Tho proposition to ?rect a creamery In Ltkevlew, particular concerning which are printed ou the third page of tit Ih Untie, ik h matter worthy tho consideration of the people of the country. Farmers should le Interested la It, end take up correspondence with Mr. Skinner, the promoter, aud ascertain, to n certainty, whether or not such a venture would be of benefit to all the people, sufficient to warrant the outlay. The mutter of getting the money ought to be tho leant consider ation, lot there I plenty of Idle money in tho country, and- tho eople who ought, and are Interested l:i such veu turea as would lend to promote their 'owu class of Industry, all, or at least, moat of tbeui have money which they could easily spare to invent if the Mchemo was shown to le, not only a money maker for thorn, but a mean of putting the product of their farms into canli.

Economical methods for feed lug and corlug for cowa have been aubjoca for high-class experlmentH for years pant, until the umtter hits boon profitably solved by farmers in places where marketing in more convenient, aud every foot of the farm is mude to produce, in such places every llttlo niche and coiner la made to produce the food for tho cow, while the body of tho farm la entirely devoted to grain for maiket. Tho proportion of a creumery for this country ban been often discussed nud its merits nut out in aucb sntls fuctory manner that many hnvo ex preHHod their desire to see tbe venture uudertukou. Farmers till over the world, for all time, have complained that corpora tions lu the bauds of capitalists huvo borne down upon them so heavily, " beared' ' tho raw material murket apd "bulled" tho market for tho finished product, that the farmers, the actual producers have not realized tholr just sharoof the profits of ..their product. ' Hers now, is a scheme for the farm ers themselves to coutrol tbe whole thing; form the corporation among themselves, make prices that will be liberal to all and reap the profits themselves.' If the profit is in tbe raw material, it is theirs, if it is in the finished product, it is theirs. The farmer with 0 cows can take five hares, and the ono with 20 cows can take 20 shares, or for that matter either can take all the shares they want, but mako it a farmers' corpora tion, to be handled aud controlled by the producers. Figure on this. The Examiner oolumus are open to tho froe dlsoussion of the project, by any and all. Ball Tournament at Paisley. The base ball tournament to be pulled otf at Paisley on the ICth aud 17th. of this month Is looked forward to with great expectations. Silver Lake will bo there iu full iross, and Lakevlew teHiu Is cordinlly Invited. The expouse ot visiting tenuis will be paid and a good time guaranteed. Tho Paisley boys are auxlous to know whether Lakevlew will honor them with their presence They wish to know early, bo they can mukenrruuge meuts for their aooomiuodution and eutertalnmont. They promise to make it return visit if the Lakevlew boys will visit them on this occasion. The National Forests' There has been a change In the terms used to designate tbe different withdrawals for forestry purposes. Heretofore the withdrawals have been known as Forest Iletierve. and here after tho term National Forest will be applied, so that tbe reserve in tbe vi cinity of Lakevlew will be known as the (loose Lake National Forest, and the northern reserve as the Fremont National Forest, and others changed likewise. In the vicinity of the Fremont For est about one hundred residents have availed themselves of the free use of timber, which glvos each applicant about 40 cords of dead timber or about 20 cords of green tlmter. Also about 40 persons In tbe vicinity , of the (loose Lake Forest have availed themselva of this privilege. Approx- 1 'f '-.r i ..ii 1 imivmiw. . jj.jf -i - '! . it- '3? Marvin Hart, Defeated Pugilist, Imately, the ofllce In Lakevlew has given away, ltX cords of wood, about one-balf groen, 20,000 poets, 1M0 polea, GOO rails, o0,0U0 sl.r kea. Partiea attcui lug'tns tree use of tlm lxr are required to take all the tim ber out, pile the brush and not make any waste. The ofllce here has made seven tlm lor sales in the Fremont Forest and two In the Goose Lake Forest, for liv ing yellow Pine. These sales are small, being to local sawmill men. Very few people aro aware that pas ture privileges aro availul.lo within the Forests. Five such permits have been granted lu the Goose Lake For eist Biid 10 in the Fremont. This pri vilege allows any pe.eon to fence 320 acres within tho Forest, which he muy use for pasturing middle horses, cowa, stall i ou s, bucks, etc. Uu may secure this tract your after yeur. Theie huve beeu two permits granted for wagou roods through tho Forest, aud numerous crossing permits for stock. Already about 800 miles of boundary line bus beeu run out and posted by tho forest ofllcluls here. The otllciala report that theie has not been a sin gle case of tresspass up to the presout time. This speaks well for the high regard tbe people have both for forest laws aud for tbe officials in charge of the Forests in this district. It is hoped that these conditions will con tinue to prevail fleeting of City Co uncll. E. Keller was up from Pine Creek to attend the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday evening. The Electric light company has been prevailed upon to render more efficient the lighting system, especially in the wiuter months, as the present system has not been according to the con tract. The compauy were present Tuesday eveulug with a proposition to either buy the towns wlnug, or sell cut the plunt to the town. Tbe mat ter was taken uuder advisement Under the present system the revenue derived from the plant by the com pany Is hardly sufficient to guarantee the best service, amounting to in the neighborhood of $150 per mouth. In order to increase tho service more machinery must be installed fwhloh will add to the exponse of (operation. Further than discussion of this matter, little was doue outside of the regular routine business. Al. Blouu returned from Millville lust week, whore ho went lust siunmer with C. S.

