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.

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

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.

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.
