LAKE COUNTY TO BE ADVERTISED That the resources of Lake County are to be brought much more prom inently before tbe outside world than ever before is plainly evident from the amount of advertising matter ! tug gotteu out by the several real es tate agencies of Lakevlew. During he past week The Kxaminer has been busy on large orders for tbe Pacific Laud Co, Oregou .t California Laud and Locating Co., Dreukel & Paine and J. W. Maxwell, about 15,000 12 to 21 page pamphlets, aud has not yet reached tbe end. The Commercial Club will also get out a fine pamphlet, fltio people in tbe North end, to reach describing ill sections of the couuty, the County Seat, must travel an aver and every live man should become a age of 40 miles each, or a total of 24- member of tbe Club. m , Fight to Bitter End Southern Lake Couuty will never cease to oppose and RESIST by every legal means, tbe removal of tbe Coun ty Seat from Lakeview, and agitators as well learn now as later, that it will be far easier to get a new county. liy statements of tbeir own papers.it is ouly a question of about ten months time when tbey will have tbe popula tion required liy law for a new Coun ty, if tbere were two thousand people in the North eud and six hun dred in the South end, instead of a condition directly reverse, we could not oppose removal, if tbey desired it. Lakeview is at tbe center of popula tion in Lake couuty. Lakeview' is at this time, more easi ly reached by at least two thirds of the people than any other place in tbe Couuty. Lakeview la tbe only place in the county that is prepared to transact all the business of the people, and they will never tolerate removal. It U unreasonable, cannot be justified under any pretext, to discommode two thousand people, to oblige six huu- died, as it would do, to move tbe County Seat to Paisley. Fair minded voters will never sane-' tiou such a movement. We say to Sil ver Lake, however, after you have done your utmost to injure us, we will show the spirit that ia in us by aiding you to get what you really ought to have, a uew Couuty, when you have gained the necessary popula tion. Certainly you are to have a new Goutity, aud you know that it is conn ing. If you bad the necessary popula- tlon you know that you would be now ldemamnUg,not removal of the Couuty Seat, but a new County, which every day demonstrates with increased clear ness you will soon be prepared for. Tbe South end will teach you a lit tle patience, forget your injustice to us, and aid you to get what nature clearly designs you shall have, a new County, when you are ready. Better expend your money and energies lu getting ready. Better let prospective settlers understand there is soon to be a county seat, not at Paisley, seventy five to one hundred miles away, but In' their very midst at their doors; In the heart of a community without conflicting interests, where all can work harmoniously, for tbe benefit of all by laws for the organization. This committee U composed of K A. Haw kins, Harry Hailey and Oick J. Wll cox. After a short discussion as to LAKE VIEW CENTER OF POPULATION The population of the North end of Lake County is (V0; of the South end it is 3NX). The GX) persons in tbe North end to get to Lakevlew, must travel an average of CO miles each, or a total of 'MWQ milex must be traveled for nil o' them to come to Lakevlew. The JOK) persons In tbe South end, to get to Lakevlew must travel an aver- age of 20 miles, and all of tbem a to- tal of 4,0000 miles. Then for all tbe people to come to Lakevlew a grand total of 70,000 miles must be traveled If the county peat were at Paisley, tbe !ooo. The 2000 persons of the South eud must, going by any couuty road. to ranch the County Seat at Paisley, travel an average of CO mile each, or a total of VJ)l)t0M wuelit and all the peo- pie of tbe County to reach tbe county seat at Paisley must travel a grand total of 144,000 miles, lf.from 144,000 miles that all tbe people must travel by a practicable County road toi each tbe County Seat at Paisley, we deduct 70,000 miles tbey must travel to reach the County Seat at Lakeview, we And the difference to be C$,000 miles the people must travel to get to tbe coun ty seat at Paisley, more tbao tbey now travel to get to tbe Conty Seat at Lakeview. Every voter who is un prejudiced may prove these estimates to be practically correct. Any state ment, differing materially from this is prejudiced, misleading, and inten tionally untrue. Work For Commercial Club Tbe need of a commercial