Hall in the federal court at Portland, the peoplerbf .Oregon will at least have been treated to an entertaining and instructive recital of chapter of the inside politica history of the state, which wil iflord them much food for luougnc. Tiiat cnapter was .never intended for the public eye, but the "inquisitiveness" of the prosecution in the land fraud cases has brought it to light, and it has ("been spread upon the record, a tale of the political game as it was played in Oregon. How intimately it was connected .with that other shameful chap ter of Oregon histoiy, the chap ter relating to its land frauds, may be judged by those who read. The correspondence of Mitch .ell and Fulton with Brownell, .and the testimony of Steiwer, Brownell, Maya and others, throws an interesting sidelight on the manner in which the highest office in the gift of the ,peopl4 of the state was bartered like a bag of old rags for the promise of immunity from prosecution for alleged land frauds. According to these (letters, carefully marked "Strict Jy confidential," and explained .by the testimonj' of Brownell, Steiwer and Mays, protection was needed by Brownell, Stei wer, Mays and others from prosecution for alleged connec tion with the land frauds of the state. Hall, as United States .Attorney, knew of their urgent need, and must be taken care of. Fulton and Mitchell as United States Senators would .have the naming of Hall's suc cessor. With that kind of, a .spread it was easy enough to arrange matters. Steiwer and Brownell should further the senatorial ambitions of Fulton; Fulton and Mitchell were to see that Hall was appointed to the .federal district attorneyship; and Hall was to protect Steiwer, Brownell, Mays, et al. That was the arrangement which has been brought to light in the trial of the Hall case at Port- land. And that is why the people of Oregon have a much greater -I L ,1 1 interest in mis case man ap peared from the title "United States vs. John Hall., They are learning the political history of their state from those who have helped write it, and the .people are beginning to sit up and take notice.

Through advanced methods of dry farming, known as scien tific soil culture, it will be poss ible to "reclaim1' a hundred times the area of land in the 'West that can be brought un der irrigation. In all (he broad .wastes throughout the semi arid regions of the West these ; methods are being adopted, and hundreds of thousands of acres are being brought under prolit fable cultivation through dry farming, in districts where irri gation is impossible or imprac- pelled to haul water for their stock and for household pur poses. If that estimate is cor rect, the cost of a well, even if it is nece-isajy to go ' to the depth of f500 feet to secure water, will soon be paid out of the saving in the cost of farm ing in this district. And, many of the ranchers of this section are finding it to be truej and are having deep wells drilled Two wells have been put down on Agency riains, several are being sunk in the Methodist Hill and Opal Prairie districts, and a number of others are going to bs drilled in the com ing Spring and Summer. y, J. j'i. bliears, uislrict Deputy, 522 Chamber of Commerce, lVrthmd, Oregon.

Had fine weather continued a lew days longer, a number of farmers of this section had signified their intention of starting to Shaniko with wheat. The roads have been drying out in good shape, and are said to be in fair, con dition, and as. there is a large amount of wheat to be hauled, many desire to begin hauling as soon as the roads will per mit. The great danger is that at this season a sudden return of Winter may catch them on the road. Ifowevpr, if the weather had continued good it ticable. The importance of it '.is beginning to be understood, uind dry farming congresses, might have tempted a number of where discussion of methods farmers to try it.
