cess of anv similar affair that was ever
undertaken in the town. It was splen
didlv managed, tables being set for 150
at a sitting, and tnev were loaded to
reDletion with the finest arrav of the
choicest of eatables, arranged io fine
taste and splendid order and with table
ware the most exDensive and attractive
that the citv affords. Too high Draise
cannot be bestowed UDon those who
planned and executed the design of this
public dinner. Almost 500 meals were
served during the afternoon, and none
were allowed to go awav buntrrv. In
fact the victuals were so good and look
ed so enticing that more than one com
plained that tbev bad eaten too much
for their comfort or satisfaction. Everv
body is loud in Draise of the dinner.
and this was especially true of the i
citv's visitors. While the dinner was j
in progress the Lakeview band en-1
livened the occasion bv rendering a
musical progiam of rare merit, under
the caDtainshiD of Charles EL Rice.
In the circuit court room of the
court house, which was thrown oDen to j
the cubiic all dav and evening, adeota
in the art of preparing fair exhibits j
had done a tine Di'ece of work, and 1
there were disdaved a Urge and varied '
collection of samples of the grains. '

which drew the attention of a good
ly crowd of sight aeers. It demon-1
strated that Lake County reed not be
ashamed of what its producers are
doing in anv of these lines in com-1
petition with any locality on the west
ern slope.
The Smoker
But however well the visitors were
ente-tair.ed during the dav. the event
of the occasion was the "Smoker."
Which was given in tha evening in
the Circuit Court room. To witness
and take a Dart in this event it seem
ed that almost the whole town was
drawn as if bv magnet, and long be

