on a large scale near Luldir.w, hav
ing a ranch of 1000 acres. La sea
son they sowed a ton of alfalfa seed
and got very good results from It.
Part was sowed alone, the remainder
with grain. That planted alone made
better growth, but the entire planting
did very well.
Mr.. Gerking Is an extensive land
owner In Umatilla county. Three
years ago he was offered $93 an acre
for a 240-acre tract, but refused to
sell. He. like so many others who
have had experience with Irrigated
countries, has great faith in the Des
Chutes valley, and looks for a rapid
development here.

From Athena.
C. A. Barrett, the well known
Athena merchant, has been in the city
today attending the hardware dealers'
meeting. In speaking this morning
of the conditions In his part of the
county. Mr. Barrett said;
"Seldom Is the farming-outlook at
this time of the year as favorable as It
is at present. There was considera
ble moisture during the fall, and to
this has been added the snow which
has fallen within the post few weeks,
but which is now all melted. As a
result the wheat Is doing splendidly.
though It Is not so far advanced as
has been known at this season."
Regarding county politics Mr. Bar
rett says that so far but little Interest
has been taken by his townsmen, and
there is not much political discussion.
There Is a general desire, tie says, to
wait until the situation has developed
more fully. So far no candidates for
circuit Judge have appeared from the
Athena bar.

"BARON" WAXTS HIS RIGHTS.
Illustration of the "Things" to Which
American Girls Are Married.
Because he Is a baron, the world,
or at least his father-in-law, owes him
a living, Is the creed of a dapper, di
minutive, debonair German who calls
himself Baron Max Selgfrled von
Schweldler Schwartxenburg. says a
Cleveland dispatch. He has Just come
here to demand his "rights" of Phil
J. Keldel, a wealthy grocer, whose
daughter he married.
The baron wants to be suppmted.
Miss Keldel met the man ab.-ond.
he says, and was married to him nine
years ago. He claims It caused him
to be disinherited. A separation took
place about a year ago because thty
had no money and the baron did n jt
work.
"What could we do?" says the bar
on. "I cannot maintain a fanill.-. I
have no trade.
"My father-in-law allowed us all
the money we needed during the lirst
year. We spent considerable time in
PnrlH and Monte Carlo. I recall low.
as I speak of It, that I lost SI 2.000 ft
the Casino while there. But that was
a mere bagatelle."
At lost accounts the father-in-law
seemed Indifferent to the alleged
value of titles.

Buys Site of Forestry Building.
After a short wrangle yesterday the
city council passed on ordinance ap
propriating 3 i 4,000 to purchase two
acres of ground as a site for the
forestry building at the Lewis and
Clark exposition. In nil probability
Mayor Itne will sign the ordinance,
says the Oregon Dally Journal. Coun
cllmen Kushllght. Kellaher, Sharkey
and Menefee opposed the purchase of
the building, contending Hint the 114.
ouo could be expended In some other
channel that would be of greater
benefit to the people. When they
saw that they would be defeated they
attempted to reduce the appropria
tion to 310.500, which would purchase
only one and one-half ucres of land,
which they said would be sufficient.
They failed lo carry this point and
then attempted to postpone action for
two weeks, but this also failed.
