West Is Unsuccessful In
Fight Against Thomp
son's Measure
Governor West's final request to the
House to repeal Thompson's swemp act
was denied by that body the vote
standing 30 to 19 in favor of allowing it
to become a law.
The Governor vetoed the Thompson
bi'l in 1911, but this Legislature passed
it over his veto. A supreme effort
was made at the Governor's request,
through Representative Gill to repeal
the act.
Gill said he had seen a mass of cor
respondence between the Governor and
the United States Land Cilice which
shows conclusively that the Federal
Government will not give title to the
land in Klamath and Lake Counties un
less it is fold to setthrs.
Governor WeBt declared that under
the Thompson act "certain corpora
tions" would benefit.
Smith, of Klamath, took the floor
and detailed the facta of the case. He
challenged the statement of i the Gov
ernor, saying that the Thompson act,
which providea for drainage of the
swamp lands concerned, is necessary
to the development of the lands.
Howard, of Uouglna, charged that
the land should be sold by the state to
settlers and not to companies. He sain
that "if the state had showed half the
ense of the Southern Faoine Com, ,v,
it would today have $200, iH in
the irreducible school fund."
He opposed the selling ot lards to
private corporations and advocated th-!
holding of these lands by the stale and

Heryford Building Will Be
Dedicated On or About
March Fifteenth
The dedication of the Heryford Bros,
building will probably take place on
the evening of March 14, although the
date has not been definitely fixed as
yet. All depends upon the instsllation
ot the electric plant, and the mechanic
who is to install it is expected to arrive
this evening. The dedication will be
in the form of a reeeption and ball
given by the Antlers Club of Lakeview,
of which W. V. and J. D. Heryford,
owners of the building are members,
and tbe Clut expects to have its quart
era in the building open to the public
at that time. The ball will be given
in the main room of on the second floor,
end its large proportions will afford
plenty ot room for all who delight in1
indulging in the mazy waltz and other
dances. Splendid music will be pro
vided, and it is expected that the oc
casion will be one long remembered by
all who participate in the affair.

GIVKOPINION
Says the Name of Crooks
Creek Must Remain
Unchanged
"In my last letter in relation to the
subject below," writes C. W. E. Jen
nings, of Valley Kails, to tbe Examiner,
"1 made the statement that tbe State
Engineer bad no authority to change
names."
Mr. Jennings has received tbe fol
lowing letter from State Engineer
John H. Lewis:
"I am receipt of your letter of the 3rd
inst., relative to the change of the
name of Crooks Creek tu Chandler
Creek. 1 know of no means whereby
the name of a stream can be changed
as usage alone determines what the
name hhall be. This office has abso
lutely no authority to change the name
of a stream and wh le the Geographical
Board has, I believe, the authority
to recommend changes of Oregon geo
graphical names, it certainly could not
authoritively change the name. How
ever, it any petition is received here,
bearing on this matter, wa will be glad
to advise you."
PROTECTION OF
SHEENS URGED
Stockmen Should Make
Purse to Increase the
Coyote Bounty
The co-operation of the sheepmen
of Lake County is strongly urged by
J. F. Hanson in the matter of an in
creased bounty on coyotes, as well as
alorg other lines. Mr. Hanson is of tbe
opinion that the present bounty is not
sufficient to act as an inducement to
trappers when coyotes become scarce,
and lust at the time when their capture
means the most. A year ago Mr. Han
son paid one dollar out of his own poc
ket for the capture of every coyote in
tbe vicinity of bis lambing grounds.
As a result 11 of the varmints were
caught, and the further result was that
he suffered no los whatever from
coyotes during the whole lambing rea
son. Had be not offered the additional
reward it is doubtful if any of the 11
ooyotes would nave been caught, and
as a consequence he would likely have
suffered a loss several times greater
than the bounty paid.
. In Mr. Hanson's opinion the sneep
men should tax themselves a few cents
per bead of sheep owned, and -the sum
thus raised te divided into purses to be
paid to the trappers rstrhing the most
coyotes, it a purse of liOOO, to be di
vided into four or five purses, were
raised it would no doubt prove a
strong incentive to trappers to largely
increase their catches. The trouble now
is tbst when coyotes become scarce
trappers will move to a section where
they are more numerous, thus permit
ting the aHm-'is to br and n.ultioly
i. Hlil sumcif.nily numerous to uiuke
iiitir capture profitable under tbe
present bounty system.

a Large Crowd
The return game ot basketball be
tween the Alturas aud Lakeview High
School teams waa played at Snider's
opera rouse lust Saturday evening end
resulted in a victory for the farmer
team by a score of 17 to 22. While the
game was well played on the part ot
both teams, yet the condition of the
floor caused numeruous fouls, and as
a consequence tbe game was not as
sstsifactory as it otherwise would have
been. It was a case of "Slide, Kelley,
slide," on account of the floor which
Cas been used fcr dancing purposes,
and- in attempting to make a quick
stop the players would unintentionally
commit the fouls. Some excellent
clays were made by both teams, an1
tbe showing made ty Lakeview was
much tetter than the score indicated.
Prof. Baudreau, of Alturas, acted as
referee, and it was a pleasure to see
how quickly his decisions were com
plied with by both tesms. There was
no rough play whatever, tbe players
conducting themselves in a pertect
manner throughout the game. During
tbe intermission toe High School
scholars rendered a number of yells
