While Judge Roland and bis party
take the maracd course of the Pacflle
highway along tbe old stage road west
of the Cascade mountains, over tbe
Siaklyous to the California line, Mr.
Benson and Mr. Hill will traverse tbe
alternate, unmarked route, from Wasoo
to Lakeview and through tbe vajley of
the Pitt River to California. Mr. Hill
Is of the opinion that the route east of
tbe Cascades may ultimately beoome
tbe favored Paclflo highway for tour
ists, as It is not so much affected by
weather conditions.
The tour in all will be tha moat ex
tensive, and poaaiblo determinative,

tion In San Francisco will tour on
through Southern California to the

LEAGUE IS LITTLE
OVER YEAR OLD
Was Organized at Prlne
ville Lakeview Secures
Second Meeting:
The Central Oregon Development
League that meets August 20, 21 and
22, was organised on July 1, 1911, at
Prlneville, for the purpose of develop
ing and advertising Central Oregon.
It waa decided at tbat time that Cen
tral Oregon was an empire by itself,
and in many ways independent of
other parts of the state. At the time
ot its organization Klamath County waa
represent by County Judge W. S. Wor
den, Msjor C. K. Worden and C. T,
Oliver, W. S. Worden waa elected vice
president of the league at that meet
ing. Assessments were levied on a basis
of $5 for every 100 population. The
next meeting waa held in October in
Burns. Lakeview got the next meeting
through the energy of aixteen live
delegates attending from here. It ia
quite likely that Klamath Kalis will
get the next meeting. '
Thlefs Raid Automobile
Some of the auto crippling fiends are
atill alive. Monday evening while re
turning from New Pine Creek a wheel
broke on J. B. Auten'a Winton car,
which necessitated it being left by the
road until morning and he could return
with the mended part. The next morn
ing when he returned the machine waa
found to bo almost a total wreck caused
from the fiendiBh work of some mis
creant. The car waa stripped of its
tires, lamps horn and various other
parta. Not being satisfied with this
damage the raider or raldera rolled
tbe big machine down tne hill which
finished many parta that they did not
reacn. The law ia closely after the
wretches and it Is hoped they will be
made an example of.

COMPANY HERE
After Seven Years'Absence
Fred Moore and Wife Re
turn to Lakeview
Tbe Fred Moore-Eitber Company this
week arrived in Lakeview and Tuesday
evening opened an engagement at the
Snider Opera house In a bill entitled
"Tomorrow."

firstappearnce in Lakeview aince seven
yesrs ago and during tbat time tbey
bave spent moat of tbe time in Utah.
They are well supported by an evenly
balanced cast of good players, and are
presenting clean and instructive pro
grams which renders tbem an attraction
in every particular.
Last evening they produced "Tbe
Red Cross Nurse" stirring and thrill
ing plav from start to finish. It de
picts a scene of the Spanish-American
war, and the lines being replete with
patriotism as well as some good, whole
some Irish comedy, makes Jthe bill an
appreciable one. The only objec
tion to last night'a performance was
the tiresome intermission between acta,
but tbia was excusable by the difficult
and impressive changes in scenic
effects that awaited the audience at the
beginning of each act
Tonight the play will be "Why Wo
men Sin," a aociety comedy drama,
which they promise will be an inter
esting program. Since leaving Lake
view Mr. and Mrs. Moore's union bas
been bleared by the advent of a babv
girl, who la now four years old.. She
appeara in a Ienetby role in the perfor
mance tonight, and beam the distinc
tion of being the youngest actress on
tbe American stage toaay.
The company will finish the week in
Lakeview and from here will go to
Klrmatb Falls.

