C.,ne"ws item says: The Agrjcnltural pepartment brands aa a fak tlio story Tecently printed broadcast over the country about won' dorfuU'Alaska" wheat grown at Julia- vUta,, Idaho, which Was declared o yield 1Q0 hushels per acre. i,Tflhyithstanding tho statement of tlijc grower and seller of tfiis wn'pnt, witl whom tho department has had much correspondence, the department denies that thjs s new or eyen valuable vari ety of wheat, and asserts that It is noth ing more nor less than ''mummy wheat" whch caught many suckers years ago, Tile fact that the wheat ,is selling at $20 and 25 per "bjjBbel Leads the depart ment to brand the stories' as a clever advertising scheme, Tho so-called Alaska wheat has been known to the department for years, and schemes similar to tho present have been practiced at intervals for many years, RAILROAD SURVEYORS RETURN TO MADRAS The Central Oregon railroad .survey ors, who were cainped at Culver or a" week, while the survey between Madras and Trail Crossing was being' made, ret. turned to Madras last Saturday. They will probably bo engaged next on tho survey between this place and Shaniko, along tho route of tho old Columbia Southorn survey. Kobert'Itea, who is In charge of the survey, says a good route between this place and Trail Crossing can be secured, if it should be decided to build that way, anil that tho line- would be one that could bo easily constructed. The only expensive piece of work on the line is tho crossing over Crooked Itfver near troll Crossing, and a much better crossing can bo secured thero than had been thought possible. TIMBER BURNS ON INDIAN RESERVATION Forest fires did considerable damage to tho timber on tho West Bide of the Warm spring reservation lastSveek, espe ciallyin the timber near tho headwaters of tho Clackamas river. Tho ilro ut one. time was reported to have a frontage of seven- miles and to be spreading rapidly, but hard work on the part of tho fire fighters, with tho assistance of the rains tho latter pari of the week, enabled them to get tho flames under .control. About 40 Indians wero sent Up from tho agency to fight the fires, a number of them being called from the harvest fields for tho purpose' . Thero is considerable' fipo timber on the Warmspring resoh'ation, -which ex tends West to the summit of the Cits cade mountains. BIG RAILROAD MEET ING AT PRINEVILLE Mr, U, A.
