HEWS FROM THE
LEGISLATURE.
A Half Billion Asked For
In Appropriations.
AIL PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN
Some I1IIU are Having: Rough
SleddingBill for Two State
Normal Schools.
A new water code till linn twuti
framed from the debris of the original
bill introduced lu the logiitlature,
which, It Ih miIiI, lias some chance of
passage. The hill, a prenontod Dm
aoc.oud time, clitniiiiiteH ttii clauao do
olariug "beneficial iiho shall ho tho
baals, tbo uiHiiMiire and tlio limit to
tho right to the umo of water. " Thin
waa a coin'onaion to tho riparian right
poeplo, wlio believed that thin section
was aimed at thorn .
Section 11 of tlm bill was Htrlckeu
out entirely. This aoctiou gave tho
State Engineer practically absolute
power iu making roleiiaud regulationa.
While the power to mka rules is re
tained, there ia iutertod a proviHiou
that an appeal may be taken to tin
court troni the Kiiglueei's rulings,
it will probably be inslstc-d on that
i no oiii lie made moro specific upon
thin point. The bill a orlglually in
troducd provided that the State Ku
gluoor must proceed to make hydro
graphic nurveys ou all stieams and up
on the complettou of any survey the
Ktato Engineer must (Ho auita to do-
toriniue all water right upou the
at reams.
While the bill lotain the authority
to make surveys, tho provision rojuii
lug tho Attorney (iom ral to bring
auita hua Imjoii cut out, mid he ia re
quired only to Intervene iu cases
whore the state has an interest and
whore a unit him boon commenced by
private part ion.
With thin change iu the aeopo of tho
w'ork, tho appropriation has been re
duced from .'m,MM a year to 117,5110 a
year.
Tho bill uh introduced provided Unit
tho coh1 of suit Hhould bo charged to
all tho water unerH, pro rata. Tho
Hiiiendod bill provides that no cubts
shall bo taxed agniut any portion
agaiiiHt whom tho nil it wiih not neces
sary. I he provision that money may lie
advuucod for surveys id retained, but
it ia providod that tho money shall bo
recovered only in tho discretion of the
court.
Tho bill Into boon thus amended by
ita frionda a a concession to Home o
it opponents. The light npou it has
uot ended, however. It merely has
Leon coiiHiderably looHouod.
The primary election law, that part
of it containing statement one aud
satemeut two, is apt to undergo
change at the bauds of the legislature.
The present form of the law, leglalat
ors are obligated to vote for that per
son for U.S. Heuator who haa received
the greatest number of the pooples'
votoa. The change asked for will allow
republicans iu the legislature to voto
fo the party's choice for U. 8. seua
tor, which is right, and just.
The Normal School quest ion is re
ceivlng a great dual of attention in the
legisaltue. O11 account of the gover
nor's veto of the eutlre appropriation
bill two years ago, the appropriations
will bo made eeparato this time lu or
der that if the goveruor decides to use
his veto power he may do bo ou any
oue of the billa or more if he chooses,
uud not effect tho othors. Tho Draiu
school is almost sure to get uo appro
priatlou, while bills have been favora
bly reported upon appropriating 9 120,
000 for the other three uormalH, as fol
lows: Monmouth, flo.000, Ashlund,
rtO.OOO aud WeHtoii IW.ri,000.
Mrs. Scott Dun I way is at Salem
working for the woamu Suffrage causo.
She bus prepared a resolution for an
nmeudment to the State constitution
to bring about a thing which the peo
ple of tho state voted down at the lust
election by a tremendous majority.
Mrs. Dunlway evidently feels justified
ia forcing upou the people a measure
they will not accept by their vote.
It la believed that tbo bill to adopt
voting maohlnea for Oregon will pass
the legislature.

