most optimistic in the past.
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

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.

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.

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. Oregon
