aaya tne Orrgonlan.
The Commiaaioner of Indian Affairs
tought 41)00 heifer from William Min
ify, of ilurnn, paying for them with
fundn derived from the sale of Indian
lands to tne government. The Indian
appropriation art of 184 prohibit the
tuying of cattle from Indiana by any
but Indians, excluding squaw men,
provided the cattle have been allotted
to the Indians by the Government.
When the Anderson case came for
trial before Judge Mean the attorneys
for the defense entered a demurrer,
arguing that the In liana had a right
to sell the cattle inaamuc ' as they hsd
been bought with momy derived from
aalo of their lands to the Govern
ment. Judge Bean's decision siiatained
the demurrer and the United Mutes
District Attorney's olllce, Walter H.
Kvana as deuuty being in charge of
the case, took a wri of error to the
United States Supreme Court.
In a decision received recently, ren
dered bv Chief JuHtice White, or that
tribunal, Judge Iit-Hn's decision on the
demurrer was reversed. This means
that Anderson wi'l be rc-arramged .

Mr. Uerter, who Is one of the most
extensive dwaler in livestock in the
West, anl an authority on the market
ing of heef, believer that tho high cost
ot living is reudy to take the toboggan
slide so far an meat is concerned.
Although Mr. Gerber believes cattle
raisers will receive a fair price for
their beef next year, he does not think
the market figures ran remain where
they are today or again ascend to the
record figure of the last few months.
The price of meat lattt year was ex
cessive, declares Mr. Gerber, and It
will be some time before such condi
tions again prevail. There will bo no
sudden drop, but the decline will be
gradual and certain.
Mr. Gerber left recently for Sacra
mento, where he will pend few days
on busineH and wilt go from there to
the Sun Joaquin valley, where he will
spend the next month on business and

TROUT FEAST HAD
AT FAJRPORT INN
AlturasStudentsandOther
Visitors Were Enter
tained Sunday
Falrport, Calif., (Special) -Th
"Litilo City with a Hlg future" echoed
with clans yclla Sunday. The occasion
was the visit of thirty high school
pupils from the Alturss school under
the rare of Prof. Anthony Hone and
Prof. A. C. Rrudreau. A ten mile
hike wss made Sunday morning from
ramp near Willow Creek to Fairport
and the boys were among the half
hundred guests from vsriou points
who enjoyed one of the Sunday "trout
fests," which Landlord Spelling, of
the Fairport Inn is making famous
over Northern California.
After dinner addresses were made to
the boys by I'rof. Rose, V L. Snelling
and Fred G. Shstfer, the well-known
publicity man who Is at Fairport at
the present time.
Mr. Spelling's uddrexs was in the
nature of a word of welcome to the
guests from Alturss, Lakeview, Reno,
New I'inc Creek and other points. In
this ho outlined, in a general way the
purpose to make Fairport one of the
famous resort points ot the stste.
'W'e are endeavoring," said Mr.
Snelling, "to make arranged!' s
whereby it will be possible for fun
lovers and pleasure see kers of Heno
and all points down the line to take a
trip on the week-end excursions we
are negotiating fur. When you can
eta this you csn leave Heno at right
and awake Sur.day morning along the
shores of the Golden Goose Lake.
! You can bathe, hah, climb mountains,
prospect in the High Grade mining
dlstri t or enbioy yourself in a dozen
dilTerent ways. Within a very short
time we will have several Gasoline
launches in commission on the luke.
One of these will be a twenty five
tiassenger boat and one of the speed
iest in the state."
Mr. Shaffer's address was in the
nature of a talk to the boys on tL-
questions involving the migrstion of
good, healthy strong-minded farm boys
to the big cities.
"We csn refer to it as the high cost
of living,'" he said, "but in its final
analysis it is the cost of living high.
For the average young man the white
ways of the cities are way to insol j
vency and ruin. The idea prevalent
todav is that we should avoid the task
of becoming producers and follow the
paths of those who delight to be known
as consumer those who play their
wits against the toil of others. This
idea, however, is being dissipated.
The pendulum is swinging the other
way and thi back to the soil movement
is the logical and inevitable result.
"Twenty-Bve years ago we posicesed
a well-Lalanced country. There was
a producer of tho elemental substances
feeding consumer in the cities. Today
we have one producer of these sub
stances struggling to feed ever three
consumers. Can you regard the ques
tion of the high cost of living as a
problem heyond power of analysis
under such conditions?"

California Adopts Measure
Eliminating "Ineligible
To Citizenship"
Secretary of State W. J. Bryan
reached Sacrumeto on Monday morning
of this week from Washington and the
conferencing between he and the Cal
ifornia Governor and legislators ended
at 12 o'clock Tuesday night. If it
wss the purpose of Secretary Bryan
to check further action by the legisla
tors on an anti-alien land law, his mis
sion was apparently a failure.
A few minutes after Bryan's confer
ence with the legislators and before
most of the spectators unew what had
happened. Senator Uoynton, president
pro ten) of the upper house convened
the house and an amended land bill,
which provides that no alien who is
ineligible to citizenship may hold real
property in California, was adopted as
a substitute for the pending measure.
The action was taken unaniraouslyby
voice vote.
It will come up fur passage in the
reuular course of business and will be
approved according to the prediction
of the leaders.
When it comes to Governor Johnson
it will be signed.
The new bill is drawn with strict
conformity to the treaties between
Japan an1 the United States.
Secretary Bryan brought into the
Anal conference further messages
from President Wilson, but they were
met with no response from the legisla
tor. This act will not draw the line upon
alien who are ineligible to citizensnip.
Those words are not used. It gives
not only to Japan, but to every nation
whose subjects are intligble to citizen

