That the agricultural and livestock
fair proposed for Pendleton will prove
of great benefit to all interests con-
cerned is the firm belief of n. c.
Maris Mr.. Maris was for a time in
charge of the e. B. Wade fine bred
livestock and livestock exhibits. Since
leaving here he has made his home
in Portland, and is now connected
with the Northwest Rural Spirit of
that place. He was seen this morn
ing at the Hotel st. George, and ex-
pressed the belief that Umatilla
county should be proud of its live
stock as well as its farming inter-
ests, because of the fact that some OF
the finest herds in the state are in
this county.
THE main thing in regard to the
fair" said he, will be to have the
dates so arranged as not to conflict
with the other fairs on the circuit
Most of the large fine stock exhib-
ors like to cover as many places as
possible, and will undoubtedly come
here IL there is no conflict. 1t costs
them as much to prepare their stock
for one fair as for a whole series
and when they are out they wish to
exhibit at as many places as possible
thus winning more premiums anc
better advertising their herds. l be-
lieve the matter of getting into the
circuit to be a very important one
and that 1t should not be overlooked
by the men in charge of the fair.
According to Nh. Maris there is nC
doubling the fact that stockmen whC
attempt to build up their herds ant
make a specially Of good stock de
rive immense benefit from exhibiting
at fairs, and he prophesies that thu
Umatilla county stockmen will dt
well by the proposed fair.
Mr.. Maris will leave today TO
Butter Creek to investigate the win
ter feeding that is being done there
He is the travelling man for his pub
lication, and is preparing illustrated
articles on livestock subjects.
Mr.. Maris has sold his herd of g.
registered Shorthorns which he ha
been wintering near Pullman, to E
E. Dent, of Cheney, Wash.
on the eighth and ninth of tn
month he will attend the meeting o
the Inland Stockgrowers' association
to be held at Pullman. During tn
session a local livestock exhibit wi
also be held.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-02-06

Senator Paris Gibson of Montana,
in company with Guy E. Mitchell,
secretary of the National Irrigation
association, recently called upon the
president to discuss the various meas
ures before congress, affecting Mon
tana, Colorado and South Dakota, and
allowing homestead entryman to
take up a square mile of land in
stead of 100 acres.
Senator Gibson stated to the presi-
dent that he believed 640-acre
homestead policy was one of the
most dangerous and menacing pieces
of legislation which had been sug-
gested. He said that It was proposed
to open up the rich Western lands in
these large tracts and that 1t would
result in the aggregation of great
holdings, far worse than anything of
the kind which had yet occurred.
No man can say at this time, Sena-
tor Gibson declared, what are pure
ly irredeemable grazing lands. and
what are agricultural, or may shortly
become agricultural lands. Great
tracts of country are being cultivated
today in small farms, which 10 years
ago were looked upon as utterly
worthless, and the womb Of the fut-
ure certainly contains even greater
surprises.
Under increasing knowledge of con-
ditions, improving methods of agri-
culture and the constant discovery
and introduction by the department
of agriculture of arid land crops, we
are making wonderful progress, and
why, Senator Gibson pleaded, should
we check this great land producing
development by bringing upon our
western country the curse of further
great land holdings.
No man, he stated, can as sue
cessfully farm a square mile as he
can 100 acres and to give men SAC
acres would mean that in most cases
they would not try to farm it, they
would not struggle with the soil and
with new crops and succeed in grow
ing anything upon it; 1t would simply
support a few head of cattle or a
small band of sheep. Senator Gibson
told the president that he spoke from
80 years residence and an active
and practical farm experience in Mon
tana-
Mr.. Mitchell added that the objec
ton of the National Irrigation asso
citation to the square-mile home
stead policy was that very large area
| of good agricultural land where l6'
acres was ample for a home, woul'
be included in the 64O-acre home
steads, and he supported Senator Glib
sons contention that with our presen
knowledge of western lands, prope
and intelligent classification is impos
sible.
He mentioned an instance COMING
under his notice last summer embrac
ing some hundred thousand acres
high table land in the Cherry Pate
ridge, a days drive from Harlem
Mon. where the land had been Craze
for 20 years. open to homestead entry
but with no thought of its bein
farming land capable of supportin
families. Last season 10 acres wer
planted to various grains, flax, etc
and in spite of very late planting an
an exceptionally poor year, exceller
Yields were produced without irriga
ton, an utter astonishment to tn
people of Harlem, and now the coun
try is being settled up with the as
surance of a large and prosperou
farming community.
