Since many Oregon farmers are
seeking cheaper wheat lands else
where, the following report on the
wheat growing industry from Ameri-
can Consul Victor L. Duhaime of
Saltillo, Mexico, will be interesting.

WHEAT GROWING IN MEXICO ATTRACTS
AMERICANS

pal food for the animals, there being
no hay raised here. Owing to some
peculiarity Of the soil it contains
sufficient nutritive element to replace
hay in feeding stock, on which they
thrive and keep in good healthy con-
dition. The price OF wheat straw
ranges from $40 to $50 Mexican cur
rency ts5 to $40 United States cur
rency) per ton, owing to its abund-
ance and proximity to market.
The duty on imported wheat was
removed entirely during the first six
months Of this year, and during this
period the importation was much
larger than any previous year The
importation OF American wheat into
Mexico during the last IL months
amounted to 100000 gold, DEM
on strating that this is the nearest
available market for American wheat.
The supply here is never equal to the
demand, and this will prove a profit
able field for American wheat export
ers. The railroads entering Mexico
are all of the standard gauge and are
fully equipped for handling and
prompt delivery without change to
points of delivery.

OF the delicate and difficult task
of securing Indian pictures Major
Moorhouse says:
Years of close friendship, assoc "a
ton and confidence are necessary to
secure photographs from the western
Indian tribes. They are extremely
superstitious, and strangers may
spend weeks before getting a picture
worth developing. The women and
children have specially strong
prejudice toward the camera, and it
is not at all uncommon to see them
turn their backs upon the amateur
photographer who goes among them
swapping promiscuously.
"On the reservation in their native
surroundings the Indians are stolid,
taciturn, naughty and unyielding
toward the stranger who goes among
them with his Photographic outfit. 1t
is well-nigh' impossible to secure con-
sent to photograph an Indian unless
the artist is vouched for by some one
in the confidence Of the Indian.
And after you once have gained
the entire confidence of the Indian
the trouble has only actually begun.
Although the Indian wears but few
garments, yet each must be in exact
place, without. a flaw, wrinkle or
crooked line. The hair must be ar
ranged in the most fastidious man.
ner; the moccasins must be immacu-
late and the clothes just so. 1t re-
quires at least three hours for an In
dian woman to prepare properly to
have her picture taken. If a white
woman took as long a time in pro-
portion to the number of garments
worn, 1t would require day to prop
erly array her for a pose"

HOMER DAVENPORT WRITES OF HARRY

Homer Davenport, the well known
Oregon cartoonist, writes an analyti-
cal sketch Of Harry Thaw's phreno-
logical makeup, for the New York
World Mail, as follows:
l have never seen person just like
Harry Thaw.
l have seen several people charged
with similar crimes. but none like
Thaw. There Is darkness In his
face. coupled with a bad shaped head,
which forms a dangerous contbina-
ton.
Theodore Durant. a degenerate of
San Francisco, killed girls and hid
them in a church steeple, where the
bell az 1t tolled almost scraped their
nude bodies. Looking at Durant,
with his hair as long as g. football
players, aside from a small, pinched
ear and peculiar brow, you saw no
traces of the monster he was shown
to he. But when his hair was cut,
an operation which he fought to pre-
vent. all was revealed.
Holmes, the Philadelphia murderer,
who killed men, women and children
for insurance policies, showed his
criminal instincts in his weak face
and childlike back head. His mur-
ders were accomplished by locking
people in rooms and starving them
TO death.
Harry Thaw is different from either
of these men. His attorneys may be
able to show that his motive for kill
ing White was perfectly justifiable.
would, however, just like to see the
shape of his back head under his
loose hair.
Harry Thaw is tall and slightly
stopped. His head. even with long
hair, is curiously shaped. 1t is very
high at the peak of the crown, where
there is "cowlick" that makes 1t
hard to brush II down.
His head drops rapidly to the top
of his forehead. where the hair is

A Big Tunnel Problem.

FL Taso, Mexico. Feb. 4.-One OF
the most interesting features now en-
gaging the attention Of the scientific
world is the digging Of the tunnel
through the Ration mountains in
New Mexico, about 116 miles north of
Los Vegas. The work was started to-
dav and will take several years to
complete. The second tunnel is to be
dug straight under this mountain
about $50 feet below the old tunnel.
Its purpose is to avoid steep grades
on the approach to the mountain and
will be the steepest grade in this
country. The present tunnel is about
a mile and a half long but the new
one will be over three miles long.

Saltillo, Mexico, will be interesting.
He says:
In this consular district alone the
crop for this year is estimated to be
about 100000 bushels. The yield
generally averages from 10 to Is
bushels to the acre. Winter red
wheat is sown in October and the
crop gathered the following May or
June. The quality compares favora-
bly, with United States wheat. The
price ranges from $3.50 to SO per
huehel Mexican currency (S1.25 to
s1.50 United States currency. About
one-third of this crop Is grown by
irrigation. The wages paid to work.
men for harvesting ranges from rs
cents to 81 a day Mexican currency
(37h to so cents United States cur
rency).
This branch OF agriculture is yet
entirely in the hands of Mexican
ranchmen. Owing to the introduc-
tion OF modern agricultural imple-
ments the area is being increased
each year. The large steam plows.
cultivators, threshers and engines,
and almost every kind of improved
farming machinery now aid in the
preparation of a greater amount of
virgin soil, not undertaken before
owing to the crude facilities.
This improved system of economic
cultivation by labor-saving machin-
cry has proved to be so profitable
and attractive that land owners are
branch of agriculture with much more
energy and activity, Consequently
the value of agricultural land is ad-
vancing appreciably and the farming
sections are becoming more thickly
settled and prosperous. Travelling
modern steam threshing machines are
in general use.
Thriving Flour Milling Industry.
In this vicinity there are six mod
ern rolling mills running by steam
and nine stone mills operated by
water power. The flour they produce
is Of an excellent quality and finds a
ready sale in all parts of the republic,
so much so that a large amount of
wheat is imported here from the
United States, keeping these mills in
constant operation day and night to
supply the demand for the fine grade
of flour which this locality has ac-
qulred a reputation for. 1t is ship
ped In burlap sacks, two bags con-
tanning about 200 pounds or one bar
rel of flour, the demand usually ex-
ceeding the supply.

In the assessors office, the as
SCISSOR and deputies are working
full time. At this time Assessor
Conner is working on the com.
pilation and fixing of property

as from the Dalles office. The
purchase of school lands from the
state will also add considerable in
swelling the tax roll of Morrow

The new law makes more work
in the office of the asses or. 1t is
now necessary for the assessor or a
deputy to personally visit every

TWO NEW
ROADS
will Add to Heppner,s Tranlc and
bO a Great Convenience to
Many People.

The new road which has Just
been opened up coming into the
civ limits near The Stevenson
place in the lower part of town
will be great convenience for
people com ,ng to the city from the
south and west. The new road
will connect with what is known
as the ridge road coming from the
south. The grade Of the new
thoroughfare will not exceed nine
per cent at the steepest point.
For thu Eight Mile country and
western part of the county it will
open up a much better and more
direct route especially to the de-
pot and warehouses in this city.
The road will avoid the neces-
sity of pulling up to Heppner Flat
and also save a distance of about
three miles as we'll as lot of
steep grade which will be appre-
ciated by the wheat and wool
haulers.
Another new road which was
surveyed short time ago by Sur
veyor Heath and which is now be-
ing worked, starts at the Bisbee
place in the southern part OF the
,ity, climbing the bill to Heppner
Flat and connecting with what is
known as the Henry Gay road.
This will reduce the grade for
the people coming from the south
and southwest.
