This was a happy conclusion of an atlair that was of vital interest to par ties concerned and seems to . have been settled to the satisfac- ' tion of all. According to the agreement signed the Foley Slough is recog nized as a branch of Silvies River and the natural How is to be al lowed to go through. The farm ers on the slough agree to re move the rock obstruction at their own expense and the Paci fic Live Stock Co. will at its ex pense construct an open box 15 feet wide and a certain depth with necessary wings on each side to prevent the widening of the opening. The farmers were represented by G. A. Rembold and Wm. Miller and they are well pleased with the manner of handling the case; the P. L. S. Co. was represented by Hon. J. L. Rand of Baker, Edward F.

So far as this suit is con pornod and the Darties interested, 'the water rights of tho slough nro settled, but now tho state ad judication comes and hearings are set for the latter part of next month. Many notices have been received from tho board sum moning parties interested in the water of Silvies River and tribu taries to appear and defend their rights. This may make some changes in the manner of hand ling the water. Should this ad judication be satisfactory to all concerned we may then feel that the water litigation of this terri tory has been finally settled, but should there be objections to the findings of the state board there will be more water right suits. The final solution of this con troversy will be an irrigation project that will store all the water in a reservoir and distri bute it as it is needed or in accor dance with the rights of those now having claims that are valid and tho surplus carried out on to the now dry sago brush.

When wo returned from tho Island wo visited tho Ford Auto mohilo Factory whero they put out, I bclioYo a finished car ovcry Afty-fivq. seconds. In tho factory and offlccft -l.BOO people are at work. This was very interest ing to us but wo should havo en joyed it moro if wo hud been able to hear tho explanations of our guide of tho different depart ments of tho work but the big machines made so much noise we could tell very little that ho said. From thoro wo went to tho Factory of tho Burroughs' Adding machine. This wo could under stand better as there was not so much noise of tho heavy ma chines and it was intensely in teresting. That night we left for Buffalo reaching there nt 7:80 the next morning. After being shown to our rooms we took tho train back to Niagra Falls. We went for a two hours rido up the gorge and around the falls. I was a little disappointed in tho falls as I had expected to see them much higher but they were very grand indeed and I thought how much good all that water would do us if it were hero in Harney Valley. The electric lights wo could have and the fields wo could irrigate would be wonderful. After seeing tho falls we visit ed tho plant of the Shredded Wheat Biscuit Co. Hero wo en joyed a fine luncheon. This plant is conducted with the greatest cleanliness. The biscuit never being touched by human hands from the time the wheat goes into tho hopper until it comes out of tho oven in finished bis cuit ready to bo packed and shipped. We returned to Buffalo where we found two automobiles wait ing to convey us to Kast Aurora, the homo of Elbert Hubbard and tho Philistine. After taking suppor at the Roycroft Inn we were shown around tho beautiful grounds and through the print shops, furniture factory and shops where articles of brass, copper and leather are made. We then went into the Auditori um where Mr. Bates gave a short lecture on Oregon illustrated by stercopticon slides which they Boomed to enjoy very much. Seven hundred people arc em ployed there and they all havo an interest in tho work. This was the most beautiful place we yisited on our trip. We returned to Buffalo taking the train at 10:30 for Now York. The next morning wo took a sightseeing car and went through tho Ghetto. The people there spoke every language nnd seemed as thick as bees. Each one try ing to sell tnoir wares, ino noise was so great you could hardly hear yourself think. I thought if they would only come to Harney County wo could give them each work and a homo and belter their condition ns well as our own butof courso that is their home and they havo no idea of our big roomy country. In tho afternoon wo saw tho better parts of tho city, passing tho homes of many millionairs which to mo looked liko big room ing houses but of course they must be fine inside. Wo also visited Grant's tomb. The next day a newspaper lady took us through some of tho largo department stores. I was making somo purchases when the sales lady asked mo if I was ono of tho Oregon girls bIio read about in tho paper. Sho know mo by my picture ond said sho was proud to bo ablo to wait on an Oregon girl. Tho stores aro largo and fine but not better fur nished or conducted than our Portland Htores nnd nothing looked better to mo than Oregon and I told them so. Tho next morning wo were in Washington, I). C As soon hb wo reached there wo took a car and went to seo tho sights of tho city.

It had been the intention and desire of tho club to have those fish distribut ed in several streams in the county but when they arrived it was thought best to liborato them as soon as possible as tho weath er was very warm and they had been brought such a distance it was feared tho loss would bo on tirely too great to take them any distance before being liberated. mako them as uniform as practi Stnto Gamo Warden Finluy jail, nt the same timo giving pro caine in to personally sec tho re-j per protection that tho gamo suit of tho long haul nnd make: may be preserved, observations na to local condi- Mr. Sharp slated in his address tions.

It means better protection of tho gamo and fish, as Mr. Finley impressed all with whom ho talked of tho great benefit of proper protection and tho value of keeping tho gamo from nbsoluto extermination.

OUTSIDE CITIES HELP PORTLAND ENTERTAIN ELKS Community spirit wns demon strated ton remarkable extent by Oregon cities at the recent Elks convention in this city. This wns one of the most noticeable features of the gathering. The various places whero Elks lodges exist mado a surprisingly good showing in tho big Elks parade that opened wide the eyes of Portlandcrs and of visitors. Those who have believed Ore gon to be n state with one city changed their minds when they saw the parade and the long col umn of Elks from the four cor ners of the state sweep along Portland, s streets. The active support of tho state cities made the parade the big success it proved. Tho occasion further proved how much Portland relies on its friends in tho interior in accomplishing any really big thing. Tillman Reuter, who makes grain grow on the semi-arid InndB of Central Oregon where none grew before, docs not want any one to overlook tho forth coming International Dry Farm ing Congress to bo held at Lot- hbridge, Alberta, October 21-2G.

Mr. Chapman, who visited us several times and feels quite at home among our people, gave a very frank talk upon matters locally. He is anx ious that this section be placed in most favorable light on the outside and told us some of tho things ho thought should be im: proved upon. He was particular in tho" roads in this respect as he desires to put Burns on the trans continental route of automobiles tours, therefore wants to recom mend the best roads.

Mr. Frank is equip ped with everything necessary to get accurate and detailed de scription of the territory over which the pathfinder car travels, as he records grade, distance from poinF to point, the eleva tions, curves, branch roads, con dition of the road at every mile , as well as other data. He is so accurate that his work is taken by tourists all over the United States as absolutely dependable. Mr. Beck is to print the blue book for the Portland Auto Club and one of these will be almost indispensible to the tourist. He hopes to know before this map is printed that the bad places be tween here and Bend have been fixed. He will take the matter up with the authorities in Lake county, as that portion is bad. Another feature he would recom mend is tho establishing of mile posts and sign boards.
