The Powell Butte Irrigation dis trict, the Deschutes district and the Oehoco Project will make Crook county the livestock feeding center as well as the geographical centet of the state, and these things will be upon us sooner than many expect. The transportation facilities that are now at hand, feeding advantages and other natural resources, not to overlook the national forests and other ranges, will make thousands of head of excellent livestock possible where a much lesser number of in ferior animals were at one time produced. THK EVOLUTION The winter just giving away to firing has seen more head of live stock wintered in the Powell Butte aoantry than were formerly owned in .many times the area in this part of Jse State. Other districts of greater magni tude are not able to winter the work hortes necessary for their maintain stace. The Bear Creek Butte, for ex ample, would be capable of caring fur three times as many head of liv lock as are now at Powell Butte, hoeld water be applied to the lands Store. The same rule applies to the lands oder the Powell Butte district and asder the Ochoco Project, the last mentioned being this year, for the first time, partially irrigated, while tfce former is yet in a process of de velopment leas advanced. It is becoming more generally rec ognised each year that this is a i stock: country, and the application ml water to the arid lands, the In crease in cumbers of livestock will ring more wealth to the country has ever been dreamed by the WITH THE EXCHANGES Mrs. E. C. Newham and daughter will leave today for Nottingham, Eng land, where they will spend several months with Mrs. Newham's parents. They expect to sail from New York March 24. Hood River Glacier. Wallowa county was the second In the State to raise its quota for the Pacific International Livestock Ex hibition. This fact Is not generally known, but it Is true nevertheless. J. lkibbin received a telegram re cently from O. M. Plummer, President of the Exposition, which stated that the fact that Wallowa county raised the money so quickly waa one of the biggest helps possible In persuading other parts of the State to come thru. The city of Portland will match dollar for dollar all money raised tor this exposition. Nearly all sec tions are now in line, and aa usual Wallowa eounty was among the first. Joseph Herald. In the five months which have el apsed since September 1, 1918, The Dalles has re eived a rainfall approx imately equal to the annual rainfall for each of tha last few yeasr. Con ditions in this respect have been re markable and as a result ranchers are anticipating a record-breaking crop. The Dalles Chronicle. Austin Culp and "Turk" Irving opened the fishing season last Sunday by putting in the day on the Dea chuts in imitation of Isaac Walton. The day waa very mild and the boys had fine luck, each bringing In a string of fine beauties of large size. This is the first effort of the season as far as reported. Madras Pioneer. Not how good but how many Is one test that can be applied to legislators In order to compare their efficiency in getting measures passed. The mem ber who introduces only a few bill or resolutions often succeeds with ev ery one he Introduces, but while he may be the most, valuable member, success with a few bills is not a test of efficiency in getting 'bills passed. There fa another class who Introduce many measures. To compare the number Introduced with the number actually enacted or adopted provides an efficiency test for this class of members. In quantitative efficiency, Repres entative Denton G. Burdick of Red mond, heads the list for both houses. He Introduced sixteen measures, and of the sixteen, fourteen were enacted or adopted, giving him a percentage of 88 per cent. Senator Gua C. Moser of Portland ran him a close second, as he secured the enactment or adoption of fourteen of seventeen measures, s percentage of 83 per cent.
