Sliver Lake. Or., Feb. 12. The cold est weather of the season here was Ubout February 1, when 10 below sero was reached. Zero weather held for two days, when softer weather set In and a thaw has prevailed for several days, with rain and snow much In evidence, giving promise of a bountiful crop year, since the lack of frost In the ground Insures the retention of all moisture needed for crops. Grain and hay are scarce and high owing to me mnux oi new settlers. Lakevlew farmers and merchants have organized a company to erect a $12,000 flour mill. Lake county has. like the rest of Ore gon, been enjoying a mild winter. The early winter was notable for an abun dance of rain, followed by a fair depth of snow about the middle of December. Alternating thaws and light snows pre vailed until the middle of January, spend ing the moisture into the ground. Dur ing the past two weeks heavier snows were followed with the first zero wea ther, which, however, held but for a few hours. The increased population ln northern Lake has taxed the ability of local merchants to supply their wants and freighting was continued into the win ter a full month later than usual. The snows, however, caused a cessation of freight work, while stocks were but poorly prepared for the drain upon them and short rations may be a result If the winter holds late. Cattle feeding was begun quite late, j stock being in fine condition, and so continued owing to the wild weather. Stocks of hay will, however, probably be exhausted, caused more particularly by the wet weather having spoiled large Quantities. Apples and other orchard products were in excess of the demand this fall. as were also potatoes and cereals, which are quite reasonable in price, consider ing the number of newcomers who are making homes here. IRRIGATION PROJECT THWARTS SETTLERS (Special Dlapatch to The Journal.) Silver Lake, Or., Feb. 13. The irri gation segregation In the vicinity of Roaland In southern Crook county, is preventing settlement through tbe hold it has on a large tract on the upper Deschutes river. These lands are sub Irrlgated and would make fine farms without surface Irrigation, although they would doubtless do better with it. But the difficulties of obtaining the needed capital to Improve lands so far from transportation are so great that no progress is apparent, thus far. A live-year limit was originally placed UDon the concession during which to make satisfactory progress towards Ir rigation. The greater part of this time having elapsed with nothing doing, an extension or time was applied tor and five more years granted the promoters. In the meantime a few squatters have taken places expecting to see favorable results oerore tne rirst live years were exhausted, or hoping to have the land reopened for settlement, when they could file and obtain patent. The sec ond extension, however, has made their situation hopeless, so far as any favor able results to them are concerned, and prospective settlers are shunning that section as another result.
