While Mr Oliver had previously visited Lakeview, yet it was his first trip out through the valley, and be was greatly surprised at not only the vast amount of tine agricultural land, but also the great amount ot work don) by the O V-L Co. in the way of building canals for tho irrigation of the rioh sagebrush lands. The purpose of Mr Oliver's visit at tbU time was not explaiued, except to tbe effect thnt he desired to post himself in regard to the possibilities ot this sectiou iu the way ot furnish iug tratllo for a railroad, and he gave no intimation as to when the N O O would likely reach Lakevitw How ever, be seemed not ouly surprised but well pleased wtib the situation us be fouud it, and it is not at all improbable something defluite will bb announced as to tb plana of bis road In tbe uear future. The work of the OLV Co la pro gressing nicely aud the finishing touches are now being given to tbe main cauaL la a few days work will corameuce on tbe south canal, whksh will cover the lauos south of Drews creek and on down to the State liue.

Not Only For Present But Ttn Years Hence When the people of this district by pratically unanniiooa consent de cided to erect a blgb sciool building it was conceded that it wooM be mod ern aud up to date in every respect. IJ it the members of tbe school board have reached tbe conclusion that to ha'e the building and grooods up to date will not answer tbe purpose and Dteds of Lakeview as an educational center, and theiefore are nuw planning for what will probably he tbe require ujenls ten years hence. To tbBt end an endeavor is now be ing made to not oul secure a aalta ble site but also to - obtain grounds sufficiently Urge to answer every pur pose, and even in advance of many of the high schools of tbe larger cities and perhaps encroach upon lines which are now being taught in state univer sities and agricultural colleges. It Is tbe intention to not only provide ground, sufficiently large for outdoor ga ies of all kinds, but also of Each extent as to make a study of horticul tural and agricultural methods pos sible. It la also intended to bave depart ments of manual training and domestic science, where lb young men can gain an iostghttotba different trades. while tbe young ladies will bava tbe opportunity of learning bow best to gain a husband by providing well prepared food for bis stomach, and knowing bow to naketbier own wear ing apparel. While several sites have been considered, yet none of those offered met tbe requirements of tbe Board in all particlnrs and at a cost that was not prohibitive with tbe exception of that offered in tbe Sher lock Addition. Two Oflers were sub mitted from the owner.Ohas. E. Shet -lock, through bis agents, W. F. Paiue A Co. Tbe first offer is for one solid block 300 feet by 300 feet, immediately west of G.

Tbe second offer includes tbe above block anJ also another immediately west tbe inii in tbe cauyou, and Mr. Rice re ports that that;difflcuit piece of work as being 75 per cent completed. It is expected that a contract will be let shortly for building tbe ueceasary flumes and ihe E. C. Burney Co. bas takeu a contract for driving 30,000 feet of piling. Tbe pile driver is expected in a few days, and work will be com menced immediately upon its arrival. practically all ot the p ling basal read) been cut. Owing to tbe blgb stage of water, work bas not been tesumed ou tbe lam this spring, but as Boon as tbe water falls sufficeutly that part of tbe work will be started and pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Zack Wbitwortb, oue of tbe well known old timers ot Lake County, has been showing signs of deraug men recently, and Saturday Drs. Hall aud Duly held ao examination to test his eauity. They found that he was s.nely afflicted, and recom mended that he be taken to the asylum t Suleni for treatment. It is expected that his condition will re sooud to proper treatment, and that be will boou regain his usuul normal couditiou. His halluoiuatiju seems to lea' him to suppose thut au effort is being made to poison biro, aud as a consequence hesitates to accept either food or drink. Mr. Whit worth bus a host ot friends through out Lane County, who deeply sympa thize with bitu au sincerely hope that bis allliotiou will prove ot sboit d iratiou. The Board of Trade Las issued a handsomely illustrated folder descrip tive of the resources of Lake couty. iu addftiou to the illustrations aud descriptive matter it contains a map of tbe stite aud attordu much useful Information to tbe iuteudiug settler CALLED FOR HAY 14 price being I32G0. Should tbe latter offer ba acceptel it is expected that tbe streets between tbe two blocks would b vacated, thus glvng a tract of land 4110 feet in width and 920 feet in length, wbicb it la considered would be amplj for all future need. There is sufficient slope to tbe land to I afford ample drainage, and the exca vation for tbe basement would b i used for grading tbe grounds. A special election will be bell May 4tb next to choose a location, and any ou having property suitable for the purpose should communicate wltb ; tbe School Board at once.

GOING SOME Purchases Labor-Saving Machinery Wellknown Shoemaker Prepares To Keep Lake County in the Front Rank Lei 11 usel, the popular boot ani shoe man, as well as the leaier of tbe local Socialist colony, bas just installed aCbampiou sbce manfacturing machine and repairing outfit. It consists of a stitcher, finisher, trimmer, butler and sand paper cachine and is op erated by a two horse, power gaso line engine. The outfit will be a great labor saver, as it will enable Mr. llasel to turn out three times tbe anouut of work that be did under conditions which formerly prevailed in bis shop. The stitcher is used for stitching aud reiuforclug tops of boots and shoes, as well as stitching on solos of new work c.cd half soieing old shoes. Tbe cost of the latter will be tbe same as nailed work , which is $1.10 per pair. The other machinery is also adapted to new aud old work.aua Mr. llasel will now be able to handle expeditiously all work entrusted to him. The cost of the pluut was close to 1 1000, and the necessity of such an out tit U a fair index of the remarkable growth of Lake county.
