dered them at Hotel Lakeview in the
evening, and Sunday morning they left
for the north, going to Paisley. Silver
Lake, (iend and other points in that
sect ion.
It i the first time that Lake County
ha ever been honored by a visit from
a Governor of the State, and henre the
occasion is one long to tie remembered.
Mr. West in a very nfTable gentleman,
and one whom it is a pleasure to meet.
During hi tav here he met nearly
every one and had a pleasant greeting
tor all.
The Governor's visit in Warner i
expected to have direct bearing on the
settlement of the famous land suit
that have been pending there for the
past quarter of a renturv The entire
pary was well pleased with the trip,
and wa firmly convinced that a great
future await the development of that
section of Lake Countv.
After the return of the party Satur
day a trip was made out through the
valley and as far as the Drews creek
dam. All were gretly surprised at
the magnitude ot the work, and the
Governor took occasion to refer to
it in his addreiH at the banquet, which
appear elsewhere.
In the evening a banquet was tender

Lake 'iew, the menu consisting of fried
chicken with mashed potatoes, Sarato

tea and colTce. and was one of the
finest sorest! ever had in Lakeview.
The tallies were placed in the form of
a horseshoe, with the Governor's
nnrtv and sneakers of the evening at
! the head and the guests arranged along
down the spacious dining mom. The
table were deeoiittetl with flowers and
prevented a fine iiiipenrance.
After all had done ample justice to
the spread. Miss Father Cobb favored
those present by singing "Soring" and
"Annie Laurie." tho latter nv request,
and in resnnse to a hearty encore sang
"Cuckoo." Miss Cobb has a highly
trained voice, and that her effort
were much appreciated wat attested by
tho hearty applause rendered at the
end of each selection. Mis Lvnnton
acted as accompanist on the piano.
Dr. F.. II. ilaiith. in his capacity
las toast master, made a few opening
j remark about the character of this
! country in general, after which be
j introduced as the first speaker of the
evening W. Lair Thompson, who he
I stated hud been elected representative
from this district at the last general
election, went to Sulem, hud much
experience and returned some time
ago with"no more hair and no les."
Mr. Thompson said: "Mr. Chairman,
Lndiea. and Gentlement:' There is a
distinguished assembly here tonight.
Among our guests i Attorney General
Crawford, a lawyer and general handy
man of tho administration. We have
with us also Mr. John II. Lewis, an
attorney at law, who with much fore
sight and wisdom has practiced law as
a profession and i now holding down
tho position of State Engineer as a
mean of obtaining a living. We have
also with us Governor West, an attor
ney who has specialized in constitu
tional law. If you don't believe it you
may read tho many vetoes which 1
have had the opportunity to read.
There ia also with us Mr. Kay. who
was in the legislature in 1905 when I
was acting in the capacity of chief
clerk. The State of Oregon's political
fight at this time reminds nu) of a
toast which 1 once heard and which
goes someting as follow8'"God created
the world and rested ; he then created
a Republican, again rested ; he then
created a Democrat ami since that
time neither God nor anybody else has
rested."
"Oregon has been a State since 18T9
and from that time to this I don't be
lieve that a single one of its Governors
has ever visited Lake county. Never
theless, we are a part of Oregon. If
you don't believe it ask Dad lleryford,
Mr. Snelling or Mr. Watson.who have
always been here. It la a pleasure at
this time to known that the people in
charge of our State Government have
t aken enough interest in us to visit

