East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-09-27

Although about dozen new resi-
dences have been erected in Heppner
this year, the city has not gone ahead
as rapidly as the conditions warrant,
says the Hcppner Times. The reason
for this hesitating spirit on the part
of our people to build more rapidly
is the fear of high waters. such as
visited our city in June, 1908. 1t is
not because they do not have faith
in the town in a business way, for
the prospects We're never brighter for
/ "a greater Heppner than they are to-
/ day.
What we need now is to restore
confidence in the people from a repe
| tition Of an avalanche of water such
as visited our fair city two years ago.
/ such a disaster can be averted by
Strengthening. widening and deepening
/ the channel, Of Willow creek within
/ the borders of the town 1t is esti-
/ mated that this can be done for $40
! 600 to $4,000.
| Mr.. G. w. Derrick of Creede Col,
| who is here this week buying sheep,
! informs the Times that his town is
situated i'm a canyon similar to that
| OF Heppner the only difference being
| that the Colorado stream, which is
also Willow creek. is more treacher-
Gus than our Willow creek because
/ the fall in the stream is much greater
than ours.
To avoid such calamities as befell
our city the Creede people applied to
their state Legislature for help and
received $4,000 toward widening
i fluming and strengthening the chan
mel of the stream through their town.
To this sum the city and citizens add
ed $4,000. which completed the work
Of half a mile i'm extent. the channel
being widened to % feet and to
depth of five feet provided with
check dams every 10 or 12 feet.
Mr.. Derrick thinks that Heppner
can be made perfectly safe from all
high water at a cost not to exceed
$4,000. While we would have longer
line of channel to reconstruct than did
1 the Creede, We would not have the
expense of check dams as the fall
in our stream is not nearly so great
as in the Colorado streamm.
1t Is not improbable that Heppner
could secure the fund subscribed by
( Portland for this city just after the
flood, which was never used. as our
town did not desire to receive any
, more than she absolutely needed. II
, we cannot get that fund there is a
| way to raise the money for making
our city safe from high water, and it
should be the first move of our COM
mercial club to take the matter up
and push it to a successful termina-
ton Let us prove to the outside
world that we are a progressive peo-
pie and can make of our city what
her resources justly entitle her

FLoTo SHOWS COMING.
Circus Beautiful VIII BE in Pendlcton
ON OrInhpI.

OH OttODtf %.
No tented amusement enterprise on
earth has met with such continuous
praise and applause as has the great
'F'loto shows. which will appear here
on October s. An ovation greets this
clean and beautiful organization at
every point in its annual tour.
From the cold waters of Hudson
bay to the Rio Grande and Pacific
shores the name of Floto is a house
hold word, and the coming of the
great Floto shows that bear his name
is greeted always with a hearty well
come.
From the genesis of the show until
its present colossal perfection, there
has not been solitary season in which
it has not led its fellows in the multi
plicity and general excellence of its
attractions. and now it towers above
and dwarfs all other tented exhibitions
i'm comparative insignificance. and this
season IT presents such an Opulence Of
sterling and meritOriOus attractions as
to entitle it to be designated as vast
amusement Golconda whose wondrous
wealth Of entertainment is unlimited
and immeasureable.
The circus has always been the best
and biggest. always in the van, always
prolific in leading and sensational fig
ures. and always fully equipped with
the finest stud of horses and the most
skillful and finished bareback riders,
gymnasts and acrobats in the profess
sion. that has large, well ordered me-
nagerle containing living, vigorous
specimens Of all that Is strange, rare
and curious within the range of nat
ural history, and that this royal Ro-
man hippodrome is a vivid and realis-
tic production of that of the days of
the imperial Caesar
II may be said however that to
these always prominent and desirable
attractions has been added, for the
current season, a feature so stupend-
Gus in magnificence, so overpowering
| In unprecedented grandeur and Inn
| pressiveness, and so enormous In the
| expense necessary to its production
that the features mentioned, grand and
wonderful as they are. can at best play
but secondary part.

