tho effect that tho firo was still raging
with a frontage 'of 15 miles. Tills wajf-
several days Ago, and as plenty of fire

ALASKA" WHEAT AN
OLD SWINDLING GAME
A Washington, T). 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
