DRY LAND VEGETABLES.
Soils Of Agency Plains Specially Adap
ted to the Growing of Root Crops.

w. A. Maddron brought to town
the first of the week some fine speci-
mems of vegetables grown on his place

Pioneer. Among the specimens was
a turnip 24h inches in circumference,
weighing four pounds and 10 ounces.

were yet green and not through grow

ually dry one, Mr.. Maddron sent his
brother turnip % inches in circum
ference, grown on his place. All OF
these were grown without irrigation.
Mr.. Maddron says that all root
plants do exceptionally we'll in tnis
soil, and he believes that this will, in
time, become a sugar-beet country
A. L. Williams. a neighbor of his
planted a small patch of ground to
sugar-beets this year and they are do

Maddron states they are as good as
he ever saw. Some of these beets will

ONE TRAIN
FOR DELEGATES
Or. n. 6. BIul0Ck Launches q
Novel Idea

Correspondence relative to the MAX
ing up of a train for the accOmmoda-
ton of delegates to the Fifteenth An
nual Irrigation congress, to be held
at Sacramento, from Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho, has passed between
Dr. n. G. Blalock and Governor Cham
berlain, and it is probable further
The governor expresses himself as
satisfied that the idea is a good one,
but thinks it would be rather hard 20
carry through. DR.. Blalock, however,
is disposed to believe it can be car
ried out. Providing sufficient. encour-
agement is given by the governors of
Washington and Idaho, he will head
the movement himself.
All Meet at Portland.
1t is the purpose to have cars leav-
ing different central points of the
states brought to Portland and there
made up into train. The cars will
be gaily decked with flags and ban
ners and the trip made gala affair.
The doctor wishes to correct a state
ment in one of the evening papers to
the effect that he appointed delegates
to the congress. He merely recon-
mends for appointment. The advan-
tages of being appointed delegate,
he says, are that only delegates can
obtain reduced rates to Sacramento
during the congress. Also delegates
will have special privileges at the
meetings and public entertainments.
Dr. Blalock is of the opinion that
Walla Walla will be represented at the
congress by $50 delegates.
