COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
The Lake County Examiner was
again made t lie County official i'aper
by the county court In session last
week. The decision was easily reach
ed, when the Examiner aud Herald
were required to submit lists of their
eubscrilters within the county. The
Examiner has tWu subscribers and
The Herald 411'.
We wish to say to our advertisers
that (j4." does not by any means rep
resent The Examiner's circulation as
the list submitted to the county
court wus coufiued to residents of
the county. The Examiner has u
circulation outside of the county
larger than that within th" county.
This is the largest list ever put In
for this paper. Last year The Ex
aminer was made the County official j
Paper on a list of 4.V. An increase !

To Settle Range Trouble.
One of the most Important meas
ures to come up liefore the legisla
ture now In Session, from an Eastern
Oregon view. Is the one affecting the
ranges of this portion of the state
to lie Introduced by Representative
Steiner of Lakevlew, making couut
les and muuicijialities reHjionslble
for damages to projierty destroyed
within their boundaries by mob rule
or riots of any character.
The measure will meet with ui-
proval over the state, as the range
troubles in Eesteru Oregon bus re-
-...!,.,. 1 I. 1 .1
' ' Ideal which has been cherished
of acquisition of range by force. The !
measure is thought to bean insen-j
live to taxpayers of these counties j
to run down such depredations and
reduce lawlessness of this character
nient to advertisers, and the further i u il ""Illml""-
assurance that the management
shall strive to keep up its rapid pace
is certainly jiroof of The Examiner's
worth as au advertising medium.
It is not so much w luit t he ad vertiser
himself wants to see In a paper that
makes It a valuable paper in which
to advertise, but the great number
of other people who want to read it
and do read it that makes the sjiace
valuable.
The projiosed creation of a new
Captured at Last.
At lust Port Arthur has been cap
tured. This time it is no josh. The
Japs captured the fort on New Years
day aud took formal possession on
the second. The Russians surrender
ed everything, even their sick and
wounded, who will be cared for at
the fort until such time as they cao
be safely removed to Russian hos
pitals. For this charitable at the
Japs are noted.
"If Senator Mitchell follows the in
exorable rule of Senatorial etiquette,
he will not appear on the floor of
the Senate again until the courts
have taken final action In tbe matter
of the Indictment found against him.
If there is anything upon which Sen
ators are Insistent, it Is upon the
point of Integrity of every man who
holds membership with them in
common on the floor of the upper
house.
"Secretary Hitchcock is reported
as being pleased with the indictment
of Senator Mitchell aud Representa
tive Hermann, of Oregon. Of course
this feeling of elation must lie ascrib
ed to the proper desire to punish
rascality of whatever station. The
episode itself is dejiressing. The
thought that men whose position
attest the public confidence in which
they have lieen held should be
brought under suspicion ami then
directly accused of crime assails an
with
pride. In this connection the fact is
to lie remembered that grand jury
; indictments often jirove to be bnsc
j less errors. It is rendered upon the
j showing of one side of a case. This,

Washington Insjiati'h to Uit OrtfRnulau.
It was stated this morning that
more indictments are to lie found
and while it Is declared that no such
well-kuown ollicials as Senator Mit
chell or Mr. Hermann are to lie nam
ed in the indictments, evidence has
f lieeti obtained against some verv

to secure the one or the other, to
smirch the character of any oue, and
says that he paid Mitchell for his ser
vice $2000.
"Of course, in view of the fact that
all the detailed circumstances attend
Ing the transaction have the receipt
of the money are substantially ad
mitted to have occurred. It was easy
for a swift and willing purjurer such
as Puter to Inject the one element
necessary to convert an otherwise
Innocent transaction, so, far as Mit
chell is concerned, into a crime. He
did so by swearing he paid to Mit
chell the money, and In consequence
a man who hits served his state In
the Senate for almost a quarter of a
ceutury without his name having
Iteen connected or associated with
any charge or whlsjer of a charge
of corruption, is now, at the age of
70 years, compelled to go into court
and defend his character.
'Certainly no trial Jury will con
