EXAMPLE WORTHY OF EMULATION J. N.Watson Gives Largest Individual Sum Raised Toward Railroad There, has perhaps never been a greater example in I.ulceview of public enterprise und loyalty to the commu nity in which ho lives, than shown by J. N. Watson when ho donated $."00 cash to the fund to pay for the right of wav and grounds of the N.-C.-O. Railway which the citizens had pledged themselves to pav. This is the la r treat individual donation and coming unsoli cited shows the spirit of the men that are behind I.akeview. Its a fine asset for anv community to have Hnd there iB pot a man or woman in Lakeview but appreciates the spirit of the donor coming at a time when money talks louder than Wordn. "What constitutes a state?" Men I high minded men, men as far above dull brutes endued, as Iveasts excel brambles rude in foreBt. brake or den. The citizenship of Luke County ran bo depended unon to foitio to tho scratch In anv emergency when thev have men of tho J. N. Watson tvne to help them over the rough places.

Mr. Wendt waa I.akeview visitor Monday and savs that there will be good times assured to everv one from I.akeview that attends tho Thanksgiving Dav affair. There is no doubt that the gentleman is alive to I he spirit of progress and that he hs done a irrsnd work in making the headway that ho has to eliminate the results of the lire. INDUSTRIOUS RES IDENTSTRICKEN Chcwaucan Citizen Down With Serious Disease May Result Fatally J. F. I.sndon. well km;wn in I.ake view. where he has sold a large quanti ty of wood during the past eounlu of years, and now living on a homestead In the Chewaiiran Valley i.ear the school house twelve miles south of I'aislcv. is very ill with cancer of the liver and hope of his recovery is very slufht. To make sure of the character of the disease. Dr. Hall performed an (iteration to expose the liver and after seeinir what it was. in consulta tion, decided that to operate on the or gan would mean immediate death so had to abandon the ease. Mr. Landon will receive the svmpslhv of all who have known his induttrv and thrift since corning to Lake country. After being in the wood business for some time he finally took a fine 3-0 acre homestead and through his industry IihiI began to see dsvlivht ahead when the uniortunate disease overtook him. Theic is perhaps no piece of iBnd in the country that has hud more work done on it for the short time he has owned it that his homstead and this vciir he produced manv thimrs that were new to his section of the valley. His illness at this time is a distinct loss to the community and is deeply felt y all. YOUNG TROUT FOR OREGON STREAMS Large Number of New Species To De Planted In Anglers' Paradise Six hundred and twenty live thousand black spotted trout are beinir held at the Honneville hatchcrv. ull of which will be relcuM'd in the various waters of the state as soon as the special tanks that are beine constructed are completed and the little fihh are old enoiik'h to care for themselves. These trout etfira were secured from the Yellowbtone country, where thev were taken tv the Government. This release of trout is especially designated to assist in the rc-stockinir of several ot tnc stream of tho State. Under authority of tho State Fish and (ismo Commission. Warden Finlov tins Peen instructed to designate tho waters into which the trout will be liberated. Under the State law. anv stream mav be closed by the commission for a period, for tho purpose of re-estockina or protecting the fish. To entail as little hardbio as possi ble upon trio aiit'lers of tho state, the State tiame Warden helievea that some of the upper tributaries of the rivers of tho state would bo tho best uroundB for the trout. These tributaries will then be rinsed for two or three years, and at tho expiration of that time opened airain. when the fishinit in the main streams will be unexcelled. It is believed that in that time, the trout will bo ablu to irutnc:itc sinJ mature Buflieientlv to amply restock the main river. Arzner lirothers huve hud a new roof placed on their blacksmith shop durinir the past week and the building is now rainproof. CREDIT TO High School Nearing Completion Well Lighted Throughout Pew Towns In State or Guntry Can Show Better Building Regardless of Their Size--livery Part Built in a Workmanship Manner, Reflecting Oreat Credit F.verv rcslder.t of Lakcview can look with pride on the maeriihcant htructure that is beinir erected for use as a Hiifh School. There are few sections of the country that appreciate more the im portance of learninir than here and the buildii will le a credit to the iudife inei.t of the Populace. Huilt in a desir able location, with over eij(ht acres of ground that has a gradual slope to the West, within a lew blocks of the center of town, and vet iHvinir one of the finest views of the beautiful vallcv that stretches beyond it. there is probably no pIbcc where the pupil could eaze over more country each dav and realize better, that this ia indeed lovely snot to have a home. What strikes the eve of the beholder when within a short distance from the structure is the ample manner in which it has been litrhted hv windows. There CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO WORTHY CAUSE! I Committee Raising Money to Bring Railroad Last 1 Seven Miles A meeting of citizens was called at the court house Monday when means were devised to raise the sum of S5.000 for the new railroad. Speeches were mH!o bv A. Hieber. A. L. Thornton. K. L. Britten. Bernard Daly. Frank Light. V. L. Sm iling J. N. Wateon and J. H. Auten. It seems to be the concensus of opinion that now was the time to act and that the less talking done the better off all concerned would be. The town has awaited the road for upwards of thirty years and now when it is almost here there should be no hesitancy on the part of any one to contribute their pro rata share, for everv piece of property in town would get the same benefits proportionately. .1. N. Watson announced that he' would contribute $"()). while Dr. Ualv speak ing for the I.akeview hunk and Mer cantile Co. with allied interests, stated that thev would contribute 20 ter cent of the remainder or f'.HH). The assessod valuation of the firms represented in this contribution is about &UXI.000. Tho total sum on the tax rolls of the town is about S'.KIO.OOO. A committee consisting of . I. It. Auten. A. Kieber and V. L. Spelling was appointed bv Chairman Harrv Bailey to make an assessment on the business men and others to raise the balance of the amount required. This is an object that ia must worthy and there is not a pro gressive man or woman in the eommu ity that can afford to hesitate in a mat ter of such importance. There are some fogies that sit back and sav that thev wont give a cent but thev are vastly in the minority and the public spirited men and women of the town are going to do more than their share as is always the case The committee is meeting with much success and will soon raise the money. Teachers' Institute Meet j A Local Institute for the teachers of, Goose Lake Valley will be held in ' Lakeview at the Court House on Sat-, urdav. December 'I, commencing at 9, o'clock a. ni.

