Twelve of tbe 19 meaaurea voted upon were carried In tbe atate. Tbe two Hob bllla carried, wblob it aeems will practically tie up ealroon fishing in tbe Columbia. Tbe Corrupt practice law carried iu tbe etnto. Tbia law la ao strict a to be absurd. It forblda tbe glv ing or money ror campaign purpoaea above a certain aum, most of which will go to tbe state printer. It forbids auy of tbe relatives of a caudi lute, bis employers, or bis close friends from giviug any voter a piece of meat or other food, to drink, cigars clothing, or anything of value duriug h campaign or alter, wbicb gift might be construed as one to Influence lu any way tbe vote of tho recipient. There is uo telling what trouble peo lle will get into over this law. Tho statement No. 1 law will praotl cally wipe nut Statement No. 1, as it will come In conflict with the couutitu f Ion of the United States whenever an attempt is made to enforce it. Tho University bill is good; the Hood River bill Is all right; Tbe bill to locate state institutions else where than at tho seat of governnieut is not bad ; the law giving sberiffc charge of prisoners will never be noticed only in Multnomah county; changing tbe time of eleotiou is all light. Tho resall law, we believe, will create a difference of legal opinion as to whether the law will bo self execut ing or whether tbe legislature will be required to provide a means of execution. The proportionate Representation measure is somewhat complicated, but its clearest iuteut Is in part, that voters may vote twice for one man of a party who l a caudidato for any oflloe tilled by two, such as represent atives. In case of a district like this one, if one political party should ;ut up two candidates for represent' alive and another party should put up but one, the members of the latter party may vote twice for their candi date. This law will also get luto the hands of the legislature, and the re sult ueed not be feared. Tbe grand Jury bill takes away from the prosecutiug attorney the power to Indict and places it iu tbe liands of tbe grand jury. Water-Jag" Dangerous Water Intoxication Induced by too copious use of water externally or Internally has beeu pointed oat by Dr. L. I). Meson of Chicago, vice president of the American Society for tbe Study of Inebriety. Aloobol and Drug Neurosis, as being aa dangerous as overindulgence In atoohoL Dr. Mason, a leading physician and philanthropist of Brooklyn, delegate to the American Medical Association Convention, addressed Inmates of the Washington Uom on "Why Men Drink". He declared patent medi cine drunkenness almost aa prevalent as the generally reoognlzed forma. "1 have a friend who Is a victim of aqua mania", he said- "He spends hours In a bathtub and drink so much water that be baa reduoed the solids of bia body and worked seri ous injury to himself. Many men and women drink too much water and are victims of that form of Intoxi cation. "We are all creatures of habit And our best men and women are victims of bablt Thousands are victims of patent medicine drunken ness. Cue prominent temperance lecturer of my acquaintance drinks ao much of tbls stuff that be la constantly under the Influence of this drug or Intolxoaut. Most of these patent medicines are 75 per ceut cheap whis key This really Is a serious question for temperance societies. When tbey secure a pledge of abstinence from a woman or man they also should exact pledge against tbe use of patent medicines. Tea and coffee drinkers aUo generally are intemperate. They keep themselves constantly under the in nun nee or mese stimulants to tbe in- ury of their sight and other senses. Cigars are narcotlo and men who pride themselves on abstlnenoe from liquors carry one in their month all day or a pipe when tbey go to bed." Portland Telegram.

