'Ihi various committees are now hard at work, and the many stunts they are planning will sure prove a record-breaker for cele brations in Lake Countv. The parades will prove interesting, while the many prizes to te offered will bring out numerous contestants ia every claps. There will be all kinds of races, from the ordinary sack race to ssddleborse races. hile the parade of the Plug Uglies will be a marked feature when it comes to fun.

WORK WILL BE STARTED WILL COMPLETE SOUTH DREWS CANAL THIS YEAR J. F. Hanson Receives struction and Work Will Be Moving By June 1st Water For Next Year's Crops Dirt ia soon to fly on the South Drews canal, such la the official Information that cornea from G. W. Itice, chief engineer of the Goose Lake Valley Irrigation Company. J. F. Hanson of the Hall Construc tion Co. was awarded the contract some time ago for excavation of that part of the work, but was not until last week instructed to begin. He is now making all preparations in the way of securing crews and baying feed and supplies to establish bis con struction camp. He expects to start work on the upper end of the canal and will probably be In all readiness to begin by Jane 1st. Inasmuch as water cannot be made available for this year, Mr. Hanson will devote the entire aeason to digging tbe canal, but gives positive assurance that it will be in readiness for carrying water for next eason's crops. There are about 14 miles of the South ditch, which lada from the mouth of Drews canyon to the state line. While tne right of way over thia division baa nearly all been adjusted, there remaina some little portions which probably have to be settled by condemnation proceedings, and hence work in no way will be retarded from this stand point. The linea and grades of the canal will be resurveyed, and Engineer Fraim will be started in a few days on this portion of the work as soon as he returns from the com pany's surveying camp in the Chewau can valley. It will require about 1500 feet of tluming at the mouth of Drews canyon LOCAL RANCHERS GET DAIRY FEVER More Cows Likely to be Shipped In From California Since actual work has commenced on tbe Lakeview Creamery several local people are getting the dairy fever, among them being Walter Paxton, Henry Leehman and F. U. Bunting. It is reported that some of thcBe be sides other local people will go to Cal ifornia and take advantage of the low price of dairv stock in that section and import some good strains of cattle. J. K. Hanson, who Shipped in 36 bead of Holttelns. informs the Exam iner tnat be paid S12 for calves, $22 tor yearlings, and $55 for cows, or an average of about live cents a pound. He also stated that it cost him about 15 per head to have the cattle shipped in. Mr. Hanson said that he could have in all probability secured the cat tle at a cheaper price had he more time while there. I These cows, Mr. Hanson said, oouid not be bought for S100 a head provid ing the drought had not hit the valleys in our reighbor state. Some reports have reached here that dairy cowa can be bought in some parts of Caliiornia lor $25 per head. Those whu are con templating buying ttoek should inves tigate tne mutter at once as tbe' feed la very scarce and caUlu are sa'"l to te shrinking quite badly. Mr. Hanson Disced hie stcok cm p-uture as soon as they arrived ami they are now looking fine. With all thu grten feed In thia valley going to watte and cows ktarvirg in j California , the rppoitonity is certain-1 ty gri'Ht to profit hy the old adage! "one man's loss is another's gain." j Orders to Begin Con to divert water from tbe creek to South Drews Canal. Tbe lumber is now be ing aawed for tbe purpose of finishirg all fluming in tbe canyon, and every proportion is being shaped to complete the entire project this year. The Drews dam has reached tbe point where there are but the finishing touches to be added, it being completed within less than four feet of the top. E. S. Berney of tbe Bernev Con struction Company, building tbe dam, will soon start the pile driver on the fluming at Cottonwood. He ia now in Fallon, Nev., and will probably bring up some carpenters on bis return to complete the flume in the canyon. The contract that was let to saw 600. 000 feet of lumber will provide suffi cient material to complete all fluming in the cannon and furnish dimension stuff for fluming in the valley. The ir rigation Company ia now negotiating as to whether they will use wood or steal flumes for this part of the worn, and in the event auch method ia adopt ed, practically enough lumber will be on hand for the entire project. Absolute assurances of water for the West Side r.ext year will be hailed with much delight by every citizen of the valley. It means the opening of a new era of development and an influx of settlers. No better news for the country can be given out. The Goose Lake Valley Irrigation Company will have one ot the finest projects in the country when completed and the 60,000 acrea of land that it taps will open one ot the richest and most promising farming sections in the entire west.

Boosts High Grade The Denver Mining Record says that N. E. Cuyot would soon start for High Grade. Mr. Cuyot has unbounded faith in the camp, and ia well satisfied with the showings made in his property this winter. Workings ar. down 200 feet, and the lead at that depth is all that could be wished, from the viewpoint of an expert miner. He told the Rec ord that if High Grade waa in Colo rado 10,000 men would be at work. ROBINSllOS.

Oregonian : The little business that is passing in the Oregon wool market now is practically on a free-wool baa is. A number of clips were bought ia the past few days at pricea ranging from 1 1-2 and 2 cents under last year's market. Some consignments arc alse being made to Boston. No large quan tity bas been either sold or consigned, however, and it ia only odd lota that are being disposed of. The growers are not showing a gen eral inclination to let go at thia time, prefering te hold their clips for the oubilc sales days, when tbe dealers be lieve the offerings will be on a free scale. lhe same inactivity prevails in the valley. Dealers are willing to take bold at 13 12 and 14 cents for coarse and 16 cents for menium, but these terms are not satisfactory to farmers. Some contracts have been placed in Idaho at prices ranging from 13 and 14 1-2 cents. Wyoming is atill quiet and it ia believed consignments from that state will be heavy. A few pur chases are reported from Utah. In Southern Utah but little wool remains to be sold. California buyers have bought Nevada wool at 12 cents.- An other Nevada clip was bought by a Boston firm at an estimated clear cost of about 50 cents landed. GOVERNOR SIGNS AN1MLIEN BILL Referendum IsThieatened on New Callfor- ' nia Law i Un Monday of this week Governor Hiram Johnson of California signed the alien land bill, against which Japan protests, and which tbe Califor nia legislature passed by an overwhelm ing majority over the remonstrances of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. The act will go into effect 90 days from date, or on August 17. ' Governor Johnson, after signing the bill, gave out the following statement: "I repeat what I have before said: California for tbe first time in ita his tory bas an anti-alien law. Any man who wishes another kind of law may coaistently invoke the initiative. No man who really wishes an anti-alien law, will sign a referendum as to this law. , "If another law is sought, it may be presented by means of tbe initiative. In the meantime the present law will be in operation. To tie op tbe present law means no law until Nov ember. 1914." A San Francisco news dispatch, dat ed before Johnson signed tbe bill, gives out tbe information that as soon as news is received that the bill is aigned petitions for a referendum on the law would be sent to the printer. Secretary Bryan bas already handed Ambassador Chinda tbe reply of the United States government to the Japanese protest against California legislation, but no part ot the retort was made public. Memorial Services Arrangements are being made for Memorial Day to be fittingly observed in Lakeview this year. Such is the sentiment expressed by A. V. Orton, J. W. Mikel and J. D. Hugbes who will take the initiative in the ceremonies. Aocording to the plana outlined there will be a memorial sermon, and exer cises held in the Snider Oners House on Memorial Day, May 30. A parade to the cemetery will also included, and those who have charge of arrange ments request automobile owners to provide conveyance to the cemetery for the cnildren. Mrs. C. A. Watson will have charge of receiving flowers and persona desiring to furnish these will see Mra. Watson. Members of the band have promised to donate their aervlces in furnishing musie for tbe occasion. Next week announcements of the complete pro gram will be made in the Examiner. i i ,r
