Auyone wishing to learn the history of Modoo cau easily acquire desired information by questioning the old pioneers. Mr. Ileuderson Is uovv 8-i aud bis wife 82 years old. Tney came out from Missouri before the railroads were oouatruoted aud the first traiu they ever beheld was the N.-C. ()., wheu it reanhed Alturas some two years ago. Their borne is situated ou the Davis Creek aud there they have reared twelve child Hard Trip .lonus Norln, who together with his wife, arrived homo from California Monday evening, reports a fierce trip over from tho Falls to Uly. They got the full benellt of the big storm Sun day and did not reach Uly until 4 o'clock Monday moriilug. Mr. Norin stutes that there Is about five feet of snow in the mountains about Keno Springs, and that all signs of a road were obliterated by the driving storm. The horses in numerous In stances could not keep In tbe road and when they got off of it would go almost out of sight and have to bu dugout. As a consequence It was necessary to travel very slowly iu order to. get along at all, and the horses were practically all lu when a statlou would be reached.

The oldest of the children living is now sixty years old. Tbe old folks showed their hearty appreciation of their friends and relatives by entertaining about eighty guests with pioneer soigs aud quaint old fashioned speeches. Later re freshments were served, many of the guests orinziug well-tilled lunch bas kets. Another iuteresling feature of tbe evening was tbe fact that there were four generations of tbe ileuderson family present. Afrer an enjoyable evening tbe guests took theii leave hoping Mr. and Mrs. Henderson would still enjoy their present hale and hearty bealth for many years to come, aud bopiug that the democratic party will still be able to have bis support iu a straight party vote iu futuie years as it baa in tho past sixty three years.

WILL HELP BOOST Land Commissioner Curtis Pays Visit to Goose Lake Valley PREPARING FOR COLONIZATION MOVEMENT Secures Data For Literature Boosting Country Tributary to Road Special Efforts Directed to Securing Farmers to Produce Tonnage The first step by the N.-C.-O. towards hastening the development of Goose Lake Valley was taken this week, when a personal visit was made by L. F.Curtis, the newly appointed land commissioner of the railroad company. His visit here at this time certainly indicates that the N.-C.-O. will do much for the territory tributary to its line in the immediate future and Lakeview should just as cer tainly meet it in a spirit of fairness and good will. Mr. Curtis spent several days in Goose Lake Valley during the week. The purpose of his visit was to secure data for the literature to be Inaued by hia company in connection with the colonization j PeoPIe J"et what the conditions are plans recently inaugurated Mr. Cur-1 alon tbe li,ie of our rd- I' per tia Biient Sunday at iNew Pine Creek, 85,1 want 'arming latd, we will be coming on to Lakeview in the even-1 ab,e to tel1 l,Ua iU8t where he can find iiiif. The new- department was only organized February 1, and hence ex cept a general outline the details have not been worked out- However, In conversation with an Examiner rep reaentatlve Mr. Curtis Mated the woik planned by hlu company would do much toward the early development of the tioote Lake Valley, as well aa all other territory tributary to the road, for it wrm tonuage that bis company was after. There are many thousands of acres of tillable land tributary to the N.-C.-O.," aid -Mr. Curtis, "which under existing conditions is not pro ducing any crop whatever, although perhaps furnishing In the aggregate, graziug for a few hundred bead of stock. We propose to go Into the Middle Western States and tell the STATE OF OREGON MAGNET IN EAST Mention of It Attracts Quick Attention Among the Other States Some time since the Chicago Record Herald addressed a letter of Inquiry to the U. S. Land ofllce at Lakeview, relative to lands In this district, and In reply Register Ortou forwarded all information possible. As a result of Mr. Urton's action the following let ter will be found explanatory as well as interesting: Chioago, February 3, 1911. Mr. A. W. Orton, Lakeview, Ore. My Dear Sir: I have your letter of January 11 this mnrning took it a long wnila to get here aud I am sorry that I can not at this time provide you with a clipping of tbe Oregon story you mention, and wbioh baa stirred up soma interest, apparently, in your country. 1 am uuable to send It to you for the !ason that tbe story appeared in Deoember, and tbe papers are kept in tbe storeroom here for thirty days only. It will ba impossible for me to get hold of a Deoember paper of any dale at tnls time. 1 know what tbe story washowevet, and I believe yoc cau obtain a copy of it by addressing Mr. O. II. Wil liams, of the Portland, Oregon, Com mercial Club. Explain to Mr. Wil liams that you are writing him at my request and that 1 was unable, for tbe teason given, to send you tbe clipping you want, Mr. Williams will, 1 urn sure, try to dig it up for you. I sent bim several clippings of the story. Was glad to hear tbat I stirred up some business for you. I bad an idea tbat tbe yarn would start something, as I bave bad occasion to find out Coutluuod ou eighth pago it and at what price, as well as the conditions under which he will bavs to labor. The same Is true of the stockman, the horticulturist, and in fact all classes of people who till the ground. Our methods will be prac tice illy the same as those followed by other railroads, although it will be our particular aim to secure people who will make good. We believe that the day of, the big farms has passed, and therefore will endeavor to secure people who are able and willing to handle small farms of about 80 acres. "At New Pine Creek I learned of one farmer who has raised 70 bushels of barley and 35 bushels of wheat to the acre on land which is considered no better than the average in that sec Continued on eighth pag FORMER RESIDENT OF LAKE PASSES Mrs. Mary Kittredge Dies at Daughter's Home in Ashland Mrs. Mary J.
