Thla lake lies some It or IS miles north west of the town of Sliver Lake.

At present the surplus water from these lakes finds Its war out te the desert and evaporateo. The eprtng floods fill Silver lake over en area of eome 10,000 acres. All this water can be stored back In the mountains. Tbue several hundred thousand acres can be brought under cultivation. ' The reclamation of this land would meke an Important point out of Silver Lake. It lies on the edg of the desert and lay tribute to all that country. Its Importance to the town of Paisley would also be very great, and there le enouah for sit. And ths cultivation of that land would be a strong Inducement for a railroad, - - : MOB .

' Iwawe Oyama waa bom in lsel. a samurai or noble ef the Kaaoahlma elan,- Prom his eerileet Infancy he was brouaht up ae a soldier. At 4 years of age he was separated from hie mother and began to learn the lessons of hardi hood. He wae never allowed to wince for pel a or compute of hunger. He was compelled to go barefoot In the snow In the winter te toughen him. In wintry winds he wore but the thlnneet lothee to keep his skta from being ten der. His days were spent in the prae- ttoe of arms and physical exerciser his nights la studying the bushldo, or old Japaneee code of honor, which taught the samurai that life was nothing ae compared with the glory ef hie daunlo or leader. Little Ovama was of sturdy stuff and could stand the training which killed many who are devoted to it. At the age of 10 he bad killed a bear unaided, and the eame year took part la FIELD MABBHAIi OYAMA, hla ft ret battle with the retainers of a rival dtamte. Yeuna Oyama at thla time wae passionately devoted "to" his cousin, the great Saiga, the bead of the gatsu- After the period ef the civil war m the 'SOa, when the new recline wae armly setebilshsdr the young Oyama waa sent to. France as military attache te study the organisation of modern armies, and had the opportunity of obeervtng mod ern warfare during the Franco -German conflict of ItTO. ' He remained abroad "three 7hVtiw en hie return home was appointed a gen eral la the Imperial army. . At the outbreak of the Bntsume re bellion, headed by bis cousin Salgo, and In which ble own brother took a leading part. Oyama found himself 1 a painful dilemma; his loyalty to the central gov ernment and to the person of the em peror triumphed, however, and he took the fteld salnat hla clansmen, and as commander of the flying brigade" fooaht bravely aad euooess fully until Salgo'a fall. - During the ensuing 10 years of reoon et ruction, which Marqule Tamageta de voted to establishing and perfecting the standing army and to fortifying the whole country. General Oyama was hla right band man. Without him the taak oould hardly hav been accomplished, for. after Saiga's death, Oyama had eome .to be regarded aa the representative of the Satauma dan and aeisnoer or tnetr lntereate, and he used all hla influence to secure the co-operation of the still powerful Satsnma element. Te hie credit tt must be said that be never took advantage of bis position to obtain political power. In the army as haa been steadily promoted, and he haa, alternately with Tama gate, occupied all the Important poets. Twice from 1S8SV00 and from im-'Ol he hag been minister of war. ' During the war with China he was ordered to Manchuria aa oom minder In chief of the second army. Id IMS. at the end of the war, the title of marquis was conferred oa him, and tn 1 Its he was made a marshal and the following year euoceeded the late Prince Kometsu as chief of the general staff. Marshal Oyama la almost the only one left of the older generals, ae Marshal Yamagata'e health hae not permitted of hie taking an active part In th present campaign. , .. ; .., ,. J, There le a more terrible story told ef Oyama. When he went to fight with ths Imperial forces against his cousin. Salgo, the rebel, he left behind him a beautiful young bride. It waa the cus tom In those days a on atom now modi fied for a Jepaneee woman, and especi ally a Japanese noble woman, to keep herself in seclusion. Thie duty became more Imperative during her husband's absence. She must act then, except for ths araveet .reasons, go abroad. Many stories came te Oyama on the battlefield that hla wife waa dlsreaurd ful of tne custom of her' casta She was bringing dlsaraoe not only upon herself bet upon hi name. She smirched the bushldo. Oyama heard the stories but did nothing. He wae considered a elug- ard, a Samurai, thus to-let his erring wife go- unpunished, i At one time a chance of 'war brought him near their home. -It seemed a good opportunity for him to pay It a visit He eould leave oamp and be back aaain within 14 hours.
