Mr. Brattain vice-president, and Mr.
Consor cashier. By-laws were adopt
ed, a committee wn appointed to lease
a Buitulile business location for the
bank, and if the new institution has
the u-ual experience the remaining
compliances with the United States
statutes ought to permit the opening of
the bank on May 1st, next.
They will have as their first corres
pondents, the National Park Bank of
the New York City, and the First Nat
ional of Portland.
The trustees of the Masonic Hall
have tendered the new bank the use.
on favorablo terms, of the lower floor
of that building for a term of years.
Mr. Bailey, who is also president of
the Northwest Townsite Company, was
in Lakeview last Thursday. He inform
ed an Examiner mBn that while there
yet remains a few unsubscribed bank
shares it is belief that the demand will
be greater than the supplv. He says he
has had applications forstook from the
eaHt but he is desirous of disposing of
as many as possible to local parties.
On March 24 there were 60 subscribers,
so he stated, and as each subscriber is
compelled to make affidavit a to his
financial worth, the total responsibility
to the subscriber was shown to be
$625,200. The bank will have a capi

CHANGES IN GAM LAWS
LAKE COUNTY IS SITUATED IN
DISTRICT NUMBER TWO
No Closed Season on Trout Over Ten Inches
LongDeer Limit Reduced to Three In
Season and Other Changes Made
The new game law does not meet
with general approval throughout the
State, although so far as Eastern Ore
gon is concerned, and especially Lake
County, there is apparently not much
rctson for fault-finding. One serious
fault, however, the limit placed. The
bag limit is 75, or 50 pounds, in one
day. Whe. a party of four, for in-
tancc, goes out for two weeks on a
fishing trip it is doubtful if they could
raeh the limit. If they did 4200,
pounds or 280, fish would be caught.
One pleasing feature of the new
law is the fact that there is no closed
seiinon on trout over 10 inches long.
This will permit of Iske trout being
caught during the Winter months, the
only time in which they are fit to eat,
and there will doubtless be many tun
ing parties organized hereafter to visit
the lakes and streams during the Win
ter and earlv Spring months.
The State has been organized into
districts. District No. 2 including the
Counties of Wasco, Craok, Klamath,
Lake, Sherman, Grant, Wheeler, Gil
liam. Hood River. Morrow, Umatilla,
Wallowa, Union, Baker, Malheur and
Harney.
For this district the open season on
game animals and birds will be as fol
low: Came animals: Deer with
horns, open season from August 1 to
October 1 of each year. Bag limit of
such deer, three during each season.
Game birds, ducks, geese, rsils, coots
and shore tlrds, open season from
September 15 to February 15 of the
following year. Bag limit, thirty of
such biros in any seven consecutive
days.
SBgehens, open season from August
1 to August 31 of each year. Bag limit,
five of such birds in any one day or
ten in any consecutive days.
Blue or sooty grouse, ruffled groune
or native pheasant, ODen season from
September 1 to October 1. Bag limit,
five in any one day or ten in any sev
en 'consecutive days.

