Christmas Lake Valley Flag Day Klamath Resorts Popular Tbs Christmas Lake Valley, in which the writer has a homestead, is situated in the northern part of lake county. Il has a length of about titty miles and ia from twelve to eighteen mil«» in width. Its soil i» a volcanic a»h mixed with some »and, and in it« natural state has ’ a generous growth of sagebrush. At present there are about four settlements in the valley, viz the Christmas lake or lake settlement, which has a [»oat office, tailed lake ; Cliff with a puetofflee ; Sinks O' Piter, whose settlers gel their mail at Cliff and Fort Kock settlement. Many new settlers are coming into ths valley this spring and many improve ment» are seen in every »ettleiuent. Quite a large acreage of grain was eown last fall and this spring, but owing to late frosts much of it had to be resee>l«->i. However, much of it was not killed and is looking well, so that a good harvest is expected. I Many from here go to your city for supplies although it is quite a distance to travel. The prospects for a railroad through this valley are good. The Harriman «i-t.iu put its last survey through this valley and we learn that cruisers are in the tMell lake limber sei non estimating timber supplies for the new road. With the advent of the railroad into our valley northern lake county will develope rapidly and will »oon till up with bomeeeekers. F. N. W hitmcy , Cliff, lake County, Oregon. Last Sunday. June 14th, was the ISIet anniversary of the adoption by Congress of our national emblem-the Star Singled Hanner. The resolutiou passed by Congress at that lime waa as hdlowa "Resolved That the flag ol the thirteen united states I* thirteen stripee, alternate red and white; that the union lie thirteen «tars, white, on a blue field, representing a new constel lation,'' and, iu many parts of our coun try, June 14th, has come to be recognii- ed as Flag day. Soma people may think that tlags and patriotism are old fashioned. That may l>e true, bat they are both good fashion and new fashion as well. It is estimated that, because of the increased demand, the manufacture of our National fiag has fully quadrupled in the last ten years. Nearly three mil lions of silk flags alone, besides the many millions of the standard wool bunting and cotton flag- are now man- ulactured annually. IVunsylvania leads the states tn the numlier and cost ol tiaga purchased, lull everywhere the American people are more and more inclined to show their high regard fur our government by dis playing our natiouai emblem on all proper occasions. No doubt we of Klamath County are equally patriotic with our neighbora in this ami other states. Let us l>e equal with them in spreading to the breeres ■ >f our grandest mountain height* the ensign of our affections 'Cra’er Lake and other Kinmath re sorts are li.eornirig iptile well known, and a» a re till it 1» expected that a large nun.ln*r >1 tourists will visit the National I’sik thia season.

Mr. Steel la of llm opinion that Im will have a busy season and he will do bis best to get conditions so shaped up that Im can care tor all visitors. Il is already certain that a number nl Eastern capitalists will visit ihv lake this summer, and from all |«<ta ol the Pacific Coast inquiries are living re ceived asking about the tiiuo the season opens. Many |ieople visited the |«rk last year, but at this time the indi cations are that more tourists will uoiue this year than during any proceeding year. The lake has received such ex tensive advertising that it is becoming generally knvwn that the Klamath country is the plsco of retorts. The fact that F. II. Harriman maintains a, resort iu this section ha» resulted in valuable publicity, and w.ll have a ten deucy to Luing many wealthy tourist».
