Agent Gets' Dairy Job; Extension Staff Roger Morse, who has been county agricultural agent nt Baker for sev eral years past has been made dairy specialist for the extension service or the State college to succeed the late N. C. Jamison. Mr- Morse is quite widely known in this county and has many friends who believe that he is well qualified for the posi tion to which he has been appointed. h hns been exceptionally active along the line of the dairy Industry and has been considered an author ity. Tho announcement made through the COrvallis daily reads as follows :' Paul V. Maris, director of the ex tension service, and Professor P. M. Brandt, head of the dairy department at the state college, have announced the appointment of Roger W. Morse. Hoi the past three years county agent in Baker county, to the position of dairy specialise for the extension service to succeed the late N. C. Jamison. This . appointment has been ap proved by the state board of higher education. Jamison, who for sev tral years had been in this position, died a rew months ago from an In fection In his arm. He was a grad uate of the state college. The work done in Baker county among the dairymen by Morse while in the office of county agent Is stressed by Professor Brandt as being some of the best work accomplished in the state. The records show that Hi per cent of the cows in Baker county are ; in dairy Improvement herd associations. The extension officials' say that the; effect of this policy is reflected to some extent in the fact that the average number of cows in the herds supplying the Baker Cooperative as sociation is . 19 cows io the herd. Bovine tuberculosis and contagious abortion are well controlled. Morse is a graduate of Washington State college. He specialized in both animal husbandry and dairy hus bandry while at that institution. He has operated a cow teBttng associa tion in the Pugt-t Sound region and la therefore familiar with the dairy conditions both east and west of the mountains. Professor Brandt's recommenda tion that the position left vacant by Jamison's death be filled by transfer within the extension service, follow ed a complete and thorough canvass of. available men in other states. In commenting upon the appoint ment of Morse to the position of dairy 1 specialist, Mr. Maris said. " Morse will undertake his duties lth a thorough knowledge of con ditions in the state and enjoying the confidence and esteem of hla co workers In the extension service." Morse was for four years county a,'nt in Morrow county and prior to that time served in a similar ca pacity in Wyoming. He served in the world war. holding the rank of cap tain In the Infantry at its ending. He is married and has two children. He will assume his new duties as n as his successor con be named r Bakrr county. suitable "creep" with openings large enough to allow the lambs to pass through and yet small enough to prevent the ewes from going through. This is somttmes difficult to do for a space large enough to let a good big husky lamb with a coat of wool through is usually large enough to let a shorn ewe through also. One of the most satisfactory ways that has been tried thus far at the Experiment station Is to run the entire flock through the dodge gate and separate the ewes and lambs in different lots where they may be fed accordingly. This is not a difficult tusk to do and If the lambs are sep arated each evening ana left in the feed yards all night they can be given a- grain ration night. and-morn-: ing and then turned back and allow ed to graze with their mothers dur ing the day. "Oats make a splendid feed for lambs. They are usually fed In troughs at tho rate of about one eighth of a pound per head per day to start with and then gradually Increased until each lamb is eating from three-fourths to a poundwhich Is divided Into two feeds per day. "Alter the lambs are well started on oats, which by the way need not bL ground, barley may gradually be substituted for them if desired. . . "Lambs grown In this way put on an excellent finish and are usually 'Market Toppers."

Whilo the Oregon Sale Is but four years old, It has all the earmarks of: becoming one of the big ram selling ' i vpiiU in the northwest sheep coun-, try. It Is a fact that wool growers can welt afford to go considerable distances to get their breeding stock nt an auction of this kind for the reason that there Is an assembly of ' nil tho better known breeds offered by breeders with reputations at stake. This Is especially true at the present tlmo when sheep values are down and when there Is a good possibility that, high class rams will be sold at very reasonable prices. It provides nn opportunity for wool growers to buy nt their own prices range or-i stud rams for flock Improvement. The sale will also Include offerings of registered Hampshire and Ram- boulllet ewes. . . i leaving nothing undone to bring returned last week from a year's of the scenic attractions of Perry. HOW THE IMNAHA HAPPENED TO GET PERMANENT NAME A SEASONABLE RECIPE There Is a wealth of Indian legend attached to Eastern Oregon and es pecially this section-of it. There arc fascinating stories, recorded and unrecorded. In last week's Record Chieftain, there was given a story of the Imnaha country how it chanced to get Its name. We pass It on in full to readers of this page. My CtM-lle stublileflclil iYmsnn (This story came through tho writ er's father, M. Stubblcfleld, an early Oregon pioneer of Wallowa and Im naha Valleys, as told by his beloved friend. Capt. A. C. Smith, Indian Scout, and advisor and friend of Chief Joseph, nt the time of the Nok Perce War. Theso valleys were the home of the writer for many years.) In the most northeasterly corner of Oregon Is situated the Imnaha valley. Sheer box walls of granite I rise j like mighty castle steps, tier on tier, their sharp t:ontoinr aoTten ed by the servls, choke cherry, hack berry, sumac nnd chaparral bushes, and the soft shading of mnuve and purple cast by the ever changing .shadows of the brakes. Through the center of tho canyon floor the river roars - und rushes on its wny to Join the Snake. It is n land of summer sun, fer tile bars where fruit nnd winter vegetables are grown to supply the ico bound regions or tne waiiowu It Is' a haven for cattle and sheep men of today for winter range. So it was in the days of tin early Nez Perce chief, perhaps Old Joseph, leader of the Ne, Perce Indians, ie fore the white man came to take his fruitful lands. From the bcauti ful summer home In the Wallowa valley nnd near limpid lake Wal lowa, the chief was wont to. move his band every winter to the lower lands, or "land of many waters," as the Nex Perce called It.

It was time for the Nex Perce to move their fine herds of horses to "the Land of Many Waters." At the time of the coming of Lew is and Clark to Oregon they found tho Ness Perce, people interested in breeding fine horses. True, they wero what we commonly call "ca- j yuse." But they were bred for en- ( durunce. und wore suited to the ( Indians' mode of- living- The chief prided himself In the kindness , t-hown. their animals and so it was j that he selected from his braves tho most capable of all, one Imnuha. for this task.

So at the breuk of dawn Imnuha was to leave with some hundred head of choice stock. With him were two Indians of his own choos ing.

The day was done without event nnd night had set in before the gradual slops led into the mouth of the cunyon. The roar of the river und the smell of Its boiling waters was an invitation to the tired. thirsty animals. They were Hear ing home, they rushed headlong down the long, rocky trail to the water below.
