In bia speech Professor Storm recount ed bia trampa through High Grade and atrongly emphaaizod hla approval of ita wonderfully rich proepeeta. The audi ence waa full of people who were very anxioua to bear what thla worldly man waa going to aay of High Grade. And we might add It a I ho contained aome akeptica. The speaker waa given very eloae attention, berauae what he had te aay meant murb to Lake view and or personal Intereita and hia approval of the dlatrlct aa met wltb applauae. I'rof. Storma' tirat declaration waa that he waa not public apeaker, and would have to confine himaelf to facta. Thla waa juat what we wanted. Ilia addreaa waa upon scientific and practi cal Itnea, aa he did not confine hlmaelf to the geology and chemiatry of High Grade'a formation, but nly touched thcan pointa in a general way. While he made aome broad aaaerlion about what be expect d of High Grade, he waa very conaervatlve in hia remarke. One glance at the t'rnfeaaor tell that be in a man of few worda, and one who would juat aa aoon unflinchingly turn down a p.twpect or mining camp aa be would brand It with bia official aeal of appruval, if it ahould become Ma duty to do ao. He made compariaona of New Fine Creek and Goose Lake Valley with Colorado Springa near the famoua Cripple Creek diatrict and concluded) tv aaying that thia he hoped would the mine. The managera extended to him an Invitation to examine the Sugar I'ine, n the ore from which the mill atampa of the company are now drop ping. After calling at Itranley townaite and meeting with Mr. 4. P. Hranley. the wide awake butler at the hlm tor the town, and alao for the Seven Lakes Milling and Mining Co., the Alluraa waa viaited, and hearty bandahake with the Canfltlde Sr. and Jr. took place, with a promiae from Mr. Storma to inveatigate tha property. The party took dinner at High Grade, after which the great HuMihine mine with ita numeroua auroriaing aurface ore bodies, being opened up under leaae by different partiea waa examined. Here aa at the Conaolidated. Mr. Storma' eyre grew weary looking at long atringa of gold from every panning made, and alao at the gold apangled cc I me na of auartx produced in many of the propertiea. Mr. Storma waa ehown rock from the Sunshine proper by manager U. X. Dawaon, and from the Lucky Dutch man Noa. 1 and 2, that convinced him of the wonderful poaaibilitica of Camp High Grade. 1 Returning to New Pine Creek in the evening. Mr. Storma waa greeted by the entire populace in a public recep tion at Wendt'a opera houae. GOOD PROGRAM OF SPORTSASSURED Several Ball Teams Ex pected to Enter Tourna mentGood Purses N.-C.-0. COLONIST RATES ROUND TRIP TICKETS, RENO AND DOYLE TO LAKEVIEV, $11.90 ' Ten Days Layover Allowed On All Tickets Sold at Points East of Colorado Will . Bring Many People In Here The moat progresaive atride yet in augurated ty tne N.-C.-O. Hallway to ward the development of thia great in land country waa announced the first of the week when Agent Claas received notification from Traffic Manager H. V. McNamara of the aubatantial rate reduction that would be in effect over the line when the Western Colonist season opena. Tbla new move will give privelege of a ten day atop over at Keno, Neva da, or Doyle, California, on all tickets sold at points east of Colorado, and ticketa will be aold over the N.-C.-O. frnm either of those placea to Lake view and return for $11.90. The colo nist period thia year begina September 25, and the new rate over the N.-C.-O. will begin on that date. Thia attitude on the part nf the Rail way officials is moat commendable aod it is a move of great importance to the coontry. Every season a multitude of Eastern people take advantage of the Cnloniat rates and come to the West, and when Reno over the Southern Paci fic or Doyle over the Western Pacific, ia reached they find they can make tbe trip through all thia northern country tor auch a small cost, tbe inducement will be enough to encourage them to come. This season of tbe year will be one ot the beat times for the land hungry to see the country, as they will be able to see exact crop production In a ma tured state and ean determine for tbsm selves what tbe country is capable of producing. The people who come West during the Colonist time are onea who are seeking land and every year tbe immi gration westward baa increased an enormous per cent. This will bri;.g us in touch with the right class of peo ple to settle up our lands. We do not expect to keep everyone who comes in during that time, but its certain that some of them will stay, and by those who go away vf ill be spread tbe name of Gooae Lake Valley ar.d Lake county to wide extent tbroighout the Union. to show them the enormous resource! of this country? The crying need of Goose Lake Val ley and the entire