Lakeview, Oregon, Thursday, October 23. 1013 GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT The Examiner it of the opinion that it 3a high time that the question of the building of permanent roada throughout Lake Count was receiving attention. Crook Count U the North and Klamath on the West are both getting ready to vote on the bonding aoeation. and there is no reasonable -doubt that the bond will carry over whelmingly. Both Counties, however, -.are planning main trunk lines North .and South to the West ef Lake, al- though Klamath is also reaching out i after Lake County trade with prooos- ed roaos to the line near the northern oatt of the County and also to the "r?eat of Lakeview. Uod Almighty has in a large meas nre solved the good reatfa vqaeetion in 'Lake Countv, for when Ha created his part of the States He andoabtedly bad .- a surplus of good road material and . made use of it by tiling dp deep can yons and leveling np the country gen erally. As a coosjqaence wa have do expensive bridges to baild and main tain, no heavy grades to overcome, no "black mid" to contend with, com paratively no rock work. In fact con ditions sre ideal for natural roads. And perhaps this latter fact has much to do with our lethargic condition as far as permanent rods are concerned. After havirg crossed too State twice during last month, the rriter knows that Lane County has the best roads in all of Eastern Oregon. But this is in a great measure due to an All-Wiae 'Creator, for many, miles of roads traversed had apparently never hsd a stroke of work performed to bring them op to tbelr present splendid con dition. In a way the lack of heavy traffic may account for their condition, but be that as it may, a new era is dawning, and just as soon as the good roads are built up through Klamath, Crook and adioining Couattes to the North, connecting on the South with the California State Highway, juit so -soon will our present reads tecome a bugbear t j the traveling public, and we will become an Isolated- community in facC With good roads distance not con sidtred nowaday, and if Lake County , is to beeome populated in the nesr future permanent roads with a hard surface are absolutely necceassry, With a main line running from Calif ornia Sate line to the Crook County line, with branches connecting as witu Kismstb ana Harney uounties, we -would be in shpe to reach out after a landseeker occasionally, to ssy nothing of the tourist travel, wbich ta begin mng to be reckoned with as a source -of revenue by many of our business bouses. The Examiner believes that this question should receive serious consid eration, and to that end invites corre spordence, both pro and con, from all -sections of the County bearing upon the advisability of bonding the County "for the purpose of building permanent ria'd-iurf need highways. Some very excellent work has been performed by tbe presert County Court during the past few years, but tois is only a com mencement or "a drop in the bucket," as it were. THE CUltKENCY HILL Pro? pec ts of early passage of the currency bill are brightening. They are greatly Improved by President Wilson's desire, expressed to Senator Hitchcock, that the bill be not made a partissn measure and by his readi ness to welcome Republican support; also by Republican willingness to aid In framing a good bill and not to delay its passage. Settlement of the currency usue on the lines of the pending bill is essent ial to stability of business conditions These bsve been distributed by the new tariff and the readjustment made necessary by that measure will be greatly facilitated by improvement of the banking system. Tbe question is not one of party ; it concerns the whole country. There are certain provisions in the bill on which tbe dominant party insists. As they are matters of party policy, it is useless to ssk the Demo cracy to yield on them. It is for Re publicans to consider whether these provisions are so important and so inherently vicious thst he should ssc rifles the opportunity to secure adop tion of other provisions of tbe bill which are taken in substance trots the Aldrioa bill. Did you ever live in a community where it wss not popular to "howl" about taxes? The writer never has. snd even here in Lske County where taxes are practically at the lowest ebb, as it were, it is nothing uncommon to hesr one complain. In fact, the Assessor or Sheriff might possibly ssy thst the Exsminer man is not sn ex eeption to tbe role. But the point is that our present rate of taxation should in no way be a bar to bonding tbe County for permanent highways, If $150,000 were voted the interest would amount to but $9000, and by bonding for a long term of years. sinking fund could be crested after ssy ten years, thus permitting the use of the good roads to tbe present gen eration at a nominal cost. Ihe annual wear on the ordinary vehicle under existing conditions, to say nothing of tbe increased healing capacity with permanent roads, will more thao off set tbe increased taxes neceassry to baild the roads. We sell .famous Klamath County is in debt nearly a half million dollars. "Uncle Sam" can go ber a few dollars better, bat then both have somathing to show fur tne amount expended. Klamath'B rep utation for good roads is worth many times the amount of her indebtedness, to say nothing of the roads themselves, snd that reputation will no doubt bring to that County every year more than the half million of indebtedneas. famous for their surety ofre- . salt.

