or with a brighter outlook.
Interstate Mine.
The people of Modoc, county and
Lake County Oregon, two sister conn
tie and both tho home of Uoog Min
ing District should bo rejoiced over
the great development of the mine in
Uioho two counties especially Modoc
county, although they are finding
aoino very flattering prospect over iu
Lake county on tho Oregon side. One

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withdrawn for irrigation purpose, uud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

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

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

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 Ruth Steele was hostess at a
"soap bubble" party given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs W. R. Steele,

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

the outfit and remarked: "If Mrs.