ceremonies, large and commodious as i

It is safe to sav that hundreds turned

selves within earshot of the speakers.
Music bv the band enlivened the
occasion until the hour set for Uie
oDening of the ceremonies. Mr. 'V.
L. Snelling was master of ceremonies,
and he performed the task of intro
ducing those who were selected to en
tertain the audience bv addresses with
excellent taste and becoming dignitv.
not unmixed with witticisms which
gave zest to the occasion.
Dr. E. H. Smith, as Dresident of the
town council, was the first to be intro
uduced. in an address of welcome to
the visitors, and he performed his dutv
verv becomingly. He told of the trials
which he endured in his effort to reach
Lakeview when he came here twelve
years a bo. in a manner that was verv
diverting and entertaining esoeciallv
regarding the "buckboard" in which
he was obliged to ride. He defended
the Dioneers. and highly complimented
the ladiea of the Civic Improvement
League for their enterprise and public
spirit.
W. T. Cressler of Alturas was next
introduced, and made a verv clever
address. Spoke of the incoming of the
railway as an epoch in the history of a
community as a "White letter dav"
for the town of Lakeview the beginn
ing of a new era. He traced the pro
gress of.the railroad to Lakeview. di
viding it into seven periods this be
ing the 7th a dav of rest, and the
road is finished to its terminus. He
expressed high BDDreciation of Lake
view's welcome, and its treatment of
its visitors. Daid a tribute to Oregon's
women, was pleased to note that there
were here no old maids, but those of
them who had passed the age of vouth
were classed as "unclaimed blessings."
He gave unstinted praise to Mr. Duna
wav for his enterprise in pushing his
railroad into an unsettled wilderness.
He oassel a panegyric uoon Oregon as
the advance guard of popular govern
ment. Dr. B. Dalv was next inroduced. with
complimentary allusions to his manv
and successful efforts made in promot
ing the upbuilding of the town and
countv. He began a verv interesting
and enligntening addresa. brimful of
facts and figures, bv complimenting
the ladiea for having made the occasion
so successful and said that although he
had failed in his efforts to capture one
of the sex as a helpmate he believed
in her enfraenhisement. for which re
mark he was greeted with a round of
applause. What Lake Countv has to
offer to the Bettler was the chief bur
den of his talk, and he presented some
startling facts. Lake Countv. he
said, was larger in territory than 'the
whole state of New Jersey, twice as
large as Connecticut, three times the
size of Deleware and four times as big
as the state of Khode Island. She
possessed enough water in her lakes
and streams to cover 600.000 acre feet.
Her arable lands amounted to 1.000
arces per capita : the amount of money
on deposit in her banks amounted to
$300 per capita, while the assessed
value of her lands amounted to 11800
per capita. The countv is out of debt
and has a surplus in her treasury.
During the'paet two years her tax levy
has been less than 11 'mills the
smallest in the state. She has reason to
be proud of her schools, and her citi
zens are peaceable, orderly, industrious
and enterprising. She la in a rare
condition to invite both capital and the
husbandman.
L. K Conn waa then called upon and
gave an interesting address upon the
important needs of the county. Its
chief need, he pointed out. waa 100.000
people to farm the lands, take advan
tage of her possibilities of irrigation,
make use of her magnificent water
power for manufacturing purposes,
turn the wool from her many thou
sands of sheeo into cloth to clotne her
DeoDle: to tlant her manv acres of
bench lands and slopes with fruit trees,
for which it is known and so abun
dantly proven that thev are so well
fitted : to turn her rich pastures and
meadows in feeding cowt for dairying
purposes: to raise cattle, hogs and
more eheeo and Lv many times doubl
ing ud me auantitv of her farm pro
ducts to furnish freight for the rail
road which Mr. Dunawav has so kindly
brought to our door.
Mrs. Anna Neilon was introduced as
a representative of the enterprising
women of tre Civic Improvement lea
gue, and in a brief address gave evi
dence of the fact that woman can talk
as well as work for the advancement
of the community. She took no special
credit for the work of the league, but
pointed out other things which the lea
gue had in view, emphasizing the need
of much effort in the beautifying of the
citv Dark. She thought the visitors
were satisfied that thev were welcome,
and wanted them to be sure to come
again, and if thev came to stav. their
welcome would be all the more gener
ous. J. M. Fulton, traffic manager of the
Southern Facitic. was then called upon
to make some observations ucon things
he had seen here, and of what the con
ditions suggested. His address was
1 well timed and well received. In Dart
it follows:
I Mr. Toastmaster and citizens of
Southern Oregon : The fact that one
mav go bv rail to Lakeview. Oregon,
j will be soon, or is now. known to hun
dreds of thousands of people in our
, land. That fact means but litle except
to those who know of this grand town
of Lakeview. with its grand people, and
of vour county with its wonderful pos
sibilities in the way of productiveness.
The question you muat solve, and solve
it yourselves, is: How art vou going
j to make the fact known that here in
Lake Countv. Oregon, there is land.
1 water and opporunity for one hundred
thousand more people to make a living
' and accumulate wealth? And accumu
late wealth thev can do. if thev who
comeare of the right sort. I feel com
1 Detent to sav this of Lake Countv. Ore-
gon. for I have been observing and
have been saving the same thing of vou
! for manv veara. and I have never
I doubted but that I waa statinr facta
when I was saving it.
You ask how one hundred thousand
people would come here and accumulate
wealth? I ask vou to notice the four
I
i
1 samples of beans on the table in your
! court house, if vou bad one thousand
car loads of such beans. I assure vou
there would be a ready sale for them at
' not less than four cents per pound
; when loaded on the cara at Lakeview.
This "amounU to $80.00 per ton or
$1200.00 per car load,
j What vou need la the family to take
20. 40 or 60 acres of land and thorough
, lv and intensely cultivate it. Note the
potatoes vou have on exhibit todav.
I Within aixtv miles of Keno there are
' annually shipped to market over one
thousand carloads of potatoes that, at
: least, are not superior to yours.
' I call vour attention to vour samples
( of onions: In tne same locality that
aniua oiiaioea, mere ore auiiuotii pnim-
ned over two hundred caroadu of oniona
to market, never bringing less than
$300. per ton.
Your aople exhibit: Ten thousand
sarloads would be a small amount to
figure tnat vou could sell from this
countv. a aualitv of anples ' not nearly
! as good as those of which you have so
bountiful a supply in this building, and
! if you improve vour opportunities, vou
have the canyons, the water and the
soil to prottuce them. The time has
gone bv to sav that early and late
frosts prevent the raising of apples.
In the Rogue River Valley thev are
prepared to smudge when there is dan
ger of froutH. Los Angeles and Fresno,
likewise, are prepared to smudge to
save their crops of Oranges, lemons or
fruits in 'he earlv soring or late fall.
This mav be done at little expense,
and it is inexcusable to sav that vou
cannot protect yourselves from frosts,
j Land increases in value according to
population. It mav be ever so good,
but if vou have onlv one man to one
, thousand acres, it will be cheap, but
get a man to everv one hundred acres,
and have them doing fairlv well, and
, there will be more demand for land at
a higher once than there is when pop
ulation is small and land plentiful.
Now what are vou going to do to get
the people to know vour country? I
am sure manv of vou know what to do.
but some. I apprehend, do not. I think
1 vou must advertise. 1 have noticed in
some towns that if our newspaper
brothers desire to get out a special e'li
i tion. advertising their respective local
' ities and its resources he must plead
. with the people for oatronHge sufficient
to oav for the publication. In other
sections I have known of them going to
the newspapers and asking what ten
, thousand copies of a anecial boosting
edition would cost, and helping prepare
' the conv and pay for the circulation,
land if well written and oronerlv circu
lated the result is good as there are
: millions of people looking for land upon
! which thev can locate, live comfort-
ablv, and take care of their families.
You unquestionably have in Lake
Countv. Oregon (and I desire to here
interject Modoc Countv. California),
j I believe the best undeveloped country
' in the United States. You now have a
; railroad, but that wont make your town
i a citv unless vou do vour part. Noth
j ing advertises a town or helps to make
it a citv so much us excellent hotels.
A good hotel is a wonderful advertise
ment and a bad hotel is an dually bad
advertiement for anv town. However,
when one sees Lakeview'a beautiful
homes, business houses, court house,
high school building, lighting and
water system and considers that it was
all done before vou had a railroad. I
think there need be but little fear but
I that vou will do the right thing at the
right time and I believe that the de
velopment will be so great in Lake
Countv. Oregon, and Modoc Countv.
i Califonia. in the next few years that
the most optimistic will be surprised.
I draw these conclusions from the fact
that I am acquainted with manv men
in Lakeview. I have known them long.
Thev are the equal of anv men on
earth. I could name so manv that I
refrain from mentioning anv. Some
are verv dear fnendB. Thev have lived
here long; thev have done much for
this countv. ao much that their names
should be in bronze on this court house
building and there remain after thev
have passed Hwav for future genera
tions to see and honor the names of
those who hnve helped build Lakeview.
Of the ladiep. we have seen their work
today and with such noble help 1 see
no wav possible that can prevent Lake
view making good.
