Cne of the handsomest 2O0-acre farms
in the country, which is run on scien-
tific principles applied to diversified
farming and horticulture, was in the
city yesterday and informed the DEM
ocrat that ne is preparing to thor
oughly test the Campbell system of
dry farming in the raising Of alalfa
from imported seed by the o. r. &
n. industrial agent, r. c. Judson, for
the express purpose of growing hogs,
says the Baker City Democrat.
The theory is that the land which
is plowed deep the preceding fall and
has gathered and stored all the mois-
ture of the winter is seeded deeply
rolled down and covered with a dust
blanket which is not disturbed. This
blanket keeps all the moisture in the
ground, allows none of 1t to escape
and successfully raises a large crop
in the dryest climate.
The experiment will be watched
with much interest by all in Baker
county.

SULLIVAN & BOND CONSOLIDATE
WITH THE GREAT EASTERN STORE

BY the articles of agreement, sign
ed Saturday, b. f. Nicholas, ]. NJ, Sui
livan and Charles e. Bond will be
stockholders in the corporation soon
to be formed.
The consolidation of the two big
stores will result in considerable
changes being made in the interior
of the stores. The partition separat-
ing the two businesses will be re-
moved and the clothing, mems furn-
ishings and shoe departments of the
store will occupy the room now held
by Sullivan & Bond, while the cloth
ing space in the Great Eastern Store
will be utilized for the ladies' ready
to-wear department.
For the present the two stores will
be operated separately until the two
stocks of clothing are reduced to the
size of one.
The consolidation of these two
stores is one OF the largest transac-
tions in mercantile circles that has
taken place in Pendleton for several
years. The new company will be In
corporated for $4,000, two-thirds Of
the stock be held by B. F. Nicholas
and one-third by Sullivan & Bond.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-03-27

Business men and others who have
witnessed the keen rivalry that has
existed of late between the Great
Eastern Store and the firm OF Sulli-
van & Bond will doubtless be surpris
d to see the notice of consolidation
that appears elsewhere In this issue.
For several weeks past there has
seemingly been the bitterest rivalry
between the above houss, and needless
to say the formation of company
including the proprietors of both
stores was hardly expected.
According to the statement issued
Messrs. Nicholas and Sullivan & Bond
have found it better to be at peace
than at war, and that in union there
is strength Accordingly, they have
formed company which will include
the men and stocks of both establish
ments. and in the near future the
business will be conducted under one
name, that of the Great Eastern De-
partment store.
! At present an archway will be made
connecting the two rooms, and 1t is
proposed that later on q larger open
ing be made, or the wall removed

TO BUY BLALocK ISLAND.
Monster Irrigation Scheme May BE
Begun.


Walla walla, March Especially
"A rumor is current in Walla Walla
that a deal is being negotiated for the
sale of Blalock island, located in the
middle of the Columbia river, by
i'inch & Campbell. of Spokane. to a
number of Philadelphia capitalists
who are represented in this state by
Isaac w Anderson, president of the
Northwestern Gas u Electric COM
pany.
If the deal is contaminated, it is
said that the plan of Mr.. Anderson is
to install a large pumping plant on
| the island and by raising water from
the river irrigate the 5000 acres that
the island contains. Power for the
purpose is to be supplied with cleo
tricity and will be transmitted from
the electric company's plant on the
/ Walla Walla river.
! Engineer Starrow, of the electric
company, 1t is said, has recently made
an investigation of the island and
made a favorable report to Mr. An
| derson, who has informed the Phila-
delphia capitalists that the proposed
project is feasible.
The scheme is to cut up the land
in small tracts and dispose of it tc
persons who are desirous of engaging
in the raising of fruits and vegeta.
bles on an extensive scale.
It is also claimed that there are
many people in Pennsylvania ant
other eastern states who have slgni
fled a desire to come West and in al
probability most OF the land on tht
island will be taken by them, IL th'
project is carried out.

ARGUING \ NEW TRIAL MOTION
Defense Relics Upon TechnicaIitics
Solely.

