C Howlctt When 1 Inst wrote 1 was giving n description of the wny they fnnn out in tho casern p:rl of tho country, nnd got ns far as tho gathering r the weeds and burning them. After the ground is nil gleaned and the weed burned then thev take n double dio harrow, twelve feet long, with eight horses nnd out the soil nil to n fine s-tnte. ntid in some instances they go over it with a twenty-four or thir ty foot smoothing harrow ami then the soil is ready for the feod. Tins 13 sown with n seed sower or drill, from ten to fourteen feet long. Some of the seeders have a disc nltneh ment that thoroughly covers the gain, by having an attachment d nig ging on short chains with rinss that follow in the track of the die, thus finishing up the plowing. It N then ready for the rain nnd snow ami the tnore rain nnd snow the bettor the orop. The soil is of an n-hy color nnd of a volcanic formation, nnd when thev have plenty of ruin and miow the yield Lewis, who is engaged on the farm of Sam Thompson. This fnnn is situated in what is known us the Uuintilhi reservation ami is one of the must productive pails of this pavt of eastern or rather northeastern Oregon. Tho soil is somewhat simi lar to the soil around Pilot Hock but appears to be more, compact and heavier. In tlul section of tho coun try thev serin to, linve moio water, for Sunday inovtiin 1 look iv stroll upon nn elevated plateau so that I could have a .good look nt tho sur rounding country. The farms uppetir more homelike nnd in those parts tho buildings nre generally much hot tin than thev are around Pilot Hock, but fnnn what I could loam tho country out fnnn I'ilot Rock had been takn up by sipinllers wliij were biicd to locate mi the land, thKc a homestead, pre-emption or timber claim and then the land was just kept for specula tion and not cultivated, and the 'far mers claim that the more tho land i cultivated the better it yields. There nre several drawbacks to the country, one of which I have already men tioned, and that is the scarcity of water. 1 don't remember whether 1 mentioned this in my Knglets or in my letters home but will add tint there is but very little water in any tins from twelvcT.lo : of this northeastern, country, and the; my hut In my hnnd nnd keep my over coat buttoned up close and tho dust, Oh.

I SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 4. vide spout the last or the week with Overwhelming defeat for tho Inltla- friends here. tlve measure by which it Is proposed to revive horso racing la California, permitting betting by the pari muluel and auction pool methods, is predic ted bore today at tomorrow's elec tion. Although tho petition seeking the restoration of racing boro more signatures than any other measure reaching the secretary of state, the measure Is certain to be killed by the women's votes. The women vot ers maintain that, should this meas ure be adopted, all the old evils of racetrack betting! would be revived. The racing amendment is further hampered by lack of newspaper sup port. So far as is known "here, the measure Is not being advocated by any daily publication in the state. Evidence, of .fraud Jc. the ..obtaining of signatures to the petition is also said to have worked against Its adoption. ' WOLGAST MEETS I MANDOT TONIGHI NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 4. With everything ready for the ten round battle here tonight between Champion Ad Wolgnst and Joe Man dot, the latter Is in the finest condi tion of bis career for the fray and has been made a favorite; by local admirers. Many good Judges pre dicted today that the title will change, hands tonight, although the bout Is a "no decision affair." Wolgast apparently js not taking the battle seriously and has declared that, -lie Will dispose of Mandot so as to leave no question as to tho winner. The backers of Mandot, however, are offering odds of 3 to 1 that Wolgast will not knock out the New Orleans boy. E. C Faber spent Friday In Ash land.
