BORG JKWKI.KR AND OPTICIAN The People of County Thor oughly Aroused to Necessity of Helping Development Movement. We are pleased to note that Morrow county 1 becomining thoroughly aroused the necessities of getting in and doing her share in the way ot upbuild- ng of our county and state. To that end Judge Ay era and Mayor Gilliam have appointed delegates to the regon Development League, which meets in Portland next Tuesday and Wednesday. Judge Ayera appointed the following : Frank E. McKnieht. J. S. Buesick. A. Iferren, C. A. Rhea, C. C. Patter- son, E. C. Asbbaugh, B. B. Kelly, awter Crawford, D. O. Justus and Geo. W. Vincent. Mayor Gilliam appointed R. C. Wills, .P. Farnsworth, F. Warnock, Pbil Metchan, E. M. Shott, G. W. Phelps, E. Redfleld, 8. P. Garriguei, Frank Roberts and W. G. Scott. Judge Ayers bas also seat out re quests to 20 different farmers from various sections of the country asking them to mail him a statement by Aug ust I, of the number of acres farmed by each during tbe past five years, the number of acres planted each year to wheat, rye, barley, fruits, vegetables, etv . and tbe average yield ot each yearly during tbe past five years. Tbe judge expects to attend the meet ing armed with these figures, which be believes will make a good showing as to the productiveness of 'Morrow county! soil, and which can be used to advantage later in any advertising matter that may be prepared for distribution. Now that the ball has been started to rolling it is to be hoped that oar citizens will keep the good work mov ing until a great good to our county has been accomplished. The time Is now ripe for the organi sation of a local commercial or push club in our town, and it is believed this can be done with less efforts immediately following the completion of the state organization than at any time later. We need not only a push club for the county but one as well for onr town. The development of the county's 1 re sources is, of course, necessary to the growth of our town yet our town, will derive but little good from county de velopment if we are willing to rest supinely and let our more energetic neighbors reap the benefis that may be derived from the development' of the county's industries. Our county has an immense amount of room to grow in distrially and this growth is going to make the towns of the country grow proportionately, but the town that gets in and helps itself most energetically will reap the greater benefits of the indnstrial harvest. sympathy to the fraternity; an active member of the order, whose utmost endeavors were exerted for its welfare and its prosperity ; a friend and com panion who was dear tc ns all. Resolved, that the heartfelt sympathy of this lodge be extended to his family in their affliction. Resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon tbe records of the lodge, and a copy thereof be tran mitted to the families of our deceased brother and to each of the newspapers of Hepp ner. f Clvdb Brock Committee'j Guo. Nobi.e ( L. C. Campbell Dry Land Alfalfa. T.C.Taylor last spring disposed of about 1800 pounds of dry land alfalfa seed, all of which was bought with the intention of fully demonstrating its peculiar merits or other wise, on upland and semi-arid toils. It was sold out in lots of five, 10 and 20 pounds; in fact, all the way from five io 150 pounds was sold in a lot. This seed was sown all the way from Heppner to Walla Walla. No particular returns have been made, but in general terms it is known to have done well in almost every instance, and a portion of it made such a vigorous and close growth tbat it has been cut once this, its first season. air. layior is very trank about ex pressing tbe opinion that "dry land alfala" is not peculiar in any tense ex cept that it is the product of seed from alfalfa which has been raised for a sue cetston oi years on lands wbicb were semi-arid, and as a result it baa become "acclimated" to hazardous and unfavor able conditions of soil and moisture, and for tbat reason is perhaps more hardy and will withstand drouth, better than the product of aeed crown where there is an abundance of moisture. E. O, I MB Farmers Encouraged, Pros pects for Stiff Market. LUB 55C BLUEST EM 60C General CroD Condition are Favorable In Eastern Oregon Better than Expected. The first sale of wheat of tbe new crop was reported foim Pendleton last week when a lot of 8,000 basnets of No. 1 club sold for 55 cents a bushel. This it considered a good opening price, as it seldom opens above 50 cents. Just what the price will be later on is a matter of speculation, of course, bnt with a good start the farmers will naturally feel some encouragement in anticipation of a stiff market. Blueetem is quoted at 60 cents a bushel..1 Irvlngton Track Races. One of tbe longest race meeting ever attempted in Oregon will open at Port land on August the 8 and continue to August 28, and possibly through the first two weeks in September. A large force of workmen are rushing the work of getting Irving ton race track in shape for the coming meet Already trainers and owners are shipping their strings to the track, and the officers of the Multnomah Fair Association are pre paring to stable 500 horses, the pick ol those now racing at Seattle. It is the intention of the association this year to give $10,000 away in purses (or the stake events alone. This as sures big fields in each of tbe events. and it will bring together some of the best horses racing on the coast. The Oregon Stakes, the first stake event ol the season, closed with 53 entries, and among them are such horses as Mysty's Pride, Step Around, who won tbe open ing stake event at Ssattle; Lady Uek Albermarle and a large number of other clever performers. The big stake race of tbe meeting will be the Irvington handicap, value $1000 to the winners. For this money such horses as Modicum, ForeBt King, George Berry, Yeterano, Mr. Dingle and Gate Way, and many outers win lace starter Mulboiiand on August 20, tbe date of the race. Real Estate.

