ever before is plainly evident from
the amount of advertising matter !

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.
