Serious Accident Averted
What came very near being a aerl
oua accident occurred last Friday after
noon when Donald Metzker in company
with William Harvey were riding sad-
i die horse aouth of the new High School
buil'liig. At a point north of the N.
T. Corey residence the former'a horse
floundered in the mud and turned com
pletely over with the rider on ita back.
When the nimal finally regained its
feet, it started to buck vigorously and
young Metzker could not dislodge his
foot from the stirrup, clung desperate
ly to the saddle until the horse was
quieted down. Fortunately neither
ridornor auimal were injured, although
the former waa quite badly ahaken up.
Financial Condition Good
The official report of the County
Treasurer, which appcara in another
column, ahould put at rest the vicious
canard that has been floating about
which rumored that although there was
some 190,000 in the general fund of
the County, the taxes had been raised
Id the County unnecessarily, for rea
sons not apparent to the average clt'
sen. From the report ot thq auditing
committee whish exported the books of
the county two weeka ago, and. from
this report, any one can aee the safe
and economical manner in which the
affairs of the county are handled.

the Trustees will call tha election for

The "wet or dry" question haa been
a live issue for a long time in local
affairs, and tho forces are well divided,
both sides claiming a good working

work receives the attention it should,
hundreds of dangerous slashings can
be burned without risk to green timber,
and we can enter the fire sesson with
one of our greatest menace, removed.
Permita from State Fire Warden,
must be obtained for all burning done
after June 1. However, I cannot urge
too strongly that you arrange for the
burning of your slashings before this
date, providing either conditions are
favorable.

During her long residence in Lake
view she has given of her services
whenever she was needed and by ber
sympathetic nature haa endeared her
self to many of the best families here.
That she should thus be afflicted in ber 1

that her ailment will be permanent, ai-l

prove the case, and that with proper

and return to Lakeview to spend the
remainder of ber life surrounded by
friends of former days.

Alto, the college paper, says:
"The onlv fight between the special
weights proved to be the fastest of the

hammer and tongs. Up to the bnal

Rosa, by his whirlwind finish, won the

The contest was for the championship
of the University and the prize waa a

As yet the local wool market shows

Relative to the wool market, the
Oregonain of last Saturday Contained
the following:
"Wool buying in Eastern Oregon has
been more extensive in the past few
days, practically all the wools shown in
aome sections have been disposed of.
Fully, 1,000,000 pounds all told have
passed out of tha hands of growers.
Prices have ranged from 10 to 14 centa
for fine and from 15 to 17 1-2 cents for
medium wools.
"Late shearing ia now under way and
the dealers believe the growers will
continue to sell and that many will not
wait for the regular sales days.
"Tbe heaviest buying to date haa
been done by J. P. Dufour of the La
fayette mills. Hia total purchases in.
Washington and In Oregon are estimat
ed at 750,000 pounds.
''Of the buyers who have been operat
