FJt AND CITY MAN For the past three nights there haa been n mow storm each night, which haa been of more than passing Im portance to tbe country. With the beautiful open weather which haa been prevalent In thla sec tion practically all the time for some weeks there haa been little or no moisture, so that the good weather enjoyed by tbe cltyltes, and the cause of much favorable comment, has been, In a sense, paid for at n high rate by the farmer, who waa In need of moisture, but unable to get It bo cause the clouds woutd not weep. The percentage of wetness falling the past winter and spring has been considerably below the normal, and very bit of rain or snow that come down now means dollars to the farm er, a well aa to the city people. What the loss I to each das of peo ple cannot readily be figured, but the farmer loses In lack of crop wnne the city consumer pay hi part of the expense In the consequent nigner rate for farm product. The total snow for the three nights together with the flurries during the day time, haa probably amounted to four or Ave Inches, which, coming serially and melting fairly gradually. doea tbe ground more good than It It were to come down all at once and melt Into the ground the same way. It baa been n mighty valuable fall for Klamath county, and those who have been prone to criticise nature, the county court, nnd the city admin istration for bad weather, might as well proceed to the rear and bo Mated.

FOR YONNA VALLEY FARMERS WILL PAY $49 ACRE WITHIN TEN YEARS FOR WATER, AFTER WHICH THEY WILL OWN PLANT Charle Ilortoa, the Tonnn Valley rancher, who la promoting the lrri gatlon ayatem in the upper part e that well known section. Is n gaest nt Die White Pelican. Thn dam which will hold back tlw water in hw iH acre reservoir, in practically com plete, aave for a little work which re mains to be done on the spllway, and It is estimated by tbe engineer of tha work. E. B. Henry, that tbe big naata will hold enough water to Irrigate 4,000 acre of land. The area which it la proposed to Ir rigate now totals about S.ftS acre, which la cut up Into the holding of about fifteen farmer. Many dlteheai remain to be constructed. The en terprise will mean an outlay by Mr. Horton of In the neighborhood of 115,000, nnd one unlqno feature of the reservoir a planned M that by additional construction the dam eaa be made to bold la about ten feet more of water than I la the basla now. Thla would double the Irrigat ing capacity and make R capable of watering 1,000 acres, instead of 4,000. 1 During tne winter there haa ac cumulated In tbe basin about tea feet of water, hut la the deeper part there Is about sixteen feet There I frees ten to.thlrty feet of bedrock under tbe surface of tto reservoir, wale will aoak up considerable of tho wa ter, possibly aa much na la now ae- mmuUted. After tatoTatswrptlaa takes place the baala wlU bo prac tically water tight, so far as aar seepage 1 concerned. White Mr. Horton had thought that by thla time the water woald prob able pretty near atop filling tho ba larbe'waa out recently, and found that It wa still raising about an Inch a day.. The past three nights of mow will mean n greater depth. There la about two feet of snow In the moun tains back of the basin. Tho official map of the project, pre pared by Engineer Henry, has been Died In the state house at Salem. The location of the system Is In tho neigh borhood of township 37 south, rang 11 H east of Willamette meridian. Mr. Horton will furnish water to the farmers at $40 per acre, payable over a stretch of tea yean, or at f 4 per acre per annum, after which ttey will own the system. SINGLE TAX MEN ASKED TO ARGUE J.
