Fairport, Calif., Aog 5 (Speclal)
Cbarlea Moran, of Maw York City,
identified with the Morans, ownera of

general manager of the road. The trip
waa purely one of inspection and Mr.
Moran expreseed hlmaelf aa being well
pleased with the progreaa mad by the
various sectiona along the line of the
road.
"I am pleaaed at these evidence! of
progreaa", he remarked. "Condition!
appear to ba more favorable than they
were lest year. .The settlement of the
varioua aectiona along the line of the
road mutt ultimately mean much. The
Madeline violnity and the Gooae Lake
Valley ahow unmiatakable evldenoca
of progreaa.
"Gooae Lake ia, Indeed, a beautiful
body of water and compares favorably,
in a acenle aenae. with Champlain and
the famuua lakea of tha East. There
ia no logical reason why thia should
not become the favorite resort point
for the people of the three atates tra
veled by the road. You have every
thing demanded to make it an import
ant point."
The party will leave tomorrow for
Reno, Mr. Moran returning to New

VARIED FARMING
JELL EXEMPLIFIED
Walter M. Pax ton Has
Bullded Ideal Country
Home'at Profit.
Thai diversified farming can be sue-
cessfully and profitably practiced in
thia vallev has been thoroughly demon
strated hy Walter M. Paxton. who
owr.a an ideal country home a tew milea
north of Lakeview. Mr. Paxton and
family have been living at their pres
ent home but comparatively a ahort
time, tut t"e many improvementa that
hava been made emphasize tbe fact
that energy haa been the chief factor
in bringing about these developments.
Their original holdings consisted of
40 scree but tbey bava since acquired
80 acrea more, giving them 120 acrea
of land which laya both above and be
low the main road leading north of
town. Mr. Paxton thia year haa 25
acrea of oats, a sample from wbiuh
now in the Examiner office measures
5 ft. and 8 inchea from root to tip.
In addition to this be ia raising, wheat,
alfalfa, potatoes, garden atutfa and ia
experimenting with Bald Barley, which
glvea Indications of producing a fair
yield snd of becoming a staple product
in this valley.
Mr. Paxton is quite extensively en
gaged in the chicken business from
which ha realizes a substantial profit.
He also has nearly 100 head of hogs,
and baa milch cows from which be sells
milk and butter. Young colta can be
aeen in the barn yard, and in fact near
ly everything can be found on the
plaoe that ia a revenue producer. In
thia way can be aeen the real advan
tage of diversified farming. The stock
la fed and fattened by produce grown
on the ranch; the different modes of
production are adopted that best wora
in conjunction with eaoh other: there
la alwaya something to sell and little
to buy hence the profit.
Nearly all the hillside land on thlb
ranch, that can be done so convenient
ly, ia farmed to Spring wheat which
will aurely produce better than 25
bushela to tha acre. The remainder of
the bill land will be utilized for rang
purposes for dairy stock, and thus nu
part of the plaoe will lay Idle. Now
that he baa tha producing elements of
the ranch under development, Mr. Pax
ton will be able to devote more time
to convenient and luxurloua improve
menta about the house. (However, no
apologies are required for present con
ditions, as tbey now hava a beautiful
thia Democratic triumvirate are ful
filled. Landing credence to tbeae declara
tion and political predlctlona ia the
fact that recently Gatena conferred
with Governor Weat In Salem, getting
from bim tbe atatement that the Gov
ernor would not ae a candidate to aoc
cead bimaelf, and announced later to
the coterie of politiciana who now
father proohecies that with West out
of the field he would become a candi
date for Governor.
Repeatedly within the iastaix months
Governor West haa Istiued declarationa
that he would not be a candidate to
aucceed himself. Coming on the heela
of the Democratic victory In the Na
tion and a rumor that Senator Cham
berlain waa scheduled for a federal
appointment, these deniala were con
atroed to mean that the Governor was
making preparatinne to aucceed the
Senator.
Financial reasons are given by the
Governor'a Irienda for hia decision to
retire from politics.

