THE LOSTll
COHINBTO-NIGIIT
Alturas Talent Will Afford
Good Entertainment for
People of Lakeview
The AltursH Plaindcaler (rives the
following account of the "Lost Mine"
dramH which was ulaycd last week in
Alturas :
"A lull house greeted the Alturas
Dramatic Club, Friday evening in the
rendition of the "Lout Mine." The
play in a charming little piece and,
without flattery, we can truly snv was
well rendered. This fact wsh evi
denced by the sHntaneous and nearty
applause which greeted the players
at everv turn. Abounding in many
bright lines, the striking features of
the play were brought out with true
dramatic effect, an I a belter pleaded
audience never left the hall tliHii upon
that Friday night. We ure not going
to attempt to give any particular credit
where all was excellence. In line, the
play was a good oi.e and was rendered
with pleasing effect, each one of the
player sustaining their separate char
acters in a most creditable manner."
The dramatic troupe will arrive in
Lakeview today noon and this evening
will present the "Lot Mino" at the Sni
der opera house. Press accounts speak
in glowing terms of (he aliility with
which the drama is reproduced by the
talent ol our neighboring city and no
doubt will meet with hearty approval
here.
Agent Class, of the N.-C.-O. Railway
through whose efforts a one fare for the
round trip, waa secured informs the
Examiner that about CO people have
signified their intentionsof coming from
Alturas alone, and as tho low rata alBo
effects all points along the road between
Lakeview and Alturus, It la epxeeted
that thia number will be greatly in
creased. The viaitora are allowed a
five day return limit, and as the Antlers
Club ball and dedication of the Ilery
ford building will take place here Fri
day evening it ia expected that the
guests will remain over for this prom
ising event.

NEW LAW SAID TO
Many Changos Made In
Oregon's Fish and
Gamo Codes
The following interview with Stat
Game Warden Fmley in regard to the
new game laws enacted by the recent
legislature appears in the I'ortland
Journal: The new state game code is
meeting much favor at the hands of
hunters and anglers throughout the
state, according to Game Warden Fin
ley arid others instruments! in the pas
sage of the measure last week at the
legislature.
"The new law Is much better than
the present one, which is full of errors
and inconsistencies." said Mr. Finley.
"This one is comparatively uniform and
hut tor the eutting the bill receive! I n
the legislature it would now stand en
tirely satisfactory to everyone. We
are not satisfied with It enlirelv. but
in general it ia all right."
The hunting and fishing statutea are
placed on a new basis, In that the state
gives permission aa to who shall hunt
and under which conditions game shall
be hunted. Un .er the old code, trie
opposite stand was tsken. It stated
that one coild hunt, except as forbid
den. The new law gives the state full
ownership of all game.
The code forbids absolutely the sale
of any kind of game or fish. This does
away with the period of one month in
the fall when ducks may be Bold and
tour months during the winter when
geese may be sold in addition to the
montha for the sale of game flsh. It
allows, however, the vale of game,
that has been raised in captivity. Thia
latter prartice is being encouraged by

COY WILSON DIES
OF APPENDICITIS
Young Man's Llfo Is Snif
fed When Opportunity
Blooms
W. C. (Coy) Wilson died last Thurs
day evening at the J. C. Shellhammcr
ranch at Crooked Creea north of Lake
view, of appendicitis. Mr. Wilson
was n young man in the prime of life,
being in his 22nd year, lie was born
in Knnice, North Carolina. April 23,
1890, and came to Lake County four
years ago.
He with his brothers, Andy and
Cleve had the Jonas Norin fheep leaeeo
and the unfortunate voung man was on
the desert with the sheep when taken
ill with the disease that proved fata)
lie had made about 40 miks of the
trip to Lakeview on horseback when he
reached the Shellhammcr place and
was unable to proceed farther. Urs.
Smith and F.verctt were summoned
early Thursday morning and the
physicians performed an operation on
the patient, but without avail, owiig
to the rvrious development of the
ailment coupled with the severe hard
ship of making the long trip from
the desert. '
The remains were brought tu Lane
view where they were embalmed at the
Wallace" Undertaking Parlors and
Monday morning wpre shipped to his
home in Norlh Carolina.
His two brothers accompanied tho
remains. Before leaving Lakeview
the surviving brothers adiuHted their
business matters here, having trans
lerred their Tease to Mr. Norin, who
will run the sheep. Andy Wilson will
relurn here after the funeral and enter
the employ of Mr. Nrin at his ranch
south of this city, while Cleve intends
to remain permanently in his home
stale.
It is indeed a sad ending of a brignt
and promising career of a young
man whore ambitions spurned him
across an entire continent to earvo for
himself a fortune from a new bind of
opportunities. All hopes were blasted
in death. Tho silver cord is loosed,
the golden bowl ia broken, the duet
has relumed to the earth su it was;
the spirit has returned to God who
gave it.

