GILMAN-FRENCH
RANCH IS SOLD
Wheeler County Ranch of 34,000
Acres Sold to Portland
Interests.
(The Dalles Optimist)
What ia probably the bifCRCHt real
estate deal made In Eaitern Oregon
in recent years wai consummated
during the past week when the Gil-man-French
ranch in Wheeler county
passed from the hands of the French
Interests to S. F. Wilson and asso
ciates. Mr. Wilson is the president of
the Bankers Discount Corporation,
and has taken charge of the proper
erty. The deal was made through
the Max Luedeman Company, of Port
land. This property is one of the largest
of its kind In the entire state, and one
of the best known. The entire ranch
is composed of 34,000 acres, approxi
mately 6,000 being tillable land. Much
of this land is in a high state of cul
tivation, and in years gone by as high
as 6,000 head of cattle have been han
dled on the property. It is one of
the best watered ranches in the coun
ty, several streams of considerable
size flowing through it, and springs
being located on many sections.
An idea of the immensity of this
property can be obtained from the
fact that on it there is in excess of
200 miles of fence in other words,
enough fence to go from The Dalles
to Portland, with plenty left over to
enclose The Dalles.
The exact consideration has not
been made public, but it is reported
to be well in excess of a quarter of a
million dollars. A KubstHiitiul puy
ment down has been made, and the
balance is to be paid over on the title
being satisfactorily proven, the date
to be not later than the 16th of next
month. The fact that the new own
ers have taken possession and placed
their stock on the property indicates
that there is practically no ponsibility
of the deal falling through. It is re
ported that the new owners will stock
the ranch to capacity, with both sheep
and cattle.
The Giiman-French ranch was op
erated successfully for years under
the management of J. W. Gilman, well
known cattle man. In 1904 Mr. Gilman
was injured while haying, when a
cable broke, a block striking him in
the head. From that time he was un
able to handle the ranch.
For some time past O. B. RoberUon,
deputy state superintendent of banks,
in charge of French ft Co., has been
making a personal effort to dispose
of this property, French ft Co. hold
ing a mortgage of $05,000 on 11,000
acres of it. The deal was so large
that the dozens of people who became
interested Anally backed out, and it
was feared that a latsifactory sale
could not be made until spring. Sev
eral parties with colonization plans
and considerable cash visited the
property and tried evory wny to nwtng
the trade, but were unab' to raise
the large amount required. The sale
involves some of the finest land in
Wheeler county, and it Is certain that
the day will come when the immense
holdings will be cut up, and support
scores of families.
Sale Means Bank Dividend.
When the final payment Is made on
this sale a dividend of ten per cent
will be distributed by French ft Com
pany, according to Mr. Robertson. In
addition to the ten per cent in the
commercial department, a payment
of another three per cent will be made
in the savings department. This will
make a total paid depositors in the
commercial department of sixty per
cent, and ninety three per cent in
the savings department.
Mr. and Mrs. Otis Patterson and
party were here Sunday night from
Canyon City, enroute to Portland to
attend the Grand Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias. They were over
night guests at the Hurlburt home.
Mr. Patterson is an attorney at Can
yon City. He was Receiver of the
United States land office at The Dal
les several years ago at the time J. P.
Lucas was Register. He and Mr.
Lucas talked over old times, while in
the city. Condon Globe-Times.
Wm. Luttrell was one of a party
who went to Snake river yesterday
hunting. Mr. and Mrs. Luttrell came
up from their home at Grass Valley
Friday to take in the last day of the
fair and were disappointed on account
of the rain forcing the fair to close.
They did get to witness the big fire
in Joseph Sunday morning however.

Beavers and Sundodgers
Meet Homecoming Day
O. A. C. and Washington U. Teams
Thought Evenly Matched; Bag
Rush, Feed, Other Feature
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Oct. 16. Beavers vs. Washing
ton univesity "Sundodgers" is the big
bill that will be put on for the col
lege alumni, Oregon newspaper men
and other attendants at homecoming,
Saturday, November 3. The Kook
Soph bag rush, varsity '0" procession,
cafeteria lunch and annual ball are
other events already scheduled.
The Beavers are credited by L. H.
Gregory, Oregon sports writer, who
visited the campus and gave the team
the once-over, with being unusually
strong in the line and very hard to
score on. R. B. Rutherford, coach,
is putting in hard licks just now to
develop a fast, hard-hitting back field.
If the raw material develops accord
ing to promise the Beavers should
have a slight edge on their rivals. All
hands agree that it will be a pretty
game, well worth going far to see.
Oregon editors have been specially
invited, by Carl Lodell, manager of
student activities, and Sigma Delta
Chi, journalistic fraternity, to be
guests of the college for the day. At
homecoming last year nearly 100 Ore
gon newspaper writers and publishers
gathered to see the sports and look
the college over.
Campus roadways have been broad
ened and improved until it will be
possible to handle the crowds with
less confusion. Bell field is in good
condition now, and both frrandstands
and much of the bleacher section are
rainproof.
The Waldo co-eds have agreed to
vacate Waldo hall for the day to pro
vide the alumni and the editors the
best place on the campus for cafe
teria lunch and friendly chat. Most
guests know what it means to eat at
Waldo with Miss Sybilla Hadwen, di
rector of dormitories in charge.
INDIAN FINED FOR KILLING ELK.
For shootnig an elk, a couple of
weeks ago in the north end of the
county, Stephen Reuben, a Nezperce
Indian, was fined $500 by Justice A.
B. Conaway on Monday. A jail term
also provided by the drastic law pro
tecting elk, was waived on condition
that the Indian pay the fine. He de
parted to get the money, in custody
of Game Warden Albee of Umatilla
county.
Two elk were killed on the head
waters of Salmon river, above Troy,
and near the Washington state line.
The hides were taken by game officials
at Lewiston and a search made for
the hunter. He had come to Enter
prise, and then had gone on to Pen
dleton. The Umatilla county warden and
F. M. Brown, chief deputy state game
warden, located him and brought him
to Enterprise. He pleaded guilty and
the heavy fine was imposed. Enter
prise Record-Chieftain.
DENTISTS ARE ASSOCIATED.
Dr. M. A. Leach, formerly of Cor
vallis where he practiced dentistry
for several years, is now associated
with Dr. F. L Ingram in the practice
of dentistry here. Dr. Leach came
to Pendleton on account of the higher
altitude. Pendleton East Oregonian.

