Huffman tho man charged with tho larceny of a suit of clothe and bound over to the circuit court lu July, and who has been lying in the couuty jail eluce, eacapod Tuesday morning. He had been closely watched all along during hi Incarceration and showed no Inclination to get away, and waa given some liberty about the court house yard, on account of the small jail. lie had been sick for a couple of week and the sheriff felt uneasy about hi health aud allowed him ail the fresh air possible, watching him as closely as ho thought ueocBsary. The fellow, however, took advantage of the sheriff's sympathy for him aud ran away. Ho was tracked up Dead man canyon, where he went into the rocks and ull track were lost. V. II. Shirk brought a sample of hi fruit, grown on hi city properlty, to The Examiner otllco a few day ago to show us what can be raised iu Lakevlew lu tho way of tipples aud poars.

Mr. Shirk might try it again, however, and wo'U promise to keep tho fruit oi exhibit next tlm till It gone. Gold Discovered in The North End. A. H. Schroder enmo down from Sil ver lake list week. Mr. Schroder x hiblted a piece of ore that ho found somewhere In the north end of this county, ho wont tell where, lie hud the rock assayed, and it went tW in gold and fl.HO in silver, to which wa added ten percent, making a total of fl.itt to the ton Mr Schroder pick ed up the rock on top of the -ground and the belief I that It wa a piece of float and possibly from a very rich ledge Part ie are prospecting for tho ledue. and considerable of a rush I expected a soon a (iu make known tin) whcrcuhotitH of hi Hud Recent gold discoverie have set the mind of resident of tho whole county on min eral and the probability of a rich mln eral deposit extending iu tl e northern iinrt of the rountv a In any other part will no doubt cause a great deal of prospectng, with the possible result of rich mine lielng found in the Sil ver Lake country. It i to be hoped ho at leant. They are Pinpointed. A L'roat deal ha been said in the Klamath Tails Herald about the alleg ed disappointment of parties who sought timber hind and failed to place their flllngH. We hate failed to see lu any paper or hear anyone wiy that there wa to be a lurge body of timber thrown open, except iu the Klamath fall Heralds' statement that such report had been sent out. In both the notice published iu The Ex amiucr, it wsb plainly stated that the land to le restored was that formerly withdrawn for irrigation purpose, uud uo allusion wa ninde to any portion of tho tract containing timber. Tho notices were given wide publicity through Tho Kxamltier und hundreds of clipping wero sent out by the laud oftlclal, and if auy statement was sent out that ttie tract to bo released wa timber laud, it wit sent out by some one unmvl.oilssed Uv'"" i". , tho statcmeut was unfounded. The Gov ernment made uo mistake neither did tho land 'official at the Lukvlew Lund ofllee, nor did Tho Kxaminer, iu which tho notice wero published. No sensi ble person could have read tho notice and drew from them the inference that timber land to be thrown open. Wo remember a number of inquiries that wero made at this office, both in person and by letter, ubout tho char acter of tho laud to be thrown open, and each inquirer was told that very littlo, if any timlrcr would be thrown open, possibly a few sections of scat tering timber, but no compact body, as the original withdrawal waa made for irrigation purposes aud In an ag ricultural section. If anyone was mis led, it was through unauthorized sour ces. To protect the people from bun co steareri 1 the departments' reasons for publishing these notices. Tho Klamath Fall paper would havo it understood that many hundreds of peoplo were disappointed, when, iu fact, there were but very few w ho fail ed to place tilings, and they, in every case, wero parties who lost in their race to the lund ofllee. To Get Dairy Number. L. A. Currikor and wife were in towu last Saturday. They have been overcome with the fad of using print ed butter wrapper for their butter aud will appy to the State Dairy and Food commissioner J. W. Bailey of Portand, for a number for their cream ery and a State brand, to protect their butter. Any one who makes good butter is glad to have their name on the wiapprea so that everybody will know tholr butter when they Bee it In fact, it is a state law and if any one oared to have the law enforced, everyone selling butter would be com pelled to use printod wrapper with the name aud number of the creamery and the number of ounces the package con tains printod on each wrapper. Loveless Ranch Sold. C. S. Loveless, who haa owuod and conducted tho Warner canyon ranch for several years, haa sold the proper ty to Nate and D. J. Wilcox. . The place comprises 520 acres of land and with It were sold about 50 head of cat tle, some horse aud the wagons and farm implements. The tiade was made lust Friday. Price, us near as we could find out, waslietweeu 17,000 and 8,000 Mr. Loveless aud family will go to Napa, California, wero they. will spend the winter. They expect to start iu three