Ireland's Population Decreasing.
The reoenl census of Ireland shows
a marked deoresse in its population,
which has been largely attributed to
the famine throughout the island, caus
ing the death of thousands of people,
and foroiog msoy others to emigrate.
This briDgs to mind quite forcibly the
absolute necessity of having plenty of
good food if we would prolongue life,
but after all it is not a question of the
amount eaten that makes the people
strong and healthy, but the way it is
digested. Dyspeptic people cannot en
joy their meals, and consequently al
ways feel depressed, irritable and ner
vous. They should try Hostetter's
Ftomach bitters at once. It is a epeci
fio remedy for flatulency, belching, in
digestion, dyspepsia and tervousness,
and is backed by a record of fifty years
or cores.

lone, Oct. 20.
This is the fat season for lone
Everything is lively in the Morrow
county wheat town. This thriving little
town is justly entitled to the caption of
wheat town for it is the wheat center of
Marrow county, and on account of loca
tion probably always will be.
A large portion of tbe great wheaj
belt of Morrow county is tributary t0
lone.
- On the sooth there is the lone wheat
belt and still further comes the Eight
Mile and Gooseberry districts. For a
distance of 20 miles wheat is hauled
with freight wagons oyer the rough and
dusty roads. This heavy freighting
over the loose soil which surrounds
lone soon cuts the thoroughfares all to
pieces.
I was in lone on what was called
Gooseberry day, that is it was the day
n which a great many farmers from
the Gooseberry country were in with
loadu of wheat, for it takes one day to
make the trip with a load and aaotber
day to get home and loaded, and from
two to three trips a week is all that
can be made.
For the handling of the immense
amount ot wheat that comes to lone,
there are three warehouses,
The owners of these warehouses are:
Kerr, (iifford & Co., Balfour, Gntherie
& Co., and the Farmers Warehouse,
owned by local parties.
At this time of the year around these
warehouses are swarms of teams wait
ing to unload tbe great loads of wheat.
lone will this year handle between
400,000 and 40,000 bushels of wheat,
in spite of tho fact that the crop is 20
per cent short of the yield that was ex
pected early in the season.
Among the wheat buyers in lone,
there is sharp competition which makes
a good market. This coodition tbe
farmers are not backward in taking ad
vantage of.
lone is the second town in matter of
population in Morrow county, and is
making a steady and permanent growth.
The census figures of l'.H'O gave lone
a population of 2l!3. The local esti
mates are now 400, and from present
appearances, this estimate cannot be
far out of the way.
lone depends solely upon agriculture.
The big wheat crop this year and the
rapid settlement of the surrounding
country, accounts for Ione's prosperity
and thrift.
Business lines are well represented.
The general merchandise stores carry
large and very complete stocks, in fact
almost everything needed in the com
munity. lone has a good public school. Fra
ternal societies are well represented,
making tho town a desirable place for
residence ai well as a good business
point.
lone will continue to grow for it has
the surrouaiing country to back it up.
Tributary to lone, there are yet
thousands of acres of good wheat land
awaiting cultivation, which will produce
good crops.
This rich tributary country is capable
of supporting many more people. .The
land will be gradually divided -into
small tracts, where more careful and
better cultivation will greatly increase
the wheat yield, and with increased
acreage, an immense amount of wheat
will find its way to lone each year.
In what is known as the lone wheat
district south of lone, farming opera
tions are now carried on on a large scale.
A vast territory is farmed by a few
people.
I talked with W. S. Smith, one of the
leading farmers of this district. Mr.
Smith this year had in 600 acres. From
this acreage he threshed 3500 sacks of
No. 1 wheat. Mr. Smith stated that he
expects to seed 1700 acres for next
year's crop. His farm is only about
four miles south of lone.
In this district among other promin
ent farmers can be mentioned Williams
Bros., Wilson Bros., Jacob Bortzer,
James and Franklin Baker, Oscar Wil
liamson, M. Rand, W. R. Morgan, J.
L. Kincald, Geo. Utt, J. R. Olden, H.
M. Olden, and others who farm all tho
way from 400 to 1000 acres.
I talked with one prominent farmer
who was opposed to the scalp bounty
law. He advanced the idea that the
decrease of coyotes would cause an in-,
crease in rabbits which would be in
jurious to the farmer's interests.
lone now presents a good appearance.
Business men are all vary busy, the
-town is growing and has bright pros
pects.
One of Ione's present needs is a good
hotel. F w-
BIG REAL ESTATE DEALS.
Fine Farms In Morrow
Changing; Hands.
County
County Commissioner Ed. C. Ash
baugh has sold his fine wheat farm of
640 acres in Eight Mile, to F. P.
Vanghn for $6,000.
In speaking of the sale, Mr. Ash
baugh said :
"I landed in Eight Mile 14 years ago
with 35 cents in my pocket. Land at
that time in this district had little or no
value. I traded a $30 cayuse for a
man's right on 320 acres of land. This
I got from the government. Three
years ago I bargained for another half
section, giving 3000 bushels of wheat
for it. I sowed the land and raised the
wheat in two yekrs."
Mr. Ashbaugh has also accumulated
about $5000 worth of personal property.
P. O. Borg has sold his ranch of 1000
acres on Willow creek, 6 miles below
Heppner, to Mr. Whitney from Moro.
Thos. Boothby has sold his farm of
480 acres near Lexington, to C. A. Har
rington of Sherman county.
The two sales last mentioned were
made through Goo. W. Wells of this
city, and the price was tatisfactory.

" If women would pay more attention to
