HMMANB REMEMBERED BY BAKER FARMERS Construction work started this week on what is to be the most costly and finest residence in the city of Vale The contract was awarded the first of the week by Ed Hamilton of the Al exander Company to Contractors Knowles & Draper, the lowest bid ders, and it is learned that the beau tiful new Hamilton home will cost approximately $3,500. It is being erected on the Nelson addition, just south of the George Mills residence, in one of the best residence sections of the city. According to Contractor Knowles, the Hamilton residence is to be a twelwe room two-story structure with a large cement basement in which will be insalled the furnace for heat ing of the entire house. That it will be the most modern dwelling in the city is evident by the fact that there will be an open fireplace in the liv ing room, large beautiful stairways, roomy halls, bath room, and all mod ern conveniences. It is understood that the inside finish will be especial ly beautiful. Large roomy porches will add much to the outside appear -ence of the two-story cottage which is to be of frame structure type, boardsiding for the first story and shingles for the upper story. PATIENT LAVISH IN PRAISE OF NEW HOSPITAL W. P. Caviness of Ironsides Speaks Most Highly of Treatment at Rosary Hospital, Ontario W. P. Caviness. of Ironside, was a' Vale visitor Wednesday while on his way home from the new Catholic hos pital at Ontario. While talking to a representative of the Enterprise the other day he was lavish in his praise of the treatment received at the Rosa ry Hospital, and said that the sisters were deserving of the patronage of the people of this section and in fact of all the Eastern Oregon country. He went on to state there is a num ber of patients at the new hospital and that all speak very highly of the splendid work the Catholic sisters are doing there. The first patient at the hospital was Mrs. J. E. Turner of Payette who was operated upon for appendicitis by Drs. Avery of Payette, Prinzing and Payne of Ontario. Although the hos pitalis not yet entirley furnished the sisters are now ready to receive any patients who want admission. The "Farley room" fitted up by James Farley is such as to satisfy the most exacting taste. Mrs. Toole of Payette has also bought a complete set of high class goods and will furn ish another room. The hospital has no staff of physicians to take care of the patients, as all sick can have their own doctor to attend upon them NEW TEST FOR LOCATION OF OIL DEPOSITS German Professor Discovers the Temperature Key to Location HOMESTEAD BILL NOW UP TO HOUSE Fate of Amended Measure Depends on Activity of Its Friends in West- Even With Alterations by Fisher. Borah Says Bill Will Help Homesteaders C. D. Hlllman, the mutimillionaire townsite promoter who is now serving SO months' term in the federal pris on on McNeill's Island, has at last been found out and it is now known that he was the San Francisco commis sion merchant who in 181)5 defrauded the farmers of Maker county and Eastern Oregon.

UJ tuluM a nty (LI ttk, Berlin, April 26 A new method of discovering deposits of ores, coal and oil has been found by Professor Jakob Koenigsberger. After taking tests in many bore holes with the most varied local sur roundings, he found that the rate at which the earth's crust grows warm er at lower levels is far from uni form, lie gives the average rate at about sixty-four feet for one degree Fahrenheit, but near a sea coast it requires as much as zou reel in some cases to get one degree higher tem perature. it was round however, that over coal deposits the rate is only forty seven to fifty-five feet. Oil heats the earth still more rapidly causing again of one degree for every fifteen to twenty feet. It is believed that Professor Koe nigsberger's investigations will prove of graat use in prospecting for miner al and oil deposits, since it will be possible to determine by taking the temperature in a borehole aeveral hun dred feet deep whether it is ap proaching valuable deposits; and it will not be necessary to waste large sums of money in boring very deep holes without discovering anything.

This bill passed the Senate without opposition, after several amendments had been adopted at the suggestion of Secretray Fisher. While it is not in as good shape as Senator Borah bad hoped would be, the bill will yet accomplish much good and will enable homesteaders to mortgage the property from five to seven years earlier than is possible under the present law. COLD WEATHER HARD ON YOUNG LAMBS From different parts of the county come meager reports of losses to tho sheepmen on account of the recent cold weather at the time of the lamb ing season. It is understood that Mr. Corrigal, who has been wintering his sheep on the Oxman ranch near Jam eson, lost about 200 lambs during a cold wind storm about 10 days ago. George McKnight, who returned the fore part of the week from his sheep ranch in the Red Butte country, re ports that there was no loss at his place as the snow did not stay on the ground, however, he had heferd that at the Maley ranch, beyond Barren Valley, the snow was 16 inches deep and that 200 lambs were killed in on night. The McConnell Brothers, be tween the McKnight ranch and Skull Springs, are reported to have lost 100 during a single night. More losses are also reported at Wards near the Harper. That the sheep loss in the Steen Mountain country was not as heavy as at first reported is the news that has reached here this week through a correction printed in the Burns Times-Herald. In part that paper says : It was re ported that J. R. Jenkins had 'phoned his brother Tom on Wednesday of last week that he had lost 1200 lambs but Mr. Jenkins called The Times-Herald Tuesday afternoon over the 'phone from his Happy Valley home and said it was a mistake. The fact is Mr. Jenkins was not far enough along in the lambing period to have that num ber of lambs. He says the Iobs has been quite heavy compared to former years, yet it has not been to any such exent as reported. Mr. Jenkins states it has been the worst lambing season he has exper ienced in twenty years on the ranges of Harney County but the weather had changed now for better and the season had not advanced sufficient to make the loss so heavy, a which good weather from now on a good per cent- age of the lambs can be saved. A. B. Azcuenaga, a wealthy flock master of Payette, has just returned from a short trip over in the Jordan valley where he has a large number of sheep. tie reports unprecedented snow fall in April. A snow fully three feet deep came after many of the sheep had been sheared. Azcuenaga lost over 10 per cent of his lambs and a number of ohter had losses exceed ing 40 per cent. One man loBt 500 goats from a small herd. "I never in all my life aaw such a fall of snow in the Jordan valley at this time of year," sid he. The sheep men have had all kinds of difficulties to contend with for the last few years. BIG PROJECTS OF . MALHEUR VALLEY & CLEAN LITERATURE GOOD ADVER1SING SAYS NEDRASKAN It is such letters as the follow ing that prove beyond a doubt the real worth of Vale 'a popular weekly newspaper. Mr. Worth ington, of York, Nebraska, will be remembered by many Vale residents as the Nebraskan who visited here only a few months ago and purchased some proper ty. Here is what he says: "Enclosed T.nd $2 for renewal subscription to your valuable paper "The Malheur Enterprise" which we all enjoy very much.