Resolutions of Condolence At a regular meeting of Willow Lodge No. CO, I. O. O F., held July 20. 1904 tbe following preamble and resolutions were unatilmoui'y adopted; v bereas, It bas pleaeed Uod to re move from our midst our late Bro. M L'chloiitha', and Wheioas, it is but just that a fitting recognition of bis many virtues should be had, therefore be it Resolved, by Willow Lodge No. 00, I. O. O. F., that while we bow with humble submission to the will of the Most High, we do not the lees mourn (or our brother who has been taken from us. Resolved, that in the death of Bro Llchtenthal this lodge laments the loss of a member who waa ever ready to proffor tbe hand ot aid and the voice of Crop Conditions. U. S Department of Agriculture, cli mate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Oregon rection, for the week ending Monday, July as. The weather during the week has been unusually warm and dry, which was favorable for harvest work, bat it caused the grain to fill and ripen a little too fast. Fall wheat west of the Cascades has mostly been cat and shocked, and east of the Cascades its harvest is progressing rapidly. But little threshing has yet been done in the Willamette valley. Jn the Colum bia River valley and in Southern Ore gon the yields are generally reported to be better than expected. Early ' sown spring wheat and oats were greatly im proved by the rains of last week and they promise from fair to good returns. Later sown spring wheat and oats are thin, heading short, and generally eo poor that they are being cut for bay. Feed on tbe ranges continue better than usual, but in the Willamette valley pasture is getting short and stock is be ginning to lose flesh. Where' properly cultivated hops, gardens, corn, potatoes and field onions are doing well, but they all, as well as pasturage, would be greatly benefitted by more rain. . Some spraying has been done in the hop yards, buc the hot weather killed most of the lice, and as a role, the yards are re markably free from vermine. Apples continue to drop, bnt not to an alarm ing extent, and an average cr better than an average crop of apples . is ex pected. Peaches and blackberries are plentiful, and early appes and early pears are ripe. Big Horse Deal on With Japs. One of the passengers on the steamer Monogolia from the Orient yesterday was Henry M. Wilder, a Chicago at torney, who represents a New York Chicago and St. Louis syndicate, which is trying to make a deal to tell 50,000 cavalry horses to the Japanese govern ment, says a San Francisco special of July 16. Winter is attending to tbe legal end of tbe proposed deal, and went to Japan to consult with some Japanese officials on the subject. "I cannot tay tbat the deal is con sum mated yet," said Mr. Wisler at the Palace hotel, "but negotiations are pro gressing. If the deal is closed soon, it will mean a large sale of American horses to the Japanese. The weak point with the Japanese is cavalry. I understan they have ab ut 9,000 pon.es. On the other hand, it is somewhere near the truth to state that the Russians have with their army in Manchuria not lest than 98,000 horses. Sheep on Cascade Reserve. A dispatch from Salem says the country in the neighborhood of Brieten- bush, in the western part of the Cascade forest reserve, is threatened with devas tation of ve'gitation by reason of the encroachment of the Eastern Oregon sheepmen, with their enormous flocks of sheep. Already hundreds of sheep are to be seen in tbe vicinity of Detroit, and, it it said, there will be no less than 12,000 head in that part of the reserve before the grazing season closes. There is a question of whether tbe grazing permits contemplate the en croachment upon this territory, and the settlers in that section are vigorously protesting against it. Hon. John Minto who returned from a visit to Minto Pass through the Cas cade! last week, reports the encroach ments of Eastern Oregon sheepmen on the western part of the forest reserve that are alarming the people of tbat part of tbe countfy. Minto said that between Warm Springs and Detroit, a distance of lfl miles, he passed through six miles of sheep, 1700 in number. Minto considers it an outrage, as he does not think the sheepmen have rights so far west as they are coming, bat they claim they have a stretch two town ships wide wide there, and will bring 12,000 sheep into the district. ' Summer outers and others there are worried, thinking the sheep will destroy all pleasure, and also the opportunity for keeping domestic animals.
