    BIG FARM III TRACTS
Pilot Rock Feeding Grounds First to
Be Cut Up for Intensive and
Diversified Farming:.
That tbe Switt Packing oompany
Lag uo intention of making Pilot Rock
- 11 feeding grounds was stated fay VYm.
II. Daagbtrey of Portland who repre
sents tbe interests of tbat big cjucern
in Umatilla oonnty says tbe East Ore
Kouian. Mr. Daagbtrey thought not,
bat would not say whether any other
concern was desiring tnat location for
snob a purpose.
From the time of tbeir pnrcbase'of
tbe property some years ago nulil too
present season tbe Swift people have
used the Umatilla ranch in the Mead
ows district as a winter feeding
grounds. This plan has been aban
doned at present, however, and al
though about 300 bead of cattle are
beiug wintered at tbat place they are
being bandied by individuals who
bavo leased pasture from tbe oompany.
Tbe Swift people who are interested
iu tbe ranob, and Mr. Daugbtrey as
tboir manager bave come to tbe con
clusion that tbe ranob as" a district
devoted to intensive cultivation un
der diversified farming will be of
inuob greater value to themselves as
well as to the country, than in its
present form and it is being now
broken up into tracts of from 10 to 40
aoros tbe first big farm holding in
Umatilla county to be so cat up.
Aooording to Mr. Daugbtrey the
showing made upon the ranob daring
tbe past unfavorable season has de
monstrated that it will take rank
among tbe fiuit-producing seotions of
tbe west end. Until tbe orchards can
be developed, however, many of the
settlers are going into dairying and
honey for returns.

SOME SCHOOL NOTES.
By Prof. T. D. Miner.
These bracing October days are
splendid school days. And all tbe
sobool affairs are beginning to assume
tbe customary forms of regular routine.
In the high sobool grades tbe work
in Amerioan Literature has now
teaobed a point of real live interest.
Tbe class bas jnst finished tbe study
of Washington- Irving.
In tbe eighth grade aiitbmetio tbe
class bas been working out tbe various
applications of Interest Piof. Smith
realizes tbat Ibis oommeroial phase
of tbe Aritbmetio work will be of far
more importance than aor other part
of tbe subject, in tbe after lives of tbe
pupils. He is teaobing this work in
tbe form wbiob bis long experience
bas shown bim to be tbe most praotical
plan.
One need only glanoe into room
four, at tbe many blackboard outlines,
to be oonvinoed of tbe industry in that
room. A number of tbe text books iu
use at present treat tbeir sobjeots so
extensively tbat it is almost impossible
tor pupils in tbe sixth or seventh
grades to accomplish much unless
eaob lesson is outlined for them. This
is what Miss Blaoobe Orswell, the
teaoher, is doing. These outlines have
two consequences. In tbe first place
they mean a tremendous amount of
work for tbe teacher. In tbe second
plaoe they have resulted in numerous
favorable comments by tbe patrons of
the school relative to tbe progress of
those pupils.
Would Mortgage the Farm.
A farmer on Rural Route 2, Empire,
Ga., W. A. Floyd by name, says:
"Booklen's Arnica Salve onred the
two worst sores I ever saw : one on my
band and one on my leg. It is worth
more than its weight in gold. I would
not be without it if I bad to mortgage
tbe farm to get it." Only 25o at