But, 1 am sorry they passed, against your unanswerable reasoning two objectionable measures tbe recall amendment, and the bill instructing members of tha Legislative Assembly to elect to tbe United States Senate the Candidate receiving tbe largest number of votes at tbe general election. Again, 1 am glad, because, since tbe measures can do no good, tbey can do little or no barm. Oue is already dead, the other will d'e. Tbe state has passed eight of these measures whiou Lake County ynr rejected, three or four of them being tbe very worst of the whole batch. I am proud of the good sense shown by Lake County voters in tbls niHttor as oompared with tbe very blind and inconsiderate action of voters in otbor localities. I am proud (if the Lake Couuy Examiner ; fori believe 1L. -ill. . i i a . iuo neusiuiB, practical treatment you gave of these aubjeots, helped the voter in tho formation of bis judg ment, and doubtless caused them to vote against many measures upon which tbey would not have votod at all. I believe the fruits of your clour and honest criticism of these measures bore fruit at the election, and that future developments will reveal more and more to tho people, the sincerity and value of the Examiner's treatment of matters of Importance to its read ers. No otbor County iu the State ahows so good a record aa Lake does in its votes on iuiliativa and referendum measures. No other local paper worked so auHiduously as The Exam iner did to this result. You see how much better Luke County has done than othern. You helped, by your vote, and no doubt by your paper, to bring this about. It I am uot niiatukou, and very much miatrtkou, your reward will come. A. Subscriber. LAKE COUNTY TO BOOM NEXT SPRING Mr. L. B. Green, of Kansas City, Mo., writes Tbe Examiner as follows, concerning tbe future of Lake county : "Your paper received for wbicb you will Hud encloed check for same. I noticed Mr. R. J. Martin's name mentioned in my last paper. The way his company are putting that big land deal, known as tbe Old Military Road Grant, before the people you 1 can look for Lakeriew to sUrt next ! spring lu a way that will surprise the j people. You will see a gieat boom in i Lake v I am coming myself' next spring. I presume the railroad will be iu your town soon. It will need a railroad to take care of the people. " May Have Theatrical Company William V. Mong and wife arrived here from Klamath Falls Tuesday morning. They intend making this, place their headquarters for a while ' and will organize a company and play here continuously. Tbey will probably have a oompany here lu time for the July festivities. Mr. and Mrs. Mong are desirable people, as well as artists iu their profession, and we welcome them as residents of our city. We wish them every success. SEN. FULTON'S ELECTION VIEWS Washington, D. C. June 3. Senator Fulton said today: "I regret very much tbe defeat of Mr. Cake. I am not going to believe, however, that a Republican Legisla ture will elect a Democrat to tbe United States Senate unti 1 witness tbe aotual fact. "I am on record as contending wben the direct primary law was ad opted, tbat tbe people did not under stand that under any circumstances a Republican Legislature would be call ed upon to elect a Democratic Senat or, or tbey never would bave adopted the law. In my judgment, in select ing a Senator and taking tbe oath of office to support tbe Constitution of the United States, if the legislator selects anyone for the Senate who in his judgment does not represent the principles and policies that are for tbe best interests of tbe people, be violates his oath. Hence I say the Republican Legis lature will not elect Democratic Senators. ' ' Telogra m . START NEW INDUSTRY Los Angeles Man Inter ested In Lakeview The following letter received by The Examiner might be of interest to tbe aheepmen of Lake connty. This letter, is from Mr. W. F, Burnett, of 1231 Shatto st, Los Angeles, Oal., who also is a subscrib er to The Examiner: "In reading a little booklet publish ed by your Arm for the Pacific Land Co., I note among the openings at Lakeview is a wool scouring plant, I also note that over 3,000,000 pounds of wool are annually exported from your county, I would therefore con sider there would be a good opportun ity for such an enterprise provided it bad the support of the sheep men. Do you tuiuk it would have, also do you think tbtty would be willing to en courage such an enterprise by taking stock in any company that would be formed for this purpose, could you ilso give me the uame aad post office address of teu or twelve of tbe largest sheep men. I am au experienced wool and hide man, nave l;eu in employ of some of tbe largest firms iu tbat line also in business for myself, I bave some capital, good backing, and if 1 thought I could secure a like interest in Lake county would look into the proposition seriously. Could you advise who buys most of the hides aud wool up your way; do outside buyeia come and buy it, or do store keepers get most of it, if I did not go into wool scouriug propo sition I might start a hide and wool store." , W. F. Burnett. EXPERIMENTS WARNER Turpin and Hart Pump Water From Lakes TO RECLAIM SAGEBRUSH USD If Successful the Scheme Will Prove Valuable to All Valleys of Lake County J. II. Turpin, the Blue-joint ranch er, who, for the past year or so, has been experimenting with so ils and irrigation projects, came over