Not only teachers but all who are interested in the welfare of the schools are invited to attend. J. Q. WILL1TS. Co. Supt. COMMUNITY are few buildinvs anv where, unless thev are constructed entirely of irlass and iron that can excel in this feature J of vast importance to the health and ! eeneral comfort of those that so there for instruction. There are 138 laree windows on the outside of the building that eive the litrht necessary to enable those in the buildinir to see almost as well as though thev were on the out side. The tiesulv of these windows is their depth and lighting capacity while thev lend dignity to the building in keeping with its object. The construct on has trogreffed un der the direction of Sunt rinter.dent Andrew Underwood who has given the workmanship the same thoroughness that has characterized all his building since coming to I.akeview. Everv detail is looked after in a manner that 'oiil i tilled mi ini;eh WEST SIDE HEN GET PAYING CROPS Grain Yield from 80 Acres Shows Nice Margin of Profit $984 from r'O acres of grain on new land is the result that Clarence and Meredith Anderson secured from a crop of grain thst thev planted last spring on the Miles G. Ar.deron home stead, four miles from Anderson Gap. in the WJ of the NEJ and the E of the NWJ section 6. township 40 S. range 19 E. W. M.. containing ICO acres, half of which whs in the above mentioned crop which threshed 1.300 bushels of grain. Tnis was first and second crop suae t ruh hind and shows what is possible in this cart ot the country as the two men did not pre tend to give the land the cure that thev believed it justified. There is no doubt in their minds th.'t tho bind can be made to do much U ttcr when it is in shape and the crop tl;"t thev produced was without anv irrintion of anv kind more than the natural rainlall. This is no record brcakirir crop for unv part of the world but is the average as is shown by the figures on another page of this issue hih! was grown on land 1 that can be purchased here for about twenty dollars per acre. With proper cultivation there is little doubt but that this crop could be doubled. The prices mentioned is the actual sum ob tained for that sold and is no exaggera tion as the 1.300 busdiels of grain sold for less monev this vear than has been obtained bv the growers for several years. Thia crop with the ordinary d iversilied farm products essential to successful farming in the Eastern and Southern country, is profitable if no more than shown is grown on the land. The balance of the 100 acres or 80 acres is either in pasture or ether crops. Thanksgiving Service A union Thanksgiving service will be held next Thursday, the 30th. in the Baptist church at 11 A. M. Besides the sermon and usual services there will be special music bv the singers of the several churches. The service will not be prolonged be vend the hour. It is earnestly desired that all w ho possibly ct.ii tdiall attend this service. The call of the President and of the Governor, in accordance with the national custom, that the people meet in their accustom ed places of worship to rive thanks, thou lil pot be disregarded by us. Thanksgiving oav w ithout such thanks giving is not w hat it is designed to be or should be. Let ull nittt for th: hour, of public service. Some Real Champion The Oreconian has an article stating that Charles Morehouse Winkleman ia the Champion Eater of the Northwest, but the paper is in error for Charles is the G-stonimlc Champion of America. When it comes to a little matter like a meal he makes everv thing that has ever been heard of look like a '"Chewed riata" to use the ex oresaion of that sterling character Dan Malloy. Happily Married On the 7th Ultimo, at St. Andrews Church. Vancouver. B. C. Harry E. Rolls, of Southsea. B. C. and Alma Russell, of Ashland. Oregon, were united in the bonds of matrimony. Mrs. Rolls was formerly a resident of Lake view where her late father resided some vears and manv of her old friends will be glad to learn of her happy marriage. NEW LIME KILN NORTHOF TOWN Home Product Shows High QualityCan be Sup plied at Low Cost Lakeview lime will be on hand next vear in sufficient Quantities to Bunoly everv man that contemplates building. The best part of it is that the quality of the home product will t the equa of anv lime manufactured anywhere in America. The product comes from a ledge of pure calcite rock 20 feet in width that dins into another ledge run ine Northwest and Southeast seven to fifteen feet in width, that sets in true ledge formation. The former ledge is black calcite while the latter is white and amber. Lofftus Brothers, the owners of the property will build an other kiln in the Soring and will handle all the orders that can come to them from this part of the country. The new industry will mean much to local people that have been troubled at times on account of having to wait for imported lime to be shipped in and the new plant will eliminate the need of this deluv. While some lime has been handled from the plant and the owners have on hand about fortv barrels