J J SELDOM baa a criminal trial attracted socb Intermit aa baa been aroused all over tbe country In the caae of Moyer, Haywood and rattlbone. Charles II. Moyer la tbe president of the Western Federation of Miners, William D. Haywood la the secretary treasurer CLAKEKCB a. PAanow.. of the organization, and George A. Pet tlbone waa formerly a member of tbe executive committee. It la chargnd that tbe three men conspired to bring atHMit tbe death of ex-Joveruor Frank Steutienberg of Idaho and employed Harry Orchard to do tbe work. An alleged confession waa obtained from Orchard that be bad committed tbe crime under tbe direction of tbewe ofl clals of the tulnrre' federation, and be la also aald to have confeaaed to twenty-six other murders, many of which, bo aald, were Umpired by them. Governor Kteuuenberg waa killed on Dec. .10, lWj. by tbo explosion of a dy namite tomb which bad been planted beneath the gate at tbe entrance to tbe ground of bis home. A large number of deatba have occurred In consequence of the warfare between labor and capi tal In the mining regions of Idaho and Colorado. One estimate placea the number at 100. Haywood, Moyer and Petti bono have becu Indicted on the charge of being accessory to the mur der of Steunenberg, and Haywood la the first of tbe three to be tried. Haywood is aald to be the brains and muster spirit of tbe federation. He Is thirty -eight years old. Is xelf educated, and wheroTer L wetw 2?3e.ls arrest he waa auld to have carried with him the Wide, Shakespeare und a diction ary. A Socialist II rut of nil, his dream hud becu to brine the mines under state control, S' that the workers mlut get u greater return for their toll. He once told how be becnine a Socialist. "I was working In the Trade Dollar mine In Idaho," lie suld. "My slope was 2'Jt) feet above thu mnlu level and was reached by climbing a ladder straight up the thnft. One day two of tint owner of the mlue came lu, anr one vald to the other: " 'Jim, suppose you go up to where Haywood Is working.' " 'I wouldn't climb that ladder for $10.xx,' was the reply. "Yet I was climbing It every day for fl a day. I couldn't see why there should be a difference of $10,000 nud $3 between hliu and me. So I was set thinking, and lu time I becnine a So cialist." Haywood Is suld to possess great courage. When Moyer waa brought to Denver charged with complicity In the murder of lturuey McGee, who was killed In the Victor riot of 1904. Hay wood was at the depot to meet him. The platform was flunked by militia men, and wheu Haywood stepped for wurd to greet Moyer the captalu of the guurd ordered blin buck, using both force uud epithets to emphasize tbe order. Haywood replied by knocking the officer dowu. The militiamen sprung at him, aud he fought them un til they beat him Into insensibility. Haywood has several noted attor neys working In bis defense, aud the chief of couusel la Clureuce S. D arrow of Chicago. Darrow Is au author as well as a lawyer and some years ago wrote a book entitled "Resist Not Evil," la which he espoused thu doc trine of noureslstauce advocated by Couut I-eo Tolstoi. A few days ago It was uuuounced that Tolstoi bud prac tically abandoned this theory by corn lug out lu favor of the use of force by the Russian revolutionists and In tak ing the position' that in no other way can they obtain their rights. Mr. Dar low, who was counsel for Eugene V.

FOURTH OF JULY IN LAKEVIEW. Arrangments Made For Greatest Time Ever Had In Lakeview. With a weeks' horse racing, a base ball tournament, and a day of other sports and amusements tbe Fourth of July ought to be pretty well celebrated In Lakevie tbla year. Lakeview knowa bow to give a good time, and can, when it takes a notion to and the rlpht people get tbeir sbouldef to tbe wbeeL Starting in so lata this year every force baa been brought In to play to bring tbe affair up to tbe standard and special effort is being made to outdo any past event of sim ilar character. There will be nothing for tbe peo ple to do but jiift enjoy themselves ; tbe work of making every feature en joyable baa been placed in willing and competent bands, and tbeir part is as sure to )) carried out according to ax(ectations as the Fourth Is to come and go. Every member of any of tbe many Fraternal orders in Lakeview is especially invited to be present and take part in tbe dress parade. Think of all tbe secret orders in this city When The Fire Is Out. People from the outskirts of the town came running and puffing like steam engines to the scene of tbo fire the other night, half an bour after tbe blaze bad been put out, and some that were near had gono back to "bod again. They had ruu all the way for nothing, wheu they could have been notified, probably before leaving home, ; that they were not needod, by a couple of tape of tbe fire belL Why not adopt some system, and aave those who live ac a distance a long, hard run. Those on tbe ground do not notice it, but it should be remembered that possibiy 20 or 30 people are almost breaking their uecks to get to the Are to render whatever assistance tbey can to save property, not knowing till they reach the pluee that the Ore is all out. Such ellorts should be appreciated, at least enough to notify the parties at the earliest possible niomeut that their hssistauce is uot needed. If they are allowed to make this run a few times, they might full to come some time wheu they (were really