Railroad Activity Is Ru
mored for Eastern
Oregon Next Year.
The Vale Enterprise has the follow
ing railroad item of interest :
Contractor Goldsmith who graded
a portion of the Oregon Eastern, was
in town the past week looking after
his affairs in tms section.
Mr. Goldsmith expresses certainty
thst the Winnemucca Home line will
be built in the near future and that the
Oregon Eastern will be rushed to com
pletion next season.
There hea been some Oi 11 men in
the country tne past month and rum
ors are again rife that the 11 ill inter
ests will come into Vale country by
the way of Weiser and Dead Ox Mat.
Immediately upon the completion of
tne Oregon Eastern bridges and cul
verts as well aa ballasting, the pres
ent service will be extended to Juntura
thus giving them a thru line service
which they will deserve. Thus at all
tiroes the operating department keeps
in touch with this the needs of the
public without taking part in the petty
rivalry between towns.
Mill Closed Down
The Lakeview flouring mills last
Saturday closed down for the season
after the most successful run since the
mills were established. Tha,re Is yet
a large amount of wheat to be ground,
and atill more in the hands of the
farmers, and the mills will again be
started up in the Spring.

period of more than two years the
Mute of Oregon finally has secured
land at t tin rrouth of Spring Creek for
the establishment of a Dsn hatchery.
Hiils were opened at the Klamath
Aitency and (he State had no opposi

it empties into Williamson River for
a distance ot 2000 teet up the stresm.

V hither UiH agitation has tsken a

Nevertheless, there sru some wno have
br jai't ell the matter here and it Is iid
there in a well clelineii move among
the people of C'resent to gel the ques
tion before tie people. It ia tielieve.d
it w ill he t tourfht up for a vote at the
1014 election.
Exponents of the move declare that
Cresent is destined to become a city of
considerable importance in the ship
ping work when the Southern Pscilio
and ijreat North rn lines are completed
there. Cresent is 95 miles from Klsm
sth Kails, in a northeasterly direction.
It is directly on the line or the two
rosds mentioned above and, aa it is so
far from the county seat, those living
the'e would like to have a county of
thoir own with the town as its scat.
There is considerable grour.d for
this claim becauHe. those wishing to
trsnsact business at the county seat
must go to heavy expense to reach the
city. It is fsr enough from Bend to
mean little attraction from that place
and, aa Bend and Klamath Calls are
the nearest towna of any importance,
the general belief is thst little opposi

case the Cresent people rea'ly wish to
bring the matter to a vote.

The Blamed
Troubles Of
The Examiner office has been liter
ally swamped with work during the
past several weeks, and while our
troubles may not interest the nefieral
public, yet at the same time it is nec
essary to get relief in some way. In
the first place our principal machine
operator, Geo. Whorton, Is in Ssn
Francisco learning to operate a Lino
type, his place being filled by Mrs. F.
P. Cronemiller, who acts as assistant
to Miss Alice MoUrath in operatins
the Simplex. Miss McGrsth's mother
then meets with an accident, which
makes it impsrativo that the former
remain with the latter for a time.
Then Mrs. Cronemiller is unable to
work on account of illness, and to can
the climax the managing editor con
cludes to have a sick spell. And there
you are. During all this time job
work has piled up until the foreman,
J. G. Campbell, is uncertain lust what
work to tsckle next in order to keep
from being howled at every minute
in the day, and what the end wiii be
no one knows. However, for a time
yesterday the full force was at work,
and perhaps, the worst is over.
When George Whorton returns and the
Linotype is working, we will put our
teet upon the desk, spit on the stove
and laugh at other poor mortals who
are having trouble.
OREGON CLASSED
AS CORN STATE
Corn Show At Pendleton
Reveals Possibility of
This Product.
That the Northwest has become the
rival of the "corn stsles" has been
demonstrated by the first Corn Show
held at Pendleton, laat week. The
people of Umatilla County bad tbelr
first view of real Oregon field corn.
There was corn of every description;
corn on the eob. In rows and piles;
corn on stslks some of them measuring
12 feet high. There was corn in bulk,
yellow corn, whit corn, red eoro and
severs! shades between. Prizes riven
by the O-W. K. & N. Ce., and others
amounted to $1000. Entries from 200
individual exhibitors were represent
ed. The exhibit was judged by Profess
ors Scudder, Hyalop and French, of
the Oregon Agricultural College, after
which the entire exhibit was abipped
to Portland an I displayed for a whole
wees by the railroad.
Thousands were astonished to see
the corn exhibited in the shock, on the

