The interior department has decided upon another forest reserve for Oregon this time in Southern Lake county in the Warner mountain country. direction of Secretary Hitchcock, the vacant public land in a tract of over 900,000 acres in Lake county, and 44 townobipi adjoining in Northern Cal fornia, hsve been temporarily with. drawn from all entry, with a view their examination to determine the ad. visaoiuty ol creating a fore,t receive about the town of Lakeview. The Oregon lands withdrawn are: Town ihipa 34 to 41 inclusive, ranges 16, 17 and 18; townships 37, 38 and 41, range V; townships 3U and 37, range 20 townships 36 to 41 inclusive, ranges 21 and 22, all south and east. The towr ship in whi h Lakeview 1 located, and the townships immediately north non lb and west, are not included the withdrawal. A forest reserve io the Warner Moan. tain region u re.ommended by the geological lurvey, not enly for the pre servation of the timber, but the con servation of the water eu.tly. Goofe lake lies in the center of the withdraw al, and a number of streams whit supply it with water have their head waters within that region. Moreover, the headwaters of Hpratine river. Drew trees, Warner creek, and a number other streams wonld all be protected by a forest reserve In this region. In view of the development of irri gation enterprises In Lake tounty and in Northern California, the sreation of this forest reserve is con-itlered most essential.

The remainder, beyond a ques tion of donbt, will be i.ermanently re served. Half a Hop Crop.

Still there are thoee who do not incline to this opin ion. nowever, an agree that th re will not be over half a crop in that 1 v eality. UNIONS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
