VOL. XXVII. LAKEVIKW, LAKE COUNT V, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1900. NO. 28, ARMY WORM'S . FIRST VISIT Came From Mountain in Q rent Swarms. FIRE AND WATER USED FREELY. Oardens and flower Bed Were Threatened- Description of The Army Worm. A Mint iinw to tlio country for a few lays Unit of the week threatened de vastation of Ho worn anil garden stuff in the uortli end of town, mid may yet provo mora damaging limn in now thought, If tho post spreads and be comes more numerous. Tlio Army worm made its appearance at tlio foot of the hill about E. E. Wodeock'a residence and did considerable dam ago beforo their presence was noticed. Aa noon a it waa known thut the nrmy wonn pout threatened the town, thoso who were acquainted with tbia I Mint from experience in the East at ouee set about to fight the enemy. Sheep dip waa applied first, with tem lrary effect, and water was freely inted to atny the progress of tho vast compact of crawling destruction, but too, with only temporary effect. Resident cleared broad paths around their places and kept it swept clean end waU'hnd the approach of the enemy, to meet it with fire and other Kiiro method of ektermiution. Tho jHJHt In of audi rare occurence in this country that very little U known of it. The International Encyclopedia give the following docsriptlou of tho army worm : "Army worm in the northern states the larva of a nocturil moth. It Krowa to nearly 2 inches In length; Ha ap pearance varies with the successful inuultiugs, aa la common with cater pillars, but when growu it Is dark gray mitred with three yellow stripes above and a broader one of the samo color along each Hide.

Hotel Struck by Lightning. Klamath Fall whs visited July Cth, by an electric storm, accompanied by a general rain throughout the basin of much benefit to upland crops. Aside from Interference with tele phono communication no dumage of consequence waa done. The Amreicnn hotel was struck by a bolt of lightening that tore a clean cut hole about the size of a 41-callhro bullet throught two lloors, shattered a mirror, broke an Incandescent light and demolished an electric fan, with out doing injury to any of the guests In the place. A New Tax Law. The changes In the Oregon tax laws proposed by the Tax Commissioner for enactment next" January by the Legislature are aa follows : Taxation of railroads, steam and -electilc, and of power copmanios op crating In more than one county, on basis of net earnings, capitalized at a fair interest rate. Taxation of banks National, state nnd private, ou capital stock, surplus and undivided profits. Reduction of the household exemp tion from $300 to 9200. County Treasurer instead of Sheriff to be tax collector. Washington system of certificates of tax delinquency, In the Interest of better tax titles. State to rocelve 10 per cent of all li quor llconses. Tax Comiinssion of five members, to be created, for the purpose of assess ing public utility corporations and supervising all assessments in the state. To Maintain Dally Mall. Klamath comity people will endeav or to maintain a daily mall from tho west over tho Weed railroad, since the I'okegama road has declared Sun day closing. liy 'July 15th tho Weed road will bo completed to a point where a good stage and freight road is built to Laird's Landing, and mail and freight will le carried from there to Klamath Fulls by boat seven times a week, if the movement now ou foot does not miscarry. This w ill probably bring Portland mail to Iakevicw one tiny later than It arrives now. Lakevew had a taste of tho four days service from Portland two years ago, and through tho efforts of The Examiner a three day crvico Las Ix-eti In force since. It ought, by thU time, to Ijo ap parent to the people of Lake county that every socalled advance move made In tho progress of the country west of us Is a set back to Lake coun ty. Lake county in udvanciug rapid ly lu every way, where tho evolutive agencies rise ami set within its bor ders, but wherever tho succession of changes is dependent, in part or whole, upon tho progress of other sec tions, our county always gets tho blunt end of the advauco movement. So often has this fact !ceu driven homo with such stinging results that our ix'ople should realize that perma nent and sure development and actual progress must have outside backing, and to get and maintain this, no little elfort should ln spared to open up highways for the entrance, from all directions, of causes for the desired progress, regardless of interests local to other communities. Tho fact that we had a daily mail from the West has heretofore proved an obstacle to a daily service from the north. If proior in fluuece had been brought to bear when tho increase in tho null service from tho terminus of the Columbia Southern railroad south to Paisley, tho service could have been made daily instead of six times a week. Had this been done, we would now bo In a position to continue our daily mail service from Portland on a three day achcdulo, regardless of the recent action of the Weyerhauser people in shutting off the daily mail from the west. It is evident that Klamath poo pie are doing the best they can for themselves in establishing a daily mail over the Weed line, but they are bringing thomselvea in closer touch with San Francisco than Portland. Drowned in Lost RJver. James Edward McClure of Poe val ley was drowned while attempting to ford Lost rivei near the Ilorton ranch Sunday, June 21. He had been to see the llorton'a and left that ranch about 11 o'clock, telephoning to his fathor, W. II. McCluro, that be would be home for dinner. Nothing was thought of his failure to reach home on time, for very often he would fail to keep such appointments, being de tained by a cuttle deal, or other busi ness connected therewith, for he was a cattle buyer. When ho failed to show up after a few days absence and nothing was hoard from him, search was institut ed, and tho remains were found last Saturday, June 30, about 200 yards below the ford, floating on the surface of Lost river. It was fully dressed, and about $90.00 lu gold was found in the pockets. The horse was found a short distance away, saddled and bridled. Klamath Falls Republican.

