THURSDAY, MAY A, 1905.
Portland plays ball about as
well as Prineville. 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

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.

While a great many men are
coming to Oregon to invest money
in many ways, the greater propor
tion of them in agricultural lands,
some Oregonians are making in
berta province, some in Mexico
ana omers tisewnere. incse are
not a very great number all told,
nor is the aggregate amount of
their investments abroad very
large, as compared with the
amounts leing invested in Oregon,
but they are sufficient to cause
considerable comment. 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. Journal.
