PiwrTW IRRIGATION MEN BACK FROM SALT LAKE MET Representative There From Many Projects; Chances Favorable For Aid. 8am Mothcrshoad arrived homu Thursday night from Suit Laku whuru hu nud oLhor members of tho Hnruoy Valley Irrigation District, togothor with Capt. Itobt. M. Duncan, had been before tho mooting hold by tho fact finding committee recently unpointed to Investigate tho govern ment reclamation projects. Direct ors OIhoii and Thompson, tjiu other member of thu party, returned homo earlier in tlu week but Messrs Muthurshcnd and Duncan remained to placu thu local situation before tho committee in a more extended manner, reducing their proposition to writing and submitting n supple meutcd brief in addition to thu per Honal appearance. Mr. Motherahcnd told a roprcuoti iativo of thia paper that thu delega tion found tho meeting of much greater interest and Importance than they had expected and largely at tended. Thero wero delegations there from practically every Irriga tion project west of the Mississippi rivor and all had something of Im portance to placo boforo tho com mittee, therefore It took time and patlonce. Mr. Mothershend is optimistic of tho results of their conference with this committee but docs not look for any immediate action because of complication nrlslng from their In vestigation. Tho mass of data plac ed boforo this committee covers hucIi r wldo Bcopo and no diversified in application that It will rcqulro con sldorablo study boforo anything def inite can come. Kspeclnlly Is this true as to tho application of thu present law governing tho reclama tion work of tho government. Ileforo any nuw projects arc taken up it is tho opinion of Mr. Mothorshcad that thu law will bo amended to more specifically cover new projects and a more business-like administration of conts and contrasts bo arranged. Thu delegations before tho com mittee had many angles of tho sit uation to dlsciiHs and from this In formation Ih likely to come changes 'tin will bo more practical. The flirt finding committee readily r ugiilzod Oregon's claim to rccog ' "inn for n nuw project and this wil t recommended hejond any d' ul) It Is confidently bollovod by tin local delegation that Harney vnl- h.is an excellent uhnnco to bo I'lii-il br-cnuso of Its magnltudo In 'ri.ige and correspondingly low rot estlrnntu. However, this Is a mutter that will not bo determined it onco but as soon ns tho committee files Its report of Its findings It wilt Indicate, indirectly, Mr. Mothorshcad believes, our chances. Mr Duncan accompanied riutn bruk as far as Ontario whuro he topped over to look after romo hiiHlucsa matters. He Is expected I J. oiiio tonight.

Oho unfortunate circumstance, eon , noctod with such nu undertaking Ih tho lack of funds nvallahlo ror ' premiums. Thero Is a fund provld- od ror such purpose nud ench year for tho last two sensons thu annual flower show has been glvon such support as was needed for premiums from this fund but It Is limited and would not go far toward paying many premiums If It distributed over tho dlvorso resourcen that should have attention nt a county fair. i o i MrtV OKT CO VOTE POISON TIUCOUOII COU.NTV AGENT llll II IM1 It.

A survey of tho dairy product sit uation In this vicinity shows it mark ed advancement In recent mouths. II Is estimated that about $800 a week Is the ruveuuo derived by local dairymen from tholr raw material. It Ih not nil taken euro of through tho local creamery but that Institu tion is enjoying an lucreasod busi ness gradually since It wbh opened. It Is capable or handling a greater volume of buslnouB and by giving It support tho shipping ohnrgoB both ways nro eliminated and tho money remains at homo. Several car loads or dairy cows have been shipped In and disposed of In tho vicinity or Hums during tho pant season and thero Is still a strong demnnd ror them. Local dairymen huvo come to understand tho dlfferonco betweon Just "plain cow" and a milk producer. They are weeding out tho "boarders" and gottlng cows that will ntand tho toHt and bring In a dividend on the Investment. Harney valley Is peculiarly adapt ed to tho dairy business; tho pro duct finds a ready sale anil with ndjled transportation facilities with tho extension or tho rallrond to Hums and tho route up Into tho mountains to tho Hoar valley timber, will stlmulato tho growth of tho ! dairy hutlnosN materially, especially with the nddcit homo market for such products that tho building of tho saw mill and kindred enterprises will bring. Another contributing factor, to tho success of tho dairy business Is tho contemplated Irrigation develop ment that Is sure to follow directly upon tho completion of the railroad that traverses thu valley. Many nro looking for suitable localities to engage in dairying and this Hold will offer nttrnctivu Inducements to such Investors. - o MUCH i.Nojmtv FINDS AHOI'T HUHNH Sam .MoThurwIi'cud arrived homo Thursday evening from a trip to Salt Lake.

Members of thu delegation that went to Bait Lake last wcok lo at tend tho meeting of tho fuct find ing committee on tho Irrigation pro jects, report Uiey met Col. Greeley, Chief Forester, who showed u keen interest In this section und who otat ed that ho contemplated a vlelt to tin during thu coming BuaBon. Col. Greeley has taken a personal Inter est In tho opening up of tho timber resources of this big territory and it was through his personal intorcst that the recent unto of timber waa mudo possible. It was also hla kuowtedgu of tho situation that rondo tho building of a common car rier railroad through the agricultur al lauds of this valley u part of tho contract Involving tho snlo of tho timber. Col. Grcoley evinced an Interest In range conditions not only as they affect tho national forost, but also tho general range Inudii of thu wost. Hu expressed tho opinion that sooner or later a system of range Icaaoa would apply to all government rnngo Innds and became Interested In tho big rnngo arm of Harney county In conversation with membors of thu local delegation. Leasing of tho public rnngo has been ndvocated by somo for tho pant soveral your and with the supervis ion of tho forest range nn an examplo it Is iiiiltu probable that such u sys tem will be tried nut. Wlillu this mny not meet with general approval from those who ore now using th ihiiiiiu range u is uovoriucioHH re ceiving hurloiiH consideration nnil will como In time. It would menn a more stable condition that tho resi dent stockman could depend upon, securing for his own use range laudtt over a long period of time and thuH glvo him an opportunity to develop It rather than deplete It as under the present system. Col. Greeley's visit will be looked forwnrd to with some Interest by many of our people becauso of IiIk connection with tho timber sals and MiporvMon of the forest. They will r.lno be IntcroNted In the proposed range lousing plan that Is evidently forming and In more or low enncroto In the minds of government mou who nro making a study of It.
