OREGON STATE ITEF4S OF INTEREST
FOR BETTER ROADS
Linn County 8pndlng Hundradt of
Dollar In Uniform Work.
Albany Borne of tlte lxt road work
In Oregon la iing done on Ilia roatu
of Linn county. TJia work la ayiite
niatic and uniform throunhout tha on
lira county. Latt aprlnx tha county
court, In filing apportionment o( mon-
eya for road puriwima, onard m an
Iditlonal Inducement to uaiia gooa
roada that every district which by aub
tcription ahould (also flOO would be
given $100 by the county.
Many of the ammcia iook mvaniage
of thia offor, and not content with rai.
Ins 1100. doubled that amount, the
county producing ita proer proportion.
A a rtwult, more money itu wen
pent improving the roads oi lAon
county thia ywtr than ever before, fand
tha money baa been apent to some
purpose, becauae the work la uniform
throughout the county. N
One of the actions looking to goou
roads was tha purchase of about a doxen
reversible road w rajers, thus making
20 in all the county. The preceding
county court put 13,608 into a Dig
steam road roller, which was not a
success for roads in this county. This
machine was traded to a acraper com
any for the 12 machines.
Wherever the land is white or clay
like, the roads have been rounded uo
and will not be graveled. They In
come compact and hard, and make the
beet roads in the county, nere me
land Is low, roads are rounded up
with Una gravel.
Grass Outlook Is Promising.
Bumpier There Is promise of an
unusual grass yield this season on the
Blue mountain raniti'S. KainfaU this
spring has been far In excess of that of
nr nut VCttfU. WHICH. COUDIOU WIIM
the warm weather that prevailed dur
Ihir the latter Dart of February and first
of March, is accountable tor mis uvor
able condition. Cattle and sheepmen
are elated over the graxing prospect
and eiiect to carry their stock well
throiiirh tha season of 1005 with little
exnense of feeding. The Blue moun
Uin ranges are still overeu wiui snow
on the uplands, while the valleye are
hnwinir a. ffOod. beaiinv growm oi
eraAt. This ouKht to mean a contln
ued suodiv oi eramng tanu uniu me
snow again comes late in the fall.
! Telephone War On.
AlUny As a result of a petition to
the Pacific Btatea Telephone company
which was numerously signed by Linn
county patrons oi tne company, a re
duction has been made in the tele-
ohone rates between Albany and
Shedds, llalsey, Brownsville, Ubanon,
8cio. Crabtree and Jelterson, tne prin
c'pal towns of the county. The rate
was reduced Irani H9 cents to 10 cents,
and is gioa only for subscciliers to the
Pac 11c States system. Tins is consul
ered by many as the beginning of the
war between the independent telephone
lines and the Pacific States Linea in
Linn county. '
Blue Mountain Creamery.
Pendleton The Blue Mountain
rrnnmerv Mas commenced to receive
cream from Umatilla county points in
addition to that being shipped from tho
Omnd Rone valley. In a short " time
Charles Berkeley, who recently pur
chased a $10,000 ranch on McKay
creek, will commence milking 20 cows
ncreasing to 30 or 40 this winter, i
a. Hallfv will milk 2 cows on ins
Wild Horse ranch, and F. B. Clopton a
number on his farm tiear this city
They are professional men of Pendleton
and enthusiasts on uairying.
Do Combines Spread Weeds?
Pendleton E. L. Smith, who sells
combined harvesters, says that the re
port that tbo combines spread weeds m
the fields Is not a fact, as the tendency
of those machines is to gather the
In sacks where they can be trans
ported from the land and burned, if so
dflRired. Mr. Smith says that the
combines are taking the place of steam
ttireshers in Umatilla county, there
being nearly 200 in the county. ,
Y. M. C. A. Is Formed.
Grants rass Through the assistance
of Secretary Stone, of the state associa
tion. flnAl work has been done in the
ornanixation of a Young Men's Chris
tian association in this city. The asso
ciation starts out with a membership
of over 100. Mony of the prominent
business men are interested in the asso
ciation, and plans are already under
way toward the erection of a . M. C.
A. building.

CONTRACT8 PRUNE CROP.
Union Frultdner Ties Up Cove and
Union Farmers for Hva Year.
Union B. A. Lassalle, of Alba.iy,
Or.; owner of the Union fruit drier,
has Just closed a five-year contract with
the prunegrowera of Cove and Union,
whereby lie agrees to buy at 1 10
per ton the entire prune crop of this
section, estimated at 1,200 ton? per
year. To aid in handling thia product,
a new drier will be erected at Cove in
time for this season's crop, and both
plants will be run to their capacity for
about 40 days during the drying season
Estimating the crop at 1,400 tons, the
dried product will be 400 tons, weight
being reduced two-thirds by the drying
pruemtn. The market for pruues is
found principally from Colorado east
ward.
It will be Seen that the running of
these driers will mean a revenue each
year to the growers of from $10,000 to
12,000, or about $50,000 to $60,000
for the total time under contract a
period of fire years. A certainty of a
market for prunes will stimulate their
growth, and it is fair to presume that
at the end of five years the yield may
be even greater than present estimates
indicate.
' Gam Laws arc Violated.
Pendleton Deputy Game iWarden
Joe Nolf has returned from a tour of
inspection through Union county. He
finds that in the mountain streams the
game laws have been totally ignored
and violated In every way. On Cath
erine creek, above Union, the sawmills
have dumped their sawdust into the
streams and have nearly ruined the
fishing in that stream. In a ride of
nine miles down the Grand Ronde river
Mr. Nolf found 13 dams over which
flub could not leap in the endeavor to
go up stream.
On MalheurfProje'ct.
Pendleton After a two days' session
here, the board of consulting engineers
of the reclamation service adjourned
and left for Ontario, from which place
the members will make a personal in
vestigation of the land included in the
Malheur project. According to D. C
Henny, one of the members of the
board, practically all the attention of
the board was given to the plans for
the Malheur and Owyhee projects. The
Umatilla project was not taken up at
all, and will not be on this trip.
