doesn't take much perception to
realize that there Is & lot or money

the cattle business has done well by
those who stuck to It.
Somo Silver Lakeltes were disposed
to reel that Uend was not over

down to tacks it becamo evident that
the "knocking" Uiey alleged had
come from Bend was confined pretty'
well to curbstoners, for those who
complained most finally were unable
to mention a single responsible per

this respect.
And the way Silver Lake people
really feel about nend. If they bavo
the hand of goodfellowshlp held out
to them and get a fair shake. Is prot
ty well Indicated, by the following
editorial from The Leader, which
nnnifared after our visit:
"When such man as C. S. Hudson,

It would be difficult to say; the fact

A rarely r'cb strip of country
bounds Summer Lake on the west,
between the water and the rugged
hills that shelter It. Here wo saw
cores of prosperous farms, long es
tablished, with large houses and
barns, flno fences and well cultivated
fields. In many cases little streams
meander through the farms from the
hills behind, and often their water
power fs used to supply electricity
to tho ranches.
There are a groat number of or

and all yielding remarkably well,
judging from reports. Apple and j
peach trees were In bloom, and the,
road side waa lined with wild plums :

flowers lined the fences. Altogether,
