of farms have been taken. houses
erected and the soil turned over by
the plow. In fact the country is set
Ting rapidly and will soon be as

county section in this state.
AT Echo the Furnish Ditch COM

structlng an immense irrigation ditch
that will water many hundreds of
acres. The government engineers in
charge of the Umatilla irrigation pro-
ject are still in the field with a large
force of men doing the preliminary
work toward getting the project start
ed.
"The little town of Echo is improv-
ing very fast and is now one of the
best business centers in Umatilla
county. Many improvements are be-
ing carried on and numerous new
buildings are being erected. The en-
tire country through which I passed
looks good and the indications for a

WILD FLOWERS IN ALASKA.
Native Blooms Grow i'm Great Variety
and Profusion.

Sixty-five different specimens OF
wild flowers We're gathered by Mrs.
L. ]. Caswell near Seward last year,
says the Seward Gateway. These have
been carefully pressed and the num-
Der does not include several which
failed to preserve entirely and were
thrown away to be replaced next year.
Nearly all these flowers were picked
within easy walking distance of Sew
ard, about half a dozen were brought
from remoter localities and one was
sent down from Turnagain Arm.
Mrs. Caswell, who is an entbusias-
tic amateur botanist. believes that she
can bring her list up to at least 100
the coming summer, as it would be
contrary to botanical law for all the
Towering plants native to large re-
gion to be found within a radius of a
few miles in any part of the district.

ewes are maintained for milking pur-
poses. They are millled in dairies and
treated in much the same way as
cows. They are driven in late in the
afternoon, the lambs separated into a
camp apart from their dams till the
morning, when about one-third of a
litre "a litre is q little more than a
quart is drawn from each eve before
she goes out with her lamb for the
day. This milk is used for cheese,
which is very readily sold in the coun-
try. 1t is only upon exceptionally rich
pasture that ewes can be MIXED, and
care has to be exercised that no in
jury to the lamb accrues from the ex-
traction of too much milk from the
eve. 1t is rare that q eve gives too
much milk to her l-Ib.-American
