Iril) Terrebonne, both tho town and
country surrounding, Is showing con
siderable progress this year, with
200 heifer calvos, of good dairying
stock. Imported from Tillamook
county, a big acreage In wheat, and
2000 acres bolng put under water
In the tributary Lone Pino Qap dis
trict Another thing which will bo ot
much Importance to both tho town
and tin surrounding communities
will be the erection of a farmers' co
operative warehouse. The site for
the warehouse has already been do
nated to the Terrebonne Farmers'
union by the railroad companies. Tho
building 1 to be of frame struc'ure
and. as at present planned, will cost
$1800 Lumber Mill arrive on the
ground and construction commence
within the next 30 days. It will be
ready to receive Terrebonne's crops
this fall.
Whrut Acreage I.arne.
Ordinarily a hay and dairy country.
Terrebonne's chief crop this tall will
bo wheat. This condition, bound to
bo more or less abnormal, has been
brought about by the addition of
new land, cloared for wheat produc
tion on account of tho present high
prices, but chiefly because ot the
early frost last fall which caught
the alfalfa and clover of the com
munity beforo tho sap had left th
stalks. This frost killed, perhaps
20per cent ot the total acrcago ot
olover and alfalfa, which accounts
for tho predominance ot wheat this
season.
leading In tho production of
wheat will be Kvorltt Almcter, who
has 160 aoros of Irrigated land in
I that crop this year. Fifty acres have
previously been devoted to the grow-
j Ing of hay.
Oeorgo II. Qregory will have 120

vate subscriptions. The administra
tion of the Ited Cross cannot bo car
ried on as are the untlonal naval
and military operations. Itellef work,
ulsa, must cut red tape, must be
promptly ready for every emergency,
must be governed by humanitarian
principles and quick decisions and
must not be hampered by the re
strictions of governmental machln
r. At tho same time the Ited Cross
Is the only relief agency formally
authorized by the government. Its
head Is the President of the United
States. Its accounts are audited by
the war department. It Is chartered
hv Congress. President Wilson de
clares: "A large, well organized and ef
ficient Ited Cross Is essential. It is
both n patriotic and humane sorvleo
that Is renderod by overy oltlxen who
becomes n mambor of the American
Hcd qross," i
Hod Cross subscriptions need not
be paid nil at one time. One-fourth
Mill bo due July 1; one-fourth, Aug
iikt 4; one-fourth, September 1, and
the balance, October 1,
A task ns great as that of gottlng
the subscriptions Is to Inform overy
man, woman and child of tho Utr
poses and emergency charuotor bf
the campaign before Hed Cross Week,
as proalalmod by the President, which
begins Juno IS. Community com

In this world war somo must givo

being In the minority, tho Desert
Land Hoard today decided to comply
with the request ot tho Central Ore
gon Irrigation Company that the,
state ask the Department of the In
terior for a five year extension of
the contract between the stato and
the government for the reclamation
of lands contained In Segregation
list number 6.
The lands In list six aro an import
ant portion of the company's segre

reclaimed under the Carey Aet. If
the state does not obtain nn exten
sion ot the contract with the Federal
government, that portion ot the lands
which are unclaimed when tho con
tract oxplros revert to the govern
ment as general public lands.
A group of settlers on the pro
ject opposed the company's deslro
for an extension of tho contract.
Tho action of the board today fal
lowed a stormy session lu which
State Englneor Lewis sought to In
duce tho board to take no action un

question whether the company's

Statements made by the cashiers
of both the First Notional and Cen

dicate that Saturday was by far tho

Doth banks wore crowded, to tho
utmost until the last minute Satur
day evening and upon tho opening ot
the bank doors at 10 o'olook this
morning the ruBh wos resumed. Up
to noon today the lobbies wero still
crowded.
Another featuro of Saturday's
pay day is the fact that a slightly
larger percentage ot tho' mouoy Is
deposited this month than formerly.
E. M. Lam, cnahlor ot tho First Na
tional Hunk, states that tho usual
percentage ot deposit from pay rolls
has boon about 40 per cent. Tho GO
por cent balance Is given out by the
bank In cash.
II. M. Stephens, cashier ot the
Central Oregon Hank, estimates from
tho business that his bank has been
doing that tho Saturday pay roll
will roach about 30 per cent Increase
ovor the. pay rolls of the past. Al
though he could not bo certain until

FOUR MILES OF WALK
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
Four miles of sidewalk havo beca
constructed in Dend slnco tho coun
cil order was passed April 3, which,
required that six miles of sidewalk,
needed to Insure mall delivery, be
built. A second warning to prop
erty ownors who have' not met the
requirements ot Hie council Is being
sent out from the oftlee ot IL C.
Ellis, city recorder, .today.
Ten days' time from tho date that
the second warning Is given wilt bo

their walks completed. It they aro
not in as required by that time, tho
city will construat'tho waller at a
charge of $20 for "each 50 foot lot,
This Is, according td Mr. EIIU. a
charge of $5 above tho cost ot tho
walks when done by- private con
tract and Is being done by tho city
council to force as many property
owners as possible to construct their
own walks.
The walks required by the order
of the city council are wood and muit
be six feet wide.

(From Tuesday's Dally.)
That Uend will hae a free city
mall delivery established by August
1, was the prediction of Hobert D.
Qodld, oily engineer, this morning,
All that remains is the construc
tion ot cross walks and two additional
miles of sidewalk. IIMs will be op
onod this afternoon for the building
of the crosswalks, while tour of thn
six miles of required sidewalk havo
already boon put In and the balance
will be built by the city and charged
to the proporty owners If not com
pleted within the next 10 days
Other required matters have been
worked out, sueh as the numboriiiR
of houses and the placing of street
signs on strwt eoruers. Houses
built during the past four or five
months have not been numbered,
but this can be done within a few
days.
"I believe the city will have readi
ed all roqulremonts ot tho postal
authorities by July 15." said Mr
Oould. "As sobn as. this is done, C
W. Llnebaugh, postal inspector for
this district, will bo notified at Port
laud and make the inspection."
Postmastor II. D. Fp'rd has re
ceived assurance thatj'the free de
livery system win nou instituted as
soon as the sidewalks and crosswalks
are completed. One delivery, ho
says, will be all that is uocessary,
duo to tho late arrival ot tho evening
train, which makes a delivery the
same day impossible.
