Erlckson ami N. P. Welder of Ucnd
nnd W. P. Myers of I.aidlaw will
soon begin the manufacture of land
planter from the gypsum deposit at
Hear Creek huttcs. This will re
quire a grinding plant, nnd while

will ptobabty k located at the
former place. In that cane, the
raw material will be hauled from
the mines to Ilcnd and mntiufnc
turctl. Two hundred tons of the land
plaster have already been spoken
for by locul farmers. Roberts Bros,
want several tons, as does also M.
M. Davenport of the Davenport
Stanley ranch. Mr. Davenport,
who lived at Hood River for years
and is thoroughly acquainted with
that famous fruit valley, is quoted
as having said that the land there
would not be worth anything if it
were not for the laud plaster used.
Several other farmers hereabouts
have signified their intention of us
ing the land plaster as soon as it
can be secured.
The promoters are starting this
enterprise on a small scale which
they are confident will expand into
considerable magnitude as soon as
the railroad reaches us. Hood

The deposit of the Kvtmun clay.
from which the laud plaster is
made, is Apparently immense. A

through it and no sinus of the hot

WHAT DO WE HEAR
OF THE HARVEST
A Pew Crop Notes from the lr
rigatcd Land Hereabout.
QOOD YI&D IN ALL LINES
Alfalfa end Grain Crops Show Up
Well, with Heavy Production of
Potatoes A Pew Interesting
Pacts and Figure.
In connection with other crops,
W. II. Staats has grown some ex
cellent timothy on his place adjoin
ing town this year. Just before
cutting, the timothy stood four feet
10 inches high, with heads fiom
six to eight inches long. It is as
fine timothy as one sees anywhere.
Mr. Stoats also raised some excel
lent oats, with heads literally load
ed with large kernels of grain. M,
Kcllcy, the Shevlin Lumber Com
pany's representative, said he had
been In every state in the Union
and never saw finer oats grown In
ariy section.
The banner crop of alfalfa so far
reported was grown by II. II.
Mitchell on his farm at Powell
Huttcs. Mr. Mitchell got three
cuttings from his tract, which aver
aged six tons to the acre. For
this he has been offered $12 a ton
as it stands in the stack. Figure
that for yourselfgross returns $73
per acre. Deducting the cost of
farming, will leave cosily fao'clcar
profit per acre. Counting interest
at 10 per cent, the farm would re
turn this year 10 per cent interest
on a valuation of 500 per acre.
E. A. Ilussctt, also in the Powell
Huttcs sectjou, has a field of oats
tlat Messrs. Hunter and Staats say
is the finest oats they ever saw. It
stands thick and heavy on the
ground, higher than the fence, and
Mr. Hunter says it is good for 80
bushels an acre. It is reported
that Mr. Ilussctt will clear j 1,000
this year from 40 acres which he
has into hay, grain, potatoes, etc.
C. A. Graves was in Dcnd yes
terday morning. He says he has
beans, watermelons and tomatoes
on his farm near Powell Puttes,
aud they are still practically un
hurt by the frost. Mr. Graves has
lived iu this section for many years,
and has great faith in its future.
The potato crop over the segre
gation is immense this year. A
large yield Is reported, especially
from the Powell Hutte section, nnd
the quality us usual is At. Pota
toes iu this immediate vicinity are
also yielding very well.
Chas. Swauson's wheat, of which
The Hullctin made mention several
weeks ngo, threshed 53 bushels an
acre from a part of his field. The
average yield we have not been
able to secure, but It ran very high.
Receipts Prom National lorests.
The following table shows the
receipts from the national forests of
Oregon for the fiscal year begin
ning July 1, 1908, and ending June
30, 1909. Twenty-five per cent of
these receipts, are turned over to
the road and school funds of the
county iu which the forest lies.

