two main Hues, the Oregon Trunk and
the Deschutes railroads and tho build
ing ot these roads Is ot courso the
prlmo achievement of tho year In
transportation. In addition, tho Ilar

in salt water and then placed in
fresh water to mature must be la
beled "floated oysters," or they will
be considered adulterated under the
pure food cud drugs act. The new
decision was tho result of the many
briefs and reams of evidence sub
mitted since the food inspection de
cision, No. 110, on tho practice of
"floating or drinking oysters in wa
ter of less saline content thnn that
in which they were originally
caught."
The practico of floating oysters is
old. The young oysters are caught
in tho sea and brought inland, where
they are nlaccd in fresh water. The
effect of the fresh water is to en
hance greatly tho size and weight of
tho oyster, but at tho same time it
detracts from tho succulcacj of the
bivalve. It has been stated hy au
thorities that this process of ma
turing oysters also makes them more
susceptiblu to decay, but this is de
nied by oyster growers. It was con
clusively proven, however, that oys
ters shipped to the Pacific coast and
other points in the west cannot bo
taken from the floated product.
Tho decisiou warns tho oyster
grower that particular attention
should bo paid to the character ot
the water in which oysters are to
be brought to maturity. Where such
waters aro polluted it invariably fol
lows that tho oysters, well known as
scavengers, will partake of this pol
lution, and subsequent washing in
pure water is not likely to cleanse
them of impurities.

FRIEND TO DRY FARMING
sheep will bo brqught hero from other
parts of tho country. Preliminary
plans are now being made for tho
gathering, various committees being
already at work.
Livestock shipments to the Port
land markets for the month of May
are far ahead ot tho same statistics
for May of last year, showing tho
growing Importance of this market.
Particularly is a big gain shown In
hogs, which Is gratifying to the trade.
A total of 515 cars of livestock ot all
kinds came to the stockyards during
May of this year. The lncrcaso In
hogs received was over 7000 head.
Tho O. R. & N. has decided to placo
In commission a regular stock train
service, operating twlco a week from
Huntington to Portland and way
points. This will begin June 21 and
will bo a great convenience to the
stock raiser.
Douglas county is taking active
steps In securing good roads. A coun
ty association has been formed at
Roseburg to boost the movement In
that section of the state and the result
of this action will bo valuable. The
organization was perfected through
tho efforts of tho state association and
M. O. Eldridge, tho government road
expert. Meetings are now held
throughout Oregon in the Interest of
better highways and much progress Is
being made.
That Master Fish Warden McAl
lister is planning to bring the supply
of stcclhcnds in Roguo river up to
its former high standard is shown in
n letter recently received from Mr.
McAllister in regard to the recont
shipment of a half million stcelhend
eggs to the Trail hatchery for liber
ation in the Roguo. Mr. McAllister
says :
"Under date of Juuo 7, Henry
O'Mnlloy, who is in charge of tho
United States bureau of fisheries in
this state, writes me that tho ship
ment of stcclhond eggs shipped from
our Tillamook hatchery reached thoir
hatchery at Trail, on Roguo river, in
excellent condition; also that same
aro being cared for and tho resulting
fry will be liberated hi tho wntors of
Roguo river some time this fall. I
am satisfied that this is a step in the
right direction, and with n few more
consignments in the future there is
no question but what the supply of
stcelheads in Roguo river can bo
built up to its former high standard."

"Those engaged in aiding and en
couraging dry farming in our semi
arid areas aro deserving of tho ut
most encouragement and commenda
tion and should be regarded as pub
lic benefactors."
Richard A. Ballingor, secretary of
the interior, says this in u letter to
'John T. Burns, secretary of the dry
farminc congress, which will have
its fifth sessions and international
1tt? tftwrnnff nvnADifinn in finilrnna
the week of October 3, adding:
"When commissioner of the gen
eral land office in 1007 I recom
mended tho enactment of legislation
which would encourage dry farming
upon our semi-nrid public lands by
permitting their dispositon under tho
homestead laws in sufficient area
and without the requirement of resi
dence and since the enactment of the
so-called enlarged homestead act.
"I have, ns secretary of the inter
ior, designated more than 170,000,
800 acres of land for entry under its
provisions. Tho number of home
stead applications presented under
this law fully justifies the legisla
tion in question and promises a
larger increase in the area of culti
vated lands in tho west and in the
production of tho food supplies de
manded by tho increasing population
of our country."
Mr. Bellinger's loiter was prompt
ed by the receipt of a copy of tho
Dry-Fanning Congress Bulletin of
June 1, containing tho official call
of tho first annual convention of tho
Wyoming State Dry-Fanning associ
ation, which will moot at Cboyonno
on July 20 and 21.
