Miss Ethel McFarlaiicl lias ro enter ed school after an absence of several weeks. All are glad to welcome her back. "Dm'" Do Arinoud was a Normal visitor last Monday. Owing to the Junior-Senior recep tion last Friday evening the boy de bating society held no debute, but the regular debate will be held as usual next Friday. The debate with A. II. S. has loou called off by the High School boys, for reasons Iwst known to themselves, altho tho Normal boys suspect tho real reason. There being no other school of espial grade in Southern Oregon with whom the boy can debate, It has been decid ed to have the depute In Chapel witli two speakers each morning until the debate is finished. Messrs Jonas, Martin and Inlow have taken the negative side. The first of the debate was given lust Wed nesday morning. Miss Viola Phiostcr has taken charge of tho Morton district school near Medford. The school will open next Monday. ('Impel Topics. Thusrday, "Hypna tism," Prof. Payne. Monday, "Duties of tho President's private secretary," Miss Doughty. Tuesday, by Prof. Van Scoy, "Tho teacher's Problem." Theso were excellent d is cusslous and were listened to with in lerest by all. Iast Friday evening wus held thc- anuual reception given by tho Juniors to the Seniors. It was held iu the Chapel which for tho occasion had been artistically and tastefully deco rated with evergreens and orange and white, the class colors of the senior class. After a long enjoyable evening seut in social games and contests, came the bauuiiet and after that the toasts which were the crowning feature of tho event. After everyone had partak en of tho bountiful supply of good things tho thoughtful Juuiors had pro vided, that Prince of good fellows, the eloquent Prof. Mulkey was chosen toastmaster. The first toast was "The Senior Class" by Harry Sayles, pres ident of Junior class; this was fol lowed by "Tho Juuiors," by O. H. Now ton, the sedate president of the Senior class, who, in his eloquent outburst of oratory held his hearers spell-bound. The third was "Standards" by Miss Edith McCuue, who iu her usual way captivated her hearers; Next came "ships" by Mrs. E. 11. Wickersohn of the faculty, and lust but not least camo "Tho here and When," liy Miss Ileebe of tho senior class. Miss ISuebo fairly out-shone herself in this and held her delighted hearers as if by magic. This is by far tho best recep tion ever held at the Normal and tho Juuiors are to be commended for the musterly maimer in which the event was planned and carried out. E. W. P. Second Payment Not Made. Ivau Hainmersely was up from Pine Creek last Saturday and Sunday. He Informed us that Wade fc Rood had gotten their mines buck. He says Mr. Ueed wus the only ouo who had receiv ed any money out of tho deal, as Mr. Wude had preferred to wait till the seooud payment was mudo and get his money all iu a pilo, and ns the second payment was not made ho did uot get any mouey out of the deal. Ivan said he, himself, had sold his interest iu three claims for 9175. Times, he says, have boon bretty good ut Pino Creek all winter as a result of tho mining boom, and he predicts the discovery of some rich diggings lu the mouutuius between here ami the State Liue tho coming summer. Hammer- ulcy stuted that he had visited Ed. Howell's uiino recently and that Mr. Howell hud run a tunnel expecting to find a ledge, but missed the ledge, and was now working ou another prospect. Prospect work Is going on iu several of the camps, and other claims will be locutod as soou as tho suow goes out of the mouutuius. FIRE IN CHAMBER COMMERCE BLOCK. Portland Commercial and One Man Fire hroke out at 2:.'W o'clock on the afternoon of April 7, In tho Portland Commercial Club up In tho eighth story of tho Chainlx!r of Commerce building in Portland and imprisoned fifty or more people, who all escaped but one. Homer Hallock, an employee of tho Willamette Valley Traction Co. lost hi foothold while scaling the cornice to reach a fire escape and fell seven s to lies to a skylight inf the court of tho building and was killed instantly. Many es-aos were miraculous. Tom Richardson, the last man to be resigned, had a very narrow escape. He climbed out of a window to the cornice near tho top of tho building where he stood, covering his face w ith ' his arms as the smoke and flames smote him and tried to suflocate him, whilo the fire department fought des- Ha ao Ball Season has Opened. Tho ouso ball season opened List week. The first game was played be tween Lakeview and New Pine Creek on the Pine Creek diamond, the latter team being tho victors by a big score. The next game was pulled off in Lakeview between the regular Lake view team and a picked nine, the reg ulars w luning in a walk. Some very good plays were registered for both sides, and especially noticeable was the stunt of first baseman Henry of the picked team when ho was banded a straight from third, but failed V. capture tho sphere iu its swift flight Houry was not muny minutes in mak ing up his mind to go after the bal! and got started after considerable effort. His progress was slow at first but automobile like accumulated speed as he warmed up. Some one yelled "brakes on" when Henry reached the fence, but the track was slick and a dow n grade. The air brake would 't work aud the momentum was so great that Henry's running gears refused to respond to tho reactionary move ment of his long arms, and over the fence he plunged and the enormous speed ho had attained spent its viol ence in the plowed ground beyent, aud lioyd's long strides brought him home iu the interval. Reynold's gymnastic performance in delivering tho bull ,waa a delusion and tho regulars fanned the air. Two or three times the reg's were caught sleeping olf the lmse aud Rubber sent tho ball hurling to the basemen, reach ing there iu plenty of time to send tho runner