KLIPPEL GETS ARTESIAN WATER Another Summer Lake Rancher Made Happy With Biff Flow BUSHING THE RAILROAD Grading: Is Now Under Way In The O. V. L. Addition iX'EY PROJECT IL UP IN AIR Superintendent Riddels, of Mainey Bros., Estab lishes Camp Near Hot Springs and Started Force to Work This nornlngNew Location for Stockyards Assessor Foater a few daya aince returned from the Summer Lake seo tlon, and re porta that a fine artetian flow of water haa been atruck on F. W. Klippel'a desert claim in that section. The flow waa encountered at a depth of 140 feet, and Mr. Klippel ia now contemplating the linking of a aecond well. And now there ia no further doubt that the "desert will blot torn like a rose." for with water that sec tion of Lake county ia bound to become veritable paradiae. All doubt aa to the building of the railroad thia year into Lakevlew waa removed thia week when II. H. Riddels, of Maney Broa., eatabliahed a camp in the O. V. L. addition near the eouthern limita of town. The camp waa eatabliahed under the expreta or ders of Chief Engineer Oliver, and yesterday J. W. Oliver's surveying crew were at work croas-sectioning the line and placing grade atakea for the Commencement thia morning of throw ing up the grade by Mr. Riddel's forces. While the entire right of wsy has not yet been secured, yet that through the O. V. L. addition can be bad at any time, while C. A. Rehart haa very generously donated the right of way through hia property, while it ia under atood that Jonaa Norin will do like wise. Such being the caae Mr. Riddela haa auflicient work ahead of him to keep hie force buay for at least a couple of weeka, and it ia confidently expected to not only have the rifbt of way obtained by that time but the de pot aite as well. As ststed in the Examiner latt week. Chief Engineer Oliver eelected depot grounds in the Watson and Walters I additions, msking it necessary to pur-J chase 23 Iota facing the west side of Pine street. The Examiner haa infor mation to the effect that there will be no change made in the selection, and it may be taken for granted that the station grounds will be on tbst site. Sueh.being the case, it behooves jthe people of thia burg to get busy and secure the land in question. Estimates of the vclue of the property vary greatly, the lowest being an average of $200 per lot. while the highest is close to $750. The right of way committee got busy yesterday and not only secured the privilege of going through CTX. Re hart 'a property but also received an offer from Jonaa Norin of sufficient land for stockysrds and right of way through hia ranch free of all cost. Chief Engineer Oliver wss at once got in communication with and be will bej up tomorrow to look over the property J offered. Ids ranchers in that vicinity are anxioua to have the stockyards located at that point and If It ia satis factory to the railroad company it ia likely they will make concessions in right of wsy matters. For a distance of between three and four miles the railroad will cross valu able lands belonging to A. S. Downs, the J. L. Vernon estate, S. P. Vernon. C. C Pratt. Mrs. W. P. Cogborn, Mrs. D. H. Hartzog. J. D. Venator. Chaa. Sherlock and R. K. Funk. It will require a total of perhaps 40 acres of land for right of way purposes, and the value thereof ia variously esti mated at from $50 per acre upwards. An informal dinner was tendered Geo. S. Oliver. Chief Engineer of the N.-C.-O. Railway at the Colorado Cafe Tburaady evening by the right of way committee having local railroad matters in charge. In addition to the guest of the evening were present his brother. J. W. Oliver. Harry Bailey. V. L. Snelling. H. W. Drenkel. "! Dr. B. Daly and Dick' J. Wilcox members of the committee. Col. F. P. Light. J. N. Watson. W. Lair Thompson and representatives of the local press. The menu consisted of salads, olives, pickles soups, spring chicken, vegetables, raspberries, ice cream, cake, coffee, wine. etc.. all of which waa greatly enjoyed by all. The table was beauti fully decorated with flowers, ferns and evergreens and with snowy linen and bright silverware, presenteud a hand some appearance. Mr. ana Mrs. Lonzwsy had personal supervision of the dinner and they are certainly entitled to much credit for being able to render such service. State Cancels Contract, But Condition of Lands Still Unsettled BANK OF LAKEVIEW BUYS MODEL SAFE Built of Tisco Manganese, and Is Burglar and Fire Proof The Bank of Lakeview has just Re ceived a tisco manganese safe weigh ing 5480 pounds which is oneof the latest creations in banking fixtures. The safe is equipped with a round double lugged door, and is closed with a Yale tripple movement time lock. To be more explicit there are three clock movements, any one of which, should the other two stop, will permit of the safe being opened. There are two com bination locks on the outside, either CoDtiuued on Page Eiirbt Show Company Coming The Empire Stock Company, a com pany which hasw on much favor with local ople, are scheduled to appear at the 0era House lcginning with the night of August 20th.

