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."

Dry an Is Hi Name
There Is a man sbomewbere down East
And liryan Is bis name,
He prints a paper every week
To boost bia little game.
He's on tbe go from morn till night,
He visits every town.
lie works bis month and paws tbe air
And acts just like a clown.
He tells the Deople be is IT.
And repeats it o'er and o'er
Till every one is growing sick
At such a monstrous bore.
He fames end foams about tbe banks
Until bis face grows red
He'll never stop his foolish talk
Till aftr be la dead.
The trusts he'd bust (by woid of
mouth)
The tariff, too, he'd smash.
He'd wipe tbe country free of graft
Much quicker than a flash.
The "Pblllipinos," too, he'd free
And torn them out to graze,
Its wonderful what all he'd do,
If he eould have his ways
For la'briog men he'd bnild a home
And give them bread to eat,
He'd buy the finest shoes on earth
To put npon their feet.
He'd plant a vineyard 'round their
b-jnse
And lilacs by their door.
He'd sire them apples, ripe, to eat,
mat never naa a core.
HVd kits the babe and praise their
boys;
Tbe girls he'd swear were irrand.
He'd tell the mother that she had
Tbe one man in tbe land.
Tbe only thing be asks for this
(Wbicb shows he's got bis gall)
That every mother's son of us
Just vote for bim this Fall
Now don't be fooled by such hot air
Wben comes election dav:
Just mark your ticket 'neath the flag
ana vow some otner way.

Mr. Editor:
1 am glad tbe voters of Lake
County passed two of tbe very best
referendum measures, changing the
time of State elections, and the
University bill. 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 .

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." ,

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.
