More then $100,000 will be distribut

section when the creamery plant now
being Installed, by II. A. Troest la
operated to ita full - capacity. Theie
figures are based on an average of 30
renta per pound for butterfat, the
capacity of the plant being 1000 pound
daily. While thla may seem an im
probable amount of butter that can be
produced here, yet there it no reason
under the.aun why double or treble the
amount should n it be produced two
veara hence. Even under existing con
ditions there are worlda of the finest
pasture and bay to te had for a nom
inal price, while with the completion
of the irrigation project this amount
can be increased an hundred fold.
When Mr. Troest announced that he
would be ready to receive cream July

could "make good," but a visit to the
plant at the oreaent will convince the
moat skeptical. The building la near

CLYDE COGBURN
CAPTURES BRIDE
Lakeview Boy and Miss
Palmerleo Married in
Pasadena
The Pasadena Star of June G, givea
the following account of the marriage
of Clyde Cogburn, eon of Mrs. Jennie
Cogburn, who Uvea a few miles south
of Lakeview :
Invested with the charm of simplic
ity, yet with all the details aa lovely
as possible, was the wedding last
evening of Miss Eunice Palmerlee,
one of the most popular young women
of the northside, and Clyde Cogburn
of Lakeview, Oregon, at the home of
the brldea mother, Mrs. E. A. Palmer
lee, 2090 Summit avenue.
The bride's only attendant was Miss
Violet Woud, who wore a gown of pale
blue silk and carried a basket ot pink
weetpeai tied with a large bow of
pink chiffon.
Six other pretty maids, all associates
of the bride in social and church cir
cles, held a floral rope extending from
the staircase to the place of ceremony,
where there wa an arch of fern and
white flowers with palms in the back
ground. The maids guarding this
aisle were the Misses Florence Stewart,
Margaret Thompson, Jessie Harmon,
Florence McDonald, Alegra Low and
Mildred Murkbam. The wedding
music waa played bv Miss Iris New
man, who sang "Oh Promise Me" be
fore the bride came down the atairs
and met the greom at the aisle. Mr.
Cogburn was attended by Mr. Shepherd
of Loa Angelea and Kev, Kobert I,
McKee, pastor of the North Pasadena
Methodist church, where the trlde has
been a member since childhood, officia
ted. The bride wore a gown of white
crepe over white messaline and carried
a shower boquet of white aweetpeas
nd maiden hair fern.
After the ceremony the bridal party
and others present, about thirty in
number, went ucroas the street to the
attractive home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Moller, wheie hundreds of Cecil Brun
er roses had been used in festoons and
ply stesm and hot water for cleaning
purposes.
Mr. Troest baa aecured a very fav
orable rate from the N.-C -O. Ky. for
all stations north of and including Al
turss, one thst is much lower than the
rate from th same points to Rei.c.
and hence it Is expected that all cream
produced in Goose Lake Valley will
be marketed here in Lakeview. Rates
will also be aecured from all transpor
tation lines leading to Lakeview, so
that every farmer who so desires can
find a market for all the cream he pro
duces. There will be no oversupply,
as has been the case with butter dur
ing the present season, and hence it is
expected that the farmers will take
advnatage of the opportunity and rake
in a tew thekela on the aide in addition
to their other work.
While Mr. Troest is unable to state
exactly what he will pay for butter
fat, owing to market fluctuations, yet
at the same time he will at no time
pay less than two centa per pound less
than the Man FrancisJo price. Me
hopes to be able to pay a higher price,
but local conditions will fix the maxi
mum prioe, for if the home market
takes the entire output he will be able
to at least aave the freight rate, in
which case be will pay the milkers
that much more.
HEAVY RAINFALL
STRIKES VALLEY
Much Benefit Ensues
From Downpour Which
Occurred Friday
Friday night this section was visited
by one of the hesviest downpours of
rain that has occurred for many years,
resulting In mucn benefit to growing
crops as well as the range. About
10 :30 the storm commenced, acuomp an
ted by much lightning and thunder.and
for several hours there was a steady
rainfall. The streets in many places
were flooded, and the next morning
evidences of the storm were to be seen
on all aides.
I The storm was not local in character,
I it having extended from near Bly on
the West to far out on the desert and
from Davis Creek on the South to near
I Valley Falls. So far as heard the
heaviest fall occurred in Drews Valley,
where it almost amouted to a water
spout. Much damage wss done the
roads through the valley as well as
