In connection with thla latter pro duct and tta shipment hero, tho rail- I roads hao announced that ovory June there la to be a regular wool ' wilo at Dead. Thla means that wool from nil over Interior Oregon will ) collected here, that buyers will tome hare, that thousand of ahcof Mill bo sheared here, and that. In tho very near future, woulou mills will be established. In nil aunoys that bavo been mado for a branch Hill road to the southeast, to command connection with ntnilated roads and an outlet In that direction, llend haa beon mado the termlnua point Irrigation. A Carey Act Irrigation acgrogatlon embracing approximately 200,000 acrea, Ilea to the eaat and north of llond. Thla land la watered under tho aupervlalon of tho State of Ore gon, and becomea tho property of settlors who acquire It by residence and Improvement, paying from 1S to M0 an aero for water aorvlco, with an annual maintenance charge of 20 to 80 centa an acre, tho lowest maintenance rato In operation. Non-lrrlgnble acreage la purchased at $2. CO an aero. Directly adjoining llend are two other Irrigation enterprises, both conducted on a farmers' co-operative bnsla, and both exceedingly prosper ous. On the Irrigated lands all the pro due's of tho tomporato xnno prosper. Tho soil nud climate, however, aro particularly adapted to tho success ful production of grasses and root crops. Alfalfa, clovor. grain, pota toes and othor root crops, Including hiigar bents, do remarkably well. The yield of buttor fat from tho grnssoa la exceptionally great, and thla, combined with tho pure noft wntor, nnd tho luck of cxcosslvo boat nud cold, destines this territory to take tho front rank aa a dairy country. Tho establishment or a largo cronmery at Iloud, nud the aid given fanners In aocur'ug flue cows by tho local hanks, means that n man with forty acres who will raise graaa nnd food It to his cowa will bo as sured of a comfortable living. Work la now In progress upon a groat new Irrigation canal, known as tho North Canal, which will Irrigate BoniQ 50,000. acres of land, Tho canal gets tta water from tho Des chutes. , lry Farming. Tributary to fiend on the south east la a huge dry tanning area,1 em bracing more than 230,000 acie of level nnd rolling aago brush land, with doop soil, no troos nnd rocka, nnd with woll water obtnlnablo nt modornto dopths. Much of this territory has boon nettled by homestoadura during the last your, nnd many famlll") nr dally taking advantage of thta last big chncu to 'gut free Government laud. Tho majority of- the acreage Is open to hotiiustmidlng under the 320 aero law, which allows the fret acquisition of that amount In return for resldcnco nnd proportional annual cultivation nud Improvement. The homestead laws nro being made easier and moro attractive, with the result that moro and moro settlors como to llond and make homes on thta land tributary to the town. Good roads oxtend through thla country, and daily auto and stage lines tap It from llond, to which Its products will como on down grade hauls to bo milled with tho Inox- Imustlhlo water power of tho Dos- chuts Itlvcr Immediately below llend, where n dam la being con structed at a cost of ubout G0,000. Tho work In connection with this summor's development or tho new canal will require nn expenditure of J17.r.,000. All or this money will bo sjKjnt close to Bend. Tho entire system will require approximately $700,000 to complote. TIiiiIht. Tributary to llend, on down grade hauls, Is 20,000.000,000 feet of tho finest yellow plno timber, licsldcs providing the cheap power for the milling or this onormoua timber belt, llend offers tho best of mill pond facilities. Tho manufacture of this timber at Uond Is a certainty, for tho largest of tho companies Interested are heavy property owners In llond lands and watcriowcr developments, and have signified their Intontlon of lo cating their big mills here. At present there aro sovcral smaller mills, employing In tho neighborhood or J CO men. While these manufacture lumber primarily for local consumption, not only aro many carloads exported to tho towns north of llend. but also many aro shipped to tho rolddlo western mar kets, which later will be supplied heavily with tho Uond lumber pro ducts.

