In the last year of The Examiner's existance we have made many friends and brought the venom to the service of those who have never lieen our friends and never intended to be; thus we do not Itelieve we have made any enemies; simply showed up those we had. For the friends we have made we ure glad, and it is lucky for any man to know his enemies. We have ours, so has every man. We intend to deal with ours us leniently as their own uc tioiw will permit. We have not named tlieni nor eounteil them; let them be who they may, they are those who could not handle us ami j becanieangered. li we have an enemy it is not our fault, hut theirs.

' 'I nientof thegovern- nient now taken the ground that no nppltciiHoim to retidvertlHe timber claims within the area temporarily withdrawn for forestry nurpoKe will lie allowed not even If the ap plication lie made within 10 day" of first proof date. A cone decided tin the 3(th of hint September Is taken as the IishIh for such action. The line of reasoning In thin: The tlinlier and stone law tloeanot authorize withholding land applied for under it for a longer time than 10 dny after the date Drat named for proof. However, the practice of the government nan leen to allow re udvestiseiiient when there wan no adverse claim to Interfere. That Ih the government would not object If othein did not. Hut now the gov ernment nppeiirn hh another party, with an order withdrawing the hind for forestry purposes. This Ih held to prevent any readvertlHement within the withdrawn area, the govern meat's withdrawal order hav ing attached Immediately upon ex piration of applicant" rightH under lirHt advertisement. Not only doeH thin apply to future appIicatioiiH but to rend vertisementH already allowed an well. Proof up on them will not lie authorized and ,lril xv" 'rem entry. And claims on which proof has alreiuly been niatle under readvertisemeiit nut hori.eil by the government. If there be any such, do not seem to lie covered by the new ruling. Some Bits from Paisley. The Paisley correspondent to the Silver Lake Oregonian states: "That a girl was born to the wife of Allien Iiunistcr on Decemlter 24: that the large doll rallied off by Ainsworth &i Withers was won by M. ('. Currier (l!ud has the record of winning every doll rallied off in Pals ley.) That W. V. Miller's team ran awuy with his new sleigh; that .1. S. Elder is seriously talked of as the next editor of tin; ('hewnucun Post; that John .Shoehn.i, the Summer Lake sheep king was in Paisley re cently; that the first SHOW fell In J'aisl ey December l':id.

The marsh contains 1.,01)0 acres of rich and productive land." A Wonderful Industry. "Think oi it! .More money came to Surprise Valley from the sale of ul falfa seed than from the sale of cat tle mid hay combined'. This was the statement math; to us by Win. Toney miring ins visit to Alturas this week and we learn is vouched for by no li-ss authority than W. T. Cressier.

Tlie seed is used for various purposes and there is no danger of the industry being overdone. It Is used for the manufacture of oil, dyes, food and various other purposes. Another thing: Alfalfi will not go to Meed on rich or Irrigated laud, but reijuir e from two to three years for the plants to fully mature, after which no further attention Is required. " Alturas I'lalndealer. (It has occurred to us a number of times and In fact The Examiner has mentioned that alfalfa raining In Lake county would lie a paying Indimtrv. Alfalfa grows hereabund- antly and matures. To think that In Crook county alfalfa seed sells for JO cents per pound and very scarce at that nrlce. Alfalfa irrowers of Surprise valley raise the need, haul It to Keno, to Alturas and to Lake view and sell It for from 12 to 14 cents and make a big profit on It. If a lot of pur people would plant their Idle lauds to alfalfa their con dition would lie bettered. At the Coming Session. The big fellows who do things In the state legislature are busily at work now formulating plans. They have the speakership of the house dwindled down to three, A. L. MI1U, W. I. Vowter and T. 11. Kay. Mills Is a Multliioiuali niau and will have the support of the Multnomah dele gation. In as much us Multnomah has decided not to try for the presi dency of the senate, they expect Mr. Ktiykendall of Lane county who Is a candidate for the presidency, to throw his strength to Mr. Mills for speaker. In the House there arc i"0 republicans and 10 democrats. It! i will take 2li republicans iii the caucus j to land a speaker and Multnomah 1 has half of them. ! There ure two candidates for pres-! ident of the Senate, Senator Carter j of Jackson and Senator Kuykeudall' of Lane. Carter claims 10 reptilili- j cans in the Senate and Kuykeudall: 12, and : are doubtful, there being 2."i republicans in the Senate and .1 dem - ocrats. Senator Laycock will be for 11 Carter. A Bully Dance. 'J'hat the ladies can put the boys in the shade on conducting a dance was demonstrated last Saturday night when the inemlM-rs of the dauclng club turned the hall over to the ladies for a leap Year dance. Their management of the affair was without fault, and now some of the boys are wishing that every Satur day night was I'up Year. Why, everybody got to dance; there was no wall llowers; even the Examiner man was seen on the floor trying to dance, mid it was remarked by some of the most enthusiastic that had the editor of tin- Herald been there. even he Would have been lnxl:.l i..1 'dance.
