Ahlard Normal School Notes.
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.

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

Houry was not muny minutes in mak

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

or three times the reg's were caught

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

A number of sheep sales are report

Buyers are ottering $2.50 for year

are not. unxlous to sell ut that figure.
Railroad News.

A crew of surveyors coming iu from
Colorado arrived at Madeline ou the

four men standing on a cornice 'Jfi feet

Great excitement prevailed through

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

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?

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

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.

gonian is wrong, the following elec

Ceese Became Blind.
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.