FINANCIER
COME WEST
Says Oregon Offers Won-
derful Opportunities to
The Young: Man
The following glowing tribute to tbe
Pacific Northwest and Oregon especial
ly is from tbe pen of Thomas W. Law
son, Financier of Boston, in tbe New
York World. A marked copy of which
bas reached the Examiner:
After caretul study ot the problem
set forth in your telegram, were I
graduating today trom college. East,
West or South, I would head straight
for the great undeveloped Northwest.
I would buy my ticket for Portland,
Oregon. I would spend my time first
week in tbat splendid prototype of our
old, conservative and intellectual but
withall coursgeoua and bustling New
England capital of a half a century
ago. While in Portland I would haunt
the reportorial departments of the daily
newspapers, the ever welcoming rooms
of the numerous business club and
tbe booming departments of the great
railroads and navagation lines center
ing in the auperb Pacific metropolis.
Then I would go right out and into the
modern paradixe of happiness and dol
lars, the virgin interior ot tbat wonder
ful State, a world in itself, containing
to spread and then lots more everything
tbat makea health, hustle, prosperity
and contentment for man, woman and
child. It I were possessed of fliO.OOO to
to $50,000 capital, in a twelvemonth I
would telegraph back to Bradstreet
and Dun to mark my rating $15,000,
and then three twelvemonths later I !
would wire them to make it at from l
half to three quarters of a million. If 1 1
had only my carfare, Bible, dictionary
and fountain pen, I would aend word to
the old folka to watch out for the
Christmas coming of the old home
mortgage lifter, and I would bet my
pal dofg, for of course I'd bave blm
along, against a pouch of tobacco that
when Christmas came I wouldn't he
making excuses for not coming East.

MANY NLWTRUCTURES
OVER $200,000 SPENT FOR BUILD
INGS SINCE JANUARY 1,1912
All Structures Been of Permanent and Subr
stantial Nature and Modern In Design
Citizens' Faith in Town's Future
Over S200.000 baa been and ia being
spent since January 1, 1912 by local
business men and residents of Lake
view in tbe erection of eobetantial
buainessa blocks and dwelling bouses.
Tbia estimate does not include any
contemplated buildings or any tbat on
wbicb actiial construction baa not be
gun, and nearly all the dwellings have
been completed, and are now ocoopied.
Below we give a list of tbe buildings
that bave been completed thia year
and on which work ia progressing and
a very conaervative estimate of tbe
coat of each. Tbe total of these im
provements reaches the big sum of
S217.500. And thia does not Include any
expenses for improvement tbat have
been made to various small buildings
during the year:
Tbe large three-story frame atruc
ture wbicb ia being erected by Hery
ford Brothers, on tbe corner of Main
and Center, on which work is progress
ing rspidly will cost at least calcula
tions $100,000. The steel frame ia prac
tically all placed on the first two stories
and tbe brics laying crew ia lastly fol
lowing op. When computed thia build
ing will be one of tbe finest edibces
in Southern Oregon. The basement
and entire bottom floor facing Main
Street will be occupied by the Lake
view Mercantile Company, wbiio'tbe
East aide haa been leased by th Hall
& Beynolda Drug Co., which baa re
cently become Reynolds & Snyder. The
second floor will be rented for office
rooms and the third will be practically
used by an Elks Club.

STAMTPUT
Expert Advocates the Es
tablishment Of Experi
mental Farms
That the annual agricultural pro
duction Of this state could be increased
$10,000,000 in five yeara without adding
one square rod '.to the farm acreage,
was the contention of Dr. James
Whitycombe, director of experiment
stations at the Oregon Agrio'tural Col
lege, in a recent address on tbe value
of demonstration farms. He advocated
the establishment of a d monstration
farm in each county under competent
supervision, the superintendent to act
as advisor to tbe farmers of bis district
and to assist 'n tbe formation of rural
organization for the improvement of
educational, social and financial con-
atitions.
"In many foreign countries the value !
of demonstration farms and special
agricultural educational work ia
strongly in evidence," said Dr. Withy
comte. "The little country of Den
mark bas made phenomenal agricultur
al progress under the system of demon
stration Instruction. With an area
equal to buc one sixth of Oregon Den
mark supports 2,690,000 people end ex
ports annually over $100,000,000 worth
of butter, eggs and bacon. Tbia ia
accomplished under ' adverse agricul
tural conditions, much of the country
being so bleak it ia necessary to blan
ket the cowa in pasture to keep them
comfortable in summer.
"If such results can be secured un
der such unfavorable conditions, what
results might we not justly expect
from a smillar system here in Oreeon
where conditions for dairying and gen
eral farming are so tavorable?
