What were the conditions of the "am-
icable agreement?" What was the
cause which brought about this fam

The rapid development in irrigation
continues unabated. The east as we'll
as the west is beginning to learn of the
reclamation of the seml-arid lands
through the big irrigation projects aud
one and all rejoice when new scheme
is projected for bringing additional
land under cultivation. 1t has been
said that the best gift of irrigation is
not the assurance that it insures good
crops, not the increased yield that it
brings. not even the reclamation of
barren lands to profitable agriculture,
but the greatest gift is the demonstra-
tion of the superior profitableness of
the small farm, acre for acre, as COM
pared with the big farm and of the
greater prosperity which comes to
every interest in the nation from the
multiplication of small farms. In the
Milton -Freewater district and under
the governments great project at Echo
and Hermiston. this country s offerings
to the home builder are paramount.

Funston was ordered to Cuba, he re-
quested authority to purchase in an
emergency. fifty cavalry horses at $3.50
head. The department refused, be-
cause of the contract which the gov
ernment had made for such horses at
500 a head. On account of the
scarcity of horses, animals suitable
for the cavalry are now worth about
$140 a head. The demand for horses
this season ought to open the eyes OF
horse growers as to the sort of stock
it is profitable 20 breed. Though we
often hear the remark that small
team is best for all purposes, the fact
remains that rs per cent Of the horse
buyers that are securing the country
are looking fer good sized horses. and
they are willing to pay almost any
kind of price to get heavy draft horses.
Umatilla county needs heavy brood
mares; and if one had the price to i'm
port hundred such animals, it would
mean fortune to the importer in a
few years.
