li': HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON TIME C A R » NO. S4. IB fclO ATKM I B Y N V O L F lilB YB AB FOB W OOL. .-- ------ - — -<------ U m 4 Than Baker City— A novel plan in thla eection is being adopted fxoro to reclaim the arid land« lying a lew milee east of town. A few weeks ago W . J. Patterson and associates sold 780 acres of this land to Wisconsin men, who immediately be gan clearing it of sage brash. When this was completed a steam plow ran by a traction engine was placed in op eration and a large part of the land prepared for seeding. W ells have been sank to water and pampa w ill be in stalled to be operated by gasoline en i gines. The wells aré so situated that a Urge area can be covered by water. M r. Patterson U placing under culti vation a large tract of Und in a similar manner, except that instead of gasoline engines he has installed motors and . w ill ran hU pomps by electric power. H is land is on the line between this city and the Cyclone mine. M r. Pat terson estimates that each pomp w ill Nirrigate 80 acres. H is plant w ill begin fa ll operation next week. He thinks the cost of power w ill not exceed that o f keeping op irrigating ditches. There is a large body of rich Und ly ing east of town which U practically useless without water on the surface. Water can be obtained in quantities by sinking from 15 to 40 feet. Should this venture prove a success from a financial standpoint, it is ex pected thousands of acres w ill. be re claimed in this way when the Urge ¿electric power plant on Eagle creek shall have been completed. STO C K P M 5 P B C 1 S A B B OOOD. . B a stera La Grande— C. J* M illie, livestock agent for the O. R. A N ., has returned from an extended tour to the interior of Oregon, where he covered a vast csope o f country, including Grant, Harney and Crook counties, and was compelled to make the trip incomplete on aocouqt o f bad roads, as they are impassable in many places on account of spring wash outs and many bridges are swept away. Mr. M illie reports that 'stock pros pects are very good all through Eastern Oregon and he thinks there w ill be the best range this year lot many years past. The spring rains and freshets have done the work for the range, even though they have swept away bridges and rained many roads, and he also thinks that the hay crop w ill be ahead ' c f any for many years. But the prices of stock are not the best now, though a change is being looked for soon. There is an overplus throughout the country, too many stock everywhere. Oregon has a good range and this is established for the present year, and the stockmen w i’ l be able to hold the stock for better prices. As soon as the roads w ill permit, Mr. M illie w ill complete the trip through the interior. C e m la g B r e s t * . Grand ledges I. O. O. F. and Rebek- ahsv Astoria, May 17-19.

Whiteaker farm near this 'place with a capital stock of $ 100 , 000 . Development was begun on this prop arty more than a year ago. A well was sunk over 900 feet and work stopped for lack of better machinery. New machinery w ill now be put on the grounds and the work pushed. Besides the oil indications discovered so far the water flowing from the borings made is strongly impregnated with salt. f — ON , ‘ — e g g « - - ,, i,, .i-r- , riM, Union S a w m ills t o S ta r t. La Grande— The Casey sawmill at H ilgard, Or., a/few milee from this eity w ill start its summer run in a few days. The m ill w ill cut 3,000,000 feet of lum ber this season.- The Perry m ill w ill «soon start on its run. The Water in the Grand Ronde has been in fine shape for the bringing down of logs and all the m ills in Eastern Oregon w ill cut large amounts of logs this summer. ll— 1 Pendleton— Sheep shearing is about half over, taking Um atilla county as a whole, and the results of shearing so far have justified early expectations of what the clip would be. The grade is higher, the texture finer. W hat is lost in weight because the clip is cleaner this spring is nearly compeh sated by the greater length of strands and w ill probably b e more than com pen sated by the improved prioe it w ill obtain over d irty wool. W ith one exception, only a few small clips, trifling in comparison with the ei tire output, have been sold. Moot of them belonged to smaller sheepmen in the sand district, who needed the money or were acAred into letting go by pessimistic talk of buyers. By thees from.fi to 12 cents was realised. “ The outlook for good prices keeps up to the mark, and I can see nothing in the situation in the United 8 tates, or in the world, for that matter, which would justify a prediction of a market at all weak,” said J. H . Ginn, secre tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers’ as sociation. “ In fact, I beljeve sale* days w ill see prices a shade better than were received last year. Grow ers should hold their clip until the sales, and 1 think none of them w ill be sorry for it .” Laud Business Slackens.