While on this trip Mr. Davidson who is the president of the Oregon Western Colonization Co., met several representatives of the Kuhns, who were in this city for the purpose of negotiating the irrigation of the great Malheur valley. Judge Hayes of Boise and I. B. Perrine of Twin Falls both spent several days in this section as the representatives of the Kuhn interests and there is every as surance that they may take up the Malheur irrigation project which would water from 100,000 to 150,000 acres of rich land. It is further understood that nego tiations have proceded so far that the Kuhn interests have sent engineers into the Warm Springs country to (rather further data as to the cost of installing an irrigation system and a large reservoir to impoffnd sufficient flood waters to irrigate the vast tract of land surrounding Vale. Large Tract Sold In Harney The Burns Times-Herald in speak ing of the visit of the Easterners says: "W. P. Davidson, president of the Oregon & Western Colonize tion Co., arrived here Monday from St. Paul by way of Vale. He was accompanied by a delegation of capi talists, and the party was met here by four other auto loads brought by way of Prineville by Mr. Stinson, the company representative here. There were 27 in the party and several days were spent looking over the lands of this section with the'result that con racta will be signed for a large acre age in Harney Valley approximating total of at least a township. "The gentleman brought in are cap italists' who represent big sums and who were looking for land to be cut up in smaller tracts. It was a class of people who have the means to de velop the lands and their interests and energy will be felt in that direction 'In the face of discouraging weather conditions, bad roads and the advice of the man who had made a failure of farming and everything else these men saw the great possi biiities or this country and will in vest their money. Davidson Coining Back "Mr. Davidson is greatly encourag ed with the success of this trip and this is shared by the people of this terri tory who are anxious to have capital invested and the country developed "He was non-commital as to the extension of Hill railroad lines into his territory but the activity - of his company, in which W, L. Hill is in terested, would indicate the interest of the Hill lines in the territory. "Some of the party left Tuesday in company with Mr. Stinson and Mr. Morrison, the latter the general sales man of the company, to see portions of the land grant in Cook county Mr. Davidson with two cars went out Thursday toward Prineville with others after looking over this terri tory. The investors will take the train, on reaching the Deschutes, for the east, Mr. Davidson going to Port land and after a short visit there he will return to Central Oregon and will be in Burns again about the first of May." Colonization Plan To Succeed The Easterners arrived in Portland a few days ago and while interviewed by an Oregonian reporter, W. P. Davidson, who is interested with Louis W. Hill, in the big wagon road land grant, said: "Already we are making great strides, and over in Malheur county large tracts have been platted and are being placed under ir rigation. Team work among capital ists and settlers will be what accom plish success, and if things continue to progress as well as they have thus far, and we are able to head off the land speculators who appear to be eager to get a grip upon every colo nist whom we bring into the country, the completion of the great coloniza tion plan in a few years, will be cer tain." "Mr. Davidson declared that the prospects for a successful crop in the eastern portion of the state this year are exceptionally good, owing to the largA amount of rainfall during the past month." Manager Thayne, of the local tele phone company, and Vale'a star base ball player, left on last Sunday on a business trip to Salt Lake. Irwin Troxell, manager of the Studebaker Wagon Co., at Ontario was a Vale visitor yesterday for the purpose of estabishing a branch office here.

Although Ore gon is a small grain growing state rather than a corn growing area, be cause of the cold nights and early fall rains, yet Prof. H. D. Scudder, head of the agronomy department, believel that a great deal may be done or thii crop by breeding a hardier, earlier maturing variety. The corn crop in Oregon undoubted ly will never displace barley as feed for fatening hogs and other stock, yet. it not only has great value for thii purpose, especially where it may be pastured off by pigs without barveet ing ,but is even more valuable u cultivated crop in rotation. No rota tion for the maintenance of soil fertil ity is complete without a crop which will allow the thorough cultivation of the fields not only to rid them of weeds which multiply in smsll grain or hay fields, but also for the excel lent effects upon the physical quail ties of the soil through and frequent stiring. The corn is also valuable u a measure consumer, taking th pl in the rotation in which the barnyard manure may be profitably used. Homestead Located A. B.
