Drying Up Story
There' U no strange phenomenon
In the disappearance of water
Ihrou&h a fissure at l-ake of the
Woods, bosuilful body of wsier
situated In Iho mountains north
west ot Klamath Pslhr.
This was Iho statement msde yes
lerdsy afternoon by Uoy "Doc"
Cook, local druggist who spent the
psst wcok-end at Ijike ot the Woods
at th Underwood cabin.
"Tho ramor that the lake was
drying up at an average of a fool
a dny Is all "hunk" and the. fnrl
that beat might he caught In
Ihn flssuro and sucked to tho bot

slated yoslvrday.
"Due to the unusually dry year.
and Iho lack of snow on tho sur- i
rounding mountains, tho water has ;
gone down ono-atxtcenlh of an Inch
n day. It has been proved. The
Inko "went dry" ones before, sev
eral years ago, because of similar
water conditions."
Deputy Came Warden Hoy Farr
of Jackson county stilted that tho
famous mountain resort would bo
bark la normal as soon aa the fall
rains start and thn drying up of
the Inko would not occur for ninny
years to come.