Farming Prosperity Is
Vision of 0.A.C Dean
No Nee for Alarm Over Decrease In
Agricultural Students Throughout
N ation, Declares A. B. Cord ley.
Present indications point to a ris
ing tide in farming conditions all
over the United States, according to
A. B. Cordley, dean of the school of
agriculture.
Although 10 leading agricultural
colleges of the country report an av
erage decrease of 28 per cent in de
gree students in agriculture. Dean
Cordley sees no need for alarm over
the situation. The agricultural de
pression of the last two years, the
contniued propaganda to the effect
that the farmer is the "under dog"
have caused this condition, he be
lieves. "Farming conditions are surely on
the upward trend," says Dean Cord
ley. "The nation has passed the low
point in agricultural depression, and
prices for farm products are rising
while the cost of farm commodities is
falling. The student who does not al
low his future to be influenced too
much by present conditions is making
a good investment in common sense,
because agriculture ia a basic indus
try, and in the long run it must be
profitable. We are approaching a per
iod of agricultural prosperity, and
when it comes, it will bring increased
opportuntiea and demand for trained
leaders."
A statement made this week by Sen
ator Arthur Capper, wheat belt pub
lisher and chief of the senate farm
bloc, corroborates Dean Cordley's be
lief as to the upward tendency of ag
riculture. The income of farmers
this year will be a billion dollars over
la' t. the senator predicts, and al
though conditions are still not what
they should be, progress is rapidly be
ing made, and the vast majority of
farmers are feeling better.

Oregon Agricultural
Program Soon Ready
Aim fa to Help Farmer Realise P re
fits en His Industry Comnaensnr
ate With Expense and Value.
To assist in bringing about condi
tions that will make it possible for
the Oregon farmer to realize from his
labor and investment returns that
are commensurate with those received
in other lines of endeavor the Exten
sion service of the Oregon Agricul
tural college has made a detailed
study of agriculture in this state and
will publish soon this information in
bulletin form under the title "An Ag
ricultural Program for Oregon."
This study points out what crop,
livestock and fruit products are be
ing grown, where and in what quan
tities, and how this production har
monizes with consumption demands.
Account is taken of both the ability
to produce and the possibility of pro
fitably marketing the product.
It is shown that the population of
the state has grown from 13,000 in
1860 to 783,000 in 1920 and that the
value of farm property has increased
from S million dollars to 818 million
in the same period. Nevertheless,
only 8.2 per eent of the state's 61,
188,480 acres are listed in the U. S.
census for 1919 as "improved land."
A definite program for agricultural
development Is suggested as a guide
for all agencies interested in improv
ing farm conditions in Oregon.

Hardman Plays First
Game of the Season
Hardman high school ptayfd their
first football game when they met
Lexington's second team on the Ut
ter' field Friday. The game was
clean and was played In a sportsman
like manner. No man en the Hard
man team was distinguished for his
individual playing as was Juni De
vine of the Lexington squad. The
victory for Lexington was due to Ma
speed, while the Hardman team made
themselves noticeable for their ac
curacy in the forward pass.
Although the score was 27 to 12 In
favor of Lexington, the Hardman boys
are to be congratulated on their suc
cess in consideration of the fact that
this was their first experience with
foctball. We are informed that but
two of the boys who played Friday
had never seen a game. They proved,
however, that they have the stuff in
them, and with their fine new equip
ment they should be encouraged to
get down to good work and come out
better than second best in future en
counters. We are Informed by Prof. Kellogg
of Lexington that this was really a
practice game between the two teams
and the Lexington team was com
posed largely of the grammar school
boys who had not been in a game be
fore this season. A fair sized crowd
witnessed the game.
FINED $104 AND COSTS.
Henry Cohn, who was arraigned
in the Justice court on October 1 for
having intoxicating liquor in his po
session and plead not guilty, was
again brought before the court on
Tuesday, October 9, and on changing
his plea to guilty was fined $100 and
$2.60 costs.
