A Newcomers Opinion.

We reprint the following from
a letter written to the Lyons,
Neb., Sun, by N. P. Peterson,
of this city, under date of No
vember IS, 1901:
We came here GA six
months probation, but we may
invest before that-all the hills
you saw are now perfectly green.
Grass where allowed to grow is 6
to 8 inches tall. Weather the
finest we ever saw, no frost and
climate seems perfect. The
rainy season has not commenced
yet, but we expect some very
rainy weather for the next three
months and perhaps a little snow
for half day OF SO at a time.
We looked at a farm of 1872 acres
a few days agony wife wants
to buy it-one mile from town,
across the Willamette river; $22.-
SO per acre, IS acres in cultiva-
ton and 48 in pasture and big
timber. This is a very produc-
tive farm, on main road and but
geo feet from the river. Part of
the land is clay and part sandy
loan. It is now owned by
man from Cas S county, Nebraska,
who came here thirteen years
ago with nothing, but poor
health. He now OWNS other
property besides this farm. He
is over 80 years Of age. .
If any one writes me for fur-f
ther information l will answer
them to the best of my ability
and send them a pamphlet Q.

Irrigation Id Oregon.

H. L. Holgate, whose home is
in this city, but who is now en-
ployed in the census department
at Washington, D. c., COM
merted recently through the Eu-
gene Register on letter written
by Consul H. B. Miller on the
subject of irrigation. Mr.. Hol-
gate says, in part:
The money expended in Ore
gon in building irrigation canals
and bitches amounts to a much
larger sum than is generally sup
posed, but there has been no
general plan followed and the
methods of distribution are com
paratively crude. AS yet, con-
tests over water-rights have
been few, but as the practice OF
irrigation increases and water be-
comes more valuable, disputes
between conflicting interests will
make business for many lawyers,
unless the state itself takes
charge Of the water supply after

ton. In fact, all matters relat-
ing to farm animals will be dis
cussed.
The continuous cropping Of
wheat, loss of fertility of Oregon
soils, rotation of crops, tillage
and drainage and their effects On
the sell will be treated.
A series OF talks aud lectures
will be given illustrated by ex-
periments dealing with the re.
lations of chemistry to agricul-
ture. Under the head Of "Agri.
cultural Chemistry" will be dis.
cussed in a most able manner the
various relations of chemistry te
agriculture in its broadest sense.
Practical work in making but
ter and cheese in the college
creamery will occupy two hours
eacfs1ay. Use of Babcock test
as ssasis of payment for milk
received at c1eameries and cheese
factories, and as means of weed
ing out poor cows on the farm
will be taught. Work in up-to.
date creamery accounting will bt
given. Also lectures on variou:
phases of the subject.
Horticulture, bacteriologv, in.
sect pests and plant diseases, ths
vegetable and flower garden
will all be subjects OF discussion
during this course and no farme

nifty for acquiring knowledge
that will aid him in his future
efforts.

Corner 3rd and Monroe SITS.

A winter trip to Southern California
and Arizona via the famous Shasta Route
is one never to be forgotten. Renewed
acquaintance with this section will ever
develop fresh points of interest and ad-
ded sources of enjoyment under its sun
ny skies, in the variety OF interests and
added industries, in its prolific vegetation
and among its numberless resorts of
mountain, shore, valley and plain. Two
trains leave Portland daily, morning and
evening for California. These trains are
equipped with the most improved pat
tern of standard and tourist sleeping
cars, and the low rates place the trip in
reach of all. For illustrated guides of
California and. Arizona winter resorts,

the manner of Wyoming, whose
law on the subject is a model of
simplicity and effectiveness.
Millions of dollars have been
expended in Californiaon water
right litigation.
The subject of irrigation will
some time interest Willamette
Valley, Notwithstanding its heavy
winter rainfall. As the popula-
ton increases and markets de-
velop, the valley will be dotted
with truck farms, the quality
and yield OF whose products can
be increased by summer irriga-
ton. Even now a number of
thrifty farmers find the artificial
application OF water profitable in
the growing Of onions and other
vegetables, and smaller fruits.
Mr.. Miller is a far-seeing and
very practical gentleman. His
successful efforts in behalf of
horticultural Oregon are we'll
known and doubtless his letter
will awaken a more general in
terest in the subject Of irrigation.
The law makers of Oregon can
do the state no greater service
than in providing clear and cer-
tain laws for the equitable con-
troll and distribution of waters
usable for power, mining and ir-
rigation.

While on the way to the state
penitentiary few days ago, Charles
Rose, sent up for two years, told
Sheriff Burnett that he was mar

that the name he had caused to be
engraved in a watch he had
stolen was the name of his wife.
"Mrs. A. T. Rose" was the name
engraved. Sheriff Burnett does
not place much credit in what he
said. Rose stated that when he
reached the pen he intended to try
and be placed in the machinists'
department so that he could learn
the trade.

has comfortable and commodious
quarters IN the Fourth ward build

not be disturbed. If quarters must
be secured away from the building for
any grades, let it be for some of the
lower grades, 1t will be less harmful
to the school interests.

The Birmingham Baseball Association has closed contract with Frank Haller of Allegheny, Pa., to manage the Iron Barons next season.

 The new manager will come south early in the spring and will bring several play CTS with him. He Is said to have secured two crack pitchers and hard-hitting catcher. Until Haller arrives it will not be definitely known how many members of the old team will be retained. Pitchers Wilhelm and Lipp have been signed and Sam LaRocque will guard the initial cor ner of the diamond when the season be- gins.
 All of the old team have been re- probably be signed. Members of the local association say they will certainly have winning team next year, and when the returns are all in at the end of the sea- son they expect to make a much better showing than in 1901.

PRISONER DISCHARGED. Adrian E. Kennedy, Who Killed Will. Ham w. McGehee, Set Free.

Columbus. Ga., October 4.-(Special)- The preliminary trial of Adrian E. Ken ney, who shot and killed Vim. w. McGe- hee of Opelika Tuesday morning. oc- cured this afternoon before Justice Len 'nard. The prisoner was discharged, the testimony being such that, in the mind of the Investigating magistrate, the de- fendant believed that he was in great bodily danger at the time and shot to prevent being killed.
 McGehee had cursed the other because he would not extend him further credit at his store, and had started on him with the avowed purpose of killing him, when Kenney shot him.
 In the preliminary trial 1t was strongly urged that the killing was unnecessary, Kenney being in no real danger. but the lawyers for the defense pressed the point that he was at least in seeming danger. kse
