decision favorable to the plaIn-
tiffs in the noted Pearson-Pervgne
case was given yesterday afternoon
by Circuit Judge w. r. Ellis.
The case, which was tried out at
length last spring, was brought by A.
) Pearson and Louis Winters for the
purpose of clearing a cloud which
was upon their title to some land
purchased of Joseph Perygne. The
latter was said to be an lmbecile, and
1t was alleged that he had been de-
frauded when the sale was made
During the trial dozens of witnesses
from the Milton country were examin-
ed and half of the attorneys of the
city were engaged in the case. A. d.
Stillman and Judge ]. A. Fee repre-
sented the plaintiffs, while HALEY &
Lowell, j. H. Lawrey, S. A. Newberry
and r. ]. Slater were all connected
with the defense.
The substance of the decision given
by Judge Ellis is that Joseph Perygne
was over 81 years of age on August
13, 1908, at which time he executed
the deeds to A. S. Pearson and Louis
Winters; that there was no conspiracy
between Pearson and Winters to de-
fraud Perygne; that $500 was a fair
consideration for the premises sold
by Perygne to the plaintiffs; that
Perygne showed some idiosyncracles.
but none was shown that were not
possessed by many other men who
are competent to transact business and
are considered of extraordinary bus
mess ability. 1t is true the appear
ance of Perygne and many of his per-
sonal traits are against him. he does
not seem to have much appreciation
of the value of money, yet many men
reputed to be of strong mentality do
the same. He CANDLES and uses In
toxicants to excess, but many men
who would be insulted If 1t was pro-
posed to appoint a guardian for them
indulge in the same practice.

HARVEY WILL BOOM
COOPERATIVE FEDERATION
MAY BRING BIG SETTLEMENT.
Sale of French Glenn Tract, Consist
ing of 100000 Acres Near Burns, Is
Anxiously Awaited - Climate of
Harney Is Changing as it Becomes
More and More Settled-County Is
Filled With Fat Cattle-RailrOad
Are Much Needed.

Harney county is anxiously looking
forward to the purchase of the
French-Glenn tract of land, consisting
of 10000 acres by the Cooperative
Christian Federation recently formed
in Portland with a capital of $50,000,-
600.
c. F. Mckinney, a pioneer sawmill
man of Burns arrived in the city yes
terday on his way to the Lewis and
Clark fair, having drove across the
state, a distance of 215 miles from
Burns to Pendleton in three and
half days.
He says the entire county is now
in fever heat expecting the sale of
the French land to be consummated
and the settlement begun by the CO.
operative federation. The purchase
of that land by the federation means
more to central Oregon than any other
event in it's history in the way of set
tlement. 1T would open up the mill
tary road land grant to settlement,
would mean the construction of a rail-
road across the center of the state,
and would open to the homeseeker
one of the most magnificent empires
in the west.
Hay, grain, fruit and livestock are
all produced in abundance in that
county, and while much of the land
is now idle because OF a lack Of trans
portation facilities. 1t would all bios
som If once opened up to the markets
of the world and put In touch with
lines of transportation.
The French-Glenn company is now
making arrangements to drain off a
swamp of $4,000 acres near Burns,
which is excellent farming land when
drained. The water drained from
this tract will be ditched out to the
sagebrush land and 10000 acres can
be reclaimed with it, thus making
two immensely valuable tracts of land
adjacent, by the drainage of the idle
and forbidding swamp.
Harney county is now filled with
fat cattle, but the market is dull. Hay,
water ana grass are plentiful this
season and Mr.. Mckinney declares
that the climate of that locality has
actually changed within the II years
during which time he has been res
ioe1; of the country. All kinds of
crops do remarkably well and he looks
for it to become one Of the best sec
tions in the entire northwest as soon
az it is given railroad facilities.

