proves that tho county court of Klnm
nth county nct.il wisely In going Into

work. It nover hns been, up to tho
present tliuo. possible to bond for
rend construction. Tho only way be
ing to mnku a levy for such purposes
or drawing on the general fund for
such sums as might bo needed for
nmd ronatrurtlon. Tho decision of
tlio supremo court of Into, emanating
fi.im nn appeal In l-ino county, prov
ed I hut tho court was right In going
lntnrtho general fund, nnd now that
bond Utiles en mint bo made for nt
leant another ear, acrnituntes the
nrtlon of tho court In tho course It
took last year. At Its first term It
had to meet tho situation by either
milking n largo and burdensome levy
for road construction or to secure tho
name from some sourco which could
bo pnld hereafter by tho cltliena of
Klnmulh county other than the ones
who would tune to bear the burden
now under n levy, and tho only way
pi.tn.lhlo under tho law to do this wns
hy tho Uxuanro ot warrants on tho
general fund, nnd whllo It Is unfor
tunnto thnt warrants wero forced to
n discount, still It Is belloved thnt tho
hhowlng of Klamath county with a
flo,nao,000 tax roll, and something
over $200 000 Indebtedness, Is suffi
cient to warrant tho sale ot county
warrants nt par, tho Indebtedness be
ing u mere bagatelle.
Tho lutlon ot tho court In making
a bsvoii mill lovy for road construc
tion during 1!12 was wise, for tho
reason that It glvos It available cash
to do considerable work, which, add
ed to what was accomplished last
year will mean a great doal to Klam
ath county. '
Thus It U easy to seo that tho
court has accomplished In a way for
last year what might havo been ac
complished by a bond, by the Issuanco
of warrants which draw six per cent,
and can bo paid at a later date. The

Lease Lake County Lakes For Sake
Of Developing Salt Deposits Ttierin
SALEM, Jan. 25. Application for
a 40-year lease or Hummer ana Al
bert lakes In Lake county tor the de
velopment of salt deposits wss made
hero by C. M. Bain, representative of
New York capitalists. Tho proposi
tion ombodles tbe payment of royal
ty to tbe state ot 10 per cent, with
the provision that the royalty shall
not fall below 50 cents per ton for
common table salt and It per ton for
nil other sslts. Tbe written proposi
tion submitted says the capitalists are
ready to put up a bond of $50,000.
The plan contemplates building a
vat on Summor lake covering 2,000
acres, and a vat on Albert lake cov
ering 1,000 acres, each to have a ca
100,000 tons ot salt annually. Re
fining and calcining plants to cost
1100,000 are also Included In the
plan, alt to be completed wltbtn two
years after the lease Is granted. It Is
desired to begin construction work
June 1st.
The estimates attached to the prop
osition are; Summor lake, 14,000,
000 tons of salt and Albert Inks II.
000,000 tons of salts. On this total
ot 40,000,000 tons of salts In the two
lakea the royalty under the oSer
would yield the stats probably III.-000,000.
