We Carry the Largest Line of Building Material between Baker City and Boise FRUIT INDUSTRY THIS SECTION Continued from Page 1. the Snake river valley within n rad ius of 60 miles of Ontario, there are 70.000 acres of orchards, which In cludes both the Oregon and Idaho Sides of the river, while the unculti vated Isrnl will total far Into the hundreds of thousands of acres. Naturally, the section of the fruit growing districts that can produce the quantity as well as quality will be the one where the buyers In search of not airloads, but tralnloa 1s of apples, will come. The question of overproduction will not be a bug bear when this region begins the mar keting of fruit in aurh iiiiHiititles. The large markets will be of easier pecess than toduy. The old world will be a large consumer of the fruit that Is grown In the northwest and with th new railroad through to the coast this locality will be In easy reach of the ocean freight carriers which will transport cargoes at much less cost than rail shipments either west or south. It has been stated by many promi nent people who have lived In what are termed today the real fruit sec tions, that apples iir more highly culm i (1, i i line s iimi e Hi m ni)d vine I inducts much luprloi to those grown In the I i i mi.

Thomas Shaw, says the fol lowing about Ontario, Oregon ; Wrltim from St. Paul, December 28th, 1910, Prof- Shaw says:"I saw fruit orchards at Ontario which netted $1 000 per acre in appleH the past sea . i, For producing apples and var ious other fruits. I regard the country around Ontario as fully equal if not Indeed superior to the Wenatchee and Hood Rlvei regions and the area that i-iii thus be devoted to fruit around intario l everftl time.' greater than In iho localities named."

Malheur county, Oregon, produces more sheep and wool than any county of any state In the union Malheur county Is actively engaged In divert ing the wasting waters upon us arm plains, and transforming deserts Into gardens and fields. It Is at present the scene of great railroad construc tion. In ell. It Is safe to say.lta devel opment Is now more active, Intense and certain than any spot In this na tion With this granted and In the light of all past history, whst will be come of the sheep T sheepmen Are Pleneera. The flocks have been the pioneers of all civilisation. Their golden hoof has loft an Imprint that may be trac ed from the very gstes of Bden: across the star-lit plains of (Tialdon; over the hills of Palestine; westward across the continents, until they have belted the globe Always moving be fore the plow, and giving way to agri culture It le Malheur county how ever, that will give to this hletoiv of .ivIIUatlon l" " reversion, for abreast of the turning of en empire to agriculture, the flocks me to ni ''''.lion, why this can be Is fn.m . pcuiia, tapogrephT.

The foreign woolen product, is sub ject to wide fluctattons and apparent ty le not keeping pace with the worlds demands. Our domestto supply nnd demand, of both wool and meat are getting wider apart as a result of a growing i i 1 1 1 n i.l 1 1 to be fed and clothed, and the turning of pastures i Into fields. Malheur county Is reclaiming for agricultural purposes only what In I the past have been arid and waste ' lands. After all Irrigation projects I now anticipated are complete and to I mi and iiml all Innds urofltiihle for dry farming are appropriated, It Is then we will turn to the development of five million acres of remaining land, and make it yield its greatest possible wealth, for animal Industry will be the future safe-guard against over production, and congestion of agricultural products.