NEW TIME CARD FOR DAVIS CREEK Trains Arrive 11 p. m. and Depart 4 a. m Beginn ing August 10th In a letter to tho Examiner, General Manager Dunaway, of the N.-C.-O makes the official announcement that beginning next Thursday, August 10 his roud will commence operating trains regularly to Davis Creek. The time of arrival and departure of trains is the same as given in 'the Examiner last week. Train No. 1 will arrive at Davis Crock at 11 p. m., while train No. 2 will lesve that station at 4 a. m. The first regular train to reach Davis Creek will arrive there next Thursday night, and if the Department make no change in the schedule submitted by the Consolidated Stage Company the mails should arrive in Lakeview short ly after noon of the following day. Just what effect the new arrange ment will have in the way of passen ger and freight rates is not known. However It is not presumed that the "consumer" will notice any appreci able difference, inasmuch us it is not likely that there will be much of a re duction in passenger and freight rates between here and the terminus, while the railroad will no doubt make its rutts proportionately greater. Died Among Strangers Thomas Shelby, aged 62, a native of Philadelphia, died in this city last "Thursduy evening of enterio fever. Together with F. Roddy, also of the sumo place, he was traveling through the country, and it is supposed he contracted the disease 'on Madeline Plains, where he drank from a well on INDUSTRIAL SCENES IN LAKEVIEW 4 , at SVI- " ' .... .... -..iS . . - " ' ' ..

Temple to Cost $15,000.00 Now In Course of Construction The Paisley irrigation project seems' to be no nearer a final adjustment than M was several years ago. notwithttand '' tag the state has cancelled the con tract with the Portland Irrigation Company. It is not at all unlikely that the Utter will object to being thus ruthlessly east aside, and in case it does there will doubtless be a long drawn-out legal battle. But should it gTacefullly withdraw from the field and its rights taken over by a new company there seems to be no likeli hood that under existing circumstance tTJat conditions will be changed at an early date. Those in a position t hazard a guess seem to be of the opin ion that the Desert Land Board favors tb"e State undertaking the work of reclaiming the land, and that convict labor be employed in its construction. , Be this as it may. all familiar with conditions are of one opinion, and fhat ia that the plan outlined by the Port land Irrigation Company ia not feas ible. The contract with the State calls for the reclamation of something over 12,000 acres of lan 1. Before that it will be necessary to provide an irri gation system for the lands owned. , among others, by the Chewaacan Land at Cattle Co.. consisting of some 26.009 acres, . or more than double the amount of land contracted for. Ia addition to that a large tract of land for reservoir purposes will have to be purchased, and after that the con struction of the system itself, will be small undertaking. All of this expense. nnder the company's plan would necessarily have to be borne by toe 12,000 acres in the project. And under existing land values this would not be ' possible. However, it is said ihat much addiitional acreage to the orig inal selection could be obtained, and that at least 10.000 acres of land could be brought under the system by ex tending the main canals to cover the ' lands, much of which is not subject te entry. The most feasible plan, perhaps is to allow the lands to revert to the Gov ernment, thus permitting it to become subject to entry oy the first qualified Continued on pnrttf GREAT REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES Estimated SavingOnChic ago Carload Shipments Under Decision Forest Fire Sunday afternoon J. F. Hanton, the well known Went Side rancher, came Into town and reported that a lively blazo and considerable smoke could be seen in the vicinity of Dry Creek. Supervisor Brown, of the Forest Ser vice, accompanied by Assistant Ranger Bradley and two other men, started for the scene of the tire and after working all night and part of the next day'succeeded in getting it under con trol. The fire burned over about twenty acres of private land, with very little damage except to ?the young growth of trees. Assistant Hanger Abbott, in whose district