The Producers' Development League held its meeting as adver tised in the Commercial Club rooms Saturday night. The meeting was quite well attended but should have had a much larger hearing of the ranchers of this vicinity. The meet ing was a regular business session of the league at which various reports were read as well as a stirring talk by Professor Reimer of the Experi ment Farm at Talent. The committee appointed some weeks ago to look up the matter of purchasing dairy cows and increasing the dairy business of this locality reported that they found it possible to do but little until they discovered how many and whate grade of cows were wanted by the small ranchers. With commendable zeal the league adopted its committee's recommenda tion that a man be employed to can vass the community, at the league's expense, and gather this information. This is certainly a fine idea and should result in creating a great deal of interest in the dairy business. The league's committee on the proposition to establish a public mar ket in Ashland reported progress. It has conferred with the committee from the City Council and agreed to give the league's hearty support to a market if the city will start one, commencing early next yean For the reason that much produce needed for the successful conduct of a public market must be provided for now, the committee was continued and ad vised to keep in touch with the City Council committee with a view to as suring the establishment of the mar ket next year. Professor Reimer was scheduled to speak on vetch, but after listen ing to the Interesting talks on the dairy question he took up that ques tion and brought out some very im portant points dealing also with the question of fertilization of land in cident to the keeping of dairy cat tle. His talk was a plain matter of fact discussion reurijly understood by those present and w undoubtedly of great benefit. He also dwelt ofl the subject of seed corn and the pro ducing of vetch and other forage crpps, , . .. ... COMMERCIAL SEASON CLOSED. Xo More Commercial Fishing in Rogue River This Year. At midnight last Thursday com mercial fishing ceased on the Rogue in Josephine county, thecloBlng law going into effect at that hour. The tipper river remains closed until next June, when another sixty-day season opens. It is expected that many of the fishermen will continue to ply their trade clandestinely and the fish wardens are prepared for trou ble. Invasion of Jackson county is expected and all anglers are request ed to co-operate by furnishing infor mation concerning the ' commercial fishermen seen violating the law. Sale of trout and steelhead is ab solutely prohibited under the law. Salmon caught with rod and line can be sold, but the salmon season is nearly over, tbo fish soon beginning to spawn.

REVISION WJHE LAWS Changes in Statutes Applying to Homesteads lieing Pushed by Chamberlain. Colleagues of Senator Chamberlain have been frankly envious of his rath er startling record of getting three bills passed by the senate in one day. It is something to be proud of under any circumstances, and especially so at this session when anything except tariff and currency topics are practi cally taboo. The three bills were: First, allowing agricultural entries on lands withdrawn on the supposi tion that they contain oil; second, providing for a state forest reserve in Oregon; third. Senator Borah's modification .of the homestead bill. Of the three, perhaps the last is the most important. This may bj said to be especially so as regards settlers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, where the natural conditions, such as occasional heavy growths of timber, make the clearing of the land difficult and expensive. In the report which accompanied the bill when it was reported by the committee on public lands, of which . Senator Chamberlain is chairman, the following statement occurs: During the second session of the Sixty-second congress there was passed what is known as the three year homestead law. In that law was inserted a clause which provided for the cultivation of not less than ten acres of land during the second year and of twenty acres during the third year of a homestead entry made under the general law that is, an entry for 160 acres. Prior to the passage of that act no specific amount of cultivation had been re quired respecting a homestead entry of 160 acres. The attention of the committee has been called to the fact that the effect of this clause is to work a material hardship to those who are honestly endeavoring to se cure homes, who, by reason of their limited means, cannot do so upon a great deal of the public lands. The result has been to put in peril a num ber of homesteads throughout the west, and in some instances they have been held for cancellation. The purpose of the bill is con tained in the following proviso, ap pearing on page 2 of the bill: Provided, That the entryman in lieu of cultivation required herein may make improvements upon his entry by constructing fences or build ings, by slashing, clearing, or in oth er ways preparing the land for culti vation, by planting orchard, or by otherwise making the homestead habitable or capable of production, said improvements to aggregate an amount each year of not less than $1.50 per acre, except that in cases of entries under section 6 of the enlarged homestead law the amount of improvements shall be not less than seventy-five cents per acre. . The committee struck out of the bill this language: "But the secretary of the interior may, upon a satisfactory showing, under rules and regulations pre scribed by him, reduce the required area of cultivation." In view of the large number of persons directly and indirectly af fected by this proposed law, it may be well to give its full text. It pro vides "that the provisions pertaining to cultivation by entrymen of home stead lands as set forth in the sec tion of the act approved June sixth, 1912, entitled 'An act to amend sec tion 2291 and section 2297 of the revised statutes of the United States, relating to homesteads,' be amended to read as fallows: "ProyJded further that the entry man 6haU, in order to comply with the requirements of cultivation here in provided for, cultivate not less than one-Blitecnth of the area of his entry, beginning with the second year 6f i!iS entry, and not less than one-eighth beginning with the third year of the entry, and until final proof, except that in the case of en tries under section 6 of tha enlarged homestead law double the area of cultivation herein provided shall be required; provided, that the entry man in lieu of cultivation required herein may make improvements upon his entry by constructing fences or buildings, by .slashing, clearing or in' other ways preparing the land for cultivation, by planting orchard or by otherwise making the homestead habitable or capable of production, said improvements to aggregate an amount each year of not less than $1.50 per acre, except that in cases of entries under Bection 6 of the en larged homestead law the amount of improvements shall be not less than seventy-five cents per acre; provid ed, that the above provision as to cultivation shall not apply to entries under the act of April twenty-eight, 1904, commonly known as the Kin kaid act, or entries under the act of Juire seventeen, 1902, commonly known as the reclamation act. and that the provisions of this section rel ative to the homestead period shall apply to all unperfected entries as well as entrieg hereafter made upon whlc'j residence is required." flowers for City Fatl Before the cound mcllT.

Already twenty-three unregenerate sons of the desert have signed up to "cross the burning sands" and near ly as many more are "under convic tion" and have expressed a desire to "join the caravan." This is the last ceremonial Hillah Temple will pull off in 1913 and it is working to push its membership above the three hun dred mark before 1914. The main bunch of local Shriners will go to Klamath Falls by auto, probably on the twenty-ninth. They plan to return by way of Crater Lake and Medford. For those who go by train the Southern Pacific has grant ed a rate of one-and-a-third fare for the round trip providing extra coaches and special baggage car for the Nobles and their ladies. Promptly at eight o'clock on the thirtieth the steamer Winona will whistle out from the docks for a trip to Eagle Ridge Tavern and Hani man Lodge all Nobles and their la dies being carried at the expense of the Temple exchequer. At Eagle Ridge Tavern lunch will be 6erved at twelve, also at the Temple's ex pense. The boat will return to Klamath Falls by about four o'clock in the afternoon and the parade will form at about five and proceed to the place of ceremony. Joe Hurt is the mainspring of the stunt committee and O. J. Stone has charge of the ceremonial refreshments. Nothing will be left undone to make the af fair a success. During the hours of ceremonial the ladies will have the use of Masonic hall for whatever en tertainment they see fit to put on. On Sunday, the thirty-first, autos will be in readiness for all who de sire to make the trip to Crater Lake the charge being fifteen dollars for the round trip. Those who do not wish to take the Crater Lake trip will be given a free auto trip out through the picturesque Merrill val ley' and other surrounding territory. At eight Monday morning trains leave Klamath Falls bearing the Shriners homeward those having cars leaving at their own discretion. The roads are reported fine. Resolutions of Respect.
