ThrtaMontha .....75 JULIAN BTBW - - - - MMr Portland raporsBtill insist that when tho Natron cut off to Kla math is completed and tho lino up Deschutes is built to Madras that all Central Oregon is pro vided with transportation. Look at tho map and see. With an abundance of water at a shallow depth and an ns suranco of natural gas, the irri gation problem should not be a serious one in this section. Gas enoines may bo installed at a nominal cost and crops can bo successfully grown, no matter how dry the season, at a small cost A fnrmer remarked in this office tho other day that peopl should not bo discouraged in this section when good crops of grain are now being harvested and when it is shown that potatoes can be crown any whore by sun ply sticking them in the ground and giving them no care what ever. Our potato crop this year will be big. When Mr. Harriman could build into Central Oregon ho would not When Mr. Harriman would build into Central Oregon, he cannot-that is, if the Porter brothers can help it But per- hires they cannot stop him, for Mr. Harriman moves fast when somebody else is after his lemon. And only then. Oregonian. Many of our farmers are learn ing by experience and this sea' son's successes and failures will be a great benefit in future. We may not experience such dry seasons as the last two have proven for many years to come, yet they will be remembered and provision will be made each sue ceeding year to meet such con ditions. It isn't all together tho amount of precipitation, but more the manner in which the soil is prepared and crops hand led. Why go to those Indian reser vations and take one chance of thirty of getting a good piece of land, or any piece, when you can remain in Oregon or Washington and can buy a little farm where there are thirty chances in thirty for its being all right? Oregon ian. Yes, or even better still, come to the Harney country where thousands of acres of govern, ment land just as good, or per haps better, can be had by filing under the public land laws. The railroad operations along the Deschutes furnish some wholesome excUement It has been many a day since Oregon witnessed any railroad warring. Since Harrinan bottled up the state some years ago, peace, deep and profound, has reigned su preme. Central Oregon has been allowed to sleep away in isolation. The railroad magnets persisted in the declaration that roads would be built if the busi ness justified but declared tho venture a doubtful one. But for some inexplicable rea son both Messers Harriman and Hill have concluded that the in terior are worth developing. Both men now have forces at work rushing lines southwards toward Crook county. So eager is each side to gain tho advant age that night marches aro made down precipitous trails and stra tegic gates aro garded by armed men. There is little doubt but that both sides aro out in earnest to build to the interior. Both may build. What has caused all this mad hustle. Have the railroad kings just discovered that the interior of eastern Oregon ia a country susceptible of great develop ment? They knew it before. Perhaps tho proposed constitu tional amendment providing for state built roads has had some thing to do with hastening oper ations. If so then the wisdom of the legislature in endorsing such an amendment has been fully justified. But whatemjnay be back of tho seeming raipgle on the Des chutes the . fpifllp.Rins that it is a good fight; as long as it lasts. Here's hoping that the etruggle' will not be finished until two lines of track have been stretch ed from the Columbia River far out into the interior and that the beet men will be the first to reach the goal, r-East Oregonian. It scorns from Boise papers that Mr. Hill Is also fighting Harriman over in Idaho anil evi dently intends to got into Harri man territory nil ovor tho west. Well, wo need Jim Hill. LOCAL OVERfLOW. his Bee culture teaches ua n wider charity and thoughtfulness. Think how hard tho littlo crea tures work, day after day, carry ing in ncctnr, and then wo take it all awav from them. Wo say Hero you have gathered n drop or two, you won't miss it, wo will just take this for ourselves." That's tho way Harriman does with us, Rockofelle- and others. Wo treat tho bees as the trusts do us. And yot, on the other hand, we furnish them good homes, and protect them in the winter, nnd givo them room and opportunity to propagnto their kind. They are well enred for nnd happy Wo look for a large honoy harvest this year. The second crop will bo better than the first: it always is. But we did very well with tho first, our stands averaged about eigety pounds. -C. NY. Malletl, in On tario Optimist MATINEE RACES. During tho harvest season things aro more or less dull around town and people long for some diversion. Tho band boys seem to be off feed since Mr. Wetmore left and wu have no outdoor concerts; tho baseball boys seem more or less inactivo and things in general seem slow. There aro several head of good race horses here in training for fair week and tho men in charge sav they will run the entire bunch at a matinee on Sunday. Aug. 15 at the fnir grounds. We may not have any band con cert accompaniment, but it is proposed to have two good horse races on that afternoon and pos sibly three. Ono race will bo free for all nnd another for sad die horses which will bo brought in from the near by liny camps. The distanco to be run will bo determined by the horses enter ed and tho size of the purses will be governed by the number of people who attend. It is a pity we haven't some harness horses in readiness at this time, but the running races wjll be interesting. The general admission price will be 35 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. OUT YOUY EXHIBITS READY. It should be remembered that our fair is but two months off and now is tho time to begin pre paring for it The Association must have the co-operation of all the people, the farmer, stock man, horticulturist, merchant, all to make the fnir the success it should be. When harvesting save tho best specimens for exhibition purposes. It is' very necessary to have all this nnd then the stock should also be put in show shape. The premium lists will soon bo received and distributed, but don't wait for these, prepare now. IRRIGATION IS VERY EASY TO LEARN Ability to learn without previ ous farming experience is the best asset for tho newcomer on irrigated lands, says C. H. Swi gert, supervising engineer for government reclamation projects in Washington. "The men who mako tho great est failures on irrigated lands are the men who think thej know.most about farming," ho asserted to a Portland pnper. "Men who have had previous experience on farms come west with the idea that they have no thing left to learn. Hence they refuse to learn. As a result they givo the land too much water or too censtantly: it Bours or the alk'ali comes to the surface and the property is rendered value less. "Many people think you dig a ditch and get tho water to tho land and the sun and tho enrth and tho Lord do tho rest," Mr. Swigert continued. "'""As a mat ter of fact the artistic touches are applied after tho crop has been sowed. Underdrainago is all important. Land that is sog gy must be artificially provided with underdrainage. "Much of tho land that wo ir rigate, however, will drain it self, if not given too much water. Plant life, though needs only so much water. Mora than that la injurious. This is true of irriga ted land, as it is of thoso sec tions where natural rainfall fur nishes tho water supply."