needed. The Examiner has suggested this before, aud now we urge that a signal be adopted that will uotify those living at a distuuee wheu a tire is out, eo they may returu to their homes. Old Way (lood Enough. An exchange is responsible for the following: Electricity has superseded steam. Old fashioned sailing vessels are an autiquated dream. We've horseless carriugos slueo,uinty- six. Aud ladies wearing silk hosiery, who never took a stitch. We have our wireless telegraph, and sail through air aud sea. We have machine pianos and never touch a key. Tbe bellyache we used to have is ap pendicitis now. And we're eating creamery butter that never aeon a cow. Progress is our motto; modern times have come to stay, Btft thank Ood, we still 'raise babies in tbe same old-fashioned way. Returned From Sweden. Pete Euqulst returned to Lakeview last Friday, and seven youug men froui Sweden came with him. The boys came here to seek their fortunes and hope to gain a competency here aa other euergetio countrymen of theirs have doue. Those who oame were, two of Pete's brothers, August and Emil Euqulst, two nephews of J. E. Norin, J. O. WesUin aud P. E. Wall dlu, one brother of August Zattlin, Lars Zattlin, aud W. Olson aud Cal Littuer. If Lake couuty could be as surd of Ailing up with such men as we believe those Swedes to be, judging of them by the character of citizens their relatives, the Euquists, Norin aud Zattlin, who buve proveu them selves to be desirable citizens, Luke couuty has teasous to be proud and cause for giving the youug men a hearty welcome. O. F. North, a timber man from Kalmath Fulls was in Lakeview first of the week on land business. strong out in one long line marching through town. Tbere are Members of these orders scattered from one end of tbe county to tbe other, and even some live in California. Tbe affair will simply be a contest between tbe different orders to abow the longest line of members, tbe best drilled and best appearance. It will be some thing of an advertisement for tbe one that makes tbe best showing and at tracts tbe moat attention. The mov ing spirits in each of tbe orders are exerting every effort to get a foil at tendance on that day and make tbeir part of tbe parade tbe cilmax. This is something that has never occurred before in Lakeview and will be worth coming a long ways to see, not to consider tbe various other features, a list of wbicb can be seen in another column. ' Read of this great event, make up your mind to celebrate and come to Lakeview to accomplish your fullest realization. Blaze In Reynolds' Store. About 4 o'clock Monday ' morning Marshal McSbane noticed a light in 13. Reynolds' store, and upon investi gation found the store to be on fire inside. He yelled fire a few times while running to .the engine bouse and then rang tbe &r belb But few taps were necessary to bring a crowd of fire fighters, with the hose, but some little difficulty was experienced in getting tbe water turned on. Tbo glass was broken- ont ot the front duor aud tbe hose turned into the store. One dash was suffleint to put the fire out, as nothing bad caught yet but the switch board, and it was nearly burned up. The water waa turned off as quickly as possible to avert damag ing tbe goods by water. The damage amounted to between 8350 and 8400; but might have been as many thou sands, bad the fire not leen detected before it became uncontrollable. Tbe light wires and tbe 'phone wire are strung close together down the valley, aud tbe wind swung them together, turning the circuit on the 'phone wire, aud burning cut tbe fuze, and setting tbe switch board ou fire. The lights had been flickering for two nights, and it was remarked that the wires must pretty close together somewhere. . Time to Irrigate. VC. II. McKendree, who went to Summer Lake lust week with tbe Hew itt brothers, who were here from Ta coma, Wahsington, to 'ook over their irrigation project ou the West Side, returned home Friday, the other gen tlemen going on north. They were well pleased with the outlook for their project in this valley, aud were looking for moro like it in the coun try. Whether they found it or not we are not aware, but doubt if tbey will see anything that will beat it on tbeir trip through Oregon. They in tend carrying out the irrigation scheme as planned by Mr. McKendree, and work'will begin as soon as all ar rangements are completed. As little delay will attend tbe carrying out of this project as ever experienced in any irrigation scheme, National or private, yet put under way iu the west. It is our belief that none but necesary aud legitimate delay will occur. It ia very true, as The Examiner has said before, that the opening to settlement and the irrigation of the vast acreage of tbe semi-arid lauds iu Lake county too far in advance of railroads, would not be profitable to the country. Tbe lauds of this county would be so productive with the ap plication of water, that muuy, uiauy times tbe amouut of grain, fruit aud vegetables now grown here would be grown, aud without a uiurket or meaus of exporting tbe same to a market. There are but tew products that could stand the heavy freight charges cur rent under the team' and wagon sys tem ; such as bacon, alfalfa seed, wool and possibly butter. However, the asaurauce we have of early railroad construction, in this county, will al most warrant the immediate begin ning of Irrigation projects. Taft