PINE CREEK
VS. 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.

THAT COUNTV
SEAT PETITION.
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 is it the best time to hunt in

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

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

the fall of the year. The closed season
for geese and ducks is from the first

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.
