well, March 14, 1871. During that
same year they moved from Salem,
Iowa, to Humbolt Co.. Calif., and in

GAMElTOIL
FOR SPORTSMEN
Numerous Qeese and Duck
Reported to Be Coming
on Lake
Sportsmen of Lake county will have
aome of the beat shooing thla season
in aeveral vears accord irg to reports
regarding the number of geese and
ducka that are now coming in. Tbe
aage chicken shooting this year baa
been good and blrda quite plentiful
Those wbo have bad occasion to
visit the lako and tributary slough aay
that' tbe ducka are very numeroua,
aome of which are yet too young to
fly. Tbey ehould be passed op by tbe
true BDortsman. . Some people go out
shooting with the idea that it ia per
fectly proper to kill every bird powsi
ble regardless of whether or not they
are able to uae them. Thla ia a serious
mistake, especially wben the season
Bret open aa the bird are then gentle
and can be slaugthered by the unscrup
ulous hunter. Duck and goose shoot
ing in this county will no doubt remain
first class for several years but . in or
oer to conaerve the aupply they should
be more or less protected and sports
men guard against their malicious
slaughter.
A bad effect in our game lawa ia that
the goose seasons open September 1,
while it ia not lawful to shoot ducka
until September 15. These birds prac
tically haunt the aame territory and
while bunting geese one ia quite likely
to see ducka. Thia la realty a tempta
tion to violate the game lawa, however,
it should not be done aa there are num
erous ducks too young to fly, and to
take advantage Of thia would be a step
toward tbelr extermination.

Burden of Support to Be
Lifted from Bill Hanley's
Shoulders
"ihe Officials of the four counties,
Crook, Harney, Klamath and Lake,
comprising tnia diBtrlct, met yesterday
afternoon and decided to advance ne
cessary funds to continue the work of
the Development League. Heretofore
President Wm. Hanley haa dug; up no
inconsiderable amount necessary to
promote the work from hia own pocket,
and inasmuch as it waa wholly volun
tary on hia part and there was no tell
ing when he would becsmd weary of ao
doing, it was considered advlaatle to
put the finances of the League on a solid
financial basis, there waa no hesitancy
on the part of anyone to the plan, and
it is likely that each county will ap
propriate $1000 to the object.

Judge Warden and ex-county Judge

200 miles more, while Judge Ellia told
bow bla county had been compelled to
build aeveral expensive bridge accrou

on roads. Klamath County ia evidently
expending vast sums on ber bighwaya.

LEAGUlMEETING !
A HUGESUCCESS
Organization Will Urge
Development of Central
and Southern Oregon
The second session of the Central
Ureogn Development League that cloa-1
ed here last week was. frought with
unlimited importance to tbe people of
Southern and Central Oregon. Tbe
leaeue haa for its object the settlement
and development of this section of
Oregon and it adapted resolutions that
will insure this development.
That it means much to the people of
thia section of the state ia patent on
its face. We should not loose sight of
the fact that the settlement of this
country will mean much to the people
of the whole eountry, because it will
furnish homes for many who are now
living on rented land and do not know
the peaf e that comes with the posses
sion of one'a own aorea and because it
will increase the number of producing
acres in the United States and thus
have a tendency to lower food prices.
Nowhere in the whole United btates
is there such a great body of undevel
oped land of aucb richness, says the
Klamath Northwestern in an editorial
on this Bection.
Great areas of the Southern Oregon
country are veritable Gardens of Eden
with Btreama and valleys and wooded
mountains of such beauty that a poet's
harp were needed to sing of their glor
ies. And yet this country is barely
scratched by settlement. When the
people of the East and Middle West
awaken to tbe fortunes that await
them in Southern Oregon, there will be
no more rushing to Canada and no more
languishing back borne wishing for
opportunity.
The decision of the four county courts
to finance the Central Oregon Develop
ment League by tax money is indeed
laudable. This will place the business
of advertising upon a sound and certain
baafa. Those in charge of tho puhli ity

HONORED CITIZEN
Oregonian Pays Tribute
To Postmaster Who Died
Near Lakeview
. In editorial oomment upon the death
of Charles B. Merrick, wbo died laat
week in the hot mineral bath below
Lakeview, tbe Portland Oregonian
aya:
"The Reaper, in claiming Cbarlea B.
Merrick aa untimely toil, abstracta
from Portland an efficient Postmaster,
an invaluable worker in the cause of
civic betterment, and an agreeable per
sonality. There are few men wbo
would be more widely missed or more
sincerely mourned in this city.
Comparatively a young man and a
newcomer to Oregon, be nevertbeleea
impressed himself firmly upon tbe pub
lie mind and affection because of an
inexbauatible energy expended in the
public good plus an inherent kindliness
and wboleaoirfeness of personality.
During two year be served aa post
master Mr. Merrick found time not
only vastly to improve bia department,
but to particioiate moat actively in a
aoore of campaigns for a greater and
better Portland. He waa the leading
spirit in tbe Greater Portland Plana Aa
sociation, as well as in several lesaer
improvement ora animations. His lei
sure ours went to the planning ol
means to provide parkways, boulevards
and ooblic playgrounds. In carrying
on these undertakings histnethoda were
effective and aerved to overcome op
position without creating friction or
resentments.
In its several aspects hia life, cut
short in its prime waa a worthy and

HILL CUP AWARDED
TO Si B. CHANDLER
Miller, Hanson, Amick
and Tyree Lose By But
Few Points
S.B. Chandler, of Crooked Creek waa
tbe fortunate winner of the Hill cup
offered for the best display by a single
individual, although bia margin waa

points, while Dexter Amick and J. F.

W. P. Tyree only 7. The Judgea were1
W. J. Kerr. C. L. Smith and 1. S.

ked on tbe percentage basis, the
number of specimens, the quality, ap
pearance, etc., being taken into con
sideration.
Tbe representation SDeecb waa made
by President Hanley, and he took oc
casion to say that on hia trio last Win
ter through the Eastern and middle
Statea on tbe "Governor's Special"
that in no instance were the exhibits
superior to those be saw here in Lake
view. That Crooked Creek should have the
Dest display was much of surprise, for
it was tbe general supposition that that
part of tbe County waa most adapted to
stock than to agricultural purposes.
Chandler's exhibit waa very complete
In fruits and vegetables, aa well aa in
grains and grasses, his display includ
ing upwards of 20 varieties. While not
so neatly arranged aa aome of, tbe
others, yet its quality waa plainly dis
cernible on close inspection When bia
rating waa 100 and otbera 98, 95 and 93
respectively, the closeneE of the com
petition is plainly in evidence.
As evidence of the rare quality of the
Lake County products was the num
