The two teams together might contrive in some way to rig up a summer toboggan slide. With a new $3000 road way nearly completed up the grade, and final arrangements practically made for the reclamation of 40, 000 acres of land in the immediate vicinity, all of which is directly tracebleto a civic organization, it might be remarked that the Citizens' Business League is not altogether a dead letter. Klamath county with its recent slaughter of a band of sheep and the probably killing of the two herders, has furnished the first fuel to the revengeful flames of the so called ' range war." Crook county has been a little slow this year in the matter of making a substantial move for first place, but it is not likely that she will allow the pennant to be placed outside of her territory when the final counting is made at the end of the season. Madras will soon have the dis tinction of having the only rural free mail delivery in Crook county, and it is a distinction she will keep tor several vears to come. This will cause the outside world to open its eyes to the importance of this locality, which is supposed to have only a few straggling set tlers. But a rural free delivery which has to have 100 families on the route within a given number of miles, is least suspected of this vicinity even in many portions of Oregon. Madras has the country surrounding her to made one of . --. 1 -- a..-. Pioneer. - The deed to the land lying south of the High School, which will be converted into a city park this summer, was received the last of the week and placed on record. The deed comes from the Will amette Valley and Cascade Moun tain Wagon Road Company and it has' been obtained only through the tireless efforts of Mr. Elliott. The land in its present condition is easily worth f 2000 and the city generally owes its thanks to Mr. Elliott for the interest he has tak en in the matter and the influence and work in getting the tract as a gift to Prineville. Probably in the future when the city has made all the improvements possible and converted the grounds into an at tractive park, an appreciation of Mr. Elliott's work will be more generally felt than it is at present, although it passes the remark that this community should be and is appreciative of so good a stroke of work. Forty thousand acres of land ly ing in a compact body, all irrigat ed and producing crops, is a mat ter of importance to any county in which such a project is located. Doubly so is the scheme to reclaim the immense aiea lying for the most part north and west of Prine ville, for its effects upon this city and the county generally are al most inestimable. The character of the land itself is such that everv acre can be tilled and hundreds of family given maintenance through me magic agency of irrigation With this area supporting its pro portion of population the immedi ate locality will feel the greatest benefits and Prineville's popula tion will be increased, hand in hand with its business enterprises, to double the present number. The scheme itself is a feasible one throughout and the charcter of land far above that of any other in the county. In fact the project, though comparatively small, has no equal in interior Oregon, and the effects of its successful reclama tion may be readily guessed. May, when the act of the last legis lature regarding the exemption of wages from execution will go into effect. This act amends the law by making one half the earnings of the debtor subject to execution proceedings if the debt be for family expenses. Prior to 1003 all the earnings of a debtor for 30 days next proceeding the service of an attachment, execution or garnishment were exempt if the earnings were needed for the sup port of a family. Under that law men w.th considerable monthly incomes would escape the payment of their debts. The legislature of 1903 amended the law by limiting the amount of earnings to $75, but leaving the law otherwise the same. As there are comparatively few men working for waces who receive over $75 a month, this still i enabled men to avoid debts which they should be compelled to pay, and the legislature of 1005 amend ed the section still further bv add ing this clause: "Except when the debt is incurred for family ex penses furnished within six months of the date of the service of such attachment, execution or garnish ment, 50 per cent of such earnings shall be subject to such attach ment, execution or garnishment." As construed by the courts, the term "family expenses" includes such items as provisions, fuel, rent, furniture, wearing apparel, pianos, organs, jewelry, medical attend ance, etc. Ex. J. I.

It is any one's privilege to go or send his money whithersoever he chooses, yet it is a little strange to see farmers from eastern Oregon, the best-yielding grain country in the United States, moving away up in to Alberta to raise wheat, and others buying with but slight knowledge of the property pur chased coffee lands in Mexico. Some years ago two young Uma tilla county men who had made quite a large amount of money raising wheat sold out and invest ed in an island in the San Joaquin river. They bought a law suit with the island and last year won it, and stuck to the property, valued at more than a quarter of a million dollars, until they played even or more, and then one of them sold out his share and says he will hereafter confine his in vestments to Umatilla and Union counties, where he already has large holdings of farming land He advises young men aid capital ists to stick to that part of Oregon if they want to make money out of agriculture.

Oregon merchants will have a good remedy against many of their bad debtors after the 18th of , total wreck. Tygh Valley Bee. What might have been a seri ous accident occurred on Tygh grade the latter part of last week. While Mr. Amen and wife, of Vic tor, were driving down the grade they met a load of hogs just this side of the watering trough, and in passing one of . Mr. Amen's horses was scared by the squealing of a hog and jumped off the grade. The wagon, horses and a buggy which was trailed behind, all rolled partly down the grade. Fortnate ly neither of the parties were hurt, the only damage being done was to the buggy and a stove. The buggy was left at Hamilton & Pugh's shop for repairs and the stove was left on the hillside a Mrs. Zurcher, nee Miss Edith Howard is well known in this county.
