Wheeler, Jr. and brother were li'. ftom the Dry Cret k dm Monday and leported that work la progreaaing smoothly on tho project. Two aix-horae loads of bolt and drift pine to be uned on the rock filled erib were haul ed out lent week preparatory to begin ning construction on that part of the work. The crib will be built of huge log, the tint tier to be bolted to the bed rock foundation and subsequent layers to be securely fastened to each other with drift pin. Cement ha alo been taken out to uae In chinking the logs together ao as to be water tight. The crib will be tilled with rock and Mr. Wheeler tblnka thla contrivance will be sufficiently adeauate to conserve all the wator supply that Mows in the stream. According to the present rate of pro gress of the work it looks reaHonable that the dam will be In rcadines to bold water tor next year's orop. A NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEHJR9R TOWN Cheap and Sanitary Meth od of Seweragro Disposal Inaugurated in Lakevlew One of the serious problems that has confronted civilized nations for many years has been that of a sewer age system that would dispose of the filth and sewage without being some what a menace to the health ot the populace. Grout systems of drainage have been intitallcd but acme where there must'be an outlet and that outlet baa been a great cause for contention as it caupea by its germ laden condition an un healthful community In which to live and, as ia the cane of the Thames river in England, the waters are so poisoned that even the water life is diseased. So serious has been the con dition thut France and England nearly a half a century ago investigated the matter and set about trying to solve the problem. Another pioble'n to be sovled was that ot having a safe sew age deposit for the home when it was isolated Irom a sewerage system. The cesspool wsh tried with more or less siiccchr tut everyone knows that a cess pool as commonly made ia only a tem porary make shift and greatly unsani tary. Perhaps England was the first country to find a scientific remedy for the ditliculty and France was a close second. These peoplu found that un der certain conditions nature had pro vided a scavungor for the filth ot this kind as well aa for the land and the sea. After some experimenting it was found IhHt a tank could be built which under certain conditions would propa gate a peculiar kind of germ or mi crobe and these little aniniuU aa scav RrTcrl wn'ild so literally eradicate and cleanse the tilth that by using filter the water proceeding from the tank would be from H5 to 95 per cent pure and have no disagreeable odor at all. In tact it is more nearlv pure than much of the water thut is used for drinking purposes. For some lime this matter was rather a secret, and both in England and trance the septic tank business be came quite un inaustry. So much was this septic tank used that in these countries, towns of 20,000 people use this 6ystcm of sewerage with great success. Later the secret became known and tbe method of building the tanks was cheapened until it is not at all uncom muu in those countries' to have the household septic tank which ia not connected with any great system. Many books and scientiflo papers were written on the subject and now the matter is bo widely known that many localities In the United States are using the tanks. One of the large tanks built in Lake Coutiuuod uu page eight SCHOOLS ARE NOW OPEN TWO HUNDRED-EIGHTY PUPILS ENROLL THE FIRST DAY Beginning of Best Schjol Year in History of LakeviewBuilding and Corps of Teachers Make Educational Facilities Unexcelled Two hundred and eighty school child ren responded to the ring of the bell last Monday morning that sounded the opening of the 1912-13 s.:hool year. The fore Dart of the week kept the in structors busy in outlining different courses for the term and getting every thing In shape lor the best school year ever in I.akeview. The new iligb School building with all ita modern con veniences tnd equipment and the pri mary department on the public school grounds with the competent corps of teachera give assurance that Lake view is beginnirg with educational facilities that cannot be excelled in any of the citiea many times its size. The meratxrs of th school hoard, Judge B. Daly, chairman; ably second ed by Merchant Harry bailey and Druggist A. L. Thornton, and Mrs. Chas. Umnach clerk, are deserving of unlimited credit for the accomplish ments they have made in advancing achool conditions In Lakeview. In the employment of City Superintendent O. M. Uraduer, of Forest Grove, Oregon, they have secured one of the most able instructors in the state. This is vouched for by the record be has made in this capacity in schools throughout the state. And the manner in which be has taken hold of the Lakeview High School in furnishing the building and getting down to real work in so short a time shows that he is a Master Hand. Following is a list of number of pupils enrolled at the beginning of SEVERAL MUTTON BUYERSJN FIELD Sales Are Somewhat Slow But Prospects Favorable for Deals in Near Future The sheep market is not very brisk at present, althoueh aeveral sales have tuken place of lambs and wethers. The price ranges, at least so it ia reported, from $2.75 for lambs to S3. 25 for two- year-old wethers. Doubtless choice lambs would bring better prices, as would also fine matton. II. P. Carev. buyer fr Miler & Lux, has made about nil the purchases thus far, although there are other buyers in the field. He this week purchased W. J. Parman's lambs, consisting of about 1700 head, and also several hundred wethers. The price has not been made public. Mr. Carey this morning left for Reno and will not return until the latter part of next week. It is likely that the market will liven up shortly and that a number of sales will be reported in the very near future. Surplus Money Divided A meeting held in the Court House last night that waa called bv W.

