shows It's appreciation OF flowers and

bower birds which are peculiar to the

bower birds among the birds of par

TN CONVICT STRIPES"
A Thrilling Story of the Human Emo tions.


 That powerful melodrama, Tn Con- vict Stripes" will be the attraction at the Opera House on Thursday, Feb ruary H.
 The play is best described as being one with heart interest, for it tells a thrilling story of the human emotions. and most defuy has the author cor structed his work. Love and jeal- ousy, comedy and pathos, are admir- ably blended, and never for once does the interest of the audience flag. The characters of this great play are dis tinct types, and around their relations to one another has been woven a drama of overwhelming strength. The climaxes are extremely sensational, and notable indeed is the realistic view of Southern convict camp shown in the third act. A proper in- depreciation of such a play demands capable acting. and an excellent com pany will appear in the presentation. Scenically the production will be most elaborate, and the audience will be treated to a succession of effective stage pictures.

PLEA FOR IRRIGATION.
Nyssa Progress Makes Striking Argu-
ment for MaIheur Project.

The Nyssa Progress, published at
Nyssa, Malheur county. prints the fol-
lowing impassioned plea for the ac-
irrigation scheme by the people of the
county:
''The large portion of the business
of the world is done on borrowed cap
ital on which interest is paid" says
the Progress. Large enterprises are
built with borrowed money and inter-
est paid for its use. The Owyhee
ditch has $4,000 of borrowed capital
on which it pays per cent interest.
The same company is borrowing
money for improvements and is pay
ing 10 per cent interest for its use. If
1t pays to pay interest on borrowed
capital. and the Owyhee people. as
well as people engaged in other busi-
ness enterprises evidently think it
does, why will it not pay to do busi-
ness where you can get the money
without interest?
I'VE, as a people, are made the
heretofore unheard of offer of un-
limited capital to construct a perfect
irrigation system and all we are asked
TO do is to repay the actual cost on the
instalment plan. No offer could be
more generous. except free gift, and
yet we find people opposing it The
very people who are paying high in
terest on borrowed capital oppose it.
How can they explain this inconsist-
ency? We would like to see some one
make the attempt"

Deputy City Physician w. L. Ste
vens is of the opinion that the patient
is a victim of a malady peculiar to
tropical Africa.
Persons afflicted with this strange
disease have been known to sleep
themselves to DEATH" he said. while
1 am not prepared to state at this
time that the patient is a victim of
this disease, the symptoms point very
much that way. The climatic condi-
tions of the interior of Luzon are
known to have a debilitating effect
upon those from a more temperate
zone, after residing there for any
great length of time. OF all the sick
soldiers who have returned from the
Philippines, this is the first case of the
kind that has come under my notice"

eating he remains in a stupor and can

HAY KING OF UMATuLA COUNTY
F. b. steen VIII Raise 1900 Tons of
Hay Next Season.

Hay Next Season.
Sixteen hundred tons of hay is the
amount which F. b. Steen expects to
raise next season from the lands
which he is farming in the Hudson
Bay district, says the Milton Eagle. He
is operating two farms, one of 100
acres of the Coombs place. and the
Harvey Young farm, consisting of
$50 acres, 10 of which is fine al
falfa land.
This land produces three crops dur
ing season which aggregate something
over five tons per acre. The hay last
year sold for IS per ton in the stack
and the cost of producing the hay is
estimated at less than. 81 per ton, so
it viii be seen that there is a good
profit in the business, In addition the
land affords good pasturage after the
third cutting until cold weather and is
worth several dollars per acre for
that purpose.
The quality of the hay raised is
of the finest grade and range stock
viii fatten up on 1t in from six weeks
TO two months ready for the market
without any other feed.
This farm is one of the oldest in
the Hudson Bay district and is too
well known to need describing. The
Walla Walla Dressed Meat co. is at
present feeding about 400 head of cat
tie on the feeding grounds there and
IL requires two men constantly en-
gagged in hauling hay to them. There
are six feeding pens containing sew
eral acres each and being dry and
sheltered from the weather make an
Ideal place for fattening the cattle.
Mr.. Steen's special pride is his herd
of thoroughbred registered red Dur
ham cattle. There are 40 in the herd
at present and command ready sale at
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-12-27

from $50 to 500 each. and in some
cases SIPS is paid for an especially
fine animal. AS the cost of producing
this class of cattle is no greater than
for an inferior grade, the advantage
OF raising thoroughbred stock is ap-
parent.
