This was in response to an iiitiiir.v
in regard to the extension of tin Col

The Kxaminer docs not doubt Mr.
Ly ties' Intention, in fact, understood
this to Ik the case ulr of the time,
which caused this paper to lie tilled
with railroad articles for several
years past on that strain. liut cir
cumstances alter cases occasionally,
and The Kxaminer will not be con
vinced that the Columbia Southern
will reach Iikeview until it
reaches and passes P.etid. However,
we will continue to encourage and
hope for this extension, as we believe
that nothing short of the extension
of this road to Lnkeview will ever
make Lake county a portion of On
gon. nnd make it build up like it
should. California has our trade, and i
will keep it until this or a similar!
road is built.
' But again, t lie Intentions of rail
road builders are not to lie full v relied
upon, as evidenced in the past. The
Union Pacific railroad surveyed a
line through this County In ivj) and
intended to construct a line through
our virgin empire, but it hasn't done
it. The X. C. O. branch from Reno
surveyed their line to Lukeview lie
fore the Columbia Southern was
thought of. gave on t the (information
that they would build here, make a
terminus, but they haven't done it.
Xow, the fact remains that no road
penetrates Lake County, and until
some more definite move is made, it
cannot be Implied from a statement
that it will lie done. The Kxaminer
has worked faithfully for the upbuild
ing of Lake county, with the liest in
terest of the ieople nt heart, and
will continue to do so.
