DITCH IH USE AGAIN
Water From Eldorado Ac
quired for Pine Creek Mines.
LONG LITIGATION OVER
llarnt River Company Gets Full
Control and Will Proceed to De
velop Mines That Have Turned
Out Great Nuggets.
BAKER CITY, Or., Dec. & (Special.)
A deal lias Just been closed here that af
fects the waters of what Is known aa the
Eldorado Ditch, ore of the oldest and
longest Irrigation ditches In Eastern Ore
iron. According to papers Juki placed on
file, the Burnt River Gold Mining A
Dredging Company has now full control"
of the Eldorado Ditch waters, which In
mires extensive working of the Pine
Creek placers. These placers have long
been rated very rich and during early
daya. and even after the Auburn gold ex
cltement. the Pine Creek property was
considered among the best in Baker
County. Lack of sufficient water pre
vented working only In a primitive way.
but at that thousands of dollars were
taken from the diggings.
This -is the locality that yielded the
famous Oregon $1100 nugget. ' which oo
eupies a prominent place In the state's
mining history. P. Basche. now County
Treasurer of this county, and. H. C. Mc
Clelland, of Baker City, were the men
who washed out the boulder nugget
Many $76 and tlOO nuggets have been
found Uier. several of which will be
seen In the Oregon mineral display at
Seattle next Spring.
For several years efforts have been
made to obtain possession of water from
the Eldorado Ditch In order to Insure
continuous work of the placer mines,
Ing terms of litigation and other causes
have blocked the way until now. when
the matter has been successfully ad
Justed.
It Is interesting to know that one of
the first big undertakings with a view
to Irrigating Eastern Oregon dry lands
was the construction of the 130 miles of
the Eldorado Ditch more than 30 years
hco by V. H. Packwood. Mr. Packwood
though quite old. m still living and is
assistant postmaster of Baker City at the
jsresent time. That he did his work when
building the ditch well and with a view
to perinanancy Is shown by the splendid
condition it is now in although it 'has
had little care for many years. Three
hundred thousand dollars was spent on
this one project at a time when money
was not freely obtained for irrigation
propositions.
GOATS KILL WALNDT TREES
JIDGE G ALLOW AT SAYS IIE
KXOWS FROM EXPERIENCE.
Turned Goats Loose Among Few
Trees as Experiment, and Lost
Every Sapling.
ALBANY, Or.. Dec . (Special.)
Judge William Galloway, Circuit Jungre
rf the Third Judicial district, has
solved the question, now of Interest
among walnut-growers, aa to whether
'goats bother walnut trees. He says
rh.v iln .TnHflro nallmz-Av lm ft InrffA
walnut orchard In Yamhill County,
near his home at MrMinnvlIle. and he
Is able to give authentic Information
to the orchardista who are planning
the economical course of raising wal
nuts and goats In the same field.
For the past few months there lias
been considerable discussion of this
question among horticulturists and the
statement has often been made that
goats, while they destroy most vege
tation, will not bother growing wal
nut trees, and that to raise goats in
an orchard would be a profitable side-
Issue of walnut-growing.
This question ra brought up dur
ing an Intermission In Circuit Court
here this week, while a number of
orchardists were discussing the plan of
vV. J. Giddlngs, of Albany, who Is de
voting 320 acres of land in Lincoln
County to the culture of walnuts, and
Is planning to use goats to clear up the
virgin, fern-covered land while the
tre-s mature.
"Gludlngs' plan is all right, because
he is going to fence In his trees. " said
Judge Galloway, who Is alive with In
terest whenever walnuts are mentioned,
for he Is one of the pioneer walnut-
growers of the Willamette Valley, and
has seen this Industry grow from
nothing until there are now scores of
orchards . being planted and maturing
throughout tbis part of the state.
"But I can tell walnut-growers that
the goat plan won t work. I had often
heard the statement In horticultural
meetings that goats won't bother wal
nuts, so I tried It lately. I turned
some goats In an enclosure where there
were only IS trees, and I am glad I
made the test on a small number In
stead of turning them into my big
orchard. They killed all of my trees
and no man can make this statement
to me that goats won't bother walnuts.'
WOMEN TO BEAUTIFY CITY
Will Work Systematically, to Keep
Albany Clean.
ALBANY. Or.. Dec. . (Special.)
Active work for the beautifying of
Albany has been instituted by the
Ladles" Auxiliary of the Albany Com
mercial Club, under the direction of Its
president. Mrs. J. K. Weatherford.
Plans have been made for dividing the
city into sections, each section to be in
chsrge of a member of- the club, whose
duty it will be to see that It Is kept
clean and Impruved. The club will ask
all residents to Improve their lawns
and the streets in front of their houses
and remove all obnoxious fences and
barns. Albany is already one of the
best Improved cities In the state as
regards beautiful residences and lawns,
but the Ladles' Auxiliary promises to
make it even more beautiful.

