ONE HUNDRED SIXTY ACRES.
Perhaps Less, Is Enough for an Aver.
age Family.

That a man and his family can live
well and make money In Umatilla
county with but 100 acres or less for
q farm, is proven by the case Of Geo.
Fiebner of Stanley creek, who has
been in town today. Mr.. Fiebner has
a homestead claim on Stanley creek,
a branch of Birch creek, and lives 13
miles south of Pilot Rock. Today he
came to town for the purpose OF ne
gotiating with the local creamery for
the sale of the cream from a small
herd of dairy cows, and brought with,
him a sample box of Strawberries
raised on his ranch. The berries are
of a good variety and compare well
with those raised In the Hood River
valley.
have less than a fourth Of an acre
in strawberries this year, and have
already sold $50 worth from the
patch," said Mr.. Fiebner in answer to
inquiries. He also predicts that he
will sell at least $40 more before the
crop is gone.
The ranch upon which Mr.. Fiebner
and his family live was taken by him
10 years ago, and he has made no
effort to enlarge his holdings, as he
says he can be more than kept busy
in caring for what land he has. He
irrigates part of the place and devotes
his time to conducting q small dairy,
raising potatoes, fruits, etc. He says
| he does not have to market his pro-
ducts, as the people from the south
end of the county come to his place
to buy them from him. But when the
| Pilot Rock branch road is completed
he looks forward to even better times,
and believes that diversified farming
will then be more profitable than
now. In the course of time he believes
that hundreds of farms similar to his
will line the creeks and rivers In this
county, for he says fruit and vege-
tables can be readily raised If due care
Is taken.
In view of the general tendency TO-
wards monster wheat ranches which
now prevails in the county it is unu
sual to find a man farming as Mr.
Fiebner does; but the fact that ht
has made a success of 1t indicates
what may be expected in the years t.
come, when people from the crowded
sections of the middle west and eas
become more numerous in this section
and farm the country for what II
worth.

THE NAVAJOS AS SHEEPMEN.
Arizona Indians Own 100000 Head Of
Healthful Sheep.

The Central Navajos own about
100000 head of sheep and all these
are being dipped according to govern
ment regulations, says a sheep jour-
nal. All through Arizona the dipping
Of flocks is about completed.
Disease is almost unknown among
the sheep owned by the Navajos, ex-
cept around the borders Of the terri
tory, where the sheep come in con-
tact with those of New Mexico. The
reason for this, is the peculiar nature
of the Navajos' sheep, which are more
like goats than New Mexico sheep
and no less subject to the scabies.
The method of sheep raising by the
Indians is primitive in the extreme,
They have no special time for shear
ing or lambing. When they want
wool for weaving blankets they go
out catch a sheep and sheer off as
WOOl llty hhSJ
the bucks to run with ewes the year
around.
Naturally they have no idea Of san
itary methods of caring for theil
flocks and whenever the government
inspector wishes to enforce some reg
ulation he has to call council of the
chiefs and explain to them all the
ways and wherefores Of the innova
ton. II the chiefs are convinced of
the advisability of conforming to the
government degree, there is no trou,
BILE with the rest of the tribe, fol
they seldom dispute the authority OF
their chiefs. If the chief says the
sheep must be dipped and the coerals
cleaned, the work is done.
The sheep industry among the Ma
vajos is carried on entirely by women

S. NJ. Brosius, secretary Of the In

visit to the Umatilla reservation yes
terday and left on the evening train

The visit OF Secretary Brosius to

Mr.. McNaughton, as his name signi-

ly scarcely likely to eXaggerate. He
has been visiting Clevedon, in Som

of a strange adventure. The Incl
dent was, he says, witnessed by many
spectators:
Mr.. McNaughton was quietly rowing
in little skiff about mile off the
Clevedon pier, when a large, snaky
object, which he describes as like q
hinge mummy, with large sunken eyes,
enveloped in a sort of harry flap" sud
denly appeared at the rear of the boat,
about twenty yards away
1t approached by a series Of leaps
and dives, causing the sea to be great

that by plunging the oars into the
surf he endeavored to keep his antag-
onist at bay.
But his efforts were only momen-
tarily successful. In g. >few seconds
it had reached within a few yards OF
the boat.
II can only disnly recollect what
happened" he continued. "The flabby
monster seemed to leap straight out

now in Los Angeles. Is al innovation
in Denver. The interior arrangements
leave almost nothing for the occupant
to do. Beds, tables. lounging seats.
book cases, desks and even gas stoves
will be so arranged in the walls that
by merely pressing button any one
of these will appear az If by magic
and disappear again at the will of the
tenant.
The arrangement Of the entrances
also will be entirely new, solving the
problem Of deliveries. There will be an
iron stairway up each side of the
building connected with each apart
ment SO that all deliveries can be
made without using the main entrance.
An elevator will be installed. and in
connection with each apartment there
will be storage room for the use Of
the tenant. The building, which will
be constructed Of white pressed brick,
will be of the Flemish type Of archi-
lecture and will consist of three sto-
ries and basement The latter will
be furnished in the most improved
style as a restaurant. Upward of $780,
600 will be expended in following out
the plans, and it is Mr.. Birney's aim to
make this novel apartment house an
ornament to the city.

Painting the Lily.

Fashion in flowers has taken freak
turn in Germany of late and there is
great demand in certain circles for
blooms of hues not found in nature.
The flowers are cut with extra long
stalks a few hours before they reach
full maturity Then the stalks are put
in water in which aniline dyes have
been dissolved. White carnations, ILL
mes and panses are the easiest to dye
and give the most ma tural results.
AS the stalk sucks up the water the
aniline pigment is carried thru all the
