BEES AND HONEY Agriculturalists who are past masters in their vocation, we have every reas on to believe would make a gruud success in this line for the few scatter ing hives we hove Been, and tbe qual ity of honey put on tbe market, com bined with the bee pasturage these valleys and hills afford, with tbe largely Increasing orohards, aira'ra fields etc., must certainly make better conditions every coming year. It may be urged that our mild and vnriHhla winter weatber would make the bees as great consumers as pro ducers but the few bee owners we bave Interviewed state that duriug tbe winter months the bees are so neiriy in a ulnte of hibernation that tbe winter stores are rarely, if ever de pleted.

TAXES For the pout pose of assessment, all property is listed and assessed by tbe Bssesior, at about oue fourth of its cash value, aud upon this assessed valuation, the tax rate for all pur poses is 13 in II Is. The assessment roll for 1108 will ebow the lowest tax levy in compari son to the assessed value of auy oouuty in the state of Oregou. At this date, the oouuty is out of debt, and has a surplus of $25,000. SCHOOLS The great interest shown by our people in Public riohouls u manifest by the fact that a sum equal to about 13 lollara per capita, is set aside each year by the couuty for school pur poses, for every pupil lu the couuty between tbe age of four and twenty years. UAME: Occasionally a bear, oougar or pan ther is found in tbe mountains, while iu tbe foot bills aud valleys, deer, antelope, bob eats, coyotes and jack rabbits are quite plentiful.

FROST AftT all is said that is commend able of this locality there is only one argument that cxn be advanced that wil in any way disparage what we bave said in relation to the condi tion to be met with here; that is our late frosts. Yet these, old settlers tell us, are seemingly growing less blight ing as the country settles up. This, iu fact, appears to be a peculiarity experienced in almost all newly settled localities aud is attributed by many to tbe clearing off and plowing tbe ground, combined with tbe freed alluvial gases that commingle with and modify tbe electrical conditions that. obtained at earlier periods. Be this as it may. we no not assume te reason on these linns we ouly know the climate is growing less rigorous snd it is onlc once in a great while that frosts beriously injure our ft nit crops. OREGON VALLEY LAND COnPANY To the many inquiries received re specting tbe Oregon Valley Iand Co. we will answer by stating tbat tbeir holdings embrace nearly every var iety and quality of land in this county: what proportion of it is first second or third cImss we are not pre pared to state, for we do not know, Their water supply is in excess of their actual wauts. as proven by the fact that the run off Drews creek dur ing the first tbree weeks in tbe mouth of January, 1009 was over 60,000 acre feet of water. T.ie two reservoirs will afford ample water to irrigate practi cally all tbe land in Goose Lake val ley. Tbe company now has a large force of Engineers In tbe Held running reservoir, canal and segregating lines on which men are now at work and are "'making a very creditable showing to do as they bave agreed to. As to their title, none is better. HOW TO GET HERE From points.

BRIEF 5UHMARY Notwithstanding tbe altitude of the oouuty which is from 3500 to 5)00 feet above sea level, almost every in dustry aud ocoupatiou may be pur sued here the vear round iu tbs va rious localities, without auy on pleas ant climatic experiences, and what we say respecting the valloye as to soil, the fruit aud grain grown, and tbe feasible irrigatiou sobemes contem plated, railroad projects, will in a general way apply to all of tbeui, although vegetation starts earlier iu some localities than in others. January, February and March our wiuter months. Despite altitude, our winters are mild, deepest Snow in tbe valleys lay are tbe tbe but a few days, aud in soma of these val leys it does uot lay oue day. We have uo excessive cold weather, and our summers are ideal no excessive warm weather, for tbe mild yet cool ozone ladened breezes that fan these mount ain lands, rob us of tbe coucioueuess of the real temperature when it is really warm, aud also make us im mune from asthma aud many other ills experienced iu lower altitudes. We have uo chills aud fevers, uo terrifying tbuuder aud llgbtuing storms, dust storms, no cyclones, uo devastating floods, uo failures of crops, uo tieas beuce uotbiug to scratch fur but a living. But we do bave a remarkably pio duct've soli, tbat produces bouuteous ly WITHOUT irrigatiou, wheat, oats, rye, barley aud alfalfa, fruits, berries aud vegetables, at tbs Same time we do kuuw, that our best paying oroh ards ami gartieua are the iirigated one. Ws bava cheap lauds, wa grow splendid crops of all kinds, wi'.h less labor than auy where els, and no where on earth Is tbs "early to bed aud late to rife," farmer soriohly reward ed for bis grudgingly expended labor bers wa bave seeu as tuauy as four Jcrops harvested fiom one seed lug. Every valley bas its own peculiar advantage4 in some, snow is rarelv ren on tbe ground, and grapes ste grown and ripen, wbile in all of them, I empties creeks that are veritab'ej mountain torrents six months out of tbe twelve, affording all tbe irrigable water that will ever be required wben stored and redistributed.. Today we bave a population of 3500 In tbe county and wben the prospec tive railroads are built aud traospor tatinn assured, our forests will be alive itb lumber and mill men, and possi bly our mines developed, and our wonder ol dairying. agricultural, horticultural, stock raising, wool pro ducing and other utiitiea become dev e'opei, then the wild mad scramble will he on to secure the now cheap lands. Tbose that are now offered for ten to twenty dollars per acre will not go beeging for takers at one or two hundred dollars per acre. it is not necessary to be a "pro phet or a son of a prophet" to read tbe future we need but judge the futme by tbe prist, that all old "Paci fic Coasters" have experienced and. listen) liteu as though we listen to a Delphic Oracle, wben we are told that inside of ten years Lakeview will bave a populatlou of M0,000 and every otner valley and town in tbe country will build up porportioaally and swell our insigniflcent Ao0 or to day to 50,000 or more for tbe county. In the preceding we bave attempted to give you facts, aud have made no attempt to embellish or paint in rose ate hues any feature of the country that the Real Estate dealer ordinarily capitalize?, although wn honestly believe we would be justified in doing it, but we do not wish to be called boomers or enthusiasts and will simply say, come and see for yourself, and if you bave any misgivings tbat we bave overdrawn oue fact, and do not feel justified in making tbe individual venture, delegate some representative man of your community to invest! gate for you a dozen or more of you could do tnis at a small expense to tbe individual.

OLIVER Smiles and Squalls By "THK VF.KItAKT OSB" A writer iu the Reno .Touruol, sign ing himself "Poor Man" rejoices in the theft "f a cargo of bacon from one of tbe packing bouses io Reno. In forcing the price of bacon op to 28 cents a pound, be says tbe meat deal ers have been burglarizing the people and that "turn about is fair play." He also thinks tbe potato ware douses should be burglarized next, and is evidently a bei'ever in fair play tbo he goes lo jail for it. The law calls a man with more than on wife a bigamist but men call bim an Idiot, says tbe ben-pecked editor of tbe Portlad Journal.
