Thu evidence of what small fruits will do Is found In tho wealth of wild bofrlcs. All tho borrios may bo grown to great advantage as soon as n market becomes available. Tho richness of tho soil and tho oasu with, which It Is worked make the Klamath section a vast potontlal garden. Here, with Irrigation, Inten sive cultivation will bo widely prac ticed. Tho careful cultivation that makes land In sections of Southern California, tho Han Joaquin, Sacra mento, Santa Clura, l'njaro, Arroyo Grande and other California valleys worth hundreds of dollars per acre will produco thu same result here. Thu Klamath llaslu Is already a great native pasture-land, and when aro added alfalfa, clover, etc., It will bo an unexcelled dairy country. At present cattlo and sheep occupy thu fields. There aro many llcrefords and sorno Shorthorns, Dovons and Galloways.

The topoginphy of thu land Is such that tho water from tho lake cuu bo dis tributed over u large urea by giavlty. Clear Lake, lu California, Is the source ot the uppor projoct.

This oddest ot streams, "meandering with a maty motion," after flowing aimlessly a hundred mllos, arrlvos within six miles ot Its sourco aud finally sinks in Tulo Lake. Tulo Lake, a broad shoot of water, wnoao great est depth la about 30 feet, has no other water supply and no outlet. With tho dtvorslon ot Lost itlvor, its bed will ba partly reclaimed.
