LAKE'S POSSIBILITIES. A Description of Lake County, It's Future, Resources, etc. In nrowppto tho hundreds of letters, received nt till otlico from people nil ajvor the I'nlted .states concerning Lake county, we have decided to; jrive the following; facts. They come a near answering the question as nny Information we could give. The principal town of the county, we will briefly mention a ht'liin, Lnkeview, the county seat, New IMue Creek, at the Oregon and Cali fornia Mate line. Paisley in the Cho wiiK'nn valley on the Chowuuean river, Silver Lake, in the northern part of the county, I'lush, in North Marner and Adol in South H'arner. There are i.130.240 acres of land, classified as follows: Agricul tural and alfalfa land, l,12!,ti47neres; timlicr land. 1,121.".V! acres and graz ing land. 2,s(i.240 aero. of this TOtUOO acres is unsurvcyed, 1.S01..") micros in reserve, l.ti4i!,2!K acres sur veyed and open to entry and locat ion, and ii21,4.""T aciis entered, show ing; it to he a una!! empire in area. of ; vhich there has bun only a small! valleys until the snow I off of the hill. Within the county I a, plateau, roughly estimated embracing two thousand five hundred square miles la area, which I called the "iVsort," this Is a misnomer, It Is simply a level plain covered with sagebrush and native grns. but not a river or ! stream of nny kind running- through I . I. ..I.. t 1 . . .....I ....

As for dry, barren sand wanton, they are few and small la area, and generally shak ing, the soil I a rich, alluvial earth, which produce excellent pasturage, making, in fact the stockgrower winter paradise, liecaiuo less snow fail then1 and stock winter liottor than they do In the valleys. Yet we do not advise the homesoeker to go then yet It i to far out, the Isola tion would be too great. Neverthe less, we realize that the time I not far distant when this same semi-arid locality will Ih made to blossom as the rose, for it affords the most mag niticient fields on this side the moun tains for innumerable colonization schemes if properly equipped. "1 hire is yet some good vacant titu- shops, two wagon simps, one barber shop, two vegetable and fruit stands, one furniture store, and four general merchandise stores that carry from 1000.00 to f tlO.OdO.OO of n stock the year round. The U. S. Land Olllce I located here. Five year since, the business portion of the town was In ashes; now the same district I nil built In brick stores, valued nt from f."i000.00 to 1:10,000.00 per building. Our school facilities we are proud of, especially In Iwikevtcw, we have a graded school that employe six teachers, and ha an attendance of 1100 pupil nine months In the year. During the winter considerable snow falls, In the mountain from 2 to tl feet deep, but In the valley froth 2 to 12 Indie deep. Hut It does not a a general thing lay but n lit some few favored localities, where the soli Is warm, and more protected by ts'lng In sheltered nooks, there I somo raised for market, but a a geirnl thing. It I not a success, be. cause of our cool night. I 'nt II recently our tanners did not reallzr that these sagebrush lands would raise alfalfa without Irriga tion, and Just now It seem to Ih the ambition of all our farmer to put In all the alfalfa they can. Heretofore, all land that showed alkali on the surface, wa shunned by the farmer a plague spots-llt for nothing. Hut experience has proven that such laud are not only well adapted to the growing of sugar hoots, tint that continuous crop of boot grown will absorb and render nuiratorv or riitluT it I i4i irli ii ml illuutiifit., t li. nl.l kali In the soli more effectually than 1 i ii- THE .y ; turn . rV0 short time In the valley.; some win-1 running water on any eomposlt yet ter slelgl; are not to U seen In the , known will.

Jlutter is 20 ets. and not mountainous in the full sense of the word; in short, its name "Lake CoviEty," expresses fully what it ia. Its many lakes, rivers ami creeks, ab o uuil I n li s h ; and these same lakes, rivers and creeks nearly all have valleys and bottom lauds ordering them, the soil of which is '"'ir, euost cases a rich alluvial loum, and is very productive. This class of land docs not require irrigation, liordering on these valleys, is an up land or rolling sage-brush country, which is in many instances quite level or miles, and is reputed to be our most productive soil when so situated tliut it can bo irrigated. Much of this class of land is yet un claimed, and can be procured at government price, or else taken up under the Desert Land Act. School Jaud, there Is none vacant that is rvally desirable. As to what is . rlwimwl todav real desirable farm land, especially near the town, being vacant, there is none. Hut, un (lm.mvivt.'d farm lands can be bought from 3 to $12 per acre, while the im- provedwlll cost from $7 to $100 per o.ktt I III, if I IVJI. acre, me quum,y oi iv i, ...... aueuts, nearness to town, timber and water advantages govern the price. Outlying these lauds Is the hill, (or as the Eastern people express It) uiountalnouscountry.on which snow falls from one to three feet during the winter, and when dissipated by -the warm weather.nffords the natural Irrigation for the lower lands which 25 cts. per pound the year round. Notwithstanding the productive ness of the soil, the favorable clim atic conditions, and the large acre ageourfarmerscotild utilize, weknow to a certainty that these prices will obtain until the next season's crop comes in. Vet with these prices in evidence, our fanners and gardeners tell us it does not pay to farm too far from market or too far from rail road, etc. Thank fortune that plea will soon be ended, for three rail-ways are tren ding tills way and we can pretty positively assert that we will have a rail-road from the south In less than two years. Lakeview, the county seat has a population of SOO. It has an electric light, and water system, and is without doubt the livest and best business town of its size in the slate. It has two banks; the Dank of Lake view, and the First National Dank, with Deposits above $530,000, ami a Capital Stock ami Surplus fully paid of $220,000, making their total assetts about of a million dollars.
