Plant Trees
The months of October and Novum

MOTHS DLOCK ROAD
IN FLIGHT SOUTH
Silver Lake Sends out Best
Story Relative to
Butterflies
Silver Lake. Or.. Sent. 6. Flying
in swarms so thick at time thev ob
scured the sun, drove ra.ise riders from
the trail and stopped automobiles,
thousands upon thousands of brown
butterflies or moths have just finished
their migration to tbe south across the
hills southeast of Silver Lake.
F. M. Chrisraan, a local merchant,
and George W. Marvin, secretary of
the Silver Lake Commercial Club, were
crossing the hills in an automobile col
lecting Lake County grain to be ex
hibited a, an Eastern Land Show,
when they encountered the cloud of
butterflies. The insects were flving
close to the ground and eo dense was
the swarmsthat the road waa hiden and
the autoists stopped their machine and
waited for the drove to pass. It was
more than an hour before the machine
could proceed safely.
In the center of the swarm, Mr.
Marvin sava. the heat waa stifling and
the stench ao nauseating that the
motorist lav flat on the ground and
tied oil-soaked handkerchiefs over
their faces.
Following the automobile a few
miles back waa Richard Sherlock, an
old-time sheepman of Central Oregon,
encountered the flight his horse became
bewildered, lost the trail and wandered
off into the wooded foothills.
Whence this myriad of little insect
came ia as much of a mystery as where
it waa going, as none of the treea or
other vegetation of the valley has been
attacked bv caterpillars this season.
The insects apparently wer cater
pillar larvae.

a dispatch to tbe Portland Journal.
The board as a whole favored tbe re
quested increase In the' lien from $35
to $r0 per acre, but Governor West
held $42.50 was sufficient to cover ex
penses and insure a profit. A com
promise was agreed upon and tbe lien
was raised to $45. Thia reduction of
$5 per acre will save $60,000 for the
setLlers. as the project includes ap
proximately 12.000 acrea. Tbe company
will be required to put up a $50,000
bond to complete tbe project. A rep
resentative of the company left for
Philadelphia to aubr it the proposition
of the atate board to the companv.
Governor Weat made a motion for
the atate to take the project off tbe
hand of the Portland Irrigation com
panv and develop it by use of the con
vict labor, selling the land to settler
at (lightly above cost and turning in
the margin to the school fund. The
board rejected thia proposition, but
t tbe consensu of opinion was that such
j a plan might be readily woraed out
with some of the many other favorable
' DrJecta- The board believes that tbe
best interests of tbe faiaiev project
now warrant letting the new company
have the contract, which thev are

night in Klamath Falls and left yester
day morning for Pendleton, where he
goes to attend the meeting of the Ore
gon Good Roads commission. v which

Judge Daly ia one of the greatest
boosters of good roads Southern Ore
gon has. He started a move early in
the. Spring for better roads
to make his eountv the pioneer
for road building in this part of the
state and as a result Lake county has
some of the best hiehwavs to be found
in the interior. Although his county
haa spent a large amount for road
building, be declares that the entire
people are back of him in his good
work and although expensive, much
good haa already been accomplished
and more ia due. He is enthusiastic
in the cause and compliments Judge
Worden and the county commissioners
of KIariath over the work that has
been done here along this line, but savs
he hope to have the two counties join
in closer touch bv still improving the
road between here and Lakeview bo
the .people will not have any kick
coming at the bumps and bad condi
tions that formerly existed. In fact
much has already been done to make
this road good the year round, but still
more can be accomplished toward this
end and more will be done with the
coming year. The judge is a member
of the Oregon Good Road Commission.
Judge George T. Baldwin ia also a
member, both having been recently
appointed by Governor West

can
have .the plant paid for bv the time, he
is able to obtain water from any other
source, and he Is now securing
estimates as to the probable cost of tbe
outfit It ia proposed to obtain the
necesasry power bv means or a gaso

to raise the water only a few feet and
carry it a comparatively short distance.
Fine Spuds
S Dine tine potatoes, raised on J. F.
Hanson's ranch on the West Side, were
on exhibition at Hoiel Lakeview this

LOW PRICES HOLD
IN MUTTON MARKET
Lambs Go at $2 to $2.35;
Weathers Bring $2.50
--Few Sales
With beef soaring around the 9ie

mutton should be so low. Tbe first
sales reported locally are from $2 to
$2.35 for lambs delivered at the rail

per head. The Iambs were extra good,
and Mr. McKendree paid the top price.
The other sale was made by Simon
Juanto to Geo. Swanston. who paid $2
each for 400 lambs.
These prices are extremely low as
compared with those of a year ago,
when tbe market onened at $3.25.
Yesterday Lou McCulley purchased
from Manuel Sanders about 3u00 twe
and three-vear-old weathers, the Dnc
being $2.50 per head. A vear ago the
