It ia surprising to hear the number
of complaint about town from people
who are entirely out of Ktatoea and
who have been for Homctimc. pant. We
have all heard about hog being worth
their weight in gold, or aome auch

in a few daya now, and will re very
much in demand for a time.

The returning viaitor to Alturas
on the Fourth apeak in glowing term
of their treatment anil the celebration
at that place. There wa a large
attendance and the Alturas people
fairly outdid themselves in entertain
ing their guests. The Lukeview peo
ple were especially favored, for on the
afternoon of the Fourth Mr. and Mr.
Walter Sherlock entertained the entire
lelegution. Table were set on their
I luwn und a most sumptuous dinner
served to about 75 people from thi
I pluce. The bund wa present ami fur
nished splendid music for the occasion,
and the members a n aort of diversion
accepted numerous servings from a
mammoth punch bowl which adorned
the middle of the lawn. Numerous
easy chair, benches, rugs, cushions,
etc.. hail been placed in shady places
on the luwn so that all were enabled
to enjoy themselves to the utmost,
both in the way of feasting and rest
ing. Numcrou toasts were responded, to
Hon. A. W. Orton responding to "Al
turas," while. H. L. Schloss puid a
glowing trihute to "Lakevlew," and
also the host and hostess, Mating that
the only time Alturas ever got the
beat of Lake view wa when Mr. and
Mrs. Sherlock moved to tho former
Aace and forsook the latter. J. N.
Watson also mude u few huppy re
mark, and the occasion wa one that
will bo long remembered ' by all pres
ent. The boxing contest between Abel
ami McFarland did not prove a in
teresting as waa anticipated, owing to
the fact that the latter was clearly out
classed, although the contest waa de
clared a draw, which fact saved a well
known Lukeview man who hud chal
lenged the winner from knocking out
ono or the other. There being no win
ner the second contest will of course
not take pluce.
The band boys are reported to have Governor West and other members
made a hit, and were given the post!f the Desert Land Board, including
of honor in the parade, as well as Secretary of State Olcott, Treasurer
being royally entertained everywhere, I Kay, Attorney General Crawford and
even the ladies vieing with each other ' State Engineer Lewjs, will arrive in
in bestowing favors. It ia all right Lakeview this evening on a tour of
for the unmarried men, but how about inspection of the several Carey pro
others although reports are to the jeeta In this section, as well as matters
effect that none owned to being of importance in other land sections.
Tho people oi New Pine Creek cer
tainly did themselves proud in the ap
propriate observance of the Fourth.
While they had extensive preparation
for entertaining visitors yet when
the crowds commenced swarming in
early in the morning and the stream of
automobiles, carriages, buggies, wa
gona, people on horseback showing no
aign of cessation at 10 o'clock, the
viaitor began to wonder how all the
people could be properly entertained.
However, the hospitality of the
citizens of New Pine Creek had no end
and throughout the day the comfort
and welfare of all waa closely looked
after.
When the Examiner family arrived
at 10 o'clock the town was thronged
with visitors and when the parade
started the atreet were a sea of faces.
Mrs. Geo. Hammersley, Mrs. L'rb
Gentry, Mrs. Win. Soper, Miss Lillie
Knapp and Mis Eva Porter, all mount
ed on h jrseback, lead the parade, being
in turn followed by the New Pine
Creek brass band. The Liberty car
presented a beautiful apperance and
attracted much attention. Miss Edith
Blurton represented the Goddess of
Liberty, while Miss Lillian Taylor wot
Angel of Peace, with Misses Aniens
Charlton and Ethel Kirk pat rick as
Maids of Honor, all of whom were
most attractively gowned and were
greatly admired for their personal
beauty. Albert Fleming represented
Uncle Sam, his reudition of the charac
ter being excellent ami reminding one
of tho cartons of our national charac
ter. The boy's marching brigade, cap
tained by Kessie Dick, was also a fea
ture of the parade, while the float con
taining 25 djiil girls was also greatly
admired. George and Martha Washing
ton, were represented by Mr. and Mrs. j
West Williams, wnile Jack Harwell I
! made an intimitahle "Teddy."
Tom Bullard, Dan Funk and Elmer
Henderson, a clowns, furnished the
spectators with plenty of amusement
with their wonderful one-horse shay,
and their queer antics kept all in an
uproar of laughter.
One feature which added much to
the parade but which did not make
much of a show was the auto contain
ing a number of veterans of the War
of the Rebellion. Among them were
Captain E. FoMctte. who earried the
identical flag borne by hi company
during the war, John Perkins. Wm.
Lamb, David Worlliintgon, George
Vincent, H. J. Conely Lew Henderson,
Jake Hammersley and J. S. Gillette.
All of the veterans were hale and
hearty and gave promise of living many
years to come.
George Hammersley acted as Grand
Marshal, and he certainly made good,
not alone in handling the parade, but
throughout the day, for at no time waa
there any disoider.
At the grove, which by the way is
One of the most beautiful that can be
imagined, with a stream of pure
mountain water flowing through it. the
exercises were opened with music by
the band. E. Keller was President of
the Day, and he performed his duties
most graciously. Rev. Henderson
mado a most appropriate prayer, while
the chorus of 15 voices rendered sever-
j al partriotic pieces which were heartily
applauded.
Rev. M. T. Wire delivered the ora
tion, and in many instances his patri
otic utterances were interrupted by
applause from his patriotic hearers.
Miss Ethel Cergen read the Declara
tion of Independence and her voice
wa admirably adapted to it. being
loud ami distinct and at the same time
pleasing to the year. i
Miss Elsie Keller rendered a very i
pleasing recitation, while Mrs. Jonas
Norin entertained the large audience
with a solo, singing "Three Cheers
for the Red. White and Blue." which
was warmly received.
Sheep Purchased
C, D. Arthur a few daya iince re
turned from Prineville where he pur
chased some 3500 head of sheep. While
the price has not been made public it
is understood to hsve been in the
neighborhood of $2 for yearlings and
$2.W for the two-year-olds. The sheen
are now Wing driven this way. Mr.
Arthur having already sold a portion
of the band.
At the time George Storkman met
with his accident Mr. Arthur was in
Prineville and assisted in getting him
off for Portland.
He states that George would undoubt
edly have been killed had the accident
happened on hard ground, as one wheel
of the wagon passed over his heal.
Fortunately the accident occured in
heavy sand, and instead of crushing
his head pressed it into the sand.
New Atheletic Club
An organization to be known as the
Lake County Atheletic Club waa form
ed several.days ago, with the following
officers: President. Leslie Seager;
Vice-President, V. L. Snelling; Trea
surer , D. P. Malloy : Secretary and
Matchmaker. W. Roche Fick. The
purpose of the new organization is to
arrange for an atheletic bout when the
N.-C.-O. Railway will have beea com
pleted to Lakeview, which event the
members of the new club look for in
the fall of this year.
LOCATE NEW LINE