ou the buck track lu a walk. Dr. Smith ably umpired the game aud his decisions were popular among the picked team. Through courtesy and sympathy we will uot give the score. Other practice games will follow, which will put the regulurs In good trim for the coming events of the sea sou. Sheep Soles. A number of sheep sales are report ed for this week, among them: J. M. Hammersley sold about 2T0 head to W. 11. Routsou for fo per head. C. I-i Sherlock sold 750 heud to Routsou at $". Euipaist Bros, sold about 2000 to W. U. Scott of Eaglevllle, receiving for them, $3.25 for yearling ewes after shearing, $5 for bucks after shearing and $3.25 fo old ewes, delivered the first of September. Buyers are ottering $2.50 for year ling wethers after shearing, but raisers are not. unxlous to sell ut that figure. Railroad News. Wo received some very relluble rail road news yesterday, the source of which, while it is not policy to dis close at present, is absolutely reliable. A crew of surveyors coming iu from Colorado arrived at Madeline ou the Cth, and ou Mouduy, April 0th, com menced surveying between Likely and Alluras. Our informant says the pros pects for extension of the railroad through this country are brighter than at uuy time previous, and predicts early work. Club's Rooms Gutted Fell to Death. perotely and the life raving gang rai ed extension ladders to bis perilous position. The ladder was 30 feet short when hoisted and horridly a scaling ladder was sent up, which reached four men standing on a cornice 'Jfi feet below Mr. itichurdson. These men were let down and then another scal ing ladder was sent up which reached Mr. Richardson, and he was rescued. Great excitement prevailed through out tho entire life saving scene and many women fainted at the awful sight. Msny men jumped from the windows in the Hth story to a life net stretched on tho roof of an adjoining one-story building. One man broke through 1 tho net and received serious injuries, i The damage to the Chamber of Com ! merce building and the Portland Coin- mercial Club will reach a half million dollars. From Che Scale Line. Bert Wade, E. Keller, George Ham ersley and Cbas. Laughlin went to IHdwell to attend the mining meeting held at that place recently, as repre sentatives from New Piue Creek. George Whorton and Jack IJatchel der were there also and represented Lakeview. F. T. Guuther and W. 11. Shirk were visitors in our burg last Satur day from Lakeview. John Vincent has been very sick the past few days. Quite a crowd of merry dancers came down from Lakeview hist Friday evening to attend tho dance given here in the evening after the ball game. A J great deal of interest was shown iu me bail game, the nrst or the season, and the Pine Creek boys were quite jubilant over having captured first honors. The dance wad also a pleasant affair. We hope the Lakeview people who stayed for the dance were as sore and tired the next morning as the buse bull boys. Rev. Howard and family moved down from your city Monday. Don't forget tho Easter services at tho Baptist Church Saturday night, also at the Christain Church Sunday. All are invited to attend. Fish have commenced to run in the creeks. The ice has all gone from the luke and that beautiful, smiling, rip ling buckground for the State Line City now presents a pleasing appear ance. Say stranger I w hen you come to Pine Creek, and feel that longing in your stomach about noon, Bill Blurton says he can relieve you. E. S. Ede has been very busy, since he got tho hotel back, hauling rock to fix the floor with in the barn, not the hotel. Hackney and Henderson, freighters, left for the railroud last week. Asa Whetstone was up town. Monday. Fred Hamersley and Ray Blurton went to Lakeview Sunday. Plowing is in full blast iu this part of the valley just now and farmers are looking ahead to a prosperous seusou. Crops , will be abundant this year and if prices are equivalent to the labor expended, pocket books, as well as granaries will burst with contents when the harvest is in. Hum. Whitney's Candidacy Tho Klumuth Fulls Republican says thut J. R. Whitney is the only candi date for state printer thut does not promise tho elimination of graft lu thut office. Mr. Whitney has ably and honestly conducted thut office for one term and knows there Is no graft to eliminate, and no one has heard of any graft there during Mr. Whitney's term of office until other candidates for the position have undertaken to wrest the job from him, and used the old and worn-out "graft" club as a campaign slogan. Those who have made the charge of graft in the state printing office do not attempt to prove their assertion, but simply go ou re peating the charge. . It is an ugly method of securing a position aud should not be resorted to unless those making the charge can, aud do, show thut their stutmouts are well founded. Mr. Whitney, having been one of the plain, honest men of the state, does not think bin das of people, which represent a majority at the polls, can be diiK;d, by selfish assertion, to commit a wrong by voting to oust one of Jheir number from a position he has honestly gained and has no honestly filled that none other than those who seek to oust him can see reasons why he should not tie accord ed the same privilege every other man in like positions have received at the will of the people, that of a second nomination. We do not ask a single man to vote for Mr. Whitney, he re ceived every lU-publican vote in the county when he was elected to the place without solicitation. They vot ed for him license they believed him an honest and capable man, and un less it has been proven to them that he is not, they certainly do not regret their choice. A great deal of respon sibility rests upon the voter in casting his ballot for state officers who he does not personally know, and know to be honest