Tho Inexhaustible nnd cheap powor at her doors guarantees Bend's cxten slvo manufacturing future, liferent Ion. The man ft ho comes to llend or tho adjacent sections of Central Ore. gon will be agreeably surprised at tho pleasant surroundings ho will encounter, both In what nature has supplied and In social matters. For Instance, a L'nlverslty Club recently waa organised In llend with SC charlor members. That Indicates the character of the men who nro building up Central Oregon.

MPROVETHE ' SCHOOLHOUSES Work to (Me the Rural Insti tutions Better. THEY SHOULD BE INVITING. Hv Rooms W.ll Vntllt.d, Llghtsd and Hsatsd Bo That Hsalth and Mental Cnsrgy of tht School Chil dren Shall Not Do Impslrod. The past twenty years have witness ed u marked advance In school archi tecture In many towns Ju the rural sections of the country. More atten tion la Udng paid today to school buildings, sanitation, aurroundlugs and location than ever uofore. The United States was slow In making the star, but now that the Initiative has been taken there Is no excuse for progrea lve school directors not doing every thing In their power to relegate tho old, obsolete nnd frequently Insani tary buildings to oblivion, replacing them with modern, up to date, sanitary and sightly schoolhouscs. "The need for an enlightened nnd liberal policy In schoolbouse construc tion to tho end that tho schoolbouse be attractive In appearance and scien tifically constructed cannot bo too strongly urged," saya lowa'a auperln teudeut of public Instruction. "It may require a few dollars more to aecore such a scboothouse. but It should bo remembered that the district la build ing for half a century at least, and only tho bent ahould bo considered. The schoolbouse with Its surroundings should bo tho most attractive place In tho district. In which every cblld and every patron will tnke pride. And tlw schoolroom should not only be Inviting, but It should be so ventilated, lighted nnd heated that the physical health and mental energy of the children shall not tx Impaired." The problem of supplanting tne oia schoolhnuw with n new structure car ries with It the discussion of several Important topics, chief among them lclng the school site, the school build Ingnndtho ventilation of the building. We can do no bolter In this connection than to quoto from Professor W. II. Gemmllt, superintendent of schools In Pallas county. la., who gives practl ail advice on all these nubject.

No school ground should over contain less than one acre. with a frontage of 180 feet and n depth of 210 feet. In tho larger con solldalcdtllstrlct it should contain uoc le than two nnd itmy very proporly contain three acres. If possible It should be an elevated plcco of ground, n emnll knoll or a pontic aIote, nnd tho drainage should bo nway from tho yard nnd house-. The soil should bo tight, dry nnd porous. A sandy or gravelly subsoil affords tho best draln ngCj whHe an eastern or a southern slopo secures rapid evaporation. Un der no circumstances should tho stra tum bo clay Impenncabre to ground water. It Is desirable that the school house ahould Iw located near tho geo graphical center of the district, and the board should select the site with this In mind, but the site should be high and dry and the brightest and most beautiful spot near the center Ondcr no conditions should pleasant and wholesome surroundings bo sacri ficed If a bettor and more suitable site can be secured some llttlo distance awn v. The additional distance in trav eling wltl bo labor well spent if there by the pupils are placed In more beau tiful and inspiring scene. 'The foundation walls of tho school house ahould bo brick or atone and ex tend a llttlo below frost line. The walls sbonld bo nt least one foot In thlcknoM and extend about three feet abavo the surface. It Is usually well to have a vertical air chamber, and If there Is no basement suitable ventila tors should bo provided on each of the four side so n to permit of thorough Ventilation of the space between the surface and the floor during the sum mer month. Good shutters should bo provided for these openings In order that tho winter's cotd may not affect tho air within tho room near to the Boor. "No more Important question ia be fore the farmer today than that Involv ing the bousing of his children of school age. With an awakened appre ciation of tho fact that better rural schools will bring about a stay at homo family which will not And It necessary to seek the town for the desired educa tion there baa come n realization ofho fact that more practical atndles mast be taught In mora sanitary and more sightly building."
