F. Dunaway, general mana ger of the Nevad-Clifcrnia-Orcgon Railway after having viit-d Goose Lake Valley. HeinR thua favoruLly imprenind with our resource It la not surprising that he should order con struction work on the Lakeview exten sion pushed as rapidly as ixwiiible. as U Indicated In liU letter to the Hoard of Trade which appears on thin page. As evidence of the fact thut tho N.-C.-O. Ry. la to lc extended to Lake view at tho earlieitt possible moment, the Hall Construction Company thin week started ita outfit down to I'itt Kiver canyon to complete a small sec tion of road led at a point some 10 or 12 milea this side of Alturaa. It was exa cted that other contractor would complete that work, tut there wan too muc h delay, and consequently Superin tendent Hanson hurried the outfit down WAR DECLARED ON HOUSE-FLY PESTj Suggestions as to Proper Method of Abating Nuisance A apecinl bulletin, Issued by the fly lighting committee of the American Civic Association of Washington, D.C., dcclores that "war to the death" should be declared upon the little pests. "Either man must kill the fly or the fly will kill the man." it assert a in bold black headlines. The following "don'ta" and summary of advice are Riven in the bulletin. Don't allow flies in your house. 3Dou't jiermit them near your food, .eccially milk. 2 Don't buy foodstuff where flies are tolerated. Don't have feeding places where the flies can load themselves with ejections from typhoid or dystenteric persons. Don't allow your fruit and confec tions to be exposed to the swarms of flies. Don't let flies crawl over the baby's face and swarm upon the nipple of its nursing bottle. Clean up your premises, inside and out, and then, as much as you ran, see that others do the uamu. Strike at the root of the evil. The housefly breeds in hoisemanure, kitch en offal and the (like. Dispose of these materials in such a way that the house fly cannot propagate. Screen all windows and doors and insist that your grocer, butcher, baker and every one from whom you buy foodstuffs does the same. There is more in a well screened house than in many doctor's visit. After you have cleaned up your own premises inspect the neighbor hood for fly-breeding places. Call the attention of the owner to them, and if he does not remove them, complain to the Board of Health. Road Improvements The road between town and Warner Canyon is now being put In first-class condition, and the road scrnpers are at present busy north of the cemetery. This thoroughfare Is a much traveled one, and the fact that it is being fixed up will be thoroughly appreciated by all who have occasion to use it. so that traina could b operated into Goose Lake Valley at an early date. A a tat Ion will he established at the Pairs raia-h. few milea aouth of Davia Creek, where auppliea for con tractors will l5 detivercl, aa well a freight in carload lota for merchanta and business men. It la expected to have traina in operation within 30 days, and while thia will not quite meet Chief Engineer Oliver'a expectations, yet weather conditions of the past sev eral weeks would knock prophesies of almost tiny nature into a cocked hat, as it were. J. P. Hansen, suerintendent of con struction for tho N.-C.-O., stated to an Kxaminer representative that he ex acted to commence construction work at this end of the line just aa soon as tiie engineering department had the necessary data prepared, which he presumed would be in the very near future. Chief Engineer Oliver is very busy with the work recently let, and it will probably be several days before he will be ready to take up tho work at this end of the line. LIVELY TIMES AT NEW N.-LVO, DEPOT Scenes Likely to Be Dupll- cated Regularly In Near Future The Ladies Aid Society of the Me thodist Church pleased a very large audience Friday evening when they rendered a play entitled "Scenes at the Union Depot." Every seat in the house was sold, the reserved ones be ing disposed of early in the afternoon. Tho various scenes presented were uni quo and represented some which one would be liable to see in any railroad depot. The parts 'were taken by the memlx'rs of the church and it is need less to say that all were well present ed. Among those who took part were Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Keene, Mr. and Mrs, Amick, Mr. and Mrs. G. Angstead. Mr. and Mrs, II. Angstead, Mrs. T. II. Cloud, Mrs. J. C. Higlow. Mrs. W. R. Bernard, Mrs. Klden Woodcock, Mrs.'j. N. Watson, tho Misses Vernon. Mnyfield, Stork man. Bosworth. McVey, Vandervort, Fisher, WilliU. Corbett. Snclling, and Swenson. and Messrs. Wire, Isenhart. C. Dykeinan, Archer, J. Burgess. Cunnon, W. Dykeman, J. C. Burgess. II. Cannon, Bunting. Brattain. Bailey, Beall, Campbell. Striplin, and G. Ang stead. The entertainment netted $115 clear, which was very pleasing to the society. Creditable to Lake view One of the most extensive advertis ers, If not the largest on the Pacific Coast, writes as follows to the Ex aminer : . "In connection with this advertise ment, permit me to compliment you on the composition. It is one of the neat est