Nature In its lavlid preparation ol this
country as a lindltatlon and Irvaturs)
ttouso f jr man has created a wealth il
mountain with loretta and plains, with
marah and tangled giro, with crystal
lakes, pearling streams, grassy mead
ows and buihy hills, nearly all fairly
well stocked with fish and gams, for the)
use and pleasure ol man,
And yet her work In it was not
complete as though left (or man In tin
lid.eltdsr in whole or In part. Not In
creation, but in the alockiugol her pro.
serves with the animal life to wdlcd
they seem especially adapted.
The writer recently stood upon one of
the peaks of our western range ol moun
tains and saw as a vast laaorsma, al
most the entire county spread out be
(oie him; its rivers its plains, its moun
tain! with Idelr grren (uresis, and moat
wondrous ol all twenty lakes, more than
half ol Idem land locked. Most of Ideas
lakes, seemingly made specially to afford
sport aud.recrratinn (or the angler, were
tcnantleaa tn (ar as the tinny tribe was
concerned, Juat waiting as It were to be
stocked with rainbow trout, other as
Hwan lake, Aspen and Kound Lakes,
with their shallow vegitabln covered
bosom i, awnkjlng tde advent ol the cat
(lih and thn musical bull frog. The
vaat strctchea of tule and swamp that
should be the ideal homo of the musk
rat, have never known this cunning
house builder's skill. And lis former
drnitcna of tdo lurry skin are last dis
appearing wild no hope ol their ever
Mng replaced, unless hy the rautkrat.
In tho early aelitomeiil of thia county
the spring limo was resonant with the
calls nl the myriads ol water (owl, the
mating call ol the prairie cock, tho cur
lew and the plover, while the air waa
vibrant atevo tldit with the whirr of
wings as the lowls sought their nightly
(coding grounds or their roosts.
Today while we have a (air supply ol
water lowl still left, their numbers are
sadly decimated')))' Ida pot huulor and
the nest thief, but our upland birds, tdo
saga hen, the prairie hen, the cuilew
said plover, them remain a scattering
remnant ol sage hens only.
Could not our Commercial and other
bodies procure several score ol (he pra
irie hen and partridge of the Middle
West, with perhaps a law Bob White
quail, and turn them loose under the
protection ol our game wardens to mul
tiply and restock our depleted rangssT

Tba stoking 0I our swuipt and
marshes with the edible boll-frog would

their economic and cnmmrrclsl value.
It la perhaps too late to restock our
western ranges with the mountain
aheep, antelope and mule deer that hate
been swept away by tde rapacious and
cousclouslrss hide hunter and self-styled
sport, who fvand those animals here in
rountlea s thoutands years ago, but much
could laa done to protect the few mule
deer yet remaining, from rstinctlon.
Tde anteloe, being a plain's animal,
was Ids first to dlaappear, followej very
cloaely by the mountain aheep, less
numsrotia and less widely dlatriboled;
but Ksateni Klamath ami the more
mountainous parts of take County are
still Inhabited bv the remnants ol Ide
once mighty herds of mule deer.
, These deer, gregarious in tdair habits,
would collect In large dsrds In tde (all
ol the year and travel to the lower hills
and sag plains to winter. Olleu many
thousands would be in a single herd,
and when the heavy winter stortrs cov
ered their (coding grounds would keek
shelter Jo the deep rocky canyons where
tdeycould'escspe the storms ami tlsiaj
brush on which to lite. Taking ad
vantage nl this (act the hide hunters
would lollow them to. this canyon,
wdsnr. being trapped and unable to
vscaw, entire herds were ruthlessly
butchered, thslr skins only being taken
Aa an Illustration of the relentless
slaughter of these animals, it Is slated
that ono firm shipped from a small
Kaslern Oregon town in the spring ol
1890, two hundred and fifty t lousand
deer pelts, of this number twenty-five
hundred, or one tenth ol the number,
was furnished by one party ol two hnn
tere. v-
We have a (airly good game law, II it
was eolorced, but too many regard It M
a Joke to evade Its provisions and elaugh
Isr game regardless ol season or sex.
II our local organisations will by pre
cept and example seek to protect our
game, aid in restocking onr dspleted
preserves, secure our Congressional del-
rgallon's aid in having onr lake stocked
with the fish best suited to them, and
add to the wealth and attractiveness of
our great natural game and flsh pre
serves, they will merit and receive our
heartiest commendation and co-opera

In a fight at U o'clock last night at
Bonrnia between Bill Woods and Mick
Williams, the latter received a tavtra
scalp wound, either (rom being hit on
the bead with a revolver, or from a
soft nosed bullet.
According to reports there has been
trouble (or some time between Mr.
Woods on onr aide and Nkk William
and "Curlcy" Dctol on tb other. Wil
Hams is known as a prise fighter and bo
end "Curley" hat been baaging
around Bonaata (or some UsM, doing
nothing but picking a fight wbMr
opportunity offend. Both partis ar
known hr and at LakavUw.
It is said that Woods wsnt oat to bis

Derol when the quarrel waa started.
Tb fight occurred o3tido ol Us barn