Uly, OrcKou, Feb. 10, I'.Hr?.
Hlitor Kxaminer: In your issue of
Feb. 7th, your informant, Mr. Cory,
does the people of lily and the travel
ing public an injustice, when he states
that the grade across tho sl-MiKb east
of lily was washed away, and that the
team jumped iuto a washout and waa
nearly drowned. The fail. f 'he case
are that the water rau over the grade
in a few places, aud ou Monday night
the driver from Houanza, Mr. Nich
ols, not being familiar w ilh the road
aud aoeing water runuiug, over the
grade, uuhitched the team aud left the
stage standing iu tho road and came
back to lily and stayed till morning.
There was 110 harness cut and the road
has at 110 time this winter been im
passable. In justice to tho driver,
Mr. Nichols, I will state that he was
justitlablo in doing as he did, as tak
ing tho weather into consideration,
and the darkness of the night, with
water 011 eveiy hand, ho could not
know but what ho would at any mo
ment drive into a washout.
Yours Very Truly,
W. F. Iloed
The news item, legardiug the above
incident, published iu The Lxamiuer
last week, was related to us by Mr,
Uory, the contractor, aud in every
particular, except the cutting of the
harness, which was of small import,
Mr. Corey gives bis as informant the
driver of the stage that night, who
talked to him over tho 'pboue. So
long astho grade baa uot boon washed
out, we bopo no serious damage has
be mi done, and we are glad that the
road is yet in good condition. It is
true that the mail was delayed, and
it is equally apparent that the delay
was unavoidable, and we presume,
justifiable, under the circumstances,
High Water In Portland.
Portland did have high water, and
no especial credit is due any one who
may have prophesied such an occur
rence after witnessing the warm raius
aud rapidly meltiug snow in other
parts of the state. Portalud's high
water conies a few days later than
those of up river towus, when such
floods are the result of snow melting
in the Cascades. The waters of the
Willamette were out of the banks and
for a while it seemed that front street
would be under water, but the cold
spell came aud instead of warm rains
iu the Cascados aud the hoads of Col
umbia river tributaries, snow aud cold
prevailed. Nearly 18 lucbes of snow
fell at The Dalles, thus possibly pre
venting one of the greatest floodd the
valley towus on lower Columbia ever
witnessed..
The Thaw murder trial is iu pro
gress lu New York. The evidence re
veals the lifo of a wayward girl, and
the troubles of a lovesick, money-
burdened, idle and simple-minded
youth, also the base, brutish miud of
a popular New Yorker. Evelyn Nesbitt-
Thaw, the former aotiess, and wife of
Harry K Thaw, the murderer of Stan
ford White, has told the story of ber
fife.
RESERVE NOW UNDER
ADMINISTRATION.

rives Here to
Mr. M. I Erickson, Forest Reserve
inspector, arrived in lakeview lues -

the Uoose Lake forest reserve. The
reserve ia now under administration,
aud the general rules of the service
will be applied. Parties desiring to

Inventor Not. Crazy.
Under the beading of "Inventors are
Not Crazy." S. V. I C hart apiears in
the Chicago Tribune of recent date,
in an article answering a correspond
ent of that paper a bo makes the accu
sation. Mr. ICehart's article follows:
"Kditor of The Worker's Magazine:
You gave place in last Sunday's Tri
bune" to a communication signed.
K. A. Adams, iu. which be makes the
remarkable statement that inventors
are crazy, giving advice regarding
now ideas, etc. Mr Adams arguments
are illogical and baneful to young iu
Vdutors who have no tlxed idea as to
what calling to follow during their life
and easily are discouraged by persons
claiming to le inventors. No doubt
some inventors are crazy aud tome in
dividuals in every other calling in
life are crazy, but to characterize ev
ery oue iu any callng as being crazy
is illogical. Of course all inventors
are not financiers. Neither are all
musicians, doctors, lawyers, or state
smen financiers from the fact that few
persons are blessed with more than
one strong talent.
Hut to advise any oue who has in
ventive talent to "saw wood" is wrong ,
Tbo reason that so many inventors fail
to realize upon their devices is from
tho well known fact that a great ma- :
jority of them are short of funds; 1
hence fail to jerfect their devices be- '
fore offering to sell the same or hav
ing the came maufactured upou a roy
alty. Another class of inventors fail be
cause of dishonesty. Seeing the defects
of their device, but selling out to the
first person who will invest iu their
invention. Mauufacturers as a rule
are uot inventors, but are developers
in the cheapening process of manufac
tures; hence cannot cure a defect of
an iuveutiou because of beiug out of
their line of business. For the above
reasons mauufacturers have become
chary of taking up any new inventions
before they know first whether all the
defects have beeu cured, whether it
an be marketed at a profit, and w he
ther there will be a demand for the
device to justify taking hold of the
same with requisite capital to make
success."

