railroads. s. @. T. Dodd, the general

commissions, he is understood to re-
ceive $3.50, 1000 year. 1t is, not known

Wagon load OF Honey.

Heppner Times: j. H. Watenburger,
one of the prosperous farmers Of Butter
creek, brought load of honey to Hepp-
ner Tuesday, the value of which was
$26325. He had a wagon load of it,
2106 pounds, most of which was strained
and in half gallon fruit jars and FIVE
gallon cans. He sold it readily at 1873
cents pound, making the value of the
load $263.25. The Butter creek honey
is gathered from the alfalfa blossom
which is considered the most palatable
honey on the market. There are NUM-
ber of apairies on the creek that produce
large quantities of honey but as the
acreage Of alfalfa is increased year by
year SO will the bee industry grow.

GREAT LAND SALES
~ CIaIIf n
OREGON MAKES A RECORD
SHOWING.
Splendid Report Exhibited by the
State on Public Land Entries
Home Seekers Still Coming.

The report for the sale of public lands
for the end of the fiscal year ending
June 2, 1908, shows flattering account
for the state of Oregon.
All records were broken of previous
years, not only in number Of entries,
but also in amount of lands disposed OF
during the IL months prior to June 2.
In all there were 1874 entries made
in Oregon, which entails the occupancy
of 1,844,698 acres. The aggregate
amount OF money derived from the tran
sactions, including fees and commits
sions, amounted to $2,055,230. In 1902
the total reached scarcely one-fourth Of
this enormous sum.
That Oregon is the most attractive
state for settlers is evidenced by the
showing. More than $4,000 entries
means great and permanent growth
to the state. Tne repert filed by the
commissioner exhibits the fact that the
home-seekers who have selected Oregon
as their place Of future abode are Of the
most desirable class. The largest
majority of them register from states
east Of the Mississippi river. From
New England comes large contin-
gent.
1t is believed that the fine showing
made by the Webfoot state will hasten
irrigation plans now outlined, for the
reclalming much desert waste.
1t is shown in the report that settlers
are abundantly satisfied with the agree
ability Of $ oil and climate, and the event
of the record breaking year poTtends
much for the commonwealth Of Oregon.
Reports from other states are not yet
ready for publication and unfortunately
ne com parison can be made by Oregon,
but it is believed that no fairer record
will be shown in the UnisE.

Philippine tariff legislation. He said
that in the last few days eabiegrams
had been received from Governor Taft
strongly urging that the Philippine
tariff bill be enacted and pointing out
that failure on the part of the con-
gress to provide for a lower tariff on
Philippine products would result GER
tainiy in hardships to the people of
the islands and probably 70 recur-
renee of serious disturbances.
Indeed, Governor Taft is of the opin-
ion that the recent outbreaks insti-
gated by bands of ladrones in the
island of Luzon are due largely to
feeling of discomfort that is growing
throughout the Philippines. The con-
Gitions in the islands are said TO be
bordering on distress and the president
in discussing the situation with mem
bers of congress appealed strongly to
them for the enactment of the leg
islation that in the opinion of the ad
ministration, would remedy the pres
ent difficulty Senator Lodge and
other Republican senators are making
an effort to secure the passage of the
tariff bill, but they have little hope of
success.

Especial 70 The HeraId.l

Washington. Feb. 27-The minority
report on the Quarles bill to repeal
the land laws was filed in the senate
today. The report calls especial at
tention TO the provisions of the bill,
stating that While it doubtless is true
that there are many abuses under the
land laws. that fraud has been perpe-
trated and that some corporations and
individuals have profited by such
abuses, yet the same can be said Of
many good laws which should not be
repealed. The report recites the pro-
visions of the various acts sought to
be repealed by the bill and declares
that the interior department has full
authority to determine whether or not
the law is complied with in good faith
by entrymen.
"A table of lands proved up on under
the desert act, made part of the re-
port, shows that the percentage Of
frauds has been reduced to a minimum
and the remedy for frauds existing lies
not in repeating the act but by closer
investigation by the interior depart
ment of individual entries sought to
be passed to patent.
There should be some restrictions in
the timber and stone acts. What is

Washington. Feb. 27.-The National
Republican Editorial association today
adopted the following resolution:
The unbroken prosperity which has
given the country an unparalleled
growth and advancement since the res
toration of Republican rule in 1897. is
complete vindication OF the value and
success of Republican ascendancy. and
the great achievements of the strong,
progressive and brilliant administra-
tions Of Presidents Mckinley and
Roosevelt and the faithful fulfIIment of
Republican pledges constitute the
highest appeal for continued Repub-
ican supremacy
Resolutions also were adopted defn-
ing the object of the association, which
IS ito promote the cooperation of the
Republican editors in the United
states for the advancement of the prin-
clples and policies of the Republican
party and to secure united action for
the education of public sentiment in

hcan creed and as the chart by which
the government should be guided in
dealing with the living and vital ques-
uons which are presented to the Amer
lean people for settlement.
Prior to the adoption of these reso-
Iutions Senators Hanna and Depew
made short addresses. Senator Hams
was enthusiastically received. He said

they could keep well in touch with the

said, with the Ohio idea or the Iowa
idea but the idea of the Republican
party as a whole. The broad Repub-
ican idea, the old policies and the old
tenets of the Republican party have
won notable victories in the past and
they are safe landmarks to guide the
part of the future"
In concluding his remarks Senator
Hanna urged the associa ton to make
their organization a thoroughly nation
al one.
Senator Depew of New York was the
next speaker. He reviewed the anti
trust legislation that has been enacted
at the present session and in concIu-
sion said:
