The reclaimed land on Tude lake
In K.'amath county which was thrown
open to homestead entry a few days
ago, did not appeal to a quartet of
former nervie men from Independ
ence men who visited the land last
week and they returned home without
filing.
The land in question is on the shore
of Tuile lake, has been cropped for a
season or more, and its good soil. The
parcels range in size from a few acres
to a maximum of 80 acres, the aver
age being around 60. There is an
irrigation charge of $90 an acre
against the land and the usual home
stead requirements. The local boys
could not figure out how the venture
could prove a financial success in
view of the fact that they found that
they could buy irrigated land in the
same district with water r?ghts paid
for around $75 an acre.
The drawing was far from success
ful. Of the 180 parcels in the area,
only 4G were filed upon with only six
duplications. Twenty of the 46 were
Klamath county ex-service men.
Those going from here were: Dr.
C. C. Wright, O:intoif Baun, Bliss
Byers and Frank Kennedy. They
drove in Dr. Wright's car, going by
the way of Ashland and over the
Green Springs mountains to Klamath
Falls. Retaining they came by the
way of Bend and over the McKenzle
pass. They state' that they enjoyed
the trip, which was without dis
agreeable incidents, but all are of the
opinion that the val'.ey suits them a
whole lot better than the Klamath
country.
FAVORABLE VOTE MEANS
DEVELOPMENT OF STATE
Portlard "If the people of Ore
gon are in earnest in their desire for
some general move for state develop
ment, the 1927 exposition measures
will be carried by overwhelming
majorities November 7, because this
is our one hope for the immediate.
future."
This is the declaration of Mayor
Georsre L. Baker of Portland, head
of the gdr.eral committee in charge of
the exDosition campaign. On the eve
of the general election the committee
expresses confidence that the people
of the state will return a good ma
jority for the measure that will per
mit Portland to tax itself for the
Dromotion of the exposition aind that
the city of Portland itself will cast
a big vote in favor of the special levy
for this purpose.
Reflecting this confidence in the
favorable outcome of the election,
plans have been formulated for a
peroral 10 year development program
of all of Oregon, with the exposition
as the central figure. This is to in
clude the beginning immediately of a
campaign of publicity, in wheh the
attractions of Oregon for the tourist
its opportunities for the farmer, the
stock ranging, the fruit-grower and
the artisan, and its vast resources
awaiting development, will be ex
ploited in all parts of the United
States.
There has been some newspaper
opposition! to the state permitting
Portland to tax itself for such a pro
gram," says Mayor Baker, "but oil
the whole it appears to me that the
people of the state realize the im
portance of this move and will do
their part by granting Portland per
mission to hold the exposition if the
Portland people want to and are
willing to pay the bill. In Portland
the situation looks very favorable for
a big majority in favor of the ex
position tax measure."
APPLE VARIETIES MANY;
NOT ALL WELL KNOWN
Apple varieties need to be carefully
thought out before winter and spring
planting, reports the experiment
statiotrl at O. A. C.
The common varieties of apples are
well known to most persons but there
are several fine eastern sorts that
wou d make a desirable addition to
the table if grown for home use.
Desirable early varieties include
the Early Harvest, Sweet Bough,
Golden Sweet, Yellow Transparent,
and the Gravenstein. Fall and early
winter appjtes such as the Melon,
Mother, Twenty-ounce Pippin, Fall
Pippiiri, Pumpkin Sweet,- Mcintosh,
Bailey Sweet, Wealthy and Seek-No-Futher
are good varieties to pfant.
For late varieties the Gilliflower
(Sheep Nose), Dutch Mignon, Golden
Russet, Roxbury Russett, Lady Apple,
Northern Spy, Tollman Sweet and the
Swaar are very desirable.
Sweet Apples, occupy an important
place in this list. It is peculiar that
so few varieties of sweet apples are
at present grown in the northwest.