the fire occurred, as well as several sheepmen camped in the immediate vicinity, and are watching the place to see that the smoldering remains do not blase up again. Mr. Hanson's act in coming a distance of twenty miles to report the fire is certainly to be commended. L. G. Chapman, a saletiran of white metal panB, dishes and other house hold utensils, is now paying Lakeview a visit. Mr. Chapman came here from Cudarville and reports that business Is very brisk in his line. MISS V. BONHAM FINALLYSUCCOMBS Popular Young Lady Dies In Portland After a Long Illness The death of MiBS Vada Bonhum occurred in Portland last week, after an illness of two or more years. For a time Miss Bonham was employed in the local Forest office and it was here that she contracted her illness. For a time it seemed that she would re cover but she was finally compelled to leave here and return to her old home at Silver Lake, and from there she afterwards went to Portland to under go treatment. However, it was all for naught, and she finally went to her rest. The funeral occured at Portland Friday. Her death is deeply deplored by a large circle of friends throughout Lake county, for she was ot a most estimable character and pleasant disposition. C. C. PRATT LOSES HIS INJURED LEG Auto Accident Last Week Proves More Serious Than Anticipated The injury sustained by C. C. Pratt last week in the bursting of the fly wheel of C. W. Dent's auto proved more serious than anticipated and Tuesday the broken leg waa removed at the knee joint. The operation was performed by Drs. Smith, Hull, Daly and Everett, and was successful in every particular. Mr. Pratt withstood the operation remarkably Veil, and unless some unforseen complications arise his recovery should be rapid. He rested remarkably well the night after the operation, and bis optimistic nature coupled with his strong consti tution leaves no doubt but that he will again be greeting his many friends in the near future. "Beautiful and Sensible" Mrs. J. Chan. Smith, of the Paris ian Millinery, who is now in Chicago purchasing a fall stock, writes that the recent warm weather was dispell ed by cooling rains, and that the Lake city is now fine. Incidentally she states that "The hats are beautiful and sensible." The fashion editor of the Kxaminer will also state that such bag been the caae in the" inii'id of' the average woman since time immemor ial. . although it is a weli known fact" that Mrs. Smith is "not always in accord with extremes. Idaho Booster Meeting Tf The first meeting of the Northwest Association of Commercial Executives will be held at Boise, Idhao August 23, 24 and 25, 1911. A very strung pro gram is being arranged by the com mittee in charge and Boise Commer cial Club promises something abso lutely new in the way of entertain ment. The Idaho State Press Associa tion will also meet at Boise at the same time and there is reason to be lieve that the newspaper and commer cial club men will succeel in having a good time. There is a wide divergence of opinion ! as to the results of the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce commis sion reducing freight rates from the East to coast points. San Francisco, Portland and Pupet Sound contend that it will make very little'differeace. while Reno, Spokane and other inter ior points are greatly elated and are of the opinion that it will result in the immediate upbuilding of the inter mountain cities. The Reno Journal is especially jubilant, and has already figured out Reno's advantage over Sac ramento under the new ruling. It is presumed that the Journal will cotv cede the revision of its figures by the rauroaus, wnen ine new rates are established, but its figures are never theless interesting. The total advan tage in carload lots on different com modities ranges from $81.60 to S231 on Chicago shipments in favor of Reno over Sacramanto. and front the same point the saving under the Journal's rates is as follows in carload lots : Tinware, $151.80; wire, $228; quartz mills, etc.. $288; soap, etc.. $256; all kinds of paper. $219; pickles, etc, $255.60; paints. $236; automobiles. $120; hqjor. i2; nails, $228; wrought-iron and steel pipe. $200; vault md prism work. $130.40; iron. hollo w-wara. $lu3: structural iron. $159; furniture, $135.63; window glass. $207; ctiTv 'wvi-R $2; agricultural impleuHn't, $'3G3.
