CHENEY LAKE VIEW OREGON Lakeview, joiv z.A moral wave bat passed over Lakeview, and the result wag the rounding: op ot nine men charged with various miademean ora. Eaeti eulpnt was assessed from $5 to $20, and the sum total will be used to ran the local government aa far aa it will go. The practice here ia to appropriate a certain amount to run the govern' ment, and when that geta low the ottl ciala gather a certain number from the various saloons until the deofiit made up, when all ia well until there is another need for funds. Some of the socalled "kangaroo justice" for which the local authorities have been blamed at various times in the past is a result of this system, characterized as an old form of "graft" by many who have been through the local re corder's court. The "gagebroah" jurist may be very abort or legal knowledge, but he geta the money, which in the eyes of some or the local taxpayers is the proper thing, as it lessens what they have to pay annually to support the munici pality. The foregoing article appears In the Klamath Republican of July 4th. It appears to come in the shape of a cor respondence from this city and ia ac cepted by the Editor and Publisher as a fact without farther investigation as to its truth or falsity. It is one of the traita that have been dominant in our neighbor city to knock Lakeview wherever there was a chance. I am not surprised therefore at their peevish attempt to belittle the tesouces of our town and to slander the good name of our officers. I admit that they ad minister justice to euch offenders as the correspondent of the Klamath Re publican is, when he offends the law. but it is such justice as can not be disputed in a law abiding community. No doubt the Klamath correspondent has a grouch coming when he could not pay his fine and had to do street work, but he paid the penalty and ou ght not to mislead a newspaper publisher with ajyarn, that has not one word of truth in it. The records will show that there has been at no time since Lake view has been established a wholesale arrest made fo rthe purpose of , raising revenue for city expenses or for any other purpose as Lakeview has always bad ample funds from taxes and licenses to meet its expenditures. The statement is an absolute and absurd lie. U. Schlagel. The Klamath papers in giving an ac count of the Willis trial at Klamath Falls, state that Attorneys Kent and Rutenlc conducted the defense. The fact of the matter is Batcbelder & Combs, attorneys of Lakeview were first employed to handle the case and Mr. Rutenlc was afterward secured to assist Messrs Batchelder & Combs were prominent in the Drocedure from start to finish. We believe in giving credit to whom credit Is due. BUILDING ERA IS ON INLAKEVIEW Architect De Lonjrchamps Visits This Section to In spect Work F. J. DeLongchampa, architect of San Francisco and Reno, taut week came up to Inspect the work ttelng done here that Is under his supervl slon. While he has no charge of the construction ot the Ileryford building, that being entirely In charge of Mr. Underwood, he said that he was more than pleased with progress being made and the nature of the work. Mr. De Longchampa baa charge of the work on the N.-C.-0. depot as well as the new hotfl for Fairport, thla matter being the main object of hie recent vi.lt. The following taken from the Port land Journal gives a fair Idea of the building record that it now being made In'Lakevlew: Lakeview, Ore., June 29 Building operations are triak here this year and many new blocks are going up, moat prominent of which la the Ileryford Brothera building, a three story brick, stone and steel structure, witn base ment, which will be occupied oy the mercantile company as a department store, when completed, while the Elks club will use part of the building. The First National bank Is building a two story brick addition to it present building and Bernard Daly ia con structing a one atory brick on the Ely restaurant site that will! be occu pied by that firm when completed. Sam Bailey, contractor, is building a brlrk oottage as a residence for binv solf, and many other new plaoea are planned for the near future. The Nevada-California-Oregon de pot at the foot ot Center atreet, has one story almost up, on what Is to be a two story structure to be uesd as terminal offices and waiting rooms by the company. A new hotel baa been planned, but the promoters seem to have given op their original obiect. A new hosttery would accomodate the rapidly Increasing travel that Is a feature of the country since the ad vent of the railroad. GOOD ROAD WORK BRINGS RESULTS Dr. Daly 8preads Gospel Of Lake view's Develop Inff Era. Aid Thanks Public At the last meeting of the Ladies Aid Society of the M. E. Church held at the home of Mrs. T.

The lady workers wish, by this me thod, to heartily thank ,'tbe public for the liberal patronage given them at their public dinners and other Instances by which tbey procured money for this benefit. Windy Hollow Strikes Ft. Bidwell : Several good strikes have been made recently by the Mer- rietild-Smith leases on the Butte mine at Windy Hollow. Four ledges rang ing from toree to twenty feet have been cut that will assay around S25 and one or two screaks of high grade have been found. Aa soon as the ore dumps attain aize warranting it, a small mill will be erected. Tho Jumbo mine also bss excellent prospects, inefficient management alone having kept this property out ot the ranks of the producers. . The whole Windy Hollow country is well mineralized and offers a most promising field to the prosector, Much ground is still untsken.

