SCHOOLS ARE IN
GOOD SHAPE
Supt. Jackson Thinks
Improvements are
Necessary
Supt of schools Jackson, was in
towu Friday, on bis return from a
tour of the ttcboois of the county.
He says that some of tbe schools,
those recently built, preaeut a very
neat appearance, the bouse being
painted white with red roof, with
neat fence, trim and tidy out build
ings, aud well kept grounds. Other
schools presented a very dilapitated
aud neglected appearance, lu view
of these cond'tlons he made a spec
ial appeal to civic pride for the
prompt repair of buildings aud
tenons, and where needed either that
new building should iih ereotedor up-to-date
additions be const rooted. He
also recommended that there be a
uniformity in painting all school
buildings white with red roofs, aud
that all grounda bo nicely f untie J as
such tblugs always appeal to the new
comers, many of whom are uow 011 the
ground aud others beaded tbia way.
lie fcxpeccts that the county will
be mipplied w ith a uw corps of teach
era I t full and mivs that 1111 to Kept.
1st of this year that there doubtless
will be places fur all applicants.
Tbe general ooudltiou of the schools
is good, aud with the graduates of
the lower grades enabled to pass iu
to blub schools within tbe oouuty,
Mr. Jacksou believes that Lake
Couutv will boou take frout rank iu
an educational way iu Oregou.
There Is considerable speculation as
to tbe nurposeZof tbe fso-oalled "au
tomobile road1' leadlug out of Al-tut-uu
ln.nd.i for Lakevlew and uow
11 niier active coustruotiou. There is
no dobut but that it will be used

SMALL FARMERS
ARE" DOING WELL
Concrete Instances Given
to Establish Fact
Beyond Dispute .
Will ."i. 10, 20 or 40 acres in (loose
Lake Valley support a family?
Well, it all depends upju t be. in HQ-.
l-'or instance. The Hxaminer is. in
formed on the very creditable author
ity of neighbor that during tbe sea
son of !907. Mr. C. M. Taylor, wbo
live near New Pine Creek, OreogD,
in the southern end of Lake. County,
in the Golden Coose Lake valley,
actually received ia cash from a lo
cal market tbe mBgoiticeut surn of
l,5U tor bis garden and orchard pro
ducts! This sum was obtained exclu
sive of a furtner income of dairy,
poultry and other farm products.
The Examiner is strongly inclined
in tbe belief that 34.500 per anuum
will keep auy family in very good
circumstances, provided, cf course,
thut the heal of the same possesses
no vicious or extravagant tenden
cies. Hut, notwithstanding Mr. Taylor's
succers, do not jump at the conclu
sion that every mau who comes here
could do as well or better every year.
Some might do go, but the majority
might not. Again, for instance,
some meu possess the babits of a
ppeu Ithritt, or might be lazv and
improvident, ami of course the 10
acres or ev u HKfi acres in such bauds
ouli not eaiiiouot to a bill of white
beans.
The fact of the matter is that it
takes work, and lots of it, and close
attention, with no side issues, to
make a success iu any line, and the
man ivo a ten acre, or eveu .i 40-acre
tract iu the ijoldu tioosu Lake val
ley, or iu auy othe valley or section
anywhere in oritr to succeed must
hustie.
It is pretty evident that Mr. Tay
lor ia a bustier, aud so is Mr. Urilus,
of Davis Creek, another man b;i has
made a success in gardening and or
char-ling in thi (ioose Lake Valley
and there are many otheis whose
names we do not now recull.

out this valley is being cleared and
put into crop. Owing to tbe almost
extreme dry spring that baa prevailed
graiu crops are not looking their
best Tbe weather, bowevsr, is get
ting warmer and cloudy, and indica
tions are more faovrablo for better
crops. Grass on tbe . ranges, is good
and stock is now doing weiL
Christmas lake vail'ey is one of the
best grass-producing nectidns in
Southern Oregon. ; Consequently a
line aud profitable stock - growing
country. It is predicted that even
tually this wbol? valley will be fenced
aud tue homesteaders and private
holdings will iuvet largely and suc
cessfully in stock-raising. The lay
of the laud in the whole valley is a
level plain
(Juite a large amount of land 13

at tbia time to rsstima'.e the general
price it can be bought for. Some of
the best can be bought iu this vicin
ity at about 310 an acre.
Aa to railroads, it ia simply up to
C . II. llarriman, when be sees fit tn
build. The final survey runa directly
through this valley, emerging from
tbe Cascade through the Walker
Range in by Fort Rock, through to
Christmas Lake, thence a little south
and near Clitf, on through to tbe
Harney Vallev country.
; There is yet quite a large amount
cf government land sufficient for a
colony if such wanted to establish
itself in one locality. Since the first
settlements three years ago, it la so
far only developed as a grass and
stock country, while some have bad
fair success with tbe grain, such aa
rye. barley, wheat and oata to a lim
ited extent, and ma ly have faith that
it will ultimately produce good
yields uuder proper tillage of tbe dry
fariuiug system.
VALLEY FALLS IS
NEWEST TOWN
Located in Lower Che

Promises
. petitiou for a postottlce to be
knowu as Valley Falls with Ernest
L. II. Meyer as P. M.. ia beiug cirou
lated for pieseutatiou , to tbe post
otiiee autboriteia in Washington.
Tbe uew town ia located midway be
tween Lakeview and Paisley, 25 milea
north of bere on tbe old stage road,
which la said to be a better road than
tbe one uow in use, although five
milea longer to Paisley. The petition
baa about '.iO Dames, aud probably
will tie granted.
Mr. Meyer ia one of the O. V. L.
Co. eugiueers. He ia about to es
tablish a store at Valley Falls, aud
haa a stock of goods now on the way,
aud ia erecting a store uuilidu.'. with
barns for the acc.onnno latiou of
teamsters.
Valief Falls is situated ou the
lower end of tbe Cbewauoau vallev,
aud ia ou the surveyed Hue of rail
road miming from Lakeview North
to intersect the Vale--Eugene east aod
west line. Tbe town is platted, aud
already half a duzeu or more loti
have beeu sold. It ia so situated
tbat it will, ou the coming of the
railroad, command the trade of tbe
Chewaucan valley, and will grow into
a town of cousiderable importance.
The promoters are all railroad eu
igueers, wbo asiasted iu the surveys
throuhgout this saotiou, and for that
reason probably are fully awsre of
what will be tbe outoome, or iu other
words tbe future is assured for tbe
new town of Valley Falls.
