Mr. Fulton is nwaro that tho creation of VHHt true tii into liovcrnment reserves will have strong tondoney to retard development lu Oregon, lu fact ono of Oregon's brightest prospects in the development of tho viiMt area now held in temporary forest reserves and that under considorat ion for additi onal reserves. While Mr. Fulton U a hard worker for tho state's best interest, tho peo ple ought not to depend upon hi in alouo; they ohould uliow tlieir hearty support of him liy protest Iiir aKaiitHt the creation of these reserves.

Tbonipeon of the Alturaa Itain- doaler, who paid Lakevlew a visit re cently, the first time lu 11 yearn, gave (Jooso Inko Valley, partly in Mo-dm- and partly In Lake County, a glowing write-up. In npoaking of the farms he ald : "On every band were evidences of thrift, prosx-rlty and good taste. Beautiful farm houses, many of them iiite pretentious, and abining with new paint, have replaced the cabins of pioneer days. New and comodioint barmi were everywhere iuen, while the ImmeuHe rleks of hay gave asauranco that the hundreds of cattle and horsen were amply provided for. Shade trees and orchardM surrounded the farm Iioiisch lending additional charm to the quiet, prosperous scene. " Of I'lne Cre-k and Iakevicw Mr. Thoiiipsou said : "We passed through New l'ine ('reek without a stop. Tlie town, half iu Cal ifornia and half in Oregon, has grown U-yoiid our comprehension. From a stage station it has grown to a thriv ing village, with stores, drug stores and livery stables. We reached Ijiikeview at (Jrlid and re ceived a hearty welcomo from our old friend, F. 1. Light, landlord and manager of the town's chief hostelry tho Hotel Ijakcview. This is the most commodious, best arranged and Wst conducted hotel in the nort hern coun try and is indeed a credit to the en terprising and public spirited citizens of lakeview. On every hand tho samo pride and I public hpirit manifested itself. Iirick and concrete buildings have replaced the old mmshaklo structures of the long ago. Stores, drug stores, and even saloons presented a neat and at tractive appearance. All were neat and arranged in the Ut of taste present ing in fact, a citylled air." Irish Party.

Readers of Tbe Examiner will re member a few weeks ago an Item ap pearing in these columns to tbe effect that a movement was on foot for tbe construction of a railroad from Eur eka, California to Casper, Wyoming, with branch lines, backed by suffi cient capital to push the road to com pletion in three years. The main line to pass through Lakeview. The following dispatch from Eureka appeared in the Oregonian of the 8th. F. L. Evans, a civil engineer, claim ing to be backed ly one of the trans continental railroad magnates, . has proposed to build a railroad from Eureka east to Casper, Wyo., there to connect With four lines. He comes before Humholt people asking a guar antee bonus of 2120,000 in the event that the road is completed within three years. The proposed route Is from Eureka, the terminus, to Delta Trinity River, striking Pitt Rier, fol lowing that stream through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, touching Alturas thence to Lakevlew and Vole, in Ore gon, thence through Southern Idaho and to Casper, Wyo. The distance of the direct line is 1100 miles, and with spurs and branches 1800 miles." Nob Expected to Live. A. W. Manring received a letter from a doctor in the San Barnidioo, Calif., hospital, stating that a man named W. R. Bond was brought there for treat ment for a broken hip, which injury he received while assisting some va queros in roping wild horses in a cor ral. The letter stated that Mr. Bond wrs out of funds and asked to be ad vised as to the possibility ofjhim get ting financial assistance from here. Mr. Manring sent him some money, and received a telegram later stating Mr. Bond's chances for recovery were very slim. Mr. Bond is an old timer in Lake county, having resided iu Warner valley for many years, where he still owns a ranch, leased by his nephew, E. E. Boud. Mr. Bond's many frieuds in this county will be pained to learn of his misfortune, and hope for his recovery. May Irrigate Malheur. It begins to look now like Oregon would, after all, receive some benefit from the- immense reclamation fund that the state has contributed to so liberally. The following annuonce meut from Washington impresses one with the belief that the Malheur pro ject is not dead yet : "Director Walcott, of the reclama tion service, has recommended to the secretary of the interior that wagon grant lauds be excluded from the Mal heur irrigation broject and that the work be commenced at once. This leaves 20,000 acres to be reclaimed at a cost of 800,000. It is expected that Secretary Hitchcock will follow the recommendation. Twenty-three thous and acres of land in Oregon were withdrawn