LAKE COUNTY Lake county is in the centet of the great lake country of Central Oregon where are located some ot the moat remarkable bodies of water in tbe state. This county lies in tbe central southern portion of tbe state, about miaway betweeu tbe eastern and west ern boundaries. On the north it is bounded by Crook county, on tbe east by Harney county, on tbe south by the states of California and Xev a la, and on tbe west by Klamath county. Aa to area it' stands the fourth largest in tbe state, having something orei 8,000 square miles, and its annual ptecipitatioo stands third iu 2astern and Ceutral Oregon ouly Wasco and Hood River counties leading It by a small margin. Some Idea of tbe vast territory embraced itbin the borders of Lake couuty can be more easi-y understood when we cox pare its area to some of tbe states in tbe onion. It is larger than j Deleware, larger than New Jersey, larger than Connecticut, and about equal to in size to Massachusetts. Yet this vast area our populatinun is only about 4.0U0. Tbe county contains 5,0j:),.10O acres divided as follows: 1.9S0.04S acres of by tbe moutaius which bear the name of the valley, and is a veritable gem. This valley contains the choicest lauds i n Lake couuty, aud in time will be to all Central Oregon what Hood River is to the country tributary to it. Summer Lake Is an ideal fruit belt, tbe equal of which la haul to find anywhere and nowhere in Oregon can it te excelled. In this fertile little valley there are 20,0uu acres that re adapted to frnit culture. Here is a vast body of land that by uature was intended as a fro it belt as is shown by tbe wild plums growing on every band where tbe ground has as yet not been cultivated and whose quality and flavor can ouly be known and appreciatad by partaking of tbe luscious fruit. So prolific are the plums, that in niauy places as the traveler goes along me road be can sit ia his wagou and pluck the fruit at ripening time. Here in this val ley, apples, pears, dIuius, prunes, peaches, apricots and all other like fruits, as well as all kinds of berries grow in profusion an i Bbundance, aud not ouly tbe quanity but tbe quality cannot be excelled auy where. Tomatoes melons, aud all other vine as cvell as all kinds ot root crops to gether with oats, wheat and barley, i almouds, walnuts and filberts all J Uourisb aud yie;d abundantly. To give tbe reader au idea of tbe yielding capacity of this soil, agricultural land. l.l'J4.:io2 acres of grazing laud. 1, 5i 000 acres O' timber; of potatoes from wbicb land. 50,ooj acres of unsurveyed ; 00 tons of laud aud IIOT.'JCO acres covered by lakes, much of wbicb will in tine be drained aud make tbe veiy choicest of artMcultutal laud. FORT ROCK AND CHRIST MAS LAKE These two sections are almost i lentically the same, .ud Iu fact, there la uu difference between them ouly au imagiuary line, and just where that imaginary line is located would take some oue more fortunate than we have been or ever saw, to tell where that dividing Hue was, aud for the purpose of this article will treat tbe dtferot neighborhoods as a whole. This entire section is covered with a luxuriaut growth of sagebrush which up to a few years ago was con sidered only tit tor ranging stock, owing principally toQ the lack of water for domestic purposes, it being generally supposed to be impossible to get water by digging, liut some one two or three yeurs ago diepe-led that supposition by having be hardi hood to dig aud see what was beueath the surface, aud lo I water was struck uf the finest aud best qualit). Set tlers began to come in and In noi lusttuco Imvo they tailed to find water iu abnaduce everywhere from tit tu 40 feet, and now tbe name here tofore applied to this section "des ert" is a minsomer.

