PAHLK OK kntaiii.ishi.nTT" lU(i SCHOOL Fl'.M LANDflBOARD COMMENDED A Portland Promoter Show Wlmt The StMle Would ! l Selling The IHMiNit.t for a More Son Tht following detailed account showing the wealth contained in Summer nml Abort Lakes of this county was Ri.cn in a recent issue of tho Portland Journal: A Portland promoter, who recent ly returned from New York city, in talking of the recent contest be tween contending factions before the state land board over the leasing of Summer and Abert lakes in Lake County, said: i "Probably no one in Oregon has any conception of the value of these lakes. The state of Oregon leased them so mo time ago. The owner of the lease organized a company in New York City, incorporating it In Deleware for f 1,000,000. A fight ensued between rival factions for control of the company. Meanwhile the old contract lapsed, each of the factions intending to make a new contract with the state and secure control. While this was going on the matter was brought to the at tion of a millionaire capitalist in New York, who offered to buy the hikes outright for 19,000.000. pay ment to be part rash and part com mon and preferred stock, in a pro posed company. At a recent meeting of the land board, action was post poned pending investigation. "The United States government has surveyed the lakes and brought out geological und topographical maps, which show the area to be 130 square miles, or 83,000 acres. The government analysis shows also that the lakes contain three salts soda salt and potash. This analysis is con firmed by numerous analyses of lead ing chemists throughout the United States, which show that the water contains about three pounds of salts to the cubic foot, or a total of 4 0, 000,000 tons of sodu. and 1,500,000 tons of potash. These salts market ed at $10 a ton would amount to $400,000,000. V "The potash la these lakes sells as high as $60 a ton, and the soda for about $1$ or $20 a ton. If the state got $1 a ton out of the whole tonnage as royalty, wo would re ceive $40,000,000 for our school fund, and yet the New York bidders offered the pitiful sum of $1,L'50,000 to $1'. 000, 000 for the lakes, includ ing the land, the amount to be paid over a long period of time. And that not withstanding a New York capi talist placed a valuation of a mini mum of $75,000,000 net, and a maximum of $200,000,000 net. "When we realize that practically all the soda now on the market is manufactured soda which costs from $7 to $9 per ton, while the Oregon soda can now be produced for $2 a ton net, allowing the state a dollar a ton royalty, or $18,000,000 for royalty for salt alone, we realize the safe margin there is in marketing the soda in these lakes. The soda consumed in the United States amounts to about $20,000,000 a year, selling at from $12 to $24 a ton. It enters into all glass indus tries, into the manufacture of paper, and into the making of soap. "The amount of soda in this lake, if wisely used, to develop the indus tries depending upon It, all of the raw materials of which lie in profuse quantities in Oregon, would increase the volumns of business beyond all calculations. It is estimated that there is $27,000,000 worth of com mon table salt. Independent of the soda and potash. The potash is used primarily for fertilizing, and will he recovered as a by-product. It is worth about $4 0 a ton, and the lakes contain about $56,000,000 worth at that rate. The United States market alone consumes about $40,000,000 worth of the products of these lakes per annum. "The value of these lakes may be more readily realized by comparison with other forms of natural wealth, Kor example oil. The Great Lake view gusher oil well is credited with a production of 40,000 barrels per day,maintaining this rate month af ter month, until $3,000,000 worth of oil was thrown out of this well. It would require ten such oil wells, spouting continuously for 13 1-2 years to gush $400,000,000 worth of solution now contained in the lakes, and the difference is that the value of the lakes does not evaporate or deteriorate In any way, but rests there in perfect conservation, to he removed at the pleasure of man. "The value of these lakes is equal to 660,000,000 bushels of wheat. Compared to timber, at $1 a thou sand, the lakes are worth almost as much as the timber of Oregon. Aa to gold, ten of the largest gold mines of the West, combined, have not pro ven tonnage equivalent to tho total tonnage of commercial units In these deposit. While the talta are worth less, it costs less to recover them than it does to extract the value from the mines. "And yet that Immense value is locked up In a body of water cover ing 83,000 acres, with an average depth of only seven feet. There It lies und ran be looked over almost at one view . "Is it any wonder then that the cupidity of tho capitalistic class was excited and that the bidding . was fierce? These values were revealed to the state land board almost ex clusively by tho Portlnnd rltlsen who hud accldently met them, being hawked on the market of New York city, and all honor Is due the land board for Its prompt action in tak ing the fhkes off the market aa aoon as the real value of the property waa discovered. Tho board's wisdom la shown in Its decision to call to Its assistance the advice of tho citizens of Oregon on the proper disposition of these lakes. "If these properties are properly developed and the stewardship which recovers tho values is proper ly organised, which no doubt will be done, Oregon may develop a great industry. Such development the peo ple of Oregon ought to, and, no doubt will demand, and they will no doubt find a ready response from the pre sent state land board, which will make the victory just won through this board a permanent asset ot the citizens of Oregon for all tlmo to come. The defoat of all candldatea with fads and fancies In the recent pri maries ndicates that Oregon la com ing Into a more aano condition.