GRAIN IS GIVING PROSPEROUS YIELD One Field of Barley Gives 41 Bushels Per Acre on West Side Keports come from tbe West Side that the threshing season ia under full way and grain ia giving a good yield. U. F. Arthur nad 40 acres of barley that averaged 21 bushels per acre and had one small field of wheat that went 31 bushels to the acre. This ia an ex ceptionally good yield for wheat, and is an indicator of what a profit can b made on that product in this country under anything like favoraole condi tions and with a fair test, and proper furminkf. A ten acre p tch of Parley on the George Neleon place threshed 41 bush els to the acre. This for drv farming Bhows the plowman that wealth lies in soil that will produce 41 bushels ot barley to the acre, and if only one half this yield is ottained, figure the enor mous returns to be gotten from 160 acres of carefully farmed land in the Goose Lake Valley. Thresher For Reservation The tirst steam threshing outfit for the Klumath Indian Reservation will be In working order within a short time, says the Klamath Northwestern'. Indian Agent Watson gave out this information yesterday. Hd stHted that he had placed an order with the Gov ernment for a steam threshing outnt for the use of the Indians and that the order had been honored. He expects it o arrive within time for use for this year's crop. Several threshing machines have been used on tbe reservation, hut all have been out of date machines. Since the Klamath Indians havo reached the point where they are farming on lar ger sualeB than in ioimtr years this method of threshing their grain has proved too alow and the latest model threbhiiig machines and steam engines have become r.ecessary. 'JUDGE GALE SAILS FOR MANILA, P. I. Purchased Home In Port land Where Family Is Located For Winter The Examiner ia in receipt of a let ter from Herbert U.

RAILROAD MAN PRAISESJMTRY Amar'ee Moran Says N.-C.-O. Ry. Will Keep Up With Country's Growth Anent the visit to Reno of A. D. Moran of the N.-C.-O. Ry., who came from New York City to attend tbe annual meeting of the board direc tors of the company, and who last week in company with T. F. Dunaway made a trip to Lakeview, tbe Nevada State Journal of September 13, gives tbe following: After bis annual visit to Reno on tbe occasion of tbe meeting of tbe board of directors of tbe Nevada-Caiitornia-Oregon railway, A. D. Moran returned from a trip rof inspec tion over tbe road yesterday and de clares himself well satisfied with the condition of the property and the tribu tary country. Mr. Moran is treasurer of tbe com pany, and with u. Lomyn Moran, practically owns the property, and has for a number of years. Up to two years ago Moran brothers also owned the Texaa Central, whicn has been sold to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Kail way company. Mr. Morn, on his last trip, was accompanied west by Colonel Hamilton, a friend and adviser in busi ness, and today will leave for New York. "We do not contemplate any startling move in the near future," said Mr. Moran last night. "Our purpose ia to make the road a standard road of its kind, and we consider tbe road from Aituras to Davis Creek standard. There is no plan to broad guage tbe road. We believe it will serve the needs ot the country fully, and it is our purpose to make it always serve the needs of the country tnrough which the road travels. "The country through which the road travels brings many opportunities for the settler, between Amadee and Likely, experts some time ago advised the people the soil waa well adapted to sugar beet rulture. The exoeriment has been tried with good results and it has given an impttua to tbe settlement of 'hbt region. "We have not attempted much in the line of colonizing. There is litera ture out which describes the opportu nities of the wett, but we believe the best advertisement is the prosperous settler. If a hundred men go into that country and make a success and they will not be much good it they can't thev will write tack and bring a thousand more. Tbe work is slow to start, but with such a country when it ia well started, it will keep on of its own merit. 'Tractlcally everything but corn can be raised in that country and it is a fur different country from that whic rirst met my eyes. This waa my first trip by train to Lakeviuw. although I had been there before, using other means of travel.

EXAMINER LINES LANDTHE GOODS Lost Horse Is Found Through Insertion of a Small Want Ad The value of newspaper advertising demonstrates itself many times a week to the man who is in close touch with the business world, and more especially the newspaper man. 'lhe newspaper man sees iht anxious man bring his "ad" to be inserted in the paper that will take bis little story into hundreds and thousands of homes and business houses. Afterwards he sees or hears of tbe answer and results tbe advertiser receives from people in response to tbe very thing tbat the ad vertiser desires, and in a manner that both he and inquirer are mutua'ly bene fitted.
