'A wonderful country iwllli won

utoncn of a statement 'miulu by Al

trip over thn Klnmntli llailn,
Becrotnry Fall was taken over tho
territory whore tho government work
w being ilono by reclamation offl
clnli nnd whllo on tho scone, tbo sec
rotary ovldenced thn greatest Inter
est In tho work being done. "What
la that for, whuro does It bolonK and
what does It cost?" wore quostlons
'which ramo rapidly from him to tho
superintendents and supervisors.
From thn humblest worker to tho of
ficial In charted, tho men connected
with tho work worn Intorvlnwnd on
tho progress and tho material se
cure'd atorod nwnr In thn mind of
tho man whoso word wl'l mean
much In thn futuro development of
this great basin.
At tho Henley flumn, whnrn a
modem roncrotn flumn la being
erected on a pre cant basis to sup
plant the wooden atru'eturo now con

an well as exhaustive Investigation.
The sections, benta and stringers, n
well aa tho manner In which tho

Iravlriiig-ornctor, woro gono Into nnd
tho cost ascertained. On ooncroto,
coat, both hero unil nt tho Link rlv
or dam, tho aamo question was nak
ed ot tho superintendents. "What
doea concrntn cument coat laid down
here?" Whon tho engineer at each
placa replied "IG.CO n sack," It li
evident tbat at onco tho high price
was causing tho Washington man to
do soma thinking.
"Well, nt IS. CO n sack, both the
California Oregon Tower company
nnd tho reclamation forces must pay
thn samn prlcn su thoro la no l 1 f
forenco Ihero, but thnt Is very high
comparod to other projects whero co
ment la bolnic used, film mo the
reason?" was tho next question.
"HlKh frulght rates, Mr. Fall, that
Is what wo arn up against, ana I
presumo that Mr. McCormlck could
better ntiswcr tho question of why
thn rntn Is so hi Kb," wus thn reply
mado by ono of thn reclamation su
perintendent. With a amlln Becro
tnry Fall aald perhaps Mr. McCor
mlck could, und It was a vital que,
tlon that must bo taken up t onco,
looking toward socurlng a batter
freight rato.
Upkoop charges, overhead, wngus,
transportation, possible uso of water,
and minor details ot tho Irrigation
system In thn valley woro entertained
Into with reclamation officials but
when an attempt was mado to pin
tho secretary down to a posslblo re
port, thu answor Invariably came,
"I'm horn to ask questions, neo
things lit tho reality and mako ro

In nvldent thnt Secretary Fall wna
wary on bolng drawn out before com

A well conducted creamery In a'n

u number of reasons. It employs
several men who nro supported to

munlty receives tbo benefit of tho
companies taxes and donations to
ono causo and nnother. It enables
thu dairy farmer to got a ready mar
ket for hlti cream without tho loss
that often comes from long dlstanco
shipping. Thn consumer Is enabled
to got a constant supply of buttor
and I Co cream trash for uso. The
manufactured products that nra

ity monoy from tho outside that oth
orwlso would not get Into local cir
culation.
Especially Is this Iron In Kla

,ln and far from tho outsldo mar-'
kcts. Wcro thero no creameries In I
Klamath county many who nro now
milking would. bo unablo to satis
factorily market their cream and
would bavo to discontinue opera
tions. ' At thin tlmo with thn prlco of
buttorfat on tho Incllno and tho low
prlco of hay and feed "with tho largo
surplus of feed raised this season,
It Is an exceptional opportunity to
go Into tho dairy business. Thoro
Is no lino of farming that Is so woll
adapted to this section of thn coun
try today. Tho lucomn Is regular
and good prlcas rulo all through tho
year with tbo posslblo exception of
about thrca months In tbo spring
when production Is the heaviest on
the- coast. At tbat tlmo buttor
prices urn always tbo lowest while
tho annual movement into storago
Is at Its height.
Tho dslryman receives a harvest
return each month. In addition to
tho monoy received fropt thu sale
of cream ho has tho skim milk to
turn Into pork or chickens. This Is
a real byproduct of dairying and In
considering tbo returns from his
cows each dairyman should not
loosn sight of this as It Is an im
portant rourco of Incomo.
Tho Klamath Falls creamery be

until August 1st, 1921, thoro were
290,414 pounds ot butter and 16.

That year tho highest prlco paid was

During this tlmo tho creamery
shipped out to tho San Francisco,
