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.
