AFTER CATTLE THIEVES.
Earl Steen Of Lewiston. Taken at En-
terprise, Ore.

Lewiston, Sept. ia warrant for
the arrest of Earl Steen, charged
with the theft of the Madden and
Kettenbach cattle from the Salmon
river range several months ago, was
issued yesterday and Deputy Sheriff
Charles Workman left for Enterprise,
Ore, to take Steen into custody.
From information available It ap-
pears that Steen is a prominent stock
man in the eastern Oregon section
and in company with other parties
purchased over 100 cattle in the up
per Clearwater country. While driv.
ing through the Salmon river section
the Madden and Kettenbach stock
were gathered into the herd and TAX
en- to the summer range of the Blue
mountains.
The stolen cattle were followed to
the crossing of Snake river and af
terwards into the Blue mountains
where some of the stock was fount
with the cattle purchased by Steen.

WOMAN CHERRY GROWER.
Gresham Woman Scores Well as an
Orcharllist.

More than $500 were the gross re-
ceipts realized from the cherry crop
alone this year on the A. 7. Webb
farm, in this county, located about 1g
miles east OF Portland near Gresham,
says the Oregon Daily Journal. The
fruit commissioners and other men,
bers of the horticultural board are
pointing with pride at this example
of the results of enterprise on an Or
egon farm which cannot be said es-
pecially to possess peculiar advanta-
ges as to location.
The entire cherry crop was taken
by Portland commission merchants.
Mark Levy & Co. and Davenport
Thompson company. The net receipts
were over 5000 per acre. There are
nine acres in the orchard and the crop
was not phenomenal one. 1t is true
the trees are the best varieties, being
almost entirely the Bing and Lambert,
the two best sellers.
Furthermore, the farm is managed
by a woman. Miss Clara Webb has
| taken charge of the big farm since
the death not long ago of her father,
A. T. Webb. Besides the cherry crop
the farm will yield other big incomes
on account of up-to-date methods and
businesslike management.

ALFALFA IN THE VALLEY.
Successful Experiment at State Ex
pertinent Farm.

Thirty-eight tons of alfalfa hay
from one acre of ground in six years
is the record made by an experiment
out on the Oregon agricultural farm.
The acre of land Is below the aver
age wheat land used by the oregon
farmers. being situated on a high
point and rolling land, says Cor
wallis paper.
In the 22 crops cut from this one
acre the yield in green alfalfa has
been 22S,506 pounds, or 3S tons OF
cured hay. Each year the land has
been treated with 100 pounds of land
plaster, costing 60 cents per 100, and
two light dressings of barn yard fer
tilizer have been applied.
Three crops have already been cut
this season, and another crop is COM
ing on. The new college barn is tc
be located on this acre tract, which
will convert the alfalfa patch into q
barnyard.
The yield from this acre of ground
is example and proof enough to con
vince Willamette valley farmers thai
alfalfa can be profitably grown II
right methods are employed.

Shall the proposition of a gravity
water system for Pendleton be voted
upon at the coming city election? :?
Under the initiative and referendum
law it may be laid before the people
OF the city II sufficient interest is
manifested in the subject.
That a gravity system would be
desirable there can be but little doubt,
for 1t has long been recognized that
the present water suppl yis not all
that it should be. At times the quail
ity of the water has not been good,
while on the north side the people
have been inconvenienced through
shortage in the supply.
Though an additional main is now
being run across the river and extra
feeder lines are being laid above the
water works to increase the supply
| lieve that Pendleton will never have
really enough water until it has a
gravity system.
To install gravity system would
cost in the neighborhood of $250,000,
| which amount would have to be rails
ed through a bond sale authorized
by vote of the people. In view of the
fact that the city has had some diff
ficulty in disposing Of its s135,000
bond issue 1t is argued by some that
now is poor time for proposing an
additional debt.
| However, there is little doubt but
that the bonds will be readily dispos-
ed of when offered locally and doubt
less the eastern situation will soon be
bettered to such an extent that bonds
may be disposed of there.
| Should the proposition of a gravity
system be left to a vote of the people
the chances are the measure would
carry, for the idea is a popular one
and during the past summer there
has been much complaint regarding
the present supply. Whether or not
the question will come to a vote al
the city election in December remain:
to be seen.
If it is to be passed upon then ad.
vocates of the plan will have to gel
busy soon or 1t will become too late
to have the subject placed upon the
ballot. ..

HARVESTING BEAN CROP.
Unique Industry Thrives in Northern
Idaho.

Harvesting the big bean crop is now
occupying the attention of the farm
ers on American ridge, south of Troy,
Idaho. Several hundred acres of beans
are now thrown in the windrow await
ing a period of weather dry enough
to warrant stacking them for thresh-
ing.
Continued showers and damp. un-
certain weather has delayed the bean
harvest until some damage is feared.
The farmers of this and other ridges
tributary to this city are devoting more
attention to this industry each year,
until at present the ouput of American
| ridge alone will be about a trainload.
Fields already threshed are aver
| aging about nine sacks per acre, the
| prevailing price heretofore bringing
growers 3k cents per pound. In ad-
dition to their being a profitable crop,
they are grown by many farmers on
soil that would otherwise be summer
| fallowed.

NORTH COAST TO AsoTIN.
Right of Way Being Purchased for
Proposed Route.

According to a report from Spokane
the belief that the North Coast rail-
way, with its elaborate system of lines
projected and building in Washington,
Is to be made part of some great rail-
way system-perhaps the Northwest
ern-is strengthened by the announce
ment that the North Coast will build
line from Walla Walla to Asotin,
near the extreme southwestern corner
of the state, says the Walla Walla Bull
letin.
This latest move on the part OF
Robert E. Strahorn, president of the
North Coast, is taken as indicating
more strongly than most of his previ-
Gus operations, that he Is making ar
rangeemnts to connect with the North
western railway and 1t would require
only a comparatively short line to
connect from Asotin to the latter sys-
tenn. q.
Buying Right Of Way.
A Tacoma report states that the
North Coast has completed purchases
of the right of way for Its line from
Walla Walla to Asotin and that con-
tracts for the construction Of this
branch will be awarded within few
weeks. NJ. NJ. Taylor, formerly OF Ia
coma, who now operates banks a
Connell and Hatton, has had charge
of the purchase of the right OF wa!
for the Walla Walla-Asotin branch.
1t is stated that Mr.. Taylor has ex
pressed the belief to a few Intimate
friends in Tacoma that the Norti
Coast is now preparing to connec
with the Chicago & Northwestern, AM
THAT 1t will build east from Asoti
when the branch line to that plac
is completed.
A significant fact in this connection
; is that local conditions do not justif
the building of a railroad from Wall
, Walla to Asotin. The branch line,
; projected, will run through a sectiol
from which little local traffic can b
expected, but in connection Wit
: President Strahorn's projected lines
affords the Northwestern the shortes
: line to the coast through the state
j Washington of any transcontinenta
b. line.