While the revival spirit is working
amongst the cotton farmers, they need
wise missionaries to get them in the
right way and keep them there.
Many of them have an idea that, If by
come sort Of conventions, resolutions
and threats, cotton can be brought up
to 10 cents this fall they will be all
right. That is building on the sand,
with probable storms any year. Let
US all get right, as the preachers say,
before we start. There should be q
we'll laid plan with these objects in
view. The deepening and improve
ment of the Soil which will increase
the yield should be the first aim. Best
implements suited to the land and
crops should be bought. After this
the chief aim should be to raise all
home supplies possible. One of these
days thrifty, wise farmers in the Pied
mont belt will buy nothing but sugar,
coffee, salt and such condiments and
Iluxuries as they cannot raise. Here
comes the necessity for a judicious ro-
tation of crops.
This suggestion is made for a rota-
tionithat will improve the land: Corn
and peas, followed by peas sown or
planted. Then plant in cotton the
third year. After the cotton begin
with the corn and peas again, This
is a good three years plan. The soil
must be deepened until it is 10 to Is
inches deep. Suppose q two-horse
farmer has go .acresl of arabic land.
That will give him 20 acres in small
grain, 20 in corn and peas and 20 in
cotton. You see how fast the land
will improve with 40 acres in peas
each year, provided the stu oble and
corn land are sown and planted in
peas.

Special to the Herald.
Washington. d. c., May l9.-Cbina will put
ia opposition TO Chinese exclusion It's boy
colt OF American goods. This WAS announced
officially today by the Chinese legation here.
Asked what was meant by the action OF
China in deciding not to purchase American
goods, the Chinese minister said
1T means business. China will not buy q
yard OF American goods while America
violates her treaty obligations by excluding
or deportiny Chinese"
The Chinese diplomat explained that the
treaty of 1865 between China and America
gave full freedom OF Intercourse. Chinese,
under the treaty, could come TO America, and
America could trade With China. Tnls treaty
was modified by the treaty of 1880, VIII lch pro-
vided that the United States and Chipa
might make an agreement excluding Chinese
labOrers. This was done In 1894 by a treaty
limited TO 10 years, which treaty expired last
year. The expiration Of this treaty, the Chi.
nese diplomat asserts, places the two coun-
tries In the position In which they were plac-
ed by the treaty Of 1850. Every Chinaman eX-
Guided or deported is excluded or deported In
violation of the treaty obligations OF the
United States 10 China. The only way in
which there can be no such exclusion, the
Chinese hold, Is by Il treaty provided for 1t.
No such treaty Is now In force.
Among other interests which will suffer
severely from the boycott are the cotton
growers and millers of the South, China
being r.. large consumer Of American cotton
and cotton goods.

THOUGHTS FOB FARMERS.
Sowing Oats in the open Furrow.

J. II. Green, Franklin, N. c., makes
the following inquiry:
II am q reader of The Progressive
Farmer and enjoy your letters. Will
you please describe fully how oats are
sown in the open fufrow? What kind
of pillow Is used? I wish to try 1t next
fall.n
Now, Mr.. Green lives in the porth-
ern part of the state. Winters must
be pretty cold, with SHOWS and heavy
freezes. But he will find no difficulty
in carrying the Red Rust, Proof oats or
the Appler, which is an improvement
on the Red, through the severest win.
tiers. These are the oats to plant If a
heavy yield is desired. Prepare the
land in October, or better In Septem-
Der, if there is no growing crop on it.
Subsoil and harrow Now in subsoil-
ing do not break more than two or
three inches of the clay at one time.
In this country the CAN'T oat drill and
fertilizer distributor is used. It is
made like a guano distributor, except
that the hopper has a division in the
middle. The fertilizer is placed in the
front hopper and the oats in the other.
There are two slots with two levers to
regulate the output Of fertilizer and
oats. I generally use a small shovel
pillow, 5 inches wide, because I have
been planting thin land to improve it.
The rows are IL to IA inches apart.
With a six-inch shovel the rows would
be wider. Always run the rows so
that the dirt from the plow will not
fill up the preceding furrow. First
the fertilizer drops Immediately be-
hind the pillow and the dirt falling
back covers it about an inch. Then
the oats drop down and the two little
iron covers follow and throw an inch
or two of dirt on the oats. A lively
hand will plant two or two and q half
acres daily as soon as he learns how
to manipulate the machine; which is
not more difficult than a cotton plan
ter. Oats should be planted in Octo-
Der if possible. If not they will come
on all right in November. Many Of
our farmers had given up the Red
Rust Proof oats because they were ten
der and easily killed. There was an
intensely dry cold spell, January 25 to.
20. That changed the color of the oats
somewhat, but did not kill them.
Then came the snow and ice Of Feb
ruary when the ground was frozen two
weeks. They came out Of that all
right looking green and luxuriant.
Not a single lot planted In the open
furrow has been killed.