or four weeks. RICHEST STRIKE YET New Strike in the Williams -Turner Claim the Climax of the Gold Excitement. J. M. Layman and C. E. McCleary, the mining men, came up from the mine lust Sunday evening and remain ed here over Monday. They stated that a recent very rich strike had been made iu the Williams-Turner claim on Yellow Mountain, above Now Pine Creek. They hud some specimen of the oro to back their statement a to tho value of the new discovery. Thl U tho richest rock yet found in tho district, some of the choicest rock, when assayed, went eight thousand ounce of gold to tho ton, or over 1 70.000 to tho tou In gold. This may seem like a fabulous story, but we not i only havo the word of thes gentlemen, ' which i reliable, but. a reliable assay- I , Jr . t - V ' ; : 1 RICHARD B. HALDANE, WHO WOULD DECREASE THE BRITISH ARMY. While interparliamentary and arbitration conferences are discussing and praying for the disarmament of the nations Itichard Burdou Ualdane, British secretary for war, is actively hastening that end. He purposes to reduce the British army at once by 20,000 meu. Better be Good. Somebody said it 1 hotter to be beautiful than to bo good. But it is certainly bettor to be good than to be ugly. It 1 better to bo charming. A woman cannot charm because she want to. A man is not agreeable be cause he Bets out to be. Quite the re verse. In effort is failure. The prop er effect must, like repartee, be spon taneous and unpremeditated. It must be radiated naturally, like light and love. Books there are that pretend to tell how It is done. They do bo quite as competently as grsshoppers teach entomology. The ability to charm, to be agreeable, to entertain perfect ly, and to be perfectly entertaining, is an art apprehensible only through influences generally prenatal but al ways prolonged. The mere technique is so volatile that it must be Inhaled. Like the Mayfair intonatlou, little by little, It must be absorbed. Kings and thugs may abash the ama teur in the art of pleasing but tho ar tist la at home with them. He ruts himself iu harmony with them. In the ability to do that la the whole ee oret of the art of pleasing. Edgar Sal tus in the October Delinoator. V. J. Moore, Secretary of the I. O. O. V. Lodge at this place, received a letter from the secretary of the Lodge at Quluoey, Oallf., stating that Andy Swingle bad met with a serious acci dent on the 17th la a runaway at that place. The letter was written on the 18th aud Mr. Swlugle had not regained consciousness. DISCOVERED cr told ns that be was not surprised, as the rock wa very rich. As to the quantity of tbi grade of ore, we have not lM;n informed, nor do we under stand that the prospect I sufficient ly developed to determine this, but this quality of ore is said to be found in very extensive bodies aud usually carries great quantities of gold. The ore i yellow, rusty looking, with a considerable sprinkling of free, visa bio gold In it, and is of the decompos ed ore and oxide of iron. It is about the color of a brick, and the yellow, dull "jrlored substance is usually very rich in gold, and suddenly changes to a metulie luster when the annealing process is applied. Parents Should Help. There Is such a close relation between the school work of a town and its gen eral well beiug, that it is best by far if a through understanding exists be tween teacher and patrons. To date over 230 pupils have enroll ed, and practically every seat in the building is taken, requiring steps to relieve the present pressure. The pri mary room has ao many pupils, more than before, that no January class of beginners can be taken. It would ex haust room and make more work than can be done reasonably by the teacher. Steps should be taken to enter all be ginners within two weeks. I wish to state also that grading ex aminations will be given to all pupils absent from final examinations last spring. Nothing is more fatal to thor ough work than lax grading, and all pu pils should be present at all tests. Par ents can do much to aid us in this res pect We are ambitious for the best results for your children. Very truly, Scott Leavitt, Priucipid. J. C. Oliver of the West bide, says he has started up the sage brush mow er at his place. The machine outs, or rather .breaks down aud drags out a swath 12 feet wide, aud two men and eight horses are required to operate It Mr. Oliver says by going over the ground tw ice, most all the brush can be torn out aud bunched, and about ten acres cau thus be cleared off In one day. Grand Officer Visit Lakevlew. The reception and banquet given last Tbuniady and Friday evenings by the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Lake view In honor -of the Grand Master and Grand Secretary was' a decided success in every way. Many members of the local lodge availed themselves of the opportunity of meeting and getting acquainted with the Grand of ficers and nothing was left undone to make their visit a pleasant one. On Thursday evening Grand Mast er W. A- Carter of Gold Hill and Grand Secretary E. II Sharon of Port land, visited the Subordinate Lodge