The Gazette. Thursday, Sept. 14, 1899. THE EAST AND THE WEST. The uormal condition of the average farmer throughout the East is oue of inquiry as to weather conditions. His face is upturned to the sky, he watches the appear ance of the clouds and auks 8dx iously: "Will this rain hold off for a day more?" or, "I am afraid these are only wind clouds," as the case may be. He must await for rain in order to plow or to plant, or he cannot plow or plant because of rain, The greatest proof of the value of irrigation lies in the fact that no farmer who has once prac ticed it is ever willing to change to farming under conditions where he is dependent upon natural and un evenly distributed rainfall. The farmer who has bis moisture sup ply under his control knows what he can do, and goes ahead and does it with almost as much cer tainity of results as the contractor projects and builds bis house. The satisfaction to the farmer of knowing that the labors of a half a season will not be rendered void because of a week of untimely drouth, is one that cannot be fully appreciated except by those who have tried both systems. The ordinary farmer is looked u poo largely as a man who plods along without responsibility, worry or thought. As a matter of fact, his worries, where he is dependent upon the elements, are constant, and far in excess of those of many business men. Never a season goes by that he does not hope and pray for rain at some time to save some partially matured crop, or fidget and stew about in impa tience aiid fear lest his crop already made shall be ruined be fore it can be harvested or cured. The brow of the irrigator is sure to have many less lines and furrows across it than that of the farmer who does not know the control of water in bis agricultural operations. When questioned concerning the space devoted by the state press to Ex-Congressman Ellis' ambition to become sergant-at- arma of the house, Mr. Ellis em phatically denies that he ever au. thorized his name used in this connection and that he seeks do office nor has he any ambition for the place mentioned. He is now looking after his business affairs and is not seeking office. The East Oheoonun says: The fbeepnu n will have to kavo the forest reserves. The deportment at Washington has already can colled the grazing permits to sheopmen to the Rainier forests reserves in Washington, and it is thought that sheop will be exclud ed from the Cascade reserves by another summer. The sheepmen will be heavy losers by this action. Thousands of sheep will have to be disposed of in Oregon and WWiington and their owners drivon out of the business by it. Tho grazing of shop in these re borvcB is harmful to the govern ment interests. The forest are set on fire by the careless sheep tenders and much valuable timber destroyed. It is contended that if tho nhoep are excluded from the reserves the dangers of fire will be brought down to the minium. In other words, the department con siders the timber interests of these reserves of more value to the gov ernment and the people than the sheep interests, so far as they are advanced by free range. We note the Portland Cainbor of Commerce has decided to ask Beuator Simon to go to Washing ton iu bohalf of Portland, in the matter of having that city declared as a shipping port for supplies and men for the Luzon campaign. This is good work. Hut it would bo more effective if the entire dele- gatiou were called to assist iu this matter Senator Simon resides iu Tortlaud, but Portland is our me tropolis and the pride of the state. Therefore there should be com bined effort in the desired direc tion, and it Bhoulil not have the appearance of a 1'oitland iuvo, uuHupportod by the rent of the btllto. The world knows just as well as France that Dreyfus is not guilty. Everybody knows, too, that if Dreyfus is guilty positive proofs would be forthcoming. On Sun day last every civilized hamlet on the globe was commenting upon this shameful act, the second con viction of au innocent man. This bodes no good for the approaching Paris exposition, and France will be made to feel it. THE CONFKBENCE CLOSES. A Most Epjoyable Session Acknowledged Appointments Hade. The annual oonfereoos, in session here from September 7th to 11th, closed one of its most enocesBful meetings with the reading ot the appointment! Sandsy Digbt. There were so nnnsnal tmmber of preBCbers and delegates present. Tbe reports from tbe various charges showed decided gains on nearly all lines. There was an inorease in membership and in tbe gifts to the cause. Tbe preaching and lectures by Bishop Dunoan, Dr. Whisner, J. C. Thomas, L. P. Shearer, 8. P. Wiggins, E. P. Greene and A. Y. Skee were ot the high order. Tbe bishop's presidency gave general satisfaction. Rev. S. W. Davies had died during tbe past year and suitable memorial services were held Sunday evening in bis mem ory, at which time a number of bis old oomrades spoke feelingly of his worth and of their loss. Muoh to tbe regret of tbe brethren, two of tbe youug men from Qeorgia re turned, Kevs. 8. P. Wiggins and Joseph Christian. Five new preachers were added to the working force one from West Virginia, one from Tennessee and three native. Tbe next session will be beld at Day ton, Washington. Oar citizens manifested great interest in tbe conference and large congrega tions were present at all the servioes. In tbe main tbe appointments gave splendid satisfaction. We give them as follows: 8pokane distriot, Q H. Qibbt Presiding Elder; Spokane, M.V.How ard ; Wilbur, J. Q. Carriok j Wilbur oir coit, 8. A. Woods; Ed wall, Sidney Gren. fell ; Oakesdale, D. K.

