hare done a large business which we
I attribute not alone to the superior quality
ma
of our lines
especially to
operation of our customers. They have sent to us
their friends and we have numbered them among
our customers. Our business has thus grown
through honest and fair dealing, founded upon
satisfactory relations with our patrons.
Buying for cash, we are in a position to take
the advantage of all cash discounts.
By selling for cash, we eliminate the losses
incurred by bad accounts. Such losses add very
materially to the cost of conducting a business.
Thus we are in a position to serve our customers
with better merchandise at less cost.
We thank you very much for your patron
age during 1912, and hope to see you often dunn
ing 1913 at our store.
WISHING YOU AND YOURS A MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW
YEAR, we remain,
Sincerely yours to please,

SUBr-CKIBE FOR THE EXAMINER
to any
How a goodly portion of the nation's
wealth is dominated by coterie of
financie s was included In evidence
presented to the House committee In
vestigating the money trust. The great
banking company of J. Pierpont Mor
gan (V, waa held up as the alleged
"heart" of the combination.
The following brief dialogue was
bcld between Attorney Untermyer and
Mr. Morgan :
"Are you opposed to competition?"
Attorney Untermyer asked J. I'. Mor
gsn. "No." Morgan replied. "I like a lift e
of it, but I favor co-operation and con
centration. I want to talk about this.
It probably will be the last chance I
will have to say what 1 want to say.
I do not believe there is any wsy by
which one man can gain control of the
nation's money. Vou call this a money
trust. A man may own all the money
in Christendom but be cannot control
It."
"But," persisted Untermyer, "if
a competitor of the steel corporation
wanted to atari, and vou owned all the
banks in New York, wouldn't you want
to protest the steel company? Would
he get the money needed?"
"He would."
"But you have vast power" began
Untermyer.
"No," broke in Morgan. "I haven',
vat power. If 1 have, 1 don't feel
it."
"Haven't you seen instances of men
gaining great control and having
abused it?"
"Only io seme lines," answered Mor
gan. "I am talking of commerce not
of money. Commercial control is pos
sible, but not financial control."
Morgan's holdings of certain bank
stock he characterized as "not very
much about a million dollars."
Papers Will Be Graded
County School Superintendent J. Q.
Willits Monday left for Salem where
the papers submitted by the teachers
who took the examinations for state
certificates last week, were taken. 'I he
papers will be graded at the offices of
the superintendent of public instruc
tion. There were sixteen teachers
who took the examination for certifi
cates. Superintendent Willits conducted
the examination at Silver Lake while
Miss Docia Willits held the local ex
amination. There were nine applicants
at Silver Lake and seven h -re.
Professor Willits also held a teachers'
institute at Silver Lake at which four
teen teachers were present. He will
visit Portland before returning home. .
Rabbits are Plentiful
Rabbit shooting on the West Side is
now very much in vogue with local
nimrods. This pastime not only proves
of sport alone but serves as a benefit
to the country in general. The pests
are becoming quite numerous in that
section and if some means of exter
mination in not inaugurated they will
destroy a large amount of the crops
next year. The bounty on coyotes is a
detriment to farmers as when they are
plentiful the rabbits are scarce, they
being the covotes main source of liveli
hood. PARCELS REGULATIONS

