This withdrawal includes all tho upper

of the lake mid on both sides down,

sumed that the withdrawal is for irri
ration purposes. It is tho belief that

several thousand acres of land now
under water. The ipiestion has been
talked of for years, and lust year v.a
taken up by the Department at Wa-h

CLIVEDl J, ENGLISH COUNTRY SEAT OF WILLIAM VALDORF
ASTOR.
Mr. As i r, hi In the most considerable real estate owner in New York,
upend his Income from these properties abroad. It was thus possible for
hlni to buy the iniifrnltlcciit estate of Cliveden, suppoitinu one of the finest
country Inezes in Fnnland. Tho purchase was made from the late Duke of
West nil n t er. the most extensive holder of real estate in London, ns Astor Is in
New York. The lower cut shows the entrance to the estate from the Thames.
AVUllam Waldorf's son. John Jacob, was recently made a member of the Hoyal
punrds. Another son. Waldorf. Is to receive Cliveden as a wedding present when
he marries Mrs. Nannie LnuKhorne Shnw of Virginia.
Carrier Pigeon Lands.
A remarkable incident occurred at
L. 1'. Klippels ranch in Summer Lake
last Thursday evening. A earlier
pigeon Hew into tho house lined .'.it.
It was tired and worn out from h ng
llight. A silver baud encircled each
of its legs. On one of the bands was
"No. 11"j. KMo" and on the other
was "M. D. V. M. "The pigeon wai
lelt to rest in tho house and the cat
spied, U and attempted to make a meld
on tho bird. Soino one of the house
hold happened to discover tho cat in
timo to save tho pigeon, and, al
though it was injured somewhat, the
bird is utill alive and will bo all right
iu it nhort time. Tho bigeou will bo
given its freedom to travel whenever
it is able to lly, in order that it may
finish its journey. Thero is no telling
from where it camo or where it is :o
iug, but undoubtedly it bears import
ant news to some ono w ho can imiko
out tho meaning of tho figures and letters.

Lokeview VLits Paisley.
Twenty people, including tho Lake
view base ball tram went to Paisley
last week to see tho ball game to bo
played on Sunday with tho Paisley
team.
The. weather was tlno and the tiip
up was I'll joyed very much. On Sat
urday eveniug tho l'aisley people gave
a danco for the entertainment of their
neighbors, which was largely attended
and all participants enjoyed the
event immensely.
Sunday afternoon about "200 ieopl)
hied themselves to tho ball grounds
which had been put in excellent shape
for the occasion nud the game opened
at "2:15 with I.akeview at the bat.
The playing the first bix innings was
close aud interesting nud it looked
like it was going to bo it close -game,
with guesses about even us to who
would bo tho victors, up to tho last
half of tho seventh Lakeview had ouo
tally the best of the game, but a few
errors on tho part of tho Lakeview
boyn the. Stars run in five men, which
gave them tho best of the game. In
the eighth Lakeview was permitted to
score one and Paisley failed to make
it tally. In the ninth Lakeview failed
to score, leaving the game 11 to H in
favor of l'aisley, and the last half of
the ninth was not played.
Following is the tuiuniary of the
game :

There were several errors credited
to both sides, Lakeview having the
most, but a correct count was not
kept of the errors at the last part . of
the game, consequently there is no
one who would be willing to have the
extra errors marked to tbem.
The Paisley people are good enter
tainers. Everyone who visited that
town will agree with us in that asser
tion. Resides the dance and ball
game the people there sought to fur

reception and kind treatment received
Lakeview people enjoyed their visit
very much and all came away feeling
that nothing had been left undone to
make their trip pleasant. Of course
they would liked to have won the ball
game, but had no unkind feeling be
cause they could not do it.
Gerber Aires Che Meat. Question.
Loivlla, Oregon, June 10th, l'AHi.
Lakeview Examiner,
In reply to yours of recent date iu
regard to how the late San Francisco
tragedy will elf'eet the meat market,
I will give j on my views. Sau Frau-ci.-co
contained about one-third of the
inhabitants of the stale of California
but there was a floating population
there right along and wero from M to
KM thousand trancicut and tourists
there from all parts of tho world
bringing tho population up to over
,Vi0,i.Vi0 people to say nothing of the
enormous amount of meat that was
taken on all tho big liners to the
Orient and tho hundreds of -sailing
vessels winch Utt daily to all parts of
tho globe. Now as 1 said before while
the population was fully one-thitd of
the state, she consumed over one-half
of the meat used in California iu the
year l'.KV"), during tho months of Octo
ber, November aud December the
average amount of stock slaughtered
daily iu San Francisco was about 000
cattle, :000 sheep, 1000 lambs, 100
calves, 12iKl hogs, this was daily. Iu
Oakland about 120 cattle, 500 sheep,
725 calves aud 400 hogs.
Now as San Fraeniseo has depopu
lated from 500,000 to about 200,000
and tho rest of its inhabitants scatter
ed all over the United States I am
afraid wo will not have tho demand as
hero to foro and stock men will prob
ably have to look for other markets,
of course Oakland, Sacrarmento nud
Stocktou iu tho central portion of
tho state w ill probably materially in
crease their part, consumption of
meat. Rut as n rule it is tho great
metropolis which is tho market foi
all kinds of produce aud espec
ially, meat of all kinds. It will take
years and it is a very serious doubt
in ;ny mind if bhe is ever rebuilt to
tho ouco queen city of tho West as We
ull have seen her. If it would have
been a straight fire, 6ho would have
went up again but tho causo of it will
niako capital timid and thero will bo
no cud to litigation about insurance
and other matters to numerous to
mention.
Yours Truly,

