China Tom's He ... China Tom, who keeps well inform ed as to conditions in his native laud. was interviewed Monday by an Exam iner reHirtel rcKurdintf the pending uprising between China and the Unit ed States. Whlie we believe that Tom Is a little egotihitic and flattered some what as to tho strength of his own people, it is interesting to listen to his version of the outcome of a strug gle with the little fellows of the Orient. Iu Tom's language, as nearly as he can lie quoted, he said: "Wah I Melicaus ho sen over lots o' sodiors, lots o' glilb, lots o' nheeps, Chiuaman he take em all away from him. Plurty soon he Chinaman and ho Japanese ho gettuin teso Island what ho Mel leans take away from Splauisli. " Philippines. "Yes, Phlipiue; ho takum all away from Melicau, plurty soon. Phlipines ho too far awuy from Melica, alesame light close China, he gettem easy." Are Progressing Rapidly. From the way the new Bottlers of tho Christmas Lake country aro start ing out tho older communities will have to get a move on if they keep up iu the matter of development and ad vancement. For tho short time this new community has been on deck, wonderful advancement has been made. They have a post oUlco, and besides many other conveniences of modern times that they are trying for is a school district. The people of this new locidity show every evidence of beiug a hustling and progressive people, who aro not willing to sit and wait for tho good things of tho world to hunt them up in their comparative ly Isolated homes. They are improv ing and making bold eirorts to build up a settlement that will be a credit to Luke county. Such Is the class of pooplo that are settling up Lake coun ty, and glad the old residents are to Bee them come; it serves as a stimu lant to the older settled communities to go ahead with contemplated im provements and mako life still more pleasunt to livo.

A bill by the Slate Grange, levying a license tax upon the gross earnings of the refrigerator and sleeping cars and oil companies. A constitutional amendment propos ed by the People's Power League to State Printer Whitney. J. K. Whitney, state printer, in ask ing the renomination at the hands of the Republican voters at the primary election in April, is following a well founded custom of the party in Ore gon, that when a state officer performs his duties acceptably and makes a creditublo record he Is given a second term. Mr. Whitney is a life long Republi can aud edited the Albany Herald for nearly 20 years, a paper known throughout the state for its unswerv ing course in behalf of the Republican tlckot and candidates nominated bv the party. He is a native Oregouian, a graduate of tho University of Oregon aud a practical printer. Since assuming charge of the state prlutiug office he has devoted his en tire time and attention to the affairs of tho office and with his long exper ience iu the printing business ho has been able to give the state a good clean, business-like administration.

An amendment proposed by the People's Power League to amend sec tion 2 of article 11, giving the legal voters of a municipality power to frame and adopt their own charters, and forbidding the legislature to cre ate municipal corpoartious. Cut Out the Peddlers. Quite a number of our exchanges are advising the peoplo of their locality to cut out the peddlers and buy what they need from their home merchant. Peddlers w ill soon be invading Lake oouuty, as they usually do in the spring of tho year when farmers are busy with their planting, as these fellows believe they can catch the farmer in need of some of their wares, and no time to go to town. Farmers will save money in the long run by taking a day otf occasionally and go to town for their needs, aud cut out the peddler. Our people were roped luto buying goods from peddlers last year, and presumably will play shy of them for a while. At least their ex perience ought to be a lesson long to be re meinbored. We have been in a newspaper ofllce in Lake county for 12 years, aud to our know lodge, the newspapers of the county have every year advised the people against peddlers, pleading with them all the time to patronize the home merchant, and while some have been slow to heed the advice of the papers, all, iu the loug ruu, will, wo believe nckuowlodge that they have boeu worsted by every deal they h.ave made with a peddler. If we are mis- v TY taken we earnestly request the person who has ever secured a good bargain, that he never has since regretted hav ing made, to write to us and tell as where and from whom be bought pro duce, dry goods, in fact anything and MHMired a lx;tter bargain than be could have had from his home merchant. When we say that peddlers and mail order stores do not give bargains, we do so with sincerity aud if we are wrong, we want to know it. Now, if any one can point out a single excep tion, pleaiw do so. Don't tell it to the other fellow, but write it to the newspaper man who is continually making the charge. From the Desert. Henry lioydstun came in last Satur day from I'lue-joint, where the lioyd stun Bros, are feeding their sheep. Mr. I'oydstun says several bands are being fed at Blue-joint, and the sheep look well. He says Warren Laird will have several e tacks of bay left after feeding all the sheep that come there for hay. Mr. Laird has been the means of averting a heavy loss on the desert this winter, as he is so far Out on the desert that most any band can reach his hay at most any time in the winter, while in former hard winters on the desert there was no bay in pos sible reach. Boydstun says some of tho boys who went on the desert with poor sheep will lose pretty heavy if heavy etorins come in March when the ground is scf Otherwise, be thinks the loss among sheep will not be much over average. Mr. Boydstun came in by way of the "Indian trail', and says the snow is hard to get a horse through in some places on the high mountain. He intends going back by way of Abert Lake, where he will encounter