SoNH Of the people cf Silver Lake
in Eastern Oregon, are agisating
the subject Of draining Silver lake
and reclaiming all the land that
now lies in the lake bed, says the
Lakeview Examiner. They have
the advantage Of knowing what
kind Of land this would make be-
cause the lake went dry in 1898
and they got a good look Mt it.
1t is said to be a feasible scheme
as the cha mel of Silver creee tthe
lakes source Of SUPPLY can be
turned around the lake and run
off down on the desert. We are
not advised what would be the
cost Of constructing the canal, but
it would probably open up about
10000 acres Of first class meadow
and farming land, and this would
certainly be worth considerable
effort, as the work could be done
by a contribution of labor without
any outlay Of money.