and many things nnder the head of "Good of the Order" were discussed, good-natured joke were cracked at each other by the Grand officers, and the meeting was one long to be re membered. On Friday evening the Grand offi cers visited the Pebekah Lodge, which was largely attended by local members abto. After Lodge clowd a short en tertainment was held in the lodge room made interesting by speeches repartee vocal and instrumental music, the crowd repaired to the Odd Fellows' banquet ball on the ground floor of the Odd Fellowes' building, where a eumptous Liquet was spread await ing the appetites of the members of both lodges, their wives and husbands. All that heart (or stomach) could wish for was served lavishly. When all bad incapacitated himself for further ser vice at the board, the lodge room Was Bought, again. The canvass was spread upou the carpet and those who enjoy the merry whirl indulged in dancing to the fine music rendered by Miss Miller, organist, Miss Snelling, Mr. C. W. Withers and Isaac Eccleston, violinists. The wee small hours crept on before anyone hardly realized the time of night, ana in two's end fours the crowd departed for their homes, biddiDg the goodby to the Grand vis itors, and expressing a desire to have the gentlemen visit Lakeview again, all feeling better for having participat ed in the evening's social gathering, Messrs Sharon and Carter departed from Lakeview Saturday morning for their homes, winding up a two weeks tour. ' They would like to have spent more time in Lakeview, but pressing business matters at home told Mr. Carter that it was time for him to re turn and Mr. Sharon realized that much lodge work is accumulating on his desk in his Portland office. Business College Opens. The Lakeview Business College opened Monday and the number of pupils registered exceeded even Prof essor Trodden's fondest hope. In all about forty have registered their intention of attending but most of these will not be able to begin for a month or so yet, being detained at work on the ranch. However by the first of November Professor Trodden beleives that the atteudance will have broken ail record for this part of the country. An eveuiug school has also been es tablished for the benefit of those who are employed during the day sessions. The hours are from seven to nine. The Lakeview Business College is an Institution which will be a benefit not only to those who attend it but to the entire County of Lake, and both Pro fessors Bigley and Trodden are to be commended for their move in estab lishing such an institution. The studies are optional with the stu- dant and in this way the Merchant who may wish to obtain any partiou lar knowledge of bookkeeping may do so as conveniently as the young man or woman desirous of embracing all the branches. Little Folks Party. Little Ruth Steele was hostess at a "soap bubble" party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs W. R. Steele, last Saturday afternoon to the little friends of Ruth. .

We are in receipt of a letter from Max Whilttelsey, former clerk in the Lakeview land office. Mr. Whittelsey ia now located at Eufaula, Wash. He . i 1.1.1- says, uave cnangea over io mi fiim now. It is one of the biggest camps on the Columbia. They run 17 to 18 donkey engines and 7 locomo tives over 18 miles of track, employ ing about 250 men. Last year they put in 40 million feet of logs, it is hard to get men enough this summer. Wages are way up ; 82.50 to H. 50 per day. Some of the trees here are 12 feet on the BtumpB. It is quite a 6ight to Bee a load of big ones on the way to the boom. This timber is a deal thicker than pine ; runs from 10 to 16 million feet to the quarter eeo tion. Please send the Examiner to Eufaula, Wash." The Sick Kitty. The eick kitty passenger on the Sun day excursion trains from Newport is not bo much in vogue as formerly. How youngsters of 16 and 20 eat on each others laps and chewed each oth ers gums with a dying calf look on their faces was sketched in the Times recently. Of late true' love has not seemed to have bo mellifluous effect on the youngsters as formerly. They have mostly been content to Bit op straight with nothing more serious than a surreptitious holding of hands and an occasional sly glance into each others eyes. Last Sunday nisht, how ever, a batch of seven of them in ona car got the mania and fell to with an abandon that would have mortified to death auy thing ehe than a bunch of the exceedingly sick calf variety. Seven of them .about three youths and four youbtesses, sardined into one double Beat They all had that kind of love that absolutely refuses to have a lid on it Frank Durbin, the old Sheriff of Marian ,and ex-Gover-ner Geer and wife sat across the aisle and looked on at proceedings in dumb astonishment At last Mr. Durbin got his breath and remarked that "Superintendent Gardner ought to come along and gather in that bunch for the Boys' and girls' Home; what do you think of them, Geer, ebT The ex-Uoverner took one swift glance at the outfit and remarked: "If Mrs. Geer were not along I would take a hand iu it myself" 4 I
