The hoys and the girls of the state are going to deter mine "Who Is Who" in Hardening, farming;, carpentry, cooking, sewing, and in raising chickens, ducks, and pigs. Enthusiasm for this statewide eries of industrial contests is waxing warmer than it has ever been for con testa along athletic lines. The plan is for every superintendent to enlist the support of his teachers in explaining the plan to the children and interesting them in the work, unci to secure the co-operation of commer cial clubs, bankers, and business men in obtaining prizes for their local or county fairs. These county or local premium lists may be made out inde pendently of the fctate list, but in order that children competing at a local or county fair may uli'o be in line for state prizes the locul or country list should include the ar ticles on the state list, which ure : field corn, popcorn sweet com, water melons, muskmelons, pumpkins, quashes, potatoes, cabbage, grain elections, bird houses, piece of fur niture, mechanical toy, labor saving device for home, bread, canned fruits jelly mending, darning, aprons, dresses, asters, swectpeas, chickens, ducks, and pigs. A bulletin of information an 1 instruction, including the state pr re list, will soon be sent out to the chool children, one for every home. All the boys and the girls now need to do la to go to work. If they want to compete in garden ing they should at once secure a plot of ground, which they may have plowed. If boys expect to w in prizes in woodwork they should begin prac ticing with their tool. If girls wish to carry off laurels in rooking and sewing they must begin early either at school or at home. If it is the poultry contest that lures, mot settings of eggs should be secured from breeders of pure .trains of chicken or ducks. ' Or if hog rais ing seems most attractive the compe titor should secure a IhoroughhrtHl pig and start to feeding ami caring for it.

We hope to make it posible to have water on this land in the near future possibly in time for the coming irrigation season. "We absolutely refuse to aid in this undertaking excepting as a de velopment proposition. To the cost of this land is added the expense of ir rigation, a small ultimate fi:r accum ulating interest and what we can in a contingent profit to make certain of covering unseen expenses. The most of this land is to be sold in five and 10-acre tracts, but there will be five 40-Hcre tracts. The terms will be easy; that is, one-tenth down with liberal time in which to pay the bal ance. "The Ontario business men, through their Commercial club, are standing back of this enterprise with their co operation and mora! support. Every detail is under their observation. The classiliying and pricing for the land is to be under the supervision of committee appointed by the Com mercial club, and the disposal of this land and the details connected there with must be as an open book to the public. This plan is an experiment, but so far seems to be working out very nicely. "In our agreeing to assist in this enterprise, we don't wish any one to think for a moment that we Hre par ticularly partial to Ontario. We only happened to receive the first good op portunity at that place to get in and help where circumstances wre favor able. The advertising that will be sent east to help in the sale of this particular body of land will also con tain special advertising with refer ence to every other town within our territory. knigiitIbiplars conferred degrees Red and Black Knights Malta De grees Conferred on Judge Davis at Baker The Knights Templar Monday con ferred the lied and Black and the Knights of Malta degrees on Messrs.

And here is where the third mean ing of the Vancover extension is said to come into play. The Harriman people are rapidly getting their west ern rail properties in a position in both this country and Mexico to meet the radical changes that are to follow the opening of the Panama canal. The Harriman people have already planned to spend $135,000,000 for Ore gon extension. They have also sur veyed for six branch lines in northern California. Should Hill extend his Oregon Trunk line south into California these branch lines will be built to strength en the Southern Pacific agapist tihs new competition. They will also have to be built if Hill enters through this section by the way of the Pittsburg & Gilmore, the P. I. & N. and on through the Malheur canyon to Coos Hay or through the Wesern Pacific to San Francisco. LATEST NEWS FROM BONITA Mrs J. F. Heed was on the sick list the first of the week. Chas.

Goodrich Bros, are about to erect a green house 36x72 completly roof ed with glass. They will also build an addition to their residence as soon as the weather will permit. The new depot was completed last Saturday and the work crew and their cars were taken on to Vale on the afternoon train. It is needless to say that the people here fully appreciate the action of the O. S. L. in giving us the kind of a building they have. However, it seems to be the policy of this line to build only the best as is evidenced by the way they have built depots and in fact all railroad buildings along their branches 83 well as the main line and is quite a con trust to the little chicken coops built by some roads.

The Children will be most interested and no doubt will on returning home gather all of mother's bread nans. roasters, dust pans and other kitchen utensils. In order to complete the engine take down a joint of the stove pipe for a smoke stack, and borrow any large round pans for the big driv ing wheels. Well, for more pointers, see the show display. Humphrey has used nothing but kitchen utensils and it's truly a most realist.c specimen.

CENTRAL LINKED Another transcontinental line is soon to be operated in this country if rumors in railroad and financial cir cles are proved. Wall Street has heard that the Vanderbuilt interests had practically agreed to merge their New York Cen tral with the Chicago & Northwestern for mutual benefits.