county ia more farm ers to till tbe vast acreage of aoil that la now laying absolutely dormant. Of course the country is bere to show for Itself, but it is an undistputed fact that a warm welcome and a few encourag ing worda accomplishes wonders with the stranger who comes into our land. And tbeae wonders can only be accom plished by good, live Commercial or ganization. Let aa hope tbe people will not lay down on tbe proposition, but turn our enmasse and lend tbe purpose not only their moral but financial support. .VIEW'S EFFI- LiJv! tllUll SbHUUL Brief Outline of Purposes and Building For School Public The hard work that ia being none by the sports committee insures the suc cess in every particular of that end of the Central Oregon Development Lea gue meeting here next week. The committee composed of Lee Beall, ' chairman: J. S. Lane, Dr. K. H. Smith, Elmer Ahlatrom and D. P. Malloy has circulated posters all over the Interior country announcing the bsee ball tourn ament, Irish foottall, bronco busting ome true, and alao added tnat from his ! n other lines of amusement that are view of the situation it waa reasonable to expect that auch a prophecy was proLable. He encoursged the citizens of our town to cooperate with the peo ple who are developing the camp, and pointed out to them the importance of a gold mining district within such oloae distsnce of this valley. "I want to visit the camp again next year if auch a thing is possible and I hope to find a gold producing district that equals that of Cripple Creek," conclud ed Professor Storms in his address. Following Professor Storms, Judge B. Daly delivered a short addrese ex presHing his confidence in the future ot the new mining camp and voicing welcome of Lakeview a citizens 10 their distlngui ehed guest for the h"nor of his visit. After a few remarks from Chairman Thompson urging the citizens to take purt and uaaint in bringing about early development ot High Grade and ex presHing hia good opinion of the camp, the meeting ad iourned and the audience departed very much elated over what they hud heard and over the realization ot the proljutitity of a gold producing cun.p within a few miles of Lakeview. In regard to Professor Storma' trip through the High Grade District and the prnpertica vixited, we lake the following, from lunt week's High Grade News : Arriving in ciimp on Monday evening Mr. Storms whs greeted by a large number of business men and citizens, who accorded to him the liberty of New Pino Creek. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Storms rnxdo n flying trip through the diatrict In a bugRy, uccompnied by Hon. Henry Wendt, Jr., pnstmiwtcr at Now Pine Creek, and K. Chopin Oard, editor of To the Citizens of Lakeview ! During the meeting of the Central Oregon Development League to be held here next week, we would ask that the Citizens open their homes and give the glad hand to all visitors, and show them that the residents of this enterprising town and fertile valley are the most hospitable people to be found anywhere in Oregon. Lawn Party A delightful lawn party was given Tuesday night by tbe voung ladies of tbe G. G. G. Club at tbe Kice borne in North Lakeview. About aeventeen couples were in attendance, and all re port a very enjoyable time. The grounds were tastefully decorated for tbe affair and the night proved ideal for tbe occasion. The lawns were beautifully illuminated by scores of Chinese lanterns bnng from tbe trees. The three letters "G. G. G." sugges tive of the cluj decorated tbe en trance to the grounda. Outdoor games and amusements wete indulged in until a late boor in the evening. LOVING CUP IS OFFERED BY HILL Best Agricultural Display Next Week Will Get a Handsome Trophy this ,-nper, who spent a week in San Fram inco a month ago arranging for this vittit of Mr. Storms to the district. The Fort Bidwell Consolidated Mine was first visited, and every courtesy was e itended Mr. Storms and party by Mine Manager Cummings and Mill Manager Binns. Under instructions from their superiors these gentlemen were compelled to refuse Mr. Storms the privilege ot injecting the Moun tain View workings, on account of trouble with people who seek to guin cheap ii'rtorioty oprcutiiig in the capa city ui "claim jumpers."

Brewster, manager of the Prinveilie base ball team stating that his team would enter providing the purses would be as advertised. They can rest assured of thia tact, so they are considered aa entered. The com mitteo sent out telegrams Tuesday to ball nines in neighboring towns and it ia expected that numerous returns will soon begin coming in. The tourna ment will not be closed until a late date and it is expected that several teams will enter between now and that time. BIG REAL ESTATE BEAL TRANSACTED Lano and Arthur Buy W.

