After aptv.ding tlirea days in Jimna in looking t, the atatistien in the laud orlice they accurod the Horvioes. of a loeater and went to Lawns whore they spent some time in looking ewer the territory tributary to that poant. While there they spent ome time. in looking over tha territory tributary ,to that point. While there they carefully inspected the land laying around .both Harney and Malheur lakes. T.hia land, while very' productive with water, is not adapted to dry farming, and white there were some very gaid looking crops they did not compare with those in the vicinity of Law,ns where you could see crojm of all kuvda grow ing, wheat that would go from twon tyfive to thirtyflve bunhels .to the acre,, oats that will go fifty bushels to the acre, the finest potatoes and garden vegetables and fruit that you can find anywhere without water and that with water would iar exceed anything that can be found in the Yakima val ley which has a repu tation over the entire northwest as being one of the finest on the Pacific slope. While tha stage trip in was enough to disgust anyone, it) was not so bad at that. One went through a section of country that was rough and you did not see anything of the valley, therefore it was no wonder that those who went in on one stage and came out on the other were disgusted. On the return trip Mr. Ilanna and party secured an automobile and came out via Harney City, the agency, Dur eey, Westfall, Vale and Ontario, mak ing the trip by easy stages. The par ty was much surprised to see the vast improvement that has been made in that section during the lust few years, when a person could have travelled for a day at a time without meeting a liv ing soul and you had to do some grent figuring to I able to get a place where you could stop over night.

WERE PLEASED WITH HOP YARDS The visit of the excursion train con taining president and representatives of,the;leiuling agricultural colleges and experiment stations in the Ujiiited Stages and Canada,, was an interesting and unusual event in our city. Ilie traiu with the distinguished traveAeri under the direction of Tom Kichurd- son a! the Portland Commercial Club,, pulled into the station at oue o'cl.ick on Monday afternoon. Dr. O. 1). Butler, president of the Independence Commercial Club, had made arxangununta for carriages and other means of conveyance, to convey the visitors to the hop yards and other points of interest m the neighbor hood. TJiere were about ssxty-rive in the party, .among them being several ladies, wivea and f rends of the visit ors. While a 'part of the company !' were inspecting some of the larger yards on the east side, others were shown around the yards on this aide of the river. : ' , Great interest was manifested by the visitors in the growing 'of hops, and the manner oi harvesting and prepar ing for market, and every group de veloped a vast number of interroga tion points. Two hours only were al lowed for the trip to the yards, and at 3:30 all had returned to the station and the train ready to depart. . Many of the visitors were most en thusiastic in their estimate of the Willamette valley, and this part of it in particular. One prominent mem ber of the party was heard to say that in all his' travels over the United States, he had seen nothing that could 1.e forerunners of " hop pickers aaiva commenced to arte and the MHNon will fairly be ofned in about tulayi..

The popu lation increases from about 2,000 to 10,000 people, and there is generally something doing all the time. There seems to bo something in the air, just like horse race times, and one and all ate willing to go their last dollar on any kind of a proposition. As a re sult of the near approach of the fes tivities of hop picking Bill South passed through town on his way home from Prineville where he has bee with his string of race horses and af ter passing the compliments of the day wifh his old friend Bill Percival, they commenced to talk horse and as a result Percival matched his three- year-old filly, Miss Condon, against South's horse LaMonte for a quarter oi a mile for a purse of $100. The horses were evenly matched and it was a cuess amone those who followed the compare with the Willamette valley, . to - k out the winnerr Mis3 in point of beauty, fertility, and gen- Condon won by about tw0 lengths the eral excellence.

A. Kemp, of Corvallis, will 'run his Jim Hilli.rd returned from his hunting trip on the coast on Wednes day. In company with (J. W. Conkey and Dr. Dunsmore, he went out about two weeks ago, but unwilling to re- iturn and be forced to report hk lack of success, he remained several days after his companions had given up the huue. But in spite of most strenuous efforts, he was forced to give it up, and be content with very satisfactory catches of fish, which he was fortun ate to secure. During the stay in Newport, Mr. Conkey indulged in deep sea fishing, paying the usual penalty in his contribution to the deep, in consequence of an attack of '"mal-de-mer". Koss Nelson, who was in the same party, appeared (o be immune from the general distressed condition of most of them, and his command of "Heads up" whenever some of the fair ones made frantic cries of "Yewrup", did not contribute to his general pop ularity. There are those who would have gladly contributed to some means whereby he too, might have been forced to feed the fishes.
