Be A Booster It Is always the oasa that the fes tive knocker is Jobnnle-uu-the-Bpot wheoevei be happnna to come in contact with something he does not understand For instance Lakeview ia now gaining niuoh notoriety on account ot the number of automo bile owned by her people. The wiseaores at onoe turn to tbe tax roll and not finding them asseared get biy with their hammers, not reallz". ing that but few automobiles wer owned in the county on Maron 1, 1910, the data upon which assessments were made. Binoa that time probab ly 40 autoa have been purohased.and it lathe number now owned upon whloh oar reputation la gained instead of tbe number owned a year ago. Atten tion was called by tbe Examiner to this faot several weeks since. But, then, If the knockers oan't Qnd one thing they will another, so it might aa well be automobiles as anything else. , N.-C.-O. GETS BUSY the proposed station. The a .. t. . a. i r i . length JlMX) fet, and containing approximately i!T acres, lie proud a to Dure the patteoeer depot faotug too street leadlog to the town with a liuall park and law a to the south, while the warehouse aod freight yard would be to ttie uotth. The tracks will be to the want of tbe de pot, while tbe oil car a pur will ha at line f limine norm enu or lot jraa. only with the peopls of Lakevlew hut aUo with every one along the en tire Hue, and to that end would make concessions ho far aa practic able whenever necessary. Farmer and utbera along tbe eat elde of the lake are now telng ap proached for a right of way and It la evident that Mr. Oliver ia dem ons of having a choice ot two routes when it conies to the actual construe tiou of hla road. It is understood that little difficulty haa thua far beeu experienced in securing right of way to within some six or eight mllea of Lakeview, Bud it is thought tuut none of tbe fartuera will place any eerlouH obataolea In the way of building the road from that point ou. It ia uot likely that tbe deUnlte location of the road will l a made far several mouths, and until that time all of ua oau hare a guess coming us to which side .of the lake tbe road will be built. To an Examiner representative Mr. Oliver stated that there were so many local ooudltiooa to oonteud with that it wax impossible to give Buy definite Information concerning the work now iu progress, but from L'ls re marks it wan gleaned that the tl ret railroad atatlou In (loose Lake Val ey would bo uiar the south end of the lake and would be ready for business early iu June, or just as soon as the roadbed boon me settled and would permit of the operation of trains. WblU it la possible that trains willbe running into Lakeview a year beuoe, yet If tbe road reaches tbe state line by next Fall, which seem likely, It will be highly satisfactory to ib people of this section. Should tbe road come up on the east aide it will mean a distance of but 15 mllea to tbe terminus and if on the west aide but alx miles further. While Mr. Oliver did not suggest a bonus, subsidy, free depot grounds or anything of the aort, yet it la not to be supposed that any offer Lake tIiw might make to secure tbe early completion of the road would aom reoelve proper consideration, la fact Mr. Oliver in reply to a sugges tion along that Una stated that if oui reople bad any offer to make or desired any information regarding tbe purposes of the company in ex tending their line to Lakevelw Gen eral Manager Dunaway would no doubt bo pleased to oonsult with them.

HOMESTEAD PROOFS NOT SATISFACTORY Fail to Comply With Resi dence Clause Required by Department During the past few weeks quite a number of homestead commutation proof have bteo rejected by the otfliais of th U. S. Land Office cause of the length ot residence quired by tbe Department being complied with. The latest be-re-not re- gulations are to tbe effect that com mutation proof may be made where there baa been at least fourteen month actual and substantially continuous residence, accompanied by improvements and cultivation, immediately prior to the application to submit proof. Nearly all ot the applications to S'lhuiit proof were made iu about a fear after residence had been established, the eutrymea presumably acting ou the theory that the 11 months resilience clause woulu be complied with at the time proof was submitted. Tbe rejection of tbe proof does not in any way effect the title of tbe entryman to his claim. 11a cu im mediately make application to sub mit commutation proof the second time if ba sees so tit. When appll- I cations are made', to submit proof tbe .local officials have no way of as certaining when actual residence was made by the entryman as it is not at all unusual for claimant to make settlement prior to the tiling of their applications. , therefore especially oonoerned In tbe welfare ot its patrons and desires the good will of - all tne people, and to secure tbe same Is willing to meet them more than half Jway.

