jority of the people are of the opinion
that it came from somewhere m Eastern
Oregon while the minority claim that it
was wafted to our vicinity from the
central states. However, from all re
ports received from Sherman county it

dancers, etc. Gaylor himself is most

as the occasion requires.
mere is a nveiy opposition among
salmon buyers on the Columbia river
this season. The caeh buyers are more
numerous than they have been for many
years and the number of gasoline
launches employed far exceeds that of
any other eeason. Competition is so
keen among them that many of the
older and most responsible buyers are
talking of quitting the business. They
say the new buyers resort to all kinds of
schemes to secure salmon. They operate
on the river from Tongue point up to
the mouth ot the Willamette and on
both sidefl of the river. They meet the
boats on the river and pay cash for the
salmon. This is a convenience to fisher
men, as by disposing of their fish in this
manner they save several hours which
would be consumed in pulling to the
canneries to deliver their catch. Some
of the launches are in the employ of the
cold storage and private canneries, and
otten pay nan a cent a pound in excess
of the regular price in order to induce
the fishermen to sell them their fish.

GRASSES FOR EASTERN OREGON.
O, R. & K. Co.
Experimenting: All Along
the Cine.
Eastern Oregon has a great divereity
of soils and altitudes, and how to make
its bleak and bare spots produce and
put up for their war taxes is one of the
laudable ambitions of the O. B.& N. Co.,
which is making persistent efforts to
develop the natural resources of the
country. The problem of making the
rich areas produce is no problem at all
for they show for themselves, and need
only the necessary working. Taken in
the aggregate, the unproductive spots
comprise a large area, and if they can
lie made to do their share of the gen
eral work, the breadstuff j of the world
will show an im.T.ense increase. '
At Telocassett, Grande Ronde Valley,
the O. R. & N. Co., is having three and
a half acres sown to ten varieties of
grasses, and when the survival of the
fittest shall show which of the grasses is
the most successful in defying sterility,
drouth and tempest, that kind will be
pread pretty promiscuously througout
similar localities. A. B. Lckenby has
charge of the seeding. He is an expert
on grasses, and agrostologist for the
Pacific coast division of the United
States department of agriculture.
Among these ten varieties, the kinds
that inspire the most confidence is Brown
grass. It Is a kind that refuses to be
Bat down upon by wind or weather.
Mr. Leckenby is going to supervise for
the O. R. & N. Co. the setting out of
fifty sacks of Bermuda grass roots that
the traffic department has just received
from Freeno, Cal. They are to be set
out at Bigzs, Waso. Grants, Blalock,
Arlington, Wallula, Riparia, Walla
Walla and Rowena. A special effort is
to be made to get this Bermuda grass to
grow on sand-land along the O. R. & N.
lines, where it might serve the double
purpoee of anchoring the drifting sands
and affording good pasture for stock.
Bermuda grass generally defies drought
and makes a thick sod, and keeps ever
lastingly green. The roots may be
pulled up, hung on a clothes-line for a
few weeks, then replanted, and they
will come up smiling and make green
the landscape. A stray root fell off a
brakebeam In the Portland Terminal
Company's yard two years ago, and al
though it has been constantly kept
awake nights by switch engines and
owl trains, it has spread to a patch
seven feet square now, and looks pros
perous, and as though glad it is alive.