IiAIR THOMPSON Attorney at Law Oflicc: Over Rank of La view Lakeview, Oheoo.n ynos. j. powell Attorney at Law Office la Daly Rulldlng Lakeview, Oregon, of Lske county as a wbole, proceed with the portiou set out iu the first part of this article to more particularize aud which embraces more than half the territory ae well as more than half tbe taxable proper ty in the county, but probably not half the populatiou. Tbe town of Paisley is located in the beautiful Chewaucau valley, tne Chewaucan river, a stream that has 't s headwaters far up in tbe mount aiDB, flowing swiitly along tbe north side of the town. Tbe river furnishes an immeuse amount of water, and in fact is tbe principal river in tbe county, and which uudoubtedy in tbe near future will be harnessed and the wheels of mills and factoiies made to bum, turning out tbeir various products,. Its waters abound with tbe sportive trout and is au anlger's paradise. The Chewaucan valley wbicb lies Lrincipally to tbe east and south ot tbe town of Paisley, is com posed uf some of tbe finest and most productive land to be found any where, and will produce bay, grain, alfalfa, fruit, berriea, and vegetables tbe very best kinds. While we say that tbey raise fruit in tbe Chewau can valley, yet do Dot understud us to sav that it is a perfect fruit sec tion, for it is not, for while fruit is raised there that is of the very finest and tiest, yet there are years when there are total failures as !08 proved. Yet us a wbole, iu comparison with all of central Oregon it is far abeal In the fruit line. Wheat aud barley aie raised to some extent, yet bm a sectiou it is devoted to the stock iu duetry. iiarley has beeu raised that yielded over 70 bubbles to tbe acre and oats a similar amount. These y elds hre not however the average yields, but tbe larger ones. Tbe average yield of barley is from 30 to 40 bushels and wheat from 27 to '10 bushels tbe quality of each being tbe beet. Potatoes cabbage peas, turnips, canots, parsnips, aud such vegetables Hour sb aud grow to good size and yield abundantly, lieaus, pumpkins and tomatoes do fairly well, yet tbey are not as successfully grown as those first mentioned. The Chewaucan valley is oue of the very best of water. Summer Lake is indeed a favored spot, aud iu time the large bu'diugs now owued will be cut. up into small farms and be prac tically a solid vilagefrom oue eud of tbe lake to tbe other, inhabited by busbaudmen reaping neb rewards from the culture of fruit. SILVER LAKE Silver Lake is a beautiful valley, witn Silver creek flowing through it eutire length and emptying into tbe lake some six miles below town. Silver Lake is principally owued by stockmen wbo have large herds of cattle, horses and sheep and tbe land used to produce hay aud pasture for tbe winter needs. There Las however been some farming done on a limited scale throughout the valley wbicb baa yielded good returns, oats going in some instances as high as 05 to 70 bushels to tbe acre. This of course was exceptional instances, the average yield running iu the neighborhood of 40 bushels, but little wheat has yet beeu harvested although quite an acreage was sown last fall aud this spring which promises line but that which was. produced satisfactory returns to the producer. The oldor settlers settled aloutf the creek princi pally and it has only been iu tbe last few year that the prairie lands have neen settled up and attempts made to cultivate them und see what their productive capacity was. but in every instance where intelligent culture aud ordinary care wero ulven tbe crops tbe returns were perfectly satisfactory. We will cite the inst ance of a man who came here about two years ago, and last spring cleared about 40 acres of bis laud of sage brush, sowing a portion to alfalfa, a portion to rye, and the remainder (with tbe exception of perhaps an acre which was kept for garden) to bariey. Lawt season as every one will remember was a bad year for crops not ouy here, but every where, yet on this piece of laud we saw alfalfa iu August, that was sown lu May. tour teen inches in height all over tbe field looking as healthy and thrifty us we both our State Agricultural College aud the Government, and each have pronounced them of the richest aud highest productive qualilis. This entire section we fully believe, will in a few years be oue vast grain field, yielding its golden harvests and fill ing tbe pockets of the owners with a rich return for bis labors. Do not understand us to mean that every man wbo attempts to farm will make a success of it, although at one time it was the almost universal belief that any fool could farm aud so when a man made a failure of everything else be was advised to go on a farm. That day baa, however, passed and it is now conceded by every oue (except ing of course this old fogy class) that it t,Hkes intelligence aud brains to farm. In fact, it takes more intelli gence aud brains to become a suc cessful farmer than it lakes in many other lines of business Fort Rock and Christmas Lake hold out t; intending settlers the opputonity to take up land of which good homes cau be made, aud iu holding out this inducement, tbey waut to see only good, honest, enter prising people grasp this opportunity. for a peison to come in ami take up a homestead aud theu sit still all day aud reap rewards from bis land is but vagaries aud illusions of au idle dreamer. To clear the land takes work, arid bard work at tl.at.' To fence plow aud cultivate the land lakes work, money aud intelligence to do it in a proper manner. To tbe class who have these q uiillficut iona this section welcomes you, ana lr you do your part the soil will reimburse, you many times. As to fruit aud vegetables growing In this section we can ouly say, that as yet fruit raisiuR has not been tried, aud while probably all this vast territory will not be adapted to fruit, yet we believe there will be portions that will raise some fruit. As to vegetables, it will grow all tbe Lardy crops aud yield good returns.
