Agriculturist Qlves Plan That Should Oe Used In All Yards Lukevlew, Ore iron, Thar)!), April 24, lOt.'J "FKI2K (lOVKKX M ENT LAMtS" '1 here seems to be an effort on the part of few pe rson. either ignorant ly or otherwise, to discredit the home stead laws, the land subject thereto, nd everything in connection there with. And even The Oregonian is now joining the anvil chorus, as it were, having recently linger te heading "Free tovernn.er . l.a.'.ii" even vent to a labored editorial on the lands "east ot the Cascade Mountain home time since the same journal found much fault with the homestead lawn, but row it seems that the lands subject to entry under the enlarged homestead act are practically worth less, at least in Its opinion. From other sources a directly contrary opinion, both as to the laws and the lands, has been published far and wide. In view of the opinion expressed by The Oregonian, the fact that far more homestead entries are now being made in the Lakeview Land District than ever before in its histcry is snmewhst remarkable. And tne same state of affairs no doubt exists in the Burns District a" well. When the Oreeon Military Road Co. obtained its land grant, every effort was made to avoid timber, and as a consequence such lands at tnat time being worthless, the grant included farming and grazing lands worth but a tew dollars per acre, whereas vast areas of valuable timber could have been much more easily se cured. The vast sage plains of Eastern Oregon arejlikely tcprove equally sur prising in the near future, and the in dividual now erdeavoHng to prevent settlement of the same may be as badly mistaken as were the selectors of the road grant lands. PISOGKESS OF THE PRESS There is already on the market a book describing the recent floods throughout Indiana, and Ohio. The book is made of 350 pages and gener ously illustrated. Hardly before the swollen waters of the flooded rivers receded to normal channels the public is offered a book describing the disas ter with the minutest details. Scarce ly before a correct estimate can be made of the loss of life found in the wake of the tornado the publication of a book describing it is offered the public. Surely this iB an age of speed. News a week old belongs to ancient history and printing preses are run ning this hour to detail the events ot the hour just pa? t, and it makes little diffeience whether the news comes from the desert, the sea, the battle field or the remotest ard most inacces sible corners ot the world, it is gather ed and printed as it happens. When President Lincoln was assassinated the great papers of the country were well contented when they printed a column and thought it an achievement. Now a boon of several hundered pages could be in the hands of the booK agent three days after a similar event. It is a fast age. A few years ago the nation would discuss important news items for weeks, while now they are read and forgotten in a day. Possibly we have reached the limit. We thought ao years sgo, and when a few more years transpire we might in retrospect look at this hour and day and to our-sei-'e say, "how slow and stupid." The progress of man stems cumulative an1 the more he improves the faster he d'ivelops. not only thouwht but time for prepara tion It is true that some of our fore most citizens have been discussing the matter but it takes more than talk : it takes action and concerted effort. The celebration could no doubt be most successfully held under the auspice, of some local organization, either social or fraternal, and it is to be hoped that definite plans for the atfair will be formulated in the near future. High School Notes The eighth grade is rounding up the years work and preparing for the ex amination which commences May 8. The boys who are practicing for the Field Meet at Alturas are arranging for a shower bath after practice. The girls Basset Ball team is now practicing in the open air on the school grounds. Only five more weens of school but there is much work to do and many evening events to be arranged for. The High School Baccalaureate ser mon will be preached at the Auditorium on Sunday evening May 11, by Rev. Schell of the Presbyterian church. Every ore is invited to this union School service. The sixth and seventh grades will give an entertainment in the Auditor ium Friday evening May 2. This will be a splendid program consisting of recitations, music, a fine operetta and a class in club snging. This will make our third entertainment for the year, and all money raised is aDnlied on school furnishings and property. Follwing are some of the school events for the close of the year. One evening with Senior Orations. One evening with School play and pictures. One free concert to be given the last week. A good program by the grades to te given by the grades. One even ing with eighth grade commencement and the regular commencement which will be Thursday evening May 29. All these events will be free except the School play. The ideal location for the hot ltd Is where the land slopes gently to the The place should be well pro from the cold and prevailirg It will be found that the south a building or wall will be a south, tec ted winds, side of very suitable place. The hot bed should be located near the house, and be easy of access. Frequent attention will be necessary in changeable weather, and at ordinary times it is desirable to have it handy for watering and other rare. Howver, it is not best to locate it directly against a building. A uniform temperature is best for the growing plants and on sunny afternoons there is danger of overheating, especially when the plants are small. Hot beds are made of various size according to the needs of the maker. However, it is not unsually desirable to make them more than 4 by 5 feet regulating the capacity ly length. Frames may be made out of either A f . . l . I I . .1 1 one or two men material, out me neav- ier material is recommended where j permanency is desired. The north ' side should be 6 inches higher than the ' south, thus giving a slope toward the sun. This can easily be accomplished! by using 12 inch material for the back and 6 inch for the front. The frame! need not te nailed very securely, as it can be taken apart easily when not in use. When desired for permanent use! the parts may be joined together by j bolts or tennons. i The pit is dug the same size as the I inside t f the frame, or it may be made ' the same sized as the frame and board- i ed up on the inside, but this is not , necessary and adds to the expense. 1 The pit should be dug aDout 2 feet deep THE best suit styles wc have are those which are made for men of any age; not too extreme for the dignified, substantial business man; but smart enough, with just enough snappy detail to please the young fellows whose tastes are not too ex treme. Hart Schaffner (& Marx know, better than any other makers, just, how to design such models; they're clothes that, have all the requirements; perfectly tailored to fit. We'll show you some great values at $25. Some at less; some at more.

