New Measure Will Estab
lish 12 Reserve Banks
Over Country.
The administration currency bill,
after nearly three weeks of discussion,
was finally approved by the house
democratic cuueus by a vote of 163 to
9, although it is predicted by some
that it will not be passed until after
the present special session. The mea
sure aa it stands Is partially aummed
up as follows :
The bill establishes twelve regional
reserve banks, with a capital of not
leas than (5,000,000 each, to which na
tional banks are required to contribute
an amount equal to ten per cent of their
own capital stock and become liable
for an additional ten per cent in case
of call. This, it is estimated, will
given the regional reserve banks a
combined paid up capital of $105,000,
000. Theae regional reserve banks also
are made custodians of a large amount
of the reserve money of member banks,
estimated at about e410.000.000. They
also receive tbe government deposits
estimated at from 110,000,000 to
$50,000,000.
The measure provides an advisory
board of bankers without actual power,
composed of one member from each of
the 12 regional reserve banks. Tbe
circulation privilege will revert to tbe
government itself, issuing through tbe
regional banka on a gold reserve of
83 1-3 per cent, to be provided by the
banks, upon the retirement of tbe
tbreo per cent bonds.

LUMBERlMPANY
TO CONTINUE HERE
Sunset Lake Yard Will Be
Re-opened With a Large
Stock.
W K. Wilkinson, Receiver of the
Sunset Lake Lumber Co., writes tbe
Examiner tbat tbe mention given in
thia paper in the issue of August 21,
stating that hia company would dis
continue business in Lakeview was
erroneous.
This article was published in - refer
ence to the Lumber Companya' recent
auction sale here, and the information
was gained from Mr. Burgess, who at
that time was manager of the local
yard.
Mr. Wilkinson further writea:
"Thia company haa no desire what
ever, to discontinue business at Lake
view, but rather intends to increase
it. as fast as the business will warrant.
"The reasons for our selling the
stoek completely out were several,
the principal among which were the
faota of tola being a very dull season,
coupled with the fact that tbe stock
in question wss mostly that which
had been attached by creditors, foroing
upon the receivership the expense of
maintaining a man to handle the yard,
for tho benefit of a few cerditora who
were not willing to await their chances
with the rest in the receivership now
pending in the court of Modoc county.
"This company will within a very
few months now, pass from a receiver
ship, to a companv financed success
fully and full, with no financial obliga
tions whatever in arrears, and in shape
not only to cope successfully with its
competitors, but to go them one better
at every turn of the market.
"You will shortly receive word that
some responsible man of Lakeview,
will be handling our goods in Lake
view, and at the old stand, and that
prices will be as alwaya. the lowest
coupled with the fact that the stock
w'll be completely new throughout."
The Klamath Herald reports that
Postmaster Brandenburg of Klamath
Falls haa been requested to resign his
position, and that Wm. Wagner, form
erly of Lakeview, is In line for the
Job. Charges were preferred against
Brandenburg by his former head clerk.
contemplates a reduction in the reserve
requirements of reserve and central
reserve cities from 25 to 18 per cent
and of all county banks from 15 to 12
per cent. Tbe federal reserve board
is required to establish a graduated tax
on the amounts by which banks may
be permitted to fall below reserve re
quirements, such tax to be uniform In
its application to all banks.
National tanks are compelled to be
come members of the system and under
penalty of forfeiture of charters, while
state banks arts permitted to become
members under regulations of the
federal reserve boards.
IRISH PICNIC ENJOYED
OVER SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
GO TO CAMAS PRAIRIE
Good Program of Entertainment and Sports
Provided Wholesome Amusement For
Crowds Fat Men's Race Was
, Some Contest
Again did the Irish citizens of Lake
County make good when they gave
their second annual picnic at Camas
Prairie on Labor Day. Between 700
and 800 peraona were present, and not
one word of criticiam baa been beard
relative to the conduct of the festiv
ities. The crowds commenced assem
bling early In the morning, all sorts of
vehicles being pressed into service aa
a means of transportation. Many
came on horseback, many more In
wagons, carriages, carts and the like,
a few afoot and autoa furnished trans
portatlon for several hundred people
from Lakeview, Warner. ABhland and
other points more or less distant.
D. T. (Jodsll. performed the duties
of President of tbe Day, and in a few
most gracious remarks welcomed tbe
large ausemblsge, bidding the guests
to mska tbe most of the occasion and
to enjoy themselves to the utmost.
He then introduced J. M. Batchelder,
followed by L. F. Conn and he in turn
by W. Lair Thompson. All of the
gentlemen addressed their remarks
more particularly to tboae of Irish
descent, and in return were warmly
applauded by all present. Mis. Norin
then rendered a charming solo, which
seemed to reach the hearts of all pres
ent, more especially those of the re
cent arrivala from the t'merald Isle.
