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."

J. A. 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!

Burns, Ore., June 25. 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

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.
