2.251 last week and 1852 in the same week last
year. Calf receipts. this week total about $50
against J57 last week and 300 in the correspond
ing week last year. There has been a strong
cattle hero this week and prices are ruling
strong with the close of the week previous, IN
the face of slight declines elsew here. Arrivals
have included few lunches of pretty desirable
beef cattle. hut very little that was really good.
Tie demand has far exceeded the supply. All
steady prices. Bulls sold steady all week. The
veal calf trade has ruled strong to Zoe higher.
Stocker and feeder trade has had very strong
ln'lertone and the week closed with prices bav
ing advanced 1oc to 15c all grades excepting
common steer calves which have continued
of milchers AMI sprtngers has been slight and
the better grades have advanced about So in
value. Other grades are selling steady.
Hogs-Receipts. of hogs here this week total
about Il $500, compared with 1876 in the pre-
viels week and 1855 In the corresponding week
of last year. The more favorable weather caused
heavier marketing east the fore part of the

day. when values reacted a good dime &c
lower market Friday would leave values BIZ;
dime lower than at the close of last week provid-
ing no ma terial changes occur late to-day. Quail

$3.50. with top of $40.
Sheep-Loca1 sheep receipts this total
about 1O.1O0 against II .27 last week and II i'll
in the same week last year. Early in the week
prices showed some strength and mutton grades
closed the week at firm prices. A sharp slump In
lamb values caused the local market to decline
somewhat in sympathy, though prices here are
only about 10c to 15c lower than at last week 9

Throughout this region are few

mentioned Tub Springs. Well Springs,
Sand Syringe, and others.
In our opinion there is no more favor
able location in the West for procuring
an abundance of artesian water than in
this section. Were the Government to
take hold Of The enterprise and make
successful test. it would no doubt induce
hundreds Of settlers to rush into this
part Of the country and bore wells at
their own expense.

Committee Report.

The following report of the committed
appointed from Morrow county, hal
been submitted to the G Columbia Rive
Irrigation Association.
TO the Columbia River Irrigation AS
sociation:
We, your committee, who was assign.
ed the duty of ascertainng and sub.
mitting plans and suggestions for ir.
rigating the ard lands of Morrow Coun.
ty, Oregon, beg leave to su bmit the
following report -
Morrow County contains a solid area
of arid land, embracing some twelve
townships, and extending Southwark
from the Columbia river to an average
distance of eighteen miles. The i'm.
mense tract slopes gradually to the
North and West, and is admirably
situated for irrigation purposes. OF
these twelve townships fully three
fourths of the land yet belongs to the
government, and at least 100, 900 acres
of it can be reclaimed by irrigation.
This vast stretch Of country contains
but little settlement, yet the deep, rich
soil could be made highly productive
under irrigation. This tract has an
elevation of from 240 feet at the CoIum-
bia river to about $50 feet along the
South boundary. 1t is now covered
with sage brugh and will produce moth
ing without water.
This committee would suggest two
plans for irrigating this land, viz:
lst. To conduct water thereon from
the Umatilla river, by means of large
ditch, the ditch to begin at, or near, the
Town of Echo, in Umatlla County, and
to run through a portion of Umatila
County, fiume the water across Lower
Butter Greek and run the ditch across
Morrow County from East to West.
This plan is entirely feasible and
practicable.
The Umatlla river does not contain
enough water throughout the dry
summer season to supply this ditch
therefore, it will be necessary to es-
tablish reservoirs, or storage vaults, and
fill them with the water from the rlyer
during the winter and spring seasons.
Various small bitches could be con-
structed leading from the main canal
and during the wet season all Of This |
and could be thoroughly flooded. 1t
would thus require less water from the
in the dry season to keep the
ground sufficiently moist to produce
,rops. Throughout this vast area are
many natural reservoir sites which
should be utilized with but little ex-
1ense.
2nd. We also invite investigation o.
If this region as location for Govern.
nent irrigation under the artesian we'll
ystem. There are here numerous
evidences that artesian water can easily
)e procured. Just across the Columbi
liver, on the Washington side, COM
'any has been boring for oil, and at a
epth of only one hundred and forty
cur feet large vein of artesian water
'as struck, and the WE'LL even with its
riginal tubing, shot water over three
7et above the surface of the ground.
Experts claim that this well, if proper
Y tubed, could be made to throw the
rtesian water to height of 40 feet

ED. GAZETTE 1t is raining today,
and | am out of a job so look out. This
is a city of about Is, 900 souls Il guess,
since there are no saloons here.) There
are several news dealers, but strange to
say, no. one of them keep the Heppner
papers on safe, so please place me on
your subscription list. This is a pleasant t
climate to live IN if one bad something
else to do. The leading industry here
is Fishing (for suckers), the principal
stock in trade is good climate. Ask
any one you meet a question, the usual
answer is, don't know, am a stranger
here.
We left Portland January 7th, on one
of the Southern Pacifc's fine observa
ton cars, passing up through the Will
lamette Valley, we awOke the morning
the Shasta Springs, an ideal summer
resort near the foot of Mt. Shasta. Con-
tinuing down the Sacramento valley
passing many large wheat fields, grain
four to six inches high and millions of
geese on either side almost in gun shot
of the cars arriving at San Francisco
about dark, we spent two days here verv
pleasantly at the parks, Cliff House and
museums. Then to San Jose.
We visited The Alum Rock Springs,
San Jose's principal attraction, named
from large rock resembling alum. We
drank seven kinds of mineral water,
some hot, some cold, in three hundred
yards. Three of them soda, megnesia
and sulphur coming out of rock not
six inches apart. Here also we saw
large blueish rock weighing many tons,
said to be a meteor. The following day
we saw the big trees 27 miles from San
Jose, and they are big trees sure, one
little larger than the others is q feet
through and 30S feet high and the top
broken out at that. Then to Santa
Cruz for the afternoon and night. Next
to Santa Barbara to see the old mission
built about III years ago, yet in good
state of preservation, the surroundings
Of large palms, eucalyptus and other