Mrs. Beeson is a relative of Mrs. M. Whorton, Mrs. Koozer and MJss Nyswaner. Tbe partv started out to visit Crater Lake but continued the trip to Bend, Northern Lake County and to Lake view and yesterday morning left for Klamath Fails. The total distance they will have made after reaching Talent will be about 1 50 miles. All were very much pleased with the country they had seen and especially that of Lake county, Lakeview and this valley. On the trip they viaited towna that mark the terminus of three separate and dis tinct railroad lines: the S. P. at Klain- th Falls, North Bank at Bend and the N.-C.-O. at Lakeview. They report all theBe towns to bo progressing but strongly predict a great future for this place, and after seeing the favorable grade from Bend Bouth, are strong in the belief that we will te placed on DUTY TOWARD A COMMERCIAL CLUB Election of Officers Post poned Until Next Meet ing:, September 9th mill and a one-half interest in 4500 head of sheep, Dave Jones retaining the other half interest in the Hock. This large tract ot land contains con siderable valuable timber and makes an ideal range for stock. The bbw mill will probably be leaned out to other parties. The consideration has not been made publio tut such a tronaction would represent a large amount of money. It ia said that ill health was the reason for Mr. WilBhire selling thepnperty and that he expects to move to California in hopes that the change will benefit bim. That such men bs Messrs. Lane and Arthur would invest their money in local property is sufficient evidence that they have all confideuca in the future Mr. Beeson says tne roads are in splendid condition for motoring from Bend to Lakeview and says be is going to tell hia frienda in Rogue River and Willamette valleys that they will never know what an automobile was made for until they have the pleasure of driving over such a stretch of level country as he found on this trip through Lake cqunty. ' Tbe Alturas Plaindealer of last week says a augar beet factory ia an assured fact for that place. It anya that the (mention of capital bus been settled and tnnt work will begin next year. of the country and it ia gratifying to pened know that they will be active in bring' ing about its early development. Last Mondav night finished the first year of the work of the present organ ization of the Lakeview Commercial Club and according to previous announ cements a meeting waa held for the purpose or electing officers tor the en suing year. It Is very regrettable that only abcut a dozen members turned out to assist in the election and as a consequence by motion. It waB decided to postpone election of officers until the next regular meeting, September 9. In the meantime a committee will probably be appointed to interview the business men of the town to get their sentiments on the maintainance of a Commercial Club fos Lakeview. As stated before in these columns the present commercial club has accom plished invaluable good during the ad ministration of ita officers, but the fact that they have teen laboring against uncalled for adversities is very ap parent, and it ia folly for a few to try to support a commercial club without at least the assistance of a majority of the City's populace. Thia solicitation will be made to determine whether or not they want a commercial club and whether or not they want to share in tie responsibility nf selecting its officers. And then if any mistakes are made they will not be the mistakes of a few. The meetings of the Commer cial Club are free for all, regurdless of memership in the organization, and the election of o Ulcers will be no ex ception. In another column ia mention of an extremely low rate to be effective over the N.-C.-O. Ry. during the Western ColonistB period. The inauguration of this move means more toward gett ing people interested in this section than anything that ban previously hap- But what good will it do to bring people here if we have no Com mercial organization to meet them and In response to an inquiry made a few weeks ago, last week Attorney W. Lair Thompson received a letter from Louis W. Hill of tbe great Northern in re gard to offering a prize cup for tbe best agriculal exhibit at tbe Meet ing of the Central Oregon Develoo ment League. Following ia an ex tract from the letter. : "We shall be glad to give a cup tor the exbibit that will best show Ore gon's resources. I shall ask Mr. Leedy to forward tbe cup at once." In conclusion of the letter, Mr. Hill adds : "i hope that I may be atle to run down to attend your meeting, Monday Mr. ibompson received a letter from E. C. Leedv, General Im migration Agent of tbe Great Northern lines stating that a cup to be awarded for tbe best individual agricultural dis play would be forwarded within a few days. No specifications were made as to the nature of tbe cud to be given away, but the Hill system is in the habit of giving these prizes and it is needless to add that the trophy will be a handsome one. In Mr. Hill's letter be suggests that in consideration for tbe cup that they might have the privilege of taking for exhibition nurposes tbe exhibits competing for the cup. They are now securing exhibits to be displayed at tbe big Minneapolis Land Show and Lake county samples will be used for tnat purpose. This will afford a most bene ficial method for Lake county to adopt and there is no auestion but that Mr. Hill's request will be cheerfully com plied with by all. bailyWrTor leaguemeeting Examiner Will Publish a Four Page Paper Begin nine: Tuesday Beginning next Tuesday and con tinuing for five days up to Saturday night during the entire doings at tb meeting of the Central Oregon De velnpment League, the Examiner will publish a four page, six column daily paper. Arrangements will probably be made with the associated press service to furnish a se.eral hundred word report daily so as to give the people the out side happenings right off the wire. Uf course this is a pretty largo un dertaking but the Examiner feels that if it figures as a factor in making the Development I. (.ague meeting a huge success and plays any part in bringing about t!ie development of this gieat Goose Lake Valley and Lake county, it will be auipiy rewarded for its efforts. Following ia a copy of prospectus of Lakeview High School, compiled by tbe City School Board to give tbe school public a general and brief outline of the condition and purposes of tbe new High School: BUILDING Feeling and knowing that Lakeview needed a goodi op to date school build ing the citizens of tbe diatrict bonded tbemaelvea for a sufficient amount to erect just such a one with tbe re sult tbat tbey bave one of tbe moat complete school structure in the State.

Tbe rooms are well lighted and ful ly fitted with electric lights for night work. The grounds are ample containing eight acrea which will make a beauti ful campus, and athletic field.
