Watson Gives Address on Worth of Learning: On last Monday evening the Lake view Chautauqua Circle were enter tained at tne home of Mrs. Harry Uailey. After general discussion of the closing chapter of the years work refreshments were served and es pecial honors were paid the giaduating class of 19l3. The number who were graduated are Mrs. A. Hieber, Mine Gertrude Vernon and Mrs. J. D. Venator, before whom Mrs. C. A. Watson, in a most impressive manner delivered tne fol lowing addresH. "The subject selected for this even ing's discourse is A Little Learning Is a Dsngero'is Thing ' I can't say just where you will U id these words, but allow me to repeat them 'A Lit tle Learning is a Dangerous Thing,' however dont' anybody get afraid and runaway. Feel perfectly sufo for we still have with us our senior class. "It would be an awful thing to be here alone with our freshmen, for they truly have a little learning a very little. It would be a Utile less terrible to be here alone with our juniors for they have a still a little more learning than the freshmt:i. "While we feel and fully appreciate the magnitude ot the danger of little learning, wc must contrast things with the safety of much learning. A few have much and many have little learn, ing, making some of humanity safe and some necessarily unnssfe. Think Imliei, what a difference this makes in us and think what a great work this Chautaunua Circle is doing. Can you realize what a senior member tecomes at the time of graduation? A creature not dangerous because of little learn ing, but a creation whoso whole nature has been developed through this won derful training until she is perfectly safe through her much learning. "The class before us this evening is favored in many ways; not so much probably In personal appearance as in some other respects and especial ly in the possession rf class appurten ances. Their motto is, in itself, enough to not as a great prop in the formation of character. 'Self Know ledge is Self Preservation' are th e words of this motto. Now one might suppose that this sentiment Instilled into the minds of those of tender years could result in BKlfidliiress, but those who are acquainted with this dear, this noble class, know how far, how remotely far away are any such tenden. Continued on puge eight The hrat wool sale repotted locally was consummated a few days since when O. T. McKemlree, representing K. tl. Tyron. of San Francisco, pur chased the cilpa of S. K Chandler, J. L. Lyons and J. F. Hanson, at a price about the 13-cnt mark. The amount exceeded 100,000 pounds, Mr. Chandler having about 60,000, Dr. Lyons 20,000 and Mr. Hanson 25,000. The Clips are considered among the best In tne County, the sheep having been fed all Winter. Of course, the prices is not as satisfactory to sheep men as it might be, but all things considered it is an high as the market will ktand at present. However, many sheepmen announce their intention of holding in hopes of a beuer market in a short time. -7 MEMORIAL OR DECORATION DAY EXERCISES At Snider's Opera louse at 2 P. M. Friday, May 30.

Mr. McKcndree is naturally of the opinion that the market price will not increase, and to an Examiner repres entative staled that while all desirable wools will probably sell this year, yet at the Mime time short an J inferior clips will be slow sale. I'd to the prenent time no other buyers have ap peared on the scene, although should their he any activity in the market no doubt o'.her will be in soon. Owing to the long cold Winter it is said that the wool in some sections will not be up to the usual high stand ard, althuugn as a whole the crop will probably average well with other years. Several shearing plants are now in operation, and next week will no doubt tee (hearing in full blast throughout this section. A Salem special under date of May 22, to the Portalnd Telegram says: "Lake County will hold three indus trial fairs and they will all be good," ays N. C. Maris, field worker for the State Industrial Fair, who has just returned from a tour of the country. "That county is like the proverbial girl, "When she is good she is very good ; and wuen she is bad she is horrid." "I found one ot the most interesting little schools I have teen any place eight miles out trom Lakeview. There are 10 pjplls attending and their average age is over 10 years, a 12-year-old girl being the oldest. Some oi the children come three miles, yet there have only been three tsrdy marks. The school grounds are on sage-brush land, bot under an irriga tion ditch. The boys grubbed out the sage-brush, spaded