As Senator Fulton will soon
visit our city for the purpose of
meeting the people and ascertain
their desires in matters of legis-
lation, The Times-Herald would
suggest that we take up the
proposition of an experiment
farm with him. This great relig-
Gus weeklp has called attention to
this matter before and Is firmly
convinced that if properly placed
before the department of agri-
culture it can be accomplished.
There is certainly great need for
such a farm here rs none of those
maintained in other sections are
so typical of Eastern Oregon
climate and soil. They are Of
lower altitude or more fortunate
ly situated as to water fot irri-
gazing purposes. These as wei.
rs other reasons we might name
make them OF no practical bene-
tit to the Harney country. Even
an experimental farm that serves
conditions of Homey county alone
wovld be of great benefit and
cover n larger territory than any
of those already established in
the Northwest. The Times-Her-
aid understands the department
is committed 10 such a policy and
1t is only justice 10 this section
that we have one. Our public
land is fast being taken up by a
desirable class of people who are
farmers but who perhaps are not
familiar with a new wild country.
Their first work is necessarily ex-
perimental 10 a certain extent.
They must guess at the best
methods 10 persue, as well as the
particular kinds of crops 70 at
tempt 10 raise. They also have
other disadvantages that do not
confornt new settleas in districts
that have been farmed or are
near transportation and markets. .
These new settlers are entitled 10
consideration and il is 10 our in
terests 70 give toem whatever aid |
possible in making a success of
farming and the development of I
the Great Harney Country.
The Times-Herald hopes our
local people will realize the i'm
yortance Of this movement and
will make a united effort TO make
our demand successful. The de-
partment Of agriculture will GER
talnly recognize this section when
It's vast territory is taken into
and the proposition
placed before it with clearness.

lieye in asking for lot of things

evidence that murder had been com mitted. Under the calm, cold charge of the judge his defense fell away into nothngness. The jury found him guilty. Madeline was taken home in state of collapse and before the law executed it's vengeance on Aram she was no more.
 The night before Aram's execution Wal ter went to his cell and begged him to make a full confession-to tell him as he hoped for salvation if. in his desire to avenge his father he. Walter. had worked needless woe on those whom he loved and brought an innocent man to death. or whether he was indeed right in what he had done
 Then Aram made a confessioin. He had been tempted by Houseman to the robbery of Godfrey Lester, but the murder had been done by Houseman.
 ''I saw" said he. "a great future open ing before me, but the deep poverty in which l then was precluded all idea of my carrying out the researches and in Vestiga tions in which l was engaged.

Houseman, be- cause he had turned Kings evidence, arraigned and discharged after giving his testimony. Then Aram, who had insisted on acting as his own counsel, made his defense. Madeline, pale and worn, and dressed in the garments in which she was to have been married, was in the court room It had been expected that Aram would pick to pieces the story of House. man, would mpeach his testimony in ev- cry way and explain all that was doubt full in his connection with Clarke and the hlghwayman.
 But instead he devoted himself to n scholarly exposition of the finding of buried bones in caves, and ridiculed the next day I received news of the death of my aunt and of the legacy that was sufficient for all my wants. My share of the plunder of Clarke I buried in the earth-and for ought I know 1t is there now. But one thing I require of you.

 It was some years later when q sun Drowned traveller of miltay bearing rode over the hills into Grassdale and stopped to look at the deserted manor house. 1 Dead and gone said the old caretaker

he called loudly for the domestics to come and scrub the bloodstains out of the noor, wildly urging them to hasten in their work, and now and then exclaiming fiercely: More water, l say. Will you let the stagnant gore ooze and rot into the borads? Water, more water, to wash out the stains!'
 few days after the attempted rob- bery. the squire received letter from Walter which filled him with the livellest anticipations of at last getting news of his lost. brother He had given his nep- hew letter of introduction to an old friend of his whom he described as a rolllckng fellow Yes, Walter" he had said mot a merrier rogue in England than Squire Courtland." Walter stopped at the little town where Courtland lived but before visiting his house chanced to step into a saddler's shop, where his eye fell on a riding whip bearing his own family crest on the handle. Looking clos CT, he saw beneath the crest his fathers initials.
 All the saddler could remember was that the whip had been left there about 14 years before by stranger who stopped over night at Squire Courtland's. Repair ing to the hall. Walter was well received by his fathers old friend. but time had changed the rocking Courtland into q confirmed hypochondriac and the youth S visit was short. When he mentioned the incident of the riding whip Courtland told him that fourteen or fifteen yeas before his father. travelling under the name of Clarke, had stopped with him on his way to York shire where, he said. he was going to re- ceive legacy left him by colonel Courtland had forgotten the name-whoss life he had saved in India. He had not heard of him since.
 Walters letter told all this. and added that he now was on hls way to Yorkshire following this slight clue.
 While Squire Lester was reading Wal ter's letter Aram was eloseted with a noble lord, one of His Majesty's minis ters of state. This great man had once tried to lure the scholar from his retire. ment and attach him to his party. And now Aram was saying: My lord, the tempting offer you made me some time since I still do not see my way to accept To do so would destroy for me forever the charm of that studious retirement for which 1 feel I am best fitted. When men once plunge into the great sea of human toll and passion they soon wash away all zest and love for innocent enjoyments What once was a soft retirement becomes the most intolerable monotony. But pen sions are sometimes granted to students and men of letters, and one of those I would willingly accept-nay. l ask for one. My wants are small, but small as they are they must be supplied If l am to continue my researches"
 My dear Aram," replied the minister, "consider the thing done How much would suffice you?'
 Aram named a sum so small that his lordship exclaimed at his moderation. urged him, but in vain, to take twice the sum- and dismissed him with the assur- ance that he would attend to the matter at once.
 From the house of the minister Aram went to a street near the river in one of the most squalld sections of Lambeth and

