TOURNAMENT
Lakeview is Getting
Ready to Have a Big
Time The Fourth
A very eotbostastio meeting of
business men was beld in tbe Board
of Trade Rooms Friday evening, when
it waa decided tc celebraate the
Fourth this year in a rousing man
oer. '
In addition of tbe usual 1 anner of
conducting sucb celebrations, there
will be a big Baeeball Tournament
Tbe playing Ibis year will be fair
and every courtesy will pe paid vitdt
ing clubs and all given a square deal.
So far as Lakeview is concerntd
do otalde players will be allowed to
play with our team this year. We
feel 'but we bave bone talent in that
lne good euougi aud strong enough
without oustide help, and if we lose
it will be because tbe visitiua teams
are better men.
Tbe purse is large enough t attract
outv.de clubs, which is tbe sum of II,
GOO. The first prize Is 91,000; tbe se
coud ?)O0 aud tne third $200.
All ball teame are coridally invited
to try for these prizes.
Tbe committee on Program, and
advertising are Lee lieall, Jos. Lane,

It ia hoped that there ill b a big
attendance from outside d iota and
Lakeview will surely do its beat to
eutertain sucb visitors.

as the ... ill interests are cuuceroeJ,
will be officially made public witbia
the ui.mth.
Wbetber the Ui'l Interest art to
conar ct an east an J west line tbrjugn
Ureuon, is one ot tbe questions Louis
W. ii ill promised will soon lie an
swered. Not tbe least impurtaut
nt M.. Hill's statement was nis dis
cussion of the great publicity ork.
the Hill lines are tn carry on fur
Oregon While bis announcement
is out new. jir Hill went Int'a details
concerning tbe exploitation plana
from wbich this state is to beuetJt.
He said :
"Uur railroads pioneer aeitlemeot
of any state In wbicb we are located.
At present to population of Oregon
is in tbe cities and along tbe rivers.
Wbai is needed ia settlement of the
luterior lands. Yo know tbat yon
bave homes tor cauy thousands of
people on some of tbe moat fertile
laud in tbe world. 1 know it also,
but tbe trouble is that thj people wt
are land crazy in tbe East do not
know it. We will try to get all local
ities liued up with ns in reaching tbe
people who want to oome to tbe west.
"We will establish a number of
shows in fbilaaelobia Boston, Chi
cago aod otber prominent tow a
throughout tbe Kat. Tbe enows will
be' made op of Oregon exhibit aud
wiil be in the bands of reliable men
wbo will Hat euquiiiea All tbe
prominect state fairs in tbe East will
be visited by an Oregon ebow. At ail
of tbem we wiil distribute literature
tbat is authentic and behind which
tbe credit of the (Sreat Northern wiil
stand. There wiil be no takers or
swindlers in tbe crowd.
"Then in tbe fall of tbe yest 1 want
to send out an exibbltiun car. filled
witn trnit and grama from this state,
it will be billed all along tbe Erie
railroad and tbe route of tbe Burling
ton, through the thickly populated
sections, it will be (quipped with
moving picture machine, lantern
elides. Ou arrival in any town, tbe
largest ball will be securd and a
lecture on Oregon furnished all wbo
mil attend. Tbe pepole will be in
vited to tbe car and its four attend
ants will see to it tbat tbey are sup
plied with literature suitable to an
!e' their inquiries.
"To all this 1 want an organiza
tion in Oregon, and am to select toe
men myself during tbe future sum
mer. I waut "live ones" but relia
ble citizens who are interested in our
development plans, so that when I
wire them to get things going tn a
certain direction tbey will not hesi
tate, hut will do it.
"In brief that ia our plan to popu
late Oregon. It worked so well in
Moutaua tbat we are now receiving
4000 iuquiriea about that state "at our
St. Paul office every day. Settl.ra

NARROW GUAGE BE
GINS CONSTRUCTION
Tbe loug-beralded exteuaion of tne
N U C ia at last uuiierway. A grad
ing crew be nan operations out ot Al
turns Mouday.
Nothing bas been given cut by tbe
compauy as to its infectious, but it
would seem good policy under exist
ing conditions for it to extend tu
Lakeview at the earliest possible mo
ment. It Is ku iwu, bowevei, that
tb road now bas ties aud rails in its
Alturaa ysids to exteud the line 30 or
more miles. That would place it at
Sugai Loaf or Palmer mountain, in
tbe v oinity of Atlantis . Such a
mo'6, even, would give it command
fur the - preseut of the trade of Lake
view aud also of Surprise valley.
. Tbe fact tbut officials hUh in the
affairs lu tbe company are known to
be figuring upon a prominent and de
sirable site for a hotel lo Lakevlew
may yet develop into something tang
ii-il e. aud might in tbat eveut hasten,
tbe cowpetion of tbe extension of tbia
towu.
One tbina is certain, and tbat ia
tbat Lakeview needs the railroad and
needs it worse than auy other town ia
tbe Uulon With it this towu would
grow by leaps and bounds, and Boon
would become one of the most im
portant towns in Oregon; and with
out such convenience our growth
