This la the first time that so many quill-drivers have been discussed in relation with a Congressional nom ination in many years, aud the re ports may give Repiesentavtive llaw- ley some uneasiness, as there are many newspaprea in the First Dis trict who may advance catididatee against him.

Apropo of the uiauy coujectures relative to the railroad in Lake county, it is well to observe tbat the Fandango Lumber company, operat ing a saw mill ou Lasson creek at the lower eud of Goose Luke valley, is getting out a quauity of railroad ties. The company refuses to give the name or the ruilroad which let the contract. The nearest railroad or the Fan daugo mill is at Alturaa, Cal., about .10 miles distant the N-C-O better knowu as the "Narrow Gauge." As the N-C-O will build at least to the Oregon Hue, passing the saw mill on the route, it is thought that itmay have something to do with the activi ty, but if it be true tbat 600,000 ties , are to b cut r waugo rm. iN-O-O in not the Una tbat has let to oontraot. of Trade U In Line agi Iculturul t-roiJuclH, and recotn mended and moved that a apeciul dittplay be gotten up to be exhibited iu th X-C-O Statiou at Ileno if the permission of the compiuy could be obtained.

Any young man who will go to work w ith the determination to secure quarter auction or land can do so. There are countless opportunities for the young man who is ready and will log to work. Five year's work on a farm at tha present wages will more than secure the ownership of a quarter sectloo or good land. Tbat does not meaa that a farm can ie bought outright fur $15,000, but it does uean that three years' crops will pay the difference. Many men in the loland Empir have bought land with money borrowed at 10 per cent and made a success. There can be nu question of the wisdom of going back to the farm. The man who owns a piece of productive land is independ ent beyond all others; and if bis children are wise in their generation they will stick to the old farm. 2,186,442 ACRES OF LAND WITHDRAWN 46,431 Acres of Public Domain are Restored to Settlement WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.

The proposition brought out a laige vote of property owLers, and yet there were only four vott-s recorded that were uafavorabln. Iu the over whelming majority it is now likely that tb ise four who were not in favor of giving the Lakeview cbillrea the best of eiucational facilities feel somewhat lonesome. It of course will take some time to assemble the material for so large a building situated as we are so far from railroads and sources or supply But the matter in detail and es sentials is in the bande ot competent men. whose deeds or the past are a guarranty or the best that can Da dona io providing a fcaBdsome, roomy, convenient and well-appointed High School ror Lakeview. The question now before the peo ple, which is to be voted opon ao soon as available and desirable sites can be chosen and seoured, is wbara the School shall be located, so as to beat accomodate the st"denta or the town, now and prospective. J Inasmqcb as this school is being builded ror futurity, a site sboald be chosen sufficiently large and central ly located so jUhat.it could be parked, and made a pleasure resort by all oui people when not devoted to school ose, particularly tbe summer months.

Tbe Examiner baa. always been proud of Lakeview and its people, and we now know tbat civic pride ia a factor tbat will cause them to come forward willingly when necessary te do something for tbe good of Lake view.