President Iloossvelt today, says an Indianapolis dispatch to tbe Oregon Ian of May 30, delivered tbe principal address at tbe unveiling of a monu ment to Gen. Henry W. Lawton. Tbe speech was devoted to a discussion of tbe railway problem, extracts of which follow: Tbe rights of property are less in jeopardy from the socialist and tbe anarchist than from the predatory fan of wealth. v The power ot the Nation must be exerted to stop crimes of cunning no less than crimes of violence. There can be no swerving from the course mapped out. We beet serve interests of the honest railway men when we announce this. We should seek to discourage tbe activities of the man whose ooly con cern with railroads Is to manipulate their at jcks. Tbe movement to regulate railways by law has come to stay. The men more anxious to manipulate stocks than to make the management of their roads efficient and bonest are only ones who have cause to oppose it. Wherever evil-doers can be, they bull be brought to justice; and no criminal, high or low, whom we can reach will receive immunity. We favor the railway man who oper ates bis railway upon a straight forward and open business basis; we are against only tbe man who cares nothing for the property after bis speculative deal in its securities has been closed. We wish to make it to tbe interest of the investor to put bis money into tho honest development ot tbe rail roads. Tbe great masa of our railroad se curities rest upon safe and solid foun dations. Capitalization must be de termined In large measure by future need rather than past investment. Existing securities should be tested by the laws in existence at the time of their issue. l!ut the public interest requires guaranty against Improper STUDENTS SCORE OVER REGULARS. The best ball game of tbe season was played lust Thursday forenoon at the ball ground iu the race track. What is called the ''regulars" cross ed bats with the high school team. The game was hotly contested for and the students wou iu a score of 10 to 9. There was plenty of money in sight ou the regulars, but they lost. The first of tbe game looked easy, then it wasn't so easy, then a tie. aud lu tho eighth inniug the students end ed with one scalp to their belts and tbe rogulurs couldn't make good in their half of tbe niueth. Both sides played good ball and the game was lutresting throughout. Following is tbe line up and the runs made by the various players : High School Lakevlew.

