After Harney County had "fath ered" tho bill, pushed with nil our influence, both local and offi cial, put our masterful forco and energy back of it, through and into it with tho promise from both stato and nation that our vast semi-arid domain would at least receive a consideration and just investigation, it now trans pires that tho cuniriiission nover even gave us a thought and nev er had any intention of it Will they keep us down? Never! Tho editor of this religious weekly has known William Ilon ley for about twonty-five years, during which time ho has nover known him to do anything that a gentleman would be ashnmqd of, and knows that ho has done more -to induce settlement of this countv and to brine capital in to develop the country and has done more in the way of development of the country himself than any other one man; and instead of fencing up the public land has been building canals, ditches and telephones and causing many thousand .dollars to be paid out annually for labor and stock; and thereby making many happy homes. Whatever is thought of Mr. Hanlev away from home he can console himself with the knowledge of being loved and respected at home where he is best known. SIX INDICTED TOR FGNCINQ. Six indictments charging f raud ulent fencing of public lands in Oregon were returned by the federal grand jury, says tho Portland Journal. Tho princi pal defendant is William Hanley, alleged to have "foncad for his own use" some 80,000 acres of government land in Harney county. Tho indictment further says that Hanley refused to givo other persons access to tho land for the purpose of settlement, and "that he even excluded them from crossing the tract to lands lying beyond." Similar indictments enraging possession of smaller tracts were found against O. C. Jennings, JoeVey, AntonoVey, John Boyd, and Fredric Phillips. this lino of fence. Ho la a moro hired manager for tho property, taking cavo of tho interests of tho ownoru. "Thoy oply acquired tho pro nortv two years ago aa aland speculation, and nro indiiforont about thofonccs, ami know Hom ing about them. "Mr. Hanloy told tho Govern ment's vopresontntivo out thoro in tho presonco of witnesses: "I havo just assumed charge of this property, and it is tho com mon understanding that thoro ' Govornmont land insido tho fonco linos; but tho foiJ&Qs havo boon down for years, as I un derstand, and if they nro not satisfactory to you, if you will lot mo know I will mako it sat isfactory.' Tho Government agent, Mr. Stonor, said: "Mr. Hanley, if everybody acted hko you thoro would never bo any trouble' Tho noxt thing ho knew, information was filed against him by Mr. Stonor. As a reply United States At torney McCourt said ho did not care lo enter into theso state ments by Mr. Wood at this time, except to say that tho Govorn mont nconl roforred to danicd nbsolutoly any such conversation with Mr. Hanley as that men tioned, "This court as I understand it, said Mr. McCourt, "now has cases sot down for trial under its ndmiralitv jurisdiction until the middlo of next month or thoroabouts. I have a grand jury in session, nnct but one as sistant. It has been my expect ation, at least as soon as the the irrand jury was dismissed, and I could get to it, to nsk tho court to summon a trial jury and dispose of all cases that could bo reached, especially those whoro defendants aro in custody. Mr., Hanley is not in this position, but I will say tho District Attor ney's office will be ready by April 20 lo try any and all cases that may be gotten ready at that time, Mr. Hanley's caso among them." Judgo Wolverton announced that casos arc set on the Admir nlity dockot until May 10, and if thoro is not an other judgo ap- tininlpd liia poiirt would nrnbnblv proceed with that docket until it is cleared up, after which tho way would be clear for a jury. Ho recognized tho importance of of the proceeding to all concern ed, and declared that his court would get a jury as quickly as it could, and allow Mr. Hnnley an early trial.

WOOD ASKS SPEEDY TRIAL William Hanley, tho Harney county cattleman, indicted ie cently by the Unitdd States grand jury for alleged unlawful incis ure of the public domain, appear ed in the Federal Court thib morning and through C. E. S. Wood, his attorney, entered a plea of not guilty to the charge, and asked for an immediate trial. In the course of his re marks upon the subject Mr. Wood said: "There in a paper published here which is one of tho Scripps McRao syndicate of papers, and it has seen fit to publish Mr. Hanley as a land thief, a land grabber, an intimidator of set tlers and cattle thief. I may say incidentally it has associated me in the same series of offens es. And, in order to show their power, they havo published those facts in every paper controlled by thisScripps-McKae syndicate; at Bcrkely, Cal., Sacramento, Spokane, Seattle, Cincinnati, O., and are sending out marked copies. 'Tow they have been indicted by tho stato grand jury for libel of Mr. Hanley, and your Honor can seo the handicap that ho would be under as prosecuting witness in that case, with thit undisposed of and hanging' over his head as a doubtful mattor; whereas it will not bo claimed by tho Government that Mr. Han ley over fenced a foot of Gov ernment land in his life. It will not bo claimed that ho has a dol- 's interest in this ranch, or mi fots ulsm; WORLD LOOKS NOW TO DRY PARMINO. "Dry farming, quickly defined is tho art of raising grain, fruit and vegetables on lands hitherto considered arid, and of no value excont for sheep grazing." said John F. Burns, secretary-treasure of the Dry Farming Con gress, who is spending a few days in Portland. "Not only the United States' but a largo por tion of tho whole world is inter ested in dry farming, and at our convention at Cheycnno a few weeks ago, representatives from Canada, Mexico, Siberia, Austra lia and the Transvaal wore inter ested participants. The growing population of tho world demands that those hitherto neglected acres be made to produce and the area of arid lands devoted to farming will grow rapidly from year to year. "In dry farming, a region in which less than eight inches of moisture falls is of littlo use, but whore the rainfall or snow fall amounts to more to than eight inches good crops of grain and fruit aro being successfully grown at this time. "For wheat, I would recom mend plowing in the fall to a dopth of at least 22 inches; then following up with the harrow in the same direction as tho plow. In a feW week another harrow ing would bo in order, and through tho year I would harrow frequently in order lo havo tho soil retain ail the moisture in tho atmosphore that could bo obtain ed. In tho fall I would plant red winter wheat, and when this was up a fow inches I would run a i harrow over it to tear out a cer tain portion of tho plants. Later on I would ropeat tho har rowing process, I havo known GO bushels of wheat to bo raised in arid regions by such a process, which of courso allows of only one crop every two years."