The outstand ing featurea of President Taft's mes sage, sent to Congreis today, are these: 2 lie declares it is time jto stop le Mating with refereoce to regulation of corporations aod to witnjs rhe effect cf a vigorous execution of the Ws alrtady on tbe statute books. Tba exact limitation upon I Uhiness methods imposed by law will doubt less ba made clearer by pending declsiaons of tbe supreme court. Just at tbi time tbe president say be bellve tbe activitle of tbe government in accordance to. the law should be directed toward econ omy of administration, tbe enlarge ment of opportunities for foreign trade.tbe tuilding up of home indus try and tbe etrengtbening of tbe confi dence of capital in Jdomestio invest ment. Mr. Taft reenmmands strongly rome form of ship subsidy on aoy of tba schedules of tbe fayna la. v and Mr. Taft says he will not reoommend any tariff legislation until the new coogret convenes In December, 1911. lie urges that the tariff board b made permanent and that all future revisions be made schedule by sche dule. 11 vigorously opposes any general revisioo. Tbe Panama canal shold be foitlfl ed. An appropriation of 119,000,000 is recommended for this purpose. There must be no more "pork bar rel" methods in river and harbor and building bills. Tne latter should be bassd npon tbe report of a com mittee of experts. In tbe past, con gress has -appropriated too much for THE PROTECT GAME Shorter Open Season Rec ommended for Both Fish and Birds After attending the meeting Mon day evening of tbe Uoose Lake Gun Club one is impressed witn the diffi culties attending tbe law makers in framing a game law in any way satisfactory to any portion of the state. There were about a dozen members present and aoout ninety eleven different opinions expressed as to the begining of the open and closed seasons. This little'differenoa arose'by reason of tbe fact that scaicoly any two were agreed as to whn it should be lawful to flsb, kill sagebon, water fowl or deer. Eepreseutaiive-elect Thompson was present aud after a general discussion, it was decided that ha be requestsd to obtain if posshle an open season tor trout Ushinn from July 1 to Deoember 1, for snnehoa duriug trio months of July and ugust, I r waterfowl from September 1 to March 8, and for deer tbe preseut law was deemed satisfactory. It was also suggested that a small tag of some sort would be muoh more convenient and satisfactory than tbe present requirement of having the license itself with you when hunting. This waa one thing that all members were agreed npon, as a tag attached to the cloth ing in some way would be muoh more easily kept than a pieoe ot !paper. The slub also passed a set of by laws by whloh it will be controlled in the future. The Klamath Cbronlole Is to be changed from an evening to mora ing publication, with full Assooiated Press dispatches. While .the news paper Mela over there is apparently more that, full, yet a morning paper with dlepatohea that would make regular oonneotton with all outgoing mails snonld oertalnlf work op a gee eatoUe olrooiatioa. VOTE TO THAT EFFECT WAS UNAMINOUS Every Share of Stock Is Represented at Meeting Held at Reno, Monday, Which Takes Im portant and Decisive Action Keno, Nev., Dec. 13. At a meeting of the stockholders of the N.-C.-O. railroad, held Monday afternoon, it was voted to extend the road immediately to Lakeview, Oregon, and eventually to make the terminus of the road at The Dalles, Oregon. This will make the road 500 miles in length. There are now 184 miles of the road in operation. Every share of stock in the company was represented at the meeting. General Manager Dunway voted the shares owned by the stockholders residing in the East. ,uwuTr,vvvvvvv above announcement In oon- buildlng not needed, and not nection with tbe recent visit of Geo. enoogb for building purposes badly 8.

The new vessels and aosilary ves sels are recommended for the navy. Tbe president recommends that coal phosphate and oil land and water power sites be disposed of in tbe future by leasing. Estimates of government expend tureB for tbe next tlscal year have been out to 1630,990,133.22, which is 52,96i,t87..'i0 lesa than tbe actual appropriations for the current year, Tbe estimated receipts for tbe next year are $680,000,000. Tbe president urges tbe extension of the civil service 'principle to the diplomatic and consular corps, and the acquisition by tbe government of residences and offices tor its diplomatic offioers. Some criticism of the Payne tariff act are just, says tbe president, but more are unfound ed. Tbero should be more officers of the ,rarmy. The engineer corps should pe increased by sixty. Tbe fortifications at Ccrregidor is land, Manila Day, and at JPearl liar bor, Hawaii, should becarred to early completion. Regarding tbe Panama canal tbe president says: "Tbe progress of the work is most satisfactory. It will be completed well within tbe time set, January 1, 1915, and within tbe estimated cost Concluded on Sth piige, Arthur-Howard Kaluatti Herald : Wednesday niaht at 9 o'clock Rev. G. 11.

The ceremony was performed at the MethodUt ohuroh and was witnesed only by the relatives of tbe contract ing parties. The young couple will leave for California where they will remain for several weeks. Only the intimate friends of the contracting parties were aware tba: the wedding- was to take plaoe at this time although it ws the gener al supposition that auoh result wonld likely occur ere long. Both are well known in Lakeview and whan they return here there will sure be something doing.
