00 THE FARMERS

Proposition by Prlnevllle
Man to erect One.

A Farmers' Institution.
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. Few ranches In this part
of the valk-y that could not easily sup
ply from 10 to 23 cowa, aud Home,
mora The CMtimate mude in tho lot-
. tor referred to may be a little high,
which ulucos the monthly proceeds of
oue cow at $10. Tfoli wo are not pre-
. paiel to say, ! j vj't auni could be
realized y ' v &Q b It, wtiat a
uoat llttlo Income could bo derived
from 10 or 20 cowa, which could be
kept ou the ranch and consume the
product of he soil that cannot, under
present conditions, bo marketod at a
profit. 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-

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.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Tells Administration's Policy Toward Rail
roads and all Other Such Corporations.
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 :

Refused the Reward.
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

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

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.

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..
