Dear Partner:
Have not had a chance to write to

Hope that you got It this tlmo Thu

from tho Narrows somn where down

and were good Judges or whiskey,
they didn't seem to care much about
the cpiallty tho at that. They weru
mighty good fellows but did not Ilko
to stick In one place too long I guess.
I hIIII have tho rest of thu old

and Churllo Loggan. Thoy still spend
all tholr dust and show up broke
overy Monday morning. The iluiico
halls got thulr goat for a fact. I
will say for them though that thoy
spend their tlmo In the moro decent
of the two halls, the uppor one, as
you know is protty high class.
A fellow by tho unmo of Don

INTERESTING PUMPING
DEMONSTRATION MADE
Fcisability of Method for Irriga
tion Proven by Test on H. J.
Hansen Place Thursday.
An Interesting pumping demon
Htratlnu Is being conducted at the
II. J. Hansen farm adjoining town.
Fred Goyt of the HuriiH Garage Is
supervising It and the demonstration
has proven of vast hnuoflt In what
may ho done with pumping Tor Irri
gation. A Fordsou tractor Is used for
power with a six-Inch centrifugal
pump raising water II feet from
tho excavation made at the gravel
pit. Thu water In pumped ul the rate
of 1200 gallons a minute and It
comes nut with a good head cover
ing a large acreage. Its feasibility
Is assured from a test covering 1C
hours. Tho water waii lowered con
siderable at first hut there is an
abundnnco for tho purpose nnd thu
plant Is capable of taking care of at
least 200 ncres.
It In estimated that snub a plant
would cost in tho neighborhood of
H.fiO an acre figuring depreciation,
Interent on thu Investment, fuel, elo.
Mr. Hansen in well pleased with the
showing made and the experiment
has been witnessed by many who are
intereidcd In this method of Irriga
tion who aru encouraged.
Thero Is a vast acreage In thin val
ley that could be Irrigated by this
plan.

TULE FIRE PLAYS HAVOC
AROUND MALHEUR LAKE
Flames Break Out Afresh After
Smouldering for Weeks and
Destroy More Hay.
The fire that started sevuial weeks
ogo and resulted In burning over a
big area of territory on the south
border of Malheur lake, destroying
I uiueh hn and pasture nnd also eon-
sumlug xpvurnl ranch houses and
burns, has broken out again this
week and done moro damage.
The exceedingly dry noasoii Ib re
sponsible for thn lake not filling up
as Is iMtial' in ordinary years, thus
leaving the peat soil very dry and It
Is almost Impossible to put out a
fire when onco started without flood-
lug and this Is Impossible this sea-
sou Tim original flro in reported to
have been of Incendiary origin by
some spiteful person nnd It has prov -
en disastrous to many rancher hor
derlng thu lake as It hns not only
dlstroyed much hay that Is needed
for next winter, hut also burned tho
soil to such an extent that It is
worthless for an ludutlnltu time.
From Information received yester
day It Is found tho flro has covered
an area of at leant twenty miles one
way by eight thu other. It has been
subdued In thu vicinity of Narrows
but han spread east toward Lawen
and has rousumed much hay and
threatens more, although tho sltua-
tlon Is reported better at tho tlmu
this Is written Friday. There aro u
number of mben now flghtlu,; flro
i and good results aru being had, Tho
I Pacific Live Stock Co. has placed a
targe number of men in the Swan
lake section and with favorable
weather renditions It Is hoped to
i.uhdtie the flariiH and keep the flro
within bounds. However, should n
high wind again prevail It Is likely
to spread over a great nren and do
much damage.
Just last wool; two rancher stock
men of tho lake neighborhood nro
reported to havo said they were
"silting pretty" with plenty of hay
for the coming wlntor nnd some to
pure Today those two men nrn
vvithrut any hay and no prospect for
