ing about the first week in March.
nearly every one had two lambs and
only two died out of 200 head. The
great secret here in raising lambs is
not to have them until March when
the young white and red clover comes
out. There are many experimental
farmers who read eastern agriculture
al papers which say early lambs are
the best While this may apply east
where spring lambs are in demand at
a high price it is different here, for
"early' lambs mean that if a eve
has two as is their custom hereabouts
grass is short so you have to knock
one on the head to raise the other
But with a eve with big udders full
of milk it is fun for them to raise
both.
Your readers will naturally ask,
why, with a country possessing so
many advantages, it has not been set
lied years ago? I'll tell YOU why.
About 80 years ago the state of Ore
gon granted the greater part of this
country to wagon road company to
build a road from Corvallis to Yaquina
bay. 1t finally fell into the possession
of a very few men who held on to II
merely paying taxes. Then during
the railroad building era a company
promoted the Oregon Pacific road,
paid about $4,000 for the land, mort
gagged it in London and Paris for
81, 100000 and built the road, opened
Yaquina bay as sea port, the gov
eminent spending two or three mil
lion dollars and making a harbor to
which ships can now enter drawing
20 feet at high tide. But it did not
pay, Portland and San Francisco
showing every obstacle in the way Of
trade and the road went busted and
into the hands of receivers, in fact
for a few years it ran itself. After
awhile the mortgages abroad got
tired. the originals having died, the
land was year or so ago sold for
taxes and title being given it was
bought by the company that now
owns it. In consequence immigration
is coming in as the advantages of the
country are being made known.
Where but a few months ago the
bottoms and side hills were covered
with brush and small timber may now
be seen happy homes with orchards
set out, gardens blooming, hives OF
bees every where and above all a
happy contented people and from
about the poorest, Lincoln county is
becoming one of the most prosperous
in Oregon. F. J. PARKER.

Two informations then renamed

tered pleas of guilty.
Pinschower pleaded guilty to the
information that charged Levy with
renting and him with managing the
property on August 10. and Levy
pleaded guilty 20 the information that
accused him OF renting and PinschoW-
er with anaging the property the
following day. Within a short time
Levy and PinschoWer will be asked

mains against each Of them.

Editor Statesman:
In these days Of vast irrigation en-
terprses it would naturally be
thought that a country where irriga-
lion is unnecessary and almost I'M
heard of would not be asking for in
iustrious immigrants. Yet that is the
situation with Lincoln county, Ore
gon. Embracing as it does the Pacific
ocean on the west for many miles
north and SOUTH and taking in the
Coast range to the Willamette val
ley, there are thousands upon thou
sands of acres Of the finest soi1 in
the world. we'll timbered, where ever
lasting springs abound, creeks and
rivers prolific with trout and salmon
and deer numerous in the hills I'M
known to the outside world and very
sparsely settled.
The soil is good to the tops of the
hills and is of a sandy loan which
yields immense crops Of oats, rye,
barley wheat, timothy and especially
red clover which often cuts from four
10 five tons per acre. This year on
Bear creek a tributary of Big Elk
river, oats when threshed yielded so
bushels to the acre. The finest flaw
ored apples in the world grow here
and strange to say the insect pests
like Goblin moth are unknown and an
apple with a worm inside | never yet
found. In fact the settlers say they
will give a big dollar to any one who
finds a wormy enc. Therefore the en-
nense attendant upon orchards else

known. Now understand the country
as a general thing is not ready for
the plough as il other sections east
of the Cascades but has to be cleared.
There are hundreds Of acres of rich
bottom lands covered with vine ma
pie, cherry, hazel, etc. This is cut
down in the fall and winter, piled up
in winrows burned the following
summer and then sowed with timothy
and clover, by next spring there is
good pasture, then they let the cat
tie, sheep and goats il to eat off the
sprouts and in couple Of years or so
the stumps can be kicked out. AS

bark of which Cascara is made is in
dIgenOus to the country. For the past
few years the settlers have made
money by going to the woods with
their families in tn summer, SHINING
the bark from the trees and selling it
as low as IL cents per pound. But
recently there has been a boom in this
medicine and it has gone as high as
p cents per pound. One man above
here took a contract last winter to
slash land for the chittam bark on it
and has made $4,000 this fall. Before
the price went up we did not care
much who got it so long as they asked
our consent and promised $40 per ton

Long Session.

james Kelly Convicted by Jury After
Long Session.
Seattle.-After nineteen hours de
the jury selected to Try
James Kelly, accused Of robbing Hen
~ Anderson on June l, returned a
verdict Of guilty. The verdict was
surprise to those who followed the
case. as it was thought that the long
delay meant acquittal Or disagree
ment To form an opinion OF the
guilt or innocence Of the accused was
probably the hardest problem ever
presented to any jury.
Kelly is the third of trio convicted
Of holding up and robbing Anderson
when he was under the influence OF
liuuor in an alley near Railroad
avenue. On Thursday John Kelly was
convicted, and the following day Pat
rick j. Murphy was also found guilty
of the robbery. On Monday James
Kelly, the last of the trio, was put
on trial charged with the crime.
At this trial Patrick Murphy ap-
peared as a witness for the defense.
In his testimony he swore that he and
two other men named Henderson and
Thomas committed the crime. He tes-
tilted that he had never seen john
Kelly. who was already convicted,
and that he was not with him on the
might Anderson was robbed. James
Kelly, he stated he knew, but sWore
that on the night Of the robbery, the
man on trial was not in his company.
The jury must have decided that
Murphy was nor telling the truth
when he named his pals and exoner-
ated the two Kellys. John kelly's
counsel has made a motion for a new
trial, and it is thought that James
Kelly will ask that he be given an
other trial.
