Oregon TTIntnvlciil 8oei1y 4 VOL. 27. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1910 ELLIS SPEAKS OF CONSERVATION Theory is All Right but Not Properly Administered. Pendleton, Or., July 8. That the East is conservations! was the state ment made this evening by Repre- sentaitve Ellis, who has just returned front Washinaton to spend the Summer at hia home in this city. . "1 Have no fault to find with the conservation theory in itself, if prop erly administered." said Mr. Ellis, 'Bat if the conservation system is to be administered in snch a way that the natural resources of the West are to be bottled up indefinitely, I am not in favor of it at all. "The bottling ud of the timber land would be a mighty profitable thing for the man owning the timber, but it would be disastrous to the state, since it would retard its devel opment indefinitely. "For that reason I failed to become . as enthusiastic concerning the con servation legislation as the members of Congress from the Eastern states, who seem determined to administer the conservation policy according to their own ideas and without regard to the welfare of the Western states, which are the ones most concerned." Representative Ellis says he is in clined to look with more favor upon the recent coal land legislation. This provides that title to the surfp.oe land may pass to the individuals, while title to the coal lying beneath the surface will be retained by the Govern ment. He expressed himself as particular ly well pleased with Oregon's pros pects for a share ot the $20,000,000 reclamation bond fund. Just before leaving for Oregon he had a confer ence with Presidehr-Taft and Secre tary Eallinger regarding this matter and he was assured by them that Oregon would be given a square deal. This bond issue is to be used in the completion and extension of projects already under way and Ellis feels assured that the extension of the Umatilla project will be ordered. This will mean the reclamation of $00,000 additional acres in Umatilla and Morrow counties. . He regretted his inability to secure the passage of the original reclama tion fund bill, but he said that opposition of tha members of Con gress from the Eastern States was too great to be overcome entirely, even by the assistance of President Taft. He said the expenditures of large sums from the reclamation fund In an effort to locate feasible projects in such states as Kansas and the Dakotas was the source of opposition to the reclamation service measure. In the matters of appropriations. Representative Ellis thinks he has been particularly successful. He secured an appropriation of $1 ,200.000 for the mouth of the Oolubmia River. $175,000 for the improvement of the river from Portland to "Astoria, and $600,000 for Oelilo. He says the sums are all that can possibly bensed until time for the passage of another river and harbor bill, while every project in the second district, which was re ported favorably by the Army engi neera, was given an appropriation. With the appropriation for the pur chase of a site at The Dalles, Reore sentative Ellis has now made provi sion for a Federal building in every city in his district that is large enougii to fill the requirements of the depart ment. Ellis in company with his wife and son arrived home last night and will spend the greater part of the Summer in this city. He wi'l be joined by his private secretary in a few days. and will then undertake to dispose of a great amount of work which he has on hand lor the summer. ie nas made no plans to visit Portland soon FARMING PAYS IN MORROW COUNTY Grain Prices Going up.

Mr Buschke was in town Mon day. He is one of our biggest farmers. Out on Rhea creek, on the Jim Rhea place. Mr. Buschke has 2300 acres of fall wheat and the well filled yellow heads now ready for the combine. Iu the plowing, seeding and growing or this great body of wheat, not one dollar has been paid out for hired help. In the harvesting, threshing, and hauling to the warehouse not another dol lar will be paid out for hired help. This sounds etrange, but it is true. Mr Bnschke and his six sods will attend to every detail of this Work, while Mrs Buschke, the good housewife and her six daugh ters will have no trouble in taking care of that very important part of the work. Mr Buschke is certainly king o his own plantation. He owns his horses and has plenty of them, He owns a combine and all tb other Decessary machinery to carry on the work of farming on a large scale. If it were necessary to hire this crop harvested, at the ruling price of $2 00 per acre, this would mean a chunk of $4,600.00 out of the baok account. All that Mr Buschke will be compelled to bay will be sacks Fifty-five long days to harvest bis own crop ia task that now con t routs Mr. UQsctite and nis six sons. 1 hen comes the hauling to market Mr Buschke estimates that his wheat will average 11 bushels to the aore. He has already been offered 70 cents per bushel on contract That will represent a check not to be ashamed of when the crop is sold, And that check will belong to the Buschke family. Mr Buschke is pretty well satis fied witk the outlook of farming in Morrow county. He informs the Gazette that crop prospects in the lone wheat belt are fully as good if not better than in 1907. In Bowing this year Mr. Busch ke tried four varieties of wheat in order to test the merits of the different kinds. The varieties sown were: Blue stem, club, 40 fold and turkey red. Of the dif ferent varieties, the turkey red hows a decided advantage.