of Ohio ti Adaaiaietraiiea'a Baaay Man, Wbe fa Talke4 ef For the tfiacf. Bis Vaat Balk, lie Tatd an4 lis TaUnl rr Stttiatf "a Ike 144." TALK about Secretary William H. Taft as a presidential candi date bas excited Interest In tbe personal characteristics of tbe famous bead of tbe war department. Tbe aecretary Is tbe kind of man peo ple like to read about whether tbey agree wlta his variety of politics or not lie is noted first of all, perhaps, for Lis bigness the weight, tbe pon derosity of both body and brain, that makes Dim a good man to sit on tbe Hd when there Is something under neath that is steaming hot and liable at any minute to cause an explosion He ia noted for bis good nature, bis ability to get a laugh out of any situa tion, so matter how serious it may look to the average eye. and bis clever ness In smoothing over things by his diplomacy and tact when a less gifted person would only cause riot and rebel lion. Indeed, some say that if one let ter In bis name were changed and be were called Secretary Tact Instead of Secretary Taft the alteration would be an appropriate one. Another of bis qualities Is his readiness. If not actual eagerne. to tackle a dlfflcnlt situa tion. It was popular awhile ago when any bard proposition presented Itself to say. "Take It down to Washington and put It np to Teddy." Secretary Taft has In tbe past few years had so many complicated tasks pnt np to him for settlement that be has earned a reputation almost rivaling Mr. Roose velt's as a national and even Inter national arbitrator. Tbe question bas bean raised. In fact, whether Mr. Taft ought not to be call ed secretary of peace rather than sec retary of war, since his pacific errands form so prominent ' a part of his du ties. When he was a student at Tale ud known as "Bill," he was a great wrestler, but no brawler, and he often disarmed opposition by his boyish way of breaking out into laughter at a crit ical moment aud- putting bla arm around the shoulders of some college mate, a half bug and half slap, and It Is In the same way that In later years he has won over fierce chieftains of divers races and calmed antagonism in many an American politician's breast He has been to Panama so many times that most people have lost track of the count. On his return from his last Journey thither, which Included stops ou the way homeward at Porto Rico and Cuba, Washlngtoniaus got scarce ly a glimpse of his portly figure before he was off again oo a flyiug trip to Ohio to make two or three speeches on subject's not .having much to do with politics and to exchange a word or two with the relatives and friends who are grooming him for tbe presidency. With the advent of the commencement sea sou be will puck his grip and start foi Minnesota and Iowa to advise colle gians who are about to take up the serious business of life, aud a few weeks later he will be off for the Phil ippines agalu to help Inaugurate an era of self government for the Islands In whose welfare he bas such Interest When he was governor general of the Philippines, Judge Taft was so enthu siastically devoted to bis duties that he refused to leave his post until certaiu Important tasks were completed, even though iu so doing he lost the oppor tunity of going on the supreme bench, where. It has beeu said, he would rath er, be than even , lu the presidential chair. Yet when he accepted the post of chairman of the Philippine commis sion he did so with great reluctance. It Is related that when President Mc Klnlcy summoned bim to the White House and offered him the place be said: "I cau't be of any use. I didn't want you to take the Philippines. It was a mistake." The troubled gray eyes of the presl deut regarded the bluff giant Intently and theu smiled us only the McKlnley eyes could smile.' "Nor did I want to t:iUe the Phillp- i plues," he answered, with great car I nestness. "I had to! There noth ing else to do. We must build a new nation out there. I want you to help ns.M And help ho did. George Ross started for Portland last Mouday morning, where he goes to complete 'his educatiou. He will top out his educational attainments with a com se iu carricature, and take on a little music on tbe side. Ueorge will take lessons iu cartooning under men well up in the art, such as Harry Murphy and others in Portland. Thoseof Lakeview who have seen the work be has been doing in that line for tbe past year or two', without any instructions, have no misgivings as to the oulaome of his venture.

The sad news was received iu Lake view Sunday evening through a letter to Harry A. Hunter, of the death on Juue 1th, of A. C. MoGillivray, at bis home iu Dickinson, North Dakota. Lakeview people will remember Mr. McUillivray, who waa here tbe fore part of May, ' looking over the road land, in, which he was part owner. His wife accompanied him, and the two made many friends while here, both being of tbe genial nature that makes friends fast aud retains them long. Every one who met them was glad of the meetiug aud they will be puiued to loam of the loss of tLeir newly-made and loved friend, and they will sympathize deeply with the little woman whom they also laerned to admier during her short stay in our little city. Mr. McUillivray left an appointment to return here in July, and we all looked forward to that meeting with pleasure. How little we realize that each meeting with a friend may be tbe last -! - h: . - Ml
