Mr. Perry came out about eight years ago from Pittsburg, Pa., where be "held down" one job in the iron works for nearly fourteen years. He is greatly pleased with this country, and says if a man can't make a living and do well here he can't anywhere in the United States. This section needs many more such men as Mr. Perry. The Weston Leader has the following to say about Dick Uerberding, who for merly lived near Fossil: Last Wednes day, on the Weston mountain, Dick Geo herding bad a rather disastrous runaway. He was cutting wood, and bad tied his team to a tree. He cut down another tree near tbe horses, and the fall of It frightened them. They broke loose and started pell-mell through tbe timber, finally running " against a tree. One horse's leg waa broken, and the animal bad to be shot. The other was severely hurtand the wagon waa budly demol- Pcnnsylvania bas recently adopted a law which provides that those owning and using draft wagons with tires not less than 4 inches wide for hauling loads ot not less than 2,000 pounds, shall re ceive a rebate of one-fourth of their road tax. Michigan bas had for about fifteen years a similar law, and the effect is very apparent Roads are more easily built, and they keep themselves In re pair, except the removing of loose rock. We believe in view of the light soil of this portion of the country, the farmers would find it economy, even without legislative encouragement, to use such wagons. This state could well afford to follow the example of Michigan and Pennsylvania. Tuesday evening Mr. David Zachary of Shultler Flat met with an accident which will perhapa terminate fatally. While returning home from Arlington tbe bridle came off of one of his horses, causing a runaway. Mr. Zachary was thrown violently to the ground and run over, breaking both legs and one arm and Injuring him internally. Dr. Gei- eendorfer was summoned and he was ta ken to his homo, where he lies In a crit ical condition. As be is 63 years old his chances for recovery are doubtful.

One of otif "niost . prominent farmers (who prefers Ms name withheld from publication) offers tbe following sensible argument to show why a small farm in tbis country can be made to pay better tban a large one. lie writes: It bas seemed to me for several years tbat the great trouble with the farmers of Gilliam county has been they are try ing to farm too many acres and as a consequence are farming too poorly, And especially is this true of the laat few years. As the prices of farm pro ducts have gone down they have farmed more acres in order to keepthelr Incomes up to what they were in former years, not realizing that the more acres farmed the more one's expenses are bound to he. It ia being asserted by practical farmers all through tbe east tbat ten acres of land properly cultivated to vegetables or fruit will make a good living for a fam ily. If tbis is true sorely eighty or even forty acres here will do the same thing. I believe there is more money made in farming eighty acres than one hundred arid sixty, provided tbe same amount of work is put on each. To prove tbis let uu take the following example : Suppose A &B begin with 160 acres apiece and A farms 80 acres and B bis whole 160, putting it in wheat. A plow. SO acres at II per acre ISO 00 Harrowing, seeding;, at II per acre SO 00 HuarllnKatllperarre 80 00 Tbreahlng 2,400 bu.tel at 5c a bu.hel .. 100 Total , IfflOOO Twenty-four hundred bnsbels at 25 cts per bushel equals $600.00. From, tbis take $300.00 and he will have $240.00; for his work. ; j B plowa 160 acres at fl peracre .....110000 Seeding, harrowing, at II per acre ..... 160 00 Mewling at II peracre ,..10000 Threshing 8200 tnuhela at 8c a tmihel ... 160 00 Total , , 1640 00 Thirty-two hundred bushels at 25 cts per bushel equals $800.00 From .tbis take $640.00 and be will have $160.00 for hla summer's work, or just two-thirds as much as A has made on his 80 acres. In the above example I have reasoned A's crop at 30 bushels per acre and B's at 20, but 1 believe the difference in the yield will be far greater than this. Now suppose that A rents bis other 80 acrce to a neighbor, who farms it as well as he does his own, and gets one third for rent, lie will receive 400 bush els more from bim, which, at 25 cts per bu. will bring him $100.00 more. This will bring bis income up to $340.00 while B's will only be $160.00. Now there may be some who. will say tbat a man cannot raise 30 bu. per acre without summer-fallowing; but I know a man not far from here who threshed 66 bushels per acre, and another one who sold 18 tons ot hay from 12 acres be sides putting up several tons for himself, and tbis on buncbgrass - land and not a summer-fallow. It is said that there la more waste land from an agricultural standpoint in this state than in the Mississippi Valley. All the land capable ot cultivation in tbia county should be in small holdings and made to produce to the limit. Small farming means . mucb. It means better roads, better Bcbools, near er neigbgors, and better markets. It means companionship, sociability and touch with the world. L Our climate invites outdoor lite, it in vites people from more rigorous sections to come and prolong their, lives and use fulness. Lone Rock Rlpets. Crops need rain in this section again, which we hope to see before long. ' W. II. Col well and wife starts for Portland the last of tbe week to be gone about ten days. ; : J.

Some of them are giving op their jobs of work so they can get ready for tbe oc casion. We sincerely wish them a good time. . ? People In tho lower Willow creek and Eight mile country make a great deal of complaint about squirrels being worse this year than usual. They are doing more damage in tbis vicinity this sum mer than for years. It 1b caused by the grass getting too dry for them, so they have to eat grain and garden truck or starve to death, poor things. One of the Carson boys of Haystack shot one of his fingers almost off last Monday with a 38-calibre rifle, lie was pulling it out from under his bed at bis sheep camp to shoot a coyote and did not know it was ready to go off so soon. Tbe doctor thinks he can save the finger but cannot tell for a few days vet. The ball carried away part ot tbe oone. j. ios. When yon want a header draper call on Shurte Bros, at Arlington.
