THE GAZETTE. iBfePPNER, THURSDAY, Judo 6, 1 IRRIGATION OF OUR SEMI-DESERT SECTIONS. California has always been alive and active in matters relative to agriculture, and recent efforts to have a proper consideration of the question regarding the irrigation of arid lands by the United States, represented through a committee appointed by the senate, with a view of gaining suet information on the subject as to enable them to report and recommend for the consideration of the next session of congress that this body can take necessary steps to irrigate the desert and semi-desert land of the Pacific coast, adds to the progress ive laurels of that ever-productive state. M. M. Estee, the chair man of the local committee on the subject, has issued a call to the members tomeet the senate's com mittee in San Francisco this week. While California, through char acteristic energy and foresight, will receive the major part of the benefit resulting from the Work of these committees, it will result in inestimable good to the whole of the Pacific coast. Oregon and Washington have large bodies of land which, under favorable con ditions, would produce the cereals of the Pacific slope, all the fruits of the Northwest, and add much to the list of taxable property. In Morrow couDty alone from 40,000 to 50,000 acres, known as the sand belt, would be reclaimed from a semi-desert state and made desirable for agricultural, horticul tural and fruit raising. The burn ing sands would become cool, tem pering the north winds which be come heated in the Hummer season, to the benefit of the whole of Mor row county. As winter range for cattle, sheep and horses it accommodates thou sands. But the time is now at hand when no part of our country capable of producing the cereals and fruits can be allowed to lay idle and vacant. The rougher mountain ranges which are not capable of being cultivated under any circumstances, will serve well as summer range for our stock. In this section of both stock and agri cultural interest, it is quite neces sary for the stockmeu to purchase large bodies of grazing lunds for winter pasturage. They do not nor can not depeud longer on gov ernment grass. The attention of these commis sioners must be called to Morrow county's semi-desert land. Flow ing alongside is the navigable and beautiful Columbia, whose waters diverted from their natural course to the great Pacific, would render this the cream of our agricultural lunds, relegating the sand-toad and coyote to more remote and less en terprising districts. Sagebrush and greasewood would disappear along with these old and familiar resi dents, giving place for the hos pitable home of the farmer and fruit-raiser, and furnirdi to the markets the choicest productions of the orchard, garden and grniufield to the benefit of our country, our transportation companies and the Northwest, in which we all have a mutual interest. THE WHEAT CROP OF PACIFIC STATES. THE From California comes the en couraging report of a large wheat crop. It has boen estimated that 2,000,000 tons of that cereal will be raised in the golden state this season. A telegram to the Orc qonian gives figures that are start ling to the' non-observer who passes lightly over the great 2,000,000 ton crop of California. It says: "A little calculation shows that this would load 200,000 cars. Al lowing thirty feet to acor.it would make a train 1,136 miles long. It would require over 500 curs a day for 3G5 days to take it out of the state. It would load 2,000 ships, allowing 1,000 tons to a ship. Al lowing fifteen sacks to a ton, and each Back thirty-two inches long, and lay them end to end, and they would reach 15,150 miles and have one sack over." Oregon and Washington are no less prosperous this year, and will produce fully as many bushels at California in proportion to the acreage. This enormous amount of grain will seek largely a foreign market, and suggests a big busi ness for the various transportation companies, and universal enjoy ment of well-merited prosperity for the whole of the Pacific elope. A LOW CLASS OF BILKS. A confidence man, a stranger who claims the honor of knowing you, your cousins, aunts, uncles, and two or three generations of your kindred and then ingratiates himself into your good-will and confidence, in order to work off on you a bogus draft; a thimble-1 rigger who works his little game bo plain and simple that the un wary are sure tp be entrapped; the check-raiser, hay-fork and fan-mill swindler, lightning-rod bilks (the latter of whom we know but little here); the manipulator of worth less checks; the road agent, pil ferer and burglar are no more than the man who gets into your debt through a presumption of honesty, and having the means with which to pay, and when least expected, jumps the country with his prop erty and your hard-earned cash. He is able to accomplish this, per haps, by years of duplicity, the vic tim only being able to discover the better part of the bilk. This class of mankind is worse than any of the above-enumerated criminals. He robs you, which is all that any thief would do. Residents of Morrow county have had some experience with this class of bilkism during the past year, and those who not only suffered a breach of confidence to the detri ment of poor but honest men, besides being fleeced, fully appre ciate the just comparison of that class of robbery with the bolder, but none the less unprincipled, modes of fleecing human kind. THE S ASWAN TREATY. On the 31st ult., the rough draught of the Samoau treaty was telegraphed to America and Eng land. The State department, which means Jus. Blaine, has nothing to say regarding the final settlement of the trouble, which reticence will likely continue to be a character istic of his actious till the signing of the treaty proper and its ratifi cation. It is said that Bismark has made a complete backdown, his position being decidedly wrong from the first. Had the German consul re frained from interfering with mat ters which did not concern him nor his country there would have been no Samoan trouble. Bismark has made au egregious failure in at tempting to support a rotten policy. SPECIAL, COUNCIL MKUTINQ.

