The options expired months ago.
The latest proposition from the
promoters, the final outcome of all
the negations in this and other
countries, was that the- railway
companies give them a bond on
their properties, and they would
sell them if they could. This, it is
understood, settled the matter with
the City & Suburban Company,
and all negotiations may be con

AN ENTHUSIAST ON IRRIGATION
Wm
Rigby Visits Yakima and Tells His
Impressions.
William Rigby spent several
days in the Yakima country and
has just returned, with an enthu
siastic account of what was seen on
the trip. To a Pendleton paper
yesterday morning Mr. Rigby said:
"The Sunnyside country is im
mense! Irrigation is kingl I have
come to the conclusion that we
must do a3 William E. Smythe
said when he was here, 'irrigate or
emigrate- Anvone riding through r
mo country wm uu - verjr uiuuu
struck with the contrast between the
sagebrush plains on one side of the
road and the magnificient fields of
grain and alfalfa and the orchards
on the other. They raise every
thing oer there which will grow
in such a zone as ours. Land is
too high, $100 to $125 per acre for
unimproved lands, but neverthe
less they get big returns from every
acre. Let me detail some of the
profits and yields: Alfalfa cuts
from 6 to 9 tons per acre, growing
finely on sandy soil, even better
than on the black soil more re
sembling an eastern loam; broom
corn cuts at least a ton to the acre
and sells for $100 per ton; sorghum
produces 200 gallons per acre and
potatoes turn out an enormous
quantity, such crops are seldom seen
in any country. Fruit was a good
crop and prices were very fair. The
great feature of the fruit industry
is drying it for futuie sale at dis
tant market points. Hops were
only about half picked, prices bo
ing very low. I saw corn on which
the ears were so high I had to reach
up to touch them.
"Then there are the artesian
wells, eight of which I saw. One
is 1000 feet deep and throws a six
inch stream 20 feet high, irrigating
1000 acres. The water is warm
74 degress Fahrenheit. At Prosser
there were pumps run by moters,
taking water from the river, elevat
ing it to a high hill, from where
ditches led it to points quite a dis
tance up the river. Two of these
pumps I saw which irrigate 4000
acres.
"I am satisfied that we must have
irrigation. Nothing else will pull
this country up to its rightful place
and where it may go with its rich
soil and genial climate."

Work of the Sheep Inspector
Sheep Inspector George W. Ellis
report that he has inspected 40
bands of sheep since September 20.
Most of tho sheep are now in the
mountains. Mr. Ellis says that
there is not much feed in the moun
tains, and none at all in the low
lands. The Lost Child.
Tbe upper jawbone of a child has
been iound about forty , rods from
the spot where the skull, thought
to be that of Alma Miller, was
.picked up a few days ago. The
jawbone contains two teeth, which
had just started from the jaw, and
the doctor who examined it says
that they indicate that the child
was about six or seven years old.
This was the age of Alma Miller,
and is regarded as conclusive evi
dence that she died in the brush
there. However, the doctors in La
Grande, who have examined the
skull, claim it is that of a child
from 10 to 14 years old. All agree
that the skull and jawbone are
thoso of a white child. Mr. Miller.
' the father of tho lost girl, is still of
the opinion that the child was stol
en by gypsies. He thinks sh6 died
while in their hands, and was re
turned to the place where the bones
are being found. Mr. Miller has
requested the people- of Grand
Ronde valley to assist him'next
Sunday in a search for more evi
dence of the lost child,. The meet
ing point will be at theLadd place.
Five hundred men are wanted, as
the country to be searched is. very
brushy. "-:
Three Buildings Burned,
The Crowner hotel, town hall
and bathhouse at Meacham were
destroyed by fire early Wednesday
morning. Barney Crowner,- the
owner, and C. Betts, the manager
of the hotel, were in ; Pendleton
when the fire occurred. There were
no lodgers in the hotel at the time.
The fire started in the hotel, but
its origin is a mystery. The flames
soon enveloped the adjoining bath
house and thence spread to the town
hall, and soon the three buildings
were reduced to ashes. A build
ing situated within 50 feet of the
burning structures, was pot dam
aged. The postoffice was located
near the hotel, but it is not known
whether it was burned. The los-j
will amount to several . thousand
dollars.
The "Pudding" Was There.

ed, the editor, his family and a few
friends partook of a fine chicken
dinner on the 10th. It was the ad
vent of the eight anniversary of
their married lifo and around the
table was proof of the pudding.
That is to say, that marriage is not
always sometimes a failure.
