Mr. Ureen and party who are here looking for reservoir sites for the liovernment, informs the Alturas 1'laindealer that the greatest draw back to be encountered Is a lack of data of rain and snow fall in Modoc ct unity. This Is very e'ntiil in making out his report to the de partment headquarter. To build reservoirs the (Jovernment must know that there will Is water to fill them, for without water, re straining dams would be useless and a waste of money. Of course ieople living here know that the precipita tion of moisture is amply sufficient to till any reservoirs that may be constructed, but we have uo means tif proving the fact to the Govern ment. Another thing that milltatta against us at this tlne is the light v fall of snow on the Warner range of tnouutains. We have lived In Modoc, twenty year, says the Flalndealer and during that time have never witnessed so little snow in the moun tains at this time of the year. Most of the precipitation has been in the form of rain and this has' all been absorbed by the dry ground, very little having passed off in t lie streams. Mr. (ireen will only remain a short time, but we understand a couple of his assistants will remain until spring. By that time we feel sure that it will lie demonstrated that the precipitation will lie ample tor all purposes. There is no lack of records of the rain and snowfall In Lake County. For the past tweuty years the U. S. Department of Agriculture has had a weather bureau station lu Lake view, which has been conducted by The Examiner. The records were burned In l'.HK), but are 011 tile iu Portland and Washington. Sluce that time the records are ou file in this otllce. Come up to Lake county gentlemen and you can flud half a dozen reservoir sites within 15 miles of Lakevlew. In the prize tight last week nt San Francisco between llaulon, of Cali fornia, and "Young Corbett" of Den ver, tho decision was given to Cor liett in the 17th round. Hanlon's friends yelled repeatedly to the ref eree to Btop the tjght, as Hanlon re fused to lie knocked out despite his punishment nnd Oraiuey finally compiled, llaulon had to be carried from the ring.
