In tbe blight of development iu aud about Lakeview, tbe past week it is pretty certaiu that the U. S.

Most assuredly not. The fact of thj matter is tbat Lake view is lu a class from which big cities grow, aud it la now aud al ways will ba Tbe Metropolis of tbia Great Inland Kmpire. For these and many other good and soffioteut reasoua the laud office will retnalu iu Lakeview, in spite of the efforts of the Klamath Bankers, who desire some ot Uncle Sam's money in tbeir raults. And tbe latter la all tbat there Is to the clamor for removal of tbe land office from Lakeview. Chas. A.

I A number ot the prouiiueut men of tbe towu met tbe gentlemen, aud latter a full and frank discussion of , tbe general railroad situation, and of i the different lines beading this way i Mr. Duoaway desired to know bow tbe public here 'et toward bis line. He was assured tbat what we most de sired wai a railroad, aud tuat until we got one tbat stagnation of the re gion would be tba only condition. Satisfied oc tbat score t'e nest ' query waa as to the cost of ngbt ot ' way, ud tbe valley Would it be ao '. hiQ as to compel tbe company to i come up on the west side ot tue lake? : President Shirk, ot tbe ( Board of , Trade tbeieupon gave it as his opiu ; ion tbat. wbile iaditfereuce to tie ; comiug ot a railroad up to tbe preseut year was quite prooouuc?d, matters 'are now changed ao tuat tbe early i building of a road would De welcomed, and be did not imagiue terious ob stacles would be placed iu tbe way of railroad men wbo really meant busi ness.. At this juncture Mr. Duuaway said: ''Well, 1 do not know as there should longer beany secrecy as to our ioteutions. I will say Iran Id tuat it is our purpose to at ouoe begiu toe exteusiou of our lina tj utiaeid.

"The fact that ottier lines may also come here will not iu the least deter I us from our determination to build j to your little city. Tbe management ! bave ample funds, uat only to con struct extensions from here to wbern we choose. " In regard to the enquiry as to whether tbe N. C. (). was to betiaus ferred to others. Air Duauwav said such was not the case, aud tbat it was thi purpose of tue cumpajy t oroad-guage tbe line, aud tbat all its uew extensions would be of stand-ard-guaite. 1'be geu'.lonjau siii tbat be would sbo.'tly return to Lakeview, and wculd oonfer further with our people aa to matters tbat concern tbem aud tbe company. Tbis surely is good news for Lake view, aud means more for tbis town than now appears on tbe surface. In order to facilitate matters, tbe glad baud snould be given tbe rail road people All tbey ask is tair treatment. And tbe peeople between here aud Alturas bave it in tbeir own bands to say which side of the lake the road shall approach Lak view in its northern extension to a seaport ou the Columbia river. There are good arguments for taking either side, though It is conceded that the popu lation aud terming resources are on tbe east side coupled with somewhat more expeuusive construction work than would be iuourred ou tbe west aide. It means much to be placed on the railroad uiao of tbe nation, aud we hope tbat tbe N. C. O. management will exteud tbeir toad to Lakeview. Tbe Examiner believes it voices the sentiment of Lakeview people, aud also ot the whole of Lake couuty, generally In saying tbat the road will be accorded a bearty welcome Philadelpnbia, Aug J. J.