from there last week. Mr. M. R. Hart, who is interested with Mr. Turpin In his venture, returned to Blue-joint with bim Monday. Blue joint is on tbe desert nortb of Flush, where there haa been a rush of settlers the past few months to locate the rich sagebrush lands in tbat vicinity. Mr. Turpin and Mr. Hart are working on a scheme to irrigate a large tract of tbia land. Tbe country ia compara tively level there for miles and miles around, with only a alight decline from the farthest point to a large lake. which contains a permanent body of water, supplied by the overflow from the Warner valley lakes and marshes. It Is estimated tbat to raise the waters of this lake ten feet the highest land can be put nnder water. To accomplish this they have bought a 16 inch pomp, which they will pot in operation and fill several small reser voirs from which the water may be drawn as needed. These reservoirs can be filled fom the lake at any de sired time. These experiments will be watched wib great interest, as in most every valley in Lake county there are one or moie permanent lakes, tbe surface , of which are somewhat lower than the agricultural lands in the valley. If water can be pumped onto the higher ground and stored in npland reser voirs cheaply and successfully, there is no doubt that the irrigation ques tion will soon be solved. There is nothing unreasonable in the claim tbat water can be pumped from a low elevation to a higher one and much higher one. It is only a question of cost, not of practicability nor of effect of water on sagebrush land. There are thousands of acres of sagebrush land in Lake county which today are lying idle, that can be made to pro duce wheat and fruit When Messrs. Turpin and Hart succeed in their venture tbey will bave made them selves famous for having solved the . problem nf the reclamation of sage brush lands. Nature haa supplied tba soil and tbe water and it only remains for man to devise a plan bv which the combination of these two important elements can be effected to bring into cultivation the vast plain now lying idle. Death of Frank Hubbard Wm. Dykemau and sou Walter wore in from the XL ranch Saturday. Base Ball Tournament Fosters are being gotten out auuouuciug the base ball tournament to be held in Lakeview during Fourth ot July week. Tbe Purses will amount to 9500, three purses as follows: First purse 1300, Second 150 aud the third 150. Free for all. Tbe games j will commence July 2, aud coutiuue from day to day owlug to tbe uumber of teams competing for tbe money. it is to be hoped that several teams will come here for this tournament, as we believe if several outside teams come, the amount of tbe purses will be greatly Increased, aud that Lake- view will have given one of the beat base ball touruameuts ever pulled off in a country town. Frank Arthur Hubbard died in Lakeview of erysipelas last Thursday, June 4, 1908, and was buried Satur day. Mr. Hubbard was brouhgt here from Plush a short time ago, suffering from erysipelas, aud was taken to the home of R. A. Paxton, where bodied. He had been working for Jim Turpin, and was au exemplary young man, of good habits and a kindly disposi tion. He was born in Oregon Septem ber 13, 1870, being 31 years, 8 mouths aud 21 days old at the time of his death. He was a member of the Christian Churoh in Hebron, Lane county. One brother, Perry Hubbard was here to atteud the funeral, besides many of his friends. The Examiner extends sympathy to the bereaved brother. Lakeview ia a model town. Every business house, except tbe eating bouses, are closed all day Sunday, Death of William Egan Tuesday morning marked the de parture from this world of care of anotner old settler when William Egan breathed his last. He had been sick due a tew any, Buttering from a severe cold which, assisted by old age, ended tbe life work of oue of Lake county's respected and honored citizens. Mr. Egau was 71 years of age. He leaves a wife to mourn his departure. Of bis lifo we kuow little, but we do know that he was a good aud honest man, ready at all times to help the distressed, quiet, unassuming, and believed that when his own affairs were well attended to bis duty was done. Ho was uo meddler. He bad a peoular way ot extracting from this world tbe pleasures necessary to every life. Whatever he did wns honorable. The Fuuoral was held at the M. E. Cburoh by pastor Armstrong Wednes day, June 10, i908, and tbe remains laid to rest iu tbe 1. O. O.F. cemetery. Sunday Closing Last Sunday was the first "dry " day in Lakeview in the history of this town. Tbe fact that the move was voluntary on tbe part of the saloon men is very commendable. Tbe saloon men held a meeting after tbe election and agreed tbat, since so mauy people were opposed to the saloons, although not in sufficient numbers to "diy" tbe town or county, tbey would close their saloons at 1 o'clock A. M. and all day Sunday. The new regime went into effect Saturday night and not a saloon in tbe town was open, and their curtains were pulled back as proor of the good faith of tbe move nieut. This movement will do much to suppress the evil effects of the open saloon, and from now on every provis ion of tbe law regarding the liquor ' traffic will be complied with. Since tbe saloon meu themselves bave volunteered to do tbls there is no doubt about their sincerity. Born In Lakeview Oregon June 5 1908 to tbe wife ot Walter Paxton a daughter. P. M.
