In the first place, it was pointed out that the rcservo had not been fenced by tho government, and a Colorado law provided that no person should recover damages for trespass unless tho land in question was fenced. Therefore Light pointed to this law as bar ring tho government from re lief. The government retorted that the fence law applied only to individuals and not to the state of Colorado or to the United SUtles, it was argued by the government that the law was un constitunal. One of the sharp issues of the case was centered on this point So widespread was the interest in the case and so vital the ques tions involved that the state of Colorado itself threw itself into the contest Attorney General Barnott was authorized to assist Light in fighting the federal gov ernment Ho did so. The attorney general emphasiz ed the argument before the su premo court that no provision of the constitution empowered the federal government to "conserve the national resources," by pro viding for a continuing Umber supply, regulating the (low of streams and preserving power sites from being monopolized. He urged that tho withdrawal of such large tracts of land, said to be one-fifth of tho entire area of Colorado, was the denial of equa lity with the older states which had been allowed to exercise dominion over all the territory within their boundaries. DRV FARMING- HAYS. Any practical information re garding dry farming is appreciat ed bv manv of our farmers. It is a system that can bo applied with profit in all this section, even though we are finally to se cure irrigation. The Silvies Val ley project is being pushed with rain fell from March 1 until har vest. Ho has two 110-horsepow-er engines, which pull fi7 plows. Ho is thus able to plow from GO to 80 acres a day." It is said that dry farming is advancing throughout tho north west at a romnrknblo rale, and that everywhere- tho fnrmors who aro engaged in that branch of agriculture aro making good on their investments. Records at tho land offices aro said to bIiow that tho numbor of persons who aro taking up dry farm land every year is increas ing at a marvelous rate. Farm oxnorls claim that thoie has beon no Francliof tho science of farming which has seen tho advances within tho past few years that dry farming has. and tho acreage placed under cultiva tion by those engaging in dry farming is said to have increased by about four-fold in all western states. In some of tho states of the far east dry farming methods have beon introduced, and every where they are Baid to have ic Bulted in great improvement to tho country. onSERVH MEMORIAL DAY.

Mr. Web Bter has about 4800 acres, nearly all of which was under cultiva tion last year. More than 2000 acres were put in grain, and from this he raised 70,000 bushels.

Don't let the weeds get a start -kill 'em while they are a horning. Easiest way. Too often the extravagant who start out in tho parlor-car come back in tho freight. When you boo corn, thin it out to not more than three good stalks to the hill. Nature doesn't like to bo crowded. It isn't tho mark of a good teamster to get in oir the road late at night, nor to leave tho horses uncurried for two or three days. It is less work to hoo twico soon after the crops como up than it is to hoo onco after tho weeds got high, and it does much more good. Borrowing tools, and sending them home dull or rusty, doesn't mako the other fellow grin. Better save up and buy your own. If you put stones under the posts of your corn house, have them thick enough and largo enough so that the frost will not get below them and break them to pieces. Don't cultivate tho potatoes when out in bloom, or coming out, unless you want a lot of stunted liltlo tubers. Cultivate them before they got that big, and hoo them clean of weeds. -Mny'farm Journal.

