TUlman Reuter ot Madras, Crook county. Is receiving considerable newspaper notoriety these days be cause of his success In dry fanning. On the semi-arid uplands near Mad ras he produces big crops of splen did quality, Including alfalfa, forage plants, roots, onions and summer squash, all without irrigation'. Yet on these products Mr. Rculer has won prizes ln open competition. It Is said that contrasted with neigh boring farms, it, looks a if some mir acle were In progress within his fen ces, or that some specially fertile soil had been chosen' for an experi ment. But the miracle Is only the dally hard work that Is taught how to avail itself of the reserves of hid den moisture that otherwise would be sucked up and lost In the dry air. Of course It 1b not fair to compare the so-called dry land farming dis trict here, with Its 19 to 20 inches av erage rainfall, with semi-arid Crook, but the comparison of farmers and their results here can be made and Is found to be similar to that of Mr. Reuter and his neighbors. In the old er sottled and longer farmed part of our dry land district the farmers who use scientific, modern methods achieve result that are simply wonderful. Sev eral have bocome wealthy in a few yeara by straight farming, doing bet ter than the average on irrigated land. These are not "bonanza farmers" on big tracts either, but men who own from 240 to four or five hundred ac res. ( This statement Is no mere asser tion but is a moderate statement of actual facts. The size of the crops is a matter of record. The best farmers think a yield of 40 bushels of wheat to' the acre nothing to brag about. The quality of the grain and other crops la unsurpassed In Eastern Ore gon or Washington. Bach of the four flouring mills in this valley Is anxi ous to secure hill wheat . It is al most invariably prime milling grain. And It Is not the little draws and valleys between the hills where the best wheat and most of It Is grown. It is the hill sides and hill tops. All farmers are not successful in the hills, but it Is not the fault of the soil or climate. All the foregoing are actual facts and can be verified by the best auth oritythe bankers who handle the money for the crops. In spite of tills showing our county is cursed by a set of knockers who decry on every possible occasion' our best wheat land. Some of these same knockers have grown rich in this county and are therefore like the birds 'that befoul their own nests. Some of them own hundreds and ev en thousands of acres of this wheat land and are ever trying to grab more. They run it down, its possibil ities, its, latent value, its price, yet if you tried to buy some of thai lend you would find it priced a lit tle higher' than the ruling price for similar land. Every part of the county is cursed with these knockers. They are the men' who are doing the roost to keep the county back. If it were not for them, and their brothers-ln-moss, the town knockers, we would have received! 1000 new set tlers in this county during 1911. Do you doubt it? What county In Eastern Oregon can, show the natural resources or the opportunities for In vestors and settlers that Wallowa can Not one. Then why so few of the 25 or 30 thousand .colonists! who have come to Oregon this spring have come here? You answer, lack of publicity. That's true, but If it were not for the knockers there would be publicity. They are the fellows that keep enough strife going to prevent harmony In each town, and to make co-operatlon between the towns possible. ' The knocker is of no' possible use or value to a community. The good knocker Is Jlke the good Indian. He's dead. MRS. a. E. ODLB Piano and Organ Instructor ENTERPRISE, OREGON Tarsal Reasonable Horn Ind.

This Is the new congress, with the House Democratic and 'the Senate Republi can, to use the old names, but In real ity with the Progressives in control of both House and Senate. Congress Is convened in this spec. lal session by President Taft primari ly to pass the Canadian Reciprocity treaty, but some other urgent unfln' iuhed business left by the last congress will be considered. The Tariff Commission bill, an ad ministration' measure, has a good chance for passage. This Is one of the wisest measures ever before con gress. It was first advocated as far as the writer knows by President Ar thur, nearly 30 years ago, but spec lal interests that have controlled all tariff legislation, Republican or Dem ocratic, during that time, have prevent ed its ever getting out of committee rooms. It takes the tariff out of politics In a large measure, and there fore tariff changes will cease to be such a great disturbing element to business every four years. The passage of this bill will be a C. H. ZURCHER RAY E.

The measure that will give Taft enough plumes to stock a wholesale millinery shop, will probably not be considered until the regular session next winter. We refer to the Arbi tration Treaty with Great Britain by which both nations solemnly agree never to go to war with each other for any cause whatsoever, turning all matters of differences, Including those of "vital interest, territory and honor" over to the International Court of Arbitration. This will be the most momentous event since that hot July day In Philadelphia when the boy ran under the tower of Old Liberty Bell, shouting, "Ring, Grandpa, ring for Liberty!" The big difference between the la3t congress and this is that the majority of this congress is composed of men who will not be restricted by unseen ties or antiquated rules and customs from truly representing the people who elected them. The last but why rake up dead ashes? The question of greatest popular in terest that will doubtless be handled at the special session 13 election, of senators by the people. This pro posed amendment will undoubtedly be adopted by the requisite two-thirds vote and then go to the states for ratification'. To get this popular measure thru congress has taken, even longer than to put tariff revision on a scientific basis, all of which just goes to show how little force public opinion has aad liu Washington. Written, by an, Anti-Jingo. From The Dallesi Chronicle. Just to 'give you an idea what the Japanese cavalry can do, we quote from memory what a troop recent ly accomplished. ,In five hours, 15 minutes and 35 seconds. 500 men rode 5798 miles without anything to eat or drink and the horses galloped ev ary inch of the way, most of the jour aey being up hill. This statement is made just to show how tough and. hardy these Japs are. They were al so In nine- different sections of the country at once, beating the Irish man's flea by seven points. And when the horses arrived at the end of the Journey they were as fresh as when they started and all the men turned back hand springs around a mile track. ENLIGHTENED. "Pa," said little Frank, as he turn ed the pages of his history, "can I ask a question?" "What is it my son?" asked his fath er, without looking up from his sport ing page. "How did the cliff dwellers keep warm In the winter time?" "Why, I guess they used the moun tain ranges. Now, don't ask me any more foolish' questions.'' Men. who owe all they have and all they are to an industrious, economic al wife, too often leave her out! when they boast of their success, as most successful men are prone to do . Women may possibly not know enough to vote, though we don't ad mit it; but she certainly knows enough not to sell that vote to the first briber who may happen along. To cure beef tongues: Trim and drop them into boiling water for a few minutes to "plump" them, and close the pores so as to retain the juices. When cool, rub them with a mixture in the proportion of one pint of salt, one teaspoonful of salt-peter and a quarter of a pound! of brown sugar to every twenty pounds of tongue. Pack them In an earthen ves sel, not a tin or iron one; sprinkle lightly with salt and put a weight on top. Turn them every other day, putting the bottom ones on top and packing them closely. Let them lie about ten days, then hang them up, and when dry put them into bags to keep from the fltes. if you do not wish to use a whole tongue at once, It does not hurt to cut one in two.
