To the farmer it will doubtless mean also that Fall plowing will begin, Avbilo tho stQck men will I'O glad to seo tho grass start up on tho Fall ranges. Incidentally everybody in this county will bo glad to bo rid, for n few days at least, of tho dust. Tlio rain, which was of tlio good, soaking variety, began to fall Sunday morning, and extended through tho bettor part of three days. It will put the roads, which had become- very dusty and full of chuck-holes, in fine shape for freighting. So far as can bo learned tho rain wob general throughout the county.

THINKS DESCHUTES CQ.'S BD TOO HIGH' Irrigation Company Wonts To Reclaim, Additional 74,000 Acros In Crook County, Salem, Or,, Oct. 0. The Stato Land Board heard today and took under adr. visernent the application of tho Des chutes Irrigation fc Power Co. for a con tract for the reclamation of 74,000 acres, of land South and East of the tract thaf, company is already reclaiming in the vicinity of Bend, Crook county. Thjs. new tract is what is known as the Bene ham Falls project. The state has a contract with tho United States for the reclamation f f-l)fM tract and now the question is to whom tho state shall let the contract of con structing a reclamation system. Tho Deschutes company wants a lien of $GQ an acre fqf, reclaiming tho land, but there are indications that the board thinks this is too much. It is reported that the Twin Falls Land & Water Co,, which operated extensively in Idaho and Eastern Washington, is figuring on undertaking the Benham Falls project at a price less than that named by tho. Deschutes company. ' The board will send State Engineer Lewis to inspect the land and report,' The company estimates that 31 per cent of tho entire tract is non-irrigable. The state land board today adopted a new and important rule relating to res:-, dence on reclaimed land in the Des chutes projects. Heretofore the rules have required purchasers of reclaimed land to reside three months on the land and put one-eighth of it under cultiva tion within three years from the data of application. The rule adopted today permits the settler to "prove up" by showing a 30-day residence, the cultiva tion of 75 per cent of bis and, and tlio erection of a four-room house. ITEMS FROM OUR EXCHANGES Hauling Wheat To Prineville Wheat, bushels of wheat, tons of wheat, great wagonloads of wheat, is being hauled to the Prineville Flouring ' Mills Quite a large percentage of this wheat comes from the Madras country. Although it is admitted that there is less wheat this year than formerly, there is certainly enough for homo con sumption, whatever may be said of wheat for export by way of Shaniko. One lias only to visit the local mill to note the truth of the foregoing asser tion. Almost any hour of the day may be seen from two to a dozen wagons full of wheat awaiting their turn to unload, while all inside the mill is bustle and' bustle. Tlio elevator with a capacity of 1G.000 bushels, is overflowing, filled to tho roof, and of this 8000 bushels camo in during the past two weeks. In other parts of tho mill sacked wheat and looso wheat is being stored for tbe following year s milling. It is wheat, wheat everywhere. Piineville Journal.
