A very little cause may sometimes be the means of creating a great eircct. This was proven in the last election, when Woman's Suirrage was defeated by such an overwhelming majority, that every one even those most rigor ously opposed were surprised. During tho recent campaign a woman prom inent in the sulfrage cause lode on a staKo in south eastern Oregon. Dur ing tho early part of tho ride she entertained the driver by telling him tho mission of her errand and being of prepossessing appearance and 11 lluent speaker she readily gained the conlldeuco of tho driver and his assur ance that ho would not only vote for the cause but do all he could to w in others. Having reached a way sta tion, w here the stage changes horses, while that preparation was going on, the lady sulfraglst began to realize that tho severity of dust and wind was ruinous to tho complexion, aud not tactfully considering how easily a good cauno can be lost took advant age of this stop aud covered her face with a complexion mask. When the driver had again mounted his seat, tho horses being fresh, stared briskly and it required his undivided' atteu tiou to manage them during which time ho hadn't noticed his fellow pas senger when tho llry steeds had slack ened pace, he looked around and lo I that mask met his view. He nearly collapsed and in 'dating this to a pas senger said "I just shook all over evory time she turned toward mo and I made up my mind then aud there, I wouldn't vote for Woman's Suffrage or any one who would wear such a damned thing as that aud neither did I, and 1 did all 1 possibly could to defeat it, I was afraid if tho vote was carried that every woman in Oregon would wear such a mask when travel ing and 1 simply could not have stood it and would have had to give up my job.

ANTICORPORA- The Peek-a-boo Waist Tho immodesty, not to say immor ality, of tho celebrated peek a-boo waist has been brought forward so promiuently by the proposed action of tho W. C. T. U. against it that the public welfare seems to require a ser ious and impartial discussion of the matter. lu the first place, what is the soul-destroying confection of attire? It is a diaphanous confection of a few narrow strips of white cloth and a few frightfully open-wrought bits of lace. Its sins of omission and commission are potent to every observer. How much of her divinely chiselod nUPe a wonmn niuy display to the public without immodesty has never i,een authoritatively decided. It 8l,01ll!j t0 depoud upon tho timo and j In a imiivooul faiou has do- , t,rtoJ tut tho mBy oouskt of a I loal fiction, us it wore; merely a hint to suggest its locality and outlines At the bench convention is still less ex- HCting. Of course nowhere may a I lady appear absolutely devoid of all protection to her modesty froij the prying eye of tho vulgar crowd, but at tho beach sho muy approximate without reproach very closely to the iuuoeeuco of Eden. Tho peek-u-boo waist Is loss fiank in its exhibition of tho figure than either the bathing sunt or the full dren of tho ballroom. Why, then, should It l0 put under tho ban ex clusively, while the other two are per mitted to reap their harvest of mined noil la unhindered? We understand tlmt the action of the W. C. T. U. will Ins taken not so much to preserve tho modesty of the woman as to save the men of tho city from bankruptcy. It has In-on found that the sictacle of a woman upon the pavement clad in one of these elnsive garments pat a stop to all business in that vicinity. The course of trade is intotrnpted. ISargain aud sale chho and all men's eyes are fixed upon the sweet vision until it fades from sight. Since mul titudes of women now wear the en chanting waist, it can be imagined how destructive to the commerce of the city it has Income. It is said that tho bank clearings have fallen off some 50 per cent since the hot weather male the peek a-boo frequent and conspicuous on the street. Some thing bad to be done to stay its de vastating course, and the W. C. T. U. ban gallantly plunged into the breach. Tho ukase against the peek-a-boo waist i:i designed, therefore, not so much for the benefit of the souls of the wearers as for the pocketbooks of their male admirers. It will not do to have a whole city pausing some thousand times a dy to watch women make ncart disturoing transits across the Held of vision. The society of brave and self-denying matrons will do well to put a top to this by their mandate. liut how shall the law-de fyiug creature who iicrsists henceforth in wearing the anathematized peek-a- Into be punished? Shall she le impris oned or let off with a mere fine? We rather incline to the side of mercy, I nit in this an in all oilier matters we shall submit our own judgment to the superior wisdom of the W. C. T. U. If they say imprisonment, then im prisonment it shall be. Oregouian. How to Reach Lakeview. Several letters have been received by us lately asking tho best way to reach Lakeview-; and the best time to come. These letters are too numerous to answer, so we w ill endeavor to an swer through the columns of The Ex aminer. For people living in the East there are three routes, any one of w hich would laud the party in Lake county. Over the Southern Pacific railroad to Rono, thence over the N-C-O. rail road to Madeline, which would land them within 'M miles of Lakeview, and an eaiy stage ride on four-horse, I eay coaches to Lakeview in one day aud night. Coming