According to S. Glover, an extern
sive farmer and stockman of Glover,
n. D., who is here for the purpose of
purchasing 10000 or 1900 lambs If
they can be secured, nothing but mac
aroni or Durham wheat is raised upon
his place. This variety, according to
Mr.. Glover, has been found to yield
an average of rs per cent more Of a
crop than any other variety ever rails
ed there. Also, the wheat is said to
be of a much harder nature than or
dlnary wheat and will not rust, smut
or shatter.
Mr.. Glover, who is a man who takes
a great interest in agricultural mat
ters, and has been a practical as well
as a scientific farmer for many years,
was seen at the Hartman Abstract
office this morning, where he was WIS.,
iting Mr.. Johns, formerly a fellow
citizen of Dakota. He talked very
entertainingly of the methods used In
his state. No summer following Is
done upon his farm he says; instead,
corn is planted, when it is wished to
rest the soil. Also, when a wheat crop
10 put III lilt ldIlu Is sOWn WIFI rape
at the same time. This forage plant
grows simultaneously with the wheat,
but much slower. Consequently, when
the wheat is ripe the rape is but five
or six inches high and is not bothered
by the cutting of the grain. After the
wheat is harvested the rape then
makes good headway and during the
fall sheep are turned into the rape
and allowed to eat 1t down. The
land is then plowed late in the fall
and made ready for spring crop.
As to whether or not the rape would
grow here, Mr.. Glover is doubtful as
it is a forage that requires considera-
BILE moisture. However. he thinks
perhaps 1t might be raised upon some
of the wheat land of the county.
Last year 10000 bushels of macaro-
nj or Durham wheat was raised by
Mr.. Glover, who has a farm of 5000
acres. OF this wheat some was ship
ped to parties near Antelope, in Wasco
county.

ANOTHER ICE COMPANY.
Demand for Natural Ice Induces J. l.
Triffett to Locate Here.

After quietly investigating the ice
market and situation in this city for
two weeks, ]. L. Triffett, of Montana,
has decided that Pendleton is an ex-
cellent location for a natural ice bus
iness and will perhaps engage in this
line here in short time.
Mr.. Triffett has secured an unllmlt-
ed supply of natural ice from two or
three places on Occur d'Alene lake and
having found much dissatisfaction In
Pendleton with the artificial supply,
has been induced to come here.
He will ship in several carloads this
season in hopes of becoming acquaint-
ed with the people and next year
hopes to become firmly established.
He says he will sell any amount of
ice required, from five pounds up,
which is not done at present, and will
furnish Il first-class quality of natur-
al ice from the lakes of Idaho. It is
clear and beautiful and will find an
immense sale here.

AVERAGE OF 90 BUSHELS.
That Amount From Ground Which
Was Not Reseeded.

E. Ferguson, an extensive farmer of
the Vansycle country, is in town today
upon a short business trip, and re-
ports that harvesting has now been
going on for three weeks in his neigh
borhood. Owing to the fact that
there was some fall wheat in that sec
ton, threshing commenced a week or
so earlier than at places to the south.
From $50 acres of fall wheat which
he had in and did not reseed, Mr.. Fer
guson says he will derive an average
of 20 bushels per acre, and he is con-
fident that his spring grain will go
considerably ahead of that figure.
While the weather has been hot in
that section, Mr. Ferguson says that
practically no horses have been lost,
as most of the men began work rather
gradually in order to harden their
teams before giving them too much
work.

It is the intention to have compe-
tent managers and laborers in charge

bers to work as much as they are able
and TO have a home on the common

dairying and other light work, would
SO far assist in the work that by
small amount of hired help the
colony could be highly profitable.

Heavy brokerage Business.

Owing to the large number of Idle
men in the city the pawn brokerage
and secondhand business is very ac-
tive Many valuable watches, rings,
pins, watch charms and other jewelry
are found at pawnshops where they
have been left by broke men who
hope to return and redeem them. The
trade in secondhand bedding and
clothes has ben very heavy owing to
the fact that many harvest hands
waited until reaching here to outfit
for harvest The Indians also are
great patrons Of the secondhand
stores and very few bargains escape
them.

Youthful lines in the back, particu-
larIy at the waist line where the broad
ening is first apparent, depend almost
entirely upon good carriage. When the
back broadens, the woman may be sure
that her chest is sinking in, and her
carriage is sloppy. Better than any
exercise prescribed for certain hours of
the day is the invariable habit or
standing correctly. This means that
the abdomen must make a straight line
down the front, and the hips must pro-
trude at the back. The woman whose
