Wash , in r ton. , a. s '" : There are eight miles of main ditch and 17 miles of laterals. ' The water ts .surplus from the Tum-a-Lum ' river, a branch of the Walla Walla river.- Thr stockholders of the company are mostly ranchers who own land under the ditch, Soma of the finest alfalfa In the northwest Is grown here, much of which Is shipped out, and many cattle from different parts of Oregon and washing ton are fed hers during; the . winter season. Great Fruit Country. . ' Only a short distance from the alfalfa lands vast tracts of fruit are seen In the Hudson Bay, Freewater and Milton country, where land Is Irrigated by dif ferent private concerns. The cltisena and fruitgrowers have Just constructed .a, cannery at Freewater, capitalised In the sum of 118.000, which will be in operation for this season's crops.', The country between Freewater and Walla Walla Is rapidly being built up, and now that a trolley line Is running through fromWalla Walla to Milton, many of the residents of Walla Walla sirs buying five and ten-acre tracts ' along the line of the road In preference to living In the city, which will in time tend to male the entire country between Milton and Freewater and on to Walla WaTIa one vast tract of orchards and beautiful homes. A grange is already established In the Hudson Bay country, and a grange tail has Just been completed at , cost of 12,000, the stockholders all being grangers. ' .' t Diversified .Farming. Diversified farming brings many new settlers into this section of the country, ' who can live on small .tracts of from five to 10 and 20. acre; All kinds of vegetables' and fruits are raised here, This year the principal pack at the cannery will consist of to matoes, peaches and cherries. More than 100 acres of tomatoes have been contracted for.- .

' ' B. Levy, the pearl king of Tahiti, Is about to retire from business la the Is lands. During his sojourn there he has smassed a large fortune by picking up pearls among many Islands that com oriss ths Tuamotu group.1; ,.h When Levy went n out ' to Papeete, some 20 years ago, says the San Fran Cisco Call, he . bought a little sloop which be named the Diamond. In this small craft he sailed among ths Islands and brought from the natives the pearls found by them In ths great pearl oys ters which ars so common in that re gion. After hs , had gathered a large assortment of the beautiful gems, he went to Paris, where hs found a ready market for them, t He soon afterward returned-to Tahiti and bought the trim schooner Tiara. Levy then began bust ness on a large scale' and acted as-1 trader, between Island points. . , " AT Pcdin Restaurant 0.

" Among ths pearls - taken abroad by him ars said to. have been some that now adorn ths erowned heads of -Europe. Levy is a rare Judge of Jewels and has made a special study of ths pear shaped pearL . .v On his last visit to Paris Levy took with him ons of these rare gems valued at 18,000. It is said to be the most beautiful pearl of its alas over seen in Europe. Its great beauty is In its pe culiar pearlike shape and in its mar- yeuow ooior, oeing ungea . wiui un faintest shading of a golden hue. One of the greatest gem experts in France told Levy, at the time that il he sould find a mate to this wonderful pearl he would pay Aim 160,000 for it Levy ' at . ones - hastened ' back 1 to Papeete and It is reported that he found the gem ho was looking for. Hs has sold his schooner Tiara and In a few weeks will leave for Europe, where he will reside permanently. -- His eldest son will remain in Tahiti to. look after his business Interests there. . KISSING DAYS ; Observance of Ancient Custom by an English FiabinspTown.

