The census report for the School District No. 1, show that there are
now 318 pers ins. between the ages of four and 20 years, in the district. Of
these 188 are males and 150 are females. This Is an increase of 55 over last
year or nearly 21 per cent. It is stated that this number will be greatly
augmented before the first of June.
LAKE COUNTY WAKING UP.
Lake County is evidently in a bad way, but if there is anything in the
power of the Press, the people have not long to remain inactive. The papers
over there are trying to outdo each other in instilling a little energy Into
their readers. Lakeview is about to organize a Promotion Club and the
newspapers are devoting columns to giving advice as to necessary iinprov-
mants to be undertaken. The vast number of these improvements would
d.«:outage the most enthusiastic, but the Club will find that they can ac
complish more by doing one thing at a time. The Examiner thus advertises
tiie undesireable features of the county:
“We are doing practically nothing for the general welfare, in the way of I
permanent, public improvement. Many citizens would not have our court
house as a barn. There is not a mile of permanent, good road in the county.
Our children are going abroad for educational advantages that ought to be
■'applied at home.”
CITY FIRE DEPARTHENT
Klamath Falls has a good Fire Department.
The members want to make it BETTER and eventually the BEST
of any town its size in the state.
Do you want better fire protection, and if so. are you willing to help
the b vs?
The second annual ball of the Klamath Falls Fire Department will
be given on Friday evening, March 31. 1905. This ball is given for the pur
pose of raising money to buy uniforms and other equipment for the Depart
ment. Since the organization of the present Fire Department, January 28,
1901, it has been practically self supporting and has each year added to its
equipment, until now it has two good hose carts with 1000 feet of hose, a
hoof- id ladder wagon with one extension and two single ladders, and poles,
hooks, axes, etc. It is also equipped with twelve rubber coats and several
lantern» for the use of its members.
The Fire Department is composed of over 40 members, including
most of the younger business men of the town, who all take an active inter
est in Hi- vurk. II. L. Boggs, who is one of the charter members, has been
the fire .lief since the organization and it is mainly through bls efforts that
the ent;
Asm au Jg the members has been kept up. The organization
is now
.nplete with two hose companies and one hook and ladder company,
e..h with its own foreman and assistants. These however are under the
■upervision of the Chief.
Tickets for the annual ball have been placed at tl.00. and every citi
zen In the town will be expected to buy at least one and thus help out the
good work.
If your house was on fire, you would naturally expect the Fire De
partment to come to the rescue, yet you have no right to expect this if you
ere unwilling to give at least «1.00 toward furnishing them with equipment
wall which to work.
The members do not get a cent for their service« but are willing to
devote the necessary time for the protection of the town, therefore they
should receive the encouragement of every citizen.
Do not wait to be called ^pon, but get your dollar ready and buy a tick
et whether you attend or not. If you ever do attend a dance, do not mis«
this one.
SPRING CLEANING ON THE FARM
Within the next week or two the first heralds of the migration will
be coining to Oregon, in the shape of farmers from nearly every state in the
Union. Invitations have been spread broadcast, and every inducement that
Oregon can offer has been published far and wide. The horses will surely
be brought to the water, but can they be made to drink.
Oregonians owe it to themselves and to the state that the first im
pression on interested visitors is one of pleasure, satisfaction and admira
tion—not of disappointment and disgust. Thousands of farms in Oregon
are for sale. Why this is the case is a curious inquiry, but it is so. Now
Oregon in herself can be trusted to do her part. The visitors will surely be
charmed with the main features of the places they visit. Beautiful scenery,
good land, excellent transportation facilities generally, abundant water,
healthy-iooking orchards, plenty of schools, towns and trading points in
abundance, ail are signs and tokens of a genial climate. They will have in
quired about the opportunities and profits on the farm. They will have
been told of the earnings of the dairy, the orchard, the flock and the herd.
They will be, they must be, fully satisfied that Oregon farming, if Inspired
with industry and intelligence, shows rising profits and big opportunity for
«owth and expansion.
Filled with such ideas, the newcomer will be driven up to the farm,
the nearest town may. be in fair condition—certainlv much
•j *W0«**^ovcr the plight of a few years back. How will the approach to
the house look? Will there he a neat, picket-fenced yard In front, where
"I •
Wees and carnations have been cared for, and the polyanthus and
* Daffodils are just going out of bloom? Will there be a bed of violets under
the windows and the wall flowers In their glory? Will the house have re
ceived a coat of paint, say within tile last two or three years? The orchard
trees near by will be just ready to bloorn. Will the trees be cler.n and uni
formly pruned, and the orchard soil fine and free of weeds? As he turns to
the barn and outbuildings, will all the planking be in place, with no loose
boards banging in the wind? Will there be a sidewalk from house to barn,
or will t’; • approach be knee deep in mud? And the fences to the fields—
v»iii many gaps be showing?
Now if our farming neighbors would take a leaf from the storekeep
er’s br ,k and put some work and money into setting forth the appearance
: id ad vintages of what they have to «ell, what they expended would come
• foil, fold on the sale of the farm. Here wo do not see ourselves as
ou.ers see us. if we did, some of us would set to work changing the out-
s les of our places very quickly before the buyers come round.
This sounds
"me y a •, but, depend upon it, the observance of these simple counsel«
means many thousand dollars in the pockets of Oregon farmers.-Oregonian.

WATCH REPAIRING
A watch is delicately adjusted, and does more work with less attention than any
other kind of mechanism.
Many will let their watch run for years without attention and
then wonder why it should stop.
Examination will reveal that the oil has evapo
rated and the pivots cut by small particles of sand that have sifted in, thus the fine ad
justment is destroyed involving a heavy bill of repairs.