The report came to town last Satur d y evening that Percy Blythe and G :o. Copelsnd had had some difficulty w hich resulted in Blythe being made a target for "Cope's" repeating rille. Our reporter, anxious to secure a full account of the mntter, made some inquiries of Mr. Blythe regarding the trouble, but he was silent on the subject, and the g. r. was compelled to piok up bis information as best be conld. Geo. Copeland, who is a pioneer herder of these celebrated bills, has been em ploped by Blythe in that oapaeity, and white in town reoently gave an order to E. L. Matlock on his employer for some $40. This was duly aooepted, but afterwards Blythe claimed as he only owed "Cope" 818 he did , ot like to pay the full nmouut. However, Mr. Mat lock insisted on the payment which he promised to make soon. This was on Friday of last week, and nothing more was thought of the matter. On Saturday Blythe informed the men at the Newton ranch that he was going over to where "Cope" was herding to give him a thumping. Coming up to where "Cope" was looking after his baud, he produced a penoil and asked for a knife with which to sharpen it, saying that lis desired to settle up. The knife is a large one which "Oope" always has with him, aud is his ouly means of de fense, being an elderly man, ncripple, pos sibly some below the medium size. At this juncture Blythe suggested that the sheep were scattering, and as "Cope" turned to look after them, he received a blow in the neck from Blythe which knocked him down, itlytlie then gave him a thorough beating, which was not dilliriilt tor mm to u i, as he is u very powerful young man and well skilled iiitistic matters. Tnisoocurredjustafter dinner on fSuturduy uud lilythe returned to the ranch. "Cope" looked after the sheep till even ing, and after the band were corralled got down his large repeating rifle, 45 eal., aud struck out fur the Newton ranch to inter view Mr. Wlvthe and have a further ex change of courtesies, lilythe, Ijord aud J. M. VVoruen were at supper, the gentle man being attended by a Chinese oook. "Cope" walked through the sitting room into the dining apartment aud to the kitchen door, which he threw open, level ing his gun on lilythe, Baying, "you s-n-of-a-b h, 1 have got you," and pulled the trigger, but from some reason the cartridge did not explode, lilythe jumped to his feet aud ran through the pantry into tlie dining-room, followed by the Chinaman. Justus Blythe passed through the door, "Cope" shot at him, coming so close that it tilled his faoe with splinters. A window in the dining-room ulforded speedy means of escape, and through it went lilythe and the oook. "Cope" was still on the war-path and followed him out, but tlin object of his wrath was some distunce awny. Mounting an old field-roller, he took deliberate aim at him, but without effect. Blythe was ell over toward tho Hperry ranch by this time. He came over to Hughes canyon and from there to Heppner, where he re lated the story of the encounter to Deputy Sheriff Hairington as well as any mau could who had been a turgetfor a large rillo in the hands of a deliberate man. Mr. lilythe desires to leave for England shortly, and it is not likely that ho will make auy complaint as a proseouting witness. "Cope" is known as a dead shot, and while peaceable generally, is determined and revengeful when smart ing under a wrong, and Peroy can thank his Creator that he escaped with his life.
