SENIORS WIN DEBATE TKOPHV .WV.tHDKII IX FINAL KKItIKH OF DF.HATKS California Alien laud Law Nubject Was Again Ably Handled lly Fit her Hide The final debate for tho faculty cup was given Tuesday evening. The program commenced promptly at eight o'clock by music by Prof. Dar nell's Hand, after which the debute was called by the chairman, Miss Ma rie McOomb. The ultlrniatlvo side af the ques-l tlon: "Hesolved, that the policy of the Htute of California ns embodied In Allen Land Bill should be adopted by Oregon," was upheld by Roland I Hurtling and Luclle Uutloy while the negutlvo was handled by Heryl Ver non and Dayne Lynch. The discussion was well prepared and the young people produced a good argument on both sides, Indeed so close was the work that the Judges' decision, which wos afflrnil tlve two and negative one, showed in points almost a tie. After the debate, Trof. Gardner in u few well chofsen remarks presented to the Seniors, in behalf of the facul ty, a beautiful cup to be held by tho Seniors until it should bo won next year by some other class, While the crowd was not large the evnlng was a very pleasant one. The school extends to the band their ly reduced during the present Demo I rratlc Administration, atiil as n nnlur i at consequence the price to tho grov l i-r In to bo reduced.

Mr. (jerber may be right In hla premises, but It Is quite likely that the average Lake County stockmen will pursue the policy of "Wat'S'fit! Waiting" for a time at least. The producer la not averse to a reduction in the high cost of living, but he will undoubtedly object to being made the "goat" In the proposition. ItOAH (OVhTHllTKI) TO WLMT NIIIF.

The West Side of (joose Iike now has a good road unci a voting pre cinct, and hope in the near future to have a Post Otlico as well. Hurrah for the West Side. It has been the impression of many that the west side had nothing but sage brush and rocks. They little dreamed that there were such fruit ful places, such rich and productive soil and such splendid hunting and fishing. In fact most people thought it was a mere cattle and sheep country Instead of such charming spots, with homes. And I want to say to those hunting homes that there are many left to be had for the taking. Mr. (1. A. Torey moved to his homestead on the west side last year He se'.tled down in the sage brush without one brush being dug or a house built. He cleaned off the brush built an 8 room house, planted an orchard and Harden, fenced It, and raised plentiful supply of all kinds of vegetables. The vegetables, too, were as fine as 1 ever saw in any country. All the result of careful and intelligent cultivation.

"Milking the cream ery" is not the only thing to be con sidered iu the dairy proposition, and those engaging in the industry should bear In mind that fact.

The jury was empanelled Monday morning and witnesses pre uow being examined. The plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys J. C. Rutenie and W. Lair Thompson with John Dayne of Salem and L. F. Conn for the defense. The case resulted from a fire in February 1912 which destroyed the Snider Opera House and building ad joining containing the furniture stock of the Willis Furniture Co.

Wilks, suit in equity for injunction, was heard be for Judge Benson. Attorneys Thomp son and Conn appeared for the plain tiff, defendant making no appear ance, and upon entry of such default the testimony was taken by the court. The controversy akt from the defendant squatting on fractional sections of land lying between Han son's property and the waters of Goose Lake on the West Side. County Surveyor Mushen retraced the meander line established by Gov ernment survey in 1872, and from his testimony it satisfactorily ap peared to the court that the line reasonably established the mean high water line of the lake, where questioned fractional sections abut- j ted with property of. plaintiff. A j personal Inspection of this with the , County Surveyor was also made r-y the court and government field notes examined. It was ordered that the temporary restraining order be made perpetual, enjoining defendant from going upon or trespassing upon the land.

Influx of Settlers In North ern Party of County Was Be- " low Fort ItiM'k The many people who expected see stirring times last Saturday morning, the date of settlement ni, the recently eliminated lands of the national forests, were somewhat dis appointed, says the Fort Hock Times With one or two exceptions as far as we have been able to learn, every thing passed off smoothly. ' In the Cougar Mountain District there wus one case where a little trouble was encountered, three parties want ed the same claim but decided the case among themselves after two hours of debate. At the northern end of the Devil's Garden five dif ferent parties were expected to be after a certain claim but w hen th i time rolled around only John Cramp ton was ready to settle on it. It is doubtful if more than twent five claims were taken up in all the area of six townships located east ond northeast of Fort Rock. There are still many good claims left in this territory. The writer knows of one basin or valley that alone has about fifteen good 320 acre claims in it with good soil and little rock. This is only one of the many places and no one is located in it at pre sent. Mr. Hawk reports that practically all the ground available south of Fort Rock to the Silver Lake set tlement was taken up. Tents are to be seen all over this territory. Ttmpimw Visits Town Wm. Hammersley came in town lust week from Rock Creek where he spent the winter trapping. The past few weeks, owing to laborers being scarce he heus been accommodating Mose Messner iu helping him through the lambing season. He states that a portion of the lambs were marked netting an increase or 107 per cent, ond he is of the be lief that the entire band will mark from 96 to 98 per cent. Mr. Hammersley says the trapping iu this section is not as good as in former years and he is contemplating going to Alaska next season. He is the manufacturer of an animal bait for use in trapping and has done a good business selling the product the past two years. o LAKEVIEW WILL CELEBRATE It was definitely determined this morulng that a rousing Fourth of July celebration will be held hero, and to that end a committee of busi ness men have taken up the matter of soliciting funds for the purjiose.

May 19. (Special to the Examiner) The writer made a trip to High Grade today to see what there was in the Modoc mine that has caused so much excitement of late. We were taken down on the hoist by George Cline, the Modoc As sayer, and were first taken to the fifty foot level and In a drift of 190 feet we were shown that a seven-foot ledge, 10 inches of which is very high grade ore. On being taken down to the 100-foot level a scene of mueb activity ensued. The principal work of the mine is now being centered on this level, and the workers expect to strike the ledge here in about a week's time. The mine is still very wet, but the miners are working in both drifts, and General Manager N. E. Guyot states that he will put on a night shift next week. From all indica tions this property will develop into a big paying proposition, and it is the general belief that some startling news will soon come forth from High Grade.
