the good old coanty la to make a grand
stand finish, and get somewhere sear
its share of tbe benefits derived from

Put to attala tbla It U aiciatary that
Klamath' eoaaty people aead to the ex

vegetables, grains, etc, mast be kept

There ia another reaaoa way Klam

ANOTHER DRAIN
FOR WEED RANCH
WORK STARTED ON DRAIN THRU
MIDDLB OF 2100 ACM RANCH
TO COST S,000 WILL DRAIN
NORTH HALF
Work ha started on tbe digging
of another large drain on the 11,000
acre Weed ranch In Wood River Val
ley, which will cost $5,000 to complete.
Tbe dike aad drains constructed and
dug heretofore have aided wonderful
ly in keeping the water off the land,
bnt owtag to a alae emptying on about
tbe middle of the ranch from the north
the northern portion of the ranch Is
still looded.
The contemplated drain will take
care of thia water, aad means the re
claiming of the north half of the ranch.
according to J. Frank Adams, who vis
ited the place yesterday in company
with Abner Weed, owner.
"We rode our saddle horses over
places on that ranch yesterday that
two or three years ago you could not
nave traveled with high boot on,"
stated Mr. Adams.
"Some complaint Is heard about
anch large tract of land being held
by one party or company," stated Mr.
"But that land, the way I-
now stands, ia worth nothing to the
small inveator. He would be unable
to raise the money to reclaim It, while
under tbe control of Mr. Weed the
land will be reclaimed and then sold.
Of course for a higher price, but then
he will have invested large sums of
money .and made the land worth hav
tag. There Is room on that land now
for thousands of cattle to grate, aad
when the reclamation work is com
pleted there will be room for thous
ands more. Mr. Weed ha spent about
160,000 on the ranch now. that I know
of and In work that I have been Inter
an." I-de nee ante how muebt
We are running about 1,600
head of cattle now. and they do not eat
up the feed.
"Such men a Mr. Weed are a god
send to thi country, Thoy hare the
money and the power to put the land
In shape for cultivation. When I first
attempted to start work on tbe Old
Adams ditch I was pooh-poohed and
laughed at I could not raise 16,000
in this vatley to do the work. When I
hired a man I asked htm if he would
take part or all of his wagea out In
supplies, for though I could not get the
money to put the ditch through, I could
get credit at the store. Aad It waa by
that mean that I managed to get the
ditch built I was unable to do It my
self. The government came ia later.
then, aad wanted the ditch, and it waa
sold to them.
"The people here then did not real
ise what water will do oa this land of
our. They are just beginning to find
out I have some com oa my place
that County Agriculturist Olalsyer
sent d6wn, saying that It waa aweet
corn. It now atands fully fourteen feet
high, and has some time to grow yet
I have been looking for him, aa I want
to lad out whether it Is sweet corn,
Klamath county soil, or what It is.
There is so much soil on the Weed
ranch, and It la so deep, that .we are
taking the chance ot injuring it to
burn off a heavy mossy growth that
is found after the water gee off. It
ia necessary to get this off, and ao we
are burning it"