Klamath Falls Norhwestern t That Klamath Falls and Lakeview have been brought closer together bv the system of good roads Inaugurated throughout the two counties during the last two years la the declaration of County Judge B. Daly, of Lakeview who ia In the city on his wsy to Portland to at tend the Elks' convention and reunion. "We made the run In an auto lrom Lakeview In five hours yesterday did not stretch any apeed limits either,' said Judge Daly last evening. "Lake county has a splendid road from her county seat to the Klamath county line and Judge Warden and the County Court here have done the same thing itb tne highway on this side of tnj line. While this road in either county la not what we expect to have them when the present good roads program Is completed It la so much better now than ever before that automobile or other travel ia pleasure rather than a task It aa waa formerly. 1 figure that the good road work between here and Lakeiew haa cut half the distance be tween the two towns." In spesklng of the preparations of the meeting of the Central Oregon De velopment League In August in Lake' view Judge Daly said : 'We are expecting more than 1000 visitors to our little city at the League meeting and we hope to see a large delegation over from Klamath Falls Lakeview is preparing to show her bsnd as a host at thla time and plan for the greatest development meeting ever held in the weat are being perfected Among the things we are going to do to the visitors will be to show taem the country surrounding Lakeview. Auto- mobiles will be used In making excur sions through the valleys adjacent and an excursion will be run on our new rsilroad probably to seversl of the towns on the line leading in from Reno, "Business conditions in Lakeview and throughout the country are great this year. Crope of all kinds are the best ever and the range for the thou sands of head of aheep and cattle run ning on the hills and in the valleys is excellent. Wool is selling at from 15 to 17 centa a pound and beef cattle are commanding the highest figure known, so that everybody with beef, or sheep is worth ready cash. "Lakeview, the metropolis of Lake eounty, is bumming this summer. The bne high school building ia completed at a cost of 160,000 and the Heryford business (mildlng, to cost 100,000, is rapidly going up. The high school haa an experiment farm to be worked in connection with the school and all told Lakeview Is one of the most prosperous cities in the state. "Other progress Is noted in build ings either .under construction or pro jected and each fellow you meet has his pockets bulging with coin, so thst the hsrd timea we read about in other communities is not felt In Lakeview." Football Sport The members of the Duhallow Foot bal Club, of thia city, are expecting to turn our for practice Sunday afternoon next en the grounds west of the new High School. The grsss on the grounds wss not cut until within the last week or two, which prevented practice work until the present time. A great many of the Irish boys are now in town, and It Is expected that two or more teams can be made up from among their numbers, with the assur ance of having soma lively macthea. It was the original intention to meet teams from flush, Paisley and Adel during the Development League meet ing dates in August, but owing to the small number of plavers now In those places it will probably not be possible to arrange such matches. The next Destining will, therefore, be done ! IL L A M wun io more teams lrom among the local boys. Fire at Tonopah Tonopah, Nevada was this week vis ited by a 1200,000 fire.

Tie was apparently in the beat of hrslth when leaving Lakeview, Speeding lrom Portland toward the south la train which bears all that Is mortal of John Nelson Wstson. It Is , with a faltering hand that these words art written. Msnjeome and men go. and to a greater or less exent do they leave their Impress upon their day and upon their fellow men. We do our little best, aa It Is given ut to do it, but te rompart lively few does It fall to Im press Inltllbly their finger print upon their time. He who breathed for the last time last Monday afternoon was one of those whose passing means more than the bereavement of a small, Im mediate elrcle; because of the manner of his living and the mould In which be waa east, the word that he had died told of a tragedy to Lakeview. He waa one of her best friends. He waa a gen erous man and never did he falter from the courage of his convictions. He wss unfailing In hie optimism. And now It Is all ended. Many pages could be hi led with Intimste personal detaila of bis life, as his was an eventful career. But It la not as if be were some un usual man who had been a atranger to ua. All of us, men women and children knew him. And we know that when his tired heart ceased beating we who live In L4kevlew and Lake County have lost a sincere friind. Vain questions aa to reason of It all mav be beat upon us and our cry of "why?" may go un anawered : the Somewhere Into which he has gone is at its best a vivid hope. but whatever it may be, fully do we know that be aa a gentleman unafraid did he embark upon the laat, long voy- To him and his, peace. VISITS OUTSIDE POINTS Concludes! from pnge 1, Paisley. The Psisley people fulfilled all their promises in giving the people hat they had advertised. It was pronounced one of the teat celebra tions ever held at that thriving little town and Its citizens have oeoasion to feel proud of the wsy in which it hsndled the celebration and took care ot the visiting crowds. Lakeview was also well represented at Klamath Falls, several people bound for the Elks Convention having stopped over for the event, aside from those who were there to be in attendance. The celebration waa held under the auspices of the Red men's lodire and from all reports the grand day was in every wsy most appropriately ob served. ' One auto load from Lake- view even spent the National holiday at Burns, wbere a good celebration was held. From every town visited comes the report that they will take Lakeview by storm on the great oc casion of the meeting of the Central Oregon Development League to be held here August 20-22. The Glorious Fourth is now over. Lakeview joined with her neighbors in celebrating the event. They were treated royally and beartUy assured of reciprocation.
