State Lecturer Holder says it ls a mis-
take to say that crops in the Grass VAL
ley country are complete failure. He
says they are certainly nothing to boast
of but should the weather keep cool for
a little longer, possibly half crop may
be expected.
Hon. Charles W.. Cartwright OF the
Baldwin sheep and land company, Hay
creek, who is at the Umatilla house to-
day, says shipping from the ranch
amounts to about SOC, 900 pounds of wool
this year, and it is moving off at from
121a to Is cents per pound. The grass
on the ranges is beginning to dry up and,
the sheep are all well up into the mount
aims.
Oregon is productive OF many remark
able things, among which may be men
toned trout. Mr.. John Williamson,
who is in the employ OF F. M. Warren
at the Cascades, has taken to Portland
from that place trout three-feet in
length, weighing twelve pounds. This
monster trout was captured in one of
the water wheels at the cascades. Mr..
Williamson says in all his twenty years
experience he has never seen anything
to equal in size or weight the fish that
has been captured.
A jury is occasionally compelled to
close up the mill of justice and quit
grinding in order to attend to more i'm
portant matters. Up at Pendleton a
few days agoa juryman was compelled
to go home and take care of COW and
young calf at his place. The law says
the men must be kept together until
they are discharged by the court. The
judge allowed the juror to go home. but
he was accompanied by the bailiff and
the other eleven men, who stood around
and gave directions rs to how the COW
should be properly nilked-and bet pea
nuts as to how much milk the COW would
give. During this time the case they
were to decide never entered their
minds.
DIR. L. Vanderpool of Dufur, has dis
covered the coming grass OF the Inland
Empire. 1t grows fine, heads out well,
is nutritious, stock like it, and it makes
excellent hay. 1t is thrifty on the dry
est soil, does not require irrigation, and
every way considered. will become bet
ter for the Inland Empire than its
former famous bunch grass. DIR. ".
says it is quite plentiful in patches about
Dcfur. He saved some of the seed last
year, which he carefully planted and
expected to replant next year, but the
man about his place cut it down some
time ago by accident, and the Doctor
was quite disappointed in his anticipa-
tions, but he says it is prolific and will
reassert ITSELF
