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.

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,

Farmers Encouraged, Pros

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

to the track, and the officers of the
Multnomah Fair Association are pre
paring to stable 500 horses, the pick ol

It is the intention of the association

Pride, Step Around, who won tbe open
ing stake event at Ssattle; Lady Uek

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.
