what wool is produced around
Smyrna is chiefly woven into rugs
and carpets and thus largely exported.
o25 long tons going out in 1903, 7Go
tons in 1904 and of the 1905 exports
74O tons were exported to the United
States, the balance going to Belgium

ity ranks only as third or fourth grade.
The following Smyrna houses are the
wool exporters: Alfred a. Keun K

The United States bought last year 81
tons, worth $1,000. There is even :

cattle hides for this purpoF. The
exporters of hides from Smyrna are

Ukiah. Ore, April 25.-F'or years
there has been considerable govern
ment land enclosed in Camas Prairie,
just as is the case in the Juniper coun-
try and in the vicinity OF Vansycle.
The recent visit of the government in

mile of government land being thrown
open TO public settlement and mile of
wire fence rolled up that has been
used to enclose the public domain.
one stockman alone rolled up seven
miles of fence that he had been using
around government land.
The throwing open of this land H.
bound to have beneficial effect upon
the settlement of the country. The
stockmen who have been using this
land Illegally for their cattle are COM

SOON 10 BEGIN
SETTING STAKES
Engineer Seth Dean Expects
10 Gel Busy Oil Drainage


Ditch Within len Days.
Setting stakes for the new
drainage ditch system which
Pottawattamic and Harrison
counties arc TO build jointly
will begin within the next ten
days. Engineer Seth Dean of
Glenwood expects to begin on
the route of the Allen creek
ditch at it's head north of Mis-
souri, Valley. The next work
will be on the Boyer river cut
off No. 2, which begins in Har-
rison county southeast of Mis-
souri, Valley and extends into
Pottawattamie. These sections
of the ditch system have been
let to different contractors, and
|
both will thus be enabled to
start digging.
Engineer Dean will be out
with four to six men putting
down stakes 100 feet apart in
four rows. the inner ones indi-
eating where the banks are to
be and those on the outside linn
iting the BERN or flood bed,
with a secondary embankment
raised above it. The stakes
will project eight inches above
ground, and farmers will there
by know where not to plant
crops.
Provision must be made for
fourteen bridges to be built in
Harrison county and two to be
moved in Pottawattamie where
the ditch routes cross public
roads. This task will fall on
the engineer and his assistants
who will also have to go over
the work as it is done, once a
month or oftener, for the pur-
pose of taking measurements
and submitting estimates on
payments to the contractors.
The latter will work down
stream, and the contracts re-
quire them to maintain the
the bitches in their rear at the
specified width and depth until
finished.
