'He told Harry Hunter that one un-
precedcntedly dry year when the marsh
water- disappeared leaving only a white
coating of salty deposit on the bottom,
the geese and ducks . came In greater
numbers than -ever known.,!. They cov

to. believe that It was' gone. In their
confusion thousands, of them got salt
on their : tails, and . the .ranchers took
sticks and killed 400 wagon loads before
the fowls finally took wing,
This being a true Story of Silver lake.
Hunter was compelled to tell of a man
named .Skagjray Jack; -who was, known
as the best ' elephant, hunter in northern
Minnesota. 'The surest way v to get
one," he said, "was to first locate thn
next, which was usually In the top of
a xinnla tree. - Here the elephant and its
young slumber during the headed period
of the day, and at dusk they venture out

ElepMnts Descend Tree.
"Soon wa heat a rustling among the
branches, and the elephants begin slow
ly to descend . the tree, thinking their
neighbors have alrealy started for the
bath. You see,- we now have 'the eJe

tant mountain -waters that sank Into

,"' Mo on tains Break Flalns. .
The wide, elevated plains. are broken
only by bccaslonal detached mountains:
or ranges, of - bills, . and ,: by- - the .high
scarpsusualiy, found, along one ;or both
sides , of the -scattered lakes. None of
the lakes are-' known to exceed ' 25 feet
depth, ; and some .. of .. the smaller lakes
are nearly dry In late summer. Christ
mas lake And . Fossil lake are' but two
or three feet deep. ' Silver- lake, after
the long dry seasons of 1887-88, dried
up so that Its bed was taken, for farm
ing and on season's crops , were gath
ered before the lake -again filled.,
Owing to Its comparatively recent re
filling. Silver lake Is lens alkaline-than
the others, but most of the lakes of
Lake county : have water sufficiently
fresh to ' supply stock. Abert lake Is
the most' alkaline, having a percentage
of 3.8 salts, showing the water to bo
more impregnated than ocean water,
which has 8.5 per cent mineral salts.
The percentage, of sulphate In -the
lakes, however, is very low, which is
their chief merit. The alkaline in these
lakes Is mostly sal soda and baking
soda.
Pralts and' Vegetables.
These- miles of prairie and valley
lands will produce fruits and vege
tables. It was from the northern Lake
county regions that the amazing exhib
its of peaches, grapes, nectarines.
prunes, plums, potatoes, carrots, beets
and grain were brought to astound the
multitudes attending the Lakevlew
auditorium fair In September, this year.
These products were pearly all grown
without Irrigation. The little town of
Paisley trading post for the , Summer
lake-region, through which we passed,
is populated by 300 to COO people, but
they are as proud of their achieve
ments at the Lakevlew fair as it is pos
sible for the foremost apple grower in
Hood or Rogue river to be "over his
achievements. At Silver bike but little
more than 100 people reside, but they
are progressive -and are "producing the
goods," to prove that the lands in that
region will, with development, astonish
the-outside world.

received by General Manager Chester

by Bert Latham, the driver of the EMF
