ty It Is believed that the same soil
would produce the thornless variety
In abundance and the Industry Is
looked upon with favor by many land
owners of the western portion of the
county.
The plants are very prolific and may
be set at the age of six or seven weeks
and will at once begin to produce oth
er plants. The Monterey variety or
that producing the round leaf, Is said
to be the best variety for all purposes
and Is recommended Instead of the
long leaf, variety.
The leaves grow to be about the
size of an ordinary dinner plate, from
one-fourth to aone-half an inch In
thickness and retain their shape and
juices for months after being pulled
from the stem. All kinds of stock
eat them readily and it Is believed that
It will come to be the principal stock
food In the arid regions.
The sol! needs no preparation, ex

cactus plants. A small slit may be
made In the sandy soli with a spade
and the little plant Inserted and with
in an incredibly short time it will be
gin to shoot out new branches and
within a few months will be a full

The favorite plan by which land
owners may secure a good start of
the plants is to buy a few hundred,,

chase and then grow their own seed
plants from these. As one small
plant will yield from 40 to 50 plants
each, annually, a great profit may be
made In growing seed with which to
start a cactus field.

Whether or not the prohibition vote

court and by this evening or tomorrow
morning the problem will be up to
Judge Bean.
This morning District Attorney
Phelps In behalf of the state filed his
answer denying all the principal al
legations of the amended complaint
In the Nolte case. Thereupon the case
became at Issue and abouf 10:30 this
forenoon County Clerk Frank Sallng
was called as the first witness for the
liquor men.
The principal point which the plain
tiffs wished to show by the clerk evi
dently was that he had but one regu
lar deputy and that the names on the
ocal option petition were checked over
by some one other than the first dep
uty. However the witness declared
that Clark Nelson, who checked the
names, was at that tlmo the one and
only regularly authorized deputy ln
the office. Chief Clerk R. T. Brown

tour.
County Clerk Sallng was upon the
stand for two hours and he was fol-
owed by Deputy Brown. Sheriff Tay-

o'clock this afternoon.
An objection to the sheriff's testi
fying In the case was made by District
Attorney Phelps, who quoted the sta
tute to the effect that the sheriffs re-
urn shall be prima facie evidence that
the election notices were legally- post
ed. The objection was sustained by
Judge Bean, but the plaintiffs were
flowed to ask the questions they de-
ired and the questions and answers
were taken Into the record for use In
case of an appeal.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Sheriff
Taylor was still upon the stand.
The legal battle now on Is being
fought by Messrs. Winter, Richards

Mr. Phelps is making a single handed
fight for the county and state.

A. C. Koeppen A Bra jL
Since so many Pendleton and Uma
tilla county people are Interested In
Canada people and have thought
of investing at various points
along the route of the Orand
Trunk Paclrlc railroad, the fol
Grand Trunk Pacific railroad, the fol
lowing article from American Consul
A. G. Seyfert of Collingwood, Canada,
on the progress of work on that great
railroad system, will be of much In
terest to the readers of the East Ore
gonlan. Consul Seyfert says:
From Winnipeg to Edmonton the
prairie section of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Is practically completed. From
Edmonton to the coast, a distance of
TOO miles, through the mountains, it
will take three years more to finish.
The work is exceedingly difficult and
expensive, much of It being between
mountain passes and along the gorges
of the Skeena River.
Experience of the past has led the
railway company to deal with great
care about the future town sites along
the new road. The company proposes
to control as much as possible, not
only the location of the sites for the
towns, but also the laying out arid
building of the future cities.
On the Prairie section nearly a
hundred of these sites have been lo
cated, and nil- but a few on the north
side of the rallwny. The main street
of each town Is to run at right angles
with the track of the main line. All
the lots are rectangular blocks.
Pnrallel with the railway and adjoin
ing the depot right of way, a long
strip of land 100 feet wide hns been
reserved by the company at each
town site for the purpose of planting
trees and shrubs to beautify the town.
The company will also Impose
building restrictions in all the towns.
Along the main street and on the
avenues close to the station on a giv
en area no buildings wlll'be allowed
to cost less than $1,000. No shops,
livery stables, or other noisy and dis
agreeable businesses will be allowed
near the station. All such will be
grouped ln one block ln a place con
venient to the town.
Pacific Harbor Advantages.
Prince Rupert, the Pacific terminal
of the Grand TriTrik Pacific, Is an
island. The town Is to be built on the
slope of a mountain, whose grade be
gins a few hundred yards back from
the shore line. It Is alleged that for
a harbor Prince Rupert has no equal
on the Pacific coast. It is sheltered;
its approaches are easy and free from
all Impediments of navigation. The
harbor Is 1 to IVi miles wide and ex
tends Inland a distance of 10 miles.
Prince Rupert is the most exclusive
place on the coast- People who have
no business there are not allowed ts
land. The future city Is not yet
ready to receive any one unless he Is
directly connected with the rnllway
company. The government and the
Grand Trunk Pacific own all the
water front, and no arrangements are
completed for placing any property
on the market. It Is, however, an
nounced seml-offlclally, that the sale
will take place In September next.
The promoters of Prince Rupert
expect the town to become a great
factor In the Pacific commerce. They
predict that In a quarter of a century
It will be one of the leading seaports
on the Pacific Ocean. Prince Rupert
will be a day and a half nearer the
Orient than Vancouver, and the
steamship concern now allied to the
Grand Trunk rnllway system has an
nounced thnt the moment the trans
continental line Is completed It Is
ready to inaugurate a Prince Rupert
Hongkong steamship service across
the Pacific.