When the thousand dollars, offered by the Oregon, California and Nevada Livestock Protective Association as a reward for the conviction of parties for stealing stock from members ot the Association, was offered Mr. O. B. Parker last week, after the vordict of tbe jury in tbe Barry-Cronln case was rendered ,Mr. Parker said he was not working for the reward, aud would not take the mouey. The association thou weut to Ablatiom'a saddle shop and ordered the beat saddle that could be made, for Mr. Parker, as a pies eut. Mr. Parker worked hard to gather the evideuce and was deserv ing of the reward money, as well as a great deal of praise for his suocess, but be said all he doue was iu the in terests of the firm of which he is fore mau, aud wanted no reward. multiplication of securities In tbe future. in providing against over-capitalization we shall barm no human being who Is bonest; and we shall benefit many, for over-capitalization often means an inflation that invitee busi ness panic. We hope to secure as complete pub licity In tbe affairs of railroads as now obtains with regard to National banks. Most certainly there will be no re laxation by the Goverment authorities in tbe effort to get at any great railroad-wreckerany man who by clever swindling devices robs investors, wage workers and does injustice to tbe gqperal public. Those who complain should put tbe blame where It belongs upon tbe mis deeds which are done in darkness, and not upon tbe Investigations which brought them to light. There will not be tbe slightest let-up in tbe effort to bunt down and punish every dishonest man. But tbe bulk of our bubiness Is honestly done. The surest way to invite reaction is to follow the lead of either demagogue or visional y In a sweeping assualt upon property values and upon public confidence. Tbe great need of the hour is tbe need of better transportation facilities, for additional tracks, additional ter minals, and improvements in tbe ac tual handling of tbe railroads. There are balckmailers in public life, and the citizen who is. honest will war against tbe man who' tries to black ' mail a railroad or a big corporation with the same stern determination to I pulsb bim as against the man who corruptly favors each corporation. Tbe man wno is on occasion a cor ruptionist hunt such a man out of public life. Hunt him oat as remorse lessly if be is a blackmailer as if he stands corruptly tor speciul privilege. Let tbe man of great wealth remem ber that, while using and enjoying it, bo must nevertheless feel that be is In a sense a trustee. MOTHERS' DAY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL "Motnera' Day," in the Primary department of the Lakeview school, is looked forwaid t owith pleasurable anticipation by tbe mothers as well as the pupils, since established by Miss Hull last year. Last Monady was the day observed this year, and many mothers availed themselva of this opportunity to view the work ot their little ones. Miss Hall had tbe work arranged around the room In convenient form for in spection, showing the first, and later work of the pupils. A very decided improvement was manifest. The room was deoorated with a quantity of bright flowers, aud tbe bright and happy faces of tbe little ones which, to the guests were beautiful as any flower. The pupils, in tbe program prepared, and in their regular lessons, did won derfully well not considering their age either, becae.se few -of the older ons could do as well. In a class of 17 in the Becond grade Monday morning, only two missed in spelling out of the third reader, from the first page to page 72. After the exreeises, a refreshing fruit drink, and cake was served , first to the children,, who were then dismissed and the mothers were served and then tbe teachers. In all 89 were served, by Mrs. J. N. Watson and Mrs. C. O. Metzker, assisted by the Misses Pearl Diebert and Alice McGrath. Forest Appointments. The following appointments have been made by the forest department for Oregon forests : Venron V, Ilarpman and M. Thur- mau Cannon, have been appointed Forest Guards ou the Cascade (S) National Forest, to take effect Juue 1. R. E. Smith has been appointed a Forest Guard ou the Blue Mountain (E) National Forest, to take elfoot June 1. No Charge for Water. Tbe farmers in tbe West bave been greatly alarmed in the laitt few weeks by tbe persistent circulation of a re port to tbe effect that the administra tion was preparing to make a charge for water derived from tbe National Forests aod nsed for irrrigation and other general purposes. The report, it appears, has not the slightest basis of fact, anl dm been denied by offi cials of tbe Forest Service. In a letter concerning tbe rumored charge for irrigation, Forester Pin cbot says that be does not believe that there ever should be, or ever will be, a charge for water for irrigation. Tbe erroneous report was founded on mi- representation regarding tbe charges wblcb electric power companies are required to pay tor use and ocenpancy of laoda in tbe National Forests for n.i '-v. i Mike Shreck. Tonopab Champion. reservoir sites, conduit rights of way, and power stations. This charge is solely for the use of tbe lands, based on their value for such purposes, and is not it any sense a charge for water. x Tbe appropriation and use of water is regulated solely by tbe State and tbe Forest Service has no jurisdiction in the matter. In tbe case of irrigation projects, tbe Forest Service does not even charge for the use of lands for reser voirs and canals. Hundreds of per. mits have been issued bv the Forester to occupy and use National Forest lands for irrigation reservoirs and? conduits, and such permits are always granted free. Death of M. T. Wal ters.' From lip to lip, in low, sorrowful aud falteriug tones, tbe news of- the death of Mr. M. T. Walters was spread about town yesterday morning Death relieved the patient sufferer at 2 o'clock yesterday, Wednesday morning, June 5, 1907. Mr. Walters baa suffered from stom ach trouble for many years, and for many months bas not left tbe house. He has gradually failed for months untill the end came peacefully yester day morning. Mr. Walters has long been an Odd Follow, and a meeting of that order was called for 8 o'clock last evening to muke arrangements for his burial. Mr. Walters bas a history, and tbe time required to gather data is too long to allow of more than a brief mention of tbe particulars tbis week. Martin Thomas Walters was born in Bastrop county,, Texas, December 7, 1838, making bim 68 years, 6 months and 23 days old. He married Harri et Smith at Austin Texas, Feb. 4, 18G2.