of the manufactured product, the past will be nothing to the imorov ing that this firm of well known men will do in the future. WRECKERS TEARING DOWNLAND MARK Will Make Way For New Hery ford Business Block in the Spring The old bnrn that real old barn the barn that is doeeoned old. is be ing torn do.vn to give wav to the im provements that are under wav in Lakeview. That Sterling character and fine business man "Dad" Herv ford ia the cause of the trouble and there is not a person in the community but what appreciates the good work he is doing now that he is having the old liverv formeriv occupied bv Mike O'Sullivan and later by Auten & Kine- hart as a storage warehouse, ruzeii to the grounu. In the Springtime when the birds are with us again and the N.-C.-O. Railway U brineinir thousands of tons of freight into town to suoulv the hundreds of square miles with the goods that thev demand and when building material is brought in at a much lower rate than now. this gentle man, "The Grand Old Man of Lake Countv" is going to build a block real brick block. three stories in height and roumv enough to take care of the business of one ot the largest firms in Lakeview on the main floor and with two other stories above that will also be used for Commercial pur poses. The Hery ford Building is going to be a credit to the owner and the good name he bears and will mark an other step that I.akeview is making to attain results that will make some of us wonder what wo are thinking of when we placed the estimate so low. This is the finest corner in Lakeview and there i3 no doubt of the wisdom thit has been shown in selecting, it as i. Jtc !m- a bui!Ji.. ouclj as tho ucw block will be. N.-C.-O. RY. NEAR NEWNNE CREEK Will Probably Cross Lin Into Lake County This Week The N.-C.-O. Railway track was laid; three miles south of New Pine Creek last Sunday and if nothing prevented is now at that place. At that rate th rails should be laid into Lakeview in the next two weeks, though of cours there are conditions such as weather, lack of men and other mattera that might prevent the comoletion of th line for a few davs longer. The grad ing has been done and outside of a little work to be done near town ther is nothing to do but lav the rails, build trie bridges and culverts, and get th Hrst train here so that material can b unloaded for the new depot. When th new line gets here there should be a celebration held that would eclipse that of anv town in the entire West. This could be done easily becaus of the manv advantages that Lakeview enjovs as a location. For instance: the hills east of town could be illum inated with various forms of fireworks and the cost be comoarativelv small for the display needed, but it will have to be purchased in time to get here for the afTiir wnich will be held within a couole of weeks from the time that the first train arrives. The first train, it should be understood, that comes here will not be the regular one or the one that will run dailv. but will be the construction outfit and the first regular train is the one to decide all bets. A. committee should take cnarge of thia matter at the earliest possible moment for while the people here have awaited that tram for twenty to thirty vears. thev dont' want to wait a single mo ment than necessary for the celebra tion that is due them. The celebration that is planned will give more adver tising to the town than anv means that the Deoole here could devise and everv important event in Lake Countv will date from the time thit the first train got to Lakeview. It will be re membered as long as the people live and should be celebrated accordingly Let us get busy. Mr. and Mrs. George Whortnn are now occupying their new home or Water street. NEW MINING MEN AT WINDY HOLLOW Invest Capital and Will Make Many Changes in Near Future Mining men were in town in large numbers last week and there are some large developments looked for in the Windv Hollow Mines in the near future. I. T. McVev. N. R. McVev. J. J. O'Reilly. F. J. O'Reilly and T. S. Bir gess. of the Jumbo mine, were among those that wore here. The two former gentlemen have secured a controlling interest in the Lofftus hjldings and will push the development work along new lines from now on. Manv people here nava failed to recognize the im portance of the minerals right at our doors and with the fine showings made in th3 Hong and Wmdv Hollow mine there is going to be an impetus to the growth of this industry that will placer us on the mining mao with a big dis play of red ink. There is no doubt but that the opening of these districts a larga amount of capital will bu one of the best thing that could huDoan to the merchantile and business in terests of Lakeview, for t'w." law. mines will be heavy c6nsumers of sup plies and bring a large amount of labor into thu districts. As mining men are not paupers and noted for their capacity to handle a large amount. of cash in a short time the irmortauct? of these workings cannot be fully appreciated until such time as t'lev are being worked to their fuM c n ! y.
