j TRIP TO THE NORTH COUNTRY
A journey through the North Coun
try ul this time of year is Impressivt
and convincing of the resources ant
steady iiiluiiceinc!it of that grea
section of Wallowa county. The
fields of ripening grain, though it i.
declared the troys this exceptiona
year are way below the average, ar.
splendid in their promise of a goldei
harvest. Tlie chared land, as eve;
a novice may s-je, forms but a smal
fraction of the cultivable area. Thi
clearing of the land has heretofori
been an expensa. Hard work wit!
but little pay for it, except the farn
that is made by that labor. Here
after, with railroads furnishing mean:
of marketing the lumber, the makinf
of farms will itself be a highly re
munerative Job. And when the lam
is allcloared, it is a very reasonabW
estimate that one million bushels o'
wheat alone will be exported frorr
the "North Country."
The M. P. Miller Road.
The M. P. Millar road from Wal
Iowa to Sled Springs is now at iU
bust, and a trip over it is at leas
convincing that the contractor, Jone
Trump, did a lot of work for th
money. .Miles and miles of heavj
grading, rip-rapping or rock cuttini
is evidence of tho economical expen
dlture of the $3,300. The made roa

along south and east hill sides, Is it

Another big improvement is the ad

NEWSPAPER ADS EST.
Through a car--.... expdrimen

C. P.Grenecker, the manager, sai
he placarded all the fences in Ha;

o walk abojt the streets, sent ou
5,000 postal cards to Harlem resi
lents, and distributed 2.),000 hand

vere distributed to the auditors o!
vhich they were asked to designate
what had attracted them to hte play
louse. The printed requests were:
"What attractad your attention U
he fact that Mr. McAllister is ap

"Did you read it in a newspaper.

Practically every one who receive

xacted him or her to the play
louse, and a count of the slip;
ihowed that more than 73 per cent
of the audience had been attracted

"This shows conclusively," Gre

DESTROY THE THISTLES.
In last week's News Record was an
article from the La Grande Oh
'erver telling of the action of the
jounty court of Union county in re
sard to obnoxious weeds. The road
mpervisors are required to cut them
n the roads in their districts, and
ilso to notify owners of land to de
Hroy the thistle a, cockles, mustard
3tc., under penalty of having It done
by the county at the property own
ars 'expense.
Some such action should be takan
it once in Wallowa county. The
roads and-fields are covered with
-histles and if allowed to go to seed,
iext year's crop will be that much
harder and more expensive to gat
id of.
Some people oppose action ha
cause it would be expensive. The an
swer to that is, it must be done
jooner or later, and it can never be
ione In the future as cheap as it can
be done now. Like spraying fruit
trees a day's work this saason saves,
five days' labor next season

STATE REVENUE FROM
FORESTS INCREASED
In addition to the benefits secure:
by fire protection and by regulation;
which control the usa of timberlaru.
and range so as to insure per man en
supplies for local wants, the state
having National Forests now receive
under the new Agricultural Appropri
ition bill 23 per cent of the gross
proceeds derived from the sale o
National Forest resources. Thi.
amount, according to law, goss tc
jffset any losse3 to the states
.hrough withdrawal of fore3t areas
rom taxation, and is devoted to pub
ic roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints wort
nade that the withdrawal of timbe.
ands for forest purposes reduced the
axable areas of the states in which
viihdrawals were made. The For
;st Service, quick to see the jas'.iee
f these complaints, recommended a
irst that 10 per cent, and later tha.
:5 per cent, of ths gross proceadt
rom the National Forests should hi
)aid to the states. As a result, thi

nan they otherwise could have heea
dnce the permanence of the Fores
esources is now secured by conser
