ter is over until the 1st of March, still
the indications are that such a predie

at all events it is not amiss to mention
the fine weather Eastern . Oregon has
been favored with thus'far. Men who
hava resided in Wasco county for 35
years declare they have never seen a
winter that compares with this. There
has been 'sufficient' snow 'and rain to
thoroughly' moisten rthe ground, bo
that farmers can plow, and the high
temperature, the paet two weeks has

SfUBDKB IN CNIOX COUNTY.
A Tragedy In Which Three Members of
. . One Family are Killed.
1 Saturday's ; Baker City Democrat
gives the following account of a
wholesale killing that occurred at
Pine valley, In Union county, forty
miles east of Baker, on New Year's
mdrningf : 'c ' -
An unmarried man, Porter by name,
surrendered himself to Justice Como
ton, of Pine valley, and stated that he
bad been the agent in killing old man
Mache, his wife and their son. the
latter of whom bad' but recently re
turned from the penitentiary, where
he had served a term for cattle steal
ing.. It appears bad feelinj had ex
isted ' for some time .between the
Maches and Porter, and on this par
ticular occasion . the Maches were

He had them held In bonds

borB. it is learned that the Maches
bore an unsavory reputation, and very
little sorrow is expressed for the awful
event. The sympathy of the com'
munity seems to be with Porter.
. The Bight Thing.
A gentleman representing a Port
land wholesale house, who is in' the
city Monday, informed a TIMES-MOUN
TADJEEH reporter that a move is on
foot among the wholesalers of Port
land to, encourage the patronizing of
home industries throughout the state,
and to accomplish this end a fund is
being raised to put lecturers into the
field who will impress upon the people
the necessities of consuming home
products and importing as few for
eign made articles as possible. Thi3
is a move in the right direction, and
must result in good both to the con'
Burner and producer. It will not only
keep wealth at home, but in the mat
ter of food articles it will give' the
consumer a fresher and purer article;
more than this, whenever the people
of the northwest more generally con
sume commodities produced on this
coast It will stimulate trade and en
courage the establishment of numer
ous industries that are at present not
thought of, thus "increasing trade and
furnishing employment for hundreds
of people who are now unemployed
The move of the Portland jobbers is
indeed commendable, for general
prosperity will not prevail on this
coast until the people cease sending
abroad for what they can get at home.
Wheat uovina- at Pendleton.
Wheat is now moving out of Pendle
ton, and business at the railroad office
is, therefore, picking up, says the East
Oregoaian Prior to January 1, little
more than 10 per cent of the county's
wheat crop had been sent to Portland
or the Sound. Since the bulge of
few days ago, when 400,000 bushels
were sold at 40 cents net, the grain has
been starting westward, and now goes
about as rapidly as the railroads can
carry it. i In addition to the 400,000
bushels which were sold between
p. M. on December 30 and 6 P. M. on
December 31, close to 50.000 bushels
more were sold during the next half
day. Some have placed the estimate
of total sales on that bulge at between
500,000 and 600,000 bushels. This may
be high, and yet not very much above
the actual figures, Nothing much has
been done since, and holders are now
waiting for n expected advance,
which -was scheduled for ''soon after
the turn of the year."

KAFTIK COEX.
A Plant Adapted to the -Arid Keglone
of Eastern Oregon.
A species of corn which originated
in the Kaffir country in Africa, hence
is called Kaffir corn, is being very
successfully grown on the arid plains
along the eastern slope of the Rocky
mountains, and from the accounts
given of its wonderful yield in those
dry, rainless sections, it would seem
to be a cereal well adapted to the
climate and soil of the plateaus of
Eastern Oregon where rains are not
abundant and where water for irri
gating cannot be had.
Where this plant has been culti
vated extensively it has been demon
strated that whether the season was
wet or dry, cool or hot, long or short,
the plant would thrive on all kinds of
soil with a minimum of care and cul
tivation, and planted any time be
tween the first of April and middle of
July it would mature an absolutely
sure crop of grain and fodder before
the frosts of autumn.
The stalk looks somewhat like a
single shoot of common corn, but
shorter, attaining a height usually of
from four and a half to six feet, and
having pointed leaves of a rich green
color. The grain forms in a head at
the extreme point of the sheet, where
the tassel is on ordinary corn, the
heads being from seven to twelve
inches in length and six, to eight in
circumference, and when ripe looks
like great white or red plumes.
The grains are almost round, a little
larger than a grain of rice, and much
resembling a grain of wheat in its in'
terior structure.
Speaking of the wonderful results
obtained from the cultivation of Kaffir
corn the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
says:
"When the drought of last spring
killed the wheat and oats and seemed
almost certain to ruin the corn, the few
who had had experience with the new
grain began to advise their neighbors
to plant Kaffir corn, as It would grow
all right in dry weather, and they could
thus at least raise feed for their stock.
The newspapers took up the advise and
soon farmers were planting Kaffir corn,
utilizing the ground where wheat and
oats had failed and planting on sod or
scattered patches, where early corn had
been burned out.
"The planting was continued until
well along in August, the acreage be
ing in many sections greater than that
ever devoted to a single crop. In Okla
homa alone nearly , 60,000 acres were
planted with the crop. And every
grain of it planted grew and thrived to
maturity, and before the summer was
over the farmers began to wonder what
they would do with it all. They knew
it was good feed for stock, but there
was not stock enough in the terri
tory to consume it, and the product
was yet so new that it was not recog
nized in the outside markets.
"Experience had already developed
the fact that it mada a most admirable
feed, either to winter stock or to fat
ten them for market, but with an
abundance of the grain on hand, Okla
homa farmers soon discovered that it
was better for horses than either corn
or oats, making them fat and stout,
and giving them a sleek, glossy ap
pearance. . . ...
"When it came to feeding hogs, it
was found that they gained flesh more
rapidly than when fed on common
. corn, and poultry men have found the
Kaffir , grain an admirable egg pro
ducer, and when fed, unthreshed the
fowls are' given exercise in picking it
from the head. .
l'ThQ boys and girls soon discov
ered that it would pop as Veil as pop
corn,, the grains popping, out large,
white and tender, and women in the
country found that, boiled like rioej
the grain was excellent, eaten .with
cream and sugar; that mashed into a
pulpy mass it made an admirable pud
ding; and it was also a first-class sub
stitute for hominy.
"Still the quantity produced was so
great that tie people continued to
wonder what they would do with it. ' .
"The owner of the roller mills at
Medicine Lodge, Kan., ran some of
the grain through his corn meal grind'
er and produced a meal pronounced in
every way equal to the ordinary corn1
meal, but he was not content with
this, he rigged up a special set of
buhrs and produced a new product
that bids fair to create a revolution ii
the world's breadstuffs Kaffir flour,
"Some of this flour was made into
light bread. . The bread was fully as
white as bread made from second-
grade wheat flour, aud was sweet and
palatable.' '"
If half that is claimed for this new
plant is true, it would be a most ad
vantageous crop for all of Eastern Or
egon. At all events its " is worth
while for the farmers giving it a test.
If it can be so successfully grown here

Whether or not stock are" to be al

mined at an early date since the secre
tary of the interior has directed a spe
cial agent of the departmont to pro

such Investigations as can be made at
this season of the year in relation to
the alleged appropiatlon and occupa
tion of lands within tbe reservation,
the pasturing of cattle and sheep there
on, and the destruction of timber by
forest fires and trespassers. Upon the
report of the agent will depend wheth

on the reserve, and it will therefore
be to the interest of the stockraisers
to afford him all the assistance possi
ble in arriving at the facts concerning
the alleged destruction of forests, etc.,
by stock being pastured upon the re
