1:1 IIAXJK LANI.N h'OII MOCKS AM) IILUHS. President W. I'. Hnvldsotl of the ircROM & Western Coloni.af Ion Co. mis hi Hums (lurhiK the week in .niipany with H. F. Johnson, the L.ili-s agent In this territory. Whllo the city Mr. Davidson had a talk with State Knglneer Lewi, respect ing Irrigation posalbllltea but the writer does not know what the Im mediate results will be of thin eon- renoe. Hi' doea know, bow- ver, that Mr. Davidson has offered dike $176,000 worth of bonds to rf't tho Warm Springs Irrigation nro- i i under way over In Malheur unity on condition that those Inter till lornlly will see t lint h like nniint is sold to insure the eninple- ; mi of the reservoir. This project 110 more feasible or of greater pos- hilltlM than th Sllvies Valley pro- . I. yet wv allow loral fights to keep us from fatting this under way. Mr. DtrMaen asked tin- writer If Mitliiiig eould not be done here in ie way of starting the reclamation i some additional tuiul under the l-ilvies Valley reservoir project and t was referred to some of the men ' lio are In a position to help toward i' M an end. The Times-Herald has i d Its influence for years and years, irnished its space, given its dollar- . ml other aid is still doing It In .id but doesn't seem to get far. lie fact is that the men who have within their power to accomplish iiis great benefit are not doing what they should to hasten the result. It i not to their credit that this pro- i i and the retarded development of 'n Mg country has been thUH delnv- il. If suih men as Davidson. Mauley nd the Pacific Livestock Co. would illy get together and lend their In- luence and backing to such a pro- i i it would soon be an established During the recent tour of Mr linv--M and Mr. Johnson a large area ' ".razing land was disposed of to ical stockmen and while In this li mity Mr. Johnson had Knglneer ''aulkner out with -some of the pur- I ,iers to establish their corners In r.lrr that they may fence their hold- uffs, This is the custom of this coin- .11 not to only run out the corners f the land but also to furnish an bstruct of title with each deed. The matter of range lands being wned by stockmen Is becoming an important part of stockraising In this nuntry. Many of the sheep men are living grazing lands and while they lo not always fence It like the cattle men they guard It with such care that he stock that is simply turned on In- public range is not allowed on It, Mius cutting down the area over vliiih stock may graze. When the land la fenced It further diminishes the area and if the enlarged home- '.il lauds should be designated within the near future it Is really up to the stockmen to run Just what lock he can feed and pasture upon own premises and men addition- he nay gel through the forest rii' permit. So Important has tbla range con a in-, one t iiat i.i communities re it i; practcal stockmen bare .I'd their interests utifl im i :i large area among them tu be ..Hied up to stilt their re.-, M live ills when tin- final pavim nt Is ide and thus covered by one feme. rhe company has made very attrac 'iw prices and terms for this charac ter Of land and shrewd stock raisers lie taking advantage of them. Mr. Johnson informs The Times Herald that he has taken charge of the sales and leases in Harney county mil will spend from about the Dth to the I .'.Hi of each mouth In this i Hon looking after the interests of the company. He left for I'rlnevllle riday morning. Following are some of the recent wise: On Hill and wife, 1280 i: O. Bailey 160 H.

Whllo In conversation with this aentclninii It was learned that Clar ence Cary had 400 sacks of potatoes at his ranch on Crane Creek and that he could find no sale for them. Later the writer had a talk with Mr. Cary and found he had been out trying to market them but found no demand. He eould ship them to Texas but upon investigating the price found after the transportation expenses to gether with getting them on the train with sacks etc., that he would not even realize the worth of the sacks at tho close of the transaction, so decided the only thing to do was to leave them In the bins h! home. These :ir good potatoes and should not be a'lovved to decay wheii they might he used for seed. Mr. Ciir slated he hud fed some lo his cattle with good results but that this was not practical at this season of tin year when his stock were out on range grass. He will sell these potatoes at 76 Ctntl per hundred pounds at his ranch. Irving lla.elllne wus over from Canyon City on business this week, leaving for home yesterday morning. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Ausmus were callers at this office today. Mr. Ausmus Informs us he has recently purchased the F. Crowley ranch of 263 acres below Lawen. This Is a good hay ranch. ATLOW VALLEY KWB.

To make the most of alfalfa it should be cut when the first new shoots bud out from the crown or when it is about one-tenth in bloom. Permitting It to ripen more reduces the number of rm;n, even though It Increases the volume of the first crop by making it woody and consequent ly bulky. Drain hay is best cut in the eurlv dough stage. In some parts of the grain districts it Is permit led to reai h the hard dough or nearly ripe stage, when it tends to make a com hiiiuliou of grain and straw rather than the palatable and rnlritlnu hgj that It makes when cut in 111:' right stage. The vetch and oats, clover or grain hay crops in Wustem Oregon are frequently permitted lo get over ripe. Clover is ready for hay when one third of the blooms begin to turn brown, but Is frequently nearly ready for seed at the time of cutting for buy. This result, is a serious leaf loss and a large amount of coarse, hard unpalatable hay.

If you should see a French child a tiny girl sitting by. the roadside, sobbing quietly because she Is too weak from hunger to cry very loud, you would sell your watch to buy her breakfast.

Hut tho Ited Cross Is there and you can make it voih repreaentatirel Over there Hie Prussians are crucifying the Incarnate Liberty of Man, nnd they are making the world black for little children!
