but will still be about 200 miles from

the dwellers In the extreme southern
part of the state hae not yet given
up the route through thelrowustate
to market Is shown by the fact that
lit spite of the close proximity of the
two roads reaching up from Califor
nia, the great bulk of the freight
last year still came north by the
long wagon Journey from lakevlcw
to Shanlko, and quite a little busi
ness came from Klamath Pall,
which was last season within less
than a day's staging of a railroad.

1017 RABBITS KILLED.
The rabbit hunt Sunday by the
Lakevlew club was not quite so suc
ccessful as anticipated on account of
the stormy day. Some of the lest
hunters either did not hunt much or
were not In a rabbit section. The
number of rabbits killed was several
huudred more than was killed on
and previous occasion, but there
were more hunters. Another hunt is
The big rabbit hunt organized by
I ieople on the West Side of Goose
1 Lake In the vicinity of the Colon
j School house, came to f-wi bust Thurs
day after ten days of Vittughter.
I However, pribably not more than
ithri-' or four days were actually
Kpent In killing the pests on account
of the stormy weather that prevail
ed during the time.
When the final count was made
there were found to lie Just 2!90
scalps on the two sides. But had
all those who particlpnted in the
i hunt tMen on hand with their scalps
j the count would have been 3140 and
the losing side would have won the
day. Ira Budiop had 150 scalps to
his credit but was not. on hand at
the count, causing his side to lose.
A big dance was given at Union
School house last Friday night to
j celebrate the event aud a general
j good time was the result. Some
j eople from town were there, and
J several more started but returned
after going out a few railes on ac
count of the deep snow and stormy
weather. There was a basket sup
ht at midnight.

land has all to gain and nothing to ,
lose if sho goes out after tho rich j talked of for next Sunday,
trade of this section. In this county,
from Paisley south, our trade has
always lieen with Han Francisco,
and the Indications point favorably
to a continuance of It. The Oregon
lan errs when It says that the
great bulk of the freight last year
was hauled from Lakevlew to
Shanlko, 300 miles by team.
The people of Lake couuty would
far rather see the Columbia Southern
extended to Lakevlew than any
other road, tor the reason that we
are a part of Oregon, and would like
to do our trading at the metropolis,
or where politics and many other
things compels our dtixens to go
several times during the year.
At every hunt new captains choose
sides and It will lie noticed that a
few new names are added each time.
