Teal's letter asking the settler's view as to the working of the public land laws should be given attention in order to assist the Conserva tion Commission in arriving at a correct conclusion and enable it to make proper recommendations. That the present homestead law is far from being practical is not questioned. How best to remedy it is a matter that concerns every present and prospective settler. and should be carefully consider ed. The law provides that no lat ent shall issue until the expira tion of three years from date of entry; that the entryman must establish actual residence upon the land within six months after such date; that he must, begin ning with the second year culti vate not less than one-sixteenth, and beginning with the third year of the entry, cultivate not less than one-eighth of the area of the land entered. Regulations issued by the In terior Department says "a mere breaking of the soil will not meet the terms of the law, but such breaking or stirring of the soil must also be accompanied by planting or the sowing of seed and tillage for a crop other than native grasses. " The remaining vacant lands east ot the Cascade Mountains and now subject to entry, as a rule, lacks sufficient rainfall to produce agricultural crops without the necessity of resorting to the system common ly known as "dry farming" and the Department of Agriculture, (an other branch of this same government) expends large sums of money in support of experi mental farms where it is actually demonstrated to the farmer that after the first breaking of the soil it must be persistently culti vated for at least one year in or der to conserve sufficient mois ture to produce a crop and that seeding the soil to grain alter the first cultivation is an absolute waste of seed, money and energy. To ask the real homcbuilder, the man with limited means and nearly always with a family, who settles on an arid or semi-arid homestead, to support his family, build a habitable house, dig a deep and expensive well, clear, fence and plow his land, purchase farming implements, seed grain and hay for his horses and cow, haul his wood, etc., etc., and live on his claim for three years, ( with the exception of five months each year during which time he may by chance find employment at ordinary farm wages) when it is only a source of expense and not capable of contributing to the support of himself or family, is next to prohibitory. Give the toor man a chance; allow him, Bay three years after date of entry to establish resi dence upon the land, require of him during that period to file annual proof of improvements and cultivation in the local land office. After that length of time the land should be in such a state of cultivation that it would ordi narily support a family and the entryman should be required to show two vears residence on the land together with the actual production of the soil as a basis fo patent. Agency for Walk-Over Shoes Brown's Satisfactory .Store. There will also be horse racing, base ball eames, trap shooting, dancing. It has been suggested that there be a big display of lire works on th evening of the 4th and the celebration will last for three davs. Word was received from Sump ter Thursday announcing that the baseball team from that place would coine here to play I he local team on (he 4th ami it is likely there will be a series of games. Provident Doneganof the com mercial Club has appointed the following committee to look after the celebratien: J. M. Dal ton, Piatt Randall, Frank Davey, Sam Mothershi -ad and Archie Mc (iowan. The committee will take charge of the affairs as follews: Dalton, races and fire works; Randall, vocal music and decorations; Dav ey, printing and parade; Mothers head, literary program and bnnd; Archie McCowan, trap shooting and base ball. County Court. County Court adjourned last Tuesday evening after attending to a vast amount of business W. E. Huston completed his work of experting the county records and his report was accepted. It was a most complete report and covers every detail. It will be published in pamphlet form and distributed nmong the tax payers. Final order opening the James I'.rainion road on Pine Creek was made. This is a convenience that the iieople of that section will appreciate. J. W. P.utlick of Drewsey and Louil .1. Gibson of Waverlv were appointed justice of the peace in their respective precincts. Chas. Harrow and Win. Bourne were discharged as county charges. Stock Inspector Robinson was appointed as deputy assessor for two months. The court made an order set ting aside $2000 to be used at such time as necessary to take advantage of the agricultural ex tension work but Commissioner Pain dissented and filed a protest on the ground of voluntary in debtedness. The law prevents the county assuming an indebted ness beyond a certain amount -- voluntarily-- therefore he objects. No warrant was issued and since Mr. Bain states he will enjoin should it be attempted, likely the matter will remain as it is. BACK TO THE SOIL. The agricultural extension bill passed by the recent session of the state legislatnre is certainly one of merit and each county must do its part toward making it available. The provisions are such as would appear equitable and just as the extension work should be of sufficient importance to each section as would justify the co-operation of any county. This law not only provides for short course work in such counties that take advantage of it but also provides for an experienced man to spend his entire time in the field going from farm to farm and teaching the man right on his place how he can best succeed under the conditions prevailing and the equipment he has at his disposal. The farmer is given ;,'i.-nl il'u" knmi'li.iliri rif hin work the soil, how best to make it pay ia!'!"al '" "" l-rofH-rty owners and as well as such crops are best l ""J"" Hie former report was adapted, etc. This is an advant- revised in such manner as to age which should have considera- cover the town more effectively, tion, especially in a new country j especially the western portion such as Central Oregon where a"d no PP" lcHii dimension farming has been more or less an !n?

Encouraging Figures on Water Works The Eastern Oregon Engineer ing Co. submitted an estimate on city water works at the council meeting last Wednesday night which places the completed plant within reasonable cost and should in with this move that might be worth considering is a demonstra tion farm provided for the city man who doesn't know anything about farming; the fellow who knows nothing but sky scrapers and paved streets. A farm main tained by the state or even better, i by private parties, of sufficient acreage to justify diversified farming, could be established for the novice who would be given the privilege of working entirely under scientific men for a period of three years, there to learn farming in all its branches, his labor to compensate for his main tenance and go from there a fin ished farmer with positive know ledge of his surroundings. This would not only be of a practical nature but would be a paying in vestment to those undertaking the project. The same proposition might apply to the experimental farms now being conducted throughout the state so far as the city man is concerned, i ne young man without means to attend the ag ricultural college could be given a practical farming course on one of these farms at a saving of ex pense to the farm and result in much good. . Preparing for Big Celebration At a meeting of the Commer cial (Hub Tuesday night arrange ments were furthered toward one of the biggest 4th of July celebra tions ever held in Harney county. The finance committee has met with good success in securing funds and it is planned to make it a "hummer." There will be a big parade, with literary exer cises in the forenoon, including music, patriotic addresses, etc, two pumps each with a capacity of 450 gallons a minute, This duplicate plant is planned to make it possible to have water under any circumstance, when one might be out of commission. A tank of 50,000 gallons capacity on a 85 foot tower. The entire expense is estimated not to exceed $50,000 complete and certainly is within reason. With such figures it should prompt early action toward u bond election and the necessary arrangements to install the plant. Presbyterian Church Tomorrow. Morning worship at 11 a. m.
