"Oregon" Is the title of an ex
cellent booklet Issued by the Great
Northern Hallway which is designed
to furnish " accurate Information for
laud seekers. The booklet Is profuse
ly illustrated with photographic
scenes taken In Central Oregon. In
speaking of Iake County, it says:
Lake County lies south of Crook
and west of Harney County, extends
southward to the state line, contains
over 7.000 square miles and a popu
lation of 4,658 In 1910. The north
west portion lies in the Des Chutes
forest Reserve and the northeast por
tion In the vicinity of Kort Rock,
Silver Lake and Christmas Lake.
While recently quite briskly settled
In homesteads. It still contains a con
siderable, area of agricultural lat.d
open to homestead entry. Tho hi'
face aside from the timbered ji;1
mountain portions, Is a rollmy level
table land, averaging between 4.0('O
and 4,500 feet above sea level. The
soil Is of volcanic ash, mixed with
loam on the higher mountain lem't
I.nds, and the climate is even n:id
dry with a rainfall varying f.cu
eleven to seventeen Inches. Much of
tho open table land is covered wt b
a heavy growth of bunch grass and is
admirable pasture for all stock.
Many lukes and small streams are
found here, making it an Ideal stock
country. Much of the stock now
grazed on tho open range la owned
by the small farmers who have home
ranches on the lakes, small streams
and In the small valleys in the foot
hills. Land values are low as com
pared with the annual Income from
these home ranches and when con
sidered In connection with the graz
ing privileges enjoyed by them. The
homesteaders are gradually accumu
lating a small band of stock. There
Is room for a great expansion In the
number of small farms in this local
ity. Like Crook and Harney counties.
Lake County has a great amount of
Irrigable land there being over 273.
000 acres now embraced within irri
gation projects In various stages of
development. Including the Goose
Lake, Warner Lake, and Summer
Lake projects, and a number of other
smaller projects as well. As In Har

A ne v hose cart was ordered t?

DISTRICT
ANOTHER BANK DUE WEST
President Says No Immediate An
nounreinent of Appointment of
Five Members of Federal
Hoard is Expected
After three months of considera
tion the reserve bank has announc
ed the division of the continental
United States Into 12 banking dis
tricts and selected 12 cities where
Federal reserve banks are to be lo
cated under the new currency law.
Thin was the first decisive step to
ward the establishment of the new
system. The bank with the great
est capital, J13.351.925, will be sit
uated at Chicago. New York state
wilt be a district by Itself, with the
bank In New York City. This bank
will have a capital of $10,687,616.
The location of banks and districts
are as follows: Dlst. No. 1, Boston;
No. 2. New York; No. 3, Philadel
phia; No. 4, Cleveland; No. 6. Rich
mond, Va.; No. 6, Atlanta; No. 7,
Chicago; No. 8, St. Louis; No. 9,
Minneapolis; No. 10, Kansas City;
No. 11, Dallas; No. 12, San Fran
cisco. ,
The only reserve bank assigned
to the Pacific Coast is at San Fran
cisco. It will serve six states and
purt of another, and will include 514
National bankn-. . The population of
this district which is designated as
the twelfth, is 5.S89.303. It cov
ers 603,658 square miles. The re
serve bank's capital will ba $8,115.
524. The states included are Cali
fornia. Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Neada, Utah and part of Arizona.
The organization committee was
not authorized by law to provide for
branch banks of the Federal reserve
banks, but the act states that such
banks shall be established. This task
will bo left to the supervision of
the Federal reserve board yet to be
appointed by President Wilson.
The organization committee in its
announcement called attention to the
fact that under the requirements of
that ant it could not find grounds for
the establishment of more than one
bank on the Pacific Coast but held
out the hope that in the near future
another bank would be authorized
by Congress and located somewhere
in this great section.
The next step to be taken by the
organization committee will be the
notification to banks entering the
system of the plan for the districts.
Within ten days of the time Biich
notice is recelvedby banks, each must
under the law, begin the payment for

arising from advanced years and a
cold contracted about two weeks

TAX OPINION GIVEN
STATE CANNOT APPEAL FROM
JUDGE CLEETON'S DECISION
Attorney-General Says Acceptance by
Multnomah County is Not
Binding on Other
Not being a party to the suit in the
Circuit Court, Attorney-General
Crawford Informed the State Tax
Commission that it could not appeal
from the decision of Circuit Judge
Cleeton, of Multnomah County, re
garding the collection of penalties on
last haf of annual tax payments be
fore September 1. .
The opinion was asked by the
Commission soon after the injunc
tion waa granted. The members of
the Commission have never said that
they desired to appeal the case, and
unless the Multnomah County auth
orities appeal, the decision of Judge
Cleeton will stand.
This, however, does not apply to
other counties. It was pointed out,
and whether any of the other tax
collectors will Insist upon collecting
the penalty Is a matter about which
the Commission has not been inform
ed. It has issued a statement to the
citizens to use their own judgment
regarding the payment of taxes.
