We once lived at 1'alxley, We liked the town and like It yet. While there we watched cl aely thu natural trend of trade and growth. We found that 1'alHley wun. ao to npeuk, situated not far from thu head of two utreamw, of wealth prod uc I u forces, the one flow IriK South into Lukeview, and the oth r flowing North iuto Silver Lake. And we found that outelile a circle of very email diameter, everything which oontriliutud to the Krowth of a town flowed away from l'aieley. That very uolp to the town froii Hourcee outside this email circumference imiHt he drawn there UKuiiiMt a etroiitf na tural current iu au opuoaite direction and at Kreat coet to enterprising cltl- y.eus of the town. We gave three years of our life woikintf shoulder to shoul der with as good and enterprising ci tizens as evor devoted their lives to the upliiilldhiK of a town, utriviuff to reverse tlio Htrong tides ever flowing from us. Hut uature drove every help outalde the limited urea, away from us. Pulsley Is tlio center of a splendid uomtiiunity, without natural ulliuuce with outlying aids to het Krowth. Lakeview Is the natural reservoir in to which ull bt reams near it easily flow. With the capital, enterprise, and vigor of all surrounding neighbor hoods contributing. In the niOHt na tural spirit of co-operativo ell'ort to the strength uud btulnlity of Lakeview as niuiket iu which to buy and aell, combinud with the alertness of Lake view business men, the town, by the Jocreo of uature, the epli It of its peo ple, and the unalienable friendship of thoHO who arc natural contributors to Its strength, is without a rival as to its eligibility us countv seat for Lake County, i and mutt reniaiu so.

LAKEVIEW Teams Meet On the State Line Grounds A large crowd went to Pine Creek Innt Sunday to witness a ball game between the t'iuo Creek team and Lakeview team. Hvery available con veyance was put to use, and many who wanted to go were unablo to do so becauHe they could uot get a team or rind room la the rigs that went. The day was a little too cold to be pleoHiint riding, but no one who went regrets having gone thiough the slight hardship r the time tbey had fully re paid them. The gamo was called at 2 o'clock P. M. by Win Nixon, umpire. A large crowd attended, and the gate receipts amounted to a neat little sum. PI no Creek went to the bat first but failed to score. Lakeview made It tallies their tlist time to the bat and the second time Pine Creek made 2 iu their seoond at bat, and from that time on throughout the game, it was in and out by both sides. It was a good game, interesting throughout. Hoth teams played good ball, Lake view winning iu a score, of 9 to 5. Charley Cook; kept score, Hud we failed to get the game by innings or the line up. There were several "jowerg" over decisions, and once or twice it looked as thouith the crowd would be treated to a little side show. However, all difficulties wore settled and the game ended in tlio beet of feeling on all sides. Lakeview aud Pine Creek can have many a good time together, as the ball teams are so nearly eipial iu point 1 of strength, that every game is of I great interest to the. fans of both tOWUB. Alturas Will Not Give In liob Hartin, of Lakeview, was here last week, endeavoring to so arrange with the Alturas Jockey club so the two race meetings would not conflict iu their dates, llorsemeu from all over the country are desirous of at tending both meetings, but the dutes are so arrauged that the two meetings come at the same time. .We are in formed that he was not successful iu his mlssiou, as the Alturas Jockey Club had their dutes set some two mouths Iu advance of the Lakeview people, aud seem to think it would be only fair for the Lakeview meeting to post pone to uouord.-Alturas New Era.