for use iu the Malheur project ou the 3rd of this" month." Finds Mine in Ashland. John T. Maupih has opened up a quartz ledge ou his residence and or chard property ou Montana street lately bought by him aud which is known as the O. II. Blount place. The ledge matter is about 7 feet thick aud appears to be a normal vein formation. Assays have beeu obtain ed of from $10 to 12 per ton, which indicates a paying property. Mr. Maupiu will make such explorations as may bo necessary to show the sub stantial character of the find. Ash land Tidings. Mr.Manpin's Lake County friends will lie glad to hoar of this bit of good fortune thut has come to a former Lake couuty man. Johu Maupiu has resided iu Warner Valley for many years, until lust summer, he went to Ashland. Representative Kuhu, of California, has introduced a bill in Congress ap propriating 1,00,000, for the celebra tion of the 400th anniversary of the discovrey of the Pacific Ocean, by Balboa, by holding an international exposition at San Francisco in 1913. An intended feature of the exposition is an immeuse naval review of the ships of all natious, on Sept. 25, the day when Balboa first saw the Pacific. JOHNS CANDIDATE FOejOVEBIIOR, Announces His Plat-' form this Week. HE IS A LIFE-IONG REPUBLICAN Promineut Man in Baker City, Havlnjr Been Elected May or Several Times. Mr, C. A. Johns, of Baker City, Re publican candidate for Governor, was born in Jackson county, Missouri on June 25, 1857; came to Oregon in Dec emlter following year and has been here ever since. He received early education in the public schools at Scio. Linn county; Was admitted to the bar in 1881 and commenced to practice law at Dallas, Oregon. Served ascounty judge of Polk County by appointment. He moved -to Baker City in 1888, where be has since resid ed. He is an attorney by profession, has never held a political office. Was formerly twice mayor of Baker City and is the present mayor, having been elected by the bigest majority any one ever received for the office. Is serv ing fourth consecutive term as School Director and received every vote cast at the lost election. No person has stronger home endorsement. Following are Mr. John's beliefs as to state government and tbe platform npon which he announces his candi dacy : The affairs of state should be conducted with a high sense of honor and on sound business principles and a broad plane of equality, and to that end there should be a watchful care and vigilance over every department. The high and the low, the rich and the poor should receive the same cour teous treatment. The laboring man has tbe same right to be heard as tbo railway magnate or the millionaire. The state school fond should be treated as sacred, and there should be no juggling with school lands. A law should be enacted, preventing specu lation in, or the sale or assignment of school land certificates. The Land Agent should not be allowed to have any favorites, or speulate through knowledge obtained by virtue of office ;. There should be no adjuncts to or around this office and it should always be above suspicion. All kinds of property, including franchises, should be required to pay a just and reasonable tax, and express and similar companies should pay a tax ou their gross earnings in the state. ' A law should provide for a State Bank Examiner with conservative plenary power. The primary law was enacted by a vote of a large majority of the people and is entitled to, and should be giv en, a fair trial aud should be repre sented both as to its meaning and in tent. From sentiment aud conviction, I stand with President Roosevelt ou the labor question, and am in thorough accord with him on tbe question of railroad legislation. I am a firm believer iu, and an ar dent supporter of, our public school system, I favor liberal fupport to, and a high standard of education ; and with rare exceptions think our own boys aud girls should be educated w ithin the state of Oregon. If successful, in my' administration the needs aud wishes of the peopla will be tho only "boss" aud the only "machine," and there will be no "favorites" aud nobody will have a "pull' aud I will give the state an houest, clean, conscientious aud vig ilaut administration, "of the people, by the people and for the people." Charles A. Johns. Readvertisement Not Necessary. A new ruling of the general land office requiriug suplimentary evldenco in cases of final proof on timber and stone lauds where witnesses had not visited the land immediately proceed ing giving testimony, caused some un easiness ou the part of applicants for timber lands. The situation, however, is not so alarming, as re-adertisement is not necessary in such cases, nor is it nec essary to use the same witnesses, any two witnesses, who have been on tho ground at a stated receut date will suffice. 4
