LAKEVlEW HAS A
BRIGHT FUTURE

An interesting story of Lakeview.
promising little town near the south
eastern Oregon state line comes from
the pen of w H. Bodgett, formerly
IN the barber business here, who
writes:
Lakeyew Is very prosperous and
pretty little town and. in my opinion.
has a bright future. The elevation Is
500 feet. 1t lies In the north ana
east end of Goose Lake valley; has a
population of 500 or more. and bids
fair to be much larger before Nov. ].
1909 think the valley is as good
as claimed with the exception OF
climate, which am confident is colder
than most people imagine. but It's
summers are most enjoyable. The
soil is all that could be expected; on
the cast side of the valley IS rich.
black loan, while on the west 1t is
sandy loam-I think as good as any
place on earth. The valley Is now
owned almost entirely by the Oregon
Valley Land company, they having,
last week, purchased the iO.00O-acre
ranch owned by Herfords and known
as the TT" This land will be put
into 10-acre lots, or most OF 1t, Tor the
contract holders OF o. V, l. Co., and
will, no doubt, increase the value OF
contracts 25 per cent The company
now owns practically all the running
water coming into the valley and In
sures water sufficient to irrigate the
entire 10-acre contract holdings OF the
company One dam on Drew's creek
will hold 40,O00-acre feet and the one
on Cottonwood creek 3S,000-acre feet
They are now working on the dams
and say 1000 men will be used within
60 days
The orchards along the lake. on the
east side for probably 80 miles. GER
tainly show that 1t Is fruit country
l think the apples | ate and which
were raised there are as fine and OF
as good flavor as / have ever seen any
place.
Goose lake Is beautiful body OF
fresh water. All streams abound IN
fish. On the lake geese are too num-
erous to mention. The mountains sur
rounding the valley have timber suf-
ficient to last many years.
At present / would not advise any
one To go there as it is too early The
transportation from Reno over the
n c and o narrow guage Is poor and
expensive. but the stage ride is 6U
miles and many times worse. 1t takes
four days TO make the trip in or out.
the fare being SIS so each way. meals
90 cents every place, and beds same
price, and from now on 1 think the
chances are good to sleep in the street
as everything (hotel and sleeping
places, / mean) Is full Lumber is
very scarce. in fact, you cannot get II
at all. or course the saw mills Will
start soon. but one cannot build out
of green lumber. Lime Is yS per bar
REL so you see no plastering Is done
by the poor. Brick S12 per thousand;
wood is $6 to SO per cord, coal, un"
known Potatoes cents Il pound.
sugar IL pounds for 81. In fact, every
thing is out OF sight. and to rent a
business or residence Is out OF the
question. So my advice is: Stay
away for year or two, or course
there will be lots OF work but there
will be many to do it. and many Will
be short financially, and in all prob
ability wages will not be as high as
many would imagine. All business Is
well represented and the older In
habitants are very well fixed imam
cially.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE NOT
SURE CURE FOR CONSUMPTION

Chicago, March 26.-That Chicago
air Is as beneficial to the consump-
tive as that Of Arizona or California
is the belief OF DR.. ]. w. Petit, phy-
sician in charge OF the Ottawa Tent
colony for tubercular patients and he
has so informed the Chicago Medical
society. He says 1t is almost GRIM
inal to send consumptives to western
climates. where usually they are FAR
worse off than they would be at home
with relatives.
DR.. Petit returned recently from a
tour OF inspection OF sanitariums In
Arizona. New Mexico and California.
He says physicians have known Tor
several years that climate alone would
not cure consumption; that sufficient
nourishment and pleasant surround
ings are OF more benefit. but the gen
eral public, he declares, apparently
has not yet learned II.

Major Arrowsmith stated that the
Ogden company is clearly and decided

other company of the Utah guard that
can well be considered competitors
for the first prize, that company being

say that In his judgment 1t Is the best
drilled company In the state.
This makes the fourth time the Og-

COUNTY TREASURER MAKES

Gently made settlement, with the va

The final report makes an exception
ally good showing for Weber county.
The amount included in tax sales. 1908
taxes charged against prior sales,
double and erroneous assessments and
uncollectible items is S11,943.lS. being
considerably less than per cent or
the total amount originally charged to
the treasurer on the 1908 tax rolls,
which was S634, 1881 or this amount
he has paid over moneys as follows;

In addition to this amount a small

The finances OF Weber county arc in
very favorable condition consider
ing the fact that the county commits
sloncrs have had to contend with a
rather heavy floating Indebtedness,
consisting of outstanding county war
rants. This indebtedness Is gradually
being cut down. Treasurer Chambers
has called in and paid all Weber coun.
ty warrants registered up to March l.
1909 This is a far better showing
than has been made for number OF
years. past. and suggests that the
board OF county commissioners has
been careful in the expenditure or the

THE QUESTION TARIFF REVISION

The protective tariff has ever
been one of the rocks in the
foundation bed of the Republican
party and all Republicans who
know anything about the princi-
pies upon which the party IS
built, believe in a protective
tariff and too, many democrats
believe in our system of protect
ing home industries. but that
does not mean tariff so high
that, instead of aiding us. it dis
commodes. The tariff system is
to protect not hinder, the com.
mon people of America. The
revision of the tariff I or duty
charged on many articles is now
the issue before the nation, ard
should be given careful consider
alton. We charge entirely too
much duty on many articles that
come into this country, so much
so that the articles will not come,
and our supply of these parlicu-
lar articles are inadequte there
fore the advanced prices on
many finished products that
should be cheaper-for instance
shoes, the tariff is so high on raw
hides that few If any are import
ed and the supply in this country
is not sufficient. There are sew
eral articles that shodl be freer