HITCHCOCK FIRM
FOR RESERVES,
Senator Fulton Makes a
Final Appeal.
ASKS PEOPIE TO ACT QUICKLY.
Only Remedy is to Ask for Small
Changes In the Boundary "
Lines of Reserve.
Gifford Pinchot, forester, in charge
of the forestry bureau of the Agricul
tural Department, has abked Senator
C. W. Fulton to approve the proposed
Iennanent boundaries for the Gooee
Lake and the Fremont Foreist Reserv
es, which are soon to be created.
The senator has forwarded a blue
print of both reserves to the develop
ment league, asking for an expression
of opinion from prominent business
interests familiar w ith the land, aa to
whether any land more valuable for
agriculture than forestry had been in
cluded. Mr. Pinchot has agreed to
withold the final order for a reason
able time, until opportunity is given
the people most directly affected to
communicate with the senator.
So far as the reserves are concerned,
it seems that protest will be unavail
able, as it is the purpose of the ad
ministration to create them, but if
the boundaries embrace valuable agri
cultural land, assuiance is given that
the protests of local interests w ill be
given considerate hearing. The boun
daries iudciated are as recommended
by the otticiids of the forest service.
In aVc 'j'nrs a now law wjd go iotc
effect, which provides that agricultur
al laud in permanent forest reserves
may be lcctted and taken as home
steads. The procedure as outlined by
the law is not complex, and general
provisions insure the right of location
when a reasonable certainty is estab-'
lished that the land may lie used for
agriculture. Tho senator thinks that
if the local communities protest
agaiust only small areas within- the
proposed reserves, w hich could not be
eliminated without great inconven
ience by rearranging the general
boundaries, it might be best to wait
until the new law is effective. Aa
the secretary of agriculture has al
ways been regarded an exceptionally
liberal patron of the industries, ( his
strong moral support is expected in
tkiug for private ownership any real
argiculturul laud in the reserves.
If protests are made at this time,
they w ill have to bo hastened to Seu
atoi Fulton, as ho has rather limited
time in which to sound local senti-
merit. Tho forest cervice holds that
the matter of creating the reserves
has been discussed so long that tho
people of the communities are famil
iar with the proposed work, aud
should be able to express themselves
quickly. All protestts shuu'd state
explicitly the acreage desided to be
segregated, the uses to which the laud
could be put iu private ownership,
and the names of the people protest
ing. League Works on Reserve.
At a muetiug of the Lako County
Development League held at the
Court House on the aftemnoon of last
Saturday, farmers residing ou the
Fast side of Gooso Lako decided to
preparo nud forward to Senator Ful
ton requests for changes iu tho boun
dary liuo of Gooso Lako Forest Re

section line ou tho South of tho town
of Lakeviow aud cutting off a 6trlp
one mile in width along tho foot hills
to Pino Creek, making tho 6trip two
miles iu w idth at tho mouth of Crane
Creek. The League was also urged to
look shapely alter the West fddo irrl
gat ion project.
Dr. It. Daly addressed them in his
usual forceful manner of treat lug all
subjects, pointing out that Lake
County would Und tho way to her
goal, overcoming all obstacles to her
progress, despite the check upon de
velopment imposed by licsorves.
lie showed we are now, tho most
self reliant community iu tho htate,
aud that our Independent position
hud been reached solely through the
indomitabio energy of our people,
w ithout tho least lrieudly co-operation
of outside influences. We can
keep this lead, though another aero
of laud should never be added to our
tax list.
