Lakcvtew, Oregon, Tlinrwday, March T 1918 AVOIO T1IK ltKEAKKKS Lakeview as a municipal eorooration is on the nrn of an awakening such a all ef the larger interior ctt ea of tba atata have exnerienced, and eucb being? the case extreme ear muat be taken lest we make some of the mla takea that have been made bv sister cities nut so verv far distant. A sewer age system is now being considered. and this no doubt will be followed in the near future by a municipal water system, caved streets and the like. As to the mistakes which mav be made, or avoided, as the case mav be. Klamath Valla mav be taken as a bright and shining light. All aorta of charges have been made and are now being reiterat ed with increased vehemence, and a haire bonded debt to say nothing of saanv thousands ol dollars of floating indebtedness, has been created in that oitv. and it would apoear that a day of reckoning is not far off. With the construction of a sewer system Lakeview will issue her first bonds, and therefore the Examiner argea that every ateo in the work be carefully considered before final action is taken: that all action in connection therewith be ooen and above Doard. I and that there be no meetings behind I closed doors or without due notice being given to all tiarties interested or likely to become so. Any other action will cause trouble sooner or later and re sult in the good faith of those in authority being ouestioned. no matter what the result mav be. The auestion of the disposal of .the sewerage is the onlv one presenting any problem whatever in the uropoaed system for Lakeview. That question should be settled definitely before any sum of money whatever is expended 11 Don the location of the mains and laterals or any other Dart of the sys tem, should an attemot be made to dumo the output where itfwill run onto Drivate holdings, it is Quite likely that the city would be enjoined from such action at once. And this aoolies equally well to a septic tank system as well as anv other method of dis posal. It is not to be presumed 'hat any Drooert? owner would permit the city to dumo its sewage into his back yard without protest, regardless of its form. Another aueation to oe considered is the control of the flood waters dur ing the spring freshets. This is closely connected with the sewage proposition, in fact should be made a part of It. and therefore before anv definite actioa is taken all these auestionB should be set tled. However, the vital question is that of the disposal of the sewage, and is therefore urged that before anv ac tion be taken on plans for the mains and laterals that the city's right to ita disposal be settled definitely once and for all. ! session of Congress, and the Examiner believes that the Western representa tives in Congress are fully Qualified to orei are a just law. No doubt there will be soma extremists who are seek ing notoriety who will make a loud noise, either because the "poor man's interests are not looked after or be cause the law la so lax that the caoi taliita will be permitted to gobble uo all the remaining publio domain. The Examiner haa no fault to find whatever with the views ex pressed bv its contemporaries either concerning itself or others. The latest attack cornea from the Chewaucan Presa which denounces the Examiner fur pledging its euooort to Taft .From a business standpoint it is really well pleased that thev take the atand thev do. Hence there is no reason whv anv attempt ahould be made to enlighten them when thev acknowledge their inabliitv to see the light as the Exam iner sees it. Perhaps if thev were so enlightened thev would not be lagging along in th tail end of the newspaper profession. The Examiner ia bv no means infallible, but that its course meets with popular approval is attested bv its large and constantly increasing circulation, it being more than three times that of anv other paper published in Lake countv. a fact, which can be substantiated bv anv one bv making in auirv at the Poetofficea where the pa cers are mailed and getting the weights from the Postmasters. New Pine Creek Items That the Taft managera realise that every resource must be called upon to nominate the President, is made evi dent bv an analysis of the electral votes in the various states. Twentv tbree of the 48 statea now have Repub lican governors. The vote of these states in the electral college totals 238. With 331 votes in the electral college and 266 necessary to a choice the Re publicans will need only 28 additional votes, providing thev can hold the states in which thev now have the gov ernorship, to carry the next Presiden tial election. AS TO HOMESTEADS Under President Taft's administra tion much more leniency has been ex tended to homesteaders than under anv previous administration for a number of years. When Uallinger took charge of the Interior Department it was the practice to investigate practically every homestead after proof had been made and before patent issued, and that practice cad be'jn in vogue tot many vears previous, but Mr. Ralling er auicklv put a stop to such practice. An effort was made to do awav entire ly with the residence qualification on 320-acre homesteads here in Oregon. Senator Bourne taking the initiative in the matter. Then a lot of yaps who wanted their section built uo bv actual residents set up a howl saying that thev did not want a lot of foreigners to get hold of the land but wanted the land seekers to make their home on the land and thus assist in the upbuilding of the country. Now an effort is being made to make the law much more leinent and here comes another lot of loud-mouthed blatherskites who know nothing as to the conditions, and "hol ler their heads off" about "the poor man" being shut out. Anv one who knowns anything at allknows that the poor man. the man without means of any kind, can not take 160 acres of land and win out. He must necessarily have a team, a bouse tn live in. besides a wagon, farm implements, arid the like, all of wbicn will cost in the neighbor hood of $1000. He must then clear his land and raise a crop before he can get any income whatever from his claim, and long ere that "poor man" has become disgusted and given back to Uncle Sam his ,"160, acres of free public land." Itj;is almost certain that the home fcteaJ laws will tie amended at this Arrangements have been made for the publication of newspapers on thirty or more steamships Diving along the Pacific coast for running to the orient. These newspapers, which will be simi lar in character, will be issued dailv. Aside from telling the news ol the ship thev will furnish excellent news re ports of the worldwide happenings of the day. The papers will, of course, be confined to those poHsessing wireless telegraph instruments. The Mexican Government has agreed to oav an indemnity of S3. 100.000 to the Chinese Republic for the death of 300 Chinese at Torrenoa. Mexico, during the revolution last Julv.

