Some of the causes are reTealed in the existence of a number cf sppsrently uteless state offices and forr missions that have been created. We are now upending three tiroes ss much raoney for sttte pur poses as we did a decade ago but the population of the state is only one-half to one-thitd larger. Referring to useless commissions and commissioners who are idle office holders we have in mind the State Labor Commission. The Examiner fully appreciates the importance ot the labor question and fully believes In its proper adjustment and equal protec tion for the laborer. Maybe Commis sioner Ho ft is serving ua well in this capacity, but'his fifth biennial report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and) Inspector of Factories and workshops of Oregon to Governor West and the I Twenty-fifth Legislative Assembly. Teaular session. 1913. la such a gross misrepresentation of facts concerning .- statistics ot Lake County teat It is an absolute injustice to not only Lake County bat the entire state. Such conditions make the taxpayer wonder wbatbe is getting for bis money. Quoting from Mr. Uoff'a report, among other outlandish misrepresenta tions, it says : The soil is well adapted to the grow ing of grapes, hemp and hops. There are 1000 miles of bad roads in the county maintained bv tax lew. There are no railroads. The total mean pre cipitation for the year is 11.44. Of Lakeview: Harry Bailey. Mayor. The town is situated about 80 miles from tbe Oregon and Nevada railroad. The assessed valuation of town prop erty is 1300,000. There are three school nouses valued at $50,000. two churcbes, a town ball and jail valued at (50,000. There are eight teachers employed. The town needs a laundry and some real estate boomers. Other items could be mentioned that are away oft) but this is sufficient. Now. to anybody else in Oregon -besides the ones who compiled the above "Matiaties" an explanation or correction is unnecessary, but tor tbe benefit of this commission some of tbe exact facts and conditions referred to ia tbe above, are given: Our soil may be well adapted to grape growing.' but we never heard of even the most! sanguine boosters advo eatina their production. We admit ot having some bad county roads, but to sav we have 1000 miles of such is bae ignorance, natural soil and climatic conditions if notbing else prohibits such condition. . Since January 7, 1912 Lakeview has had daily train service over the N.-C.-O. Hailwiy. The ever age total precipitation bere yearly is 17 inches, which is very conservative. Harry Bailey has not been Mayor of Lakeview since 1910. The assessed valubtion of the town of Lakeview is about $900,000. There are twelve teachers employed in trie town, and there are three school houses, the high school alone representing $60,000. Our town hall ard iail are not valued at $50,000 we wieh they were. Tne town hai a Uundrv, ard we question the judgment about the reed of ral estate boomers. Iou MoCiilIey Married . Stealing a march upon his home fnendw as well as his many local friends and acquaintances, Lou Mc Culley, formerly of this place but now a resident of Cedarville, Cal., and Miss Kthel Wood of that place, were united in marriage Saturday evening, Feb. 28, in Alturas. The eereinony was performed by Judge Kaker in the presence of D. I), liax ter, Mr. McCulley's brotlier-in-law, who acted as a witness. Mr. McCulley Is one of the most substantial stockmen ot Lake and Modoc counties, and the bride is a charming young lady who lias resid ed at Cedarvllle for the past few years. The newlyweds are enjoying sev eral days in this city, after which they will return to Cedarvllle to take up' their permanent residence. o Former Resident lio Word has been received here tliat A. 0. LeSiour, a former resident of this county, died Feb. 25 in Portland, Or. Deceased was uge' about 70 years and is survived by a wife and four children all of whom are mar ried. Mr. LeSleur slid family left here about 20 years ago, they having at times lived both in Drews Valley and t.oVavIaw. He was a member of Lakeview Lodge, No. 71, A. F. & A M. and the local Oriental Chapter of Eastern Star. A WET FISHING TRIP VAXDKUPOOL MKA81HKS ICY WATERS OK HH)SK LAKE Fishing Party Hms Thrilling Exper ience on Ijtke Near Mouth of lrcvs Crtfk. Measuring with his anatomy the Icy waters of Goose Lake nearly one half mile from shore last Sunday af ternoon proved an unpleasant and somewhat dangerous job tor L. Van derpool. A fishing party, composed