Thy East Oregonian Ih Interested In the development of that uectlon of the county unit takes pleasure In reprint ing the list of young orchards In that vicinity as follows: Twelve acres, with every square foot In greenery, Is what you see at the Haneroft ranch. Mr. Bancroft haw two acres of Tokay grapes, two acres of strawberries, six acres of early and late potatoes, and two acres of melons, peanuts, cucumbers, sweet corn, Kaffir corn, sunflowers, onions, lettuce, cabbage, turnips, etc., etc., all In fine growing state where last February he cleared the sage brush. lie linn grapevines with a 30-Inch growth, potatoes 14 to the hill, 30 day corn four feet high, and an en tire garden as well developed as one sees In older localities. Mr. Ban croft has done wall, but he has only done what any man of energy and good Judgment may accomplish un der the t'matllla project. Fred A. Yates, on his 30-aere ranch within a mile of town, has five acres of Wardens and Black Hamburg grapes, 000 pear trees, D00 cherries, and a family orchard that has done well during the spring nnd summer seasons, especially tho grapes and pears. He expects to plant more grapes next spring. Mr. Yates has cultivated and Irri gated his orchard carefully and the time Is not far distant when ho will bo taking off the $500 to $700 an acre and listening to the man who failed to investigate the reasons why he ventured to plant In the beginning of, things. Mr. Krlckson's five acres of apples and peaches attract the attention of everyone. Pet In perfect order, the ground rlear of every spenr of grass or grain, nnd almost every tree full headed and strong, Is nn agreeable rhnnge from tangled sagebrush In a short period of five months. Mr. Erlrkson Is a Chicago engineer and is "doing things" well. Pr. Kern's seven acres of Euro pean varieties of grapes, thouch plnnted In May. are coming out better than the doctor expected. Delayed shipments gave his vineyard a bad start, but when here from Tendlcton a few days npo his f.ire beamed with gl.idnes over recent developments th ; project along the Umatilla river.

It Is three and a half miles from town and convenient to Investi gation, and anyone interested In the project lands can see for himself how well apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, prunes, corn melons, aspara gus, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., grow in this locality.

C. McWatters of the Twin Falls Land & Water company, who arrived in the city, says the Boise Capital News. Mr. McWatters is very enthusias tic over the rapid rate at which the electric road construction Is going on and also with the manner in which the north side Is settling up and the Salmon rlvor tract as well. "Contractor Grant is rapidly push ing the construction work on our new electric line now, and has the grad ing almost completed," stated Mr. McVatcr8 tf a representative of the Capital News wnen interviewed, i -if lit be imnosble for us to run ! department reports the lift of a electric cars by the time the road l i completed for the simple reason that one of our big por plants, that w hich is now being constructed at the-1 lower Salmon falls, will not be com- j pleted In time. i "The. grading Is finished up to a point south of Gooding and this will ! be done in a very ehort time.

The power for the rond will be fur nlshed by two large plants, one at Shoshone and the other, as I men tioned before, at the lower Salmon falls. I should estimate that the lat ter plant will cost in the neighbor hood of 1100,000. However, as soon as the road Is completed steam po--er will be used to take care of the traffic and when the plants are completed the electric .. ni Ui anhar Itnf nd The m.i- througn cumvanon iinij m ikuuun. , , .-t..l f.i ,Vift Min-mlptlon Of the rO Id "It looks good to-rne and I'm going to ; plant more nrvt spring," lie remark the marine corps, the United fitates inil'lary academy and the United Slates naval academy have one team each.

The next three teams will receive cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50, respectively. The distances for the national team match remain unchanged, but an Irn poit.uit change has been made In the order' of fire. The skirmish run will come In as the fifth stake, being pro ceeded, by the 200 yards slow, the 200 yards rapid, the COO and 800 yards stages, and followed by the 1, 000 yards stage.

The charge of pyrocellulose powder used Imparts to the bullet muzzle a velocity of 2750 feet per This powder was developed to de crease the erosion accompanying high jveloci'y.
