To the Editor: Noticing that the County High School Funi Law Is on the ballot tor Lake County, it haa oc curred to mo that you might like an article on how this la working in other counties. This law waa passed by the legisla ture of 1009, and la now operating in seven counties. The idea of tho law is io give high school advantages to every girl and toy In the county, irre spective of where he li.ea. The fund created by thbi high school law li used to pay the tuition of high school students where ever located in the county to any high school in the county or to any high school that may have been organized. If under twenty atudjnts attend one high school the district receives forty dollars per stu dent an annual tuition; for the second twenty they receive thirty dollars each ; and after forty twelve and one-half dol lars each. With the sure and steudy growth of this county, more towns will grow up and this law will make it possible for these towns to have high schools. It a I no 'rakes possible high schools for rural district. The law has had a wholesome effaet wherever tried, and la making Oregon take the lead in high school attendance. With an up lo date hlgti school course of study, tiers la mi reason why Lake cnuntv cannot draw and hold settlers trom an educational standpoint aa well as Its natural r. sources. Assistant U. S.

Hut the tolsl paid any district shall riot exceed the amount paid by tho dis tnct to the teachers rmpb yel therein." niKi. "No tuition shall be paid fur a high pupil to any dintrict, except to the dintrict In which his parent or guardaln shall tctually reside: provid ed, that tuition may be paid for a high school pupil to a district other than thu lexidvnce district of such pupil ; or if s ch pupil has completed the course ot ntudv offered in bis residence dis trict ; r r if he baa ollained the con sent of the county high school board to attend school In a district other than his residence district."

Surveys for the extension of the Weftern Pacific from points In West ern Nevada to Portland, to Pocatello, Idaho, and to Lna Angeles have been partially completed. The proposed route to Portland has been definitely determined on, say the Could line official. The survey haa been made as far north as Lakeview. Another ulitn to counteract the latest ilurriman move is for the Western Pacific to enter into an alliance with the Hill interests for extending the Oregon Trunk to a connection with the Westorn Pacific.

Hollenbeck had been watching a band of sheep owned by Dave Edler for two nights, and early yesterday morn ing he became so sleepy he laid down on a board near the hot water. It was warm th-jre and he stretched out at the very brink of the creek running from the boiling hut spring. lie does not kmw how long he slept or what time it was when he fell into the water, but it was nearly twelve o'clock when he was found oy Frank Bryant, who was walking along the govern ment ditch bank and heard his cries for help. Hollenbeck sys he was suddenly awakened by the hot water. He crawl ad out and dragged himself a long dis tance, crying for help. He thinks it was about two hours after be fell in before he finally was found by Bryant. Dr. George L. Wright was called to attend the injured man and had him taken to the hospital. Hollenbeck is scalded on one side from his feet to his head and the skin snd flesh are badly cooked and peeling off. The wster was only about six or se ven inches deep where Hollenbeck turn- blod in, and had it been deep enough to have covered his body he would probably never have been able to get out at ail. tion ot several matters. One is that you, by your pleas of guilty, saved the Court and the County the expense and annoyance of a trial. Another is that from such investigation, as I have been arle to make, neither t you before this have over had any record of wrong doing, or crime ; that you have made such restitution as is possible to the party fro-n whom the property was taken and injured: and I have also taken into consideration the tact that you are bath men of family, who doubt less need your presence, and your help, for their comfort and support. Some one has said that a man's good reputa tion is like a bank account,, a deposit on which he can draw in the hour of his need, but, like a bank account, it can be very easily squandered, and leave one very destitute indeed. You men ha;e been fortunate enough hitherto to have established, after and under ine law of other States, that have a parole system now, no man can be parolled for a second offense; they give him the one chance, where the Court deems he is entitled to it, just one chance to make good, and redeem his record and blot out the past. If he fails, then he is regarded as an enemy to society, and one from whom society shouli be pro'ected. As I say, your are both young men I.

"I cannot withal 1 an expression of horror," he said, "at the act of the muniai: who attempted to assassinate Colonel Roosevelt. "When I first expressed regret I was informed Roosevelt was then speaking and bad escaped injury. "The news later, however, shows his case to be much more serious than the early word indicated, and I feel the deepest sympathy for M Roose velt and his family. I pray the wound may prove only a flesh wcund, and that there will be no complications. "This assault, following the shooting of Mayor Gaynor and assassinations of three of the laat nine Presidents are events that must cause solemn reflec tion to all American citizens upon the conditions which make it possible for such dastardly deeds to occur in a country affording its citizens complete advantages for civil liberty. "It is difficult to avoid the purpose of the cunningly insane. A severe en forcement of the laws against conceal ed weapons and a more rigorous and certsln proseuction uf Buoh attempted crimes, whether they be against prom inent or inoonspioious people, would be holptul, but condemnation by good citizens ot such acts and their co-operation in preventing thu spread of vici ous doctrines which would exouse and palliate attempts to remedy fsncied wrongs by restoring to violence would be more effective. "1 speak for the whole American people in expressing the profound hope that Colonel Roosevelt willjedily re cover from the effect of the dastsrdly set." President Taft sent a wireless mes sage to Colonel Roosevelt, expressing hi deepest sympathy. The message said. "I am greatly shocked to hear of the outrageous and deplorable SBSsult uoon you. I earnestly hope and pray that vour recovery will be apeedy and with out suffering." In a wireless message to Mrs. Roose velt the President said : "I wish to extend my heartfelt syrn psthy to you in your present disfresa, and I earnestly hope and pray that you, your family and the Colonel may be promptly relieved of all suspense by the news that all danger is past.

HEN FRUIT IS A SCARCEARTiCLE Opportunity Good For Poultry Industry In This Section For some time it has been nearly im possible to buy an egg in this city. For some reason hen3 have about quit laying and what eggs are avail able have been kept by the owners of the hens for their own use. frice3 have not advanced materially, but will undoubtedly go up if the dearth continues. It is seldom that sufficient eggs to supply the demand are produc ed in this section, notwithstanding that it is well adapted to poultry raising and all who have attempted the busi ness have teen successful. The only chicken business that is done here is in conjunction with regular ranching and stock growing and no where in the county is there a place where the poultry industry is followed exclusively. Eggs in Lakeview are very seldom below the price of 25 cents per dozen, and this sometimes soars to 7o cents. The price for the product now, when obtainable, is 40 cents per dozen. Klamath Man Looses The United States government was given judgment for S18,6a'J against J. D. Hamaker and John Stindt jointly by Judge Wolverton ot the United Sta tes diBtriot court in session in Med ford. These sums are the value of timber cut from the public lands by Hamaker and Stindt, who, opreated a small portable sawmill in Lake county for a numoer of years. The government al lows every citizen to cut S50 worth of timber from public lands each year for bis own domestic use, and the sawmill operators claimed that they cut the timber under contracts from the set tlers, taking part of it as their pay ment. Judge Wolverton uphel j their defense, holding that the settlers had the light to make such contracts in ex- ercise of their right to cut timber to the value of $50 a year, but the amount of timber cut by Hamaker and Stindt exceeded the amount of such contrscts by nearly 2,000.000.000 feet, which Judge Wolverton held to be worth S10 a thousand.