 As Walter was on his way to Knares- l borough to make a more careful inVesti l gation he and his attendant, the doughty l Corporal Bunting, overlook a man whose 1 horse, weary with long and hard travel
 was staggering and seemed unable to | carry the rider further
 "For Gods sake, sir said the stranger, l "lend me your horse. My child is dying

 "Vilain" exclaimed Walter. looking l hard at the man, q remember you" The 1 stranger was Houseman and Walter had l cause to remember him. Before House l man went to London to meet Aram, he | and his wild companions had done It, | tie business" by waylaying Walter on | the road, robbing him and leaving him 1 senseless from the blow of a pistol butt, | The spells had been meagre as the Cor l poral had made off to a nearby town Tor | assistance. taking with him the saddle l bags In which most of Walters money 1 was contained.
 l The young man had not been injured | seriously and when he wrote to his uncle 1 of the circumstance said that the only 1 thing he regretted was that the thieves 1 had taken the purse Ellinor had knitted 1 for him and begged that she make him | another.
 Walters first thought on recognizing 1 Uouseman as one of his assailants was l to seize him and turn him over to the l nearest magistrate; but the mans dis 1 tress was evidently so genuine and his | agony so great that. in spite of the fact | that the rascal admitted himself to have
 been one of the two highwaymen and in | q tt,. cf af ha l the generous young man exchanged
 horses with him and bade him go un- harmed.
 Walter found the horse left safely al | the inn. where he learned the name of l the man and also that he was an old res
 ident of the place He also found that | his story of dying child was true. | During the next few days the young
 man gathered here and there that when i, Clarke had disappeared there had been | some talk of foul play in which the name | of Houseman and Eugene Aram had been l mixed up. Aram and Houseman had ] been much together-which was account | ed for by their being relatives-and | Uouseman and Clarke had been bosom | friends and fellow jewellers during thf ] latter's stay in Knaresborough.

 But all these were old stories almos

knocked at the door of dilapidated house. The next minute he sat in a dinsy and dirty rom alone with Houseman, the highwayman and burglar. A single can dle shed it's rays over the high and com posed features of the scholar and the dissipated, reckless features of the pro- fessional criminal.
 "I gave you" Aram was saying, the sum agreed upon as the price of your leaving the vicinity of Grassdale. Here are G3O0 pounds more. It is well for you that you were not one of those who broke into Lesters house that night. And bad for me- perhaps. For had l seen you then, my aim could not have been missed, and I would have freed myself from you forever. I have sold my annuity, or rather transferred it to you, to be paid as long as you stay out of England. shall exepect you to be In France within two days"
 "Yes. yes" replied Houseman, but l must go down to-you know the place and get my daughter first. Poor. little motherless thing! If 1t were not for her, Eugene Aram, I would stay in England only for the sake of being a torment to you But the little girl must be brought up right She must never know she has a criminal for father. Yes. yes, in some foreign land I will bring her up to re- speetable life
 With scarcely word more Aram haughtily left the miserable habitaton. and the next day returned to Grassdale and his promised bride. The government pension and the remaining half of Mad elines dowry would suffice for his wants, and he looked forward to freedom for eyer from the menace of Houseman' s presence and new happiness in the con stant companionship of Madeline.

 The housebreaker seized the letter and read it hurriedly Then he broke forth into wild lamentations: My child ill- dying. Curse upon you, hag! My chlld my pretty Jane. I will seek her. What is money? Whats ease. if-" and he rushed from the house.
 Meanwhile Walter, pursuing his inqli- ries. had finally placed the matter of his quest in the hands of a lawyer of York who. ascertained that certain Colonel Elmore, who had been in India, had died about the time Godfrey Lester had wis ited Squire Courtland and had left a leg acy of considerable amount. together witf the lease of house at Knaresborough where he lived. to man named Clarke It was also ascertained that Clarke turnef everything into cash and had borrowed from the Colonel's brother gems of con siderable value, taking them home wit, him under pretense of examining then with a view to purchase.

the future ownership of the famous Sc

AT present the property is in the
hands of a receiver, George w. Parks,
of Salt Lake City, with an indebtedness
of over 100000. The stock, which has
been sold, is worcestershire, and as it
has been extremely hard to sell stock
the past few months, ready cash is
almost out of the question. 1t is
thought the men at the mine will be
able to make their report in about thir-
ty days, and if it should be favorable,
it is reported that the present stock
holders will make a voluntary contri-
button of enough per share to clear up
the entire debt and still hold their
claim to the property.
Today two mill experts arrived and
will leave for the property at once.
They, too, will make a thorough ex-
animation as to the best treatment of
the ore and submit their report to the
officials of the company at about the
same time the report from the mine
is to be filed.
