KIGIIT PAGES. i'JIIfll 1 The following comprehensive re view of the big wheat farms of ut em Oregon and the practicability of cutting them up Into imall tracts, la from the irrlgon Irlgator and Is wor thy of reproduction In the East Ore gonlan: When It comes to talking about cutting our wheat lands Into smaller tracts there Is a great deal of dust thrown. As a matter of fact only an occa sional wheat tract is suitable for di versified farming, the great bulk of the wheat area in the section east of the Cascades not being suitable for the raisng of fruit as a profitable In dustry. It is not to be supposed that the owners of the best wheat lands In Wasco, Morrow and Umatilla are go ing to dispose of a portion oi their holdings even, and nearty every wheat grower In that region, every successful grower, stands ready to snap up his neighbor's tract and add It to his own, the moment it Is placed on the market As to what extent this change Is going on, we need only mention that In Gilliam. Sherman, Morrow and Umatilla there are now 50 less pub He schools than there were two years ago. Over 50 school buildings stand boarded up, there being no children left in the districts. As to how insistent the wheat farmers are to get all of the land adjoining them and the prices they wiil pay, we may mention that re cently a gentleman owning 40 acres of land adjoining Athena concluded he would plat It into acre-lots and offered It for SI 50 per acre, about S50 more thun the Immedlute land was selling for. He platted it, placed it on the mar ket and sold two of the tracts, and the following day the gentleman own ing adjoining farms purchased the other 38 tracts and added them to his wheat farm. There Is no use In inveighing against those men. They feel that they have the best wheat land on earth and they want to get Just as much of It as they can. It is only human nature. But in each of theso counties there is a large area of bottom land, not adapted to wheat growing. In mak ing a trip up the Heppner branch not long ago we estimated that there were over 5000 acres of choice land along Willow creek, and water enough to take care of every acre of It if set out to fruit. Now, no man in this country should attempt to tackle an orchard of over 20 acres, or at the most, 40 acres. On Willow creek at present the holdings average at least a half socllon, and If you go there to buy 10 to 20 acres you will find you cannot get it at anything like a reasonable price, and yet If the owners would give away half of their area to ac tual settlers in three or four years the remainder would be worth double what it Is all worth today. Take the 5000 acres between Lex ington and the Columbia, and cut i Into 20 acre tracts, and the popula tton would be mounting up, and new schools would be needed, In place of closing one every few weeks. What is true of Willow creek Is true to a greater extent with valleys like that of the Umatilla river, the real bottom lands. And hundreds of other sections offer homes for fru gal people, If the owners would not stand In their own light LookatWasco. See what has been done around Hood River, around Mo- sler, and the possibilities ob dozens of other valleys large and small. Let us, then, start a crusade to get the lands In the valley, along the streams cut up into smaler tracts and consider the wheat lands as some thing we cannot get, and do not want. for the Incoming settlers. And in place of tiding fault with the wheat farmers, let us try and get every acre of these bottom lands Into fruit and alfalfa. A crusade along those lines will accomplish someftilng, but a prooa. ganda to cut up our wheat lands will come to naught. Hotel St. George. R. A. Warren, Spokane; W. H. .Afar tin, Chicago; H. R.

A Wa-dilnflon Ociillht Relieves That, He Can Cure the Oklahoma Keiia tor. Thomas P. Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, Is living In the hope that his sight may be restored. The senator has been blind since he was a hoy. An accidental blow from a playmate deprived him of one eye and soon afterward his remaining eye fulled him. Years ago he reconciled himself to what ho considered his fate. A Washington oculist, Dr. Wllmer, now holds out hope to him. Since enter Ing the senate Mr. Gore has -had oc caslon to consult Dr. Wllmer, who has become deeply Interested In his case. Lust week the oculist suggested an operation. Ho said that he was not sure It would restore the senator's sight, but that ho believed it would, Finally he decided to undergo the op eration. It will be performed In a few days. senator uore is regarded as a very able man among his colleagues In the senate. Despite his blindness he par ticipates In all of the senate proceed ings.
