( Concluded from Pirst Page ) Time Now One for lie Iter ThiiigM But, by over-stockiug tbe range, the feed once so bountiful bas beeu large ly fed off. and uow tbe time bas come for a cbauge. Tbe cbauge bas been gradual. 1 remember coming to tbis town six years ago. You just tben bad bad a tire. Tbe town was not so large as it is now. At that time there were none of tbe fine brick blocks that now line your streets. But, tbe changes 1 note uow will be still great er ii; Hid years to come, aud now Dear i nd. The presence of Mr. Martin i i an evidence of big improve ments for both town and country. Tbe advertising be is doing, and tbe work he is now engaged in, will sure ly draw n a ly people here. II is plan of selling one of these tracts and a lot for f-i-'O is a wiuuiugone. 1 will take one myself. It is an opportunity not often met and 1 know 1 shall not lose, bit will gain instead by tbe invest rrent W lat a Tenderfoot lid "Iu tbis connection I am reminded of a transaction that recently occurr ed iu Alturas. There was an Irish man wtro bad a Hue tract of 40 acres of alfalfa within tbe corporate limits ot tbe towu. For 20 years be bad been tryiug to sell that land, and ! to tbe present time there has been no found no takers. Fiually a man and j inducement for people to locate here, bis w ile came out of the somew here ; Our iuterests were mostly iu the way aud cpied that tract. He ilked it of stock growinu. iu this endeavor and said to bis wife: 1 wi'l bunt up loot a few have beeu successful. Our tbe owner aud offer him $0000 for the! county records show that last year tract His wife said: I don't believe I the income from stock-growing any man would be so foolish as to sell ! amounted to more than i'Sit) for each for that price. Tbe man said: 1 will Uhd, woman aud child iu tbe county, try to buy anybow. Meanwhile the which included tbe money received irishman learned there was a land ! from cattle, horses, sheep aud wool. seeker iu town. "Aba, me bye, I'll unlo.ti ou that poor diril!" So be bunted tbe mau up. Tbe borne seeker asked tbe price. "Well," says be, "I hive tbe 40 acres, twelve cows, a fwe pratsie, a sack of flour, a sack of sugar, wan sow, and sivin foine pigs, Bud yer can bov the lot fer jist $2,100. "I'll give you an eveu f2,000", said tbe buyer. "I'll nut take it," said tbe Irishman. "Very well, I'll give you 2,100. Aud tbe Irishman told of bow he fixed the teuder foot. Well tbe chuckle-headed sucker, went to work and platted that tract into town lots, aud bas sold -ver 812,000 worth and still bas 70 choice lots, on which be probably will realize a still greater sum. "Tbe same thing will happen bere, aud elsewhere iu this Great Inland Fmpire. Tbe opportunity for money making, lots of it, is fctaring you in tbe face ou every band. Some one will be sure to reap tbe harvest. "For that reason it will pay you to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr Martin in tbis march of improvement now being ptinbed forward, and to aid biui in the enterprise by your good will, even though you don't take contracts in bis land distribu tion." Mr. Martin At this junction Mr. Martin arose, and said : "I w ish to be understood that I do not claim that 10 acres will be enough for the needs of any one man. It may be that it is, but under our plan, a man can buy any number of con tracts from one up, so as to bold 100 or 200 acres or mere In one group, 01 both, if be so desires. Mr. Trill Mr. Trill Wbs tben called upon by Judge Daly, and said: "1 represent no one special man, or locality but am in tbe Held in tbe in terest of every part of Lake County. It is my purpose to get out an illustrative and descriptive booklet of Lake county and its diversified inter ests. Mucaka aa W ith Authority 4 'I have traveled over every part of Oregon, aud Lave visited every county in tbe state except two. I have been in every town and city of any impoitauce in tbe state. I have also travelled etrnilvely In the state of Washington, idaho.and Mon tana. I must say to you frankly and earnestly, not because 1 am at present in Lake county, hut because I am t hom-st In my convictions, that Lake' County, so fur a its resources ami , dvers'ty of interests Is concerned Is i ahead of anything 1 have wen In the regions 1 have niont ioned. It pososs- es vast anus of the finest of surteul tural lauds, most of it in n slate of nature. F.uough has I mi don In wsy of grau ami fruit production to lemnustrate its worth.

