It has two saw mills and two planing mills and sash and door factories. t»ur city water comes from great springs of fine soft water, clear as crys­ tal, near town. We have water works, electric lights and telephones. These are ontrolle.1 by one company which has recently increased its power plant to als>ut VM) horse power. The jsiwer comes from the Falls above town in Link River. There is also a steam laundry and flouring mill. It has one gis-d new steam boat and some smaller craft plying on the Klamath river and Lower Klamath Lake, and also a gissl new steam boat and smaller craft >>n the l pper Klamath Lake. The elevation is 4»l.*'»> feet. The »alley There is a lieautiful valley extending f.-r several miles to the East and South­ east and South, and other valleys equal­ ly beautiful and victuresqne open out from this one through gaps in the mountains. There are five or six of these vallevs, all near the same eleva­ tion, and all surrounded bv mountain-, most of which are heavily tiniliervd a ith ■ yellow pine, fir and cedar. Most of the valleis are covere.1 with -agebruah. The soil of the sage brush land ia a rich, sandy loam, and usually verv deep. Much of it varying but very- little in api-earance from the surfa.-v to a depth of two to four feet. The Lakes C. STONE F. ATTORNEY AT LAW OFFICE OVER POSTOFFICE Klamath Falls.

Freight delivered to any part of the city. I’pper Klamath latke is a Is-autiful body of water, about 25 to 3W miles lo.ig, with mountains reaching to the shore in many parts of it. From its lower end Link River descends in a su.-i'ession of rapids about a mile and a half, falling a»smt *V> feet in that distance, and flow­ ing into latke Ewauna at the lower part of town. Klamath River Is-gins with l-ake F.wauna and skirts the valley and the mountains to the south and west, l>-aving the vallev at Keno. A channel from the river, some six or eight miles across the vallev to Iaiwer Klamath Lake, connects the two. (twingtothe fart that there is so little current in the Klamath river where it crosses the val­ ley, it is sometimes spoken of in con- ' nection witli the lake, and the two ■ ailed Lower Klamath lake. Tule Marsh Lands The lakes are joined in places by tule marshes. These marshes have for cen­ turies been receiving deposits of silt ¡carried to them bv the waters from the mountains, ami have for |s-rhaps cen­ turies lieen posturing immense <-ro|>s of tides, gigantic bull rushes, which grow 6 to 12 feet high and so thick that it is nlni'-t irn|s>«“ible to get through them These decaying each year have added vegetable matter to the silt. These marshes have also for ages ls-en the habitat ot innumerable water fowl, which have added vastly to the richness of the soil. This soil we lielieve to Is­ as rich as there is in the world. U. S. Reclamation and Irrigation The I'nited States government has undertaken to drain these marsh lands, and to irrigate them, together with the sage brush lands, the cost of which is •estimate! to Is- atxiut |1M acres. A husband and wife and each child may own l«0 acres each, and each get a water right to the same, irrespective of the age of the child. Non-resident owners of land cannot get a water right. They must reside within the Ismrids of tins system of irrigation. The water for irrigation is sure, and very abun­ dant. The government contract does not restrict farmers as to the amount of water they may use, as there is more than all can use. Homesteads GRIZZLE BROS KLAMATH FALLS OREGON — There are some homesteads to Is- had in the tt hills, but we know of none now ojien for entry which will come under Government Irrigation. There are several thousand acres of tule marsh land which will Is- ojien for entry when the work of reclamation reaches them, blit they will probably come in by drawing similar to that of the Rosebud Agency in South Dakota. It is also jiioliable that one js-rson will not Is- allowe-l to enter more than HO acres of these lands. The Irrigation Act also provides for no commutation.
