Tho Oregonian of Monday
prints nn article regarding range
conditions that is intended to
cover the northwest section but
it is evident the writer is not en
tirely familiar with conditions
in this section. Whilo tho sea
son has been exceedingly dry
slock on the range has done
well and the rains of u few
weeks ago have given the grass
a start thai will bring stock up
to usual conditions for the win
ter. Tho Oregonian says in
part:
Abnormal conditions during the
present grazing season indicate
to stockmen that sheep and cattle
will come from the public ranges
of Oregon in very poor condition
for wintering, and that there
will be an unusually light turn
off of marketable cattle. Al
ready many of the sheepmen
have been forced to withdraw
their bands because of tho short
age of the forage crop on the
Umatilla and Deschutes ranges,
while it is possible that grazers
making uso of the Malheur,
Whitman, Wenaha and Wallowa
National forest will drive out un
less the heavy rains come im
mediately. Range conditions in tho State
of Washington have been some
what more fnvorahle during the
Summer of 1910, and the stock
men will be able noUwJy to keep
their herds on the range for a
longer period of time, but will
bring them off in far better con
dition for wintering.
In Northern Washington a
largely increased range has this
year become availablo for sheep
grazing because of new railroad
facilities which permit of sheep
being delivered to the grazing
ground with the least amount of
trailing. II. K. O'Brien, Chief
of Grazing for the Northwest
District of the Forest Service,
with headquarters at Portland, is
planning to aid the Oregon
grazers next year by allowing
them to make use of the Wash
ington unused district
Mr. O'Brien has also made
recommendations for the develop
ment of water in the Paulina
Mountain district of Central
Oregon, where lie believes that
fully 05,000 sheep may bo cared
for after wnter holes have been
drilled. A geological examina
tion of the district has just booh
completed by Herbert E.Gregory.
Wells will be driven during the
Winter at favorable points on the
205,000 acres of bunchgrass land
which has nover been grazed.
The famous ice cave, 800 feet in
length, will bo developed
through a well driven through
tho roof, with tho belief that a
large supply of pure watar may
be obtained. The ico cavo furn
ishes tho only water now avail
ablo for a radius of 12 miles.
Water will bo developed at Pine
Mountain, in tho valley south of
China Buttes, in the old lake beds
south of Foster's Cabin, at the
Horse Springs and at tho Button
Springs. Some of the wells will
go to u depth of '100 feet
Tho Paulina district is an
ancient lava field, the surface
rock being so porous that heavy
rains sink through as fast as
they fall.

Dr. W. L. Mnrsden made a few
rqmarks at tho opening of tho
pfogram explaining the purpose.
After the completion of the pro
gram Hon. Frank Davey
mounted tho platform and after
a few remarks began to auction
olF the baskets. The bidding
was not very spirited at first but
finally the boys warmed up and
some of them had to pay a good
price for their baskets. When
Mr. Davey had sold the last one
tho young men uncovered
tho baskets and found the
name of tho young lady with
whom ho would share luncheon.
Besides the baskets extra lunch
eon of sandwiches, cake and
coil'eo was prepared nnd sold.
All present who desired it were
served. Since tho entertain
ment W. W. Brown, tho well
known Wngontire stockman, has
proposed to donate $200 toward
the fund if the high school pupils
will raise a like sum among the
business men of Burns. This is
n most generous proposition and
the pupils should act upon it
without delay.
Latkii: The entire amount is
raised and the piano will bo pur

RUIiCKAII ASSHMHLY.
One of tho enjoyable features
of tho week was the District
Convention of tho Rebakah
lodges, mo district comprises
this and the Grant county lodges
but Grant county failed to send
any delegate. There was a
large gethering of the members
present however nnd tho sessions
proved quite beneficial. Besides
the local members their were
visitors from other lodges.
The address of welcome was
made by Alice Swcek, Noble
Grand of the local lodge and she
was highly complimented by
these who heard it.
The guest of honor was Mrs.
Addie Grout of LaGrande, Pres
ident of the state Rcbekah As
sembly. She is a very charming
lady and her lecture and in
structions as well as her remarks
on the benefits from holding
districts conventions were much
appreciated by tho members.
Tho lady is a sister-in-law to
Ed and Len Grout who formerly
resided in this county.
Mrs. Grout congratulated the
fioor team and exemplification of
tho work at initiation. Following
tho lodge work the company an
journed to tho banquot room
which had been nrtisticly decora
ted with Rcbekah colors. This
was enjoyed by almost 100 guests
and was one of tho finest banquets
ever spread in Burns. It wns a
red letter day among tho local
members of tho fraternity,
Mrs. Grout took her departure
Thursday morning for her home.
