The farmers around Lebanon, in Linn
county, have a doable harvest. When
the grain is harvested they haul their
straw to the papei mill and receive 10
cents a hundred pounds for it.. An or
dinary team can draw 4000 pounds or
more at a load, so, instead of burning
their straw, they make $4 a day haul
ing it to the paper mill. The putting
away of the straw in sheds and stacking
it gives employment to some thirty or
forty men at $1.50 to $1.75 per day. The
work of getting in the straw began this
week.

CLONDYKE FARMING.
low a Farmer Hade SJ3B,ooo In Klsjnt-
een Months Raising; Wheat.
ighteen months ago a certain farmer,
fitho trades in Pendleton, lost his land
py foreclosure of the mortgage npon it
fend found himself with some farming
machinery, - horses . and wagons, which
e hardly knew what to do with.' The
idea occured to him to rent some reser
vation land and make one more attempt
at raising wheat. He did so and at
once set to work to put about 2000 acres
in wheat the next fall. He secured as
sistance from a friend who had more
confidence in the farmer than the farmer
bad in himself. The land was thorough
ly worked and the wheat well put in.
The favorable season came, and with it
came a great crop and a great price.
The result is the farmer finds himself.
after paying all expenses, with wheat on
hand worth at least $35,000. Within
another sixty days he expects to have
the wheat sold and the sum named to
his credit in bank, and if he should get
75 cents a bushel for it, he will haye
$44,000 as the profit of a year and a half
of hard work.
But this is an exceptional year. Clon
dyke, farming in Eastern Oregon dates
from 1897. There are over one hundred
rmers in Umatilla county who have
1 eared this Beason from $7000 to $35,000

The teachers' institute closed yester
day a moBt successful meeting and today
most of those who attended returned to
their homes delighted at having had the
opportunity to attend it. Notwithstand
ing the petulance of our newspaper
brother out at Dufur, the teachers from
that neighborhood are well satisfied and
consider the $2.50 contributed well
spent. The county superintendent Real
izing the expense incurred in attending
the institute, and the inability of some
to attend, has never thought of revoking
certificates for non-attendance, believing
that all who could do so, would be pres
ent. From most of those not attending;
letters were received explaining their
reasons for remaining away, and ex
pressing regret i here for. Superintend

intelligent and cunning and was really
the cause of the crowd gathering, as it
was full of surprises filling Josh Bill
