II i RADDIT Mil More Than 6,009 Slaught ered New Years AT BUTTER CREEK DRIVE Finest Opals of Oregon Come From Morrow County Are Found In Trachyte Forma tion. The rabbit drive al the month of But ter Creek New Year day was the most successful ever held in Oregon, and it is doubtful if a larger kill was ever made anywhere. Three miles ofwire netting bad been put up for the wing. Only about 300 people participated in the drive, which started at tt o'clock, and was all over in about 20 minutes. A huge crowd had been expected from Heppner and Pendleton, but the trains were so late that but few came, and they got there too late to be parties io the drive. It was an impossible task to count the rabbits slaughtered, bat estimates of the number run from 6,000 to 8,000. Not only was the corral full of rabbits, but along the wings there were windrows of them, where the driv ers had killed them. Two coyotes were also caught in the drive and clubbed to death. One thousand of the carcasses were taken to Echo to the cannery, that be ing all that could be taken care of ctfore spoiling. Harry Rogers took 1500 of theu (home to cook up for hog food, and the taUace were left to rot upon the ground. nniHu id toi gMwriwiM- m pw-w- enal. The sage brush is aln wh them and they are becoming very deitractlye, especially so to the young alfalfa. Drives have been held there every few days to deqrease the number, but Friday's drive was.the moat successful of all, and on jjjpundajr. jfanuary 10th, there will be an- 0 'etjk.waj at his drive where one orfiv. - ,eR$ed that there that they have secured thn nrnmua rj over 1,000 rooms for use of visitors and delegates during the meeting in that city. At first the committee thought that rooms would be hard to find, owing to the apparent scarcity of houses and the possibility of all the rooms in the occupied houses being filled, but the response to a call for rooms has de valoped the fact that there is plenty cf spare rooms for all, and so the matter of accommodation is practically settled now. This will be gratifying news to the many stockmen who contemplate at tending the convention and have been wondering whether they would be able to secure lodging. A large number of Morrow county stockmen expect to visit the convention. Cattle Shipment. -E. H. Evans drove in a herd of 25 head of bet f cattle from 8pray Sunday which he sold to John Kinsman, who in turn ehipped them to the Port land mareket Tuesday. They were a very good lot of beef cattle, bringing 3o at the stock yards here. NOTES FROM G.QOSEBERRY The fo cleared away on January first 1904 with a little cold rin.

(I'll! ill Stock Doing Well on Range Grain Growing Nicely TO TRY DRY LAND ALFALFA If Experiments are a Success Question of Rejuvlnatlngthe Eastern Oregon Range Has Been Already Solved Crop reports received by the local Weather Bureau for the month of December are very favorable, especially o as to fall wheat which is doing finely in nearly every section of the state. Except in portions of the state where the weather wss clear, little plowing was done during the latter portion of the month, owing to the wetness of tne ground, and hardley any seeding was carried on in the state during the month stall. Stock is doing well, and in a greater part of the state is yet on the pasture. Fruit trees are in fine shape, but it is feared that Ujey may bloom prematurely, while the cold weather is yet on. Root and forage nlants and vegetables show an excellent growth, and have not been impared by the froety weather. Dry Land Alfalfa. Colonel R. C. Judson made arrange ments with T. C. Taylor to take or ders br the "dry land" alfalfa seed, which the O. R. & N. industrial de partment is introducing into Eastern f wt'l order fwtce tnen amooBr tnat thought would be sufficient for the demand at first. lie will probably order a ton of the seed the first shipment, to be parceled out in small amounts to the different farmers who desire to give it a trial. It will grow and make a good crop on the dries land, defying drouth, hot weather or flooding, and if -the tests prove successful throughout the dry section of the state. Colonel Judson feels that the question of rejuvenating the ranges has already been solved. East Oregonian. LEXINGTON ITEMS Goes to Honululu Rev. V. E, Potwine, who for man, years has been the rector of the church of the Redeemer in Pendleton, and also prom'nently connected with the Epis copal church of this city, has decided to leave Oregon and take a charge in Honolulu. The church to which Mr. Potwine has been called is one of the largest on the Island, having 400 members in its congregation. It is one of the leading and most Influential congregations on th island, and the friends here of Mr. Potwine while regretting to loam of his departure will be pleated to Warn that he will be so well placed in the event of his change.
