PROPOSE TO IMPORT
THGRQUGHBRED WHEAT
Farmers Desire Improved
Seed Grain
WANT WALLA WALLA CLUB
Availbblo Seed Has Degenerated
Plan to Make Up Orders
For Carload
Inasmuch as a number of farm
ers in this section have expressed
the'desire to get some thorough
bred seed wheat for fall seeding,
the suggestion has been made
that enough orders be clubbed
together to bring in a carload.
The only wheat that is now avail
able here for seed is grain that
has been grown and harvested
here ever since wheat raising
first started, 'much of which has
become badly mixed with num
erous varieties of wheat, until
it has lost its identity, and now
goes by the name of "wheat."
F. D. Stewart, agent for Bal
four Guthrie & Company at this
!ace. has consented to receive
orders from the farmers who de- J
. . a'a.- e I
sire to secure any quantity m
pure seed wheat, and it is be
lieved that enough will be de
manded to bring in a carload.
Those who wish to get some pure
seed should leave their orders
with him, stating the kind de
sired and the quantity. The
proposal has been made to ship
in some of the best Walla- Walla
Club, grown on Eureka Flat, in
the Walla Walla Valley. This is
a dry farming district, and has
about the same climate as this
section. The Walla Walla Club
is a noted wheat and is known
all over the world, and would no
doubt be one of the finest var
ieties to grow here for commer
cial purposes. However, if a car
is ordered anyone could send for
any special kind he might wish.
Leave an order for what you
wish with Balfour Guthrie &
Company, with the understand
ing that a full car must be made
up before the order is sent.

SAMMY NEWSON, JR,
QUITS. PRINEVILLE
Has Marshal Weston Arrested and
Pays Costs of Action
Sam Newsom passed through
town Monday evening from
Prineville on his way to Seattle,
traveling in his auto. Sam says
he is quitting the-old town for
good. It seems that Sam and
A. J. Weston, formerly police
officer in Madras and "who is now
marshal at Prineville, did not
get along well together, Weston
repeatedly having Sam under
arrest. The other night Sam
alleges that Weston was drunk
while on duty, and he had the
officer arrested. A trial was
held Monday in fhe justice court
in which Weston was cleared of
the charge and the costs of the
case, amounting to $22.50, were
assessed to Sam. Wherefore,
Sammy is quitting the flat.
FARMS TURN OUT
BUMPER HARVEST
Yield of Three Northwest States
Will Exceed 60,000,000
Portland, Ore., Aug. 1 Bank
ers and business men generally
expect marked improvement in
business conditions throughout
the Pacific Northwest as the
result of tho bumper crops the
farms are turning out this year.
It is believed fhe distribution of
the crop money tAmong the farm
ers will mean renewed activity
in all lines and in none more par
ticularly than in th.2 lumber in
duntry. A reawakening of the
lumber business will be widely
beneficial by reason of the money
it distributes among a large num
ber of people.
The grain harvest, nrtw in full
swing, is the most satisfactory
feature of the whole situation.
The yield of the three Pacific
Northwest states is fixed at bet
ter than 60,000,000 bushels and
prospects are favorable for high
prices, Fruit, hops, salmon, and
the varied resources of the North
west states will contribute their
share to the contTnu ud prosper
ity of this section of the country.
r3rlng filks to Oregon
Elk from Wyoming will be
shipped to the mountain .districts
oi Union and Wallowa counties
during the coming winter. The
animals are hard put to it for
food during the severe Wyoming
winters and many of them starve
each year. The Goverumont is
determined to save the Wvoiuincr
herds from extinction and the
Oregon mountains offer ideal
range for thorn.
NEW RULING ALLOWS
ADDITIONAL FILINGS
Entrymen Undor 320-Acro Law May
Take Maximum Acreage
Washington, July 29. Repre
sentative Mondell has just se
cured from Secretary Fisher a
very important interpretation of
the 820-acre homestead law,
making it possible for entrymen
who have taken less than the
maximum Under that law to enter
now additional land up to the
full amount. Heretofore the In
terior Department has held a
directly opposite view.
More than a year ago Mondell
called the attention of the de
partment to the faot that this
provision was not in accordance
with the terms of the law or
sound public policy. He has had
continuous correspondence and
many interviews with the offi
cials of the Interior Department
since that time, with the result
that Secretary Fisher, in a letter
to the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, has held the
criticism of the Wyoming mem
ber well taken; that the provis
ion in the department's circular
of instructions to Land Offices
was not in accord with the law
or sound public policy, and di
recting that the language ob
jected to be stricken out.
New instructions, embodying
the changed interpretation of the
law, will be sent to all Land
Offices. Members of Congress
have received thousands of com
plaints from entrymen 4
sire to take up iadiuow
under this law, who ht
mnncres. The rw
Uha mnv interpretation Wl
