sl'HAlUiS. A REAL LIVE AUTOHOBILE. Was in Lake view Nearly a Whole Day on Way From San Fran cisco to New York City. The way the Htreets of Iikeview wen.' lined with fieople Tuesday afternoon, one would think a clrcun was coming to town, or a 4th of July priH.-esHlon was about to paim. While It was neither, the iieople's curiosity had lieen aroused from a r-port that an automobile wait coming this way, and that if they wlnhed to see it pass It was neces sary to have a seat In the front row, otlwrwine It might go through at the rate of !KI miles an hour, aul ) would 1h out of sight liefore they could run a blin k. It hove in sight at Just 4 o'clock and the crowds surged forward to get a first look at a real live auto, a machine that nine tentliH of the K'ople of Lake county had never seen. The machine drove up In front of Hotel Lakevlew and Htopped. The Chauffeur enquired, for a blacksmith shop, having had a mishap coming over the rough roads. A broken spring and a badly worn tire caused a halt In Lakeview. The machiue was taken to Arrner's shop where the necessary repaira were made. The Examiner learned that Dr. N. Nelson Jacksou, a wealthy gentle man of Iturllngton, Vermont, is try- 'ng to make the trip from San Fran cisco to New York, the feat having Ist'U attempted a dozen, times by others, and as many times aband- t oned when they came in contact with the great American desert. The automobile is in ciiarge of S. H. Crocker, of Tacoma, a chauffeur of exK'rience. This trip was projected early in the spring, when Postmaster Wilcox was written to about the roads through here, and who as sured them that via Lakeview lies the only feasible way to avoid the sandy deserts from San Francisco to New York. While they have lost 5 out of the 11 days from San Francis co, yet they expect to average 175 miles er day for the entire distance. Ix'aving here yesterday afternoon they exisvt to reach Burns 170 miles distant last night. From Ontario they will follow the line of the Oregon Short Line and Union Pacific railroad. If the feat of crossing the American continent is accomplished by these gentlemen, the record will 15 put down In history as the first auto to meet with success. The gentlemen te well pleased with Lakevlew, and bid the citizens a hearty farewell as they sailed away In their cushioned car. Later. The machine broke down liefore it got out of town ami will have to remain a day or two longer. Rapid Sheep Shearing. The fastest sheep shearing that our attention has been called to this season was done at the Curry corrals on the West Side last week. A crew of nine men sheared 3,100 sheep lu 3 days, an average of 11!) head per day for each man. This is a very good showing, as very few shearers average over Ml, and a man that can shear 100 is considered a good worker. Tills crow under tieo. Jones, foreman, consists of Johu and 11. C. Aldrldge, II. ltosl well, F. Freeman, Jack Green, Andy Cnnterberry, II. C. Fanchen and J. ltalnbrldge. The boys have gone ttt Kouml Mountain where they have n 20 day shearing job.
