This is the statement made by Charles 1 Kiehiirdson of Spokane, j who is at the Oregon hoUd, having just returned from a trip into the lVrchutes country. He broupht with him a roll of grain samples and grassed that nttest bis asser tions regarding the great crop which have l-en raised this year lth in the irrigated and non-irri gated section?. From the former tracts be has oats Mamling nix feet high with bends up to 20 inches in length, 3-ycar-old alfalfa four feot high and red clover four feet, which made three tons to the acre the first cut ting the last of June, Mr. Ilich anlson thinks l'ortland fdiould use its utmost efforts to encourage the building of transportation lines into the district. He paid: COfSTUV OK (IKK AT IH Km MI. IT IKS. "The Deschutes country is a wonder, and with its proximity to Portland 1 do not understand liw so little is kbowaof it and so little intertvt taken of it here. If we had a tract of land of like size and with like possibilities as near Spokane the whole country would go wild over it. , "The Deschutes country today offers the possibilities that were offerd the public when the North ern Pacific wheat lands were being sold at 50 cents to $2 per acre, with the exception that the buyer of the railroad lands was taking a long chance an to whether his land would ever prove anything more than sheep range. The country was untried, dry-land farming was not understood as a scientific prop osition, and the buyer was run ning hazards, on his purchase. Hut those same lands are selling and paying big profits' today at $30 to $50 per acre. "The country along the Deschutes on the other hand, is a proven country of wonderful crop yields, even in- its first crops, and far more wonderful possibilities when addi tional cultivation and cropping add the needed nitrogen and other in gredients to heretofore arid lands which have been lying dormant for untold centuries. The transforma tion is already being curried on at a surprising rate. The transforma tion is already being carried on at a surprising rate. The change is so marked since my first visit there last May as to astonish even a westerner who has, seen the de velopment of the bulk of the coun try west of the cornfield fences. MOKK LABOR IS NBK4KD. . "Junipers and sagebrush are be ing uprooted, land cleared and plowed, little patches around the houses are in green crops, which were in the raw on my first visit, older settler? are harvesting and the newer ones clearing their land. Every one is busy and thero is work for an army of men more titan are now in the country. The Deschutes Irrigation & Power company, which is extending its canal system, could use many more men if they were available. "Nearly 300 miles of canals and laterals are completed and the work is ling substantially and Tin:in ently done. The noil is proving a wonderfully good water handler. Last year the Pilot Butte canal, the oldest of th iiyntem and ."0 mi leu long, iihowed only 12 t writ lues in evaporation and seep age. "A man from thefamoun I filari al country in California was there during my stay making an exhaus tive examination for a large party of settlers who will follow should his re mr t prove favorable. After their disastrous exrience with the Colorado river this man certainly was from Missouri on matters jrer tainihg to substantial ditch con struciton, and he was more than pleased with the work leing done in Crook county. ''In fact, the whole country is enlhusisastic over the results so far attained and is a unit in supsrt of the co;npany whose policy seems to have been a broad and lib eral one. I have leen in many irrigated counties where there was constant complaint and bickering at the jiolicy pursued by the com pany at work, but throughout the Deschutes district the settlers se uniformly hack ol the company and its efforts. It is an inspiration to a chance visitors to see the gen eral optimism, hustle and earnest work to a common end the devel opment of a wonderful new coun try. One would have thought he was in a hornet's nest down there the first of the week when one of your Portland pajiera came out with a sensational attack -on the company and it jiolicy. "Every rancher w ho ctme into town condemned the endeavors of a metropolitan pajier to hamper and retard the development of the district. There was a delightfully frank end vigorous use of Anglo Saxon in opposition to this course. Von will not have to keep your ear to the ground to hear from the Deschutes country in the near fu ture. It is a wonder and your Portland people should be more in evidence in its development." Letter from Summit Prairie. Summit, Prairie, Aug. 8 Haying is in full blast on the Prairie at this date. There are at present five crews at work with some twelve to twenty men in each crew according to the hupply of men offering to work. Haying com menced right after the Fourth of July and will lie continued at least another mouth. Most of the hay is put up under great sheds framed up on huge timbers hewn out of trees. It is well braced and roold over. Modern labor-saving devices are used in handling the hay. Low wheeled wagons with framed racks are used for hauling purjmses. Four nets are spread in each wagon and when loaded with hay the wagon is driven tt one of thfrsheds or stacks where a cable is hooked into a ring at each corner of the net and then net and hay is hauled up and guided wherever wanted. A trip-rope oiiens the net from the under side and tho hay is dumped in a twinkling. Such methods of storing are necessary where such great quantities are gathered. To give you some idea of the business done here will cite the case of the Prineville Land Com pany. This company alone have neorly eleven hundred head of cattle and all are kept under fence at all times, f'our hundred head are beef cattle ar.d will be sent to Portland market during the winter months. This stock if fed around the immense bams and stacks on the ranch. J. C. Steam Fittings Just Received. We have just received n line of Steam fittinjis such as the Celebrat ed Jenkins Bros.

