States informs The Examiner that holding that the legislature bas a constitutional right to pass laws regulating the cutting of timber on private lands, if the cutting is liable to be detrimental to tbe public wel lare, tbe judges of tbe Maine Supreme Court banded down an opinion of great importance to tbe owners of forest land in tbat state, and of inter est to land owners in all parts of tbe country. Tbe opinion refers particularly to Cutting of small timber which should be left growing to give a forest cover which will conserve the water and lessen flood ravages and prevent or diminish soil erosion and consequent filling up of tbe rivers and lakes. The judges specitlcaSIy state that regula tions of tbat kind cannot be constru ed as tbe taking of private property for public use, and that tbe state need not pay for young growth which it may forbid tbe owner to cut This was not a court decision, for do case waS'before tbe court for re view, but was a forma) opinion prepar ed at the request of tbe senate for tbe guidance of tbe legislatme in tbe enactment of laws to tegulate forests and protect tbe interests of tbe pub lic Similar questions have come up in other states and may be expected to come up in tbe future. In tbe proposition which the Maine senate submitted to tbe judges for their opinion it was stipulated tbat a law should not be enacted which would interfere with clearing land for agricultural, mining or roauufaactur ing purposes, or for building sites, or pleasure grounds. The purpose is to forbid total stripping ot forest land where a forest cover is necessary to prevent the wash" of the soil, the lessening of flood rvaf.ee, aod tbe mitigation of droucht, and where tbe! ry la to state our beliefs or opinions without mtterness, and let it go ou ucb basis. If approved, well and good; and. If otherwise, a clear cons cience will at least give Its appioval of aucb course. Our eyes, however, are fixed upon tbe future. We believe, honestly, tbat there are great things in store for all of Lake County, and In tbe earnest exploitation of tbe diversified Inter ests Of tbe whole county will oor energies be entirely devoted. Tbe Leader truly says tbat all of Lake county does not centet at Lake view, "but tbat it embraces a large area of territory peopled with as good aod true men and women at tbe sun ever sbone down upon." Judging from those we have met so far from all parts of tbe country, we can and do readily accept tbe statement of the Leader as to tbe character ot tbe peo ple. We also hope to be able soon to accept tbe very kiud inritation of the editor of tbe Leader to be "our guide, philosopher and friend" In making tbe acquaintance of the good pecple of Silver Lake, Paisley, Summer aod Christmas Lake valleys. Tbe Examiner bas beard much good of tbe resources of otber parts of this county, and as it is tbe representative paper of tbe entire county, will sure ly devote its energies towards develop ment of every section. But, In order to do all justice vve must have tbe aid and assistance of the people of toe entire county. We wish particularly to receive all tbe local doings of inter est from each of tbe valleys. We want the news of all new arrivals and the object of their coming : the improve ments going on of every sort; facts about tbe stock interests ; tbe rainfall ; tbe crops, conditions, yields of grain, fruit, mention of tbe marriages, births, deaths; accidents; news of tbe mines;! goings and comings, and tbe like. We do not want to slight any neighborhood, and if friends of Tbe Examiner will take a little pains to report such things to us, we tbink we can make a newspaper tbat will be ot interest to every man, woman and child in Lake county. Such is our aim and purpose, and we think tbe last two issues of Tbe Examiner are a fair sample of what ourreaders may expect of os in the future. received the popular vote for United States senator, tbe question baa been raised as to the duty of tbe leflslatore in tbe preiuiaea who have slgoed Statement No.1. Tbere is only one answer tbey should live up to tbelr obligations and vote for tbe people's ohoive. Not only la this course neceaaary to vindicate their integrity an men, but to maintain tbe principle of electing United Htatwa senators by tbe direct vote of tbe people. , "While it is generally admitted tbat United States senators should be elected by tbe people, aod the Constitution of the United IStates should be amended so as to provide for such an election, many are oppos ed to th present system, ana tbe obligation involved In Statement No. 1. by many sucb tbere baa been a most deterimned effort made to de feat tbe law by electing an unpledged legislature or rendering It odious In tbe eye of tbe people by electing a democratic senator from a republican state, but 1 believe tbat sucb a course was a mistaken one, and tbat sucb efforts will fail. "Furthermore, 1 am firmly con vinced tbat any political party Id tbe state of Oregon will ultimately suQef defeat onlesa it fol'y aeqoleecea in tbe desire of the people to participate In the (lection of fthelr 'senators aod to bind the legislature to carry out tbeir will, as expressed In the June election.

