I KANSAS "MliER" GETS IN HIS WORK Says Lake view Has COO Population 50 Years Behind Times The Examiner is in receirt of a letter written by H. II. Jontn. of Lakeview, to the HMam. Kanra. Clipper. Mr. Jones' letter is auite entertaining. In asmuch as it contains much that is new, although perhatw he was in a jocular mood when inditing his epistle. Among other things he savs : "The town has about 800 inhabitants, counting Indians and all. There are bout one doien real estate office aud I don't know how many saloons, as I never had time to count them, for it takes a man all the time to make a liv ing. I put in about 70 acres of small grain : it came up and looked nice, but fro re off till the first of June. Most of the' (train is killed. NearlyTall of the fruit except apples is killed." The entire letter is of similar vein, and in a postscript Mr. Jones states that we are 60 years behind the world in i his country. With bumper Brain crops that will jield many bushels to the acre, this section has nothing to fear from such letters as the above. Strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, dewberries and other small fruits have been abun dant, while apricots and peaches in the Summer Lake district are very plentiful. Apples are always abundant and this year is no exception. Mr. Jones was no doubt joshing the peo ple of William Allen White's state and did not mean to knock Lake county.

The inside of the safe in about 12 inches deep and 28 inches in diameter, divided into two compartments, and each of these are also closed by doors equipped with combination locks. The safe is to all intents and pur poses burglar and fire proof, its class having withstood all tests. It is practi cally drill-proof also, while all joints are so nest fitting that it would be im noesible for a burglar to insert any ex- - plosive which would blow the safe open. The safe occupies a prominent place in the bank and is greatly ad mired by all who see it. PAISLEY PROJECT IN AIR Continued from first paga New Summer Resort Mrs. S, A. Ramer, of Davla CTeek. has arranged her right of way matters with the railroad in regard to her property around Sugar Hill, recently tought from Lester and E. C. Bonner. In addition to a cash payment for the right ot way, Mrs. Ramer is to have side track and flag station and the summer resort about to be opened fcy her at the foot of the hill on the lake, is to be liberally advertised by the rail road. This spot is far ahead of any place on Lake Tahoe. according to the opinion of those who have been In both places, and should prove to be one of the ban ner summer re-orts in the State of California, when it is properly devel oped.

Campers and hunters should be csreful to see that all fires are thoroughlv extinguished before leaving. Another thing to be borne in mind is that canning grounds especially those in the neighborhood of streams, swings or other bodies of drinking water, should be thoroughly cleaned of refuse. It is a well known fact that carcasses of animals and other decaying foodstuffs pollute water verv easily, with injurious results to the person drinking the water. Most people are particular on these points, but occasionally we run across one who is somewhat neglectful.

In response to demands from settlers on the Paisley project in Lake county, the desert land board today cancelled the state's contract with the Portland Irrigation Company. The project will be adver tised so all reclamation companies will have an opportunity to get the con tract. This was one of the projects personally investigated by the state officials earlier in the month. The contract between the state and the United States for the reclamation of 12.037 acres form the Chewaucan river, in northern Lake county, was executed September 11. 1907. The contract between the Paisley Irrigation company and the state was executed on February 25, 1907. providing for com mencement of work within six months after the date of execution of the state's contract with the United States. Owing to the financial crisis, work was not commenced within this time. An extension of time was grant ed, and again. August, 1908. and again Februaiy 24. 1909. still other exten sions of time, within which to begin work were granted. Since that lime the company and the board have been unable to aree on any further exten sion. People residing in the vicinity of the project protested against further ex tensions and requested the state to cancel the company's contract so that lands would be thrown open to entry. This company's contract with the state provided for the construction of an 80 foot dam. which would flood 2380 acres in what is known as the Upper Chewaucan valley, and store 12,800 acre feet of the surplus water of this stream, the water to be releaHed when needed arid cunveyed in a natural stream channel about 20 miles north and diverted upon the valley lands, which are located on the divide be tween Abert and Summer Lakes. The contract with the Deschutes Land company, for which 31.023 acres has been selected under the Carey act. is under consideration now by the board.
