Phosphate and alum, which are- de rived from mineral sources, are used in som j rowders, instead of cream of tartar, because they are cheaper.

Mr Henley said "The nan: v. i large land holders will have to give way to the ninii with the plow and small band of Battle tun' 001 ha watched the development Of the country and the BfOWi&g BBBFI gOOd farm hinds and for the past few years we have been putting our house in order. We have Improved and dim loped several thousand I acres of our lands that will be offer ed to the home maker Just a soon as he asks for them." Among tho largest holding that will he cut up and suh-dlvided In the large "P" ranch, owned by t in I M bctt and other large tnonled Inter eats and In which Mr. Itanley has always had an active Interest. I his ranch, or rather this group of ranches comprise some of the best ngrl cultural land In centerat Oregon, something over 1:10,000 acres of fine rich loam in one body with am ple water to irrigate the whole tract. Several thousand acres of this land Is being now farmed, yielding i Immense crops of small grain. One can gain some Idea of the magnitude the farm when you consider that a drain ditch 40 miles long Is neces sary to drain the tipper portion of 'the ranch, the water being used to ! Irrigate the lower portions of the tract. Mr. Ilanley's long- cherished dream Is about to be realised, he says "We have always needed more peo ple on tlie land. Our cities are too crowded, we now have an oportun ity, made possible by the coming of the railroad, to furnish homes for a few thousand families, and we are going to do It at a price and In a manner that will permit them to : live anil prosper Central Oregon will produce enough bread and meat In the next ten year to teed a mall nation " Mr. Ilanley, or "BUI", as he Is tumtllarly called, waa on his way to Omaha with a train load of beef, fattened on grain grown on one ot his ranches.

This In th preliminary to tal. Later official figure will un- questionably swell the total. Sibling tlie 12.10,000 K add by the State from the Bill arty tax, It Is certain that I actually expended Hll.L'llil.OtlO for io;oi ami bridge Improvement! din ing the one year. This Is about N per .i il I .i . the highest per capita expenditure of any state of the I'nlon, not .Men ex oeptlng enterprising California, pro gressive Washington and Imperial New York State. About $2,400,000, more than one third, was expended for what mlitht he classed as permanent Improvements-good bridges, grades built on good line, beie-sinr . p.,-ieula Noarly $4,000,000 was expended In maintenance of old macadam and dirt roads, and for Nome new ma cadam and dirt roads. This class of roads Includes nearly nil the road mileage of Oregon, connecting the cities, traversing the rural regions, and reaching Into remote and sparsely-settled farming district While there Is much waste In building these roads, they are the great economic necessity, and are of far more bene fit to the agricultural population than the main highways that are per manently Improved. It Is obvious that the main prob lem for Oregon in road building Is not that of hard-surfacing trunk highways, Important and desirable a that Is, but the roads that enable the farmers to market their crops and permit social Intercourse In farming regions. In the main, the county courts and road sporvlsors are striving for better and more economical methods, and their efforts were reflected last year In that more results per dollar expended were ob tained In tho counties of Oregon than In any year preceding. To the coun ty commissioners and county taxpay ers the credit Is due, nlhough the In fluence of the reorganised state high way department has made Itself felt I M ipfully In all counties where the commissioners availed themselves of ii Oregon Voter. The Malheur Home Telephone Co. The telephone is today the Universal Instru ment, while 30 years ago it was considered a luxury. - Every Home in Malheur county would be benefitted by the installation of a telephone much more than the small rental cost per month. The housewife could save many trips to the store and the farmer could save trips to town during the season of rush work when his time is valuable. Every local phone can be connected with the long distance system, which covers the world Our solicitor would be pleased to talk the matter over with you at any time.

The Ontario boys feel that this victory goes a long way toward get ting even with the Welser team for their defeat In football last fall, es pecially since the basket ball team were composed of the same men that played foot ball. The local team will go to Welser next Friday to play a return game, and with a no defeat record behind Is composed of the same men who chance of another victory. The girls team will also go to Wel ser on that date and expects to get even with the Idahoans ROflOa TO THK IMIH.ir.
