It In not a success, bo In nnsworto thehundnds of letters received at this t.ftiee from people all over the I'nlted State concerning Lake county, ve have decided to give the following facta. They come as near answering the questions a any Information we could give. The principal town of the county, we will briefly mention an being. Lakeview, the county sent, New Tine Creek, at the Oregon and Cali fornia state line, Tninley In the Che-1 wnucnn valley on the Chewauean liver, Silver Lake, In the northern part of the county. Plush, In North ll'arner and Adel In South U'arner. There are 5,130,2-10 acres of land, classified a follows: Agricul tural and alfalfa land, 1.12!),647acres; timber laud, 1.121.3.V) acres and graz ing land, 2.S7G.240 acres, of this 700,000 acres Is unsurveyed, l.SOl,.") ecres In reserves, l,64(l,2!Kt acres sur veyed and open to entry and locat ion, and 921,457 acres entered, show ing it to be a email empire in area, of which there baa Ihhh only a small fraction over 18 per cent of It taken up. Its altitude varies from 3500 toiWW feet. The valley lands of lake Coun ty are unsurpassed in fertility and productivness, and grow large crops of wheat, oats, barley, rye, alfalfa and meadow grasses, while apples, peaches, pears, cherries, plums, apri cots and the small fruits are pro duced in great abundance. There Is at the present time about "300,000 sheep, 77,000 cattle and 30,000 head of horses and mules. Its in come for live stock, for this year a Joce, has been more than $300.00 per capita. Her merchants import goods annually from San Franseisco amounting to more than 5,000,000 pounds and her export of wool, a lone is about 2,500,000 pounds. Taxes: For the purpose of assess ment, all property is listed and as sessed by the assessor, at about oue fourth of Its cash value, ''aVl upon this assessed valuation, the tax rate for all purposes is sixteen mills. The great interest shown bv onr people in Public Schools, is manifest by the fact that a sum equal to about twelve dollars per capita, is et aside each year by the County for School purposes, for every pupil in the County between the ages of four and twenty years. October 1, 1905, the County was out of debt, and had a surplus of $19, 567.90 in the treasury. The assessment roll for 1905 will ehow the lowest tax levy inconipari Bou to the assessed value of any count j- in the state of Oregon. iLake county Is pre-eminently a 'stock raising county. Stock raising wool growing being theprfncipal in dustries, and has yielded the great est gain, with less labor than any queros will tell you that there are more water holes to be found on It than people renllxe. and that many of them have dug for and found water in ninny places from four to six foetlielow thesnrface. As for dry, barren sandwnstes, they are few and small In area, and generally sjeak. ing. the soil Is a rich, alluvial earth, which produces excellent pasturage, 17000.00 to 100,000.00 of a stock the year round. The IT. S. Iand Otllco Is located here. Five years since, the business portion of the town was In ashes now the same district Is nil built In brick stores, valued at from f.VttiO.OO to f30.000.00 ier building. Our school facilities wo are proud of, cs.eclnlly In Uikevlew, we have a graded making, in fact the sttckgrowers scnooi mat employes six readier winter paradise. Isxame less snow I nd has an attendance of 300 pupils falls there and stock winters lietter than they do In the valleys. Yet we do not advise the homeseeker to go there yet It Is to far out, the Isola tion would le too great. Neverthe less, we realize that the time Is not far distant when this same semi-arid locality will Is made to blossom as the rose, for It affords the most mng n trident fields on this side the moun tains for innumerable colonization schemes if properly equipped. I will say in connection with this subject I will lie glad to correspond with col ony promoters, and flatter myself 1 enn give them much desirable Infor mation on the feasibility of develop ing the possibilities referred to In this line, aud I will le glad of an op portunity to co-operate with them. There Is yet some good vacnut tim ber lands which is being rapidly taken up There is also, some less desirable scattering tracts that may not be taken up for years. Our nearest shipping poiut is Mad eline, the terminus of the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway, ninety five miles distant, consequently when our farmers or other producers have a surplus, the home dtmand ts the only market, as it does not pay to haul ninety five miles bv wagon trains at from ct. to 1 ct. per pound, hence it Is that our farmers do not attempt any great out-put, and the industry is neglected to that extent, that we sometimes pay ex orbitant prices for many farm pro- bluets, as instanced this spring when wheat eold readily for 2 cts. per pound, cracked barley 1 cts. per pound and potatoes 4 cts. per pound. Even now we are paying 2 cts. per pound for apples, and the past sea son we paid 6 cts. per pound for peaches, 3 cts. for cherries, 3 cts. for pears, 2 cts. for prunes, 2 cts. for plum s, 20 cts. per gallon for currents, GO cts. per gallon for straw lierries, 50 cts. r,er gallon for raspberries, 1) cts. per pound for crab apples. 3 cts. per pound for peas, 2 cts. per pound for carrots, 1,'2' cts. per pound for beets, 4 cts. per pound for onions, 3 cts. per pound for tomatoes, 15 cts. per dozen for roasting ears, 15 cts. per dozen for cucumbers, from 10 cts, to 50 cts. each for mellons. 2 cts. per pound for potatoes, 2 cts. per pound for squash, 3 cts. per pound for cabbage, 1 cts. per pound for wheat, ?1.35 per 100 nine mouths In the year. During the winter considerable snow falls, In the mountains from 2 to (1 feet deep, but In the valleys from 2 to 12 Inches deep. Hut It docs not as a general thing lay but a short time In the valleys; some win ters sleighs are not to le soon In the streets. Our altitude Is 425feet by official survey. The average rain fall Is from ten to fifteen Inches. The maximum temperature Is about 59 fr. and the mean about 33.

I'ntll recently our farmers did not realize that these sagebrush lands would raise alfalfa without Irriga tion, and just now It seems to lie the ambition of all our farmers to put In all the alfalfa they can. Heretofore, all land that showed alkali on the surface, was shunned by the farmer as plague spots fit for nothing. But experience has proven that such lands are not only well adapted to the growing of sugar Invts, but that continuous crops of Isn't grown will absorb and render minatory or lornTnm. .. ....... flfin..ra,? rvflH T- racHiNE Oi rilKI.

Bordering on these valleys, Is an up f.naM or rolling sage-brush country, wbk'h Is lu many instances quite JieveJ or miles, and Is reputed to be our most productive soil when so situated that It can be Irrigated. .Much of this class of land is yet un claimed, and can be procured at government price, or else taken up uuder the Desert Land Act. School land, there Is none vacant that Is really desirable. As to what Is deemed today real desirable farm iaiiO, especially near the town, being Vacant, there is none. But, un improved farm lands can be bought from $3 to $12 per ace, while the Im proved will cost from 7 to $100 ier Ware, the quality of soil, Improve ments, nearness to town, timber and water advantages govern the price.

Notwithstanding the productive ness of the soil, the favorable clim atic conditions, and the large acre age our farmers could utilize, we know to a certainty that these prices will obtain until the next season's crop comes in. Yet with these prices In evidence, our farmers 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 this way and we can pretty positively assert that we will have a rail-road from the south In less than two years.
