RETURNED FROM CALIFORNIA.
Victoria Island Litigation is Now ut an
End

State Senator w. NJ. Pierce returned
last night from California, where he
has been during the past few weeks
on account of the litigation involving
the Victoria Island Co. This morning
Mr.. Pierce stated that the litigation
is now ended. and that the indebted
ness assumed by the company is in
the form of flve-year mortgage.
Victoria Island is in the San Joa-
quin river, and contains 1900 acres.
1t is low land and is protected from
the river by levee around the entire
island, and the land is irrigated from
the water of the river let in through
flood gates. The island is now being
used for truck gardening and is rent
ed out among 700 Cinnamon, who pay
cash rental of about $4,000 annu-
ally. The stockholders of the COM
pany are w. NJ. Pierce, Henry Pierce,
(who resides on the island), and A.
D. Stillman.
A. D. Stillman, who has also been
in California during the recent suit,
will probably remain there until after
the Woodman convention is held at
Los Angeles.

What a fortunate provision OF nature
II is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be It's
grief to discover, in the height Of It's

were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is veritable
store-house OF pleasing rewards for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have

Unsurpassed Climate.

ShSuL DsAoSSN
The climate of the Umatilla lands
is unsurpassed for crop growing. The
northern position of this country
gives long days, more sunshine-a
longer crop growing period than in
southern latitudes. The increase in
length of growing season by virtue of
the increased length of sunlight over
the latitude of Southern California
amounts to IA days during the sum-
mer months. That is, plants grow
ing here between April and october
have what is equivalent to IA days
more sunlight than those around Los
Angeles, and IA days crop growth
amounts to a great deal, particularly
where alfalfa is being grown. This
fact accounts for the rapid growth
of crops around this country.
believe the Umatilla country will
surprise many people. Where now
there is but a waste of sand and sage

Continued from page 81

perity is not dependent alone upon
the vicissitudes of a market for the
more perishable truck crops.
The future of a country with such
great natural advantages depends
solely upon the class Of men settling
upon the lands. From my knowl-
edge of the class of men settling in
this Inland Empire, the future of the
country is as safe in their hands as
in the hands of any other class in
America Men not afraid of hard
work, men eager to farm with their
brains as well as with their hands is
the class needed.
Experimental Farms.
Arrangements are being made by
the reclamation service for an exper-
iment farm to be established in each
project OF importance. where tests
of crops, actual demonstrations of the
possibilities of soil and climate can be
seen by each settler. The United
States government does more today
for its farmers in supplying them
with the results of scientific inves-
hkdllOn TIE AlGlu Va
than any other country in the world,
and the more use is made Of this in
formation by the farmers the more
successful will they be.
The phase or the irrigation Ques-
hon which has been prominently be-
fore the people recently is that of
winter irrigation. The uncertainty of
rfxy
seems to have caused the people to
look to winter irrigation, or more
properly flood irrigation, for solu-
ton of the question. II is well known
that after seasons of heavy rainfall
crops can be grown without irrigation
and the impression is widespread that
one or two irrigations during winter
will be almost as profitable as. peren-
NAL irrigation, and in consequence
the chief engineer Of the reclamation
service, Mr.. F. H. Newell, has been
repeatedly urged by the people to take
up the question of winter irrigation
1t is the policy of the reclamation
service to give the people the bes'
form of irrigation -ather than the
easiest and cheapest, consequently
careful study must be made of the
two methods before a solution /:
reached. II the flood irrigation Of
lands proves more profitable, con
hdering the expenditure, that system
will undoubtedly be recommended
On the other hand, if it proves tina
perennial irrigation is most desirable
this method will be presented to th'
people. In order to definitely decid
the relative value of land farmed b!
flood irrigation and that farmed un
der perennial irrigation, it is hope
that certain Investigations or expert
ments will be carried on during tn
summer upon the lands in question
Farms under the two methods of II
rlgation will be selected and thei
