The Ingomar to Go Abroad.

The intention of Morton F. Plant, the
well known New York millionaire
sportsman to race his famous schooner
Ingomar abroad next season has
aroused wide interest. This schooner is
the fastest two sticker" in American
waters Last fall she won a long ocean
race off the Atlantic coast in which the
pick of eastern racing schooners was
entered. That she will show well in
foreign waters is a foregone conclu-
sion.
The Ingomar is a Herreshoff built
craft. Captain Charley Barr of Amer
ica's cup fame has been engaged to sail
her. Certainly this is a powerful COM
bination. Barr and Herreshof are
names to conjure with in yachting. and
the result of the Ingomar's invasion of
transatlantic waters will have more
than ordinary significance.

"a sports will soon reign supreme
- A glance back over the events
of the year in football shows
that the new rules have proved bene-
fit Fewer accidents have occurred
and the openness of play has made
football maneuvers far easier of COM
prehension. Then, too the game as
played this season has proved to be
more thoroughly representative of what
football was originally intended to be
than ever before has been the case
Instead of a series of confusing, bone
crushing mass plays in which the ball
at all times is concealed from the spec
tators, the game has now become . test
of individual prowess, an encoura ge-
ment to the development of the partic-
ular powers of each man.
The objections to the new rules raised
in many quarters have not been justi-
fled Certain coaches who claimed that
the game had been emasculated and
the trouble of "unlearning'' old prac-
tees was a needless hardship have now
come to the conclusion that the franz
ers of the regulations were in the right.

The open game has brought center
lays into greater prominence. Natu-
ally as the two ends must be on the
ne during the greater part of the
anne they are missed from the inter
Arence that usually makes end runs a
access. Consequently plays through
enter. guard and tackle have predom-
lated. The lack of end runs was no
iceable in many big contests and de-
racted from their value as spectacles.

pings mixed with sbales were found al
different places.
The first prospetor to become inter
ested in coal mining in the Blue Mour-
tain. was Frank Maddox, pioneer
who opened up prospect about 20 miles
south of Heppner and took out a small
quantity of coal. With crude appliances
and small capital Mr.. Maddox was not
able to get through the crust and en-
counterlng faults finally entirely sbend-
oned his property, and his visions of
wealth from the black diamonds faded
away. The extent of Mr.. Maddock's
prospect WAS never determined. The
coal that be took out was consumed in
Heppner. His nine gradually filed
with water and there it rests today. The
Mstteson brothers, four in number, resi-
dents o. this section were the next pee
pie to become interested in GOAL mining.

fsrmed by few people, the agricultur-
al operations being carried on on large
scale, and farmers haven't the time or
do not care to pay attention rs the detail
of mixed crops. No poultry, eggs,
fruits, or vegetables are shipped from
Morrow county to speak Of. In fact,
there is not enough to supply the home
demand. and these commodities are
shipped in. often bringing fancy prices.
Take for instance, strawberries. Good
strawberries can be grown along any Of
the creeks. and the fancy prices that are
paid for this frui. could be kept at home
The climate is admirably adsd.ed to
poultry raising.
Mixed farming will be success here
and will come with the increase of pop.
ulation, and when the land is divided up

The opening up and development OF

now an assured fact, is looked to with

Morrow county from the Columbia
river southwark for a distance OF about
80 miles to the foot hills of the Blue
Mountains is an open country with only
small amount of timber along the
creeks. The principal timber supply
comes from the Blue Mountains. The
mountains are covered with good
growth of yellow and black pine, spruce,
tamarack and fir which is the great water
reservoir that feeds the numerous creek
that flow through the country on their
way to the Columbia river. Ia the tim
ber belt their are several sawmils that