and capable men. The voters, a big majority of them in the county, took a chance with Mr. Whit ney. Now the question is, do they know that their judgment was wrong? Did they make a mistake? Ia any Lake county Republican ready to ac knowledge that he made a mistake, upon briing told bo by some man whose motives are purely selfish? Resolutions. A Resolution on the death of Brother William L. Millis, a member of Woodbridge Lodge No. 131, Free and Accepted Masons of Woodbridge, California, who died at Lakeview, Oregon April third 1906, aged 77 years 8 months and 23 days. At a Regular Meeting of Lakeview Lodge No. 71 Ancient Free and Ac cepted Masons, held at their Lodge room In the Masonic Temple in Lake- view Oregon, Saturday evening, April 7tb, 190C, these Resolutions were adopted Whereas the Grand Master of the Universe having been pleased to call from earthly labor to eternal refresh ments our well beloved BROTHER W lUwIAAi LJ MIL.1X l".Cvho SO endeared himself to us by his cour tesy and affability, that his memory will ever be cherished in our hearts, therefore be it Resolved , that bowing as we do in humble submission to the Devine will, we mourn the loss of an earnest Brother aud faithful Friend, whose daily life so clearly reflected the fundamental truths and tenets of our fraternity. Resolved, that we sincerely, deeply and affectionately sympathize with his afflicted family in their sorrow, reminding them that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb looks down with infinite compassion upon them in the hour of their desolation. Resolved that a copy of these Reso lutions be sent to the family of our deceased Brother, that a copy be also transmitted to Woodbridge Lodge No. 131, that a copy be spread upon the minutes of our Lodge, and that a copy be sent to the local newspapers for publication. Chas. Umbach, V. A. Massingill, A. S. Down. Committee. Turned the Tables. Robt. Nelson,, the West Side farm er, was in town a few days last weeK for medical treatment. Mr. Nelson tells a joke on himself. He asys sev eral years ago when his son, George, was a small chap, they had a dog over ou the ranch that had become worn out and old and sick, and they could not give him away, so one day he brought the dog to town and left him. It was a time when the dog ordinance was in force here, and the Marshall re lieved Mr. Nelson of the burden of keeping the dog. He says George re membered the circumstance, and wheu he complained lust week of feel ing old and worn out and sick, George brought him to tow n. Severely Froien. A man by the name of Vance Blev ins, whose people live in North Caro lina, Who has been working at A. II. Baruum'a sheep camp, was severely frozen during the March storms. He was out after the sheep aud became lost aud wandered around in the storm until completely exhausted, when he gave up and was found sev eral hours luter unconscious. He re mained so for about 15 hours but came through the ordoal safely, and is all right now. Bailey & Massing ill are buying wool aain. raving 20 cents. They bought 70,000 or 80.000 pounds this week from W. U. Scott of Eaglevillo, also two or three small lots in this valley. NORTHERN LAKE'S REPRESENTATION, Good Men Have Served in County Court Since Organization. OREGQNIAN IGNORES SERVICES. fieri Who Have Served Were as Good Men as Can be Found In the State. It is rank injustice to assert that Northern Lake County has not had a representative in the county court for ten years, as the Silver Lake Oregon ian stated recently. A. V. Lane, W. O. Hough, Geo. L. Gilfry, J. M. Mar tin and W. A Currier, all Northern Lake County men, are as good men aa the county ever had, either in office or out. These men have served in the county court in the last ten years, and no county in the state or no pre cinct in this county can boast of bet ter representation. These men, all that are living of them, will certainly feel hurt to knew that the service they have rendered has been ignored. The Silver Lake Oregonian in taking the initial step in politics of the season should refrain from casting stigma upon the good men who have so ably and assiduously labored for the inter eets of the section of the county that paper pretends to represent. Not a political line has been cast by any of the papers in the county till the Ore gonian made its debut. Look over the records Bro., and see where Northern Lake haa been represented in the county court every year since the county waa orgun'zed, . t-n-J by good men. We are not saying, how ever, that it was undeserved, but simply holding up for the good men' who have' devoted their time to tho welfare of Lake county as a whole. To show the people where the Ore gonian is wrong, the following elec tions are referred to : 1876 - - - S. P. Moss, North - - - A. Tenbrook, South 1878 - - C. E.

A strange story comes from Warner valley that the geese became totally blind during certain intervals of the recent storm in that section. Parties said as a general thing the geese were very wild and difficult to approach, but at times anyone could ride or walk amongst them without their ap parently noticing him. The geese seemed loathe to fly even when they became aware of the presence of per Bons. Their actions caused a great deal of comment until it was decided the geese were blind. Some man In Warner, whose name we did not learn, Is said to huve gone out hunt ing geese, and not having become aware of the sudden strangeness of the birds upon seeing a band soma distance away began to exercise his knowledge of strategic maneuvering to gain close quarters. He succeeded in getting near enough to shoot and blazed both barrels of his shot gun into the flock, to his amazement not a goose moved and he thought he bad killed the entire band. He walked up to thorn and found that they were all frozen stiff, and dead. V,
