COAL COMING.
It is a strange condition of
things that the great interior con
tinues to import its coal from far
off Wyoming and Puget Sound,
while it is known that coal exist"
in the Bine mountains, perhaps
in inexhaustible
bodies, and
quality to

WATF.K.
In almost every country in the
rorld where irrigation is practiced
at all, the water supply is subject
to government control. It is rec
oguized that where the water it of
more worth aud importance than
the land itself the land being use
less without the water its control
and use is a question of vital im
portance to the community at large.
The United States is a notable ex
ception, but in the nature of things
it cannot long remain so. In the
older countries it is realized that
water should not be used as a spec
ulative commodity, its value inur-
iLg to the supposed bentit of one
class to the detriment of another.
The sooner a system of public su
pervision of the irrigation question
is adopted in this country, the
sooner will come a general reclam
ation which will round out into
perfect development this empire of
the West.
OWN YOUR RANGE.
The crowded range question, which
his long been a source of worry to the
stockmen of this part of the state, ie as
suming a most serious aspect, says the
Antelope Hera'd, and the outlook is
most discouraging, as the ranges are be
coming more crowded eaeh season. Sel
lers are using their homestead right,
locating small tracts of land in localities
where they come in conflict with some
stockman's ranee, to which the latter
has no title save that of long free usage
The result is lnentable. Bitterness is
engendered and trouble ensues.
The proper thing for a stockman to do
to secure title to ail the range be
need, and that settle" it no one has
iny riht to question his use of hia own,
and ever after he and his herders will
have the peace that can only come
through peaceful possession.
At preseot prices ot land in Morrow
connty, stockmen will do well to buy op
their ranges, and the natural increase
id tf.e value of the lands will in the fu
ture add to the profits derived from
thtir use.
WOOL.

The ti-st clip of wool of the season
has been delivered at Balfour. Guthrie
A Co.'s w arehouse at IVuleck. It be

Coal has been found cropping
out in several spots throughout the
Blue mountains, and experts who
understand quality and probable
extent of deposits should come to
the Bine mountains and examine
the field, which on the surface cer
tainly looks like a promising one.
Some of the coal deposits known
to exist are tributary to Heppner,
and there are others over on the
main John Day that are now be
ing subjected to tests.
Some day this great interior re
gion will have its own coal and
acre to ship away.
POISONOUS PLANTS
The agricultural department has
eent to Oregon one of its best bo
tanical experts, Y. K. Chestnut, to
investigate the poisonous plants
that grow on the stock-ranges.
This is a nux-t important matter
for the stock-raising industrv, and
its proper handling means millions
of dollars saved in the course of
time.
While the Oregon ranges are as
free from defects as are the average
raDes, still there are poison plants j
on them ia spots, and looses of
stock have frequently occurred.

made in the field and will consist
of feeding the suspected plants to
stock, ibis method is considered
the most effective, since the readi
ness of stock to eat poisonous
plants varies under different con
