Eastern Oregon is bound to become tbe great turkey-raising section of the Northwest, in the opinion of C. A. Rhea, o? Portland, who has just returned from a visit to Gilliam and Morrow counties "They herd turkeys on those prairies just as they used to herd sheep, in great droves," he said, "and the birds thrive from the time they are hatched until they are ready for market at Thanks piving. "One farmer near Ooil, on the Wil low Creek Railroad, bad a band of 500 turkeys last fall, and the herder used to take them out on the stubble fields in the morning and drive them back to the corral at night. The turkeys fat tened on tbe scattered grain in the fields, and as they did not eat the grass, the owners of the fields did not care how many turkeys were herded in tbe fields. Finally just before Thanksgiv ing the big band of turkeys was driven to Coyote Station and placed on board tbe c&rs for Portland. The producer was iaid oO cents a head for the birds, and thooghthe did well, while the same turkeys cost the consumers here from f 1 50 to f3 apiece. "The climate of Eastern Oregon is peculiarly adapted to turkeys, being dry and clear for the better part ot the year. The birds are allowed to roam over a vant area in search of grain and seeds, but the herder muet be on the lookout constantly for coyotes, for the animals have discovered that turkey meat is juicy and tender, and they will often take chances on being shot while in (jaest of a bird for supper, "That region used to be devoted to beep pasture, when tbe land belonged to the gove-nment and range was free. It is all cut up into ranches now, and farming has taken the place of wcol growing. The iturkey does not inter tere with the farming, as sheep would." The Dalles Chronicle. Big Shorthorn Deal. We estimated a few weeks ago in onr columns that there wouid probably be some pretty good deals in Shorthorn circles in the near future, and in the transfer to W. O. Minor of the whole J. L. Meteker herd, one of the deals re ferred to has been consume ted. Last week Mr. Minor shipped from Hillsdale Farm, Pullman, Wash., to his Mountain Valley Farm, at Heppner, Ore., the whole of J. L. Metsker's herd, consisting of 29 head, including his herd bull, Ke psake, and the rest of the show herd that Mr. Metskec exhibited successfully in 1903.

A story is current here tonight that J. P.

Mr Woolman was foreman of the jury, and when it reported this morning he asked to be excused from further service, which was done. Then the jury retired and later this afternoon returned an other, the one supposedly referring to its former foreman. Mr. Woolman said tonight he expected to bs indicted, saw it coming and retired, as he did not wish to hamper the jury. The other indictments will probably be made pub lie early next week. calf by this young bull that would be a "We have finished the dirt work on this bunch Mr. Minor has considerably the largest herd of registered Short horns in the Northwest, in tact hit) herd claimed that distinction lor some years.

"Cold weather and snow has interfered very little with our work as we were through with the dirt work b fore winter weather set in.

The sur vey for the extension of the Elgin branch from Wallowa to Joseph has about been completed and there ia lit tle doubt but that part of the road will be built as soon as the line to Wallowa is constructed. "As a result of so much railroad ac tivity the Wallowa country, acknow ledged to be one of the richert agricul tural sections in the norihwest, is at tracting attention from outside home seekers and next spring will see a veritable boom in that country.
