of tho fact that in a considerable por

Another ditmgrceahlo feature thut
one tia-i to coutoud with, in tho imi
versul ciihtoin of "tipping" tho wait
rituHoa, especially in tho bettor eating
places. They stand and wait for their
"tips, " and serve you in accordance
with the size of tbe"tlp they receive
and they are displeased If you do Dot
give them the "tip", aud you are din
pleased If you do. I feel sorry for the
waiters, but If I had the power, the
whole system of "tipping" would be
kicked clear aoross the Atlantic ocean,
or better still, iuto utter oblivion.
Oo into the poor quarters and see
them come out of the basements, men,
women and children, ecautlly dressed,
contracted faoes, with every evidence
of poor and Insufficient nourishment.
Inside their abode there is neither
sufficient room, light or fresh airland
bo me of them even eat out of the gar
bage cans, such morsals as will satisfy
their hunger.
If any one can witness these pltible
things, this suffering humanity, of
our bone and flesh, without a pang of
rtorrow, they are not human.
Now 1 will conclude with the in
tolerable noise, whioh none can es
cape if they would. The drays, wag
ons, automobiles, etc., passing along
the streets on the brick and coble
atone pavements would bo sufficient,
alone, to drive one mad, Jmt to add
to this the ooustaut grlad of the
street cars, then, ou top of all this,
add ten tinea more for the elevated,
ffolnu over sour head every few mo

hard to get used to. It la enough to
try to think, to talk and be hoard or
hour one talk, is lmpoHHiblo at times.

Some days ago be was cutting a piece
of meat with an ax, holding the meat
with one band aud chopping with the

which almost severed the front finger

great deal.
The Rebekah's of this place have
adopted the very wise policy of run
ning a card in the paper. Members
can keep posted on who the officers
are and the meeting nights, besides
many other advantages derived from
carrying a card lu the paper. One j
thing, we will wager, the Rebekah's
will not be aa negligent in changing
their card when they elect new officers
as soma or the Ixidges that carry
cards in The Examiner.
B. MoOrath last Saturday brought
to town a sample of ice whlob he

the nearest mill at present, three days
Is required to make the trip with a
load. This will stimulate grain grow
ing on the West Side, and it is pre
dicted that, in a short time that side
of the valley, which is adapted to
grain growing, will be aHo to almost
.
.supply the mill. The thousando of
acred of good, level land now lying
i idle will be in waving wheat field
i There is nmule room for huiiilrrrla nf
wheat growers within easy access to
th e Lakeview mill, aud no doubt as
soon us a market is supplied for the
wheat, theso vacancies will be filled.
We want more people to raise more
wheat, and cause the demand for a
railroad to be so great that railroad
builders cannot loujter ignore our
nee ls. The past seuson has shown
thut grain can be grown in various
parts of this county without irriga
tion. The industry is no longer an
ejDerlment. So give us the mill, and
the farmers will come, and then the
railroad, and then the beighth of
prosperity.
Hold Democratic Convention.
The Democratic state central com
mittee met in Portland on the 18th of
this month and appointed Tuesday,
the 10th day of Jnne as the time, and
Pnrtlrrid as the place for holding a
Democratic State convention for the
purpose of choosing eight delegates
j and eight alternates to represent the
state of Oregon at tho National Dem
' ocratic convention to be held in Den
' ver, Colorado, July 7th, this year.
!l'he state committee has fixed the ap
1 portionment for this state convention
at oue delegate at large for each
county an one for every 250 votes or
fraction over 125 votes cast for Gov
ernor Chamberlain at the last election
This apportionment gives Lake coun
ty two delegates, and makes the en
tire body number 217 delegates. The
mauner of the election of these dele
gates is left to the several Democratic
county committees. It was also de
cided at the meeting in Portland that
the Presidential electors be chosen at
the primary election, on April 7.
Crook County is Willing.
After quoting The Examiner's
editorial of two weeks airo. in regard
ual, the leading Republican newspaper
of t rook county, comments on our
Brticlrt us follows:
j "Right you aro Examiner, and all
Lako county has to do is to get to
gether and nominate a man. Grant has
had the senatorsbip for two terras, so
has Crook county, and iu all fairness
the office is up to Lake or Klamath.
If Lake prefers a representative then
Klaniato should have the senator.
Representative Belknap is being urged
by rieod to make the run for a sec
ond term and it is possible be may do
so. Just at present candidates are a
little slow in making announcements. "