SUSANVILLE i
OROWINGRAPIDLY
Large Lumber Company
Responsible For Heavy
Influx of People.
Reno Journal: hred C. Smith, as
sistsnt superintendent of the Southern
Psciflc company. Das just returned to
Spsrks following a trip to Sussnville
over the new branch of the company.
He was accompanied by T. L). Le Mas
ters. "1 was astonished," said Mr. Smith,
"at the improvement in Suxsnville and
vicinity since my last visit just a few
weeks ago. Houses are springing up
like mushrooms and people are coming
into town so fast it reminda one of a
gold rush."
The rush is sttributed by Mr. Smith
to the fact that the Red River Lumber
company is Disking extensive plans to
market its lsrge holdings in Lassen
county which consists of close to 1000
squsre miles of excellent timber coun
try. The company claima it has
enough timber in eight to ship 50 csr
losds a day for the next 50 years.
The Southern Pacific is building an
extension of the railroad from Sussn
ville to 'he lumber csmp which lies 25
mtles west and expects to. have it
completed shortly if the good weather
continues. A steel bridge is now
being constructed over the 100 toot
span cf the Susanville river.
J he lumber company, through the
effor s of Flecher L,. Walker, treasur
er, and J. B. Bray, manager, nas
bought and laid out a townslte for the
employes ar.d 250 houses hsve already
been erected. There are about 90U
men in the camp at present. One hun
dred and 25 carpenters are engaged in
the work of building the town which
has teen named Westwood. It is ex
pected that 3000 employes will reside
there within the next year.
Six hundred cars of lumber are ready
for shipment as soon as the railroad is
completed and 4,000,000 feet of timber
has beep cut and used in the buildings
erected which include two churches,
an opera house and school houBe in ad
dition to residences. Sixty children
are already attending school there.
All this work has been accomplished in
the past year.
While the physician of the company
went to Susanville to meet uis family
Messrs Walker and Bray put the
whole carpenter force to work on a
residence for them and upon the phy
sician's return, 18 hours later, ho
found a completed five-room house
ready for bis occupancy.
A mill ia almost completed which
will have a capacity of six band saws
and which will be"possibl.v the largest
lumber mill in the country. One of

IT WAS LONG HAUL
TO SILVER LAKE
! Freight Increased High
Cost of Living", Says
Chrisman.
Bend bulletin: K. M. Cbrisrasn of
Silver Lake tells some tall tales of
freighting to hia town In the old days,
when a round trip from the Ualles took
about 40 days, and 4 cents a pound for
the 230-mile baul was usosl. Anyone
will admit that with that haul and
that freight rate, the high cost of liv
ing, not to mention the cost of high
living, roust bsve been nrettv steep
in Ctrismsn'a bailiwick iu the 90's.
The old trsil was by way of Shearer's
Bridge Bake Oven, Cow Creek, Bay
Creek, Prlnevilie, Bear Creek, Butte
and Button Spring, when Prinevilla
was the only town on the route.
Then, when the Colombia Southern
was built, freighting was done from
Sbsniko, a mere matter of 175 miles,
with a rate from 11-4 to 3 cents a
pound. Next wss Msdrss, as the Des
chutes roads built, and now Bend, only
88 miles distant. The present rale
j varies from 90 cents io f 1.00 a hundred.
Mr. Chrisman holds something of
s lo.ig-dlstsncc record as a postmaster.
He went into office in 1S91 and held
j the job until November 1, of this year,
when equal suffrage and democracy
gut in its deadly worn and he was suc
ceeded by Mis A. O. Martin.
PIONEER HOSTESS
GOES TO REWARD
Mrs. M. McMillan Passes
Away Formerly Con-
ducted Lakeview House.
Mrs. M. McMillan, a former resident
of Lakeview, died at Oakland, Cal.,
last Thursday, following a protracted
attack of stomach disorders. The de
ceased was well known here in Lake
view, and has many friends who will
be deeply psined to learn of her deatb.
She conducted the old Lakeview House
"before the fire," coming here from
Susanville, where she had also been
engaged in the hotel business. She
disposed of her hotel business here in
the late 90'a, going to Klamath Falls,
where she conducted the old Lakeside
Inn, and under her management in
those days the hostlery became aa well
known throughout Southern Oregon
snd Northern California as the White
Pelican is today.
In those days ths) business of the
entire county almost centered around
the Lakeside Inn, esys the Klamath
Herald. In its office were two staita
line agencies; the coming of the
steamer with passengers, from the
Pokegama line brought a dock near
the hotel. The office of the Wells
Fargo Express company was across
the street, the postotlice iiesrby and
the majority oi the stores were then
clustered in that vicinity.
The parlor was the scene of insnv
activities of that day, and the ban
quets held in the Lakeside Inn dining
room were the biggest things going.
In the lobby, buffet and parlors were
held many political caucuses and con
ferences that decided the fate of many
aspirants for office.
With the coming of the railroad the
business center ot the town begsn to
draw away from the river, and the
Lakeside Inn is now far from a cen
tral looation. In 1911 Mrs. McMillan
disposed of the hotel effects, and
shortly afterwards left for California,
where she has resided since.
Deceased was a native ot Canada,
and was about 65 years of age. She is
survived by three daughters, Marie
McMillan, who has lived with ber
mother, and Mrs. Sol Abrams and
Mrs. Ed Williamson, of Chioo.
Assessor A. I. Foster was called to