CREW ON POWER
DAM INCREASED
Italian
Laborers Brought Out
Prom Portland.
CAR OP CEA.ENT COMING IN
Work on the Project la Doing Forward
Steadily and Much la Being Ac
compllshed Change (n Mans
From Ones First Adopted.
Work on the power dam at Ilcnd
is going forward steadily, of wbicb
the people of the town are fully
aware, judging by the numerous
heavy blasts they hear each day.
The crew has been augmented by
to Italian laborers who came in
from Portland last Saturday. A
car load of cement is on the wa
from Shaniko to boused in the con
crete work in various parts of the
dam and power plant. The cement
is a very expensive item in the cost
of construction. Laid down at
Shaniko it amounts to f 3.80 a bar
rel. Freighted into fiend takes an
additional $500 or a total cost of
$8.80 per barrel.
Considerable changes have been
made in the construction of the
jdam and power plant from the plans
first contemplated. The main dam
as originally planned will cross
the river on an east and west line.
Running north some 300 feet from
the cast end of the dam and at
right angles to it, another dam or
retaining wall be built, approxi
mately where the east bank of the
river originally stoodv Through
this dam, which runs north and
south, will be placed spillways
through which the surplus water
will be discharged into the present
bed of the stream. From the north
end of this dam, the water will be
conducted through a short canal to
the power plant and dropped 14
I feet upon the wheels. This so-
called canal runs through a ridge of
land and will require an excavation
even feet deep. The ground east
(and northeast of the dam and ex
tending back to the rimrock, will
all be under water. A bridge will
be built across the bop of the dam
and spanning the entire river.
The power plant will be built
with a capacity of rjoo horsepow
er, but all construction is planned
so that the plant may be easily en
larged, whenever desired.
DOUBLE WHEAT YIELD.
Central Oregon WHI Greatly Increase
Cereal Output when Railroads Come.
T. D. Wilcox, of the Portland
Plouring Mills, says that, with
transportation, Central Oregon will
greatly Increase the production of
wheat. The tract of a quarter
milliou acres lyiug southeast of
Bend, now being filed upon by
bquiesteaders, will play its part in
this increase. In regard to ihh
the Portland Telegram said:
Central Oregon will. In a few years,
double the cereal crop of the raciiT
Northwest, Is the belief of Theodore BV
Wilcox, of the I'orlUud Plouring Mill--
In other words. Central Oregon will
produce alone a crop equal to that now
raited, In Oregon and Washington, air.
Wilcox. U probably the best authority on
the subject of wheat In this section of
the country, owiiiK to his business anil
the necessity of studying the future of
exporting.
"There are about 3,500.000 acres tit
the Northwest devoted to wheatralslug,'
cnaiucu air. v iiciix, ami with am
average of so.bus.hels to the acre, tho
crop this year would lie 50,0110,001) bush
cl. Hut this aeanon the crop doea not
tcrRe anywhere near an bushel to the
acre, and I believe that the yield will be
nnder 50,000,000. This can be demon
strated by the threshers. Every man,
of course, says that he has a full crop,
but that the other have not, tut we
nuke Inquiries from 350 point in the
country, and can sain a pretty good
Idea of Ihe aitnation.
"In Central Oregon there are million
am) millions of acre of land which, un
less I am greatly mistaken in the nature
or the soil, will be excellent for grain
Rrowlng without irrigation. Out of
thi vast territory in Central Oregon
there must be at least 3,500,000 acres
available for wheau This is as large a
grain acreage a is now used in Oregon
and Washington, and. considered m
bushel to the acre, It I easy to ee that
the yield of the Northwest will be
doubled by Central Oregon.
"All that Central Oregon has needed
to open up the new wheat belt is a rait
road, and with two line now entering
that section it will be a matter of only a
short time before the country will de
velop. Increasing the wheat yield will
not reduce price. Jarae J. Hill says
that within six year the United States
will be importine wheat If Hill is cor
rect Iq hi prediction, wheat and flour.
instead of being shipped from the Pacific
Coast to the Orient, will be sent to the
Bast, and we will be raising wheat for
home consumption exclusively. With
such a condition of aflairs there is not
ranch danger of price falling through
the exploitation of wheat Celd in Cen
tral Oregon."
Judge Ellis in a Holdup.
Judge H. C. Ellis, on his way
home from the East, was on the
train which was held up the other
night near Leadville, Colo. The
bandits blew open the express car
and shot off two heavy cbarces of
dynamite under the strosg box, but
tailed to open it. The Salt Lake
Herald 'Republican had as inter
view from Judge Ellis in which he
praised very highly a colored por
ter, who went through the train
immediately after it was held ud.
calmed the passengers, told them
to get into their berths, and keep
quiet. He then tursed out all the
lights in the cars. It is believed
that the turning out of the lights
kept the robbers froa molesting
the passengers, as the robbers
would not care to cater a darkened
car. The porter also went to the
rear of the train and lighted the
red lights, thereby preventing a
collision with another train that
came up behind them while they
were being detained.
A letter headed by Judge Ellis
and signed by 23 passengers was
seat to the division superintendent
of the Pullman compaay, asking
that the porter be rewarded for his
effective work.
A Remarkable Run.
Undoubtedly one of the most re
markable runs ever made' my an
automobile through Central Oregon
was the one recently accomplished
by J. H. Wenandy's machine on a
trip south lrom Bend with H. A.
Hunter of Minneapolis. The ma
chine went south through the
Klamath Falls and Lakeview coun
try and back to Priueville, cover
ing a distance of uoo miles in 10
days and having stopped only 40
minutes for repairs. Mr. Hunter
phoned to Mr. Wcnandy from
Priueville and told him it was the
best auto trip be had ever taken
and was loud in his praises of the
driver, Chauffeur Fox. From
Prineville they were supposed to
have gone to Shaniko, but it de
veloped later that they crossed the
mountains into the Valley and ran
to Portland, from which point Mr.
Fox; was bringiug the machine
home. The record made during
the last part of the trip is not yet
known, but it was undoubtedly a
good one.