over tho North ern Pacific to Portland, thence to Thrall and. over the Klamath Lake railroad to Pokegama, which would land them 135 miles from Lakeview. The rido to Lakeview from Pokegama would be by stage in two days aud one night with iue night layover. Coming from Ogdeu over the O. R. .t N. to The DhIIcs, then to Shan iko over the Columbia Southern, a stage ride of 2(50 miles brings one to Lakeview. As to the season of year, we would most assuredly advise one to come in August or September, as the weather is fine, not too warm or too cold, and the country is then showing the vis itor what it can produce. Ow ing to the recent rich gold discoveries, we would suggest that parties come as soou as possible, in order to be ahead of the great rush that will bo made for Lake county in next month. Th Latest From the Mines. The latest news from the mines does uot indicate any immediate abatement of the excitement.' Prospectors are scouriug the hills aud valleys for miles around the original strike aud reports come that several finds have been made, one of considerable importance about three miles south of the Loff tus discovery of a week ago, which shows up well, prospectors aro now on tho hills south of tho 7T ranch and think they have found croppings of the same ledge discovered ou the opposite side of the valley. A telephone message from Adel states that three wagon loads of peo ple from Hidwell have passed that place and two more wagon loads are due there tonight. A telephone message from Crane Lake, about 12 miles from hero, states that tho excitement has revived pros pecting in the sagehen district aud several new claims have been staked otf. Hold seekers have lieeu ou the hills about Lakeview and some good rock has beeu found which, when assayed went $2.25 in gold. The exact location of this find has not been made public but it is in sight of Lakeview aud uot more than a mile from town. HARVEST HANDS VERY SCARCE. Women and Children are in the Hay Fields. CHILDREN DO WORK OF MEN. Brave Little Girl Does the Cow Boy Act With Long Derrick Rope on Horseback. It is a common sight along the val leys south of here to see little girls and boys driving pull-up teams for putting hay in the barns. It is impos sible to secure men for this work and rancuera have rigged carta for their children to ride on and given them a gentle team to drive and they do the work that men have done before dar ing the baying season, and are happy. One ranch we passed a brave little girl was handling the derrick on horse back as a vaquero strings out a calf to be branded. She sat there on the old cow horse with the long iope in her hand and when the load of hay was damped she would tarn the horse around, "throw on her turns" slide over in one stirrup just like a bucca roo dragging a calf to the branding fire. This scene was on the old Brown ranch 9 miles south of town, owned by the McCulley boys. A Bis 5taL (Baker City Herald.) -It is said of the United States Gov ernment that it is most particular. This may be true in email things and where certain individuals are concern ed, but when it comes to a big steal the Unitad States Government is a howling infant. One of the most glar ing examples of this kind is the -pseud o military road constructed from The Dalles to Boise City. The company constructing this blazed trail received from the Government the most valuable timber and grazing lands in that section of the State of Oregon. And they cave absolutely nothing in return. Not even a road. There is no Dalles military road. It was never built and never will be, but the company has the deed to the lands. The road is one of the humorous things of these Government contracts. It runs from the summits of the John Day Pass directly across the mountains along a route that a pack horse cannot travel. There is no semblance of a road. The trees "are not even cut, being merely blazed. The road used by the company "build ing" this military road is a county road and is today the only road through that section of the country. The Dalles military road is marked by blazed trees, and that is all. But the company got every odd sec tion for a distance ol three miles on either side of this road, aud where there was laud already settled upon the company got lieu-land scrip and took up all the good laud in the Lo gan Valley, Summit Valley, Crane Valley and innumerable other rich sections. Aud now this company owns this land absolutely and even charges sheep and cattle men for crossing it to get to the pasture lauds in the for est reserves. There are two absolute idiots in the United States Government Adminis tration. One is the man who accepted this Dalles military road, and the other is the man who is responsible for this forest reserve policy. Tho first belongs in tho penitentiary and the other should bo in an Insane asylum. Isaac Robnett, tho Willow Ranch farmer and stock raiser, and one of tire pioueors of Gooso Lake valley, contemplates leasing his farm aud moving to San Fraucisco to reside. Mr. Robnett some time ago purchased a lot iu the city aud will build a resi dence there. He thinks of going into some kind of business, but doesn't know just yet what his venture will be. Ho has one of tho host ranches in northern California, aud has it fixed up in shape for comfortable liviug. Duly Robnett, his sou, is studying law iu San Francisco, aud the rest of the family want to go to the city t live.'
