April 2I, t'.lITOK I'.XAMIMKM, JL- I,nkcvlcw, Orcgi I 'ka ii Nil:: full, Knowing tlmt ,vimi v Mi to Is fair, I Is'llevc you will give my ntiNWcr I In iiiim publicity you unorded tho one Im wruii' tin1 article headed, "Dny Drive, Nny 'Allium.' " Tho contention I have made Im tu maintain tin present fxNillti mall service from PaUlcy to Nllver I,nke. Tli K-t It Umim have ashed tlmt tlx Hummer schedule In no changed tliut th mull will In delayed twelve hour lit PaUlcy, lA't UN SUppOSO t tlllt II IM.tltlll WUH rlrciiluted to doawuy with theulght run from M add I no to Alturn. It this wan changed to a day schedule It would take forty-eight hour to bring the tnnll from tho railroad to JjUevlew. Would not the people of Ijihevlew be Indignant at such n move? Hut suppose the people around Ukely objected to the night service Hiyltijrthey wanted to send fruit In to AlturaN and that the stage going through at night dlMturlied their n-st Would the jieople of Ijikevlew Im willing in consideration of the feel ings of the Likely foUs to wait another twenty-four houro for their until? Wim that route cstabllMhcd to carry fruit or to carry mall, and If the driver should have more fruit than the Mtago would hold would lie leave the mall and bring the fruit? Th In In Identleal with the situation on till end of the route. There would Ite Junt as much sense tn the K'rtplo here unking to have the inill delayed t wouty-four hours at Made line or A It 11 rim or Ijikevlew an at Paisley. Then In no fruit at Sum mer Lake that tan not lie Nhlpped by stage At night Junt an well a In the daytime. And any farmer can leave his money with any one of our mer chants and draw ;i. cheek and Mend It by the night mall with jicrfcct safety TheNe excuses for the change are puerile. There In not a single valid n-ason why our esjK'dlted service should be abandoned. Nor have I Hcen a single person who signed the IK'titlou lccnusc he preferred the day ruti, outside of the two parties In terested. Tho jioopli signed It out of pure charity. Thin wan wrong. They had no more right to ask this change than they would to jK-tltlou to abandon the night run from Mad illne. Hut If the principle of the exH'OItcd nervine In maintained, when tho rail road reaches Bend, we will get our Portland papers forty-eight hours utter they nre printed, and they will reach Lake view much tiooner than they do now. Should not Lakevlow lie ah much Interested lu maintaining tho Integrity of the mall service on t his end oh It Is from Madeline? This works no hardship nor expense on any private Individual. It Is done by the government. Then why nhould we not mill ourselves of these benefits? Alhua would have you believe that the petition complained of was to expedite the service iustead of de lay It. I'.y un expedited service mall that reaches Lakevlew Friday night would lie delivered at Hummer Lake Saturday morning. Hy his method It would not get there till Monday morning. I am not trying to Impose a night service on Mr. Bryaiij That petition was forced by the action of thepost mnster at Niimmer I Jike and the car rier. Hut the night run from I Re view will probably hot boestahllMhcd until Lakcvlcw nxks for It. Paisley In the future will In more concerned about getting mall from the north. It won my recollection from the summer three yearn ago that the night schedule called for Nnturday flight, an It. should, Inxtcfid of Sunday night, but In this 1 erred. Hut even iin It Im the mall that leaven Sunday ii luh t would not go till Monday morning by a day schedule, ami In preferable. I wImIi to way a won) as to the ht noiiiiI attack upon myself. Aliqua offerN thlN grntnltoiiM snrcHMm: "The plomrrs, home builders of thlN conn try, were not aware that they ought to cotiNtilt Mr. Naln about matters that concern thcmNelrcs alone." Iet me say right here that If a slnglo pioneer or home bulkier will prove to mo that It will Ik a Uneflt to him to have a change to a day service I will offer no farther objre. tlons and I will help hlin to get It. Rut he must show mc that he does not auk It Hlmply to benefit the car rier. My ancestors fought la the Kevo lutlonary War, lu the War of 1SI2 and In the Civil War, and they set tied In Ohio U-fore It was n state. Do I lost any of my rights as an American citizen lecauc I have come to Oregon. Has any pioneer here any Utter right to tho (.'tilted Ntates malls than I have? If he has then his ancestors came to America 1s. fore mine did, and have rendered iM-tter service. Again It Is complained that I am a "stranger." I ask to have the mall service maintained. The carrier ob jects to the night service which