Cleveland. March 27.-Mrs. Chad
wick this morning refused to leave
the county Jail and go to the federal
court, where the motion for new
trial for her was to be heard assert
ing she was unable to dress owing to
neuralgia. The federal authorities
ordered force to be used if necessary,
but acting upon the advice of her at
torneys Mrs. Chadwick consented to
appear without further protest.
Attorney Sullivan, Assistant Garry
and Attorneys Dawley and Ming, rep
resenting Mrs. Chadwick, argued the
motion for a new trial.
The motion for new trial is based
upon technical grounds and on the
claim that the jury was not properly
chosen.
The argument attracted big crowds
as it is believed that should the mo-
ton be denied by Judge Taylor, he
( would promptly sentence the pris-
oner.

Thomas H. Means, chief Of the soil
division of the United States reclama-
ton department, has arrived here
for the purpose OF investigating the
arid lands lying to the southwest of
Pendleton. He was sent out by the
department largely at the request of
Senator Fulton, and his main reason
In coming to Oregon is to ascertain
the possibilities of the Umatilla arid
coming here he spent some time in
New Mexico and California, and after
he is through with his work here, will
proceed to Idaho.
Mr. Means was seen this morning at
the U. S. G.. S. office here, and while
unwilling to prophesy anything In re-
gard to his Investigations to be made
here, spoke freely and entertainingly
of the nature of the work in which
he is engaged. According to him no
reclamation project is fully accepted
by the department without first hav-
ing a thorough soil investigation made
to ascertain the worth of the land
when irrigated. Sometimes the soil
examination is made before anything
else is done, but in the Umatilla pro-
ject no regular investigation has been
made in the past though n prelimina-
ry inspection was had. This is taken
as meaning that no doubt was enter
tained as to the value of the land when
once watered. However, despite this
fact, an investigation of the soil con-
ditions is necessary. as some of the
minor reclamation plans are determ-
ined by the condition of the soil and
the nature of the crops that are to be
grown.
While the primary object of his trip
here is to ascertain the winter irri-
CATION possibilities of the land, Mr..
Means stated that while doing so he
will also make the regular invesu-
CATION for perennial irrigation Ac-
cordng to him, the latter method of
reclamation is always preferable and
will be carried out by the department
wherever possible. While 1t is possi-
BILE to save land through winter irri-
CATION, when no other way is feasible
yet the range of crops that are raised
is so much more limited that 1t is
only accepted as last resort. Egypi
according to Mr.. Means, offers evil
dence of the superiority of perennial
irrigation over that of winte rirriga-
ton. There. until 100 years ago, the
water from the Nile was allowed to
flood the adjoining lands during higf
water. and as a result one crop would
be raised during the summer. Nov
that the water is distributed through
all the year by means of flood gates
several crops of much wider range are
grown as result.
Tomorrow Mr.. Means will go from
here for trip over that section q
the county lying southwest of Echo
and will be accompanied by one of the
men from the local reclamation
force. Later on, should the projec
be carried to completion by the gov
ernment, a minute examination o
every 4O-acre tract will be made. Thi
is done for the purpose of learning
the exact value Of all the land, upoi
which basis 1t will be divided int
farms varying from 40 to 150 acre
in size. However, this examination
will not be done until 1t is know
that the project will be carrie'
through by the government

SPECIAL WOOL FREIGHT RATES.
Efforts to Defect the Carrying Via
Sumpter and Baker City.

"Yes. we have made a rate OF 10
cents on wool from Upton to Baker
City as against the regular mileage
tariff rate of over 40 cents in order
to induce the shipping of wool from
the Grant and Harney countries this
way" said General Freight and Pas
senger Agent Joseph Barton of the
Sumpter Valley railroad, when asked
about the matter yesterday.
"The reason is this: There is Moth
ing in the wool traffic in itself. But,
II we can get the business coming this
way instead of having the wool of that
section go out by way of Shaniko or
Pendleton by team we will make other
business here in which there is a
profit. Every wool team that goes
out by way of Shaniko or other west
ern outlets brings back into the coun-
try a load of supplies and the Baker
City, Sumpter and Upton merchants
lose just that much trade. II the
teams haul the wool to Upton and II
is shipped out via Baker City the
merchants here will fill the supply
orders It is very simple and 1t Is be-
lieved that a large part of the busi-
ness will come this way this year.
"There is a good deal of talk about
wooden mill and a securing plant in
Baker City. Put up a wool press
here first to accommodate the ship
pers of the raw material and that will
pave the way for the other institu.
tions. Get the press and get the WOO
coming this way from the nearby
counties, and then with the WOO
raised here at home It will be an easy
matter to start your woolen mill ant
wool securing plant. Begin at the
beginning Baker City Democrat