mand for lumber. II will only be short

mines within the borders of She county.
Tie timber lands are now about al.
taken under the timber and homestead
acts.
The principal streams of the county
are Butter, Rhea and Willow creeks
with their feadars like the branches OF q
tree coming in from their sources in the
canyons among the foot bills.
Good Fruit Country.
Like wheat growing and other lines Of
agriculture, the people here we're under
the impression that this was not fruit
country, bnt this theory has since been
exploded. Apples, prnnes, peaches, april
cots, pears and other fruits grow here to
high state ofperfection. Apples grown
by JAS Neville, of Heppner, which were
placed on exhibition were admired by
people from all sections. Ona of these
apples weighed 22a1 ounces and was
without bemish.
Grain of High Quality.
Wherever exhibited Morrow county
products have com pared favorebly with
ell competition. At the Pau-America q
exposition at Buffalo, New York, Fl We di-
plomas of honorable mention were
awarded Morrow county farmers for
wheat, oats, rye and barley. This hon
or speaks we'll for the county. for this
grain was in competition with grain
from all over the United States. While
the yields are good, it shows that the
quality is of q high standard The
grain from this section always COM

Favorable Climatic Conditions.
No other section in the great Inland
Empire has more favorable climatic
conditions than Morrow. The climate
is sslubrIous and healthful There are
only few days during the summer
that the therm omster reaches 90 degrees
while zero weather is unusual ia winter.
Occasionally there are extremes when
the mercury falls below zero, especially
is high. Outside Of the mountainous
districts the snowfall is not excessive.

Ia a brief summary, Morrow county's
wheat crop for 1902, was worth at the
least calculation, $650,000.
The wool clip vas worth $220,00O.
There are about 225, 900 sheep in the
county valued at $500, 900.
There are about 5000 head OF cattle e

There about 5000 good horses and
probably 1000 range horses, valued at
about $4,000.
And with the thousands Of head Of

fumed soap, the particular scent un-
named. There is evidently a wide di-
vergence of opinion among Senators
about the proper kind of cleansing ma
terial to use on their sacred bodies, for
a dozen varieties are named, all of them
of the most expensive kind.
Mostly "Dry" Goods.
Two hundred tons of the best timothy
hay were bought last year "for the
United States Senate" This was in ad-
dition TO the hay in the whiskers OF
some of the Western delegation. The
report of the secretary does not say
whether the hay was for breakfast food
or for horses.
Not drop Of alcoholic stimulants was
reported on hand by the sergeant-at-
aims. The Senators were probably
wise enough to drink it all up before
they left Washington. Getting away
with all the remaining liquors must have
caused many throbbing heads. for only
one bottle OF bromo seltzer and two bot
ties Of bromo caffeine were saved from
the wreck While on this subject 1t
should be mentioned that the Senators
left behind them 101 small glasses. -
The kind of glasses may be imagined
and their presence in the Capitol will
be sad news for the w. c. T. L.

Sponge baths seem to be regarded by

one dozen bath sponges at so per dozen
were purchased, and also 100 pounds of
other sponges. The report makes no
mention OF the several thousand human
sponges which hang around the Capt.

and others.
What three electric stoves are needed
for In the Senate rooms is a mystery.
Maybe they were used to cook up
schemes for reelection. Let us hope
they were not used to fry the fat out
of some OF the big corporations seeking
privileges.
One Senator can hardly have need to
read advice to mothers on how to make
a handsome plano out of a dry goods box
and a discarded clothes press, so the
reason for his subscribing to the
Ladies Home Journal and charging it
to the Senate contingent fund does not
appear.

bought. Whether they were for some
Senator who had to camp out TO es-
cape persistent constituents. or were for
a new member who tried to make him

certain.
Lemonade Popular.
For the temperance Senators, prob
ably. who passed the bill forbidding
the sale of liquor in the restaurant,
there were bought Two lemonade bowls
and six sugar bowls. This is only a
surmise. as other concoctions than lem
onade have been mixed in a lemonade
bowl. and all the sugar put in sugar
bowls is not put into lemonade.
For the relief of Senators who had
a sinking feeling at the stomach when
they saw their most cherished bin con-
signed TO oblivion. a case of jamaica
ginger waR bought. and eight bottles
remained. An extra liberal supply OF
bay rum was bought. and four gallons
were left.
