others who have placed large
orders. A. C. Lucas, proprietor of
the Pilot Butte Inn. at Bend will
experiment this year with orna
mental vines and shruhlK'ry an
order for which he has already
placed.
The above noted are among the
htrgesl orders to be placed with
the nursery companies. Dwight j
Roberts, of Culver, who represents j
the Salem Nursery, stales that in
addition to these larger orders, all
of which have U'en placed with
him, dozens of other settlers have
purchased trees and berry bushes
in smaller quantities, and the pre-
sent year will see a barn storming ;
exploitation of fruit orchards ami
berry patches. Settlers on the
county's newer land all feel confi
dent that the country will prove a
fine fruit section and each appar
ently is anxious to test his confi
dence in the land by purchasing
trees and planting them without
fear of results.
IMPROVE THE LAND
Fair Association Will Make Their
Grounds Pay a Revenue
The Central Oregon Livestock
and Agricultural Association is
making arrangements to sow an
additional 40 "acres in' the fair
grounds to alfalfa this spring.
Last year was the first season that
seed was put into the ground, and
then only a portion of the land in
cluded within the race track was
used. The association had the
hay cut on shares and received the
profits from 50 odd tons , as a
result of the year's work. This
amount would have been greatly
increased hail it not been for the
heavy dust storms which occurred
soon after the seed was put into
the ground, covering the seed too
deep to permit growth.
The association will sow all the
acreage it has this year, the bulk
of which will he put in alfalfa, the
balance in grain. President T. II.
Lafollett said the other day that
mi- ot letting h- trad at the fair
(froundH cultivate anJ in crop an I

jare in the league many Demo

I i 1 l.. . l T. : . l.'i. .1..
is iikeiv
that all of the branch organiza
tions throughout the State will
promptly condemn the attitude of
Mr. II. M. Cake and adopt resolu
tions declaring that his candidacy
puts the Oregon Development lea
gue in a false light and demanding
that he resign.
There is in Portland considerable
dissatisfaction at the course of the
lawyer nnd the indications are
that he has launched a boomerang
that in its rebound will brush him
absolutely from the political field.
Western trook Asks Why.
The following is taken from the
columns of the Laidlaw Chronicle,
the spokesman for a rapidly set
tling Fection of western Crook
county, and is addressed as an
"Open letter to the County Court:"
(icntlemen: The citizens of
western Crook count would be!
pleased to have you say, either
through the columns of the Chron
icle or one of our Crook county ex
changes why the town of Laidlaw
is not permitted to have a County
Road leading to or away from the
town and why the petitions for a
road have been universally turned
down.
Why the county road from Prine
ville to Cline Falls and beyond
was turned down.
In fact why have all of the
petitions for roads in this section
of the county been unreasonably
delayed or turned down outright.
Why the petition for the incor
poration of Madras has been re
fused and the town prohibited a
towa government.
Why the Laidlaw precinct was
formed to suit your Hon. Body and
not as petitioned for by the resi
dents within the proposed precinct,
thus compelling many who are
residents near Laidlaw to go to
other precincts to vote and also to
register.
Your Hon. Body should know
that western Crook county is
rapidly being developed and that
the people need roads, bridges and
incorporated towns.
Our citizens only wish to under
stand the conlitions and ask you
to give public explanation so that
the people may let the blame rest
where it belongs.
Our columns are open to you to
make answer to these puestions.

RACE IS INTERESTING
Western Crook Will Probably
Pull Hard For One Or
Two Jobs
Candidates for the county o tikes
are still persistent in getting into
the race for the nomination at the
primaries ' April "JO. The past
week has added a few more names
to the list, one to the Democratic
side of the sheriff's menu card and
one more to the list of candidates
for the republican nomination to
the oflice of county clerk. The
race for county commissioner and
covnty treasurer is headed by one
candidate for each nomination.
The jobs evidently are not of the
fetching order, and the coroner's
is a dead one, sure enough. No
one as yet has signified a willing
ness to sacrifice himself to the
position or evert hinted that his
inclinations are in that direction.
Out in the western part ot the
county it is stated that the voters
in Black ButU precinct will put
Irvin Personam the race for county
commissioner, but up to today the
county clerk had not received his
jietition for filing.
It is not probable that there will
be any more candidates spring up
for nomination to either the clerk's
or sheriff's office, unless.it ta on
an independent ticket after the
primaries. Some of those already
on the list may withdraw tafore
the test case is decided the middle
of April. A few days over a month
more and all petitions for nomi
nation to county offices must ta
in the hands of the county clerk.
The law fixes the date, the last
day taing April 4.
Western Crook county, a section
for all politicians to figure on with
both eyes open, will probably train
its guns on one if not two of the
offices to be filled in June. The
fire works exploded at Redmond
last Saturday evening indicate
that an effort will be make to cut
out a road leading into the court
house.
Below is given a completed list of
those who are seeking popular
favor:

