will be of interest 1t will be noted
that the soils of Eastern Oregon are
very rich in potash, richer than those
OF the Willamette Valley, but poorer
in phosphoric acid. The lime content
OF the soil east of the mountains is
nearly three times that of the western
area. In view of the exceptionally
good supply of potash, augmented by
an abundance of lime, itappears that
these soils will not wear out first on
the side of potash. The humus per
centage seems to be little lower than
in the humid part of the state, as
would be expected, but, recent investi-
cations indicate that the humus of the
arid regions carry nearly three times
as much nitrogen as those of humid
areas. If this be true of the soils in
this state as of other localities of linn
tied RAINFALL and it doubtless is. there
is actually more nitrogen present in
the Eastern Oregon soils than in those
of Western Oregon.
The soil of Eastern Oregon is pretty
uniform, and what applies to the en-
tire country applies to each section,
hence Prof. Shaw's description of the
soil of Eastern Oregon applies well to

GENERAL TOPOGRAPHY.
Owing to it's situation on the eastern
side of the Cascade range of noun
tains, the surface of the county has a
general slope toward the east. The
long ridges, covered with a heavy
growth of timber, slope gradually
down from the summit of the noun
tains, until they give place to the high,
rolling prairies of Eastern Oregon
The northern portion Of the county
slopes toward the Columbia, which
supplies it's drainage, and is intersect-
ed by numerous creeks, along whose
courses are fertile valleys susceptible
of the highest state of cultivation, and
capable of producing any crop adapt
ed to this latitude. The southern and
eastern portions Of the county are
drained by the Deschutes and
John Day rivers, and the numer-
GUS streams tributary to them.
The general topography of this portion
of the county is high plateaus that

THE GLOBE ROAD.
The Outlook for a Meeting and
 Action.

Quite a large number of the mer- chants of this city. Tempe and Mesa are urging the early call for a meet ing to discuss ways and means for put ting into immediate effect the preliul- mary steps for constructing the road to Globe. For several days past it had been subject of lively interest on the streets and in the business houses of the towns both in this and the Gila valleys.
 F. P. Trott, the well-known civil engineer of this city, in speaking of the matter yesterday, recalled a trip tc survey inspection made some few years since with this road in view, and stated that he made a report to the parties employing him. This re port is now being searched for at Tempe. Mir. Trott says that since making that trip he has become con vineed that a shorter, better route can be selected, and road constructed for very much less money than the amount estimated by him regarding the route he inspected.
 That a meeting will soon be held is assured, the expressed wish of al con- cerned being that an early date may be selected

probably fall to surprisingly low fig

 ures.
 A meeting of the Young Mems Re publican club was held last night for the election of officers and directors The meeting was well attended, was distinguished by enthusiasm and ab- solute harmony. For the first time in the history of the club the election did not involve a contest, for every officer and director was chosen unanimously as follows: The new officers are: President, R. C.. Fowler; first vice president, George Kirkland; sec ond vice-president, L. w.. Coggins; secretary, Thomas J. Barkley; treas urer, H. A. Diehl; sergeant-at-arms, Al Galpin. The directors are: Thomas D. Bennett, A. J. Edwards, T. J. Pres colt, Harry Tritle, Charles H. Pierce, Thomas F1annigan, Will Hill and liar vey J. Lee. Thirteen new members are added to the club, which now, so far as unanimity of purpose is concerned, is on better war footing than ever.
 Lewis Davidson, resident of Kala- mazoo, Mich, has been for some time at the point of death in tent on South First street A day or two ago he was joined by his wife, who arrived here with a very little money. Yes terday morning she came up town to buy some supplies and her husband thought he was strong enough to ac- company her. On their way back to the tent the husband grew so weak that he sat down on the bank Of a ditch His wife sat beside him and when he was rested they went On. On reaching the tent Mrs. Davidson missed her pocketbook. She remem- bered she had it when she was sitting on the bank of the ditch. She also remembered that three Indian women were sitting near by. She hurried back and the Indian women were just going away in the direction of town. She hurried after them and thought she saw one squaw put something in the breast of her dress. She after ward took it out and handed it to one of the other women. Mrs. Davidson came to town and was advised to see Henry Morgan, who went with her on hunt for the women. They were found, but denied having found the pocketbook. They were taken to the county jail and searched, but nothing was found. This was all the money Mrs. Davidson had. She went before the board of supervisors later, stated her case and was given an order for $10.

 The opening day Of the grand lodge is seldom fraught with interest. though the reading of the reports themselves were interesting, showing a phenom- enal growth in both numbers and health and character of membership. The report relating to the formation of Rebekah lodges showed that within a year they had grown from three to ten. decided increase in the softer and more beautiful side of Odd Fellow ship. The election of grand officers and the more important business of the sessicn will be attended to today. The proceedings Of yesterday were fol- lowed last night by a grand ball whi h attracted large crowds from the ad- jacent lodges Of the valley.