Erickson has established offices over

Klaiaatb is Advertising.
Klamath county is up and agoing.
The people are to get out 14,000 8
page folders, describing the county.
Although the folder is not large, it
will contain a large amount of con
densed information concerning the
county, including a brief description
of the projects, the soil, climate, and
different industries are particularly
adapted to the country.
This folder is to answer for tempo
rary use only and will be followed up
by a booklet on a much more compre
hensive scale, describing in detail all
parts of the county, just what Lake
county should do. There are thous
ands of people writinif for information
atnut Lake county, and not a word of
printed matter to send them. It all
depends upon the newspapers to sup
ply these wants, and the task is not a
light one. The county is to be bene
flitted by immigration and ought to
be willing to help bear the expense of
this advertising.
Create t. Climate on Earth.
Last Sunday was a perfect spring day
the sun shone brightly and the atmos
pbero was warm, tbe thermometer
reaching 70; the Lakeview band play
ed in tbe Court House park, aud little
girls jumped tbe rope and romped
on the green lawn around tbe band
stand, while nearly tbe entire town's
population either sauntered up and
down the dry gravel walk in front of
the Court House or leaned on tbe
fence listening to tbe music and watch
ing the rising generation enjoying
themselves ou the green. All in all,
the day was a fit one to cause resi
dents of this valley to congratulate
themselves ou being so fortunate in
living here, while the whole country
around was wraped in snow aud tbe
thermometer way down in tbe vicinity
of zero. Truly, there is no place like
Lake county.
President Roosevelt and the repre
seutatives of San Francisco, who went
to Washington to discuss tbe Japanese
question, have reached an amicable
understanding, whereby the Japanese
questiou can be settled without trou
ble. The details aie to be arranged
later. It is likely tbat the school
question wil be settled by admitting
japanese children to the public schools,
by promising an exclusion treaty,
which will accomplish just what Cal
ifornians want, and have been work
ing for.

William CarD Dead.
William Carll died In Portland
Tbnrsday night of apooplexy. He
was foreman of tbo Meier k Frank
stables, and. went to water the horses.
Mrs. Carll beard bim turn the water
on, but noticed that it ran longer
than osual. He waa found lying on
tbe ground near the trough and was
carried into the bouse and up stairs.
He died about 1 o'clock tbat night.
'-Billy" Carll waa well known in
Lakeview, having lived bere several
years, where be conducted tbe stage
line for a time, was proprietor of tbe
livery stables here and was Sheriff
of Lake county one term. He leaves
a wife and two eons, Dr. Frank Carll
of Helena, Montana and Joe Carll, a
cartoonist, wbo is working on an
Eastern paper at tbe present time.
Mr. Carll went to Portland from here
about 10 years ago. His death is a
shock to bis many Lakeview friends.
Cascade Reserve Enlarged.
On January 25tb, 1907, the presi
dent of tbe United States issued a
proclamation extending tbe boundary
lines of tbe Cascade Forest Reserve,
which rest-rve was created by pro
clamation of September 28tb. 1893,
bo as to Include additional lands and
exclude certain other lands, within
this state. This office Is in receipt
of a plat of the new reserve, which
extends uortb and south from the
Columbia river south to tbe north
line of township 38, south. The re
serve does not effect lands in Lake
county, as tbe eastern boundary in
no place extends this side of range
11.
Several townships in the northern
part of Klamath couuty are added to
the reserve.
A Permanent Institution.
Tbe Lakeview Public Library and
Free Reading Room has become a per
manent institution. Two years ago
tbe Free Library waa simply a talked
of possibility, but a few energetic la
dies took tbe matter in charge and
soon accomplished an organization
and by bard work and grit, kept
alive for a year, when its benefits to
tbe town became apparent on all sides
and its future more hopeful.
The grand success of the Bazaar
gave the institution a little money and
its officers sought to invest tbe money
in a permanent home. The Umbacb
property adjoining the City Hali was
decided upon and a deal was made
Tuesday whereby the Library became
the owner of a fine piece of property
in a central location. A small build
ing is on tbo lot, large enough for the
immediate needs of tbe library, and
tbe property is sure to enhance in
value. It is not, however, the inten
tion to move from the present loca
tion where an exoellent building is fur
nished free from rental.
everyone regards tne plan a wise
one and the Investment sere. Tbe

