He evidently ex wU (lu.l liiuii ""fc will have the same effect that is, ratine less cattle 10 lie raised. Ami does be aupKse the Mople fail to see the inconsistency in tliis? The price of beef has alreudy ad vanced in conaequenLe of a rexiuction of the number of cattle on the range. He grieves over this advance. He urges that leasing has for iia object the re lieving of an "overstocked" condition of the range as it lias done in Texas, w hich must mean a further reduction in the number of cattle kept on the range, and yet he has stated that U-ef is much higher in consequence of IK) er cent decrease in the number of cattle, of Home localities. Now. let us untangle this. Mr. Lusk knows that the result of leasing will lie a very great reduction in the number of cutlle kept by small holders, fanners and homesteaders. He knows Ihut these people, cannot fence range sullirieiit to piiHiure their stock, nor protect it in any way, and that they must go out of busi liens. This will create a greul general reduction, und, a ixissible decline in prices, temporurily, of beef; and a com plete dehtruction in prices of stock cattle in the handa of small holders. Many of these cattle Mr. I.uk exects to get. He and his allied vorpt rations expect to set nearly all of them, as well as the small homesteads on which they are kept; and when the irasu is over, they will eataolish such au advance as will make beef a luxury to the poor, on the very spot w hore it ia produced. If the law should provide that every hol der of small bands of stock might first take without cost such quantities of land as would be necessary to pasture their stock, they could not protect it. It would be entirely consumed by stock of the corporations while their own lease-holdings would be pro tected. There would be no possibility of holders of small bands of stock con tinuing in business. They must not only sacrifice their stock, but their small homeHtouda w hich are of but littli value except aa homes for, and helps to sup port livestock miibt also in a large measure fall into the hands of those who require posaession of the range and the stock. So Ihst Mr. I. link prouiines that the law will certainly exclude "outside syn ideates" from the privilegeof lousing, un til the "localpwncr" has first secured what he may need, means nothing to us. Foreign syndicates we don't so much fear as wo do local corporations. Theiu ore on thu ground. They know the land and the locations of the water.

If the hinds are (eused liniie steading will ceui, whateverthe terms of the law- to lease may Is;. This result the cattle barons know must follow leasing, and it ia their object. No man would placj a homestead on any tract of land now to lie 1.J.1 iu the range country, in good faith, w ith all the ad jacent government lands leased toothers. Though with free range there are count less small tracts that would lie very de sirable as hoims for a few head of stock, they would be valueless to any poor loan without free range. The promoters of this scheme t lease are all men whose interestt are in direct antagonism to the homestead policv. The Cattle King saw in this policy from the beginning, the doom of his business. Tiie sight of Indians, with their dogs end wikiapa, was ever more pleasing to him than the smoke from the settler's chimney, the glad shout of his children on the school ground, or the tingle! tingle! of his cow hell. A steady growing and spreading of these have made such 'neroachment upon the watered portions of the range as to make it evident that great herds of cutlle w ill soon lie a thing of the past, if some jsisitive check is not given to the aggressive home-builder. Leasing the public lauds w ill do it, and, in ad dition, destroy the prosperity of thous ands of prosperous little homes already established ; force their abandonment, or transfer, to those who can protect their homesteads, and who have control of the range. All this the syndicates and cattle barons clearly see and are determined to accomplish through leas in", while attempting to soothe the fears of the people iith promises of first chances to lease. It ia the pre emptor of laud ; the homesteader and homebuilder, and not migratory bands of sheep that so threaten the stability of Mr. Lusk'i business. The growing of sheep will be a prosperous business in this country long after cattle have dis appeared from the range, for the reason that there is an inexhaustible supply of food for sheep on the, range food re jected by cattle; food which produces wool and mutton in abundance, on which cattlcVill not thrive. Sheep are doing well in Lake county as well as they did twenty years ago, and on the same range. They find n this country their natural home, and their owners ask nothing oidy that they may be allowed to stay, and be handled in the manner their nature requires. Sheep must Ihi herded; they must be moved; they must bo kept in timber in summer, living on weeds, buda and leaves of shrubs. They do well ou the deserts in whiter under circumstances fatal to cuttle. These two points of winter and summer range are often two bundled iuileo ttpttil, and H liiouili or more of time is required for sheep to i i pus from one point to the other. In! this pannage they must feed on the j rune lu-tween. With the land leaed this p.tsa-ige cannot m m..de. Tin; j drive -beep nut, to supsirl l nusiness : that is f.iiling beeatise the wilderness; oiniitioii of lii'ly years ago, which made i this country then an ideal home for great herds of cattle, is now passing 1 rapidly away through the operation of the aggressive torces of civilization. The owners of sheep in Lake county art promoters of public utilities, such us telephone lines, public roads, etc. They are building hotels and residences in our tow na, spending their surplus gains in business enterprises, and are a substan tial support to every work for the gen eral good. The natural resources of I-ake county cannot be devoted to any purpose belter for the mass of eople here, nor for the country generally, than the production of wool and mut ton. The results of the industry have proven it. The blgh hills are covered with sheep in summer, yet the water comes down when needed, and spring f.eshets and floods are not more frequent here now than they were years ago. The meadows of Lake county are not covered up with sand, and dried up at times when water is needed. Dam FX 15oox. Secretary. I'lueh, Oregon, November 4, 1401 . NICHOLAS SCHLAOEL.

