W. II. Hart, a well known lumber

100 feet around the base. This is is
said to be the largest tree on earth.
Hart says the tree is in Eshom Valley,
Tulare county, in a secluded gulch near
one of the mills. The mammoth, he
figures, is 400 feet in height.

Ours is a bunch-producing country, a
feature which makes our ranges so val
uable for their native grass. Alfalfa is
subject to the same freak.
A great difference in yield may be
noticed on adjoining wheat farms con
taining the same kind of soil and sub
ject to the same weather conditions.
The conclusion is inevitable that the
difference comes from different meth
ods of farming. As our country gets
older no doubt the best results will be
obtained by adopting those methods
which have been found by experience
to produce the best. One farmer reap
ed a volunteer crop of 12 bushels per
acre this season from land he intended
to summer fallow, but "didn't get
around to it."

The news leaked out this week of a
clever forgery perpetrated by Lou flow

Frank Borg.

ago he went to Frank Borg and asked
tor a small loan and produced a note
for $320, signed by Harry Jones, which
he wanted to put up for security. As
Iloweth had been working for Mr.
Jones, Mr. Borg thought nothing of it,
in fact, Mr. Borg stated to the Gazette
that he would have loaned Ho 'eth the
sum asked for without any security, but
as Howethinsisted on him taking the
note, he took it f r security. This ran
on until last November when Iloweth
again went to Mr. Borg and asked for
$125 on the rote which was furnished.
A week ago l:i?t Wednesday Iloweth
again went toJMr. Borg and wanted to
sell the note stating that he would take
the face value for it, giving the accrued
interest for the accommodation. Mr.
Borg paid him the balance making
$320. A few days after this, Mr. Jones
was in town, and as the note was Hear
ing maturity, Mr. Borg spoke to Mr.
Jones about it. It was then learned
that the paper had been forged. Mr.
Borg immediately notified Sheriff Shutt.
but Howeth was not to be found, hav
ing left Heppner on the first train after
he had received the money. It was
learned also that he bad mortgaged his
property here and bad gotten every
thing he had into money before leaving.
