When tbe automobile was uew horsemen railed at It, aud protested against glviug it the use or city streets. Argumouts. innumerable were publish ed to its discredit, and it was uooused of murder, of frightening horses, of ruining livery stable keepers, ami of generally upsetting existing condi tions, it was abused aud reviled, aud , taxed, aud in some countries oueroua restraining laws were passed against it. Now the fight bus shifted aud Lon donj Hiiloists say that the horse must go. it. They urge against it the claim that disease is bred because of tbe nuisance created by thousands of draft and carriaga horses traversing the streets each day; that an unjust tax Is Imposed upon all tor street cleaning, aud that another financial burden is traceable to It In road building, as concrete foundations lllllkl MMV ( .of M .

Ho QUEEN WILHELMINA HAS A DAUGHTER QUEEN WILHELMINA The wish for an heir to the throne has long been uppermost In tha minds of the people of Holland, but several times when the royal guards stood by tbelr guns ready to thunder the glad news from the palace the hope of the people were dashed to earth. Queen Wllbelmlna probably enjoys more sin cere affection on tbe part of her subjects thaa any other ruler In Europe. She is now twenty -nine years of age.

Fred J., Bowman, Publisher of Lake Co. Examiner Lakeview. Oregon: Dear Sir: In your paper of March 11 , 1909, on tbe flint page there is an article ot several columns telling of the purchase of a large tract of land by tbe Oregon Valley Land Cootu pany. From this article 1 quota the following: "In tbe purchase of this splendid property the Oregon Valley Land Company has more than kept its faitb with its contract holders. It has shown its honesty of purpose by gir nig to those woo cava invested, an Interest '.d this great property which at lowest estimate is full worth half million dollars It makes every contract twice as valci"ble as it waa before and this too without one cent of added cost to the aha e holders." There are Over 120 of these Contract owned here Id Rochester and many of the holders read our paper with a great deal of interest. Here is some thing we do not understand. Why should this company spend ao much money to Increase the value of these holdings of tbe share holders? How Is each contrat to be made twioe aa valuable? Are we to get twice as much land? Is tbe land to have a better location or Is it to be twice aa pioductive? just what does tbia company expect to do with the land it has just pur- based? These are some ot the questions that we are not able to answer ' and we sbou d be glad to have them answered through the columns of your paper. V ery truly yours, M. L, MEUCEK. Iu the write up of tha purchase of the Heryford estate by President Martin, ot tbe O V . L. Co, we sup posed that we had made the matter perfeotly clear to our readers, that the 40.000 acres ot the choicest laud In Lake county were added to those of Tbe Military Roud Grant, all of which were to be distributed to the contract hoiJers. In making this purchase it was tha purpose aud is still, to increase the number of valuable irrigated 10-aore tracts iu this Uoose Lake, aud other valleys, aud to tuorease the acreage lu noma of tbe graziug tracts but in so doing the number of ooutraots re mained uuohanged. Tbe company did not have to do this, because, before tha Heryford purchase, its oontvact holders were mnni.it the stockholdi s to retirement them n the way of invinnf iga' ion of the irriit'itimi work done by tho land cotnpa-iy, the divini- n and 'piality of the land, etc., before the auction. Mr. liartcher wai thus p.;t forward an a candl lae and hU candidacv wil 1 be piinhe 1 all nl'init the line, lie is one of the heat informe I men in this part of ttm country regarding this bitf deal, and ben idea will tnun move to Lakeview to make bis h mm riuht at tbe neat nf event where he t an look out constantly for the welfare of the stockholders be represents. It is hopd that he will bo ele,-te I bv the 1 l.UOO contract' holders of this im portant place, as he in in every way worthy and well qualified and bis reports would be absolutely reilable. WOOL CLIP BRINGS GOOD PRICES During tbe past week there has been enniderab e contracting of wool in this section, at prices ranging from 1(5 to 2X1 cents and over per pound. Many of the larger sheep owners disposed of tbeir wool clips in this manner, as tbe prices were satisfac tory. J. Frankl representing J. Kosland Co; and V. L. Snelling represent ing HallonrelL Jones it Donald, both Boston houses, were tbe principal purchasers. C. J. Moss Sc. Co. and Findley St Co of San Francisco, and Boston were also represented and secured some tine clips. Tbe good prices and fine weather permitting a large increase of lambs is a pleasing thing for sheep owiers, and adds greatly to the wealth and prosperity of Lake county. A lady in Bellville, Kaosa, requests that we publish a list of prices on goods on sale in town. Tbe prices on groceries iange tbe same as in other portions of the country, with freight added. Many things are no higher in price here tban where irater trans portation pievails. Heavy goods, of course, cost more. But, the product of tbe farm, garden and poultry ranch rule higher. . 30 that evens things op. The Bonauza Bulletin says Chaa. Lambert has been having his coaches overhauled and newly painted aod will put them on tbe road between Klamath Falls and Bly Saturday. They are eight passenger coaches and be wil use four horse stock during the summer. getting a square deal, and were get ting full value and more for tha money invested. Bat, lo turniag this great and valuable ranch into the distribution. President Martin and bis associates simply showed tbeir honesty of purpose when they did more than a strict letter of tbeir con tract calld for. The result is that the contract holders get mora ebanoea to secure a desirable tract of ft?U or farming laud thaa thsy did bee ore this splen did acreage ?aa added to the boldioga to be distributed among them, while tbe acreage of the graziutl tracts is increased, and the comber of con tracts is the same, thereby ad'tloa to tbe value of all such contracts with out cost to tbe holders. , WORKTlNSON IRRIGATION CANALS The Oregon Valley Laud Co. id now ready to begin the construction work on irrigation canals and are open for bids for such work.