ads. that has appeared in any of the publications in which we adver tise." And so it goes all along the line. Lakeview can boast of the best equip ed country newspaper office in the State, and the fact thatit is such is due solely to the liberal patronage re ceived from the people themselves. With its new press the Examiner ran execute a class of job work that ia not excelled (n the large cities, the press being equipped with the latest im provements for printing half tones and color work. WEED ASTONISHES SANFRANCISCO Hauled Up By Police For Speeding His New Franklin Abner Weed, founder of the metrop olis of Siskyou county which bears hit name, and the real thing in "live wires," has been arrested in San Fran cisco for failing to comply in some way with auto regulation!'. We vr9 informed that when Abner was booked for the alleged (infraction of the law, an old charge of speeding was br night to light, and that he will Jhave to an swer both charges. If we know Dad Weed, he will answer them, all right, and in well-chosen . worda. too, that won't sound likclchildish prattle. He has demanded a jury trial, and it looks as if the police department of the Naughty City was in trouble, and not Dad at all. The incident has swelled ua up a bit. Think of it! A citirt." of Weed arrest ed in San Francisco for 'speeding I Guess that's going some, eh? There isn't another town in Siskyou county that.can produce a man who can "go" fast enough to even attract attention in Tat Calhoun's old village by the Golden Gate. Oh I We're on the map.

Dear Sir: 1 hare returned after a very satisfactory trip of inspection over the lines and the projected extension to Lakeview. I de sire at this time to thank you. and through you the people of Lakeview and vlcioity, for their rordlul reception and hearty co-opfrntion for the advancement of our mutual interests. As u rt'Hult of this visit, I have ordered our construction department to spare no expenw) and crowd the work o( building northward aa fast aa possible. Orders for additional freight equipment have U'en pi awl to take care of the extra tonnage, and shall also install a refrigerator car to properly care for the fruit, cauteloupe and melon crop and dairy product. The Lakeview country, however, is not well known on the outside aa it ahould be, and to this end I would urge upon your people the need of greater publicity work. Lakeview Is destined lo become the commercial center of southern. Oregon and north ern California and has the agricultural resources In the adjacent country to maintain auch a position. That the world at large iuay know thia requires advertising and publicity. If in this movement the same reHulta can be obtained at a leas expense, or greater results at the same expense, the railroad company will co-operate with you. The advent of a railroad Into your sec tion means much for its future, aud tbla fact should be taken full advantage of. Yours truly, (Signed) T. V. DUNAWAY. Mill Started Surprise Valley Record: A. G.

Rkno, Xivapa, May 8, 1911. J Want a Railroad Cedarville Record : Nearly every stranger that drops into the valley is sized up as a Southern Pacific, Western Pacifio, Grand Trunk, Electric or some other railroad man. The wish is pro bably father to the thought. We need a railroad in the valley. We need it bad, and some of our people are san guine tkat we will have it soon. Rail road rumors are in the air, and are getting onto the people's nerves. They are even arguing as to where the depots will be located and the lines will be run. At present we know nothing about it, but along about the first of December next there may be something definite. Judge Noland Here Judge Noland came over from Klam ath Falls a few days ago and received a most cordial greeting from his many friends and admirers here in Lake county. The Judge expressed himself as being highly pleased with the very flattering vote received here, and al though not successful in being elected yet nevertheless he appreciates the good will shown toward him by the people of Lake county. GREATER LAKE COUNTY Plans Formulated to Inaugurate Big Boosting Campaign ALL SECTIONS EXPECTED TO JOIN HANDS Under Name of "Lake County Development League" Work Can Be Prosecuted In Every Section Which Will Prove Mutually Beneficial For many moons past the local boost ing organization has been on what . might be termed the down grade, and all efforts to resuscitate it seemed fu tile. However, thia week an effort has been made to evolve a plan which ' would have the support of every citi zen who has the best interests of the entire county at heart. Briefly out lined the plan is to organize the Lake : County Development League with aa many members as possible who will agree to pay one dollar each per month for a year. Such payment is simply to meet the running expenses of the or i ganization. and Jwhen funds are necess ary for publicity work or any kina additional money will be raised by sub scription. The work of the League will be in the hands of a board of five managers who will elect a chairman and select a secretary to attend to the