THORNTON DRUOOIST LAKEVIEW - OREGON Oregon Apples To Africa Portland, Ore., Oct. 21. (Special) Mo attrsctive bsve been the reports of tbe superior quality of Oregon apples that a party of pilgrims came all tbe way from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Portlsnd to see for themselves whether or not Oregon fruit wss so much better than that from other psrts of tbe world. They came, they saw. and they left orders to the extent of 25 carloads ot tbe finest apples Oregon could produce. Tnls purchase is merely tbe entering wede. In the past the bulk ot apples for the South African trade have been purchased in Nova Scotia and other Eastern sections, but acquaintances with the wosdertul coloring, quality snd long-keeping characteristics of Oregon apples will undoubtedly result in diverting practically all future orders to the Pacific Northwest, a movement which wil be greatly stim ulated when the Panama Canal is in operation. Cold in East A Washington dispatch of October 21 says that wintry weather todsy gripped tbe entire section of tbe count ry east of tbe Mississippi. At some plaoes the storm wss severe snd tbe fall of snow besvy, while along the North Alantlo coast and in the Great Lakes regions a heavy wind raged making navigation extremely perilous and causing much property loss.

VARIOUS SUBJECTS FREELY DISCUSSED TREES FOR WESTERN NEBRASKA Bupprtntt'iHioiit sn.vder of the North riatte tNeb.i exMrtiuent station baa lately rubllsbfd HulU-tln No. 137 un der the title. "Growing Ferret Ttpob In Western Kebraaka.' The results of the experiment conducted should be of much value to all sections of similar temperatures snd rainfall. About twenty -Ore acres at the station mentioned are devoted to experiments In tree growing on tilled land and on rough canyon lands. Some thirty va rieties of forest trees have been plant ed at various distances apart, and both In mixture and alone. Fair standi were secured with practically all de ciduous trees, but there was an almost uniform failure In the attempt to grow conifers teverirreensi on tilled ground. Of trees often planted In western Ne braska the three following are consid ered unworthy of trial black locust, preen iixh and hardy cstalna. aa the borer kill tbe Brut two and the catal nit freeJier bark and grows scrubby. The most promising fast growiug kinds of trees tire found to be the Cot tonwood. Carolina oplar. Norwsy pop lar and Uixelder. while of the more Deriniiiifiit varietle. the elm. boney locust ami hacklierry are recommend ed. Experiment with shrubs abowed that with cultivation or water consid erable success could be attained In growing the tamarisk, spiraea Van OouteL. snow bull, common and Per sian lilac, several kind of honey stickles, mock orange, golden elder, rut leaf sumac, flowering almond and a few others Anionic tbe flowers that gave the most satisfactory results for the efforts put forth were tbe pansy, tulip, peony, dahlia, phlox and gladiolus. CANNING CORN. While dried corn and corn pickled In salt are both appetizing as winter ra tions, the canning method is preferred "ij some. In using this the directions given here should be followed: Cut corn from cob when it is at the proper stage and in filling the cans or glass Jars in which it Is to be preserved put some corn in the bottom, mashing this down with a cob from which the corn has been cut until the milk comes out well. Put in another layer and mash again, and so on until the Jar Is full. Tbe cans should be slightly hesplng and tbe covers then screwed oo. tight When tbe csna nre filled and covers on they should be put in the boiler and set in a crate or frame so that they will not touch the bottom. And - they should be so arranged that they will not touch each other. The boiler should then be filled with cold wster. brought to a boll and allowed to boll for four hours. Let stand nntll water Is cool; then remove cana and try cor era to see If they are tight The cans should be kept covered with ' water while boiling, and this may be dona by keeping a kettle of boiling water bandy. ThJa method of canning Is recommended by the department of agriculture as the most satisfactory for preserving corn, beans, pess snd other vegetables. UNNECESSARY LOSS. more humid portions of the AN In the country In which oats sre one of tbe main crops considerable damage is re ported as the result of smut, a fungous dlxense that consumes the berry and leaven the stalk