Sne waa heartily encored, and respond
ed with another selection that was
especially pleasing to the Iriat boys.
The numerous contests were highly
entertaining, there being numerous
entries in all of the events, and every
one was out to win. Probably tbe
most hotly contested race was that for
tbe fine pipe, which was finally award
ed to Dr. E. H. (smith, be taking a
leading position in tbe fat men's race.
It waa generally considered a dead
heat between tbe Doctor and Ben
Daiy, but it was owing to tbe point
of view from which conclusions were
reached. It ia possible that Ben lead
at the finish by a nose, but in this in
EFFORT MADE TO PET SETTLERS
N.-C.-O. Railway Co-operating to Bring
People to This Section Dicing the
Homeseekers Period
T. E. Gil'er, commercial agent of the
N.-C.-O. Railway was up from Reno
this week, calling upon the local busi
ness men.
Mr. Ciller is ever working for the
development of the country served by
his road, and has proposed the idea of
making a bid to get settlers interested
in this section when the western home
seekers rates over the Southern Pacific
and Western Pacific lines go into effect
September 25th,
Mr. Ciller hss advanced the idea of
establishing immigration agents at both
Salt Lake City and Ogden, represent
ing Lake County, Oregon and Modoc
County, California. Their duty shall
be xcb day to ride the trains out of
Ogden and Salt Lake City west dis
tributing literature descriptive of the
advantages and resources of this sec
tion of the. country as a desirable loca
tion for theae homeseekers.
Tbe N.-C.-O. Railway has establish
ed rate of 111.90 Irom Reno to Lake
view and return, effective for those
holding homeseekers tickets. The
travelers would also be acquainted
with this fact, which would doubtless
induoe many people to take advantage
of the trip. Mr. Ciller states that the
stance It waa girtb what counted, and
it ia conceded that Ben ia a little aby
on waist measurement aa compared
with his profeaslonal competitor, and
the closest observers were positive
tbat the Doctor's waistband waa a
little in advance of Ben's. Any way,
Ben very courteously conceded his
J defeat. It might be added that had
not W. R. Heryford unfortunately
stepped in a hole, causing bim to tall
at the start, tbe result would undoubt
edly have been different.
In the running hieh jump, Clips.
Combs won the gold-filled watch, with
Pat Duane second. Combs cleared
four leet eight and one half inches.
The Standing high jump was won by
Pat Duane, the prize being a quad
ruple silver-plated shaving aet. He
set the mark at four feet seven inches,
which proved too much for Mr. Comts,
tbe winner of the running bigb jump.
There were six entries in all
A aet of diamond caff buttons, tie
holder and scarf pin were won by
Timothy Burke for the longest jump,
fifteen feef" three inohes, with Paul
Drenkel second and tour other entries.
In tbe 600-yard horserace, for a
Linkville tree saddle, handsomelv
stamped and valued at 140, Dave Mc
Auhffe on "Flaxey" won, with Jim
Barry, Jr., on "Mark" second. There
were seven starters in the race, and
with Col. F. P. Light as master of
ceremonies they were sent off on the
first trial. Tbe colonel performed tbe
duties of offioial starter in a moat
satisfactory manner, and in nearly
eveiy race the ponies sot away on the
first trial. Thee were no numerous
long waits, all of the races being pul
led off promptly on time.
George Chandler on "One-Eyed
Riley" won the 500-yard dash, with
Vernon Stickley on "Bellemont" sec
ond. There ere five other entries,
the prize being a fine oowboy bridle

I expense of conducting this campaign
I for the six weeks would amount to
j about $1000. General Manager Duna-
way of the N.-C.-O. has agreed to de
fray one-nalt of this expense, besides
securing transportation for the solici
tors. Modoc County is very enthusiastic
over the movement and haa already
appropriated $300 to assist in meeting
their portion ot tbe expense, which
leaves $200 of the required amount to
be met.
Experienced publicity and land men
would be selected to conduct this cam
paign. The western homeseekers rates are
effective for aix weeka and it is esti
mated that 15.000 people will come to
California alone during thia time.
Owing to the extreme heat waves and
drouths that have prevailed over the
middle-western atates this season,
there will be an unusually large influx
of people to the west during the home
seekers period.
We as usual this year, have abundant
crops of grain and fruit, and In view
of tbis Not, if homeseekers can be In.
duced to visit this section, teneflcial
results are bound to follow.
CLOUDBURST MAKES
DELAYJN TRAINS
N.-C.-O. Has Trouble But
Service Is Now Oack To
Normal.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
last week tbe N.-C.-O. trains did not
reach Lakeview until tbe wee small
boars of tbe morning, occasioned by a
cloudburst at Red Rock Canvon tbis
side of Reno. The flood tbat followed
ia said to have raised to a height of
10 feet in places, washing sand, rock
and debris over tbe track for a distance
of a mile and a half. A crew of men
were at once put to work removing
tbe obstruction but during thia time
all mail and baggage aa well aa pas
sengers had to be transferred over tbe
demoralized track to connect with the
traina tbat were operated on either
end.
