nurserymen, and improved live

ing an orchard, and adding good
stock to their bands. Many who
have raised wheat, alone, are pre-
pairing to plant an orchard, buy
some good cattle and hogs and
raise enough vegetables to carry
them through the following year.
The Grande Ronde valley is far
famed for its fine stock and fertile
lands. It is also forging to the
front as fruit-raising center, and
the people who realize the import
ance of offering inducements to in

tiful. There is no other country in

ducements for those who desire

A WANING INSTITUTION.
Should the State Longer Tax the Peo-
ple for the State Fair?

Pile tor the state FAR?
To an observing person, says the
Oregon City Enterprise, it cannot
but be seen that the Oregon state
fair is in its decline. Each year,
in spite Of the best efforts Of the
management, the exhibit and at
tendance become smaller until it is
no longer an industrial or financial
success. The era for fairs all over
the United States seems to be past.
The worlds fair was the culmina-
ton Of the spirit of rivalry and
pride that goes to sustain fairs, and
since the close of that greatest of
all efforts the interest in the small
local fairs has steadily decreased.
From the best information obtain.
able there has not been a fair in
the United States this year that has
been the success and equalled the
interest that such fairs in former
years maintained.
The American people are a quick,
emotional people, and they soon
tire of diversion and want some-
thing new, Baseball and several
other fads have had their day, and
the farm and factory exhibits hav-
ing ceased to be drawing card,
horse racing was made to be a lead
ing feature of the modern fair; yet
that now is ceasing to draw. The
racing feature has dwindled into a
gambling device, in which the fast
est horse seldom wins, and the evil
efforts of the poolroom and its at
! tendant crowd Of disreputable and
! dishonest toughs has driven decent
people away from the races.
With the failure of the state fair
to accomplish the object for which
it was established, the $4,000 given
to it by the state each year is vast
ed. This, with the amount given
to the district fairs, making total
| of $4,000 year that the taxpay'
l ers have to dig up, and the return
( they receive for this hard-earned
money is very small indeed, Il
would be far better and be of more
advantage to the agricultural and
manufacturing interests of the state
if this $4,000 was expended on the
highways each year.

Fight With a Bear

P. H. Roberts, ofScoggins valley,
had an experience last Monday,
which he is apt to remember for
some time. His brother had shot
at bear and broken its forearm,
but the animal got away. Mr..
Roberts heard about it and took up
the chase, overE auling the bear af-
ter fourteen mile chase. Fifteen
times the bear turned on him, and
once he struck it in the back with
an ak, but did not disable it.
When they reached Sain creek, man
and bear clinched, rolling over
at the waters edge, the man on top
about two-thirds of the time. The
bear set his teeth through one arm
ami disabled it, and the man was
just fainting from a powerful blow
on the side of the head, but he
rallied for one more cut at the beal
and the animal decided to call it {
draw, and retreated. Nothing has
been seen Of the bear, but the blooc
and imprints in the soft earth 0
the creek bank showed the hun
ters what the struggle was.

Hon. w. r. Ellis, one of 0regon's
congressman, was registered at the
State hotel last Sunday, says the
Walla Walla Gazette. While Mr..
Ellis was known as the best look
ing man in congress and deserved
the reputation, and while he is in
perfect health otherwise, he yet
suffers from the effect of an accident
three years ago, when his leg was
badly broken. The injured memb-
er occasionally bothers him a great
deal, and he was lately undergoing
treatment at the Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland. After hav-
ing left the hospital he went to
Pendleton, where Mrs. Ellis was
stopping, and they concluded to
visit old friends in Walla WaIla
before returning to Heppner.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING,
The Farmers of the Famous Grande
Ronde Taking up Modern Ideas.

The Farmers of the Famous Grande
7onde Taking up Modern Ideas.
The farmers over in the Grande
Ronde have quit trusting to luck
and wheat for a livelihood, and
propose to diversity the production
Of their farms. They are now on
the right road.
If there is one thing more than
another that makes q country pros
perous it is diversified farming
says the Chronicle. The Grande
Ronde valley has been sadly neg
lected in that particular, and the
farmers have just begun to realize
the fact. Those who stick to wheat
alone are no better off today than
they were when they located here,
while the very few, who have tried
diversity of products, are nicely
on their feet, SO to speak, and the
future promises very bright for
them. However, the year 1895
has been of great and lasting benz
eft to the farmers Of this valley as
ii has thoroughly convinced them
that one-product farms do not pay
as handsomely as do the farms up
on which q diversity Of products
are grown. One can look for a rev.
olution in the farming industry Of
the valley. Already numerous
! farmers are communicating with

