BUTTER PRICES SOARING

Now 80 Cents a Roll, and Will Reach
$1 by End of Year.
Portland Butter is going to bo an
expensive luxury in tho Portland mar
ket in tho coming fall and winter. A
dollar a roll or more will befote long bo
tho price charged at the retail stores.
Tho price is now 80 cents, and during
the reraaindor of the year tho advance
is certain to bo stead v.
Butter prices are rising all over the
country. The consumption, taken as a
whole, exceeds the production, and for
this reason but little surplus butter has
been put into cold storage during tho
flush season in the biu butter centers of
the United States. Tho current mako,
until next spring, will have to satisfy
all requirement, and as tho produc
tion naturally lessens at this time of
year, tne natural result Is a nso in
prices.
Two weeks ago tho Portland market
was raised li1. cents, to 32K, cents n
pouno at wholesale. The ollicials of
tho Hazelwood Cream company, at its
lust meeting, decided on another 2
cent advance. As all tho city creamerv

Bend Kxprcf&loua of sutprlso and
patlsfaotlon wore frecpiontly ut toted by
tlio Guvoinor and other momburs of tho
jMirty (hut eamo to Bond recently for
tho purpose of Investigating tho condi
tion of tho reclamation projects that
lmvo been started In this vicinity.
While tho representatives of tho Btato
and tho government havo not yet given
attention to the details of tholr task,
and aro not in a position to express an
opinion which will indicate their final
conclusions, they freoly voiced tholr
pleasure over the rapid progress that
has boon mado in agriculture in tho
Deschutes country.
Three years ago, whon tlio stato land
l)0)i rd mndo ltd first visit of inspection
to tho Doichutea project, there was not
an irrigated field within tho limit of
cither of tho immoneo tracts set apart
for reclamation. Tho party that cnuio
to Bend passed dozous of irrigated
fields, whore settlors havo transformec
sago brush plains into Holds of alfalfa,
wheat, outs, corn, potatoes and garden
vegetables. Tlio view ot these many
thrifty, growing crops was n practical
demonstration of tho success ot iirigit
tion on tno uoecnutca, lor Holds wero
seen whero two crops of alfalfa, aggro
gating threo tona to tho acre, wero cut
on land seeded down last season, and
whoro fully matured wheat of fl rt clans
quality has been harvested long before
tho frost season has arrived.
Threo years ago thero was scarcely a
settler's cabin on tho wholo 1-10,000
acres which tho Deschutes comnunv
had undertaken to reclaim. Today
thero aro 250 families residing on tho
farm lands, 120,000 acres are greon
with growing crops, many moro fami
lies havo applied for lands and will
como hero to make homes when water
has been supplied and Boveral thousand
acres havo been cleared and plowed

Two trusty convicts wero turned out,

the tricks known and practiced by fugi
tives to evndo man-hunting doge, such
as back-tracking, wading through
