2 THE - SUKDAY . OREGOKlA.- P.dRTLAQ, MAY . 17,, 190 AFRAID OF TOMAIL Because It Comes From Al leged Infected Country. WAS 'REFUSED BY POSTMASTER Ke Is at Silver Lake, and Patrons Salter "While It Travels Bet-ween That Point and Bend Gov. eramcnt 3Iay interfere. BEND, Or., May 16. (Special.) The smallpox scare has iieen unduly magnified In Lake County and the authorities there, particularly Postmaster F. M. Chrlsman, of Silver Lake, are panic stricken. Post master Chrisman's fright has been so severe that he has not handled a way mall irom this direction for a month. A bushel, more or less, of land appli cations and proofs have been shuttled back and forth between Bend and Sih-er Lake, being sent out regularly from this place and as regularly spurned at Silver Lake and brought back by the mall carrier. The envelopes are worn out, time limits for contests and proofs have expired while the papers have been thus in transit, complaint after complaint has toeen made, but the Sliver Lake Post master continues obdurate. . The latest move is to establish a .quar antine at the line where the stage road enters Lake County. A Trope, has been stretched across the public highway and a man with a rifle la stationed there to sruard It. Inconsistent Quarantine. Meanwhffe Silver Lake has not hesitated to receive and forward mall from Prine vllle, which has been the seat of the smallpox epidemic Bend has no small pox at all; indeed, there has been no case of smallpox on this route between Prine vllle and Silver Lake, except the single fatal case at Beces's ranch, which is four miles off the stage road, and more than .30 miles from Bend. The Silver Lake Postmaster has taken It upon himself to stop the United States mail from this place 'Deschutes Post ofllce). Lava and Rosland, where there has keen absolutely no sign of smallpox, while he has not objected to mall from the In fected communities. The result is con siderable feeling among the people aiong this route against the arbitrary action of the Silver Lake Postmaster, which is re garded as rather more than highhanded and Illegal. Let Government Settle It. The mallcarrier is not aware of any authority for this obstruction, of the mail because of a fright that has no basis. He lias had no notice from the postal author ities to submit to such quarantine and he has 'declared his purpose of disregarding It and letting the scared Postmaster and the Lake County authorities snub up against the Federal authority.' This test will be -made with the mail that will go south Monday. t ; The result will not be known here until three days latef, however, for this Is a country of magnificent distances. It Is 5 miles to Silver Lake and 100 miles farther to Lakeview, the Lake County seat. CANDIDATES AT HILLSBORO. Reames in the Afternoon, Hermann at Night. HILLSBORO, Or.. May 16. (Special.)

Resolutions were adopted condemning the reserve, and a committee appointed to take up the work of sending out peti tions protesting against it. These -petitions were printed today and will be sent to residents In all sections of this and Curry County. There is no doubting but that these petitions will be liberally signed, as not a man Is to be found in this section who is In favor of the reserve. Its estab lishment will be a serious blow to all Southern Oregtfn' and wlli-"retard the de velopment especially of Josephine and Curry counties. Some" Of the richest mining sections of the" county- aro included In the proposed reserve. It will completely Isolate all Curry and nearly all of Josephine County. It would put a stop to the building ot tho Oregon & Pacific Railroad between Grant's- Pass- and Crescent City. A dozen sawmills now operating would have to close' down The lumbering business- of this section, which is an all-important Industry, would be. completely par alyzed.