Praotically no rain in sections of the Spring wheat country, which has been suffering from the Jong-continued drouth, waa re 8ponsitiJe for a general advance in grain prices in all North American markets this week. In Chicago. July wheat rained 8J cents for the week September was cents higher, and Deoeanber advanced 5 cents. An onuiual speculative situation developed in the Northwest as a result of thelonj? dry anell there. Country buying was so fist and furious' at times that it carried big speculators off their feet. Shorts among the latter were oomnelled to capitulate. PI 3 xnose coverea quite generally, as was shown in the big. advance in the new croD futures there. De8Dite incentives for a big market in Chicago, a reverse was seen. At times the big pit was absolutely dull. The speculative public contiguous to this market, unlike that in the North west, was Blow to follow such an im portant aivance in values, and the result was that Northwestern markets led Chicago throughout the wee. Information from responsible North western sources indicated that crop losses bordered on a calamity. Ad vancevs in wheat values in the North west anda decline in values of stocks of railroads operating in that seotion gave color to serious reports from big trade sources. ruiiunaieiy Iailt waa tempered a ttle by the comparatively low tem peratures prevailing in the drought district and by rerjorts of occasional scattered showers. Southwestern wheat values were affected by gains in the Northwest. It was the im pression that North wesern millers would reinforce their home supply by larger purchases than usual of Southwestern hard Winter wheat Many people in the trado believe that, owing to the serious damage to Spring, -rfhaat, (his country will have to import wheat for domestic use because of the stortage. Others. who do not believe that the crop has suffered a calamity, confirm this belief, but importation will be forced, tniy declare, because speculative sentiment will advance values to important level.

Washington. July 7. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger left Washington today for a trio of inspection west ward, which may cover a period of several months. He was accompanied by-. C. Finney, assistant to the Secretary, and a stenographer. Mr. Ballinger's itinerary includes visits to Fort Belknap and Black foot Indian reservations, in Montana, and probably to the Flathead Reservation in the same state. He will inspect irrigation projects on these reserva tions. After visiting the agencies he-will go to Ssattlo and from there will make several trips to reclamation projects to inspect conditions. The Board of Army Engineers designated to examine the reclamation projects and advise ucon the expendi ture of the $20,000,000 issu of certifi cates of indebtedness probably will take up its duties some time prior to August 1. The board will expedite ts field work as much as possible and will be ready to report to the Presi dent early in the Fall. First Assistant Secretary Pierce will act as Secretary of the Interior during the absence of Mr. Ballinger. lit The Making of Moving Pictures. Perhaps von have seen moving pictures of trains which were so real that vou almost feared you would be run over. Do you know why these pictures looked so real ? The moving-picture camera has in it a long ribbon-like film about three inohes wide and several huudrod fet long. This is.-of course, rolfe I around a snool inside the camera. A the nictures are taken a part of tie film leaves the spool, passes behind the leua. then rolls upon a second spool, while another part of the film is moving into position to r-sccive a picture. The moving of the film together with the opening and closing of the shutter of ihs camera, is all done fay the winding of a little wheel. S that the pictures may not overlao eack other on(the film, the long roil has perforations which cause jost th proper part of the film to ston bihici the lens jost as the shutter automati cally opens and then closes. S ouickly are the pictures taken that photographs ae made on the film ia a second. Sometimes 5000 sanart pictures will be taken on one film within two or thrae minutes. In order to be developed, tries long rolls of film are fastenad hollow cvlinder, which revolves, diouing th film into a bath of developing solu tion. When the pictures are shows at the picture shows they are wound! from one to another just as raoidly as when thev were taken, so that th actions of the people represented by the DhntograDhs may seem reaL Th reason that the pictures loos, so large, although thev are really very small, is because they are magnified by a lens in the large lantern.
