The Base Boll Came Saneay.
Another good practice game of base
ball was played on the Lakeview dia
mond last Sunday- between the State
Line team and the home nine. The
Pine Creek boys played somewhat out
of luck aud loot the game by' a score
of 11 to 4. Nevertheless they played
good ball, but the Lakeview players
are always on the lookout for "scoops"
and few opportunities to take advan
tage of error are overlooked. As
much can be said of the State LJne
boys, hence the interest manifest in
tbeae Sunady practice game. Both
sides bave learned that there is little
chance of a baseman failngl to freez on
to a lall bandedhim for the purpose of
disqualifying a runner or a fielder
miming a fly, ao tbey never feel over
safe unions their foot is square on the
base. t
Dr. E. IL Smith umpired the game
Sunday, and bis decision seemed to
tie fair to both sides.
Other practice games will follow from
time to time, and both town will tie
favored equally with visits from the
other to watch the games. So far
the honors have been about eqaally
divided and no one ia aafe in placing
his money or his reputation a a guesa-
er on either of the teams when tbey
enter the arena.

We, the undersigned grand jury of

tbe District Attorney or other parties;
that we bave examined tbe books of
the Sheriff, Clerk and Treasure nd
find that tbe same bave been kept In
a neat and workmanlike manner, and
we beg to report that we bave exam

condemn tbe Court Hotise for tbe fol
lowing reasons: That tbe Court
Hons is entirely too small and inade

tbe public needs; that there la.no

session of tbe Circuit Court; that
there are no chambers for the Circuit
Judge and be la compelled to nse his

N. C. O. IslU Alturas.
(From tbe New Era. ) j
Last Saturday Alturas wss favored
by a visit from T. F. Dun na way,
vice-president of tbe N C-O. Railway
Co., and Mr. Oliver, chief of the sur
veying corps of tbe road.' These gen
tlemen came to look over tbe land
with a view tdletermlnlng the ad
visability of which route will tbe moet
advanageous for tbe proposed exten
sion of be N. CO. '
Tbey were heartily welcomed by the
executive committee of tbe Chamber
of Commerce, on behalf of tba citi
zens of our town who are anxious for
tbe Railroad to come to this place.
Mr. Dunnaway discussed tbe mat
ter freely with the committee, and In
tbe afternoon be and Mr. Oliver drove
over several tracts of land which
had been proposed as suitable site
for a depot, and upon which the
chamber of commerce had secured
options for that purpose.
That evening a banquet was given
by the executive committee, at wbicb
Mr. Dunnaway aud Mr. Oliver were
the guests of honor. We are inform
ed that It waa a highly honorable
occasion, and that champaign and
eloquence flowed freely. The mem
bers of the chamber of commerce as
sured Mr. Dunnaway, on, behalf of
the people of Alturas, that our town
would be glad and willing for the
railroad to build into the corpoiate
limits.
Mr. Dunnaway stated as a positive
fact that tbe road will be extended at
least as far as Likely, as they now
have euough rails on hand to lay the
track for that .distance. But, as la
bor Is ao difficult to obtain, he
fear that the road may not be built
as far as Alturas this fall. However,
even If the, road la extended only to
Likely this season, Mr. Dunnaway
thinks the grade will be built for
quite a distance on this side ' of that
towu, so that the exteuson work can
be pushed forward as soon as labor
oan be obtained.
Mr. Duunaway seemed to heartily
appreciate the kindly feeling of our
towu towards his company and said
that preseut he could see no raasou
why the road should not be built Into
Alturas when it Is extended this far,
as it is evident there would be uo
difficulty In procuring a right of way
from laud owner along the pro
posed route.

Do Not Favor Woman Suffrage

lowing statement:
We, the undersigned, believe that It
would be Injurious to the general wel

Others After Thieves
From tbe following article published
In the Plalndealer, it would seem that
cause for action on the part of stock
men everywhere to rid the country of
horse and cattle thieves is justifiable.
"Tbe Westren Modoc Stock Associa
tion offers a reward of $500.00 for the
arrest of and conviction of any person
stealing or destroying any stock be
longing to any member of the Associa
tion. There can be no question but
a large number of cattle and bones
are annually stolen by prowling scoun
drels from that and other sections of
Modoc County, and in our opinion,
and we measure our words advisedly,
citizens are justified in going to any
length 'to rid tbe county and the
world of their presence."
Men who plunder the ranges are as
criminal as those who plunder vaults
and other depositories, and should be
dealt with just as severely, when ap
prehended, and known positively to
have committed tbe crime or even at
tempted to.
Kp away Frost,
Robt Nelson. In conversation with
an Examiner representative a few days
ago, gave a formula for motectins
fruit from frost that Is worthy of at
tent ion, and tbe experiment should
be tried. Tne plan Is this: Place
under the trees several vesels and fill
them with water, then take a woolen
string and fasten a rock or weight of
some kind to one end of the string
and tie the other end to a limb or
twig up tn the tree, and put the
weighted end in tbe vessel of water.
Attach a numtter of theee atrinira thus
the more the better and the
young fruit will not be Injured by
severe frosts. He says that ioe collects
on these strings very thick and can be
scraped off. Mr. Nelson says he knows
