The following excellent article on wheat and flour production In Umu tllla county was written for the Coast Magazine by E. W. McComas, the plonneer farmer and wheat buyer of this city: Umatilla county the banner wheat county of the great state of Oregon, owes Us unique distinction, to the fact that annually it produces 1 per cent of all the wheat grown In the United States, or 8,000,000 bushels. The county has a total acreage in round numbers of 2,000.000; the acre age available for growing the cereals, wheat and barley Is estimated at 650, 000; of this acreage, some 140,000 acres are embraced in the Umatilla Indian reservation, and about 60,000 acres are yet In the nature of home stead filings, und government land, open for entry Much of this acreage Is yet in use as pasture land, but Is gradually but surely being reclaimed for cereals The lands embraced in the Indian reservation are farmed by renters, who pay the Indian from 13 to 18 per acre for the use of the land for a term of two yeara The greater part of this Indian land Is the most pro lific grain land in the county, pre duclug, In many Instances, 60 bushels to the acre As the Indian, through Inheritance or otherwise, la enabled to obtain patents to the land, It Is be ing sold to the renters and converted into homes and highly tilled farma. The acreage not used for growing cereal crops Is diversified, the east ern and extreme southern part of the county Is mountainous and supplies much valuable timber, the balance of tin land is used for grazing by the Cattle raisers and sheepmen, who are counted among the factors of this rich county. Quite an acreage of hitherto barren and desert lands are now be ing reclaimed by the United States government and private Irrigation companies . Summer fallowing as a method of farming is followed exclusively, I. e.: The land is plowed in the early .spring and remains In this state with frequent cultivations to conserve the moisture and destroy weed and other foul growths, until the following fall, when it Is seeded, thus producing' a crop once In two years; this, in fact, being the method of farming followed in all the groat area of country west of the Rocky mountains. Scientists and theoretical farmers continue to proclaim against this as a false method, u waste of time and sure impoverishment of the soil Against their contention we have the practical wheut grower, with a large balance In the local banks, California in the winter and autombilcs galore, ind whilst the scientist continues to visit the farming communities and argue at so much per talk against the method he has as yet failed to ac quire a wheat farm to demonstrate that he can raise more on the land, than the practical farmer. As to values, possibly, In no other wheat-growing section is there such a wide range, the prices paid for these jands ranging from 812 to 8100 per acre. Transportation facilities are of the best. The Oregon Railway & Navi gation company and Northern Pa cific railroad both tap the wheat belt, making a market for the crop at Portland,, Puget Sound and the eastern grain centers The Colum bia river Is the northwestern boun dary of the county and with Improve ments now under way by the United States government, will 'within a few years carry a large portion of the grain to the Portland market. A railroad Is now being projected to tap the wheat fields and connect with boats on the river at Cold Springs. Wheat Is the principal crop, and with an nfinual production of 6,000, 000 bushels. Of barley, the estimated production is being Increased yearly, most of the newly broken lands be ing sown to this crop. Oats and rye are grown only on a limited scale., Tho combined harvesters at the present day is the most popular meth od of harvesting, about throe-fourthR of the crop now being harvested in this manner, the balance being cut by headers and threshed by stationary machines. The enormous wheat crop of the county has naturally made this a fa vored section for flour mills and there arc at tho present time in active operation six large plants at the fol lowing points: At Pendleton, the Pendleton Roller Mills. W. S. Byers, proprietor; ca paclty, 800 barrels dally. This Is the pioneer mill of this section. The present proprietor was the original builder and af its Inception much of the grnln ground came from the neighborhood of Walla Walla, whilst at the present time, of the 1,000,000 bushels ground annually, nine-tenths are delivered at the mill; also Walters Flouring Mill, Fred Walters, propri etor; capacity 400 barrels dally. This mill has recently been reno vated and Its capacity Increased. Like the other mill at this point, most of the wheat ground Is delivered at the mill door. Both of these mills enjoy a large local trade, as well as a grow ing export business, and both are op erated by water power from the Umatilla river. At Milton the Peacock Mill compa ny, J. S. Elam, proprietor; capacity, 600 barrels dally. This plant operates two mills at above points, both are up-to-date, modem mills, with good markets for the output. Operated by wnter power. At Athena. Preston-Parton Milling company, capacity 500 barrels dally. The proprietors of this mill also op erate a milling plant at Waltsburg, Wash. The mill Is operated by elec tric power and enjoys a large and growing trade. At Echo, the Henrietta Mills, W. H. Ateheson, manager; capacity, 100 barrels dally. This Is one of the old est mills In the county, and has re cently been renovated and Its capacity Increased, and being in the heart of the Irrigated country, should soon have a large and lucrative local trade. The quality of the wheat raised In Umatilla county does much to add to the reputation of the flour, which. In deed, has a world-wide reputation for strength and color, as Is evidenced by the fact that at the Chicago exposition the medal wns awarded the flour manufactured by the Pendleton Roller Mills, against competition from the entire world. Portland Heights Selected as Practice Grounds for National Guard General orders have been issued from the office of Adjutant General W. E. Finzer, O. N. G., governing small arms practice for the season beginning May 1 and ending October 31. says the Oregon Dally Journal. The Portland companies will use the rifle rango on Portland Heights until the new range on the Sandy riv er Is completed. The state military board has secured an option on a 120 acre tract near Troutdale. It is ex pected that the negotiations for the purchase of the land will be con cluded this week, when General Fin zer will immediately let a contract for the construction of a 1300-yard rifle range. It is not probable how ever, tbat the new range win bt meantime the local companies will completed before June 16, and in the use the old range. Upon the completion of the Trout dale range every national guard com pany In the state will be equipped with an excellent rifle range. The tract near Troutdale is almost dead lvel for over 1300 yards and is ad mirably situated for the purpose of a rifle range. In the order Issued by General Finzer governing small arms practice, the guardsmen are urfced to devote as much time as is possible to gallery practice from now until tha season for range practice begins Made Quick Catch of Thief. One of the best fecords for a quick capture by a policeman in this city was made this afternoon about 3 o'clock by George Roff, who, within minutes after he had been given a description of an alleged horsethlef, wanted in Pendleton, went out on the street and got his man, says the Wal la Walla Bulletin. Aaron Ridge Is the man wanted in Pendleton for stealing a horsr there last night. Some people mistake pity for con sideration; It Is upt manly to degrade a fool.

The "pure food law" is designed by the government to protect the public from Injurious Ingredients in both foods and drugs. It is beneficial both to the public and to the conscientious manufacturer. Ely's Cream Balm, a successful remedy for cold in the head, nasal catarrh, hay fever, etc., containing no Injurious drugs, meets fully tho requirements of the new law, and that fact Is prominently stated on every package. It contains none of the Injurious drugs which are re quired by the law to be mentioned on the label. Hence you can use It safely. If you see It in the East Oregonlan. tt'S N.
