Surveyor Sharp handed to the county
court today his report, containing the
survey of the proposed new road from

and a grade of only a foot to the rod for
1,000 J'eet. The road bed is 25 feet
wide. Survevor SharD estimates that
Kthe sum total of cuts and fills will
imount to 9,750 cubic yards. The con
duction of the road will be submitted

estimate is thought to be about $2,500.
Mr. Sharp has taken great pains in this
work, and his maps and drawings indi
cate accurately the shape of the ground,
its formation, distances and measure
ments, so that contractors will have
data needed for an intelligent idea as
the work to be done.

Kaffir Corn in Wasco County.
In response to a request made some
time since om.The Chronicle for an ex
perience in raising Kaffir corn by some
farmer, Mr. J. C. Wheeler of Hood
pRiver furnishes us the following, which
will be read with interest by all those
having an interest in the production of
this valuable cereal. Mr. S. L. Brooks
of this city has ordered and proposes to
plant three bushels of seed in Sherman
county the coming season :

Kansas, for ten kinds of forage plant
seeds, incluking red and white Kaffir
corn, yellow and -white Milo maize,
Jerusalem corn, brown Dourrha corn,
Amber and African sorghum and two
kinds of millet. I planted one-tenth of
an acre of each kind on May 11th. All
was slow to germinate, but finally
started fairly well. The yellow Milo
maize outgrew everything, produc
ing large hills seven feet high.' The
Jerusalem corn a good second; then

Tl&e Oood Templars.
The Dalles Lodge, No. 2, 1. O. G. T.,
on Saturday night had a rousing meet
ing at the K. of P. hall. For the good
of the order there was a bebate of ' the
question, Resolved, that pen is mightier
than the sword. The affirmative was
conducted by G. R. Campbell and the
negative by George Ernest Stewart. As
th3 argument became spirited, the ex
citement was Intense. The judges,
Messr. Frazier, Harper and Miss Edna
of all was fertilized at the rate of ten
loads of stable manure to the acre.
One-third of each kind was irrigated.
All was well cultivated and hoed. The
Millet showed the effects of water by
increased growth the most; the yellow
Milo maize the least. , It'grew six feet
high without irrigation. So far as one
experiment goes, yellow Milo maize is
way ahead for my- soil and climate for
fodder. The Jerusalem and Dourrha
corn 8 were the only kinds that perfected
their seed before the frost of Sept. 20th.
Perhaps I ought to add that my friends
living on heavier soil do not consider
my soil as good as theirs and that we
cleared off the pine just ahead, of the
plow. I have no seed to sell .