the wheel. The car ia a Buick, Model
31, 1913. It is the Grand Prize in the
Klamath Fall Northwestern' great
circulation contest, which started April
21 and which i to ran until 'one 14.
"1 am in hope that the one wbo
win the car will find some scratch oo
it." said Mr. Evan when he wss ask
ed about the conditions of the road,"
and that the winner will refuse to take
the car and ask lor a new one. In
that rase I shall take this car for my
self at once and get a new one : because
the car certainly runs prettier than
any I have ever driven. I did not im
agine that any engine could do auch
good work.
"We had fairly good going until we
got to Quartz Mountain. Between
Dairy and Bly the road was rough and
wet in spots. We came by the Reser
vation road. On the top of Reservation
MoOntain we got into a pretty bad
mudhole but the car pulled herself
out after we bad give:; the engine a
chance to coot off. We didn't mind it
either because we ate lunch while
waiting for the engine to cool.
"We left Klamath Falls at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning and got to Tull's
that night about seven o'clock. We
left Tull'a a little after eight o'clock
the next morning and would bave ar
rived at Lakeview before noon except
for tbe tact that we ran out of gaso
line and bsd to have it brought to us..
"Mr. Crosby met us on the road this
side of Drews Valley. We kept going
until he met us. When we stopped the
car we hadn't " drop of gasoline in the
tank.'-
With Mr. Evans was Mr. R. M.
Bradnhaw of the contest department
of Tne Klamath Falls Northwestern.
The two men stayed until the beginning
of this week.
The car that came over last Friday
has tbe distinction of being the first
car over from Klamath Kalis this year.
It is an exceptionally fine specimen
of the Buick car. Besids the auto
mobile, Tbe Klamath Falls Northwest
ern is giving away 20 other prizes.
Southern Ureg in bas been divided
into two districts. Tbe city of Klamath
Falls has been made one district and
the outlying country another district
o that contestants in the more sparse
ly settled country will not have to com
pete with contestants from Klamath
Falls. The automobile goes to the con
testant who gets tbe greatest number
of votesin the entire contest regardless
of districts. The other prizes are dis
tributed in tbe districts.
Full details of the contest, together
with the rules governing it can be

iner. COUNTY FUNDS TO
DRAWJTEREST
New Law Provides Two
Per Cent Interest On
Public Money
Assistant Attorney General Van
Winkle bas rendered an opinion to John
Frawley, treasurer of Union county,
that county funds deposited with
banks under the provisions of the new
law which will go into effect June 3.
will draw 2 per cent interest.
There was confusion over this, owing
to the fact that in tbe body of the law
the rate of 2 per cent was named,
while in the form of the bond the
amount was placed at 1 par cent.
Mr. Van Winkle held that the rate in
the body of the law would apply aa the
other was merely a form indicating
the manner of drawing the bond.
Portland's newest (pan the Bread
way bridge across the Willarrettn River
was formally dedicated last week. The
bridge cost $1,600,000 and is now open

ibV!NE LAUNCH
FOR GOOSE LAI
A Twenty-five Passenger
Boat Will Link East
and West Side
FAIRPOKT, Calif April 28 (Special)
A twenty-five passenger launch waa
ordered for Goose Lake today by C. N.
Miller, vice president of the Fairport
Town and Land Co., and also publicity
agent for the Nevada-California-Oregon
railway. Tbe need for a boat of thia
character to put in commission on the
lake has been emphasized by the torn
of Immigration In tbe direction of
Fairport and tbe 100,000 acres, or
more, of land lying immediately tribu
tary to the town and across tbe lake
on the West side.
"The low-priced land ia proving an
attractive magnet for bomeceekers,"
said Mr. Miller today.
"At no time since the road was ex
tended to furnish transportation for
tbe products of tbe Goose Lake Valley
has the interest been so active in farm
lands. Fairport is forging to tha
front as a result of this.
"We have a decided advantage here
in Fairport, because we have tbe logie
on the proposition. Our development
does rot imply destruction, or even 1
competition, with any other point.
Lakeview, to tbe North of us, haa a
territory, exclusively and peculiarly
her own. Tbe next point of importance,
Alturas, Is over forty miles to the
South, which places us in a position
where we are the central point on the
railroad for a territory embracing over
100,000 acres of choice low-priced farm
land."
GAME FISH EGGS
TO DEJPORTED
Lake County Streams Will
Be Well Stocked With
Rainbow Trout
Mr. Wilson was in Lakeview Monday
from Crescent Lake baving come down
upon solicitation of State Game War
den William Finley to confer with the
Lakeview Gun Club in regard to plant
ing game fish in local streans. Mr.
Wlison is id the employ of the State
Game and tisb Commission and is
stationed at Crescent Lake where a
hatchery is maintained.
Owing to Lakeview's remote location
from railroad facilities from state lines
it is considered almost impossible to
import trout fry into this section, but
Mr. Wilson expressed the willingness
of the State Commission in furnishing
trout eggs tor this county as well a
the practicability of their importation.
A. L. Thornton, President of the Gun
Club made a request for 600.000 Rain
bow trout eggs which will be brought
in from Crescent Lake by auto. Tbe
lake is located in tne northeastern part
of Klumath County and is about 180
miles from Lakeview. It is said that
the trip during the Summer time can
te made easllyby auto and this affords
a splendid opportunity tor securing the
eggs. These will be brought to Lake
view and probably batched in this city
providing running water can be secur
ed for the purpose. If this cannot be
done they will likely be taken to some
nearby stream where troughs will be
placed and a small temporary hatchery
made. Tbe fish will be liberated ia
various streams of the county which in
a few seasons will develop into excel
lent sport for lovers of the rod and reeL
