In nrswerto thehundrvds of lot tor
received nt this of lice from pooplo nil
over the lnited State concerning
Lake county, we have decided to
give the following fact. They route
as near answering the questions as
any Information we could give.
The principal town of the county.
" we will briefly mention ns item?,
Lakeview, the county ent, Now
rine Creek, at the Orcgou and Cali
fornia state Hue, Paisley in the Che
waucan valley on the Chewaucati
river, Silver Lake, In the northern
part of the county, Plush, in North
H'nrnerand Ailel In South 11'nrner.
There are 5.130,240 aero of
land, classified a follows: Agricul
tural and alfalfa land, 1.129,Gt7acrw;
timber land, 1,124.&3 acre and grill
ing land, 2.S7G.240 acres, of this
700,000 acre is nnsurveyed, 1,S01,.Vm)
acres In reserve, 1,646,21)3 acres sur
veyed and open to entry and locat
ion, and 921,4.17 acres entered, show
ing it to be a small empire in area. of
which there has been only a small
fraction over IS er cent of it taken
op.
Its altitude varies from 3500 to500
feet. The valley lands of Lake Couu
ty are unsurpassed in fertility and
productiveness, 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
bead of horses and mules. Its in
come for live stock, for this year a
loDe, has been more than $300.00 per
capita. Her merchants import
goods annually from San Franscisco
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

It, nevertheless, herder and va
quoros will tell you that there are
more water hole to be found on It
than people rcalixc, and that many
of them have dug for and found
water in many place from four to
six f-vt below the surface. A for dry,
barren samlwaste. they are few and
small In area, and generally speak
ing, the soil I a rich, alluvial earth,
which produces excellent pasturage,
making, iu fact the stockgrowers
but we doubt It.
Corn I grown hero, nml nearly
every farmer and small gardener
raise enough for roast lug-car, and
In some few favored locnlltlc, where
the soil I warm, and more protected
by Itolng In sheltered nook, then" I
some raised for market, but nun
inonhandlse store thnt carry from : general thing. It I not a success, be-
$7iKX).00 to tliO.tXU.OO of a stock the
year round.
The U. S. Land Otllco Is located
here. Five years since, the business
portion of the town wa In ashe;
now the same district I all built In
brick Mores, valued at from .VHN00
to f 30,000.00 er building. Our school
facilities we are proud of, eHclnlly
In Lakovlow, we have a graded
school that employes six teacher,
winter paradise, became less snow I ud has nu attendance of 300 pupils
fourth of its cash value, and upon
falls there and stock winters better
than they do In the valleys. Yet we
do not advise the homowooker to go
there yet it Is to far out, the isola
tion would lie too great. Neverthe
less, we realize that the time is not
far distant when this same semi-arid
locality will le made to blossom ns
the rose, for It affords the most mag
uiticlent fields on this side the moun
tains for innumerable colonization
schemes if properly equipped. I will
say in connection with this subject I
J will be glad to correspond with col
ony promoters, and flatter myself I
enn givt them much desirable Infor
mation on the feasibility of develop
ing the possibilities reform! to In
this line, and I will le glad of an op
portunity to co-operate with them.
There Is yet some good vacant tlm
ler 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 point Is Mad
eline, the terminus of the Nevada-
Cnlifornia-Oregon Railway, ninety
five miles distant, consequently when
our farmers or other producers have
a surplus, the home dtiuand Is 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 o
fai
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
set 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, 1005, the County was
out of debt, and had a surplus of ?19,
507.90 in the treasury.
The assessment roll for 1905 will
fdiow the lowest tax levy In compari
son to the ussessed value of any
county in the state of Oregon.
.Lake county is pre-eminently a
stock raising county, stock raising
wool growing being theprincipal In
dustries, and has yielded the great
est gain, with less labor than any
other industry, tjenerally speaknig
this is a broken, hilly country, yet
not mountainous in the full sense of
the word; iu short, its name "Lake
County," express fully w hat it is.
Jts many lake?, rivers and creeks,
abound in fish; and these
Mime lakes, rivers and creeks nearly
all hare valleys and bottom lands
bordering them, the soil of which is
in most cases a rich alluvial loam,
and is very productive. This class
f laud does not require irrigation.
Bordering on these valleys, is an up
land or rolling sage-brush country,
which Is Iu many instances quite
level or miles, ami 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
under the Desert Land Act. School
land, there Is none vacant that Is
Teally desirable. As to what is
deemed today real desirable farm
land, especially near the town, being
Vacant, there is none. But, un-
Huiproved farm lands can be bought
Trom $3 to $12 per acre, while the Im
proved will cost from $7 to f 100 per
acre, the quality of soil, Improve
ments, nearness to town, timber and
water advantages govern the price.
Outlying these lands is the hill, (or
as the Eastern people express it)
mountaiuouscountry.on which snow
falls from one to three feet during
the winter, and when dissipated by
the warm weather.affords the natural
irrigation for the lower lands which
afford splendid pasturage for the
vast herds of stock that feed in the
valleys until the snow is oft of the
hills.

Even now we are paying 2 cts. per

rye, $2.00 per 100 pounds for flour, 1
ct. per pound for bran, fier ton for
hay, from ?4 to $5 per cord for wood.
Poultry does well here, yet we pay
from 15 cts. to 50 cts. jer dozen for
eggs, (jrown chickens sell for $3 to
0 per dozen, and broilers from f 'i to
3.90 per dozen. Butter is 20 cts. and
25 cts. per pound the year round.
Notwithstanding the productive
ness of the soil, the favorable clim
atic conditions, and the large aere
ageourfarmerscould utilize, weknow
to a certainty that these prices will
obtain until the next seasons 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 froia 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. Lakeview, the
county seat has a population of 800.
It has an electric light, and water
system, and is without doubt the
llvest and best business town of its
size in the state.
It has two banks; the Bank of Lake
view, and the First National Bank,
with Deposits above $530,000, and a
Capital Stock and Surplus fully paid
of $220,000, making their total assetts
about of a million dollars. One

Ladles Outfitting store, two church

1 nt II recently our fanners did not
realize that these sagebrush land
would raise alfalfa without Irriga
tion, and just now it seems to la the
ambition of nil our farmers to put In
all the alfalfa they can. Heretofore,
all land that allowed alknll on the
surface, wa shunned by the farmer
a plague spots fit for nothing.
Out experience has proven that such
land ant not only well adapted to
the growing of sugar boots, but that

delegate some representative man of
your community to investigate for
you; a dozen or more of you could
do this at a small expense to the Individual.
The most unfavorable feature that
presents itself to the eye of tlw
stranger is the denuded appearance
of the pasture lands, tor nowhere on
earth have we ever known of ranges
so excessively and destructively pas
tured as these have been, that will
rehabilitate themselves in tbelr man
tle of green so quickly as these do, it
protected for one or two seasons, this
alone is proof of an equable climate
and productive soil. The fact is we
hardly know the meaning of the
word drough, or failure of crops,
neither have we known any country
where the "early to bed and late to
rise" class of farmer has reaped so
abundant a reward for his grudg
ingly expended labor.
After all la said that Is commend
able of this locality there Is only one
argument that can be advanced that
