CHILD FALLS OUT
OF RUNNING TRAIN
A Near Tragedy Occurs
on N.-C.-O. Near Raven
dale. Reno Journal : The loss of a three-year-old
child from the window of a
northbound N-C.-.O train Saturday,
gave the passengers on the train a
scare because of the near approach of
a tragedy. The matter ended happily,
however, with some tinge of comedy.
Mrs. Ford with five children, boumi
for Madeline, left Keno on train num
ber one. All went well until tho moth
er looked around after the train patted
Kavendale, and found to her horror,
that little Jimmy, tbe youngest waa
missing. She searched the car and the
remaining cars but tailed to rind the
Infant. Ihen she noticed the . open
window near where Jimmy bad been
and hysterica followed.
Outside the car another scene was
enacted. Jimmy had fallen on a soft
mound of sand and aa the train was
traveling only 18 miles an hour he wa
not hurt. lie scrambled to his feet
and commenced the apparently feasible
task of catching the 'rain. A work
man saw tbo little legs traveling rapid
ly trainwarda and Dianaged to attract
attention of the engineer on one of the
curves. The train waa stopoea ana
Jimmy was carried the remaining dis
tance, about a half a mile.

SENATE GETTING
DOWN TODUSINESS
All Tariff Debates to De
Closed In Five Weeks
Work to Be Rushed.
The Senate may now proceed to the
business for which President Wilson
called the extra aesaion of Congress
revision of the tariff. Three months
and four days after the special aeasion
began, the Underwood-Simmons tariff
bill was reported. The measure wss
passed upon in committee by a atriot
party vote.
Aa It goes to the Senate the bill re
tains the principal revision of the
House measure and those particularly
advocated bv President Wilson, free
raw .wool and a provision that sugar
shall be free May 1, 1916. '
The finance committee maiority and
tbe caucua have greatly extended the
free list and reduced many rates,
notably in the metal, wool and agri
cultural schedules. Sweeping changes
however, have been made In the ad
ministrative features and the income
tax. Cattle and wheat are now on tbe
free list, the latter with a countervail
ing duty.
I-onper sessions are being held to
complete all debates within five weeks,
if possible. ,

AND DESERT LAND ENTRYMEN
The contest case of John A. Morgan

Bought to provejthat the land in ques

Mr. Fitch by tbe new Commissioner of
the General Land Office, Hon. Clay
Tallmun, recently of Keno. The case
will doubtless be appealed to the
Secertary or toe Interior, by O. C.
Gibbs attorney for Mr. Morgan.
Muc Interest bas been centered in

COWS IN DEMAND
IN CALIFORNIA
Wisconsin Cattle May Be
Shipped Hero This Fall,
Says Report.
The dairy cow proposition is a hard
one at present, Fred Hansen having
bought all the "cheap" cows in Calif
ornia. J. W. McCoy, of Klamath
Falls, scoured the State for a carload
of HolsteinB for shipment to Lakeview
but was unable to find them. He
finally bought SI head of two year-old
heifers which will stand him dose to
$75 per bead. These he shipped to the
Falls.
It ia possible a shipment of dairy
cattle will be made to Lakeview from
Wisconsin during the coming Fall, and
any one interested should leave word
at the Examiner office, it is said that
tbev can be delivered In Lakevlow al
most as cheaply aa thoe bought in
California earlier in the season, and
the expense of pm'chuhing two car
loads would be little if. any more than
a single carload.

SUNDAY'S GAME
WAS AJARATIION
Tallies Were Feature with
Base Ball Game at Fair-port.
Tbe ball game last Sunday between
the Lakeview and Fairport teams play
ed at the latter ple waa a marathon
Lakeview took 21 trips around the
new diamond and allowed Fairport to
make 11.
It was a game of errors, many of
them excusable, however as result
of the grounds, while the others it Is
said may be attributed to very bad
baseball. It waa evident that Lake
view was not at her best and tbe Fair
port boys showed that the haying
seaon had made inroads on tbe base
ball brawn.
The crowd in attendance at tbe game
was large, nearly 100 people going
from Lakeview, both on the N.-C.-O.
excursion train and by aotos. An ex
cellent dinner was served at the Fair
port Inn, and the day was enjoyably
spent in boating and bathing along tbe
shores of Goose Lake, and this togeth
er with the marathon made it a very
pleasant day.
The Fairport resort will doubtless
prove a great attraction for such ex
cursions In tbe future, and its popular
ity should become troad in extent.
and r. uXTj rcminda one ot the cattle
and sheen war that is said Jo have ex
isted in limes gone oy. In the Mores n
Fitcb case the testimony was both
voluminous and conflicting, and in the
words or tbe Commissioner. "If tbe
opinion end judgment of eome of con
testant's witnesses sre correct, irriga
tion plants in thst locallity are wholly
unnecessary, while tbe testimony of
other witnesses, and the judgment of
Goverment officials, are quite to the
contrary."
Tbe Department's definition of
"deeert land" is quite different from
that placed upon it by Webster. AS' a
genersl proposition areas where tbe
rainfall is less than 20 inches, success
ful sericulture ia problematical and
even with that amount much depends
upon whether the rainfall is evenly
distributed through the growing seas
on, and in such cases the land would be
classed aa "desert land" within the
meaning of the act.
INDIANS FINED
DNDERIIEW LAW
Will Be a Crime For Red
Skins to Buy or Accept
Liquor.
If the new bill introduce! in Con
gress by Senator Jones, of Washington
becomes a law it is believed that the
frequent arrests in Klamath falls and
on the Klamath Indian Reservation of
men charped with introducing liquor
on the reservation or selling it to
Indians will beuome a thing of tbe past.
This bill impotes a fine of S100 or
i,ix months' imprisonment or both on
any Indian soliciting or accepting
liquor from other persons. The lepis
lation Is intended to strengthen the
law prohibiting the Bale of liquor to
Indians", and bas been found necessary
by several Western grand juries that
recently have hand ltd cases of this
chaiacter.
Hy making he Indian us well as the
liuuor teller reauonsible. Senator
Jones believes liquor traffic with Ind
ians can be practically chirked.

OREGONIAN ERRS
ON WOOLESTIMATE
Says But 1,000,000 Pounds
Now Left In Oregon and
Washington.
Tbe;i913 wool Season in Oregon bas
come to a close, saya the Portland
Oregonian. Nearly all of the visiting
buyers have left for Montana, the last
public sale iu this state having taken
place last week at Bend. There ia
practically nothing leit in the north
i central part of Oregon, except a few
clips at Shaniko and a few scattered
lots. It is estimated that the amount
consigned by Oregon growers to east
ern markets this year ia 1,750,000
pounds. Prices hare ruled steady, the
bids at the public salea at the close of
the season being almost identical with
those at the opening. Fine wools have
brought from 11 to 14 7-8 cents and
medium wools 15 to 16 centi all over
the atate.
The Oregonian further states that
not over a million pounds ot wool re
mains unsold in tbe two states of Orr
gon and Washington, Apparently the
Oregonian doesn't rigor that Lake
County belongs in that territory, or
else nearly all the crops bave been add
everywhere except in this conty. Con
servative estimates shov that the total
amount of " wool produced in Lake
County this year will exceed 1,250,000
rounds, about50 per cent of which re
mains unsold. Therefore, if we bave
678,000 pounds to sell, in order to
cany out the thsorvjof the Oregonian
theu bit, ti .ly u.t.olv puuiids outuida
of this county in the entire states of
Washington .and Oregon.