barren. This damage. it hlcb ruins from 10 to '25 per cent of ibe possible yield, could have been pre vented had tbe seed been given a dis infecting treatment with the formalin solution. The careful farmer should do this every spring, for. no matter bow free from smut bis grain may be at harvest time, it is almost sure to be contaminated by being run through a separator which baa handled several lots of smutty grain. Treating the seed each spring in tbe manner men tloned Is the only sure way, and it Is well worth while In view of the trifling cost snd the possible damage If the grain is not treated. Several large out shipments of sheep are atill being made over tbe N.-C.-O. Railway, and some wbich have been tsken by tbe buyers remains to be shipped although the greater portion of tbe salable sheep in the county bava gone. Tbe total number of sheep shipped out this yesr is estimated at 100,000. with a prob-able value of $275,000. A COMMON MI8TAKE. Many a strawberry bed would have yielded twice what It did thin year If .nstead of allowing a mat of vines to set last year tbe owner had kept them cut back to a narrow row and this aeuHon had kept the soil between rows thoroughly cultivated so n to conserve the wall moisture when that very hot and dry Hpell came on early in .June. Had the above Ktiant'Htiiitic been caiiled out the yield would have been affected little. If any. by the dry weather. The trouble with mowt ber ry growers, and this holds especially of those householders who grow for tbe table only, la that they let the perries set altogether too thick In tbe bed, with tbe result that the vines do not have sufficient room fur proer de velopment, while if drought comes they are done for in short order through lack of moisture. THE CHAUTAUQUA 8EA80N. This is the season of tbe summer Chautauqua, which are to be com mended both because they furnish en tertainment and because they provide a generous amount of most wholesome Instruction on a wide range of sub jects it is true tbey come in tbe farmer's busy season, but It will be well worth bis while to buy some sea son tickets so that ba and members of bis family may attend such sessions aa tbelr time permits. Not only couo try but town folks live In too much of a rot doing the same old work In tbe same old wsy. Attending the Chau tauqua will add a new element to life and make the work of every day less Irksome and monotonous. rtw)sisjawii I For Your Profit OVERCOATS IT will certainly pay you tofind out about these stylish Overcoats for Men and Young Men.

If Congress authorizes tbe addi tlonsl loan of $100,000,000 to the re clsmation fund that will be reconv mended by Secretary Lane, a consio erable share of this money will be expended in the Northwest. Realising thst Oregon has been grossly discrim mated agsinst in the past, the Secre tarv will allot sufficient money to complete the West Umatilla project. and in all likelihood the Deschutes project or some other Central Oregon project as well. C. C. Cbltwood, fire warden of Lake and Klamath Counties, and J. P. Kim ball snd wife thia week passed through Lakeview on their way to Klamath Kails from Silver Lake where they bsve been the past several dsys inves tigating the pine beetle petit which is prevslent in'the foreets'ofjtnat section. It is slated that it is too late in the season to successfully combst agsinst the nests this yesr, and tbe work will be abandoned until next summer. A news dispstch from Mexico City ot late date states that with only three candidstes for the presidency in the field, there appears to be no interest in which triumphs, and there is no speech Disking. Tbe newspapers have paid little attention to the near approaching elections, printing only occasional de precatory articles directed against tbe fidelity of the candidacy ot Gamboa, nominated by the Catholic party. Tha final outcome thus far is very doubtful. Shipments of livestock from eastern points to the Pacific International Livestock exposition at North Fort land, December 8-13, are to ba handled at one-balf tbe usual freight rates. This concession bas been made by 29 railroads represented in the transcon tinental freight bureau and will be eome effective November I. Tha ex hibitor making shipment under this tariff is expected to pay tha full one way rata on bia stock, and if it is not sold during tbe exposition, it msy be returned at owners risk free of chsrge within 30 dsys sf ter tbe close of the show.
