In all the happenings of the day.
Now in the public eye,
And miichly on the public mind
Why living is so high.
The legislatures of the states
The matter, taking up,
Are questioning why it costs so more
To breakfast. dine and sup;
And Congress now, cause of this cost,
Which greater is. past doubt,
And really is not popular.
Is trying to find out
But that's not all we want to know,
In fact, not chiefest thing,
That to our comprehensive view
wed like these powers to bring.
More interested is the mass
In nation. state and town.
Not so much what's sent living up,
AS what will bring it down.

WET 10000 ACRES
IN WARNER VALLEY

Lakeview, Ore.-The Warner Val
ley Land & Irrigation Co., through
the state engineer, has applied foI
the segregation of 10000 acres OF
land, part of which the company
caused to be withdrawn from entry
under the terms of the Carey act last
fall. The addition means much tow
ard the ultimate settlement and re.
clamation of large areas of Lake
county's broad domain.
The company has watershed OF
about 500 square miles, and plans to
take water from a reservoir to be
built at point where Honey creek
leaves the hills of the Warner noun
tains and flows to the Warner chain
Of lakes. The plans of the project
also cover the pumping Of water from
Warner to Flagstaff lake by elec-
tricity supplied from the abundant
power afforded by Honey and Deep
creeks, where immense storage and
power reservoirs will be built. The
land is almost level for many miles,
with sufficient fall to successfully ir-
rigate the tract, while the altitude Is
somewhat lower than in this part of
the county.
This is another step in the direction
OF causing the large cattle companies
that have used Warner valley for a
winter range to sell their holdings to
farmers and fruitgrowers.