IS STILL A PROBLEM
Leasing of Range to Stockmen Is
Being Fought Hard
4The range leasing ' problem,
which at present is of vital in
terest not only to stockmen in
Crook county but to those through
out all the stock states, still re
mains a difficult nut for Congress
to crack. There is opposition to it,
and the Eastern idea that the ac
quisition of more than 160 acres
of land is ''land grabbing" is being
brought strongly to the front.
Since the Public Land Commis
sion reported in favor of leasing
that part of the public domain
adapted to range purposes, the
policy is regarded as having Ad
ministration backing. President
RioseVelt's reference to the subject
in his message was the last en
dorsement, which was expected to
force the question this Congress.
As the first session Tlraw toward
i Ms close, there seems no room for
range-leasing before the summer
adjournment. The next session
will be short, and unless the
administration presses urgently
for consideration of this measure,
or pro-leaning interests erform
the same service, it is hardly pro
bably that the short term will
create the law that is bound to
have broad influence Usn the en
tire West.
In whatever is done, there are
sure to ta provisions that will
facilitate the homesteader. Some
advocates of leasing believe that
the homestead entryrnan should
have the ' 'ht to enter upon land
during the term of even an annual
lease, after proving his tana fide
home purprwe. Others are in
clined to think that settlement of
the country will ta amply safe
guarded by providing that tne
homestead "entryrnan shall ta
given access to the land only after
expiration of a range lease. Cham
pions of the small stockman will
also insist that an entryrnan tak
ing range land, shall ta insured a
good range acreage about his
homestead, which others cannot
lease. The range homestead has
been suggested as a law that would
encourage the cattle industry at
leant, if not the sheep, and recog'
nize the semi-arid condition of the
country. This suggestion is to let
a man take a large range acreage
as a single homestead, the limit
taing such probable yield of forage
as the average agricultural home
stead yields.
Crook County Cattle Sold.
Two hundred and fifty head of
three and four-year-old steers, be
longing to Bidwell Cram of Trout
Creek, said to ta the finest hay
led range stock which has left the
county in years, were sold to
Henry Phirman of the Union
Meat Company last week. Deliv
ery will be made next week at
Shaniko. W. H. Kinder, who re
turned from the railroad with
Henry Cram ysesterday where they
had delivered a bunch of the
iatter's taef, said Mr. Cram's cat
tle were in the best condition of
any he had seen in -years. Every
head was, in prime shape, and the
bunch will make ' an excellent
showing when they reach Shaniko.
The price paid was $4.25.
E. S. Dobbs sold 75 head of cat
tle to Mr. Phirman while the lat
ter was here a week ago. Delivery
will ,ta made at Shaniko this
month. The stock brought 14
per hundred. E. T. Slayton also
sold to Mr. Phirman, disposing of
200 head at slightly increased
prices.
Ditch Is Nearing Completion.
The Ochoco Irrigating company,
which began the work of enlarg
ingand extending the old .Pringle
ditch north of the city last Decem
ber, has completed its work down
to the David Templeton ranch,
some four miles from, the head
gates. This completes the ditch
about half its total distance! the
remaining four miles to he com
pleted inside of a few weeks.
Everything will he in readiness
or the spring irrigating, an a con
siderable amount of new land will
ta opened up under the canal and
laterals which will be run fyom it.
The main canal will traverse a
territory containing exceptignally
fertile' and productive land, the
objection being that a large portion
of it is owned by the Wagon Road
company which refuses to sell as
has been its practice, since it first
gained its grant of lands through
this state.
Sick Headache.
This distressing ailment results from
a disordered condition of the stomach.
All that is needed to effect a cure is a
dose or t wo of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets. In fact, the attack
may be warded off, or greatly lessened
n severity, by taking a dose of these.
Tablets as soon as the first symptom of
an attack appears. Sold by l. P.
AdiiHisou.
