Development ProffTei Ja. Tho development of the agricultural lands of central and eastern Oregon Is being curried on by a number of strong organizations more or leas clonojy at lied with the railroads building Into that section of the state. The St. Paul corporation, which took on one. of th large land grants extending ffom the Cascades o the eastern bordqr of tho tate, haH sold over 200,000 acres since January 1. A large portion of this vast domain was purchased by middle west farmers who plan to come to Ore- con to liVe. President f'nrl R. Gray of tho Great Northern- railroad, while traveling through central Oregon aome wecka ago, predicted that the five counties, Sher man, Wasoo, Crook, Lake and Harney, comprising central Oregon, would In a few years becom the granary of th northwest. "It is estimated that ona third of th acreage of Wasco and Crook countl U susceptible to cultivation," said Presi dent Gray, "and It may bo ansumed that these fivle counties contain 5,000.000 acres of tillable land. Ther ar at present between 750.000 and 800.000 acres of land In the various Irrigation segregations, and there are also 1,000, 000 acres which will come, within this category within the next few years. I am sure that all this land 1 adapted to cultivation. When oh appreciate the magnitude of these figures ths pos sibilities are positively staggering. Th Cry lag zrd.

"Th Importance of this new territory to the whole country is readily seen when the wheat statistics are consid ered.