Up to the time of going to prees tie pttitiou presented by the north mi people tor placing the county seat removal roposition on the ballot bad not been tiled with the county court. There were 008 names to the peti ti hi, at d 4(il are necessary to get the measure on the ballot. There were about 37 person who signed the petition who MKiied another one asking the county court to take their names off the former pet itiou. leaving 171 names, oi just ten more than the required number. . Kveu should the requlste number of names be secured, it is considered doubtful if the question of removing the County beat could be legally placed upon the ballot at this time. The law relating thereto is not altogether clear, but from reading of the act appears as if tLe clerk is required to give 30 days' notice of the fact that ! the quebtion is to be voted on, anr1 this of course cannot now be done. When to Kill Game The Examiner this week received a letter from Mr. W. A. Cauffman. of Kenesaw, Nebraska, general agent for .'the Oreg tn Valley Land Company, w hich receutly took over the large tract ot Road laud lying in this county, i mention of which was made exclusive- a v.. i ' V ' - - - S f" 4 J - li f t -V, iV ly in the Lake County Examiner a few weeks ago. Mr. Cauffman Hyn, after the usual" Please find Inclosed money order for which send your oaper, etc. " "Now, Mr. Metzker, I will be glad to see anything good in your paper in regard to the big land deal, and I want to tell you right here, that we are going to make Lakeview look like a young Loudon before vey long, and all you people there cau help as will be appreclater very much. When is it the best time to hunt in Oregon? I am a great hand for that kind of sport. Hoping to hear from you elc, I am, W. A. Cauffman." In a former letter from Mr. Cauff man, be stated that the Oregon Valley Land Comany, were men who "do things". In regard to the best time for hunt log in Oregon this part of Oregon, we will say tbt from the first day of January to the thirty-first day of De cember is good, bat one mast be guid ed somewhat by the Oregon game laws, as we are not far enough out of the world as to be immune from law. Deer bunting is good most any time, but it is unlawful to kill buck deer between the first day of November of each year, and the fifteenth day of Aupust of the following year, and to kill female deer between the first day of November of each year and the first day of September of the following year. It is also unlawful to hunt with dogB at any time, and to kill any kind o deer at any time of the year one hour after sunset or one hour before sunrise It is also unlawful for any one person to kill more than five deer in any open season, or to sell any deer any time. Hunting tor geese auu ducks or any of the various kinds of fowl, is best in the fall of the year. The closed season for geese and ducks is from the first day of April to the fifteenth day of September of each year. Hunters must have a license, which is procured from the county clerk and costs one dollar. OUTLOOK IS VERY BRIGHT Mines Opening andHoney Supplied for Road New Pine Creek Ore. May 4th. Conditions are warming up in the Hoag District, with the openug of the season. Mr. John McFarland, au old time - Virginia City aud California miner, has secured an option on "The Big Bonanza Group," property of the Big 4 Mining Co. We are not at lib erty to state details of the option but from what we have been told Mr. Mc Farland has a very advantageous con tract and one we feel very sure will go through, and'tbe Big Bonanza will soon be under vigorous development. Mr. McFarland has a force of three men now at work sampling and doing some preliminary work, he saving 75 days in which to sample and prospect the group Chas.

Senator Fulton-Elkins' Match Dispatches state that U. S. Senator S. ti. Elkins of West Virginia, oue of the most prominent orators aud lead era of the upper nouse or congress, aud known as the railroad Senator, met his match a few days ago in the person of Senator 0. W. Fulton, of Oregon. The Oregon ian says: "Sen ator Fulton squared accounts with Senator Elkins on account of the let ters deliberate refusal to permit the Interstate commerce committee to consider and vote upon the Fulton bill providing that no Interstate freight rates shall be increased until such ad vance is held by the Interstate com- meroe commission to be just and reas onable. LAND 0 PEN t N G AT LAKEVIEW Classed With Oklahoma Land Lottery R- J- MARTIN VISITING LAKEVIEW Vast Tract of Road Land to Be Cut Up Into Small Farms and i-old to Homebuilders R. J. Martin, of the Oregon Valley Land Co.. whom The Examiner men tioned a few weeks ago as being then on ills way to Lake county, arrived here last week, after this paper had gone to press. Mr. Martin is looking over bis company's new possessions, and be is more than pleased with their bargain. He is interested la the vegetable and fruit yield of this county, and sees much in store for the farmers if careful attention is paid to starting orchard. The Ex aminer published the terms opon which this large body of land will be put on the market by the Oregon Valley Land Co. Farms of from ten acres to one thousand acres will be offered for sale, at not to exceed 200 for each farm, and a town lot ia an addition to Lakeview is to be given with each purchase. There are thou sands of acres of this land that is the very choicest land in this county, some natural hay land, and soma as fine, rich grain and fruit land as can be found in any country. Tne cutting up of this large tract of land, which has. over since the settlement of this '! y, been held, practically in a body, under one ownersnip, mesas much to the futnre of Lake county. It has often been said that the peo ple holding these lands were the only drawback to the settlement of Lake county. It is said by fcome that the opening of these lands is next in importance to the world famed Oklahoma land opening, a few years ago, and that there can never be another such land opening in the United States.
