1 AKMI.KS AND THEORISTS.
The news dispatches from Washing
ton say that the agricultural depart
ment will furnish experts from east
ern colleges to Instruct the farmers:
on the Minidoka government Irriga
tion project In raising irrigated crop ;
The F.ast Oregonian can now imag
ine the scorn with w hich a one-gallu 1 1
rancher from the sagebrush- would i
contemplate an "expert" irrlgationist J
from an,. pastern college.
It would be laughable to hear some
of these old reteians who came to the
west and settled on a wilderness farm
40 years ago, taking their first lessor,
from a dandy b"y from a tip top col
lege, where everything was fumlshe',
free and Uncle Sam "footed the bill."
The irrigation which is known to
the old veteran of the west has been
harned from grim contact with tho
arth. He found nothing but the
land and the stream, and it was up to
him to originate ways to unite th
two with whatever methods might be
at hand.
And yet we must not disparage the
educated Irrigatlonist for the system
of agriculture Is Improving in the.
United States about as rapidly as any
other line of Industry and while the
actual farmer knows well what he
has learnei from experience, yet the
erperimenters and book farmers hav
cMsccvored many new schemes and
made many advances. Uniting , the
wisdom of the actual farmer with the
. theory of the speculative farmer
should be productive of excellent
fruits.
The Intention of the government is
gooc. And the result of the coming
of the expiits to the newly reclaimed
projects will lift farming from a
drudtrery to the plane of a more sci
entific and elevating industry. All
k"owledge Is power.
NEW Ill'Il.niXn MATERIALS.
The announcement of a Brooklyn
ti.gineer that the pyramids which
have withstood the storms of centuries
are made of concrete blocks and arn
not of stone, fs of more than passing
interest, even In Pendleton.
The scarcity and high price of
buildins material has brought the
matter of securing new kinds of ma
terial before the public. Among the
modern materials which are now
making good headway Is the concrete
block, which has proved to be sub-

COl.l.KIT Till-. Tl.
Tl'e county court of Umatilla county
h:s ordered the delinciuent personal
tax IN: segregated and placed 111 form
he
ll"eled and It Is hoped will
prot-ee.1 Willi
the collection of ev.-ry
cent of thl. overdue tax. at once.
Tax deuirers have f.iund tiiat by
paving on their real estate and hold
ing hack the amoimt due on their per.
sonal assessment, they could in this
way escape paying their just share of
the taxes. There are now several
thousand dcllars due on the personal
tax !Nt from men who are amply able
to pay their full tux.
It has become a custom to dodge
In this way. Men with plenty of
money, drawing hUh interest on notes
and 'i (.-counts, have taken an undue
advantage of the county In this way
jtu shirk their burden, with the result
I that taxes are higher than they should
be.
M n who should be ashamed to re
sort ti this dodge are found on the
list and the court will he justified ir.
incurring extra expense to collect from
this class of tax dodgers every cent
due, with costs added.
When a poor man having,.! tract
of real estite becomes delinquent, the
coun'y quickly levies upon his land
and he is forced to pay or lose title
to his land. I'.ut the rich jnoney
lender with his property in profitable
notes, mortgages and accounts be
comes delinquent with impunity and
no et'foit has been made in the past
to culled this form of delinqu-'nt
tax--;:.
The expense of levying on personal
property ha? been placed upon the
sheriff, through a mistake in the law.
and for the reason that making the
Irvi. s would more than consume the
salary of the sheriff, f.-w collections of
delinquent personM taxes have been
made.
The court should not only segre
gate and enroll the delinquents on till
list, but should provide Mr the im
mediate collection of this long over
due tax.
The county needs it. The .tax
dodger should not be tolerated any
longer.
ifkit:i;sox ix ikos axd limn.
The Philadelphia linruire.' says:
"Thomas Jtffoiion tievei taught any
such doctrine as government owner
ship of railroads." "Of course not,"
says the Memphis News-Selmltar
"There were no railroads in this
country in J-fferson's time.
"Hut Jefferson was in favor of
government ownership of a public
road from the scat of the general
government to St. Louis. This may
be s.en by perusal of his message to
congress of date February 19, 1S0S.
The public roads then were to
commerce just what the railroads are
today, and Jefferson clearlv favored
the laying out, construction and con
trol of the great public highways by
(he federal government.
"It will be very difficult to show a
difference hi principle between gov
ernment ownership of the highways
then and government ownership of the
railroads now.
