, The above is the emblem of
,ihe "Made in Oregon" fair
which is being held at Portland
this week. The show windows
of the business houses avejto be
filled with displays of Oregon
Manufactures, covering the en
tire industrial life of the state.
The choosing of a beauty queen
and a grand procession of floats'
and other appropriate Ceremon
ies will be features.
. The emblem shown above is a
a most suitable onejfor an Ore
gon boosting exposition. The
beaver has been, since the ear
liest settlements, associated
with Oregon's emblems. He is
a native Oregonian, a hard
working builder who does no
knocking, and who dams noth
ing but the streams. He works
tooth and toe nail, develops the
limber resources and irrigates
his home. He, was among the
yery first tq attract capital to
Oregon, and thousands of his
kind have died as martyrs to
Jhis cause. All houor to the
beaver as an Oregon booster.
Ajfew score of beavers yet
Jive n their natural haunts in
-jCrook county;.. They are pro
jected by-law. Let the man who
would maliciously kill a beaver
jhink how much more profitable
it is to follow. his,example, than
to kill him for .his Xikry coat.
A GRAFT
! I
One of the measures which
will be presented to the voters
of the state in the June election,
under the initiative and referen
dum, is a law authorizing the
3)urchase of the Iarlow route
across the Cascades, by (he
state, for 824,000.00. Upon the
ballot which will be handed to
the voter in the June election,
Jhis attempt to graft the state
pf Oregon1 will apppar in this
attractive form: "For a law to
abolish toll on the Mount Hood
and Barlow roads, and provid
ing its ownership by:lhe state",
;but nothing will be said of thei
524.000 that this law authorizes
to be paid for thearqod, nor
does it mention the animal ap
propriation by the state that
will be necessary for the repair
and the maintainance of the
road. ,
. The measure proposed is
;nothing more or less than an
attempt at graft in its purest
form. It seeks to authorize , the
ipayment by the state of $24,
()00 to the present owners of the
road, for a, piece ot property
which will be practically value-
Jess. So patent ia the attempt
0 graft that there. could be no
danger of its approval by the
voters in June, were .it not for
the very misleading wording of
the question wjiich.js to be sub
niitted, and which makes ic ap
pear tjmta vote for the measure
is a vote for the lifting ot a bur
len from the shoulders of the
people, whereas exactly the op
posite will result should the
measure pass

pany, some of-i.the prqminpnl
farmers in lhe Eastern portion
of this state, experimented with
alfalfa on dry ,land, vand they
are reporting the, very rest of
success. The system employed
by Mr. Judson and which he in
troduced into Oregon,is known
as the Campbell systeni, and
was first employed along , the
WesterU slopes of. the Rocky
Mountains. Among those who
are trying dry land alfalfa cul
ture in this state with a success
is .George,!?. Wrip-ht, twho lives
near LaGrrande, He sowed a
field of alfalfa with the dry
seed which Mr. Judson import
ed from Germany, and ho .re
ports that this alfalfa is grow
ing, and is higher and healthier
than the other alfalfa which he
is raising by irrigation. He is
a Jirm believer in the dry farm
ing or Campbell sysl'em, as
applied to bench lands, and
looks for splendid results all
thrqngh the conntry,
Tjie Campbell system of dry
land farming will probably be
one of the subjects which will
be discussed at the farmer's
institute at Bend, during the
latter part of this month, and it
is a subject which is of the ut
most importance to farmers
throughout the semi-arid reg
ions of the West.

A Washington, dispatch, of
date May 10. states that the
President will soon sign . the
bill recently passed by Con
gress, authorizing the home
steading of agricultura' lands
in forest reserves. With this
law in eliect considerable valu
able land in Crook county, on
the upper Deschutes river, will
"1
be available to settlement, the !
land being included in the Cas
cade reserve. So strongly did
these tracts appeal to settlers in
that section as being desirable
lands for ranches that a num
ber of these settler?, who de
sired more neighbors in their
comihunity, made efforts last
year o get special action taken
by tlie department, providing
for settlement, under homestead
laws, but those efforts came to
nought. The new law is said
tc take a.way tho main aigu
ment of those-apposed to the
maintaimmee of forest reserves.
u Josh-away Creflield, the Holy
Roller prophet who was shot
and killed at 5eattle last week,
by George Mitchell, two of
whose, .sisters were Crefiield's
victims, seems to have missed
connections on his return trip.
Creflield taught his followers to
believe that he would be resur
rected four days after death, but
from all reports he is still dead.
It is possible that the earth
quake disturbances have block
aded passage from the lower
regions.