A New Forage Plant Grown in the Pal.
ouse Country.


ouse Country.
One of the interesting exhibits at
the Spokane fair, from Latah coun-
ty, Idaho, was bronze grass, or Rus
sian forage grass, which is being
extensively cultivated, in that sec
ton with splendid results The
Latin name for the grass is Bromus
iner musar, and the first seed sown
in Latah county was imported di.
rect from Russia. The Latah coun-
ty farmers soon abbreviated the
name to Bronze" and it is, there,
fore, sometimes improperly called
"broom grass" by persons unfam-
iliar with it.
John P. Mix, one of the gentle
men in charge of the Latah county
exhibit, says the introduction of
Bronze grass has solved the ques-
tion Of pdsturage in the Palouse
country, question which has long
confronted the farmers of that
country.
"This grass has found lis true
home in the Palouse country" says
Mr.. Mix to a Spokane Review re-
porter, ''and it is the finest pasture
grass that grows. The grass was
introduced into Latah county six
years ago, by ]. G. Reumens, who
sent to Russia for the seed. He
sowed it with alfalfa, which it
crowded out. Bronze grass grows
as high as timothy, and has more
foliage, and it forms a sod like Ken
tucky blue grass. 1t is as green in
August as in June. It has been
tested for producing milk, and
found to yield more milk than
orchard grass or alfalfa. 1t requires
about Is pounds of seed pei
acre to produce good pasture the
first year it is sown. 1t is claimed
that it will pasture five head Of
cattle to the acre, and it is the best
hog pasture in the world. M. ]
Shields, of Moscow, sowed 80 acres
of it, and says the seed is worth'$1 8
pound to any farmer who wants a
good pasture. The grass is spread
ing all over our section of the coun
try, and the seed can now be pur
chased as low as 25 cents a pound
Orders for seed have been received
from as far away as North Dakotf
and Nevada. Farmers who woulc
like to try it can procure seed from
either Mr.. Shields or +, G. Nolan
of Moscow, both Of whom are nov
growing it extensively. In m,
opinion bronze grass is the COMING
pasturage of this country"

A Romantic Marriage. /.

The Elgin Recorder tells of a
rather romantic marriage which
occurred at Union Wednesday,
when Mr.. Walter Watson, promi-
nent young man of Wallowa
county, and Miss e. Wagness, late
of England were joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock. The bride ar
rived at La Grande Monday even
ing, direct from England, and had
never seen her intended husband,
the courtihg having been donc by
letter. Mr., Watson went up to La
Grande and both parties being sat-
isfied with each others appearance
they proceeded to Union Wednes-
day and were married. The new
ly wed 1ed couple returned on their
way to their Wallowa county home.

stances there is not much oppor-
tunity to pass any law, as it must

"How about financial legisla-

"What do you think of the res

tion?"

ceiving calls from a number Of
Walla Walla friends at the State

one of the First Repeaters

Commissary General Dunno, on
his recent tour of inspection Of the
Oregon National Guard, secured in
Eastern Oregon an old rifle which
he considers the father Of the pres
ent repeating rifles. The rifle bears
the name Of Porter, Of New York
city, as the patentee, and 1851 as
the year Of its manufacture. 1t has
a revolving cylinder, like that of
the present revolver, with nine
chambers. 1t was made for pow
der and ball, and there was place
at the side for a percussion cap,
which was struck by the hammer
when the trigger was pulled. After
a shot was fred the next chamber
was turned by touching lever.

A Dead Beat.

The editor of the Walla Walla
Statesman mourneth thusly:
"a we'll known attorney recently
introduced US to, as q good news
paper man, fellow whose appear
ance indicated hard times, in fact
he was "down at the heel like
Whitechapel bird catcher" We
gave him a job at $45 per month on
the strength of his introduction,
took him to a restaurant and told
the proprietor to give him all he
could eat, gave him an order for q
complete outfit from shoes to hat
and he appeared respectable. AS
we had to leave home for couple
Of days we gave him instructions to
do the best he could in newspaper
work. On our return we found
him getting over a lager beer booze,
not having done a thing since we
left. He was advised to get and
be mighty quick about it, and he
got, but not before he had stolen q
pistol belonging to his friend who
had introduced him. He went
over to Vansycle and climbing on q
wagon the pistol went off and shot
him through the hand. 1t is a
pity it did not kill him for he is a
hobo and nothing else. Has papers
from military men, says he was
private secretary to General Sheri-
dan, but he is a dead beat. He is now
in Eastern Oregon"