because they don't know what is es

mental station and we will be able to
keep these men here. Everyone of
them who Slavs adds much to our
wealth and will help in the long run
towards getting for us a railroad,
which is one of the things we most
need. The State should put money into
experimental work and then into pub
licity." Mr. Thompson's remarks were bearti
Iv applauded, and he was followed by
' V. I,. Snelling, whom Dr. Smith in
troduced as "a man who had been here
Binv-e these mountains were little
hills."
Mr. Snelling poke as follows: "I
didn't expect to be called upon to
sneak tonight, but will say on behalf
of our people that I wish to welcome
to our community the Governor and
hi associates. I hope that the visit
wji v be of as much profit to them as
it lias been a pleasure to us. Had we
known the Governor four days ago as
we do now we would have been in a
better position to entertain him when
he did arrive.
'"Last October a man cams through
here and told us that West wbs not
worthy of support, that he was a
yailer dog, had been convicted of
felony and had run away with another
man's wife and thirteen children. We
didn't known any Letter at that time
and believed him. and for this reason
didn't put forth our best efforts to en
tertain tho Governor and his party
prior to their arrival. Since he has
been with us, however, Mr. West has
made good. We have found out that
he ia not as had as hud been pictured
to us. that h has but nine thildren
and that the valler dog has returned
home. We have to apologize at thi-
time for the reception we are accord
ing him and will assure him that when
he comes again we will tio the thing
roally.
"At the present time the summit of
the Cascades seems to be the eastern
boundary of the State of Oreg in. Some
riny wo may find a new State here
anil if we do that State will be named
"Hill" an'i Bill Hanley will be its
first Governor imuch applause).
"If everyone knew what we had here,
our resources and advantages, there
wouldn't be room enough for us all. A
few year s ago we were favored with
a visit from a couple of congressmen
and entertained them, a Senator came
here a short time ago and we "entertain
ed him, now the Governor is with us
and while he is here we will take him
unto our confidence ami tell him some
of tho good things we have, which we
have long kept a secret.
"At New Pine Creek are some of the
finest apples I have ever had the plea
sure of tasting. Many people believe
that it was there that Adam fell a
victim to Eve, ami in this respect 1
will say that the Eve of the present
day is a lug improvement over the
Eve of Adam's time.
"In conclusion I will say. Mr. Gov
ernor, that I hope we will all get
better acquainted, and on behaif of our
people 1 extend to you an invitation
to help yourself to the good things we
have and wish, when you go home, that
you would tell other people about
them."
Chairman Smith then introduced
Mr. C. C. Chapman, as the next speak
er, as tho president of the Oregon
State Development League and Secre
tary of the Portland Commercial Club.
Mr. Chapman's address follows:
"When I drifted in here this afternoon
I was regarded as a curosity for the
reason that I came from Portland. Up
there we have heard that our business
men have been neglecting opportunities
here, and I am just about ready to
plead guilty to the charge. The fact
is we don't know much about eastern
Oregon.
"Bill Hanley and I have just come
through Prineville. In a way 1 don't
belong to the Governor's party, out
side of the fact ihat he has appointed
mo State Immigration Agent in addi
tion to my other duties as Secretary
of the Portland Commercial club and
President of the Oregon State Devel
opment League. I would probably not
have been here tonight out for the
fact that oon after we pulled out of
Plush In Mr. Hanley' auto a man hail
ed u along the road and said : "Say,
goin' to get in on the Governor' ban
quet?" We didn't want to mis any
thing like that and from then on the
auto was certainly speeded.
"Mr. Thompson ha stated that one
of the thing you need i publicity.
I am of the same opinion and believe
that what we want i publicity for the
entire state, not part of it. To aid
in this purpose money shoulj be appro
priate I by the State and 1 believe it
will be in time.
"I have just come from a convention
held at Prineville. in Crook county,
were they organized the Central Ore
gon Development League. To attend
thi convention people came in on
hornebark and in vehicle of all kind.
The only representative from your
county was a man from Silver Lake,
S. W. Martin.
"When 1 started for Southern Oregon
many Portland people told me that tui
section would prove to be a big dissa
pointment and that the railroads were
coming to this very conclusion. On the
map people know this section simply
as the "Sandy Desert." Since coming
here 1 have found out different and
am free at this time to acknowledge it.
"On behalf of the Portland Commer
cial Club I wish to state that your
county will from this time on recieve
just as much publicity as any other
county in the State. (Applause) In
the past our failure to recognize you
mor than we have has been due whol
ly to ignorance. 1 will advise you
to stick together, get behind your
league and shout and you will get re
cognition. As you get busy we will get
busy and you will find that the rail
roads will do the same thing. The
stronger you are the sooner you will
get the railroad. 1 express on behalf
of the people of Portland the good will
we feel." g- " it
Mr. Orton was then introduced hy
Chairman as the next speaker of the
, eet::ig. who among other things said :
"I sjiiak merely as as representative
of th.j Government. At the present
i time much land is being filed on here.
but there are about 100.000 acres tied
tip ur.der the Carey Act. . These pro
ject are not helping out the country
any lor the companies at the head of
i hem are simply selling bonds and do
nothing to make the dirt fly. As an ex
ample 1 will cite the Paisley project.
"Commercially we belong to Califor
nia, but I am glai that at last Port
land is discovering us."
Mr. Conn then followed, ad his re
marks in part were as follows :. "In
my boyhood days whiU a resident o
the W illamette Valley I had the plea
sure of being an intimate friend of our
Governor and the present Attorney
J Gene. :tl. 1 remember Mr. West as a
; yourvt man who first started oat as an
' errand ooy and has since occupied
I many p .: itions of trust, all of which
he has ii led with honor.
' "Yes.u rday I was fortunate enough
1 to Mou pany the Governor and his
; ti-ir iv tj the eastern part of this
cou.uy. and I found that these uincials
i were 'all keenly interested in what they
saw. They have, without doubt. ' been
impressed with our spirit of progress.
' and their coming at this t'jr.e forelo:!e3