Fecsability of Western
Route Demonstrated by
Property Owners
The N.-C.-O. right of way from
Funk's Point for a distance of nearly
four miles north has caused more or
less worriment to property owners
along the proposed route since S. A.
Mushen ran a preliminary line several
weeks since. The line selected by
Mr. Mushen ran in almost a direct line
from the Point to the half section line
just east of the timber culture neu
the lake, which is a well' known land
mark. During the past week several
prouerty owners had another line sur-

Now that the work is well under
way., it becomes more apparent that
trains will be running into Lakevf ev
sooner than even the most optimistic
anticipated. The Fandango Lumber
Company will within the next few
days commence delivering ties at
Willow Ranch, while M. F. Phillips,
of the Sugar Hill sawmill, will also

Superintendent Riddle, of Maney
Bros., haa already Completed about
four miles of grade, having it practi
cally completed from the end of Torn
Sagre's contract, some two miles south
of Willow Ranch, to a point equally
distant north of the station. The
grade was completed to a point tvro
miles north of the Kirkpatrick ranch
Saturday night, and very rapid jaro
gresa ia being made by Mr. Riddle. It
is understood that he will soon put in
an outfit at this end of the contract
and work south.
Torn Sagres is also making good,
progress with the rock work at Sugar
Hill, but he has aome very heavy work
to contend with, and by the time ht
completes his work it is likely that a
greater portion of the grading will
have been finished.
Back to First Love
Mr. and Mrs. John Scott and daugh
ter. Miss Edna, are visiting Lakeview,
being guests of Mr. and Vr. Dick J
Wilcox, the ladies being sisters. Mr.
and Mrs. Scott were former residents
of Lakeview, but for the past several
year3 have been residing at St.Heletu,
Cal. The chaage wa made on account;
of Mrs. Scott's health, but they arts
now contemplating again making their
home here.
r ALL READY FOR
CATHOLIC FAIR
Mrs. Dan Funk also captured the j veyed which practically follows the old
audience with a piano solo, which in
cluded selections from numerous pat
riotic airs.
A very pleaisng featrue of the exer
cises was the drill by 25 girls led by
Miss Thelma Taylor, and the many
intricate marches were gone through
with an accuracy that would have been
creditable to presons much older.
The exercises interspersed with sev

Hope He Wins
Gu8 Schroder, of Silver Lake, was
in town last week on his return from
the Elks doings at the Falls, and stat
ed that the baseball team recently or
ganized at Silver Lake were to com
pete with Prineville in a aeries of
baseball games at the latter place on
the Fourth, Gua had very much Con
fidence in hia home team, and we are
anxiously awaiting the news from the
north end as to the results ,of the
gamea.
It ia expected that their first trip
will be over to Warner to look over
the big Carey project there, as well
aa the famous awamp land selections
thereabouts. Afterwards they will

tomorrow. However, it is likely that
the party will be in Lakeview again
Saturday night, at which time a ban
quet will likely be tendered them, al
though the Governor expressed him
self as being averse to any sort of
entertainment.
Recently there has been a vast
amout of ignorance displayed in regard
to Carey land selections, the opinion
seeming to be that all that waa neces
aiary for the State Land Board to do
was to declare the selection void, can

original survey.
The original , survey passed diagon
ally through a number of ranches and
if the road was built on that line would
cause much damage, owing to the fact
that the farming land is but a narrow
strip lying between the lake and the
foothills. The building of the road
through those lands would not only
take much of the land for the right cf
way but would also result in much ad
ditional damage to the remaining lands
on account of the way in which it
would be cut up.
It is stated on excellent authority
that the new survey is equally as good
for railroad purposes as the original
survey, anu xnui no opposition to it is
expected on the part of Chief Engineer
Oliver when he comes to locate the
permanent line.
Aa yet no steps have been taken to
ward selecting a depot site, and prob
ably will not be until Mr. Oliver comes
up and indicates hia desires in the
matter.
It is understood that several Bites
will be offered, and at the proper time
there will no doubt be aome surprises
aprung. The location of the depot
seems to be of fully aa much ImDor-
tance to many aa the railroad itself, if
not more, and therefore the selection
of the 1915 fair site in San Francisco
will pale into insignificancy about the
time our depot site is to be selected.

A partial list of these, especially thwe
