Railfall in Western Umatilla County Very Heavy—Prospects Ahead of County Are Bright—Citizens Want a County Bridge at Umntilla— Pertinent Questions on Wade Fail­ ure. Umatilla. March 31—The farmers in this end of Umatilla county are wearing the smile that won’t come off Not in the memory of the oldest inhabitants has there been such a An wet spring as we are having. old settler near Echo in converaa- tion with a representative of the East Oregonian said today: "I've been in Umatilla county for 33 years, and I never saw a better prospect for big crops. We have had and a regular webfoot February- March. The ground is full of wa ter. As you know il_oniy takes one good flooding to give us two or three the so with cuttings of alfalfa, ground as wet as it now is we are sure of a heavy crop of alfalfa "The wheat farmers will also get bumper crops You say there might come hot winds. 5o. that is almost Impossible, when out snow little falls in the mountains, it melts eaily anil the summer's heat parches the vegetation. “The wind that blows over mil?s of sun-dried and parched land ab- sfll-bs the reflected heat and becomes a hot and blasting wind; but with the heavy snowfall we have had this spring the snow will go slowly. The moisture will keep the mountains green and the wind blowing over the verdure-clad hills will come as a cool, refreshing breeze in place oi hot winds. “In fact, if the government will make reserves of the headwaters of our streams to prevent deforestra­ tion. we would not have the snow­ going out with a rush, but a gradual melting which would prove of incal­ culable advantage to the farmers and stockmen. “I believe we will see more change in this country in lhe next five years than we have seen in the last 35 years. “Take this sugar beet proposl- tion and the government irrigation Those two things alone mean hun­ dreds of 10 and 2C-acre farms. "I never saw so many strangers in the county before. Tbe man that gets land now is getting in on the ground floor, all right. "At Umatilla I talked with several ranchers who live near the boundary line on tbe west of Umatilla county. Said one of them to me: 'Why don’t the East Oregonian and the rest of the newspapers help us out down here? We live on the west side ot the Umatilla river. Our trading point is Umatilla. With the r.ver as high as it now is we cannot ford. We have to leave our teams on the other side and walk across the ties on the railroad bridge. Much of ch« trade that rightfully belongs to Vma tllla county goes to Morrow county. Some goes to Irrigon, which with a bridge would come to Umatilla, and some to other Morrow county points. We badly need a bridge across the Umatilla river. This section of the county is settling up and would set­ tle even more rapidly if the county would put in a bridge for us across the Umatilla river. “There is another thing that we taxpayers would like to know. How is it that certain persons are filing large claims against C. B. Wade for notes that he has given them when none cf th.? money was given in to the assessor? “If the county got its proper tax from these people who are now i se- curing money that Wade had of them, it could afford to build us a bridge across the Umatilla." FRED LOCKLEY. FREEWATER IRRIGATION. Between Three and Four Sections Will Be Reclaimed by Munificent Decision of Judge Ellis’ Court, Per­ mitting Settlers to Utilize Waste Water in Spring Season—Winter Irrigation Will Win. “If we can only get the waste wa ter from the Little Walla Walla river, from November 1 to May 3. we will produce »100.000 additional crops each year, in the Hudson Bay district,” said W. L. Shaw of Free­ water, to the East Oregonian today. “We are now flooding from three to four sections of idle land much of which will be plowed and seeded to alfalfa this season, and the soaking which that land will get by May 3. at which time our appropriation ex­ pires will produce crops. The water is running to waste down the Walla Walla river and this order of the court permitting the ditch company to use the idle water, is one of the most munificent orders ever issued in Umatilla county, for the reason that it enables the settlers on that idle land to reclaim their farms with water which no one else under the sun can use at this season of the year. "During the later season, when wa- ter is scarce in the river and the supply consumed by the older ditches in that district, we could not expect to irrigate, but if we can soak our ground full of water during the six months of the winter and spring season, we will not need it during the dry weather Lnd low water. “As the land around the dry farms is more thoroughly irrigated and the soil is soaked up !n the win­ ter season, the less water it will re­ quire to produce good crops on that sandy soil. In time the surrounding Irrigated tracts, soaked full of water during the winter season will reclaim much of the dry land that now lies idle on the edges of the irrigated districts and this is one of the spe­ cial spots that will be greatly bene- Expected to Be the Biggest Event Of the Kind in the History of Lima- — Heppner Will Be Shaniko Third—Grow- No Hurry and Are in an Independent Mood. The woolmen are begiuniug to wonder at what time they will be able to sell their wool, and some of them are making suggestions to the Woolgrowers' Association as to the time the sales should be held, but as yet no deflnite action has been taken. The first sale of the season will take place in this city on or about May 28. 1 From present indications. it is apparent that one of the largest tales days in the history of Umatil­ la county will be the result The other dates have not been soi­ led. but will be close following the irst or opening sale. From %ere the buyers will go to Heppner, and from there to Shaniko, so that by the time hey have been around the circle it will nearly be time »or the second series of sales days. There is no hurry about setting the lates, for it is generally understood by the growers that if they get their vool into the warehouses the buyers will be there very soon. It is the >uyers who are more interested than he growers; but as they are all vver the country during the wool :eason. announcement is not neces­ sary for them. LOOKS FOR HIGH WATER. Jld Settler Says Snow Is Deeper in Mountains Than for Years. "You people down here on the ’matilla river must be prepared for i season of the highest water in ears." said R R.

MANAGER OF WADE HERD. N. C. Maris May Take Charge o.’ Another Fine Herd in Near Fu- ture. A N. C. Maris, who has had charge of the Wade cattle for several years, had the mislortune yesterday aft?r- noon to run a rusty nail in his foot, and as a result is now on crutches. The wound is quite painful, but no ill effects are expected, as good care was taken of the wound. ' Mr. Maris has been in charge of the Wade cattle since Mr. Wade ;>«- gan to gather the fine breeds to­ gether and has managed the herd on all the exhibition tours made to ilfferent Northwest fairs. Before taking charge of the cattle Mr. Maris was with the Rural Spirit, the well known stock paper edit-?d by M. D. Wisdom of Portland, and it is probable that he will again take his old position as soon as he has disposed of the last of the Waile herd. Several propositions have been made to Mr. Maris asking him to take charge of herds of fine cattle at different places over the country »nd he will give them hie attention and may possibly decide to take one of them in preference to the place with the paper. He will remain in the city for a short time after hav­ ing finished shipping the Wade cat­ tle. Lost or 8trayed.