The Intro- flturttnn f black barley into Baker ri ley IS the greatest boon to the farmers of this section oi . , Ing has been carried on quite k. v. wheat being used to fatten the stock. Although the indus try hss proved proflUbie witn wis . it -m nrovs very valu- -u,- i..t . ith the new sroduct. black barley, which rival corn in fat-produe "!L?.0TfirL ti Introduction Of this wonderful gTsin into Baker nT and Its usefulness Is about as follows: . . A, little mors than tnres yes V. Swift, an sntsrprising young . was riding in ths hills near Lower Pow der valley when he cams up with an Immigrant from Utah who m.Mddu I a home in eastern vnfuu. ... tha mm trut , leeainc - nw a pecuUar purple-black grain, and on Inquiry found that it was.bck barlsy which was grown quits extensively in Utah. Mr. Bwlft bscams rawrwwa a ths peouliar'1 grain and purchased the immigrant's stock for about 1 cents per pound. He found that he had ev eral pounds of a most peculiar grain which was larger than wheat, very plump, weighed more than any grain he had ever seen, and added to thess pe culiarities was its uncommon v purpls blsck color - ' !"- ir ' " TlsldS OOOd 'CropV , r.C:; tt. Ma "find" that season en fresh plowed strong alkali ground and was rewarded iwith . a bountiful crop. The next season It was again sown on heavy soil and although sown very thin it yielded very heavily, v Foev last season ho had enough of the grain to seed does to 17 acres. It was planted too thick, however, ana muon wi : uw grain was lost in harvesting, but the ne yield was a trine less rasa bushels per aore. .... . r than found himself la possession of enough of ths grain to maks experi ments in feeding, which he conducted under the experienced eye of H. M. Cott rill, an Illinois corn feeder. After tests nn fcna. horses and cattle, Mr. Cottrtll does toot heslUte to pronounce the grain the equal of corn, if not its superior, in fattening qualities for any stock. The comparative heavy weight of the grain, its neeullar oily nature, and the fact tnat it is huskleas, makes it imperative that a less amount than of other grain be fed to. produce a given result. The average weight or a puanej or wis gram is 70 pounds. i, ' This grain brings witn x ws neces sary embodiments to maks it ths most productive crop which can be raised in Baker valley. . It seems to tnnvs on alkali ground and will thus add to the acreage of tillable land of the valley. , All of Mr. Swift's experiments hava been conducted on ths dry farming plan, and his . suocesj wou:d seem to mean much to the ranchers of Oregon. This grain will prove of much value to stock raisers, eomblning as it does a propor tionately heavy yield with excellent nu tritive qualities, DROPS OF WATER TEST Number That a Skeptical Student In y Parla Could Stand. - A drop of water, even three or roar dropsy falling on ths head seems aching unworthy of attention; nevertheless in China a slow and ' continuous dropping of water on the head has been found to be a method of torture under whioh the most hardened criminal abjectly howls for mercy, ! . When, a professor la ...thsv Sorbonne stated this to his class the other day, says the London Chronicle, one of the students laughed incredulously, and said it would take a good deal of that sort of thing to affect him. The professor assured htm that even one quart of water dropped siowly onto his hand would be beyond his endur ance. He agreed to experiment. "' A quart measure filled with water was brought in, a microscopic hole was bored in the bottom and ths perform ance began, the professor counting. During ths first hundred drops the- student made airy, remarks. With ths second hundred he began to look less cheerful, then gradually all his talk died away, and his - face took on a haggard, tortured expression. With the third hundred the hand began to swell and look red. The pain Increased to tor ture. 'Finally the skin broks. " At ths four hundred and twentieth drop the sceptlo acknowledged his doubts vanished and-begged for mercy. Hs could bear no, more. a peramouiauon of the town, . kissing every laay wnom they met and demand ing a' penny from every male house bolder. 1 ',... - . a x-: The sum thus obtained served to pur chass oranges for. : scrambling among the crowd of children who followed in their footsteps. Ths .ladies took the kissing in good part, and the maids paid np smilingly. . v : Meanwhile tne HocKtide Jury was transacting- more serious business in the town hall, electing a constable, who is both a coroner and a mayor, alai ap pointing keepers of the keys of 'xthe common coffer, bailiff, portreeve and i inv nartv i . . . ; - Otner : sduvui, wuuh auues sra rather poscuro. ... e How to Prevent Nightmare. 1 . Referring to the frequency with which unpleasant dreams, and more particular ly the classical nightmare, occur. Dr. Kehrer, the Munich specialist says: .

The little lad had toddled four mlles,1 and the dog tagged along behind, watch ing' him and guarding him.
