FLOCK TO LAKE COUNTY.
Large Number of Men Waiting for Sno,
to Melt In Order to Locate.

~ NASAA AI oAdSA ~ LO$dICs
Timber men continue to arrive at
Lakevjew by every stage and from every
direction, and the Lakeview land Office
is working to it's full capacity. Several
locators with scrip are waiting for the
snow to disappear, SO they can get into
the timber
Silver Lake promises to be the tim
Der cruisers headquarters this year,
and with its two newspapers is expected
to WELD considerable influence in the
affairs of Lake county in the future.
The extension of the railroad from
Shaniko to Deschutes promises to divert
all the trade north of Goose Lake VAL
ley from San Francisco to Portland
and give passengers a shorter and
better route via stage to the railroad
as there is good road at all seasons
of the year from Lakeview to the Des-
chutes, and no mountains to cross.
The season is very backward. No
grass has yet started and sheepmen are
anxious, as the lambing season is at
hand, and there is no grass, and nights
are very cold. Heavy losses have been
sustained in the last two weeks, and if
the weather does not get warmer in a
few days, the losses will be heavier
than ever before.
A few sheepmen have commenced
shearing wethers, but many fear to at
tempt it yet, although it is far past the
usual time to begin.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MARION COUNTY CROPS.

Warm Rain Needed, Otherwise the Out
look is Very Favorable.
Crops in Marion county are in good
condition as general thing, and there
is nothing yet to discourage the farmer.
1t would he better for everything, how
ever, should there be heavy, warm
rain, which would have twc-fold BEN
eficial effect - it would supply the me-
cessary moisture now demanded in
many places, and it would bring the
snow out of the Cascades, thus insur-
ing warm spring weather, which it is
proverbial cannot be had until Table
Rock and the lower ridges of the noun
tains are bare of their white coats.
Fruit is coming on in good shape. the
load of blossoms indicating plentiful
crop, but it is too early to feel safe yet.
The weather most dangerous to fruit in
this country is that which brings the
cold, beating, sleety rains latein April,
when the pollen is in the blossom, to
be washed cut by those rains, leaving
the blossom lifeless for fruitmaking
purposes. There is always good crop.
of fruit when that class of rains comes
before the blossoming is far advanced
or when the warm spring arrives with
out much rain at all.
The hop crop is at that point where
there is merely speculation as to the re-
suits. As usual, much is heard OF mis-:
sing hills. damaged vines, and heavy
shortage in prospect for this year, but
past experience has shown that in many
years when similar predictions were
made, the yield turned out reasonably
good.
