"End of frco land" is tho
heading on nn nrtido from Scrib
nor nuMtahed on the Hrst toko in
this issuo in which tho public
land commissioner is quoted n9
saying thnt public lands wnicn
now remain nre chiclly nrid in
nfeovflftniv This mnv bo so to n
certain extent butnotaltoKuther.
It merely shows that tho cast is
vnf nnlfn iVnornnt of the west

Millions of acres of land to home
stead whore profitablo crops may
bo raised by proper cultivation
without irrigation. This land is
semi-arid. Wo also have in some
portions of tho west great bodies
of arid land where irrigation is
possible, yet these eastern peo
pie, although they bewail tho
condition of no land for tho land
less, will not allow it to bo ac
complished. On our first page
is also an articlo stating that the
cast will oppose tho proposed
bond issuo to mnko the reclama
tion of vast areas possible. Tho
man who takes advantage of tho
land is the one who must pay for
this bond issue, yet tho East will
fight it.
In Idaho and Oregon within
the last two years, 10 conven
tions and representative gather
ings have met to consider the
construction of railroads by dis
tricts, the money for construc
tion to bo secured by bonding
the land benefited. Railroads
make land more valuable. They
add from $20 to $500 an aero lo
agricultural land, especially in
the state of Oregon, where they
make fruit shipments possible.
In California irrigation canals
costing many millions have been
constructed in this manner. Tho
construction of railroads by bond
ing the lan'ds benefited and keep
ing the enormous values thus
created in the hands of the peo
ple owning tho land, instead of
in the hands of Wall street specu
lators, may seem a little startling,
but if the peonlo are willing to
let any railroadless district try
it, perhaps it may be a way out
of paying dividends on watered
stock or doing without transpor
tation. It is up to the people.
Ex.
capital yot interested to put in
proper machinery to go any depth

development of tho country. It

reclamation of vast bodies of
Bomi-arid land in this vnlloy by
means of pumping plants. This
is nn important factor that should

ANOTIIGK BIO TIRG.
Tho Buonn Vista swamp, on
tho Ulitzon botween the Narrows
and P-Rnnch has been on flro for
several days and could bo plainly
soon from Burns at night. It
has swept over considerable tor
ritory but has dono but little
damage other than destroy a
largo amount of pasture nnd ono
stack of hay. In seems this flro
started by accident tho samo as
the one last week that destroyed
hay for tho Hanley company near
Burns.
This firo is likely to burn for
an indefinite timo as tho Buena
Vista swamp is n made soil for a
great depth and is something of
the nature of a peat bog. When
once iunited it is very hard to
extinguish and will likely burn
until heavy rains come.
Tho Buena Vista is a Hanley
company ranch nnd belongs with
tho French-Glen holdings.
If you are a kicker and see the
shadow of failure in everything
that is proposed to heto the town,
for -heaven's sake go into some
secluded canyon and kick your
own shadow on theclaybank, and
give the men who are working
to build up the town a chance.
One long faced, hollowed eyed,
whining, gaping, chronic kicker
can do more to keep away busi
ness and capital from a town
than all the drouths, short crops,
cinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards
combined. Dufur Dispatch.
Twelve hogs recently disposed
of to a local butcher brought tho
rancher over 5250. These pork
ers had likely been raised upon
alfalfa and skimmed milk with a
little grain feeding to top them
off. Does it pay to raise hogs in
Harney county? There is no
over production of hogs in tho
local market and farmers should
raise more of them. The same
may be said of dairy products
and poultry.
GIVE A GRAND BALL.
The ladies of Sylvia R. D,
Lodge, No. 43, I. O. 0' F., are
quite proud of the Odd Fellow
building now nearing completion
and are determined to have some
hand in tho work, therefore they
deaire to help furnish the new
lodge room. They have planned
to give a grand ball in tho larg
est store room as soon as it is
completed, tho funds from this
ball to be added to that now on
hand for furniture. They may
also servo supper if the banquet
room is completed in time.
Somo of tho local musicians
have volunteered their services
to assist in furnishing tho music
for the occasion. It is possiblo
the ball will bo given about
Thanksgiving.

General Superintendent Grant
Gcddea of tho Sumpter Valley
railroad while hero last week
stated that tho extension of the
Sumpter Vnlloy railroad would be
complete to Huckleberry flat by
the middle of this week and nt
that timo tho company would
handle all traffic both freight
and passongcrs to that point,
The name of the new station has
been changed from Huckleberry
Flat to Dixie. This was dono to
avoid confusion, n3 there is an
other station on the lino by the
same name. The railroad com
pany are entitled to high compli-,
ment for the early completion of
the road and they aro entitled to
all reasonable encouragement to
complete tho extension on into

The Illimitable Wheat Field.
It is through wheat, through a
monomania of whpat, that tho
New Line runs from tho Rockies
back to Winnipeg, a thousand
miles.
It is for wheat that the Grand
Trunk Pacific, beginning at a
point east of Winnipeg on tho
Government section of tho Now
Line, has built a branch south
ward to Canada's Lake Superior
port
It is for wheat that at that
port, at Fort William and Port
Arthur, tho dominating objects
in tho landscape aro circular bins,
wheat wells, which have an im
mediately prospective capacity of
25,000,000 bushels.
It is for wheat, overflowing
even such ' a prospect, that tho
Grand Trunk Pacific, at Fort
William, beyond tho Mission'
River, has driven 11,000 piles
through soft soil to rock-bottom,
has covered their top3 witn a
solid concreto mattress three
feet thick, and on that mattress,
is rearing concreto cylinders,
twenty-four feet in diameter, to
a height of ninety-fivo feet,
seventy of them, in seven rows
of ten each, touching each othor,
making fifty-four interspaces,
making a capacity of 2,500,000
bushels, making ono unit.
Four such units will make tho
storage part of ono elevator,
Four such elovators will com
plete tho plan, a 40,000,000-bush-cl
plan.
It is for-wheat that more ships
arc needed every year to travel
from Port Arthur and Fort Wil
liam down to tho ports on tho
lower Great Lakes. Wm. Hard
