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.

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

Our Sentiments
"I am in favor of cutting out
closed sason for trout fishing in
country entirely and allowing our
pie to fish at any time of the year,
when thev like and where thev like."
said District Game Warden L. 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.

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.

Portland. Oregon. Feb. 25. Special
The next meeting ot the Central Ore

From the above it is easy to be seen
that Oregon's metropolis ia taking a