We leel that this is a good opening for a news paper and there is a splendid opening for other lines of business. The Com mercial Club will let the world know of these facts in the near future. Henry Wendt received this week from Chicago, a shipment of Ice Cream chairs, tables and stools etc. and other Ice Cream Parlor fixtures. When out in running order New Pine Creek will have one of the most up-to-date Ice Cream Parlors in the county. The Saturday night dances were closed here last, week, with small attendance for the past six weeks. The management uVcii'ed to close for a while. They expect to start the dance again about April 1st.

Hp has been engaged in either the mechanical or editorial depart ments of newspapers many vears. working in this respect to some extent since coming to Klamath county nine vears ago. Ha was for twenty vears so engaged in Nebraska, and his work there brought him in close contact with Wm. Jennings Bryan, and for sev eral years he was private secretary to the Nebraskan. Mr. Sherman was recently employed on the Examiner.

Alva Lewis yesterday. Warden Lewis said he had formerly been in favor of a closed season for trout in the waters of this country but he had now made uo hiB mind that this ia really the cause of all the trouble and agitation going the rounda about arrests and the activities of game war dens in trying to make the fishermen of the country live up to the law. Klam amath Press. The same conditions apply in Lake county and there are many who would like to see a change made in the trout law. Regular practice for the football tournev ia now being bad and the match games to be pulled oaf during the Sum mer promise to be hotly contested. Paisley Pick-ups (Chewancan I'resH) It is stated on good authority that a practical saw mill man is going to out in a plant at a posnt up the river and commence sawing in the very near fu ture. Two loads of lumber arrived in town Tuesday to be used in the erection ot a real estate office for the Paisley Realty Co. Work on construction com menced Wednesday morning. In a letter received in this office from F. F. Smith, of Bend it is stated that the writer expected to be in Paisley again before long to make final arrange ments for the opening of the Chewau can State Bank. Nearly five thousand acres of govern ment land have been filed upon in the last couple of weeks. Most of the en tries are desert claims and thev are nearly all adjacent to the Portland Irri gation tract. At this rate there will soon be little land left for entry near Paisley. J. E. Bedingfield. lately of Madraa. has recently located on a desert claim on the southern edge of the marsh. He states that he is contemplating the opening of a general store in that part of the valley. Ibia in the estimation of many would be a good business move, for the country is settling up very rapidly and the distance to Pais ley maWes trading rather inconvenient. Mr. Bedingfield ia a mercantile man of large experience and it he carries out his plana we wish him every success. Interest Shown Portland. Oregon. Feb. 25. Special The next meeting ot the Central Ore gon Development League will be held at Lakeview August 20-22.

Plans are being formed to take 400 business men from Portland and other parts of the state to Bend bv rail and thence to Lakeview bv automobilea. returning via Medford. Plans are be ing made to make the Lakeview meet ing memorable. From the above it is easy to be seen that Oregon's metropolis ia taking a goodly Interest in Lakeview.
