PENDLETON ML IV GOOD M1TYLEXE FRAKER IS SOLOIST IX ORATORIO. lias Kon a Student of Willnrd ratten for Two Years ami Takes Leading Part in Recent Production of "Isaiah" Set to Music by ratten Himself. The following criticism of Willard Patten's "Isaiah" In the Minneapolis Daily News will be of interest to Pen dleton people for the reason that Miss Mitylene Fraker, the vocalist of whom Pendleton Is Justly proud has been a student of Willard Patten for two years and was the contralto soloist in the production of the Oratorio on which the criticism was written. It is remarkable that none of the ic oratorio composers had antlci- .ed our own Mr. Patten In setting ! m'ehtv t.ronhet Isaiah to music. I For in his extremes of vehemence, ex altation, dejection. and "perfect peace" Isaiah Is a far mightier dra matic character than the dramatis persome of the Creation. Israel. Eli- i production was a modest commem oration of a work of which the com poser and his home city may well be proud. The assisting soloists, specially in the more important tenor and bari tone parts were able and thoroughly capable In the persons of Misses Cook and Fraker, Messrs. Carberry and Rosenthal. Above all the credit for this fine epportunity is due to the composer himself In his added character as trainer of the chorus and as the con ductor. It Is earnestly to be hoped that Mr. Patten may be encouraged to not let more than one year slip by without a presentation of his "Isaiah" with its beautiful and edifying domin ant tone of "Joy and gladness."

Wolgmr O Co., Portland Realty Board Discussed an Imortant Topic Last N'lght. Organization for the purpose of de veloping the farming lands of Oregon was favored at the meeting of the Portland Realty board. In the rooms of the commercial club last evening, says the Telegram. Whitney L. Boise spoke at some length on the subject and his sentiments were endorsed In such a practical manner that the pre liminary steps toward such an or ganization are already uuder way. The Idea Is to have the large tracts of farming lands in the Willamette valley and eastern Oregon cut up In to smaller holdings for the benefit of newcomers Inured to improved sys tems of cultivation. "In Marlon county alone there are tracts of 300 to 4000 acres held un der one ownership," gald Mr. Boise, "and the cultivating of these large tracts Is done In a sMpshod manner, not at all conducive to their produc tiveness. Our object should be to have these large tracts divided among those who are content to adopt In tensive farming methods In a fewj acres. The business can be managed In Portland as a central point, and the owners of the tracts permitted to share In the profits accuruing from) advanced values. Strangers might come to Portland and find out where' the lands were available for cutting up, and this part of the business could be rendered profitable for the, real estate men engaged in it here." j The organization of a real estate exchange was deferred until a future' meeting of the board. W. A. Span ton was appointed to take the place! nt Mr .TapWsnn whn roalimori tmm I the committee In charge of the preliminaries. The proposel to bring City Engineer Thompson of Seattle, to Portland to act as consulting engineer, was the subject for discussion, but no definite steps were taken.

The city council since the last election has or dered all gambling stopped In the sal oons and no card' games for drinks will be allowed. The six days' cele bration which was going to be held has fallen through since gambling will not be allowed, as the saloonmen have withdrawn their subscriptions. The council had to take some step of this kind to "stop Immigration of an undesirable class which would have come here after the surrounding coun ties had gone dry. There will be no poolselllng or gambling allowed of any kind on the horse races at the fair this fall. The county court or dered no whisky sold In the three pre cincts which voted for prohibition at the last election, but the order did not close any saloons, as there was none In the three precincts that went dry. Read th Bast OregonUn. The following sketch of the objects of the government investigations in j irrigation in Willamette valley has just Deen lsueci oy Artnur r. stover, formerly in charge of the same work In Umatilla county. Further infor mation on the subject will be pub lished by the East Oregonlan. Mr. Stover says: The investigations dealt with in this report have for their object a determination of the value of irrlga tlon for Increasing and Insuring the productiveness of the agricultural lands of the Willamette valley, Oregon. This valley contains perhaps the largest single body of tillable land, outside of the great Sacramento and San Joariuln valleys In California. In the Pacific coast or Rocky mountain states. It is also one of the oldest settled sections of the west, a large part of Its prairie and bottom land having been cultivated for more than ,ri0 years. The rainfall during the winter months is very heavy but dur ing the summer months it Is so light as to constitute almost an arid condl. tlon in so far as the production of ag ricultural crops Is concerned. In the early days and up to within the last few years grain growing has been the predominant Industry. The moist, early springs and dry summers were admirably adapted to the pro duction of cereals-, and It was but natural that the raising of grain should have been the leading Indus try. However, under the strain of con stant cropping to wheat and with only poor, shallow cultivation and no fertilization the soil gradually failed to yield profitable crops of grain. As a natural result of these conditions a change in agricultural methods has been taking place within the last few years, and the wheat ranch with its 320 to 640 acres or more of poorly cultivated soil is giving place to the small diversified farm with Its crop rotation and Us Intense cultivation. But the climate is not well adapted to this new spstem of agriculture. Grain was ripe and ready for harvest before the dry summer months came on, while the crops now being raised clover, vetch, hops, small fruits and vegetables extend their growth well Into or through the dry season, If given the opportunity, and often suf fer from a lack of sufficient moisture just at tho time when needed to give the crop Its best growth. The purposes of the investigations now being made In the Willamette valley by the Irrigation Investigations of this office are to determine In a careful way Just what benefits may be secured from ' the' application of water to crops during the dry sea son, what expense may be Incurred for Irrigation, and what methods should be employed to produce the best results. Some progress has already been made toward the solution of these problems by a few who have been, practicing irrigation In a small way, but. little is known of their success outside of the immediate localities where the experiments were made, and even there little effort has been made to extend the practice. A series of cooperative experiments was begun In the-spring of 1907, the plans outlined Including tho follow- ' Ing lines of work: (1) The collectlun of Information bearing on the value of irrigation, dealing with the subjects of water supply, rainfall, soil conditions and the like. (2) The determination of the val ue of irrigation to different crops, the best methods of preparing land nnrl irrigating It, the proper time of application and the various other practical questions connected with Ir rigation. (3) The giving of advice and the lending of nssistance to those who wish to begin Irrigating. STANLEY BROTHERS !!