The premium list of the Crook County Fair to lie held in Prine ville Octolier 15-1!), has been print ed and is now ready for distribu tion. In fact many copies have been gent out and many hundreds more will follow in a few days. If anvone is overlooked just drop a line to T.H. Lafollette, the presi dent of the association, or Duncan Macleod, the secretary, and a copy will lie sent you. A comparison of the premiums offered this year with last shows a material increase, both in the size of the premium and in the number offered. It is now up to the people of Crook County to make the fair the liest ever. The at-tociation has done and is doing all it can for the success of this local instituttotfr It is not a money making scheme, neither is it run for any individual's benefit, but for the good of the peo ple of this county. It is the liest kind of an advertisement. The products of the soil and the range are there to speak for themselves. You take nothing for granted. Then, again, the educational ad vantages it will afford our people must not lie overlooked. The farm er and stockman can compare notes, and taik over methods and processes to their mutual benefit. Let all unite in making the VM fair in Crook County the best yet. BIU I'UKSKS FOR RACES. Another feature of the fair that is better than ever is the racing program. Over sixteen hundred dollars will be hung up in pur ses. Mr. Wurzweiler is chairman of the committee having this matter in hand, and his assur ance of a square deal for everybody is a sufficient guarantee to the pub lic of what they may expect. The racing program is as follows: FIRST DAY OCTOBER 15. Three-eighth mile dash, free for all $125. Five-eighth mile dash, free for all $150. SEt'ONO DAYOCTOBER If).

Entrance fees ten per cent of purse Money to be divided as follows: 70 per cent to the first horse and d0 per cent to the second horse.

No money paid without a contest. summer normal DOES GOOD WORK A veiy sticcesful summer norm al and institute closed its labors Tuesday and 'the teachers in at tendance are now busy with ex aminations. I5oth the summer school and the institute have been better attended than ever before and the results attained justify the efforts made by County Superintendent Dinwiddie to have this summer meeting at the Crook County High School be come a tiermanent institution in the school life of the county. Thin effort has cost him no little time. money and hard work. His duties as county uperintendent of schools do not require him to take up this work nor does he get a red cent for it. His time and labor is given simply and solely to raise the ftandard of the countv school. What is said of Mr. Dinwiddie can with equal truth be said of Prof. Ilockenlierry and Mrs. Elkins, instructors of known experience, who have practically given their . time, as the compensation received is in no wise adequate to the ser vice rendered. Because of this sacrifice on the part of the instruc tors our summer normal and in stitute work is self-sustaining. The wisdom of holding this an nual meeting becomes apparent when it is known that teachers are scarce, not only in Crook county, but all over the state, and it be hooves us for our own protection to give as much encouragement to the teacher as possible. The work in the school room is of vast im portance to the commonwealth and anything that will tend to raise the standard of the profession should be energetically promoted. The students and instructors at the summer school have all worked faithfully during the past month and they feel that they have done their best. The instructors have labored incessantly to fit the stu dents for examination and school room work and students have seen and appreciated the effort made to help them and profited thereby. The work done by Prof. L. R. Travers was aLo very thorough and appreciated by the teachers and its effect will be felt through out the county the coming year. Mr. Travers has conducted insti tutes all over this state and Wash ington and thoroughly understands his business. One new feature of the institute was the introduction of practical instruction in music and the way it should Vie taught in the common school. The time will soon come when teachers will be required to give the rudiments of music as re gularly as other branches and the progressive teacher would do well to prepare for the inevitable. Mr. Travers work from beginning to end was such as to be of practi cal benefit and could be applied to every day school work. Good Cropsin Northern Crook. A two days' trip into the north ern part of Crook county, and re ports from all parts of this and adjoining counties, reveal the fact that crop conditions could not be better, with the exception of a few cases in widely separated localities where the wind and hail storm which swept over the country last week did considerable damage. The hail seemed to strike in spots, destroying almost completely fields of grain. In the Blizzard Ridge country several crops were badly damaged as were a number in this vicinity. Otherwise the yield of hay and-grain this year will be above the average. This will be particularly fortunate, if the prog nostications of several weather pro phets prove true, who claim that the coming winter will be early and severe. Antelope Herald.