for state Senator from the district
comprising Lake, Klamath and Crook

Death of Mre. Schlsgel.
The sad news was spread about early
Sunday morrring that "Grandma"
SchlRgel was dead. Mrs. Schlagel
had been very low for several days
with pneumonia, aud her death was
no great hurprise to those who had
watched her gradual fading away.
Hedwig Young, was born at Rbul,
(Jermany, July 23, W0, came to the
United States with her parents when
she met and married Mr. X. Scbalgel,
at Burlington, Iowa, on July 3, 1857.
They moved to Yreka, Califorlna, two
years after their marriage, and to
Lakeview iu the year 1888, where she
has Iired since. Her husband died
November 11, 1901, and was buried in
iaKeview. lrs. scbiagel has been a
member of the Presbyterian church
for many years, and was a devout
christian. She joined the Rebekab
Lodge at lreka, and was a member of
tho Lakeview Lodge. She waa the
mother of eight children, all living
except oue who died iu infancy. The
surviving children are.: Herman
Schlagel, Cfaico ; Louise Fiock, Sa
cramento; Emma Schlagel, Yreka;
Amelia Wilcox. Lakeview; Ous Schla
Cleveland, Ohio; Minnie Scott, St,
Helena, Cal. ; Frank, of Portland.
One brother survives her, Bob Young
of Gazelle, Cal.
Gus Schlagel wired that he would
reach here on the 5th of Feb., but
the wire came too late, his mother
was dead, and it was impossible to
keep the remains till h coul 3 arrive,
so on Wednesday, January 23, at 2
o'clock, P. M., the Rebekab Lodge of
this piace took charge of the body of
their deceased sister for burial.
Impressive funereal services were
held at the Methodist Church, after
which all that was mortal of this
grand, old mother, was tenderly con
veyed to that Silent City, where, by
the side of her devoted husband, who
preceded her to the grave several
years, she now rests in peace.
- Deceased was the mother of a large
and gifted family, all of whom are
grown and scattered from the old fire
side.
None ever entered her home with
out a warm welcome, or left without
feeling the warmth of a genuine
hospitality, so characteristic of ber
ancestry. Disease did not destroy
the charm of a kind, indulgent dis i
position, nor old age diminish ber un
selfish solicitude for her friends and
loved ones. Her children were
always her boys aud girls, even after
they were grown. While she has con
tinued to enjoy the society of her
friends and children, she has for sev
eral years realized that her active life
was over and with resignation awaited
the Dmue call from death to life.
When the death dew gathered upou
her marble brow there was but oue of
her daughters present t ) watch that
life so long interwoven with theirs
slowly but surely pass over. Busi
ness cares and their own home circles
have encroached upon their time and
robbed mother of their companionship
but she was ever just the sam, re
joicing at their successes aud ttriev
ing at their misfortunes, if any.
They may be fai from her but she
was ever near them in ber mind.
Vain is any attempt to measure the
loss of a mother to her children; there
is no love like mother love. We be
lieve the tender care devoted to those
nearest and dearest went with her to
the better land, and in the possibili
ties of eternity may be needed here
after. We fancy her awaiting them
in the place prepared for ber, perhaps
little away from the innumerable
company in bright array In the
light, not of the sun, neither of the
moon, we see her beyond the fields
of fadeless asphodel, uder the waving
palms, beside the still waters bordered
with silver lilies. These may be
merely figures, but tbey bear a
precious meaning to yearning hearts
made for the deep household loves;
hearts that will not be comforted be-
cause the angel of the
iuK-
house is - miss-
A fire occurred in Klamath Falls
a week ago whioh resulted in a loss of
about 11200 to Mr. L. Alva Lewis, the
the jewelry store was burglarized and
the building set on fire to cover the
first crime.
The obituary of Mr. Lute Lyon, pub
lished iu this week's Examiner was
sent to us last week, but miscarried,
aud did not reach this office till
Saturday, after, the paper was out.
We ba.X the name of Mr. Lyon, the
deceased, mixed up with the mau who
died near Willow Ranch a week or
two ago, whoae name was Plummer.

Business Men Anxious to
Sign the Roll.
MEMBERSHIP IS NOW FORTlf.
Other Counths Have Profited by
Their Organization of a
Similar Character,
A move that The Examiner has long
advocated was put on foot last Thurs
day evening at the City Hall. The
organization of a Commercial Club
for this city was inaugurated, and
every citizen present lost no time in
getting his name to the membership
roll, which called for a fee of 825 each.
The initiation fee cut no figure, as all
were enthuse i over the proposition,
believing that no other step could be
more promising for the future of the
town. Hardly had the scheme been
announced by Mr. J. N. Watson, till
other members of the meeting jumped
to his support, and in less than five
minutes about 20 members were en
rolled. Col. F. P. Liuht was ap
pointed to circulate the roll for fur
ther addition to the membership and
up to the time of going to press 40 of
our business men had signed the pa
pie, makiug a fund of tlOOO to start
the Club off with. It is the inten
tion to erect a building as soon as the
Club is well under way, and furnish
it with suitable and up-to-date equip
ment. Visitors to Lakeview will not
be lost for some place to go and while
away their time. Thn Club w ill also
be made the headquarters for all in
formation concerning the county, and
will no doubt be liberally patronized.
News From the Desert.
The following communication from
the desert, up in Harney county,
dated January 2i, is good uews from
our winter ranges:
Editor Examiner: Since we get the
old home paper once in a long while,
and see news iu it from all parts of
the county, except here on the desert,
1 will try and give you a few lines
from this part Of the country.
With the exception of a few bands
of sheen in this section of thA Hprf
Utockofall kinds look fine. There
has teen little need for hay so far this
winter. There are lota of cattle on
the ranee that are fat enouih for beef.
ttIld horses are as fat as they are gen
erally iu the umme time. However,
there are a few sheep dying here, that
were very poor last fall, whea they
came to the desert. All the sheep
from Lake county are looking good,
and there is better staple of wool
tbad there has been for four years.
J. D. Edler is now making his last
drive of the sheep be bought at Burnes,
to the Buttes, where he has the test
of his sheep this winter.
J. M. MoDade, formerly of Lake
view, is in Catlo valley with two large
bands of fine sheep.
There Is in the neighborhood of
100,000 head of sheep on this desert
this winter, and outside of the loss
from coyotes, the losses will be very
light.
The coyote is the one pest whioh
the sheepmen have no way of protect
ing themselves against, as they are
becoming bolder every year.
Eight Inches of snow is the most
that has been on the high desert this
winter, and there baa keen none on
the low desert, op to till today.
There is eight inches of the beautiful
on the ground tonight, and it is still
snowing. This is better for the sheep
as they can get out farther from the
watering places now, where the feed
has not been eaten down.