If the tariff bill is rushed through substantially as it was prepared by the Ways ai.il Means Committee it is quite possible that Congress will adjourn by July 1. But while the House will very likely pass it quickly, despite the disappoint ment in various quarters over failure to give what is considered sufficient protection, there will probably be a different story to tell in the Senate. In that body the advocates of protec tion for sugar and wool are likely to gather enough democratic support to bumper the programme of the admin istration. That will mean delay, if not disaster for the bill. And then too it is not improbable that tne Presi dent may wish the currency question taken up, and perhaps other important puestions, so that the session may stretch along into October.

Married In Lakeview George Eicleeton and Mrs. Alameda Brown were married yesterday" even ing at the bride's residence on SlaHh street in this city. The Rev. A. F. Simmons, pastor of the Lakeview Bap tint church officiated at the ceremony. Mr. Eccleston is a son of Isaac Eccleston, a farmer and stockman of this valley. He was formerly a resi dent of this section but for the past seven years has been living in Port land, having arrived from that city only last Sunday. His bride has many acquaintances here as well as in the Willow Ranch vicinity where she form erly lived before removing to this city. The many triends of the bride snd groom wish tnem a long, pleasant and prosperous life. Patronize a (rood caune. Darnell'H Hand will give another one of their social dunces next Haturday nlht In the Wizard hull. Two iiurpowu cau be served Ly attendiui; an enjoyable ti ne hud and support u'vlmi the band putting in 18 or 2) inches of manure and 4 to 6 inches of soil. In warmer climates or later in the season 10 or 12 inches of manure will be sufficient. Fresh horse manure Is most satisfac tory for use in hot beds. Manure from horses fed on grain is best, producing the largest amount of heat, but should not be too dense and gives Lest results when mixed with about one-third as much straw or litter. The manure should be fermenting uniformly before being put into the pit. This is accomplished by placing it in a pile and reetackn g it several time3 at intervals o' one or two days, plac ing the exterior on the interior of the new pile In putting the manure into the pit it is jdvbahle to put it in, in layers of 7 or 6 inches, each to be packed he- fore another is put in. It is especially important to pack the manure wtjl around the edges and keep the center a little higher as the manure will settle somewhat the most at the center. The bed is then ready for the soil which chould be from 4 to 6 inchts in depth, depending upon the crops to be grown and should bo quite rich and contain a large amount of sand and humus. The outside of the frame should be tanked with soil or manure, and a bed thus made should give heat for 6 or 7 weeks. The s eds should not be planter! at once as the fermen tation of manure may be very vigorous for a few days producing too hijjh a heat, and tht n the delay gives the weed seeds a chance to germinate which is quite desirable. Kake ar.d stir the soil before sowing. Sow in rows 4 to 6 inches apart. Glass is very desirable but not ab solutely necessary for covering hot beds. Unbleached muslin will answer the purpose. Hot Beds need watering occat-ionaly and i-hould be covered up cold night.-). On bright days the cover should be remuved, care Deing taken not to leave it off too late in the evening. A hot bed prepared in this way Ib in expensive and should be found on every farm and may also be made in every city house yard. The season for ve getables is thus lengthened a few months, and the vegetables are avail able early in the spring just when they always taste best. Lettuce and radishes are tavorite hot bed crops but many others can easily be grown. J. C. LEEDY.

Iln Oatman, aged CO years. The warm weather is bringing the snow out of the mountains and Silver Creek is Lank fell. From present ap pearances there will be an abundance of water this summer. Tuesday morning as l.es Duncan with four horse team and hay rack was driving up Chrisman xtrcet the rack caught on a telephone wire which wiis swinging very low, and pulled It down. In some way the near leader rot tangled in the strccthcra snd fell down. The breast straps oit the wicil horses IihcI to oe cut Lefore he could get up. The borne was scratched cuosiderubly but not seriously hurt. During the pant weik William Kit tredege has been doing some business. He has a contract with ChMrley Pitcher for :il)0 tonu ot hay to be cut and put up the coining summer. And with P. A. Gruher foi J(K) tons. Thu price is $1 per ton in the stack. Kittredgu has the privilege of the pasture after the hay is stacked. He has also rented II. N. Petcreon's plsces for two years, there are known aa the Alex. Baxter place and the SO field south. One of the largest cattle deals to take place in this country for somu time was consummated taut Saturday when Charley Pitcher delivered UCM head of cattle to the Jameson brothers. The price was SID per head, and everything torn before Jaunarv 1st 1913, were counted. This is the highest price ever paid for a bunch of mixed cattle In this county. While it is a good thing for the stockmen it makes the price of meat to the consumer, after mostly of cows ' udding a profit for two or three middle men, almost prohibitive. Frank and William Jameson started the cattle to Klamath Marsh Sunday. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR HALF :i2( aero college limd. TI.eWK of NW'i, HV'l4' of Hec. (1.
