Klamath Falls—To reclaim 15,000
acres of land in the Wood River valley,
a levee 24 mileB in length is being
built by Senator Abner Weed, of Sis­
kiyou, Cal. The work is about half
finished.
Senator Weed owns 15,000 acres of
land in the valley between the mouth
of Wood river and the mouth of Seven-
mile creek, and this levee along the
lake shore is to protect these large
holdings from the lake overflow in the
wet seasons. This land of the sena­
tor’s is| some of the best in this valley
for hay and grazing purposes. The
levae will serve as an embankment to
keep the water from overflowing the
land and the ditch will serve as a drain
for the wet land lying along it.

"Undoubtedly the normal scho-
Monmouth will be the only one i

the legislature made no appropri
for other schools. The board ol
gents has no power to dispose oi
mal school property, and I suppoaj
schools at Drain, Ashland and wj
will (remain idle. The meeting/
board is subject to call of the

visable to call a meeting until
time in January, when all the

Lafayette — Millard 0 . Lownsdale,
pioneer orchardist of Oregon, and
founder of the great apple growing in­
dustry in the Northwest, haB retired
from active life. He has sold his 300-
acre orchard near Layfayette to a com­
pany of Michigan capitalists. Al­
though Mr. Lownsdale is silent as to
the financial consideration which the
deal involves, it is understood that the
purchase price is close to $300,000.
Mr. Lownsdale was virtually the
pioneer of all latter-day apple growers
in the Willamette valley. When he
planted his orchard 21 years ago apple
growing was almost a lost art. The
possibility of growing apples often had
been denied, even the pioneers of the
valley having concluded that it w h s not
possible to produce the wonderful re­
sults that had given the valley a
great reputation before the fruit pests
appeared.
The work of Mr. Lownsdale has re­
established the apple growing industry
in the great valley reaching from Port­
land to Eugene. His orchard has been
a material demonstration of his ideas,
this year crowning his success with a
record production of 75,000 boxes.
Mr. Lownsdale has in mind the es­
tablishment of a market for handling
the fruit of this ¡region, and hopes to
perfect the organization of a Willam­
ette Valley^Fruit Growers’ association,
the object being to provide a common
channel for the output.
Chicago — “ Bright Star,” a Short­
horn cow brought to the International
Livestock exhibition by W. O. Minor,
of Heppner, Or., was sold for $700.
The animal is 2 years old. Mr.
Minor has secured top prices for all the
breed animals he brought to the show,
besides winning several prizes with
them.
W. A. Forbes, of Sacramento, Cal.,
is attending the show, with the inten­
tion of buying 300 dairy cattle to take
back to his California farm. He is
the proprietor of one of the largest
dairies on the Coast.
