D. Wiest of Bend inaugurated a move ! .nient whereby petitions will be) .circulated thi-olighout weatenij prook county asking, fyx M) creation ct a new nifiu roue ex-i tending from Heisler tp Benfl,: bv wav of Madras and Red mond. The proposition . when .presented to the farmer? m ses-i .siou met with a yeiy favorable. .reception, and immediate at tion: .will be taken in the matter oil securing signatures to the peti tions. v u 4 This Change, was urged spme' time ago by The Pioneer, after n investigation of the present unsatisfactory mail service to points in western Crook county. :The Bend office is served through .PrinevilJe,. : and at that time iaidlaw was served through Bend, a very roundabout and unsatisfactory service. .The new -inail route proposed would give .Very much better service tp .Bend, Redmond and Laidlaw, and it would also greatly im vprove' the service to Lamonta, which office is now served from Grizzly. This section of Crook county has good roads at all seasons of the. -year, in fact, tue broads between Heisler and Bend .are not excelled by .those of any iOtherrportion of the state,tand .this fact, together with the fact that this route is the direct one, would render it possible to save -.from .six. to eight, hours in the schedule between Bend and the "railroad, while points betwewn the Shaniko market last season brought the highest prices paid In tho state, and this fact, to gether with tho fact that sev eral million pounds of wool aro marketed there eaoh season, makes that point the m.ost im portant wool market in the stute. The exceptionally high prices paid for Shaniko wools in the aqt are due to the ex ceptional quality of wool pro duced in that Jopality, and to the additional fact that both quantity" and Aquajity attract a large number of buyers to that market, and the. bidding is con-J sequentlJuspiwteuV , Ahrqe-dayB, spell of tholnot 3evfji"B weather this cquntry litis experienced during the winter be.Aion. lost, fcurday morn ing.and, when at its heignt on Saturday night and (Sunday, it assumed the proportions 01 a hazard, Tlje'wind blew from thq.north, and in fact at times.it seemed to come ,from all direc tions, and not during tho pres ent winter tins mere been a spell of Buch severity. This was probably intensified ,by the fact that it followed suddenly upon a peritd of extremely warm and balmy spring weath er. It is not known yet what damage to crops was done, but it is feared considerable dam age has resulted from the heavy frosts. estate BoorAcrs employed by the railroads and other companies having large bodies of land to sell. The. Chief drawback to.the section as a wheatralsing country in thtt view of Mr. Mcpaniels, is the fact that the most of the slimmer rainfall comes in July, Au gust And September. There arc no relia ble spring rains as in, this section, and upon which the success of the crop largely depends. The rains, which come later in the slimmer ate. at a time when they would only injure wheat. . ,. . .

Also the land is high and strong winds blow the year around. While there Mr.McDaniel saw but one man who had raised a. wheat crop and his crop had yielded but It bushels to the acre.

Co., has offered the sum of .$500 to be used for premiums at a fair 'to. be held at Redmond this Pa'l. The money will be divid ed into premiums for different Kinds, of agricultural products, so that the farmers of the coun ty can compete for, them, the purpose being to stimulate in terest in such matters. The fair will probably be held some time in September, but definite dates will be announced later.

Another meeting of farmers ' Was held,at Redmond last week, this .being the second of the ser ies of farmers' meetings to be held in the irrigated district of this county. The first meeting Avas held at Laidlaw and both it (..,und last week's meeting at Red imond were very successful in "point of attendance aud in the vvork accomplislfed. It is plan ned to hold these meetings reg ularly, the next, one to be held tit Bend in about a month, and, one to be held each month, Laidr 'law, Redmond and Bend each ' holding them in turn. Tho pur- pose of the meetings iB for the discussion of topics of general interest to farmers, and especi ally with refeVehce- to the irri- 'gated section, and they will be of inestimable benefit to the farmers' of that comparatively hew1 section; who will thus' be able to reap the benefit of each ' 'other's experience in the vari ous experiments being cariied on there. The 'dates for tho public wool sales days at different points in Eastern Oregon have been ar ranged by the State Wool Growers' Association, a'nd'Juile 5 and 0, 10 and 20, send July 10 "have been set for the-flales days at Shaniko.

Smith of Hood River, who has been boomed by his friends for the Republican nomination for Governor, has formally announced his candi dacy for the United States Sen ate. The announcement comes as a great surprise, as Mr. Smith has been urged by his friends all over the state to enter the race for the nomination for Gov ernor and it was not generally known that he had aspirations for the Senatorship. Mr. Smith cast his maiden vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1800, since which time he has been a, staunch Republican, be; longirig to the stalwart wing of the party in this state. He is prominent in the industrial or ganizations of tho state, being chairman of the State Board of Horticulture and , president of the Northwest Fruit Growers' Association and the Oregon De velopment League fle'haa also been very prominent in the pol itics of this state, and he was Speaker of the House in the Legislature of 1889.
