The law provide that every timber
land owner In the state, not retailing
within one end ono-half mllea of hla
property, ahull furnlah a suftlcient
patrol therefor during the dry aeaaon,
and that In case he faila to do ao the
State Koreater ahall provide the lame

per annum. Any amount ao paid by
the atato ahall be a lein upon the land
and ahall le collected With the next
taxea. It in obvioua that the maximum
expenae to the owner of a quarter hoc
tion of timberland cannot exceed Srt a
year, an arnunut that ahoul I acttre no
owner into diioinK of hi timber
claims at a aacritlce.
One of the beat waya for timberland
owners to comply with the law ia to
loin county lire patrol ataoriationa that
have been organized In moat of the

will have such an organization before

DroomCorn Industry
The Orcein Manufacturer: Although
small and little known to date, the
UirhHrdon Broom factory of Adams,
UinHtllla county promisee to develop
Into a large Industry, opening new
field for the small tract farmer of
Eastern Ormon. Last season being
the first attempt at cultivation of
broom corn in Eastern Oregon, the
yield was not ss great aa It will b this
year. However, 1 1-2 seres produced
1 1-2 tuns of broom material, from
which 100 dozen brooms, as good sa
ever were shipped in from the East,
were made for ready market. Three
seres are to be sowed this year, which
with suitable weather should yield net
from S100 to S1C0 per acre. I'rof. A. A.
Asabanr, director of agriculture at the
I'endleton High arhool, plana to plant
aeveral experimental patches of the
seed this spring, with a view to fur
nishing data to the Eastern Oregon far
mer, In hopes of increasing the produc
tion of broom corn In that territory.

Editor Lake County Examiner:
Dear Sir: I enclose the above ar

opt-ratlonr marie it reosssry to call

penses, there Is certainly something
wrong, f' r ihey are bey or d the realms
of U'eiulne n far s Ihe ordinary
fsrmer is concerned, for he must fol
low such lines of action in his agricul
tural operations as will result in an in
come sufficient to pay at least the
running expenses a d supply his family
iih trie i ecersities of life, and all the
egriculiuml colleges in t e land cou d
not mxke a successful farmer out of
him if they taught him to do less than
that.
When trie Agricultural College can (
take trie land and the seed and the j
necessary tools and produce crops and j
stock on a paying basis, it will be un- i
necessary to make appropriations
from the State's funds to keep It going,
and it will then have solved the great
problem thut is cunfr wting the masses
today, and be in a position to teach
the individuals the science of Belt sup
port directly from the Isnd.
It seems to me that when an agricul
tural expert is unable to conduct his
demonttrntions from year to year
without calling for additional funds
each year, he has proved himself en
tirely incompetent to fill the position
he occupies.
This ia not intended ss a personal
reflection upon the work of sny one in
particular, but simoly as an expression
of my belief a to the principle that
shoul i govern the conduct of such institution-',
and I believe they will never
accomplish the good tbey should, until
they are placed upon that basis.

"There will be an extraordinarily
heavy movement of emigrsnts out cf
Sweden, Denmsrk snd Norway ir ti j
Oregon ami the Fscih Northwest with
in the next year or two," according to
P A. Paulson, representative of the
Scandinavian-American and Kussian
Anvricsn Steamship Lines says the
Portland Telegram. He has been mak
ing a thorough canvass of the situation
In the three countries, compilirg the
data gathered by s gents wbo have
been working up raslness in those
countries for seversl months psst.
"I think I may ssfely predict the
greatest movement in history from
that portion of Northern Europe," he
continued. "Thousands of farmers,
both young men and those with good
sized families are more eager than
ever to leave the old country and seek
their fortunes in the new and promis
ing territory out here, lbeir eye
have teen turned away from the East
and Middle Western States becaoe of
the good work their fellow-countrymen
have been doing in writing back to
the fatherland telling of the abundant
opportunities out here. I need, not em
phasize the fsct that the Scandinavian
race is the thriftiest, most Industrious
and law-abiding class and invariably
make the best class of citizens. Tbey
arealwsys producing factors in any
community.
"I find only one deterrent factor in
the entire situation ai regards the rap
id and extensive colonization of this
territory and that is the excessive val
ues placed on agricutlural lands. The
Swedes snd Norweigans have been ac
customed to buying farms in Minne
sota, the Dskotss snd other Middle
Western sections for about 150 an acre,
and out here the prices run as high as
! 1200 and over for raw land. This Jfact
is holding a great mass of desirable
foreigners from settling in this part of
the country."
In spite of this drawback, Paulson
is confident that the Northwest will
attract many thouesnds ot immigrants
in the next few years.
