Pratt, a pioneer .rancher liv ing near Enterprise, paid the county seat city one of his usual weekly v's lls Saturday. In conversation . with Mr. Pratt he staled that he had some 160 acres in alfalfa, cutting two crops yearly. This ,will be read with, interest by any eastern read er who is seking lands' and the op portunity for a home. Mr. Pratt sell bis alfalfa, when he desires to sell any at all, for from $5 to $8 in the stack. The eastern man of Mine means could get. independently rich buying ailalfa land in quantity from ItiO to 30 acres and seeding it to alfalfa. In some localities In tha county where the altitude is lower, he could probably cut three crops every year, and sell every ton of It in the stack. Or getting bottom land. for timothy and such timothy as the easterner never saw before he could 't rich ia time raising nothing but timothy. It has been a surprise to the new editor of this paper to see timothy grown here higher than his head. For this, tim othy there is a clamorous ' market at a price quoted In Portland last week of $23 a ton.
