Teacher's Examinations. Toe Land of Promise. Away over in noulh-central Ore gon, in southern Crook and north ern Lake, for instance-is a good lnce for a poor, stout young man who wants to get a piece of land or a home, to go. Land there is tpcheap; much can yet be homestead- ed and thus obtained for practical ly nothing. A large portion of it is not derert land, as has been Rep osed. Tens of thousands of acre that have been considered desert a nds will produce crops, and a few years hence, with careful, proper treatment, will be producing fairly good crops and will be worth 120 an acre and upwards. We speak of dry, non-irrigable landa. Irri gated lands will be far more valu able, but will cxt more. Those who go first into that very sparsely settled region will have the best chances. They should se lect a tract if possible where they can obtain water at a moderate depth, dig a well or make them selves pretty sure that water can be found, and the rest is easy. No, there will lie hard work, and some deprivations; but up there is the making of many prosperous homes, on land now unoccupied except by ivestock. Railroads are bound to come, and many other settlers, and thousands of farms will be develop ed on those now vacant plains. A young man with a team and wagon and, say 1 100, can co into that country now and by diligent, ntelligent work in a few years can have a farm worth anywhere from 12000 to 110,000. Some young men can do better, but many do worse- work for wages, save nothing, and grow old without a home or prop- perty. There will be great develop' ment in that country during the next few vears.

Saturday last was Sweet Pea Day at Adamson's drugi-tore. The dis play was the best held so far by the members of the Civic Birgade. This common garden annual has within recent years been brought to a high degree of development as was shown by the exhibit. For fragrance and beauty the sweet pea is the queen of the garden. Van Brink took first prize with some twenty-one different varieties Edith King second prize and Agnes Elliott third. Although there is no scale of points to aid judges in their de cision, the size of blossoms, color, form, substance, number of bios soms on stem and size of stem are the essentials in forming a conclu sion. Mrs. Pearl Kaylor and Miss Iva Booth "had charge of the exhibit. The judges were Mrs. L. Hodges, Mrs. Cyrus and A. H. Kennedy. L 4 P. Co. Suspicion. Under According to Sunday's Oregonian there is trouble ahead for the Des chutes Irrigation & Power Co. Tbia cornea as a matter of aurprise to the people of this country. The new contract with the State Land Board, so far as we have been able to learn, was satisfactory. The raise in price for the land being offset by more favorable terms in other directions. Under the old contract the expense of construct- ng the irrigation system was se cured by a lien upon the land amounting to an average ot,$10 an acre. If a settler wanted to buy the land he must pay off the lien. The lien waa apportioned accord- ng to the amount of land in each 40 acres that could be irrigated and according to the quality of soil, so the price ranged from 12.50 to $17.60. The reclamation company was to maintain the canal system perpetually and have the right to collect from the water users $1 an acre a year for each irrigable acre. The new contract fixes the lien at able to reclaim the land in Kla math for less than $40 an acre. It is anwered that the government alwaya spends more on irrigation works than private companies, largely because aiming at greater permanency. "Vast land grabs have been made in Oregon in the past by five wagon road companies and three railroads which secured free gifts of the pub lic domain. In not one case did the grantees keep faith with the government. They all used the land for their own enrichment, re gardless of their pledges to the government. The most cons pica ous of them is the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad Company, which obtained 6,000,000 acres, agreeing to sell it to actual settlers at $2.50 an acre. Ever since it has denied the right to settlers to buy at that price and now refuse to sell 3,000, 000 acres remaining of the grant. It is now charged that similar tactics have been adopted by the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co. to makes the most of the land con signments to its trusteeship. Turkey Red Wneat a Success. A dispatch from Walla Walla says that the raising of Turkey red is somewhat new in that section. $40 an acre for irrigable land and but it j8 Mieyed to the cominK $2.50 for waste land.

They are working east from here to Lake view, and it is said they are a divi sion of the force battling for the large territory in eastern Oregon now without railroad transporta tion. Engineer Journey's arrival, to gether with the announcement that rails have been ordered removed from the Coos Bay road to the Cali fornia & Northwestern railway and work rushed on the latter have awakened a great deal of interest in railroad matters, runner, u is announced that the California & Northeastern will commence shortly on the deep cut jnst north of this city, as this will furnish the material for the fill east of the city. The deeds have been delivered to the Southern Pacific and the money paid over to Abel Ady, George W White and Leo S. Robinson for right of way of six miles over their swamp lands below this city. This is the closing act of what appeared at one time about to become source of trouble and delay. Alto gather, railroad matters seem to be progressing favorably for the peO' pie of this section. Scabby Sheep in Malheur. successor of the two companies- the Deschutes Irrigation & Power CotLpany to raise the charge from an average $10 an acre to an aver age of $25 an acre, thereby more than doubling the cost of reclama tion to settlers and, as alleged, giving into the hand of the irriga tion company a graft of $2,000,000 or thereabouts. "That Secretary Garfield and Commissioner Ballinger heard of this matter when in Oregon is evi dent. The Department of the In terior is reported contemplating an investigation.

Besides, sufficient secu rity does not appear to have been exacted of the company to guaran tee maintenance of the water sys tern until it shall be turned over to the settlers. "The company insists that the new charge is just, because the ori ginal contracts named too low a figure. They aver that cost ot la bor and material has so advanced that it is impossible to complete the projectE at $10 an acre. They cite that the government will be Pendleton. He has been on an inspection tour of Malheur county, found 48,760 head of scabby sheep. He quarantined the whole south end of Malheur county, extending uorth for 70 miles from the south line, excepting a square of 15 miles which he said was free from scab, no sheep ranging there. He stated he found but one band of clean sheep in that whole section of this country. He reported the matter to the government and they have nlaced OenrcrA Dodunn who bns B.

A line placed on the range to keep any sheep from en tering the quarantined section of the state. This section of Oregon is sparsely settled and is owned and controled, it is said, by about 12 or 15 men who have allowed the condition to get worse and worse.