Conditions have again about reached
a normal stage, traina sinoe Monday
arriving but a few minutes behind the
schedule time. Tbe storms have been
exceedingly beavy over the entire
northern part of Nevada, and all rail
road lines in tbat part of tbe state
have been experiencing considerable
trouble aa a result.
NEW OFEICE MUST
HAVEAPPOINTEE
Up to Each County Court
to Name Sealer of
Weights.
According to an opinion recently
rendered by Attorney General .A. M.
Crawford it la mandatory that county
courta appoint a county sealer of
weights and measures, which law waa
passed at the last session of the Ore
gon Legislature. In his decision the
Attorney General cites the following
ressona :
"Section 2 of the act requires tbe
State Treasurer to appoint a deputy
sealer of weights and measures to
whom the county sealers of weights,
and measures shall report. Section 11
provides "there shall be appointed by
tbe county court a county
sealer of weightaand measures." The
language ia "shall be appointed."
Section 12 provides tbe duties of tbe
county sealer of weighta and meas
ure s-and Section 13 mxkea It the duty
of the county sealer of weighta and
meabures to report to the State Sealer
of Weighta and Measures. A doty ia
Imposed upon the State Treasurer by
the act whicn be' cannot discharge,
except tbat tbe officers provided for
under tbe act are duly appointed and
make their reports as therein provided;
hence the necessity of the mandatory
provision of Section 11 as to the county
court. If the county court had any
discretion to refuse to appoint de
puties, then the whole object of the
act could be defeated by the action of
the county court. Such evidently was
not the intent of the Legislature.
Therefore in my opinion the act ia
mandatory as far aa requiring the
county courta to appoint deputy eealers
of weights and measures tnereunder."
The county sealer of weights and
measures shall serve for such a term
and such a compensation aa the county
court Bhall provide.
Money Allotted
Secretary McAdoo has enounced the
apportionment, as far as it had been
completed of the $50,000,000 to be de
posited by tbe Government in National
banks of the West and South to fac
ilitate tbe movement and marketing
of crops. Tbe total amount allotted
to date ia 146,000,000, of wbich I27,
700,000 goes to banka in the 14 West
ern states and 121,800,000 to the 13
Southern states and the District of
Columbia.
The Southern banka have asked that
their Bhare of the tunda be deposited
in August and September and those in
the West wsnt the money apportioned
to them during September, October
and November. The money will be
allowed to remain on deposit on an
average of four or five montba. All
of it ia to be returned not later than
next April and the Southern bankers,
who get their money first in Decem
ber, will begin turning it back into
the Treasury in monthly installments.

New Management Will
Stimulate Development
'of High Grade Mine.
At a recent meeting of tbe Board of
Directors of tbe Sunshine High Grade
Mining Co. tbe control and manage
ment of tbe property went into the
bands of C N. Miller of Fair port.,
who accomplishes things. His first
experience waa Cripple Creek where
he was one of tbe meet energetic and
aggressive operators.
At this writing be is operating a
zinc property in Wasboe County. Nev
ada, a gold property in Plumas and ia
protably one of the heaviest owners
ot valuable mining property in Roches
ter, Nevada, a locality which appealed
to bim nearly two years before tbe
outside world ever beard of it.
When tbe Sunshine High Grade Min
ing Co. beld its annual meeting at
Kairport in June there waa a debt of
$180,000 against tbe company. Mr.
Miller proposed a plan where by all of
this but (4000 waa wiped off the books.
He now proposes to get this company
upon its feet financially and then go
after the properties of this company
in a big way.
Speakirg of tbe Camp be said : "It
is in no sense a poor mar 's camp.
What ia needed more than anytbing
else is substantial and intelligent de
velopment. The character of tbe ore
is such that a proper treatment plant
will cost a substantial sum of money.
Amalgamation alone will not save over
half the values. Tbe mineralization
is extensive and if I am successful in
interesting substantial financial sap
port I believe tbe Sunshine and Yellow
Jaoket will make good mines. The
camp haa iv-r bs a fai t-tt and
the development ia largely, super
ficial." With the fine showing now on tbe
Modoc and with active development
upon the properties of the Sunshine
Co. it isjf air to assume that High Grade
will soon come into its own.
At the recent meeting Mr. V. L.
Snelling was elected President, C. N.
Miller, Secretary and General Mana
ger. These gentlemen with F. M.
Green, Geo. Hank ins and Jonaa King
constitute tbe board ot directors. The
stockholders are to be congratulated
but have a stimulating effect upon the

Mr. F. M. Miller of Lakeview was
continued as treasurer of tbe company.