HOMESTEADERS ARE
AFFORDED RELIEF
Residence and Cultivation
Clauses are Liberally
Interpreted
The U. S. Land Office officials are
in receipt of instruction applicable
to additional entries under the enlarged
homestead act that will afford relief
to a large number of entry men. The
new instructions result from the pas
sage of an Act by Congress which was
spDroved by President Taft February
13 latt. In effect the new law permits
residence and cultivation on the orig
inal entry to apply on the additional
regardless of the date of the entry
of the latter.' Proof may be
submitted on both entries at the same
time, by showing the cultivation of an
amount equal to one-sixteenth of the
combined urea of the two entries for
one year, increased one-eighth the suc
ceeding year, and that such latter
amount of cultivation has continued
until proof is offered, regardless of
the date of the additional entry, or on
which entry the cultivation was done.
In instances where proof is
first made on the original entry meet
ing the requirments of the homestead
law respecting residence, no further
showing in that particular will be ex
act d in making proot upon the addi
tional entry: neither will a period of
residence be exacted in proof upon
the combined entry In excess of that
required under the original entry.
Where proofs have been heretofore
submitted, but were rejected solely be
cause compliance with the requirements
of the law did not continue for the re
quired period after the date of the ad
ditional entry, applications for recon
sideration will be entertained if filed
at an ealry date.
ATTACllNTCASE
IS COMPLICATED
Sheriff Snider Meets Ob
stacle In Discharging
Official Duties
Sheriff W. B. Snider last week made
a trip to Summer Lake to serve an at
tachment on a well drilling outfit in
favor of V. Conn of faisej against I.
L. Hale. When Snider reached there
he found matters in a complicated
condition. In regard to the circum
stances of the case the Sliver Lake
Leader gives the following :
Last Thursday with Billy Robinett
and Frank Barnes to assist, took
twelve horses to the place where the
machine was and hitched to the engine.
To this proceeding the Hales objected,
and declared the machine should not be
moved, that it belonged to Ora Hale,
and that he owed Conn nothing, and
ordered Barnes to unhitch, 'which be
did, and the deputy sheriff and his men
retired, and reported the proceeding to
Sneriff Snider, who witn Deputy P. D.
Reeder and Emil Egli made a second
attempt to get possession of the prop
erty. When the papers were eerved .he
Hales said it was an illegal process.
Warner replied that was a question for
the court to determine, that the attach
ment had been placed in his hands for
service, and that be would take poss
ession. And did. The nuts had been
removed from the spindles of the truck
of the engine. Snider asked Hale if
he knew where tbev were. Hale re
plied that he might be able to find
them. The drill had also been lowered
into the well after the time Fred Fos
ter bad seen it. It was not considered
advisable to try to move the outfit
which is very heavy, while the ground
is so soft, and Frank Blakely was ap
pointed a deputy and placed in charge,
with instruction to camp on the ground.
Second round for Snider. The sequel
will be found in the proceedings of
the circuit oourt. May term, Judge
Benson presiding.

TREASURERS ARE
AGAINSTPROBLEH
New Law Regarding Inter
est on Funds Is
Not Clear
A dispatch from Salem to the 0
gon Journal says: What are the county
treasurers going to do about the dis
crepancy in the rate of interest fixed in
the law passed by the. last legislature
and providing that they shall loan
county funds to banks?
Secretary of Stats Ben V. Olcott is
receiving letters from county trea
surers about the matter. Section 'I ot
the law ssys that the treasurers shall
charge the banks 2 per cent interest per
annum, while in the bond as outlined
in section 3 the rate of interest is fixed
at 1 per cent.
A Sslem banker has also pointed out
that section 1 of the act requires that
the county treasurers shall designate
the banks which are eligible county'
depositsries on June 1 of each year.
Owing to the holdover section of the
legislature, the law will not go into
effect until June 3. This banker wants
to know whether this section will pre
vent the law from becomming operative
this year. He has as ked the attorney
general for an opinion.
WATERSlMlE
THE SLASH ROAD
One Culvert Washed Out
But Soon Repaired
For Travel
A remarkably sudden change of
weather conditions accompanied by a
bigh wind Sunday resetted in a flood
of waters that caused considerable
damage to the slash road. The flood
waters were held back by ice and slush
until Monday, although considerable
water was coming down the slongh
Sunday evening. The large steel cul
verts were partly filled with ice, and
when the flood was at Its highest one
culvert was washed out. Judge Daly
immediately took steps to protect the
other culverts from damage and also
placed a large gang of men and teams
at work in putting in a temporary
bridge serosa the washout, and by
Tuesday evening the road was again
open.
Monday night the mails were trans
ferred across the break, as was also the
case Tuesday morning, the Western
Stage remaining over night at the
Hopkins ranch.
