Cheap Lands.

Rents for Umatilla reservation lands
have materially decreased since last
year. Prices per acre formerly ranged
from 81 to S1.50. This year they are
so cents to 81 for the same lands.
Many ranches have leased lands at a
maximum of 65 cents per acre. Al
though the land goes slowly, Mr..
Pierce thinks all available will be
rented before the close of the present
season. At prices now ruling farmers
can lease lands for wheat raising at
cheaper prices than would be repre-
sented by interest and taxes on land
at nominal rates.

sides in Marion County.
Perhaps the Oldest man in Marion
county or in the western section of
Oregon, says the Salem Statesman, is
John Durbin, who resides with his son
Solomon just east of Salem. The hale
old man will be 101 years old this fall.
He was born near Brownsville, Fayette
county, Pa, September 13, 1874, and
in 1900 moved with the family to Rich
mond county, Ohio, where he was mar
ried in 1920 to Sarah Fitting. They

Earnings in Common.

From a resident of Dufur we learn
that new organization has been
started in our neighboring burg. The
only kind of an organization that can
possibly do the work that is aimed at
by all reform organizations. The
principles of the new lodge are all
pointed at equality of all men, and this
is secured by bonds and oaths that
make all members come in every Sat-
urday night and put their earnings in
common spot" then dividend is
declared, and every member gets his
proportion whether he works or not.
The main difficulty in Dufur has been
that men join and then quit work. So
far has this feature gone that twenty
five members divided forty cents last
meeting.

WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
April 8, 1895.

In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
April 8, 1895.
Weather-From 10 to so of precipi-
tation occurred during the past week.
AS in Western Oregon, snow fell on
the 4th. The maximum temperatures
ranged from 46 to IA degrees in the
Columbia river valley and from "a to
81 degrees to the south thereof. The
minimum temperatures ranged from 80
to 4S degrees in the valley and from
% to 35 degrees to the south. Frosts
were general and heavy on the 9Th and
9Th. On the I'd heavy gale occurred
in the northeast counties doing slight
damage to insecure buildings and rails
ing dense cloud of dust. Since Fri
day warmer and fair weather has pre-
vailed.
Crops-No damage is reported from
frost, though some are of the opinion
that damage was done, but it is impos-.
sible to state at this writing the
amount or if any real damage resulted.
Lettuce, radishes, onions and aspara-
gus of local growth are in the market
at The Dalles. The soil is very dry
and not in fit condition to be worked,
yet farmers are pushing their spring
plowing and seeding. Fall-sown grain
is growing, but would be improved by
rain and warm weather with less wind.
Some Resolving is necessary in por--
tions of Umatilla county owing to win
ter freeze-outs. Lambing continues
with large percentage of lambs
saved; larger percentage than usual in
fact. The fruit trees are blooming in
the immediate Columbia river valley,
but to the south no bloom yet appears
though the buds are swelling. Cen
eral rain will be necessary to the sue
cessful growth of the cereal crop, from
now until July 1st.
APRIL IN PAST YEARS.
In 1887, general frosts occurred in
Oregon as late as the 18th; rainfall
was excessive; ground wet and spring
late; warm, dry weather began May
18th, and the warmest day on record
was the 10Th. In 1888, April was dry
and warm. Damaging frosts occurred
until the 9Th. Strawberries were ripe
on the 25th; new potatoes dug on 30th.
April 1889 was dry. and warm and
early. April 1890 was cold and rainy,
and vegetation backward. Peaches |
were slightly damaged by frosts on
11th and 18th. April 1891 was normal;
vegetation late but healthy and prom
ising. April 1892 had frosts to the
Goth; season late; fruit trees bloomed
by the 18th, except in the Columbia
river valley. April 1893 was cold and
wet with frequent frosts and snow in
the stock country. April 1894 had
normal temperature, but deficient
rainfall; frosts did some damage on
18th and 17th. Fruit was in bloom by
the 10TH B. S, PAGUE. Director

George III. Eldridge, Z noted GO
ologist in the Government employ
who visited this region last fall in 1
hssty trip through Idaho, "author
lied as a preliminary to the future
geologic study of the State" has
just had published by the Govern
ment printing Office an account Of
his experiences and Investigations,
entitled "A Geological Reconnois.
sance Across Idaho"
It is one Of that rare class Of
really interesting and instructive
printed works issued by the Gov
eminent, and contains q good map
Of the state and maps of the vari-
GUS mining regions and districts
Wood River among them-through
which he passed; all compiled from
latest atlas sheets of the geological
survey and maps of tae general
land Office.
Fossil plant remains, mollusks
and eruptives have been duly iden-
tilted by the leading government
specialists, and chemical analyses
made in the geological laboratory.
The general topography, drainage
systems. glacial action, formations,
eruptions. ETC., are intelligently
noted in plain, readable manner.
Much space is devoted to Wood
River and the Ketchum vicinity,
and to the adjacent Atlanta, Rocky
Bar, Sheep Mountain, Yellow Jacket
and other localities, which makes
the work peculiarly interesting to
our readers. Copies can be OBJ
tanned from the Director of the &C.
illogical Survey, Washington, D. G.
1t is the evident intent of the
geological department to inaugu.
rate the study of our state geology
in detail at an early day, as Mr..
Eldridge writes one of our towns
men that he expects to be in this
vicinity next season, probably in
supervision Of several corps of ge-
ologists. He will spend the winter
at work on the phosphate lands,
etc., of Florida.