EXPENSIVE TERM OF CIRCUIT COURT Fines will Nearly Pay the Costs of Session, PAT ANGUND CASE CONTINUED. Two Caaes Appealed From Decis , aion of Lower Court. $2o6! Paid in Fines. ' When The Examiner went to press last Wednesday night tbe Barry-Cionia v case was under way. Tbe jury in the case was given in our last issue. Tbe case was turned over to tbe jury about 9 o'clock that evening, and af ter three hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. Thursday being a legal holiday the court announced " that sentence would be passed at 9 o'clock Friday morning, but was de layed until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Tbe sen ten w Imposed was a thou sand dollar fine for each of tbe de fendants and tbe payment of the costs of the trial, which amounted to 8811.- 50, making a fine of $1,405.75, eat h. which tbe defendants paid that eve ning. The ruling of the court in the course of tbe trial in tbe matter of the intro duction of the evidence introduced by Cornelius Finucane, upon which a perjury charge was Instituted against Finucane practically decided that case against tbe prosecution, and tbe perjury case was dismlseed. The evidence given by Finucane in the Barry-Cronln case last fall upon which the perjury charge was bused was declared by the court immaterial . to the issue, therefore perjury could , t not be oharged. . . .. j , . The Pat Anglund case, in w hftjtfia.rfvr. jury disagreed was continued to aext term. In the case of Scblecht vs Schlecht, suit to recover money, tbe court al lowed judgement. Appeal was taken to tbe Supreme court in the case of Mrs. Ellen Jones vs. The Warner Valley Stock Com pany, decided against Mrs. Jones during vacation. W. W. Brown took an appeal to the Supreme court in the civil action against W. Z. Moss. The verdict in the criminal action practically decided tbe civil case in favor of Moss. Tbe court ruled that the horseshoe-triangle . brand belonged to'Moss in Lake coun ty, and upon this ruling tbe criminal suit was won by Moss, the defendant. From this decision Brown appealed. This bas been one of tbe most ex pensive sessions of circuit court evei held in the county. It is believed that the expense of the term will ap proximate $3,000. After all, however, fines bave beeu imposed to nearly cover the expense. Mike Barry paid $1400.75, John Cron In $1405.75., Ruf. George, $100 and "Dutch Charlie" $50., making a total Of $2901.50.. (lathering Data. Mr. H. A. Hunter, of the Hunter Land Co., ot Minneapolis, and one of the owners of the Oregon Military Wagon Road grant, who is now in Lakeview looking after the company's large interests In Lake county is one of tbe shrewdest business men we know. He does not overlook the smallest detail to putting himself in full knowledge of conditions relating to his business. He is a subscriber to Tbe Examiner and cuts out the weekly weather record published la this paper aud makes it a part of data J on the country. Mr. Hunter is pre ' paring an extensive article for publi cation in the Sunset Magazine, highly illustrated with photographs of scene ry lu and about Lakeview. I . Shreck the Winner. j Tbe right pulled off at Tonopah on Decoration Day between Mike Shreck and Marvin Hart was won by Shreck in the 21sl round. Hart had, during a previous fight, broken his wrist, -and it is said that his baud gave way on bim. . He declared that bad hU wrist held out be would 'have licked Shreck, as he was In no othewlsa beateu. Both meu slugged hard tbrouuout and at times it seemed that Hart would win despite the fact of his game arm. During the 21st round tbe seconds threw up tbe sponge and the game weut to Shreck. t I u