estimated that between 15,000 and 20,.

be secured from tbia tree alone at a
profit of $400.

Chewaucsn Press: A qaiet wedding
oecored in Lskeview last week which
came as a great surprise to all the
residents of Psisley and vicinity. The
psrtlcipsnts were Mrs. Julia Griffin

WOOLllRlflN
BOSTON ACTIVE
Heavy Amounts of Foreign
Supplies are Withdrawn
Since Duty Removed.
Oregonian: Trading in the Boston
wool market id the past week, accord
ing to mail advicea just received, bss
been marked most prominently by the
withdrawal of heavy amounts of
foreign supplies from bond since the
removsl of the duty. Somewhat above
3,000,000 pounds of woo' go to mske
the totsl transferred during the period,
including the largest proportion of
foreign wool for months. The realiza
tion that the trade ia entering a period
of experimentation has not prevented
it from expressing belief thst the ex
tensive "waiting" period is now ter
ruina ed.
Territory wool has been tairly active,
with a few sales of clips in the orig
inal bags. Individual sales are report
ed of 100,000 pounds Montana in the
origionl bags, at 18 to 19 cents: 30,000
oounds ot New Mexico, in the same
msnner, at a price which means 45
cents scoured : 50,000 pounds Montsna
bait-blood clothing, at 18 1-2 cents;
75,000 pounds Montsna fine medium
clothing, at 17 cents; 50,000 pounds
Idaho fine clothing, at 15 cents; 250,
000 pounds oi various grades and other
lots at a range of prices.
Removsl of the duty of foreign wool
bss had no immediate material effect
upon prices of domestic territory, but
scoured values sre slightly lower on
some grades because of the previous
sale ot the best lots. The quotations
are as follows : Fine staple, 52 to 54
cents ; half-blood staple. 50 to 52 cents :
three-eights-blood staple 45, to 46
cents; quarter-blood staple, 40 to 42
cents; clothing, choice tine, 48 to 60
cents, and ordinary fine and fine med
ium, 46 to 47 cents.
PROHIBITION TO
BE WAGED IN 1914
Statewide Campaign I n
Oregon Settled On For
Next Year.
Statewide prohibition will
issue of the 1914 campaign
be the
in this
stste.
Tne Internecine strife between the
temperance forces and the church de
nominations came to an end when the
c.n?stion of the 1914 or 1916 -ampaign
was settled for once aid all. At a
meeting ot delegates from the several
religious denominations held in the
auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. in
Portland, the matter was threshed out
with the result that the final vote de
cisively fixed the year 1914 as the yesr
in which to wage the campaign against
the liquor traffic.
This action clears the temperance
waters of the State. Many of the
churchmen bad previously been strong
ly insistent upon 1916 as tha proper
year for the statewide prohibition
campaign, with 1914 as the proper
year for the campaign for the repeal
of the local option law. The Anti
Saloon League had favored this plan
believing that more could be accom
plished by moving step by step. The
prohibition party and the W. C. T. U.
have long been pledged for the 1914
statewide campaign, however. As the
situation stood tha churches held the
balance of power for united temperance
organization. lTbe aotion of the con
ferences unites all these bodies for the
waging of the issue, for, with the
pendulum swinging toward 1914, the
Anti-Saloon League came In under
cover.