M date for United States Senator, is out with a statement to tbe republican id embers of tbe legislature who signed Statement No. 1, advising tbemtolive up to tbeir pledges, aud to vote for Mr. Chamberlain. Unquestionably, if so disposed, the legislature could elect any one that body could unite upon, aa the consti tution of the. United States makes such requirements, and that part has not been changed. But, tbe baigan and purchase of senatorsbips by class interests, too notorious to ignore in all parts of tbe Union, and especially true in this State, bas so incensed the TAFT IN OFFICE In nn artkio to be published In the current Issue of Collier's Wevkly, Sec retary Taft sots out his concept ion of the duties of the office.

For that reusou his successor may well disregard any charge of lack ot originality if he does not make an entirely new program of his own.

A man may not erect a danger-! oua building ou bis city lot because! it wouiu imperii or damage ine property of ttlei's. T'or the suaie reason, a forest owner may Le restrained from denuding his hillsides to such a degre as to send down upon the lands of his neighbor the toil wash to cover their meadows, choke their streams, and injure them in tbeir rightful use atd enjoyment of property. It was declared that there is nothing in the constitution of the United States or in that of the state of -Maine prohibiting the enforcement of a forest law of that kind. Maine's greatest wealth is in its foi ests dhect'y or indirectly. In sev eral ways it bas been a pioneer in for est legislation and rranagemeut. It is one of the few states probably the only Btate whose forests are nearly holding tbeir own. Lumbering bas gone ou tbere for a long time, aud every year there is something ready to cut. Tbe folly of stripping laud and leaving it defenseless against erosion is well understood in Maine, and the legislature has taken tbe pre liminary steps toward a law to compel unwilling forest land owners to leave enough small timber aud brush on the ground to cover it. WILL BOOST FOR ALL Tne Silver Lake Leuder, published in the uoithern part of the county, gave The Eaxminer extended mention in its last issue, in which praise, cen sure and advice were intermingled. In reply the present editor of The Examiner will Bay that be knows nothing of tbe past, so far as concerns tbe politics, or the animosities there by engendered, in the affairs of this county. Life is too short, and time too precious to make a practice of picking flaws in tbe opinions of men because of polcitical difference.

A parallel case is bad in the election of govern ors of stateH, against tbe will of Hamilton, who wanted such Joffice made appointive by the president. The result, if Hamilton had bad bis way in that matter, would In all probability, have been as scandalous as has been the history of tbe election of United States senators, in not one, but in all tbe states a mere matter of barter and sale, to the utter defeat ot popular or even represenative govern ment. The people of Oregon evidently will have no more of it, and while tbeir effort at reform does conflict with the requirements of the constitution, it is eafe to assume that any effort to thwart their will as expressed at the polls, will result disabtrously on the poiltical future of any who might dare sucb attempt. Taking all these matters into con sideration, the action of Mr. Cake in calling upon bis friends to stand by Statement No. 1 is a just recognition of the rights of tbe people to make their own choice. While it may, for tbe present, hurt bis party and him self individually, yet we can not help believing, iu bis case, that virtue shall have its owu.reward in tbe fut ure. The following is the letter of Mr. Cake as it appeared in tbe Portland Telegram : ,"Tbe official count being complete and Governor Chamberlain having fact that .Mcdfolil's spreinl charter under which the decision wits render ed s passed by the legislatun; of : ." after the pnssuge of the hc;t op tion law l.v the initintivc, ami it completely nullified t he local option !

Taking a cue from this decision the the wets of Klamath Falls are mak ing a fight to nullify the "dry" vic tory in that county. I lnid and Kuty, off beautiful nights ! our htrei 1 .1 t Itese. The Portland papers have long weilded a hammer on the pretensions of that city as a great aeaport, by constant reference to the Columbia river "bar", which, thanks to the success of the Jettlen constructed by the government, is now a thing of the past. San 'ranclsco has her "Golden Gate," known the world over, Portland now nhlpn more grain than the latter, and the end Is not yet, as Central and Southern Or egon, comprising the great Inland Empire, will soon help to hw 11 the out-put. This being the case, why not call the mouth of the Columbia, "Empire Way", or "Gate", or "Pass", and cut the bar out? Or, if the city craves a distinction of that sort, make it "Portland Gateway". The world would soon learn, like the the triU's of old, to "frame the words so as to pronouneo It aright, la order to gain admission therein."