LAKE OFFICIALS
AREENEFITTED
The County Sheriff and
Treasurer Get In
crease of Salary
According to the Oregonian one veto
of a county salary bill by the Governor
because be declared that the Gill Dill
would provide for such salaries, give a
fair indication of the operation of the
Gill, or the Governor's bill.
The vetoed bill in question provide!
for the salary of certain officers of
Lake Countv. Under the vetoel kill
as passed over the Governor's bead,
the County Judge will receive S700 a
year. Under the Gill bill, which the
Governor advocated, he would have re
ceived 11400 a year. The Governor's
salary bill would give this official
twice as much aa the bill enacted by
the Legislature, but at the same time
the bill parsed by the Legislature was
vetoed because it interfered with thia
doubling of a county salary.
As a still further comparieon in the
same country : Under the bill passed
by the Legislature the Treasurer will
receive $1000 annually, while under the
Gill bill he would receive $1400, or MOO
more.
The bill passed by the Legislature
provided for more adequate compensa
tion for the Sheriff than did the Gill
bill, but the increased provision was
made because of the immensity of the
county and the necessity for the sheriff
to pay his traveling expenses. In a
county as vast as Lake County, it was
pointed out that to travel for 100 miles
or so to serve one summons or subpoena
would cost the Sheriff a large sum of
money which would come out of bis
salary and for which expenses no other

ART COLLECTION
Painting Exhibit Will Open
at the Hlgti Scoool
This Afternoon
The famous Turner Art Exhibit from
Boston baa arrived and is on display
at the High School Assembly Room.
The exhibit consists of over 200 of the
most famous paintings of ancient and
modern times, many in the exact colors
of the originals: All are the most
faithful reproductions taken direct
from the originals.
The following favorable comment on
this rare collection of art shows the
popularity w'th which the paintings
met in the larger cities:
Ohio State Journal : Governor Bush
nell delivered an address at the public
school art exhibition last evening. He
complimented the management on
the exhibit, and the ladies of the city
who had brought it here, for theit en
terprise. He also spoke very highly of
the pictures and the interest taken in
them by the school children.
Detroit Free Press: During the
week about 25,000 citizens and school
children have been in attendance at
the exhibition of pictures.
The entire fund received through the
sale ot tickets comes back into the
schools in the purchase of pictures,
and the philanthropic citizens could
not better perpetuate their good will
aud intercut in the education of the
children than by helping this move
u.ent in school room decoration, which
is engaging the attention of many
earnest people in other cities.
The Art Exhibit at the High School
will be open to the Public Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday afternoons and
evenings. Admisuion Adults 25 cents
and children 10 cents. One admission
covers the entire season.
The following program will be render

ROAD WORK PLANS
WILL DEJJTLINED
New System to Be Inaugu
rated for Pay of Road
Employes
A call has been issued for all road
supervisors of Lake County to meet
with the County Court Thursday,
March 20, when road construction work
for the county will be thoroughly dis
cussed and plana outlined for highway
improvement this year. Mnch road
work waa accomplished last year which
fact is attested by the numerous re
ports of the good conditions of county
roads this spring.
While the tax le vy for road purpose
this year is one half mill lower than
last. County Judge Daly says there
will be as much money expended thia
year in actual road construction and
Improvement, aa last, because of the
supply ot steel culverts and machinery
now on band.
A new system for the pay of employ
es on county rosds will be inaugurated
this season which will doubtless prove
an improvement over the former way
of handling such claims. Each Super
visor will be provided with an order
book, and he will furnish at every
week end each employe with a certifi
cate showing the number of hours
worked together with the rate and to
tal. These certificates will be Sled
with the County Clerk and acted upon
by the County Court at the regular
sessions.
Heretofore some little friction has
arisen out of delays to present bills
for road work and It ia oelieved that
this certificate system will eliminate
any such trouble aa they will be made
out and presented weekly while the
work is actually being done.

REMAINING QUIET
Little Business In North
west; Boston Has De
cline In Values
The Portland Journal gives the fol
lowing in relation to the wool market :
There is a weaker feeling all through
the wool trade. Little business has
passed at Pacific northwest points
recently. Buyers scarcely are able to
ascertain the price they could profit
ably offer and for that reason are mak
ing no bids at all. The small amount
of mutton sheep 'that has been shorn
recently has been a drag upon the
market and most of it is being unsold
by country interests.
The situation at the present time is
entirely tha making of the bearish
eastern mills which are trying to in
fluence the market downward so that
they can secure the bul of the clips
for less money within the immediate
future.
The following special report of the
Boston market was received by wire
from the Journal correspondent:
"Further declines in values and larg
er sales are the features of the Boston
wool market. The market has not
broken badly but holders are more witl
ing to sha le prices epecially on Buch
grades as are in over supply. Total
sales for the week are well up to 200,
000 pourda, the largest week's tuslress
for some time. Most of this wool has
been sold at figures under receipt quo
tations. "The advance reported from 'The"
London sales' which opened Tuesday
counter-balances some hat the bearish
trend here. Manufacturers have teen
taking wool freely but generally at
lower prices than have previously
been made this season. In peine rases
actual losses to tne sellers are shown.
Fortunately for the wool men their
stock! are runnirg low, consequently
losses will be limited."

ous Toledo Si bIc, has on exhibition at