Prof. Ilig- ( College to complete the education in ley expects to return here in a few practical work, Lakevlew will have weeks to make further and more care ful Investigation. He was quite fav orably Impressed with Lakeview aa a suitable location, and if further re search seems to substantiate his first Impression, he will begin preparations for the founding of a college, to open about September. He thinks with an enrollment of 25 or .'10 pupils to begin with the success of tbo venture would lie assured. A building would be leas ed at first until such time as conven ience and consistency would warrant the purchase of suitable grounds and the erection of a modern building for the purpose. Competent Instructors will be pro- I made an advance step that will place it at tho top in educational lines. There is many a young man and young lady and they needn't be so young, either in Lake and adjoining coun ties who would like to complete their education with a business conrse if It were possible without going far away and remaining two or three years. A (Justness College bere with our excel lent publio school with its high school grades added will provide ample op portunity for any one to complete their education. Lakeview has, for years, been noted for its excellent schools, and has never missed an opportunity to go a step higher.

No Suggestions to Make. Before leaving for Oregon after the adjournment of Congress Senator Ful ton had a conference with Forester Pinchot regarding the proposed crea tion of four forest reserves in Oregon in the immediate future. Fulton told Pinchot the people of the state had no suggestions to make regarding any of these reserves, except that in the Rogue river country they asked that any of the land now. withdrawn in Curry county be permanently reserved at this time, and that those lands iu Curry county lying along Btreams ; oore o IS Boll Games. The full score and summary of all the ball games played during Fourth week appears below, with each game separate : Pluyers Freeberg p Boone cf Carroll as Bigelow lb Storkman 2b Hobart If Snider rf McDonald 3b which are withdrawn be immediately restored to entry. Pinchot agreed to abide by thoir wishes, and when the Rogue River Re serve is created, it will not include any part of Curry county, though withdrawals iu that county will stand. Later on it will be determined bow much of this area shall be added to the reserve. There being no objections to the Goose Lake, Freemont and Heppner reserves, they will be created along the lines of withdrawals now in effect. Proclamations creating these reserves are expected within a short time. Ashland lidlngs.

OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington July 3. Few Senators accomplished more in the way of local legislation for their states or constit uents during the session of Congress just closed than did Senator Fulton, of Oregon. The results which he at tained are the more to his credit be cause of the handicaps nnder which be labored. But his achievements of the session are not confined to local legis lation ; he took a conspicuous part in the fight in behalf of the railroad rate bill, and by reason of that participa tion brought himself Ut the front and won recognition at the hands of the Senate leaders, as was recently testifi ed to by Senator Aldrich, in an inter view printed in The Oregon ian. For the first three weeks of the re cent session Senator Fulton was the only member of the Oregon delegation in Washington.' Senator Gearin was sworn in just before the holiday re cess, but Hermann bad been of no as sistance to the two Senators in their fight for legislation, and as far as re sults are concerned, - Mr. Hermann might as well have followed the ex ample of bis unfortunate colleague and remained away from Washington . Senator Gearin was not in a posi tion to throw much support to Oregon legislation tlis Winter,;, Uj: be., was a new Senator and a member of the minority party. He ' fully realized that under the circumstances he could not hope to spring into prominence, and made no attempt whatever to force himself to the front To have done so would have been to invite hu miliation at the bands of the older Senators. His modest, unassuming course was most commendable under the circumstances. The burden of securing local legisla tion, therefore, devolved almost en tirely upon tbe shoulders of Senator Fulton, both in the House and in the Senate. It was he who had to arrange for the report and passage of bills through the Senate, and then follow them to the House and see that they were not sidetracked or buried. He realized that he could personally not appear before House committees, but he had many conferences with the Speaker, and time and again called on Representative Jones, of Washing ton, to look after Oregon legislation. The Washington man was a loyal friend of his neighbor state, a friend in need, and in point of fact, did more for Oregon this Winter than any other member of the House. In this way, by relying on his friends, and by furnishing the House committees with facts in support of his bills, Sen ator Fulton managed to accomplish a great deal Oregon ian. Luta-HaU. Elmer D. Lutz and Miss Grace Hall were married at the home of Miss Hall's sister, Mrs. C D. Buick, where she has been stopping for several months, on June 29th. Miss Hall lived in Lakeview for a year, leaving cere about one year ago. She is a step-sister to Dr. and Miss Pearl Hall of Lakeview, and bad many intimate friends here. Mr. Lutz is a well known stock man of the Silver Lake end of the valley, he too, being well acquainted in Lake- view, where he can claim many warm friends. The Examiner joins the many f reinds of both bride and groom i n wishing them unbounded happiness and complete success throughout lite. Done in Court. Dan Mallov was appointed Stock In spector for Lake county. The salary was raised from 9o00 to $900 per year, Stock Inspector to devote his entire time to the work, examining marks and brands, etc . A. Lester was granted a license to sell liquor at Silver Lake. Wm. Wytt was granted a license to sell liquor at Plush by means of affidavits, owiug to the deficient pub lication of his petition.
