The Christmas Lake Settlement. J. L. Cliff arrived in Lakeview last week from'Silver Lake and remained here until Tuesday of this week, L A I 1 1 . . ......... . I . 7 . ... . . i - . I XI in the land onuce ai mis piace. wi( Cliff is locating horoeseekers on the low desert of the Northern part of rako county. He has located in the neighborhood of 150 peopla on borne stead;i In that section of the country. and has beeu instrumental in tbe es tablishment of the postofflces of Lake aud Cliff. He predicts a large immi irr.-ttioii to his new settlement next year. Many of the newcomers are go iug ahead making valuable improve meats on their lauds aud within tdiort time that portion of the county formerly known as "the desert" will blossom as the rose. The lauds of that section have no more of tho character . . . 1 A istic of desert than day resemoie nii-ht Tho vallov is from 10 to miles wide aud 30 or 40 miles long; is low and comparatively level, grow ing heavy eagebiushaud an abuudanca of wild grasses natural to semi-arid soil. Tho soil is a very rich, sandy loam, aud water is found in abundance from 8 to 20 feet below the surface. The climate is ideul and whatever of vegitation that has been tried there is thrifty. While a desirable amount of running- water for irrigation purposes cannot be had, without expensive canals from the Deschutes river or other streams distant from there, it is believed that with the application of tho Campbell system of dryland farm ing or somo other feasible method, abundant crops of cerials and grasses can be profitably grown there. Dry land farming has become a scientific art, and wheu applied properly by practical men excellent results are sure to follow where partial results follow the baphazzard methods used in this county at the present time. This statement does not originate from an over-drawn imagination, but is based nnnn Befoul facta, related by men of thought and experince, who have vis ited this country and did not hesitate to express their confidence in the fu ture of this county. What lies in store for tbe semi-arid lands of Lake couuty is far beyond the expectations of those who have witnessed the slow progress under methods applied in the past aud at the present time, ao in tie attention Bus been given to prao tical and econoinlo methods of farm- iug in this county that results have been unsatisfactory from a revenue standpoint. This fact and the absence i tronanm-tution facilities are re sponsible for the light output of farms. Following are a few of tbe many bills up for tbe approval of tbe law makers at. Salem : A law making it a crime for any person to have printed any statement which conveys false impressions as w the values of any stocks or shares In any corporation. Tbe penalty to be imposed for violation thereof shall , do imprisonment for not more than . iu years or a tine of not more than f 10, 000, or both. A law providing for tbe trial in courts of.drnnkards, not for the pur pose of punishing the drunkard bat to establish the fact that such pereon is an habitual drunkard, and when such fact is established, proper noti ces shall be posted in specified places, and thereafter, until such person has been deemed to have reformed, any person selling such drunkard liquor shall, be deemed guilty of a misdemean or and shall be punished by severe penaltiv- Comi: tesion men will be rounded.up, If a cemln law passes, and their man ner ofidolng business so regulated" as to p3Umsignors.. . . . ; ...- y i . '. I' A proposed law renders invalid, up on the marriage of a testator, the provisions of a will wbichwas executed prior to marriage. Representative Dye,' of Clackamas, would have the county liquor license doubled. This is the marn object of a bill be has introduced in tbe House. Besides increasing the annual license of these saloons from ?100 to 800, the bill also provides for a"n increase from $ 1000 to 1500 in the bond of the pro prietor of such resorts. At tbe pres ent time it is required tbat a petition, signed by a majority of tbe legal vo ters of a precinct in w hich Buch a sa loon is to be established, shall be filed u;k ihu eoimtv court before such a license cau te granted. Tbe new bill increases this representation to at least GO per cent of the legal voters of a precinct. A law providing for a state Examin er, to be elected, whose duty it shall be to examine tbe books of all state and county ofllcers at least once in each year. This bill is a very impor tant one, and provides a long felt want in both state and county. Tho first bill to pass the House is that of Jacksou of Douglas, providing that jurors in civil cases may be kept together and prevented from separ- tiiig, at the instance of either tne de fendant or plaintiff. A law providing for the building '-of couuty roads at the expense, equally distributed, of the property that ia benefited by the improvement, , the county and the state. The expendi ture on this account Is limited 10",-000. The law providing for the regulation of banks, other than National, by a state bank examiner is meeting' wila-.-, favor all over the state and is, likely; . to be passed. Attoruev-Geueral Crawford baa-pre' pared a bill providing for counties .f . settling their own county division, , questions by a vote of the , people of the county at a general election. The present legislature holds the. . record for the number of bills Intro duced, and also in apropriatlonfl. Up to date calls for M, GOO, 000. have , been j made, but much of this will probably be cut out. New Cold Discovery. Word was received here that P.