club has long been apparent here, and since tbe rapid settlement of the country begau the more urgent ia tbe demand for such au organization. People looking to a country for a place to locate, to which they are strangers, seek information through such bodies. Lakeview now bas a commercial club, and tbe sooner this club gets into action the sooner will the nounty be gin to reap benefits from it. Tbe following letter was received by The Examiner last week: Sau Diego, Cal., Lakeview Examiner: Pleas? find stamps for w hich send me a few copies of your paper, aud state subscription price. If you have a Commercial Club in your town, please sud ua literature describing the county. Where the Dlf erence Lies We have made a careful estimate of distances traveled by residents of each community in the Couuty, and nud that, all tbe people in tbe County may reach Lakeview by traveling an ag gregate of 76,000 miles, or an average of thirty miles to each person. A careful estimate made in the same mauner shows that to reach Paisely the same people must travel an aggre gate of 114,000 miles, or an average of 65g mile to each person. This is all the reason that any fair minded man needs to lead bim to op pose tbe removal of the County Beat to Paisley, no matter In what part ot tbe County he may live. Seeks Business Location Oeorjje Storkman started for Prlne ville Monday morning, where he goes to seek a location for a cigar factoiy. George .-s a steady young man, and Lakevlew dislikes very much to lose so industrious a man as be But what is Lake view's loss will be Prinevllle's gain. George desires to go into business for himself, and be bas been employed with bis father for tbe past several years in the mann facture of cigars in Lakevlew, and is competent in every way, his friends are glad to see him start out for him self, and bavt no misgivings as to the result of bis venture. George will return to Lakevlew about tbe first of May nd take his wife t ) bis new borne. Tbere is an immense lot of "red tape" connected with establish ing a cigar factory, bencebis first trip into tbe field a month before starting into the business. He has received considerable encouiagement to go into tbe cigar business In Prineville, from business men of that city. We feel sure that tbey will never have cause to regret having encouraged bim. Eagles' Annual Ball Tbe annual ball given by tbe Eagles' Lodge of this place last Friday eve ning, was a grand success in every respect. Tbe dance was well attended, all tbe members being present and many from a distance being here. Everyone who ever attends dances was there, as it was looked forward to as a grand affair, tbe Eagles being well known entertainers. Tbe decorations in tbe ball and Banquet room were very handsome, and these, together with tbe many bright and pretty cos tume? worn by tbe ladies, presented a very brilliant scene Tbe supper spread in tbe Masonic banquet room, 'was tbe clowning feature of tbe event, and every one who bad tbe pleasure of sitting down to tbe tables declared that no finer supper was ever given in Lakeview, nor could it have been better. The tables were decorated with carnations, sent from Reno. Those who bad charge of tbe supper were: Mrs. Red din, Mrs. Magilton, Mrs. JobnArzner Mrs. Egan. There is some talk of tbe Eagles' Lodge giving tbe celebration on tbe Fourth of July, but so far as we have been able to learn, nothing definite bas been settled upon. s Be Careful How You Vote Electors should make or approve changes in tbe constitution and laws by initiative and referendum, after careful, painstaking investigation, and becoming well assured tbe change is desirable and should be made, for tbe public good. , None of these matters are so insig nifiicant as not to require attention. If you are not convinced that you are acting in tbe line of leal progress in voting for a measure, you should vote against it. Dont let a single one of tbem pass without voting on it, and remember always, it is better to be for a while longer without a good law, than to have a bad oae enacted Vote No, on every one, on whicb you do not see a reason of some ad vantage to the public, 'why you should vote Yes You established legislation by initia tive and referendum that you might enact such good lars as you desired, when tbe Legislature would not enact tbem, and that you might annul bad laws when they weie enacted. A new responsibility is therefore upon you, not the least of which ia to see that you act on correct