Paying Weyerhaeuser Taxes.
Mr. W. L. Mc Cormack, connected
with tbe traffic department of tbe
Klamath Lake II. R. Co., running from
Thrall to Pokegama, spent a good
part of last week in Lakeview, on bus
iness. Mr. McCormack says the traff
lo department of bis company is in
excellent shape and that they are
prepared to furnish service such as
never before beeu furnished to the
interior contingent to that road,
Things are so shaped now tbat freight
can be bandied at the least possible
coast to the merchants of Klamath
Falls Transportation companies will
attend to the handling of freight
from the time it leaves tbe depot un
til it reaches the warehouses of tbe
merchant. o tbat tbe service will be
equal to a through railroad to Kla
math Falls, only in tbe matter of
speed. Mr. McCormlck bad an eye ou
Lakeview fright, but the distance be
ing so great it is hardly likely a sud
den change from Madeline as a ship
ping point for Lakeview merchants to
Pokegama will be made, however,
there is no doubt tbe promise of good
service had its weight with some who
have experienced difficulty in getting
freight through from San Francisco,
in reasouable time duilug the past
few mouths.
Evelyn Nesbitt-Thaw, tbe actress
wife of the murderer of Stanford
White, has the distinction of having
more different pictures published of

S SUC-
CESS COMPLETE,
Grand Success for Free
Reading Room.
PROCEEDS WERE OYER $300.00
People Spent their Money Freely
Every Booth Sold out In a
Very Short Time.
Tbe bazaar given last Friday evening;
for tbe benefit of tbe Public Library
and Free reading Room, waa one of
tbe grandest financial successea ever
coming from a like event in the town.
Everything worked out just as intend
ed, without a hitch, and the proceeds
amounted to $300. 00, beyond all expec
tations. The expenses of tbe affair
amounted to 12L50, which sum V. L.
Snelling raised the next day by means
of a subecrription paper, so tbat the
net receipts would be an even $300,
and succeeded in raising $3 over the
amount. Everyone in town is proud
of the success of the affair, aa well aa
tbe promoters, as it demonstrated tbe
oft-made statement, "Lakeview for
Charity", it was seen to by the crowd
that not a single article waa left un
sold, and many articles were bought
and given back to be sold again. Ac
tually there waa not standing room in
tbe ball for about two hours. There
was hardly room fqr purchasers to get
their parse out of their pockets, and
many of them kept their parse in their
bands ti'l a round of the booths was
made. Every feature of the affair
came up to every expectation in every
particular. The booths were beauti
fully decorated and tbe scene upon
entei ing the ball was one long to be
remembered by tbe people of Lake
view. Many remarked tbat it was very
much like a "city affair". The Com

their particular booths as well as for
