This year unless something happens more than is expected, she will about double that. Up to date there has been at cast $S,0liu worth of residence and Improvements on private property. At the present time there arc two new residences alreadv near comple tion, and four ready t"o start just as soon as material can be had. The Milton lumber yards are hav ing a hard time to get stock and can't keep It longer than its unload ed when they do get It There are al ready two yards here and William Fletcher is putting in a largo yard in Freewater. He says that ho is put ting it in for the future, for he be lieves that there's a great future in store for this town, and it won't bo many years before Milton and Kree water will all ho under one govern ment, and all that vacant space in around the depot will be filled up with nice icsidences, stores, etc. Whether It will be or not, we can't say, but we see no reason why It should not be so. There is talk of a large two-stoiy brick building going up in Frecwnter. The Nichols-Davis brick, a story and a half by 54x100. Is about half way up. This has already been leas ed to John Smith, of Walla Walla, for a period of several years to be used as an agricultural and Impllment house. The building will be divided into two apartments. The first will be 20x100 feet deep; the second will be 34xltK) feet, with a cemented base ment the same size. The building will be fitted throughout with ail tho modern equipments of the latest fash ion. They expect to havo It ready for occupancy by the 10th of Sentcm- i her. The old bakery building has been removed from the place which it has occupied lor the last 20 or 25 years, and excavation has begun for a large brick store room in Its place. This when completed wilj be one of the best business rooms'ln town. It will be 3Sxl00. with cemented basement full size. The Bee Hive store, that stands next to it, no doubt will be moved out soon and a brick erected in its stead. Its NforH Has the large demand for Byers' Best Flom built up.

Dr James Withycombe, of the Ore gon Agricultural College, of Corvallls, has been at Umatilla for a few days, superintending tho erection and ar rangement of some tanks for experi ments In technical Irrigation at that place. Tho college Is greatly inteiested in the subject of irrigation and conducts a series of experiments, constantly, In different kinds of soil and in differ ent climates. The Umatilla district I was chosen lor a number oi soil tests.' as it represents most nearly tho arid country, and would give the most ac- cuiate results In dry land oxperl- i meats. I The technical procebs of these ex-1 pertinents will be to treat a certain i quantity of soil with water, and by -chemical analysis and scientific ob-1 serration to determine how much water applied to this character of soil I is wasted by evaporation, how much j enters the growing plants and how much passes away in absorption with' i out giving strengtti to tne son or nourishment to the vegetation In the soil. Five galvanized tanks holding about 1.000 pounds of soli each, have been placed in position und In thos will be put a representative quality ot aild soil, seeded to alfalla. Care ful tests of lrrigat'"" in the different methods employed iu the mid dis trlcts will be made on this soli, with a view to determining 'he exact amount of water needed to produce crops. The experiments will be watched with luterest by IrrlgBtoi s in Kastern Oregon, as It will ultimately determ ine the value of much ot the sandy land of Umatilla and adjoining counties.
