From lieaver Creek.
Mr. Editor: I noticed an nrticlo
in your paper of last week, a clip
ping from tho Fossil Jotitnal, in
regard to a few sheep being shot in
our community.
Now tho writer knows nothing
at all about tho shoooting, and in
sorry for' any ouch proceeding,
but an I understand it wan done for
tho betterment of lieaver Creek
Mock ritngtj I would like to say a
few wore if you can find space in
your paper.
For tin; last few years sheep
from other counties have been com
ing here, and a good part of them
jnaking this their summer head
quarters, the result being our stock
are skin poor in the .fall.
Tho above mentioned article
stated that the out side sheepmen
were organized and prepared to
meet force with force. Now the
lieaver Creek settlement is small
but if there are any outside sheep
men hunting for a game and think
they can bring sheep here and
herd on the south sjdo of the moun
tain, between the Grant county
lino and tho north fork of Crooked
river an J got away with it, let
thorn come. A word to the wise" is
sufficient. One Interested.

Among tho barrels of literature
being sent out by Secretary Traffic
Manager J. C. Loary, ot the
American Cattle Growers'
Association, is a letter which
among other things contains the
following paragraph; "Cattlemen
generally favor a just and equitable
plan for the leasing of tho public
domain, A bill providing for such
leaseholds is now being prepared
by this association which will be
presented and vigorously urged for
passage at tho next session of
congress. It will Ijo favorably re
ceived if cowmen generally support
it. Docs it meet with your ap
proval?" The Fxaminer does not
believe there is a single "cowman"
in Lake county, outride of big
corporations, that will support
such a measure. It is a proposition
with tho object in view of crushing
tho small cattlemen and sheepmen.
