S. D. A. Encampment !
The following exerpt from the
Oregonian of June 7, briefly tells
a little of thp aptivitjes at the
Seventh-Dav-Adventist encamp
ment in Portland which we at
tended Saturday and Sunday:
Nation-wj de prohibitipn of the
liquor business was urged in
strong resolutions adopted by the
conference.
After hearing addresses bv
Frederick Griggs and President
Cottrell the conference adopted
resolutions urging that parochial
districts be established by church
es wherever possible. The mat
ter of providing a library of 1500
volumes was presented with the
result that books and pash aggre
gating $200 were pledged at the
meeting.
Attendance at the publip meet?
ings is large. It is estimated

Susan's Home
This is the name of the little
city to be, now consisting of a
couple dwellings, a school house
and a tent six miles west of Wap-
intia, where it is expected that
in the course of 30 or 40 days,
water will reach the Flat through
the large irrigation ditch now
nearing completion.
With the arrival of this water
wonderful possibilities will be
opened up for Juniper Flat. If
reports be true this country is
ideal ..for alfalfa, which at the
present prices of $20 "a ton would
aggregate an immense wealth for
this territory.
Mr. Keen, one of the earnest
promoters of this project, says
that sqme of the best citizens of
the Flat are giving him words of
encouragement, and he expresses
appreciatiqn of the assistance
which has helped bring the work
to the present degree of complex
tion. The following by County
Agriculturalist Chase, is here
printed to emphasise the possi:
bilities for alfalfa on the Flat af
ter water is put qn it:
P. J. Stadelman of Wasco coun
ty has q recprd in alfalfa that is.
hard to beat. From 3 M pprp9
last season 4 tons qf alfalfa and
wheat were cut. The alfalfa and,
wheat were sowed about Qctobep
20 of the previous year and this
was the first year's crop, At the
average price of hay, this crop
means between $4Q0 and $5Cfl
and at last year's prices its actu?
al value is aboijt $J.000P Of course
this crop was a record breaker
and almost a perfect stand and
irrigated, but even under ordin
ary conditions, alfalfa is a crop ,
which will add to the money dt
posits of the bank and to the
fertility deposits of the soil. The
slogan for Wasco county ought to
be, "More alfalfa for Wasco
county."
Tally Vanderpool and fauily
made a trip to Hood River the first
of the week and are leaving this
miniing fir that place to spend
