Settlers Already OH Wallowa Reserve
to Settle Next Monday.
Now that the Heppner land tract
is disposed of, attention is being
turned to the Wallowa reserve which
will be thrown open for settlement
next Monday, September 80, says the
La Grande Observer.
Already many La Grande people,
most of them railroaders, have gone
into Wallowa county to look over the
field. There is a phase Of this OPEN
ing which the Heppner tract did not
have and that is the fact that people
have In some instances lived on these
tracts before they were thrown into
the reserve, and these 1t is expected
will be given preference and allowed
to file undisturbed. In few in
stances settlements have been made
after the tracts were isolated as re-
serves. but these will be annulled en-
tirely.
Parts of seven townships are in
cluded in this coming opening, but
the townships are scattered well
about the county, some in the west
ern. others In the north and many
in the eastern part of the wallowa
county.

VEGETABLES IN ALASKA.
Many Families at Seward Raise Ex.
cellent Gardens,

The Seward, Alaska, Gateway
speaks as follows of the productive
ness of the soil and the luxuriant
growth Of vegetation at Seward. which
Is situated at latitude h2, north:
Three miles north of Seward lie
two market gardens in which grow all
the ordinary vegetables that thrive
IN the northern states-potatoes, tur-
nips, carrots, rutabegas, peas, beans,
cauliflower cabbage, lettuce-nearly
all of unusual size.
This In spite of the fact that the
present summer has been cool and
rainy throughout, with infrequent and
short lapses of sunshine. In summers
when the sun shines most of the time
vegetation grows at rate which is
incredible to anyone who has not seen
the results.
In Seward also small gardens thrive
and many families raise their own
vegetables. or part of them. All the
flowers Indigenous to the northern
states are cultivated here and attain
great size and unsurpassed luster in
coloring.
The soil in which these vegetables

many OF those original users of the
range retired from the business rath-
er than engage in this struggle for
the grass.
And this accounts for the reduc-
ton of 10000 sheep on the John Day
river, already mentioned. At the
same time many cattlemen reduced
their herds, and some got up and left
the country. The outsiders being
the more aggressive, were left I'm the
majority on the range.
Forestry Policy Started.
At this juncture the department of
the forest reserve took control of
the range, found the invaders in pos.
session and not aware of all that had
preceded, confirmed their usurpation
and called and treated them as "prior
users"
Now when the reserve was thrown
open for application for allotments
we have reason to believe that these
outsiders, many of them, having had
previous experience with forest re-
serves, or being posted by those who
had, put in their application for more
stock than they had. Whereas, the
Grant county stockmen, in the spirit
of economy and hoping to be able to
utilize some range left out of the first
forest withdrawal, put in for only
part OF their stock. And so it hap
pens that the outside stockmen have
now-after the reduction has been
on the reserve for
a greater proportion of the stock
they own than the Grant county
stockmen.
This short review of the situation
affards a history that We hope may
INDUCE you to look upon the return of
the range to It's rightful users as a
more urgent matter and not one that
can wait and be brought about grad
ually by the falling out, one by one.
of the outside stockmen, which seems
to us postponing of it to a very dis
tant future.
And we trust that should any fur
ther reduction be considered neces-
sary, as is rumored, we at least of
Grant county will be exempt, espe-
cially when you bear in mind. n thing
that we have drawn your attention
to before. that many of these out
side stockmen are running their stock
on land that could be very profitably
turned to grain raising. and that we

sTOCKMEN Of GRANT COUNTY COMPLAIN
TO FORESTRY OFFICIALS

The following letter, written to A,
r. Potter, chief OF the grazing di-
vision Of the forest service, by the
advisory board of the Stock associa-
ton at Canyon City. September 2.
sets forth the grievance of Grant
county stockmen against the range
system, In answer to letter from
Mr.. Potter. The letter is as follows:
The extension of the grazing sea-
son to later period in the fall we
recognize as helpful concession to
the stock inductry.
We welcome the information that
the Blue Mountain national forest is
TO he redivided, and that the head
quarters of the middle division is to
he at John Day.
Referring to the closing clause of
your letter in answer to our request
that the Grant county stockmen have
the preferences in the use of the grass
within the meundaries of their coun-
try, you say: This is in harmony
with our policy. we are trying hard
TO do that very thing. But at first
we must treat the Blue mountain for
est as q unit, and make an equitable
division among prior users" With
reference to this we would like to lay
before you some facts which we think
are new to you and which we believe
are very cogent.
Reduced Herds of Sheep.
About 12 years ago--to take one
section-on the John Day river from
Prairie City to a point about six
miles below Mount Vernon, total
distance of 80 miles, nearly all the
old time ranchers, having the river
bottom ranches, were owners of
flocks of sheep, ranging from 1000
TO 5000, aggregating in all about TO-
600 sheep.
Today, on these same ranches there
are but 10000 head, reduction of
10000 sheep. What drove these
sheepmen out of business, many Of
them pioneers of the country who
had blazed out the trails and fought
back the Indians.
The answer is a hostile and forci-
Coming from long distances they
crossed the borders of our country,
paying no attention to prior range
users or to conserving the grass. Hav-
ing no settled camptendsrs, often
mluffing and sntimidating the set
tiers. On their way out In the fall
they would take slice of our winter
ranges.
For many years we tried in vain
to get legislation passed to help us,
but interests of outside sheepmen,
several counties against one, over-
come our efforts.
They even proved themselves un-
willing to pay any proportion Of their
taxes on their sheep over to our
county.
This invasion being so hostile and
forcible, as might be expected in
some instances. It was met by force