business of the organization. By this method it places the responsibility of the success of the League in a few hands, and they will necessarily have to make good, for they can't put its failure on to TO SINK FOR MORE ! ARTESIAN WELLS: I Numerous Wells to Be f Sunk In Neighborhood j j of Paisley Since L. P. Klippel, of Summer Lake succeeded in getting an artesian flow of water, all the people of that section as well as those as far south as the Chewaucan feel positive that the same strata of water can be tapped in their immediate neighborhoods. So confident, is W. K. McCormack that he has contracted for the sinking of a well on his place, which is located some 25 miles south of L. P. Klippel's place, and it is understood that work will commence on it in the immediate future. C. E. Robinson, who has a place six or eight miles northeast of Paisley, also contemplates sinking a well, while- it ia probable that an effort will be made to show the Desert Land Board on the occasion of its1 visit here next month that all of the lands with drawn for the Portland Irrigation Company can be successfully irrigated by aretsian water. Chas. Umbach Injured Sunday evening a dog-fight resulted rather disastrously to Chas. Umbach. He and Mrs. Nolden were driving into town from the north, when their horse became frightened at the dogs and turned tne buggy over the grade at the Hahn place. Mr. Umbach sus tained a very severe shock and badly strained one of has legs, while Mrs. Noleden was severely bruised. For a time it was thought that Mr. Umbach was dangerously injured, but he is now getting along nicely. Decoration Day Decration Day is to be appropriately observed this year in Lakeview and preparations are now being made by members of tne G. A. R. and Spanish War Veterans, assisted by a number of citizens. Services will be held . in the evening at the M. E. church on Mem orial Sunday, when Rev. Melville T. Wire will deliver the sermon, and the regular exercises will be held at the Court House Tuesday afternoon. The address will be delivered by Hon. A. W. Orton, while other features are also being prepared. Further arrange ments will be announced next week. some one else. A very enthusiastic meeting was held at the Court House Tuesday evening, when Judge Daly, Daniel Boone, A. L. Thornton, Dr. E. H. Smith and others spoke pointedly on the questioa of our need of more and better boost ing, and last evening definite steps were taken to carry out the sugges tions. Mayor Bailey presides, and after agreeing on the general plan outlined above, A. W. Orton and V. L. Snelling were appointed a com mittee to solicit membership on the dollar-a-month plan. They are to re port tomorrow evening, when it is ex pected a board of managers will be ' chosen and the work begun at once. ! While it is not presumed that every 'individual interested will argee that '. the plan is the best, yet it seems as though it should meet with support, for all concede that such work, is abso lutely necessary at this time. Walter Dykeman has now fully re ! covered from bad sprain to his ankle, j which was injured while playing ball. STALLION KILLS KLAMATH PIONEER t -i - - na Enraged Animal Fearfully Mutilates The ' Aged Man ! John Simmons. 73 years of. ags and one of the best known pioneers of the i Lost river country, was killed by , Harry Gwinn, a racing stallion belong ing to the Kinneys at the Kinney place j just above the bridge at Olene. I Just how the old man came to arouse the ire of the stallion is not known. ! He was alone at the time, the boys on the ranch having left him there for the time. About noon a neighbor went to the place and found the old fellow ly j ing in the barn lot in a terribly muti lated condition with life extinct, j Appearances are that the old man took the stallion out of his stall to water or exercise him, and the horse either reared and Btruck him or jerked away and kicked him down. Once down. the animal bit and lacerated both arms badly from the hands to the shoulders ; both sides of the head had large bruises where the horse either hit him with his heels or forepaws in striking at him. He also had a very bad bruise over the heart made by the animal's hoof, and one rib is thought to have been broken by this blow. The horse apparently became terribly enraged at its keeper for Borne reason unknown. It is also evident that he was biting at and striking at the old fellow after he was down, and in try ing to ward off the blows of the animal this was how the horse happened to ot chew up and lacerate the arms so badly. Uncle Johnnie Simmons, as he was familiarly known, haa no known rela tives. He formerly owned property out in the valley, but sold this. He was making his home at the Kinney place. Jack Will Build Klamath Herald 7 J. F. Kimball, the local representative of the Weyer hauser Timber company, has purchas ed a fifty foot lot along the river on Conger avenue, from J. G. Pierce. The property is just south of the Bish op place, and ia very choice residenoe property. Mr. Kimball made the pur chase with the intention of later build ing a home. , A
