Gilliam & Bisbee HEPPNER, OREGON Portland, Ore., Nov. 17, 1914 Tlie opening of the Tumalo irriga tion project, the first in the United States to be financed by a state, has been officially announced. Seventeen thousand five hundred acres are thrown open to entry under the terms of the Carey Act at $40 an acre. The terms are one-tenth cash, the balance in ten years. Detailed information may be had by addressing the pro ject engineer, O. Laurgaard, at Laid- law, Oregon. It is stated that the lands under this project are excellent for grains and hardy vegetables, and stock rais ing is also successful. The high al titude renders this section subject to frosts in late spring and early fall and frosts have been known to oc cur during the summer months. It is expected that this condition will improve to some extent as the land is cultivated, but people desiring to locate on this land are advised to make a personal inspection instead of trusting to any unofficial reports. Great Scenic Route from Pendleton lo Astoria is Assured. Every boy and girl in Oregon will have a chance next year to take part in a hog raising contest to be backed by the Portland Union Stock Yards, the State Bankers' Association and other organizations interested in the agricultural development of the Northwest. It is planned to permit the young people to borrow money on the security of their parents or school principal which will enable them to buy their hogs for cash at current market rates, the money lo be repaid when the stock is sold. The boys and girls will be required to keep an accurate record of all their expenditures and to submit a complete report of their operations at the end of the year. Forest Supervisor Merritt at Bend has just received word of the final decision of the Secretary of Agricul ture regarding an area of 2S.500 acres in the Deschutes National For est along the Metolius River. The secretary has decided that the land is chiefly valuable for timber and is not subject to entry , as agricultural land. The yellow pine timber on this acreage is estimated to amount to about 500,000,000 feet. Eighty nine persons have filed applications for land in this section and under this decision of the secretary their claims will not be allowed. A meeting of stock holders in the Co-operative Creamery was held at Junction City recently and attended by 450 ranchers. The secretary's report showed that during the two years the plant has been operated 233,933 pounds of butter have been made, valued at $67,035, and the sales of by-products has bro'ught the gross receipts to $68,531. The av erage price of butter for the two years has been 33 1-3 cents per pound, the lowest price havbg been 25 cents and the highest 40 cent3. On December 2, 3, and 4 the 29th annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural Society will be held at Medford. A program of great in terest has been prepared for the event and fruit growers from all the aorthwestern states will be in attend ance. It is expected by the officer? '.hat this meeting will be the bast ever held in the history of the or Tanization. i Forest Notes. ?

The frame ivork of the machines, too, is gener ally made of wood, spruce being used on account of its straight grain and freedom from hidden defects. ? A surprisingly large number -of substances, ranging all the way fr"om the condensed fumes of smelters to the skimmed milk of creameries have been tried or suggested ; as means of preserving wood from de cay. Most of them, however, have been found to have little or ifo val ue for the purpose. Certain forms of coaltar creosote and zinc chloride are the most widely used wood pre servatives. It is said that the German invaders of Belgium, whatever else they may have destroyed, have been careful not to injure jark trees. The caval rymen, so the report goes, are for bidden to tie their horses to trees for fear that the animals will knaw the bark. Germany was the first nation to apply forestry on a large scale, some of the crown forests having been under scientific management for over a hundred years. Brown Leghorn cockerels for Bale.

Astoria, Ore., Nov. 17, (Special) That the Columbia highway will be opened from Pendleton to Astoria July 1, 1915, is asserted by State En gineer Bowlby, who is preparing his annual report. Figures show that a vast amount of work was done un der the supervision of the state high way commission during the past year. This work was done in the counties of Jackson, Clatsop, Colum bia, Multnomah, Hood River, Wasco, Sherman and Washington. A total of $930,000 was spent this year on the Columbia highway be tween Wasco and Seaside, and there will be available to be spent before July 1, of next year, $670,000. There well be provided by July 1, 97 miles of newly located and constructed graded road of a maximum grade of five per cent, width of roadbed 24 feet, and curves with a minimum radius of 200 feet. The work in Clatsop county Is 80 per cent com pleted and that in Columbia county is 75 per cent completed. Therefore, one cannot donate any thing for a better cause than for the work of this institution. Money can always be used to good advantage, and their needs are for everything that can be used in a household; canned goods, groceries ot all kinds, especially sugar, rice, beans and flour, also vegetables and fruits of all kinds. The rallroyl, steamboat and ex press companies running into Port land have recognized the Importance of this institution sufficiently to dead-head all donations shipped to it If properly boxed and plainly marked THE BOYS' & GIRLS' AID SOCIETY OF OREGON, PORT LAND, OREGON. The results of the work of this in stitution can now 'be seen in many parts of the state. Many of the child ren have now grown into manhood and womanhood, many are happily married and the largest percent of the cases have turned out good and law-abiding citizens; therefore, help the good cause along. It is sincerely hoped that every person having the welfare of The Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Ore gon at heart will not fail to remem ber them this year. This Society Is caring for all the dependent and ne glected children of the state who may be committed to it by the proper authorities. Their annual report is descriptive of some of the work they have accomplished, showing the So ciety has received into its care 4378 children since its organization. Dur ing the past year 443 have been re ceived from twenty-five different counties as follows; Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Crook, Clatsop, Coos, Columbia, Curry, Douglas, Hood River, Jackson, Jose phine, Klamath, Lane, Linn, Marlon, Multnomah, Malheur, Umatilla, Un ion, Wheeler, Wallowa, Wasco, Washington and Yamhill. Another grand thing which the Society accomplishes is the investi gation of complaints of abuse and neglect among children, and they luickly have an agent on the spot, and what otherwise would be no body's business they make the busi ness of this noble institution, and if '.here is merit in the complaint they see that the mater is brotught be fore the proper authorities, and the children made disposition of as may be for their best interests.
