COW HEAD IRKI
lilllllN SCHEME
The imgation project in which
(leu. Ayres, of Lakeview in chief
promoter, tu utilize the waters of
Ou vv head Lake to irrigate sage-brush
lauds of northern Surprise valley,
seems in a fair way of being realized.
A number of surveyors bavo been
at work the last mouth making sur
veys. Anout 00,000 acres of choice
s tge brush laud cuu be brought un
der cultivation by the cauul, anil the
undertaking is h very reasonable
proposition to be considered. Abuut
:12,(KKJ feet of tuuuel aud open cutj
will be necessary to carry the waters
to the lauds, which are considered
to bo the choice grain ami alfalfa
land of the valley.
Halt Lake parties are suit) to lie br
liiiui the undertaking and are very
nuch pleased with the proposition,
which has been a long felt want, for
the advancement of the agricultural
interest of one nf the productive val
leys of Northeru California. Many
beautiful homes will be transformed
from t ho sage biush laud which now
Is practically considered a barren
w Bste.
WATER COMPANY IMPROVEMENTS
The water company is miikng exten
sivo impi ovtinients iu the system.
Larger pipe are being: laid, exten
sions are beiug made to newer parts
of Ihe town, and the pipes conduct
ing the water from the springs to the
reservoir given greater capcity. Much
of the larger pipe ordered is delay e I
at Alturas. The management is try
ing to keep abreast with the march ot
impi ovemeiits iu the town.

FILED ARTICLES OF
Articles of incorporation were
signed in Susanville last week lot
the tletlulte location of the Uoose
Lake Southern from Alturas dowu
the Pitt river to three miles north
of Lookout. Also oue for the Mo
il oo Northeru commencing ou tbe
State line at Tule Lake aud running
southerly along tbe east shore of the
lake for a distance of 25 miles. An
other road that tiled its papers at the
same time aud place is the Feruly aud
Lassen which starts ou the main line
of the S. 1'., east of Wadswortb aud
runs via Pyiamid lake through Ama
dee aud Kusauville t a point uear
Mountin Meadows, inaklug a junc
tion with the Cioose Lake and South
ern surveyed through Lakeview.
OUR APPLES BEST
The Ccdaiville iiecord reports that
Modoc County apples were given ths
prize at tho Seattle Kxpositiou for
being the best fruit exihhited. This
means the apples of Surprise or
(inl, ten lioOHB Lake. When we get
our railroads the fume of our apples
will eclipse tho fame of any grown
uny where. F.veti the golden apples of
the garden of the gods of old would
pot t'i liiul them.
Hon. Jonathan llourne, Jr., has
an article in tho October Outlook,
ou " llnxv to Spend ii Hilliuu Dol
lars." It is a comprelienisve ' paper,
ami is well worth rending. He also
gave out a paper recently over his
own signature tiefeiiding the primary
law, ami taking exceptions to the
" tn-scmhly " plan. We shall at some
future time give both these articles
in lull.

j in addition to test the artesian well
j problem. He now has the outfit at
work on one of his farms seven miles
i this side of lionauza, in Klumath
County, When he left the drill was
down 102 feet. The grouod selected
for the first "ell proved to tie a shale
full of hard boulders which makes
; slow progress fur the drill. Hut as
the outfit is caoable of reaching
3KJ feet or rr ore, he believs the
workmen will have no trouble in
soon getting down to a solid forma
tion. When he gets the present wll com
pleted he intends putting down an
experimental well in the Warner V;il
ley, and then elsewhere about Lake
county.
Mr. Kdler has gone into the matter
to succeed, and we trust he will ac
compolish his purpose nf discovering
artesian well belts in different parts
nf Lake and Klamath counties.
It is fortunate foi others that a
man of his wealth and purpose has
had thy courage of his convictions to
enter upon n costly au experiment.
If he succeeds ethers will hive the

i FRUIT DRYER FI
NANCIAL SUCCESS
Fruit Inspector Smith is
of the Opinion We Need
a Fruit Evaporator
A. M. Smith, cur County fruit in
spector says that Saeiaruento buyers
were iu SurDiise Valley and pur
chase! 4,0i"0 boxes of apples for that
market It took j big S-horse outfits
to haul them to the ruilroad.
He nnys the fruit evaporator at Ce
darville is a big success. It affords
employment for nil the men, women
and children that cau be secured, aud
besides provides a market for fruit
that otherwise would rot, on the
ing a Dig ana prontame maiKet tor
its product, some of it beiug sold
right here in Lakeview.
lu view of all these facts Mr. Smith
rightly concludes that a fruit drying
establishment and a caunery would
be a money making institution in tbe
upper Cioose Lake valley.

WELL OUTFIT UP NORTH
Hend lbilletiu: Frank Powers, of
Christmas Lake, ou the lower end of
the High Deseit, passed through
llend the first ot ttie week with au
engine and a deep well boring ma
chiue which will be used iu this
locality to bore for artisiau wells.
The machine is capable of boring to
a depth of ',2,500 feet, and the Christ-mar-
Lake settlers, who are interested
in the scheme are fully coulldeut
that they will strike an urtisiuu How
before that depth is reached.
Klamath Falls is walking all over
itself, and huggiMtm itself with jny,
because the 'Oregon Trunk has an
nounced that it is uuiug to "build