over the mountain to Bly, and the
tfato stage experienced much trouble
in setting through Saturday. For
several days after the rain the weather
continued cool and pleasant, thus per
mitting the crops and range to get the
full benefit of the moisture.
Market Will Soon Open
Owing to the backwardness of the
season, early vegetables are Just be
ginning to come into the market, and
owing to the inferiority of the vege
table shipped In from California the
change la greatly appreciated. It will
be but short time until the home
grown strawberry puts in an appear
ance, and it will be followed by cher
ries and berries of all kinds, and from
then on the market will be supplied
by the best home-grown fruits of all
kinds.
other fashion of decoration with
beautiful effect in reception and dining
rooms. A wedding supper waa served
here. Mr. and Mra Cogturn are to
leave immediately for Lakeview, where
tbey will make their home.
Fair Board Needed
The Klamath Northwestern says the
County Court of Klamath County has
appointed a county fur board consist
ing of three members.., Flan! are now
being worked out for a fair to be held
this Kali. Under the new law paused
at tho last aessitni of the legislature
Klamath County gela JH00 from
the state for fair purposes, and
Laka county is entitled to a little
over 1000.
This amount would go far toward
conducting a county fair here, and in
asmuch as it is necesssry to have a
county fair board in order to get the
eounty'a share of the money, it be
hooves the Lake county officiate to
make these appointments.
LAKE IS PROPERTY
OF GOVERNMENT
Petitioners Waste Time in
Protesting Drainage of
Goose Lake
An article In the Sacramento Bee
recently atated that Representative
Raker, congressman from the distri it
wbich embraces Modoc County, in Cal
ifornia, is in receipt of a petition pro
testing against a proposal to drain
Goose Lake. In 1905 the State of Ore
gon granted its entire interest in Uoose
Lake and ibe bed thereof to the U. S.
Government, and it will be impossible
for any one to acquire title thereto
not without dealing with the Federal
Government, and it would require a
congressional act to pasa title from
the Federal Government. In view of
this it would seem that until suob an
act is proposed in Congress the citizens
are wasting their own time and the
valuable time of Congressman Raker
in sending In a petition of this naturp.
The article further atates that there
ia a proposal In behalf of corporate in
terests to drain the lake. This js
something the Examiner has not bcrr
tofore heard of. Some time ago a
citizen of Lake County investigated
the matter of lowering the waters of
the lske discussed it at some length
with a number of citizens and secured
legsl advice aa to whether as a legal
proposition it wouhi be possible to
lower the waters of the lake to the
extent of one foot wifhout involving
himself in litigation. We are advised
the matter was dropped thereafter and
there has been nothing further done
with it. If there has ever been any
serious proposal to do this work on
behalt of a corporation financially able
to accomplish the result aimed at we
known nothing of it, and any proposal
to acquire the bed of the Lake bv
draining the water therefrom without
first securing an act ot Congress is
foolish and should not receive the ser
ious attention of anyone.
WORK IS STARTED
ON Mil I II DREWS
Practically Assured That
Canal Will be Completed
This Year
The South Drewa Canal will be com
pleted tbia year and without doubt
many thousands of acres of land on
the west aide of Goose Lake Valley
will be under irrigation within the
next year or ao. J. F. Hanson will
probably have 500 or 600 acrea ready
next year and other farmera 'n that
section will also be ready to avail
tnemselvea of the water.
Work on the canal was commenced
thia week by the Hall Construction
Co., S. L. Hanson being in charge.
There la no doubt but 'that the entire
work will be completed this year, and
with the completion of the dam there
will be plenty of water for next season.
It is quite likely that the flume In
the canyon wbich will carry the water
for the north or main canal will be
completed this yesr, in which case
muchvland in the central part of the
valley could be supplied with water
next year. However, there ia prac
tically none of the land ready tor ir
rigation, aside trom that of the set
tlors, for virtually none of the contract
holders have cleared their lands of
sagebrush, to say nothing of leveling
and preparing them for irrigation, :

The Southern Pacific Company will
spend millions on its- Oregon lines dur
ing the next two; years, according to
a formal statement of planned improve
ments that has been submitted to the
