Ore. under the Act of Congress of March 3, 187'J. THURSDAY - NOV. 19, 1908 "A STITCH IN TIME" A petition is being circulated among farmers of this district addressed to the County Court and asking for a rigid enforce ment of the law for the exter initiation of noxious weeds. The law should be enforced, to pre vent the weed problem from assuming proportions which would be a serious menace to the farming industry in this end of the county. So far the spread of the weeds has been confined to a limited area, many of the districts in this end of the county being practically free from noxious weeds, but unless prompt action is taken to prevent the further spread of the weeds, the problem will be one which will have to be dealt with throughout this end of the county. A majority of the land owners fight the weeds and pre vent their spread, but the trou ble is with "non-resident owners who know nothing of the weeds on their land, aud another class who are too shiftless to care, and from these places the seeds are carried to the adjoining lands. ,The county has a rem edy in such cases and should act. No one else has authority. The county authorities made a start at enforcing the law this Fall, but there was some com plaint, .011 the ground that the work was done too late in the season, as the seeds had rip ened on the weeds. There is an almost unanimous desire that the law be enforced, but the question should be given, some study aud thd remedy applied at the proper time. RECALLS THE BLOWING WELL The loss of the water in the well at Mrs. Adams' homestead recalls. a similar occurrence in Madras several years ago, when it was thought the whole flat was being "diained." Frank Loveland was sinking a well on a. lot just back of The Pioneer office, and although he had plenty of water at about 25 feet, drilled deeper for the purpose of secuiing water from a lower level. When the well was something over a hundred feet deep, the drill broke through a crevice and all the water in the well immediately disappeared. It could be heard at the surface trickling down into the trevice at the bottom of the well. About this time a number of wells in the Hat began to fail, some of them for the first time, and as the water in all the wells m town, an especially on the side of town in which, the Love land well was located, began to run shoit, there was a chorus of complaints that the Loveland well was draining the watei fcupply from which the wells in the Hat weie fed. Water be came so scaice in these wells and the fear of a water famine so great, that finally Mr. Love land "plugged" the well above the crevice, sealing the bottom of it with cement. The wells in town continued low fur some .time, but the usual increased supply came with the Fall weather, and the incident was j'orgotten. Another peculiarity of the Loveland well was the strong .current of air whioh blew al ternately in and out of the .diilJed hole. When blowing! loutit vviia bo strong a cuiteriti that it would lift a hat or any light object placed over tlie top of the well. This peculiarity was never explained. AN IMPORTANT TRANSACTION The purchase by the Harri man interests for the sum of $2500 of a right-of-wayncroBS the Willis W. Brown property on the Deschutes, following so closely upon the announcement of General Manager O'Brien that the Deschutes line would be built to Madras, appears to set at rest any doubts that might have existed as to the intention ol the Harrimau peo pie to build that line. Mr. Har rimau has been surveying lines into Central Oregon for a good many years, but he has not been buying right-of-way along these surveys, and there lie the diflerence in the Deschutes ine to Madras, the survey of which has just been completed. The price paid was doubtless not out of proportion to the damage done to a valuable piece of land, so the purchase appears to be a bona fide Hans action, for the purpose of Becur ing a right-of-way for the pro jected railroad into Central Or egou. Tins view ot it is strengthened by the fact that the purchase of this right of- way by the Harrimau interests across the Brown tract cannot block the Oregou Trunk Line it that point, as there is plenty room lor outu lines, iven 11 there were not, the Canyon Act would prevent either line from monopolizing a narrow pass to the exclusion of a competing ine. . ,t LUIWIIUWH HI III! 1 " (Not Coal Land rJOMESTKAI).

DRY FARMERS" MADE GOOD East Oregoniau Plans are now being made for the third Trans-Missouri Dry Farming Congress, which will n held in Cheyenne, Wyo., February 23, 24 and 25, next, and will be a convention of in- ei natioiial.impdrtance. While his is in a sense a new organi zation its importance as a' eco nomic movement is easily esti mated from the fact that when the iirigatiun water has all been impounded statistics show thai water can be placed upon but one ninih of the available aud well located agricultural laud Even the most skeptical critics of the effort to populate the un irrigated lands are now begin ning to admit that in the face of their constant claims that fail t are would surely follow at tempts at so called "dry farm ing", the crops from nnirrigated farms both experimental and operative have "made good" the claims of the "dry farmers."
