for White Men
"Two thousand acres ot Irrigable
land in the vicinity of Modoc Point

Superintendent Fred A. Baker ot
the Klamath Indian reservation an
nounced today. By virtue of a re
cent ruling of the Indian depart
ment, the Indians may lease, their
land to whites for a period not to
exceed ten yeara.
' The department favors the leas
ing ox farm lands to the whites be
cause it' is apparent that there Is
more land than the Indians can
take care of." Mr. Baker said to
day. "By a recent ruling, the In
dians are free to lease their lands
to whites." '
The Irrigable land available In
cludes logged oft landi which Is
held to be fertile soli and adaptable
to the raising ot flue crops. The
unlrrigable ' land composes ideal
land for seed potatoes.
The decision of the department to
allow the Indians to lease their
lands was prompted by. the bene
fits to be derived by the lessee and
the 'lessor- through the transaction
and the' benefit to be derived by tbe
entire county through more farm
production. Those . who desire, to
negotiate tor leases on the available
tar mland must see the superin

Eighteen Feet
Of Snow Falls
At Crater Lake
A later season at Crater Lake than
usual and a larger supply of water
far southern Oregon than for many
years, will result from the record
breaking storage of snow along the
Cascade divide this year, according
to Peter Oard, the park ranger, who
telephoned last night that there are
now 18 feet of snowfall at Crater
Lake rim. Morover, the snowfall Is
packed down and frozen, so that the
water content Is believed to t twice
the average usually round at this
time or the year, according to Oard.