Yoknm; Wallowa, to be supplied. Rev. R. 0. Miobael lost his baby boy during tbe conference. It died Sunday morning, and R9V. Qibbs preaohed a suitable sermon on Monday morning, after which tho precious little one was laid to rent in our cemetery. The par ents bavo tbe sincere sympathy of the whole oommunity iu their bereavement. liiebop Duncun and Dr. Whisner de parted on Mooda8 train for Grant's Push, where tbe session ot the Columbia Conferenoe opened on tbe 11th. A oiieat many country news papers have been active in trying E. L. Mims for the shooting of Miller, of Pendletcn. This is the duty of a judge and jury, and the Oazetto is opposed to these self constituted judges and juries. Give the law a show, but do not try to convict a mau on hearsay eviderjep. Mr. Mitns claims self defense, and ho is innocent before tho law until proven otherwise. Too runny newspapers in Oregon, and not country papors either, are wont to jump at conclusions and then use their efforts to influence vtrdicU, whicU iu.vl'y wrong, lVodlrtoa Will Respond. East Oregonian: Pendleton is asked to contribute 8200 to 8300 towards making a road from the oounty line of Umatilla to Sueauville and building a wagon bridge over tiie John Day river, to en able the people of that eeotion to better come to Pendleton lo trade. Pendleton will respond to the appeal. Tbe Busan- ville station Is about the rirhaat nart nf Grant county and ooutaius some of tbe most promising mlues in Eastern Ore- gun. There are many 11 je ranches along me river una a thrifty community of people who desire to euter into trade re lations with Pendleton. At present the route to Pendleton is round about, dif flonlt and dangerous to travel, but by the expenditure of a little money tbe mute oan be shortened, good road made and a direct line established. The amount Pendleton is asked to subrorihe to tbe enterprise is small, oonBidering tbe advantage aflored. With a good wngou road opened lo Husanville, a trie phono will follow. MOUNTAIN VALLEY FAHM. On 8starday we bad tbe pleasure ot a visit to tbe Mountain Valley Farm, in company with Oscar Minor. There we found Mr. Maris applying tbe finishing touches to tbe sleek coats ot tbe thoroughbred Shorthorns, preparatory to tbeir departure on Monday morning's train for tbe State Fair at Salem. Tbe following contribution to tbe Rural Spirit by Mr. Maris recite tbe important point ot bis prize-winners, and is of interest to every etockraieer in the Northwest: Among tbe front ranks ot tbe matrons of tbis herd ie tbe grand old cow Reality, an nndispnted champion in her day and the dam of a lot of good ones. She ie a cow ot great substance and vitality, carrying a deep, heavy, well tamed body on tbe shortest of legs. Sbe is past her prime, but bringiog a oalt every year, and ie now safe in oaif to Conquero. We expeot something extra fine from ber tbis time and it a heifer calf would hardly put a price on it. Roan Lady is too well kbown to tbe Shorthorn fraternity to need any intro duction. A member of H. F. Brown's noted show herd of '96, that won Illinois state fair; second prize oow at Salem in '97, being beaten by tbe best dangbter of Reality-Wood ruff Bell, whose son, Munson, was first prize aged bull at tbe same show, and has stood at tbe bead of tbis herd for tbe last four yearr. Sbe was first in tbe aged cow olass last year at tbe Washington state and The Dalles District fairs. Sbe will be in onr show herd this year, and altbongh sbe bas lost some of ber form and be oome a little patchy at tail and bead, ebe is still a pretty good show cow and settled right down to business as a breeder. Sbe bas a fine beifer calf by Munson, and is now well along in calf to tbe service of Conqueror, and should she drop a bull calf it ought to be good enough to head anybad'y herd. We are anxions for it to be a heifer, how ever. Mazurka Napier 5tb is oue of tbe best oows tbat I imported along with Con queror. Sbe was a obampion winner in ber younger daya, and at fourteen ebe holds ber own like a heifer, and one would bardly take ber to be more than six j ears old. Sbe is a oow ot good style and wonderful quality; has a re markable spriugy rib, and a baa It like a a dining table. One of her daughters and three grandaugbters and a grand n in our show herd will show what sbe bas been doing as a breeder. Mazurka Napier 12'h. one of the bust daughters of M. N. 5tb, is a genuine beef block. She bas tbe ribs an1 baok of bar dam, heavy quarters, well set on Bhorl legs. We think ber a pretty fair prodnoer, as she contributes tbrfe to our show herd Ibis year, and we would b? foolish enough to show them against a number from anybod'y oow, one of them being the yearling beifer that won tbe female championship for us last year at the Washington state fair. Another oow that produces notb'ng but show calves is Mezirka Napier Htb Her yearling beifer won seoond priz" last year, and her bull calf, Oregon Monarch, first. If ber present bull calf, Ojuqneror 21, dou't get a blue ribbon there will be some mighty good calves in the ring. Three others of tbe Mazurkas I im ported 9th, 11th and 2nd, now owned by Mr. Minor, are right along with 12tb and Hth as producers and will eaoh contribute one or two apioe to onr show herd tbis year. There are fourteen of tbe Moziirkn Oonqueror heifers in the herd, and they are uniformly good. All have good style an quality, fine ribs and baok, good quarters and short legs and with out exception are fine produoers. There will be two calves in tbe show herd from these heifers that will speak for them selves.