up the ground, dug small laterals and they and the girls have all planted, cultivated and irrigated email gardens and flower beds, spending more of their recess time at this work than at play, so in tense was their interest, and 1 have not teen a little school doing better school work or that could sing more beautifully. WOOLTRlCESON STEADYDECLINE Values Have Decreased 33 'Per Cent Since Wil son's Election Comparative tablets of wool values, showing the effect of tariff develop ments from the time of the election last November, were printed in a re cent issue of the Boston Transcript, and are of special interest to the wool growers of Oregon. A list of 20 different grades of wool is used in making the comparison. The statistics give the prices prevail ing on these grades November 1, 1912, or shortly before Woodro'w Wilson was elected to the Presidency. These val ues are compared with those current on March 15, 1913., or at the time when dealer were anticipating a reduction of duties to atout 20 per cent in the wool schedule. The next comparison is with values as of May 1, or alter the trade became assured of free wool. Besides, the prices at which it is figured wool will have to sell to be on a parity with foreign staple are given. These are estimated on the basis of prices prevailing throughout the world on May 1. The average of prices for the 20 grades, as figured on the free wool basis, is estimated at 18.45 cents. The average of ruling prices on Nov ember 1, 1912, was 25.12 cents, while it had declined to 20.90 by May 1. This shows how far toward a free-wool bas is prices have declined since the pres- lent Administration was elected. The declines of values for November 1 to March 15 was 81 per cent and from the former date to May 1, Id.s per cent. One factor which has precluied an even lower price level as a free trade basis is the strong trend of prices abroad during the period of deeline here. An advance of 7 1-2 to 10 per cent has been made in foreign values. The estimated free-wool basis here given shows a decline of 26.6 per cent from the prices of November 1. It is figured, however, that the decline would be approximately 33 per cent had foreign values remained station ary since last year. Average price November 1, 1912, 25.. 12c. Average price March 15, 1013, 23.08c. Average price May 1, 1913. 20. 90c. Average price comparative free woo! value, 18.45 cents. Several nheoouieu have bUrted shear ing this week, tinti in a few days the season will he ve'l under way. Many of the floes ilttft.ornr.il tho Wil cox and AmbrVoO public corrals, while a number have employed shearers to do their work. J. L. Wheeler, Jr., of the Wheeler Irrigation Co., constructing the Dry . Creek project, returned to Lakeview the first of the week after an absence of several weeks at different coast points including Fortland, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles. Mr. Wheeler states that work will be resumed on the dam at once, which will be done by contract. He is now negotiating with two construction com panies in regard to letting out the work, but whoever takes it will be given a time limit of this Fall for com pletion of the dam. He was joined here Tuesday evening by E. M. Elliott of San Francisco, who is interested with Mr. Wheeler in the project and who has property in terests in this valley. Tbey will go out to the West Side today to look over the system, and it is expected that the contract will joon be signed and work started. MISSION OF TRIP REMAINSMVSTERY California Party Makes a Secret Krrand to Lake County F. A. Moss, ot Auturn. W. F. Falls and A. F. Hathaway of San Francisco, of whom the Examiner mentioned last week as making a tour of inspection of this country, returned the last ot the week from a trip north of Lake view, ai d upon receipt of a telegram Monday morning boarJcd Ita train south. The party gave out cm information ; as to the mis-ion of their visit, and as a enneeqnenee much conjecture is rife regarding their possiDle purpose. Their first act was to purchase a com- pleie camping outfit, which is now stored in a local warehouse. It is generally believed that the gentlemen were sent here to make an investigation of the soda and borax depo-its in some of the lakes ot this county that are being exploiter!, while others are of the opinion that tbey were possitly railroad official. Anyway they were a set of shrewd minded men, who apparently had reasons for keep ing their business a secret, which will remain so at least, until such time's a thev see fit to offer any enlightenment.