Praise for Evergreen Blackberry.

The formerly much despised ever
green blackberry is coming into popu-
lar favor by leaps and bounds and
from an obscure corner in country
lands 1t is being transplanted to the
fertile loan Of the shrubbery patches,
says the Salem Statesman. While It
has had its admirers among house,
wives noted for the great variety of
jellies to be found upon their shelves,
1t has remained for the fruitgrowers
OF our sister state, Washington, to
show us the value of fruit for COM
mercial purposes. And while the fruit
is not native to that climate and soil
as It is in the Willamette valley, it
has proven itself money maker in
the first rank.

TOM WATSON.

When the rural mail carriers met
in Atlanta last week they and the
people who had charge of the program
showed how incapable they were Of
appreciation. The man who has in
tina past done more for rural free
delivery than any other man in the
United States, and the man who is
really the father Of rural mail, was
entirely forgotten, absolutely ignored,
and during the entire convention his
name was not mentioned. Others
were present to address the conven-
ton who had nothing to do with Sc
curing to the farmers the daily mail,
but Tom Watson was not even invited
to be present as looker-on. It does
seem that the ones in charge in not
inviting Watson, or asking him to ad-
dress, or in some way take part in
the exercises, was a bold and daring
affront, and one which only people of
the type who know no better conld
be guilty Of. We hardly believe the
carriers themselves were responsible
altogether for this, but they are no
doubt in a measure to blame.
Whatever may have been the mo-
tive in treating Tom Watson as he
was treated, the fact still remains
that he has gone on record as the

The trusts are all an interloeking
system, fighting one does no good.
The way to relief is in fighting the sys-
tenn upon which all of them are based.
The people of Georgia have recently
found that out. The price of stoves,
which are manufactured in the South,
continued to rise. The manufactur-
ers said it was on account of high
freight rates. The people and the
manufacturers got the legislature to
reduce the rates 38 per cent, and the
Supreme Court sustained the reduc-
ton. Then the manufacturers, in
stead of reducing prices, raised them
per cent. The truth is that the
railroads got the greater part of the
extortionate price before the reduc-
ton, and row the manufacturers get
it. The extortion remains the same
or greater. This time it is the tariff
that the people will have to attack.
Let there be free trade in stoves and
the price will soon come down, pro-
viding that freight rates continue to
be regulated. Regulating the tariff or
freight rates singly will not do it

TEACHING AGRICULTURB.

With its Agricultural and Mechan-
cal college crowded beyond capacity
by students and with scores of 9TH
er clamoring for admittance, Texas
ought to be extremely interested in
the bill introduced in the House
of Representatives last March by
Representative Charles A. Davis, Of
Minnesota. The President referred
to this bill In his recent speech at
Keokuk and commended the plan Of
federal assistance to state govern
ments for the promotion of techni-
cal and agricultural training.
The principal points of the Davis
bill provide:
Payment by the government of a
total sum equal to 10 cents per cap
tia of population for each state and
territory, for the maintenance and in
struction in agriculture and home
economics in agricultural high schools
of secondary grade and instruction
In mechanic arts and home econom-
les in city high schools of secondary
grade.
That each state and territory ac-
cepting these funds pay the cost of
buildings and lands necessary for such
instruction and for instruction in all
general studies required to make we'll
rounded high school courses of study.
That there shall be paid to each
state and territory for the mainte-
nance Of bl anch agricultural stations
now established or which may here
after be established, $4,000 annually.
That each agricultural high school,
city high school and branch expert
menr station shall make a detailed
annual report of its operations to the
governor.
That the secretary Of agriculture
shall certify expenditures to the Sec
retary of the treasury and that the
secretary Of agriculture shall make
an annual report to congress on the
work Of the schools and experiment
stations.
Undoubtedly the Davis bill will
coma up again at the next session
Of congress and its course will be
watched with interest.-Ft. Worth