information. Cranks are always active, aud often make things appear reasonable aud desirable, to tbe thoughtless, which prove simply -an annoying, trouble some, foolisb, on trial. Tbey need to be taught that the people are not sleepy. You have tbe wisest system of lawmaking ever devised, if you make tbe best use of your opportunities and power. You may, through it, get your laws very much tangled, through inattention. This tbe old bosses hope you will do. It would be their oppor tunity to urge a return to tbe old way. lie vigilant, investigate, and vote, Yes or No; -aud often, No. Having taken this new responsibili ty, a broader culture, higher educa tion for tbe people should be encour aged. Never In all your action, vote or do any other act that obstructs or re tards tbe movement for better educa tional facilities. We believe it will be safe always, to support any measure for tbe benefit of education In Oregon. Show those who regard the initiative aud referendum .s "the cranks para dise," because they distrust tbe in telligence of tbe people, that you are awake to tbe Importance of .your new responsibility. NEW JUDICIARY mm OFFERED Law Will Abolish Office of County Judge SUPERIOR JUDGE FOB COUNTIES Legislature Will Have Free naruf In Establishing- An Entirely New System 302 Yes. 303- No. This is an amendment referred to tbe people bv tbe Legislative Assemb ly, providing that Slate institutions may, by act of tbe Legislative Assem bly and tbe approval of tbe people, be established elsewhere tban at the seat of government. All State insti tutions, Penitentiary, Lu iptic Asy lum etc, must, as tbe constitution now provides be established at the State Capital. It is sought by this amendment to allow them, when deemed best, to be established elsewhere with tbe appro val of tbe people by referendum. This amendment, we think, may be a proper change. 304- Yes. 305 No. This is an amendment proposed by tbe Legislative Assembly to the Con stitution having for its object, first to increase the number of Supreme Judges from three to five, it also au thorizes the Legislature to provide by appropriation, for tbe exercise by tbe circuit courts, of the probate juris diction now exercised by tbe County Courts and to oreate an appropriate body or tribunal for the transaction of County business. This amend ment, if passed, will open a wide field for changes in our system of ad ministering tbe laws. It is difficult to see bow probate business can be properly transacted except there is always present in tbe County tbe Court or Judge having power in such matters. This amend ment may, tberefora, lead to a system ot Courts and tribunals similar to that df California, wherein a Superior Judge in each county exercises pro bate jurisdiction, and also such juris diction as circuit judges in Oregon now have. There is in each County in Califor nia a tribunal consisting of three or more Supervisors elected from dis tricts, and these, without a county Judge, transact county business. The only real use for a county Judge will be removed when probate jurisdiction is transferred to another court. Tbe California system has this ad vantage that tbe Courts are always open, and tbere is no waiting for term time to try any case. It may be tried when ready. We cannot of course know what the Legislature will do, but have pointed out what it seems to us, likely tbey may do. However, tbey may do some thing very different. If you are satisfied with tbe States judiciary sytem as it is, vote for 300. If you are not satisfied with it, and are willing to trust tbe Legislative Assembly to create a. better system vote for 304, but remember, this gives the Legislature almost a free rein, to do what it will. Each county may be made a judicial district. Cannot Loan Beer Au exchange states from authority that a saloonkeepei must neither bor row nor lend beer lu quantities equal to or exceeding five gallons, either in kegs or bottles. It is the practice a mong saloon keepers in small towns remote from wholesale bouses to loan eaoh other beer uutil uew stock can be secured, when the beer is paid back. This practice is forbidden by the government A saloon keeper who borrow or loans beer in quan tities, either in bottles or in kegs, of five gallons or more lays himself lia ble for tbe penalty of failing to take out a wholesalers' license. A retail dealer, so says the authority, can ou ly borrow In such quantities as be can selL He cannot sell five gallons or over without a wholesalers' license.