UNDERWOOD SHIPS APPLES
CARLOAD OF WINTER VAC IE
TIES SENT TO .NEW YORK.'
Wliite Salmon Fruit I'nion Pro
poses to Build Cold Storage,
Warehouse To Ship Berries.
UNDERWOOD. Wash., Dec. . (Spe
cial. The first carload of apples to leave
this section was shipped by the White
Salmon Valley Fruitgrowers' Union of
Underwood, on November 2S. This was
rather quirk work, as the union had been
in shape to do business less than two
weeks.
The apples were mostly Newtoana and
Spltzenbergs, and went to Rae & Hat
field, of New York, who paid for them
f. o. b. Underwood the same price they
paid for Hood River apples this season
Another car is being loaded for the
Harvey Hotel Company of the Santa Fe
system, of such varieties aa Ben Davis,
York Imperial, Baldwin, etc., for which
high prices have been received.
The directors of the union feel much
encouraged over the outlook and are pre
paring for the future by arranging to
erect at Underwood a cold-storage ware
house 100 by 100 feet, a portion of this
to be completed In time to handle the
berry crop of 1909. The union plans to
market all kinds -of fruit.
Underwood is destined to be the main
shipping point for the whole White Sal
mon Valley, for traffic of ail kinds seeks
a down-hill haul at all times, and when.
In addition to a down-grade, there is a
saving of several miles In distance, any
other route is out of the question.
The Cooks Addition people are plan
ning to build a road to Underwood, be
fore berry season, which will lessen their
distance to the railroad by one-half.
With hundreds of acres of young orchard
coming on. with enough timber and dairy
products in the upper valley to pay op
erating expenses from the beginning, and
ample power to be had anywhere on the
river, an electric road from Underwood
up the valley Is only a question of a few
years.
This section is especially fortunate in
the class of men behind the fruitgrowing
business, a great many of them standing
in the front ranks in Portland business
life, who are devoting their time, money
and talents to bringing this country to
the front.
GETS $1000 OFF TEN ACRES
F.lma Grower of Small Fruits Makes
Splendid Showing.
ELM A, Wash., Dec. 6. (Special.)
John W. Hanshaw this week disposed
of 10 acres of hill land, lying -north of
town, to Henry C. Taylor, a farmer
from North Dakota, for $175 an acre.
The 10 acres sold is part of a 40-acre
tract that Mr. Hanshaw bought eight
years ago. He paid $6 an acre for the
land, and at the time he made the pur
chase those familiar with the land said
he paid too much for It, and that he
would soon starve out.
Mr. Hanshaw was a man of limited
means, however, getting on in years.

CUTTING UP BIG HOLDINGS
Lebanon Landowners Find Ready
Sales at Advanced Figures.
LEBANON, Or., Dec. 6. (Special. )
The cutting up of the tuOO acres of the
Paine farm into small tracts has at
tracted more than a passing interest in
this community, and It Is believed that
It is but the beginning of many more
like acts. The -owners seem to have
Just discovered that men will pay much
higher prices for a 10 or 20-acre tract
than a like proportion for a large tract,
and by cutting up these large tracts
they readily pass out to small holders
at high prices.
A few months ago a stranger came to
Lebanon and purchased a farm almost
adjoining the town for $100 an acre, and
many of the oldtimers laughed at the
"greeny" who would pay that price for
that kind of land.
He cut it up into small tracts of from
two to 10 acres, and In six months has
sold enough to pay the $8000 he paid
for It. and has half of It left, and is
making sales every week. Other farms
are now being cut up near here, and the
town people are rejoicing at the new turn
of things In the land deals. ,

GRANGE WANTS NO CHANGE
Opposed to Placing State Schools
Under One Board.
Mrs. M. II. Katon, secretary of Multno
mah County Pomona Grange, has found
that all the Granges of the county are
opposed to the movement to place the
Oregon Agricultural College and the Uni
versity of Oregon under the control of
one board of regents. At the last meet
ing of Pomona Grange. Mrs. Eaton was
commissioned to ascertain how the order
stands In this county on the proposed
measure, which will probably be intro
duced at the coming legislative session.
She has received replica from all the local
Granges, which are unanimous In oppos
ing the change.
Colonel H offer, of Salem, announced
some time ago that he would introduce u
bill at the coming gfsioii of the Legis
lature forming one board of regents for
the two schools. Since then the Patrons
of Husbandry have passed numerous res
olutions expressing their opposition. Ths
Patrons of Husbandry consider that the
objects of tile two schools are not iden
tical and that it would not be practicable
for one board to control both with impar
tiality. J. J. Johnson, state lecturer, and
edilor of the Oregon Grange Bulletin, is
opposing the measure.

Successful Recipe
for Indigestion. Z
!t is seldom that a great spe-
cialist will give away the secrets
of his profession, but occasional-
ly we find one who is more lib-
era). tt
A noted specialist on stomach
disorders, dyspepsia and appe-n-
dicltis says: "I always prescribe
the following with the greatest
success, for indigestion, acute or
chronic; dyspepsia, sour stomach,
distress after eating, surli as
heart palpitation, shortness of
breath, constipation, depression.
headache and biliousness. Those
simple but powerfully blended
ingredients can usually be ob-
tained at any leading drugstore,
or the druggist can obtain them
from wholesale firms who supply
the profession generally with
rare extracts and essences. Mix
in a bottle two ounces syrup of
Ginger, one ounce Comp. essence
Cardiol and two ounces essence
of Pepsin. Shake well and take
one or two teaspoonfuls after
each meal, or before, to excitrf
the appetite. If necessary. For
costiveness, a dose at night will
do much good. Let children who
have stomachache take this fr--e-
lv. Adults can find nothing that
will do so much permanent good
and at the same time give prompt
relief from distress."