KrhbCKlUE FOKTI1K EX A M I N K B
According to the Orcgonlsti a deal j State Senator-elect W. Lair Thomp
has been closed by the Southern I'aoi-ison of Lake county, who Is In the city.
Ho for SO miles ot right of way through
the Hunter Land Company's holdings
In Southern Oregon, the last foot of
ground for that purpose between Eu
gene end Klamath Falls has teen se
cured for the Natron-Weed ruteff.
The right of way just secured extends
on part or the old Oregon Military
road grant from Oiiell Lake to the
northern boundary of the Klamath In
dian Reservation. This section of the
land grant was taken over last year tv
the Hunter Land Co , in which Port
land and St. Paul capitalists are inter
ested. One of the terms of the deal
stipulates that the railroad company
shall set aside Ave station ground,
comprising an ares of 300x400 feet
each. The Ave stations to be provided
for along this right of wsv will bear
the names of Londroth, Rogers, Carroll,
Trowbridge and Whitfield.
With the construction of the cutoff
an immense territory will be served
with transportation facilities. Since
work has stsrted on the road thojsands
of homesteaders and settlera have es
tablished themselves in that district.
It is expected that the entire Silver
Lake and Fort Rock country, 30 miles
east of the road, will divert its traffic
to the new line instead of Kend, which
is about 75 miles distsnt from thst sec
tion. The Natron cutolT between Eugene
and Klamath rails is now about one
half completed. Contractor are at
work on the remaining unite and it .is
expected that the line will be com
pleted so that regular train service be
tween Portland and San Francisco can
te installed before the opening of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition to be held
at San Francia.'o in 1015.
Some Beef Steer
Hayes & Groo, ot the Lakeview
Meat Market, this week slaughtered
what is believed to be the largest beef
that waa ever raised in Lake Coutitv
it dressed out 1142 pounds, which is
certainly going some when it ia consi
dered that the average beef weighs less
than half that amount. The animal whs
raised by Antone Swartz of Cotton
wood, and was three years old.
Hayes & (J rob have another two-year-old
steer which they expect will dress
about 900 pounds. It also was raised
by Mr. Sartz. Many guesses were
made on the weight of the steer just
killed, but not a single one was up to
its weight.
To Reproduce Oanal
Probably one of the most Interesting
of the nianv great concessions that
will be seen at the Panama-Pacific in
ternational Exposition is the production
of the Panama canal on a gigantic
scale.
The concession will cost in the neigh-
! borhood ot S2.'il.0U0, and was granted
to Lewib E. Myers, well known en
gineer of Chicago. Mr. Meyers ia an
engineer and not showman. He visited
the canal zone to study its construction
and the idea came to him to perfect
means whereby the people of this
country could learn more about it. On
his return to this country he proceeded
to perfect and patent hi ideas. He
plans to truthfully reproduce the canal
and the surrounding country in a wea
ther proof building, with a glass roof.
Taxation Law Question
Whether the initiative measure passed
by the people exempting household
gooda from taxation is consitutional is
doubtful, but until the courts bold it
ii invalid it should be enforced. Under
this exemption assessments made on
household goods for 1912 cannot be col
lected. This ia the substance of an opinion
ot Attorney General Crawford, given
in reply to questions submitted by the
state tax commission. The question
raised was whether the repeal at the
recent election of Section A of Article
93, of the Constitution, this being the
county single tax amendment, and
failure of adopt two other amendments
to the constitution governing taxation,
did not make the household exemptions
law unconstitutional.
Cheap Hay
Blue Mountain Eagle, Canyon City:
Three dollar hay is a situation that
none would have evar predicted for
Grant county, and yet it has come to
pass. Hay hs been offered in the
lower end of the valley for three dol
lars and four dollars with pasture
thrown in has been quoted from several
parts of the county. It seems thst
when a cow brute is worth S2fi hay goes
up to 120 and when cattle are worth
something worth while no one has any
and the price of hay goes to $3 a ton.
Si.cn Is the cattle business.

j makes It clear that he is not com-
mltttd in hi choice for presidency
of the state senate. He insist, how
ever, that the speakership of the house
and president of the senate should no,
both come from Multnomah county,
says the Portland Journal.
Mr Thompson also declares there
has been no meeting of the eastern
Oregon delegation. While three mem
bers from eastern Oregon attended a
conference at Pendleton last week, fol
lowing which tnelr support was an
nounced for Pan J. Malarkey, the Lake
County Senator suggests, that four
eastern Oregon Senators were not hear 1
and he expresses the opinion that It
la Impossible to tell who they will sup.
port until all the eastern Oregon men
hsve conferred.
Thomoaon says he will urge the the
pasaago ot three bills vetoed by the
Governor after the adjournment of the
greatly needed for the advancement of
his ditttrict. One grants litle to cer
tain settlers on swsmp lands whose
title Is contented. Another provides
a method for reclamation of swamp
and lake landti, and the other calls for
more frequent terma of court, with an
increase of salary for Circuit Judgea.
The latter measure may be waived,
he says if the judicial revision bills
put the superior court system into
effect.
On the question of th senate presi
dency of the Lake county man made
the following statement:
"In my opinion claims that organiza
tion of the senate and house ia practi
cally effected by the coming session
of the Oregon legislature are just a
trifle premature. It la yet a month be
fore the legislature will convene in re
gular session and there ia plenty of
time for serious reflection over the
legislative organization that tins been
thus early effected through the press.
The newspaper reportn should leave
the impression that organization will
be unanimous with Suntor Malurkey
or niuunoman county presiding over
the senate, and Representative Mc
Arthur. also of Multnomah, presiding
over the house of representatives.
Multnomah county hen from the start
one-tilth of the voting strength of the
senate and house. The influence and
power of Multnomah's voting strength
in the legislature has often been pressed
home to 'cow country members in the
past. It is about equal to tne aggre
gate vote of the entire eastern Oregon
delegation. It is wine to increase
the power of Multnomah delegations by
giving to that c mnty thu presiding
officers of toth the Benute and house?
There is a wonderful power and In
fluence in the positions that leave its
impress on legislation.
"I have nothing but the warmest
personal friendship for both Mr. Mal
arkey and Mr. McArthur. but in mv
judgment it is poor business, for the
people of Oregon for the legislature to
select both of the presiding officers
from one legislative district. It is plea
sant to view legislation from the view
point of the idealist, but it ia not a
view that measures with history or the
facta. Legislators are human, and
measures of interest ami importance to
the particular district they represent
are likely to be magnified in impor
tance by them, and other legislation
minimized in importance in the same
degree.
