Pendleton, April 3.
Editor East Oregonian: The Ques
tion which seems uppermost in the
different sections of the state at the
present time is how best can they se
cure inelr share of the desirable
homeseekers who are now coming
oy me tnousands.
Umatilla county with its two mil
lion acres of land an. by the adoption
or modern methods of diversified
farming, support at least four times
its present population.
Then Pendleton should be a city of
i least za.uuu inhabitants. We have,
comparatively, a very small amount
of rich bottom land along our vari
ous rivers and streams. The opera
tion of our best wheat land Is prof
itable but not capable under its pres
ent extensive management, of main
taining a sufficient population to in
sure a permanent or lasting prosper
ity io me community.
The stock interests from a ran ire
standpoint, does not add materially
io our population. Our timber and
mining Industries are limited. Now
what inducements can we offer tn
the farmers of the East, of moderate
means to come and settle among us?
iney, as a rule, are frugal, indus
trious men, who are not much In.
cllned to take great risks, but are
content with smaller profits than it
lanes to satisfy the native western
man.
Rkising wheat exclusively looks
rinky and expensive to them. Stock
raising, by the range system, is new to
them and also looks hazardous. In
fact, a country that will admit of
condensed and diversified farming is
wnaj ipost ot these newcomers are
looking for. The next question Is:
Will Umatilla county admit of this
kind of farming?
Thirty-five and 40 years ago the
man in Iowa who undertook to dem
onstrate that red clover, timothy and
fruit could be produced there, was
laughed at by his neighbors.
Today the most profitable field
crop there is red clover, and the land
that is producing two tons, of clover
there, per acre, Is selling from $76 to
$100 per acre.
A few days ago I examined a patch
of alfalfa on the vacant lot Just north
of Dr. Cole's residence on North Main
street. It has had no care and has
been there for 12 or 15 years. The
soil is not to exceed three feet In
depth and Is poor at that; but this
alfalfa looks as rich and strong as any
red clover I ever saw In Iowa and I
believe with proper care and stand
it would produce in one crop from
one and a half to two tons per acre,
besides there would be considerable
fall and winter pasture.
Dry-land alfalfa Is practically the
same food for horses, cattle and hogs
as red clover, and I am inclined to
think it is the forage plant that will
eventually reclaim this dry land of
ours that is now considered almost
worthless.
I would like to see the Fair associa
tion or the Commercial association
take steps to demonstrate the value
of the plant.
A hundred-acre field of fine grow
ing alfalfa on some of the hills near
Pendleton would be a tenfold better
advertisement than the pamphlets and
fine pictures that are being distribut
ed to the homeseeker, and would cost
less money.
Demonstrate to the Eastern farmer
that this land will produce a crop
every year equal to their red clover
crop and he can locate here on 80
acres of land and support a family
well with his cows, chickens and pigs.
Respectfully,
GEO. R. ROBERTS.
War on Canada Thistles.
Isadore Fuchs has cooked up
bunch of business for the next grand
Jury. He says the law concerning the
permitting of Canada thistles in Can
ada to even exist is drastic, and in
stead of warning the derelicts, he pro
poses, when the time comes to engage
the attention of the prosecuting at
torney and the grand Jury with the
thistle issue.
He says: "They are going to be
bad this year. From the present in
dications and I notice some fellows
here in town who are talking very
strongly upon the present output of
the last grand Jury who ought to be
out getting rid of their thistles. You
bet, I mean business and I will have
my evidence when the next grand
Jury meets. Yes, sir; I am In for re
forms, when they affect the product
iveness of the country. Down with
the thistles and into the Jails with
the men who permit them." Baker

incurable consumption, his last hope
vanished; but Dr. King's New Dis

says: "This great specific complete

Every department has its bargains this week
The Fair Department Store
IS
SENTENCED UNDER THE
COGNOMEN OF BENNETT.
He Is Now Suspected of Complicity In
the Escape and Arming of Tracy
and Merrill, a Crime Which Carries
With It the Death Penalty Ben
nett (Monte) Sent Up From This
County for Burglary.
Charley Monte, the Salem convict
against whom there is strong evidence
showing him to be one of the men
who supplied Tracey and Merrill with
their deadly 30-30 Winchesters before
their break, Is from this county and
was taken there by Sheriff Taylor in
1902, being sentenced to six years for
burglary.
Since the publication of the story
connecting Monte, or Bennett, as he
was known here, with the Tracey
and Merrill affair, his capture and
short stay here have been recalled,
and makes a very Interesting story.
Bennett was wanted for having rob
bed the Richardson store at Helix,
late In 1902, and was captured by
Sheriff Taylor near Olbbon on De
cember 2. He was found In a camp
near that place, and was preparing
to take a freight train when taken
by the sheriff.
On the records In the sheriff's of
fice the name of W. Bennett appears,
and It was as such that the man was
sentenced to serve six years In the
penitentiary. His photograph, which
was taken while he was here, and is
now in the sheriffs gallery, Is the
same from which the cut which ap
peared In the Portland papers was
made, and shows a heavy-faced man
with a big neck.
Monte, or Bennett, Is one of two
who are suspected of having smug
gled the guns Into the work room of
the penitentiary and thus made It
possible for Tracey and Merrill to
make their escape. The other man Is
now a convict In the Walla Walla
prison. Should the evidence be such
as to cause their conviction for the
offense, they will both have to pay
the death penalty, as they would be
guilty of murder In the first degree,
being accessories before the act.
When taken by Sheriff Taylor
here, Bennett had been out of the
penitentiary but about six months,
during which time he is supposed to
have helped his former fellow-eon-vlcts.
