famous black ware, bound for
Boise, Idaho, where he will at
tend the conference of North
western governors, of which
ftrjranuation he is secretary.
The governor was just a week

tirst part of his journey, he is
taking by easy stages. He went
from Salem to Lebanon, and thn
to SwecthoDie and Foster, fie
spent Friday night at the Hub
city and then rode to Prineviile.
where he tcik dinner ar.d then
struck out for J. E. Roberts'
place, SO miles from here, where
he will speud the night.
The Governor was urged to
prolong his stay here but was
afraid he could not afford the
time. He must cover the distance

pects to visit several irrigation
projects while en route to the cap
ital of Idaho. The Governor is

Tillman Reuter
Wants Exhibits
Tillman Reuter came up from
Portland Monday He has just
one thing on his mind and that
is that Crook connty must be
represented at the land shows
this fall. He is devoting all his
energv to the accomplishment of
that purpose. He is collecting
samples all the time and that is
what he is here for. Dam pies of
ceaf grain shou'd be four or live
roches in diameter, with heads of
noiform length. Tais is very
important, he says. The straw
sboold be full length, but the
roots are not necessary. All
leaves should be removed.
Po not lie The bundle too tightly
as it mashes the- straw. These
samples will be used at Alberta,
Canada; St. Paul, Chicago and
Portland, so be careful and write j
your name plainly on each pack
age, as well as the variety, staling
what method grown, irrigation,
r dry farming, etc. This wili
help wonderfully in the work of
classification.

Hampton Valley
Has Good Crops
" The Hampton Valley, in the
southeastern part of Crook
County, will have record break
ing crops this year," said Sher
man Montgomery. Uuited States
Commissioner at Imperial, Or.
Mr. Montgomery is in Portland
on a short busiuess trip, says the
Oregonian.
"The farmers who are cultivat
ing their.lands according to ap
proved dry farming method
have excellent crop?, and while
the amount of acreage in culti
vation is small on account of lack
of adequate transportation facil
ities for shipping products, they
are greatly encouraged by the
building of the joint railroads
down the Malheur Canyon iuto
Harney County and down through
the Hampton Valley. They be
lieve that this roud will be com
pleted before the harvesting of
another crop and, hence, are
preparing to put in a large
amcunt of acreage next year.
"Wheat, barley, rye and oats
do exceptionally well. With rail
road transpcrtation there is no
doubt that this valley will become
one of the mof-t prosperous wheat
belts in Central Oregon.
"Many homeseekers are taking
advantage of the offer nade by
the Hampton Valley Development
Association to locate desirable
families free of any charge what
ever. In spite of opposition
from persons engaged in the
homestead locating business for
profit, the association will con
tinue to give the poor man a
chance by locating him free of
charge. No part of Central Ore
gon offers the homeseeker so
many advantages as does the
territory tributary to Imperial.
To the south and west, within
ten miles of Imperial, lies 150,000
acres as good sagebrush and
bunchgrass land as can be fonnd
in the state. This land is open
to entry ia 320 acre homesteads
and is free from rock and is
easly cleared. Water is found at
a shallow depth.
'While homesteading is us
ually accompanied by many hard
ships and privations, this is not
the case with those who settle in
Hampton Valley. Here we have

Sale of Red Cross ,
Stamps at the Lyric

Awakening of John Bond." It will
be shown at the Lyric Friday and
Saturday evening. The principal
object is to disseminate information
as to what becomes of the money
that is received from the sale of
Rod Cross stamps at holiday time.
Incidentally it teaches a lesson to
selfish property-owners who neglect
everything about their tenement
properties except the collection of
rents. John Bond was such a man.
He didn't care how many unfor
tunate souls lived and died of dread
consumption; all he wanted was
rent, until one day his selfishness
was brought directly home to him
and he began to see things In a dif-j
