Its complete failure has thrown the farmers of the district back upon their pwn resources in getting their grain to market, and this is a .slow and tedious process for all . of them, while many are not prepared at all to freight their I . . . ... , i f A , . . m (fourteen months will be jgrnin 10 uie inaiivei ut ouaumu. Conditions during the present year strongly emphasize the jenornious handicap uudei which the development of this .section is proceeding. With wheat selling around ninety ent3 in the Portland market, fhe wheatgrowers of this sec lion are not able to net them selyes more than fifty cents per bushel for their grain, owing to .the lack of rail transportation facilities. With a bumper crop jind prices high, ideal conditions for the farmer ordinarily, this .section loses all the benefits j because JIarriman won't and j nobody else siiAidi build a rail road into this territory, NEW HOMESTEAD RULING Officials of the local laud office at The Dalles have been notified by the General Land Office of a new ruling by tha department, affecting the com mutation clause of the home stead law. We have not a copy of the circular at hand, but the jgistfot the new ruling is that hereafter an actual residence of re quired in all commutations upon homestead entries, the ruling i being eli'ective on aud after Kovember 1. Heretofore home stead en try men have been per muted to make commutation .upon their entries at the end of ihe first fourteen months after tiling, this fourteen months including six months of con structive residence allowed by the department in which to es tablish residence upon the land, and art actual residence of only eight months following that period. But herea'ter, all en trymen will be required to show an actual residence of fourteen months immediately rjrecedinir tt ing the present year, with wheat crop of more than a mil lion bushels, the Madras .country alone is paying a direct .tribute of a quarter of a million .dollars to this manger policy by reason of the .excessive cost of getting its grain to market. Indirectly it is paying more than that, for With proper transportation facilities the section would be producing from three to five Dur- prool,- Delore the casli eutiy will be allowed. Ihe ruling is a good one,' and will correct abuses of the commutation clause of the homestead law. million bushels of grain, in tead of the million bushels it produced this year. Years like this bring home to us the tremendously adverse conditions under which the development of this section proceeds, but the' have an other effect, too, which bright ens the prospect for the future. Big crops demonstrate the country's worth, and the im mense amount of tonnage in sight is waking up Capital to the possibilities of Central Ore gon as a iield for profitable jailroad investment. The Har riman blockade, so long effect ive in keeping other interests out, is threatened from two fiides, the Oregon Trunk Line from the north and the Mt. .Hood road across the moun tains having projected their Jines into this territory, and the immediate future holds bright promise of a solution of the troubl es ome transportation problem. There have been numerous 0O..jn.tjle. ! reports, regarding the traction freighting project, one persistent rumor bein another attempt would be made at an earl' date to operate the road train successfully between this place and Shaniko. So far as can be learned from the pro moters of the enterprise, how ever, there is nothing to justify the hope that another trial will be made to operate it this sea son. The successful operation of the engine over the roads, without a great deal of work being done on jhem, was dem onstrated to be impracticable by the trial trip made out from Shaniko, and the traction com pany has abandoned the pro ject for this season.