1 "I have one more remark to make
: to ight about one of our guests hare.
"P.iil Hanlev. It tner? ever was a
true frien i of Lake countv it is him.
Many people in search f h jmeste-eis
pass through his country. &nd when
Bill gets hold ai them tiK-y usually
land here. "
Mr. C' nn was followed in his remarks
by St!te Treasruer Kay. who said:
"It is a nlesaure for m; to be here
tonight, and I wish to say that the re
! ceptu n extended to our entire partv
has indeed been cordial. Befoic
I proceeding further I will take a few
I moments ot your time to relate n story
told me by one of Dr. Daly's friends
about the doctor. When a young man
he was called on to perform ar opera
tion. This completed, the wound was
finally sewed up. but in packing away
his tools the doctor happened to miss
a sponge. The wound wa reopened
and inside was found the missing
article. Hi again went through tne
process of sewing up the opened parts
and after completing the work fourai
that one of his insturments was miss
ing. There was no other place to lock
so he finally reopened the wound for
the second time and was fortunate In
finding the article. The process of
sewing was again gone through and
this time the doctor thought that it
had been completed, but. alas, he was
again obildged to re-open it for some
reason or another. The patient was
beginning to get tired of it by this
time and calling the doctor to his side
said, "Say, Doc, if this is to be kept
up I wish you would sew buttons on
me."
''The principal reason we are here
tonight is because we wish to be in
formed about your country so as to be
in a position to decide intelligently on
all matter coming up before us and
which relate to your section of the
State. We are much interested in
your locality, and expect to come back
here again whenever the occasion
arises. In going over your country
we have seen the vastness of it and its
many resources, but when we come
back again expect to see it much
changed. Speaking of changes reminds
me of a story I once heard a about a
junk dealer. He happened to be taken
sick and his wife finally induced him to
take a turkish bath, this he did. but
on returning home found that his vest
was missing and was not to be found
at either the bath house or any of the
other places he had stopped at on his
way home. Several yeara later he
was again troubled with the same com
plaint, and again acting on the advice
RAILROAD MEETING

COMMITTEES AT WORK
Conclusions Will Be Reached
When Road Is Located from
Funk's Point
That the people of Lakeview are
deeply interested in the railroad situa
tion was evidenced Tuesday evening by
the large number who responded to the
call for a mas meeting at the Court
House to consider the question. Mayor
Bailey called the meeting to order
and briefly stated its purpose, that
of procuring a right of way for the
N.-C.-0. from Funk's point and depot
grounds in Lakeview.
In response to calls from many, W.
Lair Thompson briefly outlined the
situation and suggested a permanent
organization be effected and and two
committees appointed, one to bring
Chief Engineer Oilver to Lakeview and
have him locate his road so that steps
could be taken to secure the right of
way. while the other would secure
option on the different depot sitf .
Dr. B. Daly heartily endorse', the
plan outlined by Mr. Thompson, arid
states that he considers the present the
opportune time ti take the matter up
with the railroai cfficifcij.
Messrs J. N. Wstson and H. W.
Drenkel also r.ia I ; a few remarks
pledging support to the movement.
In accordance with the plan outlined
by Mr. Thompson, Mayor Bailey was
elected permanent chairman and W. F.
Paine secre'ar The committee chosen
to procure ..ptions on depot sites con
sists of Chairman Bailey. W. Lair
Thompsot . Dr. B. Daly. Dic' J. Wilcox
and A. L. Thornton, while H. W.
Drenkel. J. D. Venator and V. L.
Sn i.f will use their persuasive
pevers upon Chief P.nr'.neer Oliver in
' avoring to induce him to locate
to road along the old meander line of
'he lake instead of cutting ua ail the
