The Shepherd’s Bulletin, a Bos
ton sheep publication, w hich is au
thority on w ool, sheep and kindred
subjects, saj s that the Oregon
wool now reaching the Boston
markets is the best grade eve1
produced in the state and superior
to any wool of a like class pro
duced in the United States. The
clip this year was lighter in dirt
and grease, making it a better buy
for the mills, the quality is unex
celled in texture and uniformity of
fibre and taken all through, the
crop of wool just sold in this state
touches the top notch as a result
of constant care and grading of
sheep, and also as a result of im
prov ing methods in handling sheep
and wool crops. The chiefest
feature of the wool crop this year
was that it brought a higher price
than fot a number of years and
was sold out to the last sack
This is 1 Ivar evidence that it pays
to be progressive, it pays la be
right, it pais to build up, and it
pay s to take care of stock in a
systematic .mil scientific manner.

Columbia Sou hern Irrigation com
pany will have completed its work
of reclaiming 27,000 acres of land
in the Tornello basin About 40
miles of the main ditch have now
been finished and the crowd of (¡0
men at work excavating will have
completed the main canal and the
necessary laterals inside of a few
months The entile work it is ex
pected will be ready for the state’s
approval by this time next year.
The main canal is 30 feet wide
where thu waters of the Tumello
feed into it but this gradually nar
rows down to a width of 12 feet
whereit empties into the Deschutes.
It is stated that 27)0 families have
purchased land under the canal
and that a greater part of the segre
gation will be sett ed and under
cultivation next year. About 1O,-
000 acres of land still remain lobe
covered by the Water which will
flow down the extentiou of the main
canal when completed.
Active work in this region WAR
commenced only two vears ago and
has been pushed with considerable
energy since tli.it time. It is ex
peeled that another two vears will
be required to lav out all the later
als needed to leach the outlying
tracts