of T. E. Bernard, J. D. Venator, L. Yanderpool and Hay Curtis. Sunday went out to Drews Creek, on the west side of the lake. A strong wind was blowing from e nonnwesi. me ice on me iaae not of the most solid nature. and thereby hangs this tale The party was fishing from off the lake ice at the mouth ot the creek, when Bernard and Venator went ashore and to a cabin a few hundred yards from the lake, where they were camped, leaving Yanderpool and Cur tis on the Ice. When they returned to the lake the havoc played by the stilt breeze was very apparent, as the wind had drifted the body ot ice, up on which were perched Vanderpool and Curits, several hundred yards out in the lake, leaving nothing but water between them and the shore. Fortunately the party had taken along a rowboat which was soon brought to the rescue. Tne craft was manned by Bernard and the speed of the gale which every second was driving the two marooned men far ther to sea, can be realized when it is known that the brave rescuer did 'not catch up with them until nearly one-half mile from land. Further excitement was added to the predicament when Vanderpool in his eager desire to feet himself safe ly seated in Tom's boat, ventured too near the edge of his Ice Island and went to the bottom of the lake. For tunately the water .. was shallow (Van's length considered) and be did not go over his head. Fortunately al so Bernard with the boat was there to pick him up, and more fortunate still was Venator on the shore to start a big fire when he saw the "ducking." Curtis succeeded in land ing himself in the boat with only one foot wet. The fishing party returned home Monday, and aside from the exper ience they got nothing else. John Silva Funeral Impressive funeral ceremonies were held over the remains of John Silva last Sunday afternoon at two o'clock by Lakeview Lodge No. 63, I. O. O. F.of which order lie had been a member for a number of years. The funeral was conducted direct from the hall to the cemetery, and quite large number of members were in attendance out of respect to the de parted brother. The circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Silva, whose body was found near his cabin in Warner Canyon last Thursday was quite simi lar to that related in last week's Ex abiner. The man was returning to his hone from Lakeview Ti-.esday evening when he was stricken dead with apoplexy. The body was not discovered until Thursday morning when it was brought to Lakeview. After a careful examination by the doctor and coroner, the evidence .vas plain that death was due to apoplexy. John Silva wis i r.utive of Italy and about 50 years of age. He had lived in this county 'or a number of years, spending the past few years on a homestead in the Warner Canyon, north of Lakeview. He would have soon made proof on his claim. No known relatives are left to survive him. Hate Hortative March 10 The State Hallroad Commission has anounced that the reduced ex press rates would become effective March 10. The various companies informed the commission that it would be impossible for them to have the tariffs published before that dale. No Intimation has been made by the companies that they intend to fight the new schedules. If they do it would be necessary to be a Nation al fight because the rates, with few exceptions were made by the Inter state Commerce Commission. Modorn lllnrknrultli (bop' In keoplnn. wtth the progr ot the town and their Rrowlnit Dunlins, Woodcock 6 Ixonard lave added an tip to date biyid saw In their shop. The niMchtno Is manufactured by the Silver Company of Snn Franotsco and Its Installation adds trout ly to the equipment of thS wagon dopartmeut of the establishment. It not only enables the workmen to do better and more difficult work In the handl ing of both soft and hard woods, but allows them to turn It out much mere expeditiously. A new set of power drllla for both wood and Iron have been added also. This as well as the band saw and emery wheels are propelled by gaso line engine. The shop has two for ges with electric bellows attached. Among the other Improvements plan ned by Messrs. Woodcock A Leonard Is the installation of a Jointer and trip hammer, which will give them i ont of the most modernly equipped blirkcrulth and wagon repair shops J In this Interior country. They expect to also do away with the gasoline engine and use electric power. Mr. and Mrs. Hairy Rlggs spent a few days In Lakevlew last week from their homo In Warner Valley.
