WASTE LAND IS
VERY PRODUCTIVE.
WESTERN UMATILIlA YIELDS
MANY VARIETIES
j. NJ. Griffiths, of Hermiston, Speaks
Entertainingly of the Prospects
Ahead Of the Rich District Around
That Flacc-All the Semi-Topic
Crops Grow Abundantly There.

TIE great agricultural possibilities
of the irrigated district of Umatilla
county are vividly demonstrated in the
Hermiston district where several hun
dred acres of rich land is now under
irrigation, producing a wonderful va
riety of crops.
On a tract OF about 200 acres at
Hermiston this season ]. F. McNaught
has raised alfalfa with nurse" crop
of rye and has made a success of IL.
Watermelons, vegetables and other
crops have been raised successfully
and it is believed that sorghum, kaf-
fir corn, German millet, brown durra,
Jerusalem corn and every other for
age crop which thrives in Kansas,
oklahoma and Nebraska will do well
in the vicinity of Hermiston. All these
varieties are rich in food elements
and make milk and fat rapidly and
are invaluable as cheap winter feed.
With large areas of these crops on
the higher land and alfalfa on the
lower land under irrigation, the vast
possibilities of that rich section of the
country may be realized.
]. Nj. Griffiths, an expert farmer
and irrigator who has had charge of
the Mcknight land at Hermiston this
year, is in the city today on business
and speaks entertainingly of the pros
poets for diversified farming in the
Fermiston district. He believes that
all of the semi-tropic crops will grow
there and that in the entire west end
of Umatilla county. in time, will be
found one of the most highly cultivat-
ed small farm sections in the west.
Climate, soil, water, transportation
and all the requirements for a rich
community are at hand and it only
lacks willing settlers to convert thi:
land into productive farms. Mr.. Grif-
fths formerly had charge of irrgat'
ed land at Umatilla and is SURPRISED
at the fertility of the sandy soil under
irrigation.
A large amount of. land will he
broken out next year and crops Of
every variety will be tested. 1t Il
hoped to bring the finest exhibit tC
be seen at the next county fair from
Hermiston next year.

Rough Weather North.

Seattle, Nov AFTER shedding a
blade from her propeller, the Pacific
Coast steamer Senator arrived in port
early this morning with 253 passen-
gers and s13O,0OO in treasure. Rough
weather was encountered on the voy-

heavy northwest gale near Unimak
Pass, the accident to the Senator's
propeller occurred. The ship left
Nome October 25, about 10 hours
previous to the sailing of the Victoria,
which reached port yesterday morn
ing. While off Cape Flattery, the
Senator encountered a succession of
heavy eastern storms. Officers of the
ship state that she was storm-bound
at Nome four days before she could

PROMINENT
REPUBLICAN
AGAINST SLEMP

Mr.. John w. Eckman Declares
That he Cannot Support Slemp
but Will Vote for Bruce-Says
Slemp is Unfit TO Represent
This District.
Some Of the Republican newspapers
10 the Ninth District have been so GER
tain that the opposition to Col. Slemp
in the Republican party, was the re-
suit of Democratic Imagination, that
they have challenged any one to show
Republican who would not support
Slemp, and vote for Bruce.
Right here In Pulaski county is
found, and without any hunting, a
number of such Republicans; and for
the satisfaction of these challenging
newspapers one gentleman especially
prominent as a Republican has de-
clared himself not only against Slemp,
but that he would vote for Bruce.
This gentlemen is Nj T. John W. Eek
man, the general manager of the Pu-
laski Iron Company and who has been
life long Republican and still is an
earnest advocate Of Republican princi
pies, but in this election cannot sup
port Col. Slemp. Mr.. Eckman has long
been prominent in the Republican
councils of this district and has been
a loyal contributor and supporter OF
the Republican party. He was dele
gate from the Ninth Virginia District
to the Republican Conyention at Chi
cago, which nominated Roosevelt and
has always taken an active part in the
district conventions and elections, and
he has taken his stand from a matter
of principle, as he has neither sought
or desired political office.
A few days ago Mr.. Eckman was
interviewed as to his attitude in the
present campaign, and he was very
emphatic In declaration that he would
would not vote for Slemp.
Mr.. Eckman said he regretted that
he could not support Slemp as he was
distinctly Republican but he did not
consider Col. Slemp a fit man, morally.
socially or intellectually, to represent
this great Ninth District in Congress
and that every self respecting Republi-
can ought TO be ashamed OF Slemp's
conduct at Tazewell two years ago
when he was stupidity drunk when
brought before the convention that
nominated him, and that it would be
charitable TO say he was only drunk
when he attempted TO introduce Hon.
Leslie nj. Shaw, Secretary Of the
Treasury. to the mass meeting a.
Roanoke last year when one OF tn,
most representative bodies ever assem-.
bled in this state gathered to nominate
a state ticket.
Mr.. Eckman further states that Col
Slemp's conduct on that occasion was
such as to make Republicans ashamed
OF him and that he could not vote 70,
Slemp but be and his two sons were
going to vote for Bruce who is Dem
ocrat but always gentleman.
] Mr., Eckman said that his attitud.