no snow. He expected to start on the return trip yesterday. Merrill Stock News. (From the Record. ) Horace Mitchell the Klamath Falls horse dealer was here yesterday buy ing horses. Ir. litcholl was kicked by a horse Tuesday on both legs and is hardly able to walk. Fortunately no bones were broken. Chas. Horton arrived here yesterday and will start 2CX) head of beef cattle to the railroad the latter part of this week. Mr. Horton is buying all the cattle he can get and may have over 300 bead to ship out. Guy Merrill drove a bunch of hors es to the lava beds Tuesday where there now is plenty of green bunch grass. Tom Offleld waa in charge of 100 head of Frank Adams' horses w hich were being driven to Montague, last Friday, for shipment. A Plucky Schoolmam. Miss Nettie Vinyard, well known in Lakeview and also at Pine Creek, where she waa raised, and who is now teaching school in Shasta county, had a little experience in her school re cently that has gained her much fame aa a plucky schoolmam and no little notoriety as au amateur surgeon. Dur ing a recess one of her boy pupils had the misfortune to get a needle stuck in his baud and broken off. Miss Vin yard, with the coolness and skill of a trained surgeon, cut the needle out with a pen knife aud dressed the boy's hand, probably averting serious com plications which might have set in had there been delay iu removing the steel from the flesh. Librvry Entertainment The entertainment to be given in a few weeks for the benefit of the public Library, is progressing nicely. The program w ill be published as soon as it can be arranged. Those who have been assigned parts in the entertain ment are practising aud it is believed that one of the best entertainments ever given in Lakeview is being ar ranged. The event is certainly de serving of the patronage of the entire community. Money cannot be better spent than to build up au institution iu our town for the eulighteumeut and moral welfare of the young people. F Rey, Leon Rey aud M. Lesleou, three sheep buyers from Reno, were in Lakeview first of the week ou their way to tho Priuevillo country, where they are going to buy up a band of sheen to drive to Reno this coming summer. Tho Roys formerly run sheep iu Crook county, and a couple of years ago drove their bauds to Reno where thoy sold them out, and pur chased a hotel iu that town. CURTAIL POWER OE PRESIDENT. Western Senators Want Reserves Created By Congress. RETARDS DEVELOPMENT WEST- Eastern Lawmakers Will Oppose Measure When it Comes Up For Action. Before the close of the present ses sion of Congress an effort will be made by a number of Western Sen ators to secure the enactment of legis lation curtailing the power of the President and the Forest Service in the matter of the creation and admin istration of forest reserves. A num ber of Western men in the Senate are in partial sympathy with Senator Hey burn, of Idaho, but none is as radical as he, and not one of the number would go to the extreme which is urg ed by him. Nevertheless, there is a very marked disapproval of the man ner in which reserves are being creat ed and controlled, and it is quite pos sible that some form of legislation may be enacted which will, in a meas ure restrain the Administration in the enforcement of its present forest policy. The main argument advanced against the creation of new forest reserves is the claim that they retard develop ment; that they restrain legitimate settlement; that they materially re duce the taxable area of the Western States, in some instances virtually disabled certain counties, and in this way it is claimed do more harm than good. The opponents, of the forest policy do not question the benefit tuat come rotU reserves of moderate area, both aa a guard against the des truction of the forests and a protec tion of the water supply, but they be lieve that each a policy, when carried out as fully as the President and Forest Service have planned, would work injury, and it is against hist ex tension that they protest These Senators would enact the Hey burn bill, or some similar measure, taking from the President the power to create forest reserves and giving that power solely to Congress. Tie enactment of such a law would not put a stop to the creation of reserves, but it would have a restraining effect and would mean that reserves would be created with less frequency and iu smaller areas Oregouian. Lulu Snider-Johnson. The following article clipped from the San Francisco Town Talk will be interesting to the people of Lake view, as the subject of the article was well known here, and the people of this place have been the recipients of many such treats as those ot larger cities are now enthusiastic over. Misa Snider always donated her talent free ly to the cause of charity and, being a favorite of all lovers of sweet voices, waa called upon to sing specials at nearly all high-class entertainments while she was in Lakeview : Linden Beckwith (Mrs. L. Snider- Johnson) is well known to the musical and society element of San Francisco. Mrs. Johnson began her professional career on the western vaudeville cir cuit in Memphis, Tenn., on August 20th. Her success was instantaneous and the press in each city in which she has appeared is enthusiastlo over her flue voice, her beauty and the daintiness and originality of her act. She is billed as "The Singing Por trait," aad appears in Old English, Irish and Scotch costumes, singing an appropriate number in each. Mrs. Johnson will appear at the Orpheum in thia city iu the early spring. San Francisco Town Talk. G. F. Holland, who waa here for s week delivering books for the Western Historical Publishing Co., . left for Klamath Falls a few days ago. He will deliver books in Klamath county, and return here in about three weeks to finish up the work in Lake county. He has some to deliver in Warner, but on accouut of the bad condition of the roads through Camas Prairie, be decided to wait a few weak before making tho trip to Warner.