The tiuest ion f-vi r present is how to uet these facts to outsiders, so that thev may hear the glad tid iuk's. and come and establish homes among us. My line of work has satis- tied me that in no other way can greater success lie attaiuel than by means of organizing the business men jand tbo farmers iuto oje compact : elf art inakiutt body, whether it be 0Hlled commercial club, chamber of ! commerce, or aUythinK else m.estive of its aims aud purposes, why? For I the reason that your town is situated in ' rit'hent aruicultural or horticultural sections u the Un'ted ! Spates You possess acr-a, large tracts that are to he divided into small homes, where intensive farming will produce splendid results. The outside world, hnuury for guod land in your good cii.nate, is just beginn ing to learn of these conditions aud id eager for facts, ivery business man and tanner, I a iuformel, is deluged with tetters of enquiry many sucb letters remain unanswered either fn-m lack of time, ur other valid reasons. Such a condition should not be allowed to exist. If there were a chamber of commerce established, and soma good, capable man placed in charge, such letters could be unswered properly and iu telli eutly, aud a vast amount of good doue in this way. It would bring tneu aud money to the county that may now be lost, and go to other localities, who see the advantage of securing cew people. "Sucb organizations, proprely man aged, have made La liraude. Pendle ton, Hood River, aud the Rogue towns what they are, and that, too. in face of tbe fact that none of them possess any superiority of location, climate, or resources over Lakeview, other tbau the one fact of railroad connection, and tbis will le supplied this town in the near future. "In conclusion I will repeat that your best interests will be served aud conserved by tbe organization of a chamber of commerce, wbih with your uuited effort aDd support can not help produciug results that will benefit all." Judo Duly In bis closing remarks Judge Dnly said : "I am gratified to to be able to say that there is every prospect for treat changes in tbis county soou. A His Income for a Few People "I have been a resident for over 20 years, and during all that time noth ing startling bas taken piece. Tbe few hundreds of people we hare here dow came iu gradually. In fact up Probably there is not hd ther county iu tbe L'uion tbat can produce a lik record. . 4ood Country forth' Knergetic "I believe there aie few places, if any, that offer beter opportunities at present for the industriously inclined or tbuee anxious to get on iu the world thau rignt bere in Lake county. If we have been able to produce sucb results as that mentioned from only oue resource, bow much more cau we expect, nbeu our few hundred people shall have growu to :)000 or 4000. who w'll Income interested iu a dive sity ut products. Sujb conditions must give us our coveted railroad. Wbeu we are in a position to take full ad vantage of raining the various pro ducts that, we kuow are adapted to this bection, and for farming of all kinds, 1 sincerely believs we will have oue of the best counties in the world, (applause). "1 am particularly glad tbat a man like Mr. Martin bas taken bold of these lands, and is selling them to aggressive and energetic people. Tbe fact tbat be is placing .'10,000 acres of rich lands under irrigation ttiat are immediately adjacent to this town, bas my earnest approval, and is some thing that involves a splendid future for Lakeview and its people." At tbe close of the remarks of Judge Daly tbe assemblage broke up into small parties when the speeches were discussed and Mr. Martin was pronounced a prince of entertainers. Tbe result was tbat a spirit of good feeling was engendered which must be productive of great good to this community. Sucb meetings, where ideas tbat benefit all are uttered, and a spirit of rancour is absent, bring men out of tb9 selfish condition of mind tbat arises from constant pur suit of tbe almighty dollar are a good thing. Tbe suggestion made by Mr. Trill is a good one and if tbe business men of tbis town and county unite for tbe common purpose of letting tbe outisde world know tbe advantages we possess as a place for a borne, witb good schools, churches, pure water; where farming of all kinds Is a success, and where every variety of fruit, except cilrua or other trop ical varieties, of the flneet quality la produced, which lalxt elTeoletl by the organization of it clmtnb-r of com merce, or eoii:e such body, it is cer tain that it will be as productive of as good results as has similar effort proved in I he case of Hood River, Yakatua, Weuatchce, and other sec tions now known the world over as the region where the II nest quality of fruit is produced They will hear of Lake county later hi n mure pro nuoticed manner. Nature has done everyhing for us. All that is necessitty to briug Lake county to the front, besides the rati os to show all Missouri which embraces j most of the world, that we have the i tiuest of everything up here, and that there is a welcome for all so long us the opportunities 'ast, now lying on every hand and open to all who care to embrace them. It is said "Opportunlti a lly. " Sol they do, but the man who grabs them I beford they raise from the ground, aa was the case of the ruau uieutioued by Judge Cornish, kuows when ! "Opportunity knocks at your door," as she sometimes dues more thau i once, that then is the time to receive the gifts she i ready and willing to bestow. Oppurtuuit ie'a dour is now opeu, wide, iu Lake comity. Dou't delay iu securing a cheap home uow, for they are nearly a thing of .the past iu America, and oue of tbe few (laces where they still are to be bad is right here iu sunuy, fruitful, beautiful Southern Oregon I Tbe conseusuc of opiuiou was that to tbe effect, tbat Mr. Martin was con ceded to be the wizard who is briug iug all these beueUcient chnugea tu Lakeview aud Lake county. It was acknowledged that be is holding wide open the door of Opporl unity for all who care to enter, it might very appropriately be said "That be who hesitates is lost, iu this instance. And Tbe Examiner is gad to state that oue ot the remits of this meeting bas beeu tbe signing of a big u umber of contracts ty Lakeview people, who heretofore had uot beeu alive to the Opportunity offered them right bere. VYlieu sucb a man as Jim Hill and secretary Wilson, say the available laud of productivities is about gone, and that practically all there is left is iu Southern Oregon, with an ever in cieasiug population, it is well for the land-hungry to be ou their metal to secure a few acres before the Door of Opportunity is c'-osed, and tbe Day of tbe Doomsday Book arrives ! f-or Chronic Diarrhoea "While in tbe army in 18U3 1 taken witb chronic diarrhoea," Geo. M. Felton of South Gibson, was says Pa. "1 have since tried many remedies but witbout. auy permuaent relief, un til Mr. A. V.