he has contracted to s-rform. Ix-t us see which Is the more "stranger"aud which has the better right. I had paid Into the Iake county treasury the sum of five hundred dollars ls fore he had even set font on Its soli lie still has so little Interest In the county that he (1ihs not even sub scribe for his home paper. I sub scribe for the lake county papers and for four years have paid for copies to go abroad to help adver tlse our resources, as every good cltl- xen should. Again contrast a man with no In terest In his homo puier with a man like Virgil Conn. I took the stand In this matter simply liecause Virgil Conn was making single handed such a noble fight for what was right. If It were not for the support that Virgil Conn gives l'alsley would haye no ncwspaicr. lie Is one of the town' most public spirited cltlxens, and he characterizes the petition to slow down the mall service as the stupidest thing he ever knew some men to bo guilty of. He says it is absurd to think that a man who has stood still all his life knows more than one who has moved about, and that the question Is not How long bus a man liccu a pioneer? but What has he produced? In conclusion I lug to say that no man who advocates an honest course need hide behind a fictitious name. Hut I think Allqua Is right. It I had written such a letter as ho has I would bo ashamed to sign it. I subscribe myself, very slncerly yours, C. M. Sai.v. S. T. Colvlu who spent most of tho winter in California returned to Lakevlew Tuesday.

ANOTHER BAND OF SHEEP KILLED News reached liere by phone from Silver Jike Inst Saturday that another band of sheep had lieen killed by nine masked men In the vicinity of Christmas Lake 30 or 40 miles from the scene of A bloody massacre only a few months ago when nearly 2000 head of sheep were ruthlessly slaughtered by five, sup poMcd to Is; of the same gang. Pete Grob, Jonas Norln, and Har rison Price ull wintered their sheep on the deMcrt and as the spring waa backward they decided to leave their dry sheep on tbe desert and bring the others in tbe valley for lambing, and to make the expense lighter put tbe three bands together, thus hav ing but one camp. A man by tbe name of Wilcox was left with tbe sheep 2700 bead. Thursday evening about 4 o'clock nine men appeared at Wilcox's camp and ordered blm to move his sheep, giving blm two hours in which to do so, Tbe sheep were bedded for tbe night and of course It was impossible for him to comply with tbelr request. The gang went away and In two hours returned, and informed him that they were going to kill the sheep and that if anybody came to arrest them they would kill the officers also. Thej further stated that if a reward was offered for them, they would kill the party offering the reward. After blindfolding the herder with a grain sack, the gang went to tbe , band and with guns and clubs be gan one of the most outrageous pieces of devtlty that ever blackened tbe good name of a county or state, the work of demons. None but tbe lowest of humanity, unfit for a civil ized comunity would participate in such a dastardly job. Out ot the 2700 sheep, but 300 were lert the next morning. The hefder went to Silver Lake and phoned to Lakevlew to Mr. Norln and Mr. Grob. It was a shock to tbe boys that was sad to witness. Mr. Grob bad worked bard for two years to get a foothold, hav ing leased a band ot sheep from C. A. Rehart, and to hear that the re sult of his two years of hard labor had gone to the ground in a single night at tbe hands ot a lawless gang of desperadoes, was enough to make a less resolute man lose bis head entirely. Harrison Price was also a heavy loser, and Mr. Norln says the liest of his band went. It Is understood that C. B. Parker and W. A. Sherlock are also heavy losers. Mr. Norln immediately hired a crew ot men and started tor the camp to save what wool he could from tho dead sheep and get the remainder ot the band together before' they too were destroyed by coyotes. It was rumored Sunday that three ot the sheep-killers had been appre hended, but tho rumor was given no credence. So far as wo have been able to learn, no suspicion rests on anyone, and no clew leading to the apprehension of the guilty parties is yet made public. Last week several of our towns men went with Pet Groob to War uer canyon where his sheep were and helped to bring them to town where hay and shelter could bo found for those that had been sheared. It was very unfortunate for Mr. Groob that tho suow storm came right In the midst ot sheep shearing. Lanibing is just beginning and it is expected that many lambs will be lost as a result of the btonu. A