The devioua processes by which the

United Statoa District Court, which

complaint sets forth that atate officers
are named because tba State of Oregon
baa been negligent in fulfilling a trust
imposed in it by Congress, which in
1869 granted to the state a atrip of
land approximately VI milea wide ex

places.
It was provided that the land grant

to install a gasoline pump and tank

What haa been accomplished by Mr.
Paxton can be emulated by every other
farmer in the valley, aa all conditiona
in the virgin atate of tbe land are aim

Alturas Is Planning a Big
Tournament and Shoot
Next Month.
Tbe Lakeview ball team met their
Waterloo last Sunday in tbe game with
Altutaa. There were 62 tieketa aold
at the Lakeview depot and all wbo
participated in the excursion report a
good time. Tbe home boya offer no ex
cuse for losing the game other than
just "bum" playing on their part and
clever work on the part of the Tigera.
K. A. Clark, the regular Lakeview
twirler, waa unable to go owing to
having . met with a slight accident
which injured hia thigh, and Paul
Drenkel aubstituted in bia atead. Paul
waa also slightly incapacitated on ac
count of a bad thumb and waa unable
to pitch up to his usual standard.
The Lakeview nine aucceeded In
making one tally in tbe first inning,
which fortunately they old not load aa
it waa tbe only one in (he entire game.
Tbey kept Alturas tu tbe "gooae egg"
column, however, until tbe end of the
fourth inning when the Tigera got

of the game ma4e nine rtngeraj. maK
ing a final acore of 9 to 1 in favor, of
Alturas.
Tha trsp a'hoot contest did not take
place owing to the local team being
unable to attend. Tbia waa due to
varioua reasons., principally on acount
of the present busy aeason and because
some of the sportsmen were out of
town.

hold a large base ball tournament in
September, beginning tbe 22nd. There

it ia expected that aeveral teama will

and in addition to the ball tournament
and other amusements, a trap shoot
conteat will be held with a puree of
$50 or 9100 and the entrance teea
for the winning team.
HUNTERlSFjNED
FOR MUTILATION
J. A. Donovan Brings Deer
Into Town and Pays a
Fine.
J. A. Donovan, who ia well known
locally, having formerly come from
St. Joseph, Mo, last Monday came to
town w.th a deer after a few days
hunt near Burnt Creek east of town.
Owing tn the hide and carcass having
been to mutilated that it waa impos
sible lo discern the sex of tho animal,
Otmu Warden McKimmens arrested
Mr. Donovan who paid the mini
mum fine o' 925 for the charge. Other
members of his party said the deer
waa a male, and Warden McKimmens
elated tbfit he ww reasonably sura of
this fact, but owing to the atipulation
of the law, It was necessary to tine
the slayer on the charge of mutilation.
The Oregon code on tbia reads aa fol
lows: "It ahall be unlawful for any person,
after having killed . any deer, to ao
mutilate tha dead carcase thereof in
any manner ao aa to intentionally dis
guise the sex thereof, and prevent the
aame from being ascertained or deter
mined." . .
Klamath Falla bai decided not to
change the datea for the convention of
tbe Central Oregon Development
League on aocount of tbe arrival of
Secretary of the Interior Lane. The
meeting will be beld on the datea of

Ona of the first t Sg practical jobs
that these men will ondertake will be

Beef Prices Decline and
Demand For Sheep Is
Lacking.
Receipts for the week have been;
Cattle 1887: Carvee 215: Hogs 2479;
Streep 48fl2fHorsee 7. ,
Heavy receipts of cattle tor tbe
week, and the fact that tha beat stuff
was not offering baa caused the mar-
' ket to decline from 25 centa lo 50 centa.
Good choice stuff is in demand and
would still bring at good price, tat
( there ia no demwri for poor quality,
which just demoralizes the market.
The dehorning of rattle is 'strongly
urged, aa in many instancea shippers
receive from 25 to 40 centa leas on
account of the bruised condition of the
stuff offered. $3.25 ia the top on
steers when good ones are in evidence.
One extra choice lot of cowa brought
7.50, but good cowa are selling around
6.75 and 7.00. Fancy heifers would
bring good pricea but there U a wide
range in tbe class offered, as in tbe
ease with steers. Calvea steady and
bulla a shade lower.
The hog market baa dropped from
ten centa to 19.70 for best light swine,
and will probably go lower, as packers
needs are temporarily supplied.
The sheep house wsa slow and
draggy, probably due to the hot weath
er. Not any receipts. Good ewes
would bring 3.50, top . wetbera 3.67 to
4.00, and top last of the mountain lamb
5.50 to 5 75 but a general apathy
exists in tbe sheep trade.
