PROMINENT EASTERN OREGON DRY ID
FARMER TELLS OF HIS SUCCESSFUL WORK
Eastern Oregon H looked upon an
a dry country. Yet the average rain
fall la about 17 Inchon, according to
)the record kept at Lakevlow lor the
loot decade. It was aa high luHt year
as 27 Inches, but this year it la away
below the normal. But In spite of
jthU drawback, If It may be so term
ed, there are farmers here "dry land"
farmers, who have lived heer for
years, contented and proHperoim,
own big acreage, largo herds and
flocks, have fine homes and are sur
rounded with all the comforts of life,
says the Lakevlcw Examiner.
A notablo Instance being Mr. L. A.
Carrlker, who lives on the West Sldo
and Is considered one of tho most
pronperoUH of the dry land farmers
of southern Oregon. He came here
21 years ago from Montgomery coun
(ty. Illinois, and first acquired a pre
emption, and afterwards ft homestead
upon which he made final proof and
hna resided ever since. He has since
added to his original 320 acres by
purchase, the latest addition being
a 40-acre tract purchased recently,
and which brings his present holdings
up to an even 1000 acres of as fine
land as lies out of doors, In this land
of superb climate, and one of unsur
passed fruitfulness. Each acre of It,
except where Drews' creek crosses the
rarm, Is tillable. He has 300 acres
under the plow and the entire 1000
acres are fenced. Mr. Carrlker has
rented ft portion of his tilled fields
the past few years and will let more
of It to any of the new settlers who
may care to put In a greater acreage
than they can obtain elsewhere. His
farm Is entirely surrounded by the
lands of the Oregon Valley Land com
pany, and all of It can be Irrigated
by the ditches of that company, If
desired.
IMmn Not Irrigate. '
In the production of grain, Mr. Car
rlker has not resorted to Irrigation.
He has raised 35 or more bushels of
wheat, and got 17 bushels this year,
nn exceptionally poor year. He
has also raised big crops of barley,
and has had excellent results with
rye, getting 12 bushels last year,
which seems to stand dry -weather
better than other cereals, and also Is
less molested by rabbits, that some
times make wretched work In Wheat
fields, as no effort has been made to
rid the country of these pests. Dep
redations by rabbits Is one of the rea
sons why he has not attempted to
grow fruit, though he has no doubt
that his locality Is fully as good for
that purpose as are other portions
of the Golden Goose Lake valley.
His line of furmlng, however, has
been growing of grain, stock raising
and dairying. In addition to his
range cattle, he has a herd of 15
dairy cows, of ordinary breed. No
special care Is given them. They are
not stabled, being allowed to run In
the pasture in tho summer and In the
stubble fields In the winter. Not
much additional feed, other than the
grazing In above manner, Is given
them. Yet, for the past 10 months,
those cows have produced 790 rolls of
butter, being a little over 100 pounds
for each cow. The butter always
commands 25c per pound, and some
times more. It will be observed that
a nice Income Is thus derived from
the dairy business, which could be
greatly enhanced by grading up and
giving the herd special feed and at
tention, or by following the most ap
proved eastern methods.
Itaisot) line Mule).
Another thing in which Mr. Cnrrl
V:er Is greatly Interested and that Is
In raising mules, which he does on
quite an extensive scale, turning out
10 or more fine animals each year.
The young animals are easily broken
and readily fetch from 3100 to $150
or more per head. He glves them no
special care. The mild winters here
permit them to run In the pasture,
stubble field and range the year
round, nut little feed if any Is given
Them. Their keep comes from what
otherwise would be waste. When he
sells a bunch of the animals It Is prac
tically like finding the money. He says
- . f.f f ;
that this section Is one of the best
Countries he knows' of for mule and
horse raising and that the United
Plates government has a special fond
ness for animals born and bred In
this altitude, as their feet are sound,
wind good, and every -way they are
superior animals. He believes that
this section has a fine future for any
who care to engage In mule or horse
raising.
Cliaiww to Acquire Cheap Land.
The gentleman also thinks that
the wise man will not neglect the op
portunity here presented to acquire
some of our cheap land for himself
and family. He is not an old man
yet, but he has lived long enough to
see land that was sold In Illinois for
12 cents per acre go to $150 per
acre today and which .will probably
go still higher. He let those oppor
tunities pass him by until the price
got too big for his purse, so he came
out here and got his present holdings
gradually from his earnings. Not an
acre of the same Is for sale. It Is a
farm which any man might be proud
to own, and Is the result of his own
Industry, though handicapped for
want of transportation facilities. He
has the land, though, and now
that the railroads and an era of pros
perity will soon arrive, he is fixed for
the rest of his life, and can share in
the good things ahead. He knows
that every new settler who arrives,
every new acre turned to use enhan
ces the value of his holdings, and
while his land may not reach the
present high price of Illinois land, he
believes that with water privileges
and with our known potentialities In
the way of farming, dairying and
fruitgrowing that it may not take so
long as it did In Illinois to reach
so high or even a greater figure.
Such things have happened elsewhere
In Oregon, With no greater material
advantages.
What has been accomplished by
Mr. Carrlker can be done by others.
The opportunity is here, and the fu
ture must bring more rapid results,
and perhaps greater.