CORN CROP IN 10 STATES.
Ten states, Including the seven sur
plus corn states and Texas, Tennessee,
and Kentucky, have promise of a corn
crop this year of 1,914,000,000 bush
els. Ten years ago this would have
been considered a large crop for the
entire country, as for years a 2,000,-
000.000 bushel crop was looked upon
as a bumper yield.
The condition of corn September
1 of 90.2 was the highest for Sep
temDf.r ince i896 wnen it was 91, and

A croii that w ill produce $13.41111 to
the ai-rt has been discovered in Brazil
accovdli i to a repirt to the depart
ment of commerce and labor, from
United States t'onsul General George
F.. Anderson, at llio de Janeiro. It Is
the Brazilian linen, and several ex
perimental plantations are making an
effort to ut It into practical use.
According to the consul general's
report, the plant grows 12 to IS feet
high and somewhat resembles hemp
it matures so rapidly that a field will
produce three cropa a var. The f -her
has strength, firmness, flexibility,
end adaptability for bleaching and
dying.
)t may revolutionize the linen In
dus ry of the wo-M i.nd become un
important compi loor of cotton. An
acre will produce T7 tons and the pro-
duet includes n.t only the various
grades of fiber for fine or coarse
linen, but steins ami roots can b
used for rank I inr paper.
The suggestion is made that the ag
ricultural department should invest!
gate this wonderful plant, and see If
It can he produced In the portions of
the United States that are free from
frost. The plant Is said to be "abso
lutely hardy, resisting alike the dry
or rainy season; bearing equally well
on dry or wet soil, and not a prey to
iuseets or mildew.'
FRENCH NEWSPAPER FIRST.
The credit of publishing the first
regular newspaper belongs to France.
This paper, which was called the Ga
zette of France, was founded In 1632,
n the reign of Louis XIII, by Theo-
phrastus Renaudot.
In England the first newspaper
was published In 1662 by rsathanlel
Butter. The name of the sneet is un
certain. In 1656 the first Dutch pa
per was minted. It contained two
small folio pages of news. In the
Imperial library at St. Petersburg are
two copies of the first Russian news
paper, which have the date of 1703.
There are also some proofs of the
same paper on which are corrections
written in the hand of Peter the
Great. This monarch took great In
terest in the paper and personally su
perintended its editorial composition.
The first paper established in North
America was the Boston News-Letter
which first was Issued April 24. 1704.
This paper was printed on a sheet 12
Inches by eight and contained two
columns of news. It survived until
"6. It advocated the cause of the
British government at the outbreak of
the revolution.
Where Sheep Thrive.
Sheep are common on th Cordll
leras, at an elevation of from 3300
feet to 8200 feet, within which limits
they propagate readily; but the re
verse is the case In hotter regions, It
being difficult to rear lambs on the
plains of Pluta, and no sheep are
met with from the river to the foot of
the Cordilleras, though their skins
being in demand for parchment, sell
as high as those of the ox.
Thunberg says that sheep were at
one time the scarcest itrtlcle In Ba-
tavia, their wooly coat rendering the
heat of the climate Insupportable;
but this was remedied by sending
them, on their arrival from the Cape,
to the Blue mountains, where the air
l many degrees colder.
In tropical countries the fleece ap
proaches more to hair than wool
The sheep of Tibet are celebrated for
their silky coat. Sheep brought from
the Cape were taken for some un
known animal from the furry nature
of the wool. The changes occasioned
bv climate are limited to tho fleece,
horns, and disposal of the fat, and
never extend to the digestive organs,
or to anv of those parts on the per
manence of which the animal depends
for Its place In the scale of beings.
llcuvy Crop In India.
India, according to tho reports re
ceived by the department of commerce
has the largest wheat crop this year
It has had In a long time. The area
sown amounts to more than 26,000,
000 acres and the yield Is estimated
at S.HOO.OOO tons, which Is 1.000,000
tons more than the yield of last year.
It Is expected thnt this will have fin
appreciable effect upon the price of
wheat In tho markets of the world,
as preparations are being made for
extensive exports to England.
The Australian wool clip for the
season of 1905-8 Is valued at 124,
905,462, and tho Incrense In exports
over the previous season was $24,665,
014. At the end of 1905 there were
93.316,645 sheep In Australia, an In
crense of 10,517,031 over 1904, which
is by far the greatest addition to the
flocks which has taken place for many
years.