Alfred Benjamino clothing at Corvallis, Oregon, April 28, 1!11 Editor of The Times-Herald, Dear Sir: In your issue of The Times-Herald of March 25 1 noticed tho article about Hie h6rso market of Oregon. I hap pened to bo in Portland whon that bunch of drafters fiom the Fast arrived. A few of weX). A. C. Animal husbandry studenls were down there attending the Fat Stock Show. Wo students had full sway at all slock in the yards at that timo so wo got a good look at those "Eastern Bred Horses." I was born and raised in Har ney and Grant Counties (buing a son of J. H. Anderson of Drow sey) and I never saw any horse in that shipment of drafters that was any bettor if as good as somo I have seen on my home rango. Don't misunderstand me and think any bunch of range horses win bo shipped to Portlnnd and sold for $300 a head. Far from it. I am talking of draft horses and a draft horse must weigh at least 1000 pounds. Tho horses in the shipment above mentioned were supposed to average 1750. Wo boys doubt ed this so we stuck around until the boss loft and thon wo joked the jockey about his ponios until ho decided to show us by woigli- ing his largest team This te was supposed to weigh about' 4000 lbs. When they went on tho scales they tipped tho beam at 3300 lbs. or 16T0 lbs. each. Now that is about where your 1900 lbs. horses will weigh in what the market calls feeder condition and that is falter than tho horses shown in the Grant or Harney county fairs. If any horseman in that sec tion has a horse that weighs 1-150 pounds or better in what ho would eitll good working condi tion if ho will just teach him to eat oats and then measure it out to him in a gallon bucket instead of an oyster can ho will soon have a draft horse instead of a fecrub. You may say that the extra fat will do the horse no good and that is true enough, but if you want to hell him remember "A little fat may cover a world of defects." I might mention hero that Mr. G. W. Stubblefield (tho first secretary of tho Perchcron Soci ety of America) shipped 1(5 head of pure bred pcrchcion stallions and mares from tho East and sold them at auction tho other day. The highest prico that any one animal brought was $1000. The horso lint brought that prico was an imported horse and a good one. Ono three year 'old horso sold for$150. Ho was just as good as any of those lino horaea in that county that havo been selling for $3000 to $4000. All of these stallions wero Bound and had pa&scd tho inspec tion of tho Btato votorinarinn and wero eligible to stand under tho now atalljon law. That in more than soino of tho Jiorsou now being stood will bo nblo to do. COMl'TON ANIir.KSON. J V. STEVENS ON IUTURI! 01' RTAIIi John F. Slovens, who retired last Monday iib president of the Hill roads in Oregon, has tho fol lowing in a recent issue of tho Portland Journal bearing upon tho future development of the stale: While tho development of Ore gon depends largely upon the ex tension of transportation facilities there aro other factors entering into tho situation, which must not bo overlooked. With an area of nearly 100,000 squnjo miles and with a population appioxi- maling only G00,000, and this largely consolidated in the city and towns, it is ovident that a denser occupation of agricultural lands musl take place befoic the latent rosoUices of this naturally wealthy Btnto am be drawn upon. It is hardly fair to assume thai the capitalist who find tho money to build rniltonds can bo expect ed to go on indefinitely extend, ing lines into unoccupied space, unless tho results of former ox tenaionBatv such as to justify the continuance of an expansion pollc . To very largo extent transportation companies must depend upon earnings from the carriage of timber and other forait produoU until the raw farming lands opened up by the now linos are settled and im proved. As tho inttrkot ly rail, for tirn- r, as in tho past year is very uncertain, it can bo understood that n certain amount of conser vatism in tho expenditure of capital and in such enterprises is to 1 looked for. Then, too, tho trond of legis lation in roBent years looking to tho regulation - so called-of transportation companies, has been very much a one sided pro position, and until capital can be assured not only by the enact ment in the future of only wise laws, but by tho fair interpreta tion of existing one, it will from, a good buainoM point of view, be naturally timid. All thiB, howovor, does not argue that railroad building is to stop. Tho good souse of the people will assort itself; in fact, a distinct change of feeling on the part of tho public, is already apparent, and most thinking men aro optimistic enough to believo that tiue co-operation of inter ests, as between the public and tho transportation companies, will soon become Ihorule, instead of tho exception. And tho logic of tho situation in Oregon will force an expansion policy, whon harmony and cor rect understanding betweon ship per and carrier shall provail. The great wealth of the coun try like alldthers, lies in its agri cultural lands. Ami no demand is or has for years beon more clamorous than for land and Ore gon has it Take tho Willamolto valley, is noailv 4000 square miles of area, with a line climate, well wooded and watered ami a soil capable of raising to pot faction every vauoty of cereal grass, root crop or fruit, excepting cit rus, known to tho temperate zone This valley will support in com fortable homos, 10 times its pre sent population and tho samo can bo said of tho smaller valleys ovor tho entire state. (Jrauling tho above statements aro oven approximately true, then there is only one conclusion (n lut ilriiwii: Thn need of tho state iB more people, more actual farmers, more producers and for tho present al least, fewer mid- rilninnn. Settle mid dovolon the country and tho cities will take care of themselves. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. (Portland Correspondence.) To form a Central Oregon De velopment League, that shall bo a wheel within a wheel, to work for tho advancement of that par ticular part of -the state, iB tho latest project along publicity lines Secretary C. C. Chapman, of the Oregon Development League, has been at work tho past week formulating plans for such an or ganization and the Prineville Commercial Club will probably issue a call soon for a conference of the commercial bodies of Cen tral Oregon on the subject. It is expected that Madras, Melolius, Kedmond, Bend, Prine vileo and other Central Oregon cities will unite under one head to work together for tho inter ests they all have in common and that a great deal will be accom plished in settling the vacant lands of the interior. It is hoped to unite various factions by this means and create a brotherhood of activo communities that will mean much for the future of the entire region. May 1, always a notable date m Northwest history, was ob served this year with appropriate exercises at Champocg, upon the historic ground where 08 years niro the foundations of civil gov ernment on tho Pacific Coast were laid. The Oregon Pioneer Association and the Native Sons of Oregon had charge of the ob servance of tho anniversary. Tho cutting of burned cedar poles has become quite an indus try in Coos and Curry counties. List year an experimental order was given for the burned over piling by tho Santa Fo. Rail road. The timber was found to be satisfactory and there is a big demand for it. There arc less quantities of burned over cedar in the forests of the Coast coun ties and il has been found still serviceable even 40 years after the trees were killed by fire. A new alignment of good roads foices was made during tho ijast week at a meeting in Portland when steps wero taken to organ ize a statewide good roads asso ciation with county branches. The former Oregon Good Iloads Association was dissolved, after all its affairs" had been wound up. By means of the new organiza tion it is expected to secure co operation throughout Oregon to accomplish its objects. Senti ment for good roads legislation will bo aroused. Klamath Falls is turning its at tention to beautifying tho city and its environments. Efforts will be made to have properly owners plant shade trees and im prove the appearance of the com munity in other ways. Tho west is getting pretty well over its frontier'days and is generally in terested in adding to its attrac tiveness wherever possible. Is there anything in all this world that is of more importance to you than good digestion? Food must bo eaten to sustain life and must bo digested and converted into blood. When the digestion fails tho wholo body suffers. Chamberlain's Tablets are a rational and rcliablo euro for in digestion. They increase tho How of bile, purify tho blood, strengthen the stomach, and tone up tho wholo digestivo apparatus to a natural and healthy action. For sulo by all good dealers.
