The Modoc Indepandint says ihat a com pany has keen organized in Modoc county for the purpose of const meting a cana! to tap Goose Lake and conduct its waters, into Pitt river, thenceover the sage brush lands iu that valley and by this means to furnish adequate means for irrigating a large area of now useless land, and at the same time to reclaim several .hritaud acres of swamp land lying along the shores of Uoose Lake. the upper end of the lake there are 20 1 J acres of land, land at the lower end there are 20,000 acres which can be drained and thus brought into use. The water will follow the channel of Pitt- river to a poiut about, six miles above Alturas, where a ditch will be started and follow the foothills around the -Berth of Hie valley, the ditch to be increased in length as the demand of wa ter requires. SUBSCRIBE -FOR- The Gazette, Many ol the immigrants who come to Oregon from the -Ka.-s.ern states have been informed by the advertisements distributed by i c ilroad companies that there are immense tracts of the fittest plow lands open for homestead and pre emption settlement in every portion of Oregon, and ate sur prised whes. find the valleys of West ern and Southern Oregon under cultivation. There is a large quantity of government land in Eastern Oregon yet, but many im migrants come with the idea of taking up a quarter or half-section praii.o kuid iu the Willamette valley. Ex. Baker City Tribune: Many times in the past year hav wt been informed the stock men of Eastern Oregon are opposed to the settlement f this country, because it inter fered with "their ranges." The stockmen are few in numbers aud tresspassers on the public domain, and as such do no not de velop the resources of the country nor in crease land vai nations. The settler ard his family take up the horaeste a improve the same, and in so doing not only adds to his own wealth but increases the valuation of surrounding property. Is it not easy to perceive whife of ! lye two is the most value to the country?
