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.
Ill SEll LANDS OF SPOKANE HE

affairs has authorized a favorable re

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.