Loa Angeles. Cal. W. H. Code
chief enginoer of the government In
dian service, haa Just returned to Los
Angeles after a three months' tour of
insDectlon of the work being prosecut
ed under his supervision In the North
and middle west. He is very cntnu
siastic over tho work in behalf of the
Indian wards of Uncle Sam, and
atatea that the recent appropriations
by congress have been very liberal
The annual appropriation, both spe
cial and general, approximates $1.
000,000, and It is the intention of the
government, Code says, to give ul
tlmatcly to every Indian In the coun
try ft tract of land well supplied with
water for Its proper Irrigation.
"It will be a slow process, how
ever." said the engineer, "to convert
the northern Indians Into thrifty and
successful farmers. Indiana whose
forefathers since time was young
lived by tho chase, cannot be expected
In a few generations to scttlo down to
the uneventful and hardworking life
of the average farmer.
"The Indians of the aouthwest are
far superior n this respect; many of
the little tribes are accomplishing
wonders with a supply of water so
limited aa to be almost useless for
anything aside from domestic pur
poses. This Is especially true of the
Mission Indiana of California, and
work Is now under way on several of
the reservations in this state to im
prove conditions.
In Oregon and Washington.
"The field covered by me during
the last summer," said Code, "com
prises reservations In Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming and Utah.
In Oregon, on the beautiful Klamath
reservation, work is about to be be
gun for draining a large marsh, ap
proximating 80,000 acres In extent.
This land, when reclaimed, will make
magnificent natural hay land, and
when cultivated will yield abundant
crops of hardy grains and grasses and
a variety of root crops.
"In Washington It la hoped that ar-
rangementa will be early effected
which will allow the Indiana the
acope of the Yakima reclamalon pro
ject These Indiana have been allot
ted their lands; hence, as cltiaena,
must decide for themselves whether
they will adopt the provisions of the
Jones bill, which provldea that they
may sell a portion of their large hold
inga to obtain fund with which te
acquire water rights for the retained
portion.
"There are approximately 100,000
acrca of Irrigable land on this res
ervation, in a valley where lands sell
from $50 per acre for sage brush to
as hlglf as $2000 per acre for full
fruit-bearing orchards.
"In Novada work Is progressing
rapidly In the construction of a sys
tem to cover the allotments of the
Indians of the former Walker river
reservalon. At the time of my late
visit I found the Indiana enjoying a
large degree of prosperity, due to the
mining activities at Rawhide and
elsewhere. Everything they raise
sells for 'war figures,' and labor is
most plentiful.
Iilulio Itrciainatloii Project.
"In Iduho, conduction is under
way on a large system which wil Irri
gate 80,000 acres of lands on the Fort
Hall reservation,, and 12,000 acres of
lands immediately tributary to Po
catello, belonging to white settlers.
Since the thriving town of Pocatelio
has no cultivated lands adjacent to
the city the cltlxens are interested in
this oroiect. which will Involve an
outlay of approximately $750,000.
"The last point visited," said Code,
"was the former Uintah reservation,
in Utah, where the government Is ex
pending a special appropriation of
$(00,000 in building extensive sys
tems for the lrrlgntlon of the allot
ments of the Uncompahgre, Uintah
and White River Utes. Here also a
large area of land is supplied with Ir
rlgatlon facilities, a large portion of
which may be leased for 10-year pe
rlods on most favorable terms.
"Several hundred of the White
River Utes, who were greatly dissatis
fied, due to the opening of the reser-
Lvatlon. left their homes with the
r
avowed purpose of never returning,
After a period of two years spent In
Wyoming. Montana nnd tho Dakotas,
they were escorted bnck to their lands
1n Utah by a small troop of cavalry
arriving at the end of their Journey
on October 14."

WANT FUNEItAI-iS HELD AT NIGH
Alton Minister Unanimously Declare
in Favor of Plan.
Alton, HI. Funerals at night, are
the newest Idea in Alton. Thirty
members of the Ministerial Alliance
In session here unanimously Indorsed
the Idea Is advanced by Rev. F. S.
Eltelgeorge, pastor of the Henry
street German Methodist church.
"It would be much better to have
funerals at night," he said, "and
there should be no Sunday funerals,
either day or night. Funerals nowa
days aro too extravagant. Too much
money Is spent for flowers and car
rlages, and there Is entirely too much
display. From an extremely solemn
function the funeral has developed
Into an occasion for vulgar show."
Mr. Eltelgeorge also Bald there
should bo radical reform In the fu
neral sermons. He thinks there la
too much promiscuous eulogizing
"The safe thing to do would be to
preach a gospel sermon," he said. "I
would say nothing good about the
deceased unless it were justlfiod by
the facts. Even then I would make
it very brief." Record-lferald.

Ituliltl Koch Oppose Unload of Jews

Seattle, Wash. "Intermarriage be

other denominations is r&ce suicide,"
was the statement of Rabbi Samuel
Koch of Temple de Hlrsch Sunday
when asked his opinion of the posi
tion taken by the Rev. Emll Hlrsch
of Chicago Sunday that intermarriage
was not objectionable. "There is no
logic in the argument that two people
of different faiths are as harmonious
as those reared In the same religious
atmosphere, and the offspring of such
marriages do not come into their
rightful heritage. With the Jew to
Intermarry is race suicide and means.
