The farmers u the lleud country arc beginning to harvest their hay crop and the yield it going to provu very Milisfaclory. In spite of'n cold and backward upring, which .seemed to be common in all partt of the United States, the cut of hay will be heavy. The Uultctiu hat been making a few inquiries regarding crop conditions and all reports re ceived arc favorable. llrown & N'lswongcr will begin cutting clover this week on the former Kowlcc ranch just cast of lleud. 1 hey rcjiort that the crop has made an excellent growth and will cut easily a,'-i tons to the acre This hay, delivered in Item!, will biiiiK n prke of $i. per ton. They also reHirt that they will have a very heavy yield of black rasp berries, as the bushes are lilcralls loaded with fruit.

Aside from straw berries, the bcrrv crop will be good J. H. Dean, just east of llend, will cut a crop of clover this week, the first cutting from the field. The clover stands nearly to his waist ami he says it will go 2)4 tons to the ucie. The first cutting of al fulfil it now in progress on the Haldwlu ranch ami is also very sat isfactory.

I). WIU.HT.) While considerable hat been said in the past in reference to llcud'n IxMiitlful building nnd theefTicicncy of its school course, a question of greater importance than these it Demi's location for school purposes. As an illustration of what wc de tire to say, we mny call attention to the well known fact that apples can be successfully grown in almost all localities in the United States, but very few hectiont possets both soil and climatic conditions to pioducc the high quality so bountifully raised in some of the Oregon and Washington fruit districts; so alto can any community with children and meant have .1 school, but favor able natural conditions for excel lence in obtaining an education are as essential if not more .so than in the production of fruit. While attention hat to be given more or less to population for the location of an institution, yet the DENDS PUBLIC SCHOOL OUILDINQ. natural conditions surrounding Athens, the ancient educational ideal, nrc usually sought foras close at circumstances will permit. "Athens, the eye of Greece, the mother of aits and eloquence, na tive to famous wits." In this con nection it will be noticed that al most nil the higher successful insti tutions in America as welt as in litirox; were located with this in view. In this respect it is a notice able fact that older institutions in lloston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, San Francisco nud other cities have sunk almost into obscur ity in comparison with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Ann Arbor and Stanford located eithcriu sub urban or more rural vicinities. llcml an (deal Location. Located on an open plain nt nu elevation of jooo feet above sea level, with the Cascade mountains in full view to the west, it continu nlly receives the benefit of pure mountain ami pine laden nir. Lo cated only about one hundred miles inland, the winter temperature is moderated by the effects of the Japanese current nud the summer temperature is pleasantly lowered by the cool breezes from the snowy peaks of the Cascades, a condition that prevents both exceedingly low winter or exceedingly high summer temperatures. In this respect an examination of the Climatological Reports for Orcgou, for 1902 to 1906 inclusive, shows the lowest and highest mean monthly temper ature during the nine school mouths during five years to have been 27.2 and 57.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Another iuipartaut feature with the clltnalological subject is the atmospherical condition, the report for the same five years hhowitiK an annual average of only 56 rainy days and 75 cloudy days, or an average of about one rainy day per week. I'tilly realizing the listles ucss and stupor that the rainy day produces, JJcnd's superior location over a vicinity with a rainy season throughout almost the entire school year it preeminently clear. Ilnvlronrncnts. Under this important subject it included scenery, natural education al opitortuuitics, social conditions, etc., that aftbrd opjvntmiities and also tend to 'relieve and refresh the mind from too close and constant application. In scenery Itcnd con not be surpassed by any school lo- calitv, and while nature has been exceedingly lavish in this respect man hat and is continually adding more scenery everywhere. liven the school building is erected on a beautiful knoll partly surrounded with an irrigation ditch. At a dis tance of about two hundred yards direct from the school building the waters of the magnificent Deschutes foam and leap over a rapid, and looking further on over the tops of tall pines for thirty miles, three snow-capped peaks arc plainly visi ble. Iooking from the principal's room on the cast side, at a distance 6f one mile the beautiful and sym metrical Pilot llutte raises its head vc hundred feet above the town. From the top of Pilot llutte, the laudscatic student finds a rich and most wonderful panorama. Protn the base, spreading out to the north ami cast over the 250,000 acres of laud, can be seen the main canals and numerous laterals of the Des chutes Irrigation & Power Com pany's irrigation system and scat tered nnd dotted over it like a checker board are the beautiful green ranches, rapidly increasing each year. Looking of! to the northwest, dount Hood raises its snowy head; then coming south nlotig the Cascade range the follow ing snow-chid peaks appear in succession: Mt. Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Washington, llrokeii Top, the Three Sisters and Diamond Peak. Looking again to the northwest and sweeping around to the northeast and south, the fol lowing mountain ranges nud promi nent buttes appear in succession. Dlack llutte, Clitic llutte, Mutton Mountains, I lay Stack, Grey Iluttes, Grizzly Mountain, Powell Iluttes, Illue Mountains, Paulina Moun tains nud nu array of buttes, in cluding the noticeable Lava littttc, too numerous to designate by names. The wonderful Deschutes, the same yesterday, today nud tomorrow, n large river, draining n territory ns large is Massachusetts nud Con necticut combined, having an aver age fall of about fifty feet to the mile, with basalt-walled canyons both above and below lleud, affords wonderful opportunities.

Asks for Modern Measure. PAYORS TIIF- WYOMING CODE Adopts Resolution IJrelns the Legis lature to (Jive the State of Oregon an lifflclent Water Statute. At the annual meeting of the Arnold Irrigation Company held in Hend on Monday, July 13, the stockholders of that organization took a firm stand in favor of a new water law for Oregon. T,hcy recog nize the need of such a measure, and the beneficial effect a modern water code would have on the de velopment of the stale, especially in Central ana Jiastern uregon where irrigation plays such an im portant part. In order to give ex pression to their sentiments in this regard, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WllRRitvt, The present meaningless and ambiguous laws concerning the use of water in the State ol Oregon are a productive source for ditaiteruus litiga tion; a detriment to the social nd finan cial development of the arid lesions of the state, and afford no security to vett ed rights, ami WliKRKAt, The legislature has re peatedly failed to enact beneficial laws to nrotect and encourage irrigation and other beneficial water interests in the state; therefore be it Kksolvkd, by the stockholders of lis Arnold Irrigation Company at their an nus! meeting in Hend, Oregon, on July 13, l)oK.

Kksoiaku, That wc not only highly cornnend the efforts of our state land ,34isl and state engineer for their work in this direction before the last legisla ture, but also respectfully iwk them to reuew-their efforts in our behalf and to represent us before the next legislature, in the endeavor to secure a proper water law. KitsouvKn, That not only all users of water for irrigation, mining, domestic and other purpose, cither as individuals or as companies, but also all who may 'be interested in tltc social and financial upbuilding of the state, and particularly the press, be asked to join us in this most worthy nnd usseutial cause. Work Qti the company's canal has been going forward with pleas ing success during the summer. A ditch 12 feet on the bottom is be ing constructed from the end of the flume to the Silver Lake road, and the greater part of this work is now completed. The canal will un doubtedly be entirely completed to the above mentioned point by the 1st of September. At that point the canal will then branch into two main canals or laterals, one ex tending northward toward Bend and the other almost due east for a distance of eight or nine miles.
