This week we learn that about 60 engineers have been in that field for weeks and have the route practically surveyed and claim they can save quite a number of miles over any competitor by going this way, says the Oriano. This fact coupled with the re cent irrigation development news that has beerr wafted this way regarding a proposed irrigation project in Barren Valley, the source of tho water supply to come from the Malheur lakes, causes people to take notice.

Williamson, an event foretold once upon a time by the Govern ment's special prosecutor, Fran cis J. Heney, appears from de velopments in the Federal Court not to be immediate contempla tion. This morning Assistant United States District Attorney Walter H. Evens informed tho court that the General Land Office had requested him to se cure tho withdrawal of certain official records filed in the ori ginal case. Mr. Evans said that Heney had tried the case and still has general charge of it. He did not know when tho case was to be brought to a hearing again, or if it was even to be tried, says the Telegram. Judge Bean ruled that the re cords could be withdrawn, as they would be in reach of special prosecutor if ho took matter . up again, When Supreme Court reversed the low or court in tho Williamson case, Heney gave it out that he would have it brought to trial again. Later, when the Hermann jury disagreed, it was given out by .buting system throughout the Yakima, Columbia and Walla walla valleys, utner concerns have been taken over by tho big corporation, which will, give spe cial attention to famishing ( power for irrigation work thro ughout the territory covered. It is promised that by concentra ting tho water power develop ment in tho Northwest, a more satisfactory servico will bo de veloped than can bo rendered by private companies. Uncle Sam is counting his tim ber wealth on the slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Expert tim ber cruisers in tho employ of tho Government aro at work making the estimate and it is expected it will take all this summer and next to complete tho cruiso of the water shed of tho Willamette River and its tributaries in the Cascade Reserve. The land will be classified and the timber seg- jrugaieu into iukkhik uniia. mis is the first attempt, so far as known, of the Government to take an inventory of it's timber resources. Lumber manufacturers of tho Oregon and Washington associa tion are perfecting plans for tho logging congress to bo held in Portland late next month. The visitors will spend three days in the city and local loggers and lumbermen will bo hosts. Tho sawmill men and timber cutters of the Northwest will becomo better acquainted as a result of tho gathering nnd the benefits following mutual. A state convention of Esper- antists has been called for July 1G in the convention hall of tho Portland Commercial Club when students of the now world langu age, educators, teachers and oth ers interested are asked to meet to consider the organization of a state Expcranto association.

Among these Harri man lines in tho Northwest, re turned to Portland yesterday from Central Oregon, says the Oregonian. While Mr. O'Brien was quite candid with regard to his pur pose, ho declined absolutely to discuss tho conclusions ho had reached. These he is withhold ing for a report to his railroad. He made ono significant re mark, however, discussing the interior country of Central Ore gon around and enst of Bend. "Transportation is bound to come to that country" ho said.

Among tho fine running trip made was one from Burns to Lakeview, 180 miles, in one day, and from Lakeview, to Klamath Falls in an afternoon. A num ber of valleys were inspected, among them being the John Day, Goose Lake, Harney and others. "We covered an ungodly lot of country," was Mr. O'Brien's opening remark upon his return.

Ho said that tho govern ment had a "white elephant" on itj hands in this matter. That already the menace of alkali is on hand in tho Umatilla project and it is coming up seriously in tho Payette-Boise project. Tho reclamation service is not pre pared nor authorized to deal with tho problem and the agricultural department has no other author ity than to carry on experiments.

Office; FirBt door south Harney County Nat'l Bank, INLAND EMPIRE REALTY COMPANY First door south of the Iiarney County National Bank, Burns, Oregon The following suggestion from the Madras Pioneer is timely and should bo follow by the people of this section. This is a good time and n good year, considering crop conditions, to get rid of weeds. Mr. Farmer, you'd better pull all that yellow mustard in your own fields and then get busy and see that your neighbor does like wise and then that tho road su pervisors destroy it along tho county ronds. If this damaging plant once gets a good grip on your fields your land will be practically worthless for farming and the cost of eradicating this pest will be more than the price of good lnnd. Knowing from experience and undoubtablo testimony that this is a fact, it seems remarkable that many ranchers will uncon cernedly allow this enemy to flourish among their crops and along the county highway with out making any protest or effort to put it out of existence. Thnt it can be kept out is be ing demonstrated by progres sive ranchers in every neighbor hood. On dozens of tho ranches of tho German homesteaders out southwest of town, their fields wavo green and free from even a single spray of the yellow bloom of tho distructive mustard weed. Right across the road perhaps a neighbor's field looks like a flow er garden. If these plants are allowed to go to seed, there's sure to bo a woeful day of reck oning for tho owner of the land, It is unfair for one man) or soveral, to destroy the mustard and other weeds on their ranches while their neighbors' fiolds and the county roads aro full of them which are allowed to go to seed. Birds, winds, livestock and wag on wheels scatter the seed again and next year tho labor on tho clean lands has to bo dono over. There's where tho state weed lawcomoa in, nnd if, tho members of tho Farmers' Union, together with such other farmers as want to put an end to tho weed pest will combine nnd demnnd tho en forcement of the law, they can undoubtedly got tho desired re lief. There nro always thoso who, unless they nro compelled to destroy tho noxious weeds, won't do it. Tho proper remedy is tho enforcement of tho law. Thoso who "haven't timo" to got rid of tho .weeds ought to follow tho exnmplo of Bert Dum. browe, while ho lived on his homestead, He went out in tho night into his fields with a lan tern and pulled tho mustard plants from among his wheat Shown by us ior the first time the. latest goods for Dresses and Qowns are seldom found otifeide of the larger cities.