EXCITING TOWN ELECTION Ward Politicians ork Lively, and Much 'inquiry I Hade for the "Little Black Bottle Old Officers Win. An unusual interest was taken in the Town Election last Tuesday. Up to within a few days before election it was ' thought there would le no contest, for any of the tow n offices, but last week some of the friends of F.tigene I'.m ke, the telegraph operator, brought him out for lie. order against Clias. L'uiliajli, incumbent. On the nmrnii.g nf the election friends 'of Ie Ileall, county treasurer and local drug;ist, had tickets printed ai'h his name as a candidate for Mayor against F. M. Miller, who baa held the rdlice for two teim". Mr. Ileall was fairly launched in the local political arena, but in justice to him it must be said that the use of his name for the oc casion was entirely unauthorized. Aa s.sin as it was known that there would l.e a contest ti e wturd work hecame an imated. Itwa-i claimed hy itie friends of M ilier an I l'n:i.i' Ii that the Si-Corel and Fourth wauls, the heavied - voting wards in the . iiy, were solid for those 'wo gentlemen, und the claim proved true. The First und Third wards were weak, und many vo eri failed tu interest themselves in the flection at all. A. Hieher had il all his own way for Treas urer and wen handily. There was no opMsJtion to I'.ernard, Arzner, Schlagel und Pout, the four present Councilmen,' and these gentlemen won without an effort. . All day long from early morn till the llli closed, h ward politician was im portuned by the thirsty voter to pass over the "little black bottle." The' ' saooni were closed, as the law directs, and the frequenter of refreshment re sort for the time had lost his calling. Not a single man waa intoxicated dur ing the day, and every ballot was intel ligently cast. It wag a day of cajolery and buttonholing, and long after the bright glow of the electric light cast its brilliancy over the town, the winning candidates and their friends celebrated the victory. Following is the official vote : Mayor F. M. Miller 111; Beall 51. Councilmen Bernard 160; Amer 159 ; Sch'-agel 159 ; Post 161. Ke.-order Umbach 111 ; Burke 62. Treasurer Bieber 159. Jim Williams the crier at the polls, promptly at 5 p. m., announced in a deep "basso profundo" voice that the contest was over and "the polls are now closed until a year from today." ' Lookout Suspects Arraigned. In the Superior Court of Modoc county laat Monday the case of the people vs. Brown, F'udes and Levanton, the Look out suspects, was resumed. The attorn eys (or defendant Brown demurred to the indictment aud the demurrer was overruled. The defendant then refused to plead to the charge contained in the indictment, and Judge Harrington or dered a plea of not guilty entered. The trial of Brown was set for November 25th and a venire of 100 trial jurors was made returnable at that date. In the case of Fades the motion to set aside the indictment by the grand jury was denied. The motion to set aside the in dictment was on the same ground as in t he case of Brown, and upon the addi tional grounds that less than twelve grand jurors voted to return the indict ment. Eadea entered a plea of not guilty and the trial was set for Decem ber 16. Wedded at Lake City. A happy wedding of two prominent young people occurred at Lake City, Cal., on the evening of Oct. 81st. The paities to the contract were Luman Foakott, the prominent young rancher and stockman of South Warner, and Miss Carrie Baty, daughter of John Baty, ex-supervisor of Modoc county. The wedding which was private took place at the home of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Stiief, at Iike City. The Fxam iner joins with many friends in best wioliea for the liapoinuoa of Mi. Foekelt I and his fair bride. . .J
