"Wheat Kings"

There will hardly be any widespread
sorrow oyer the new ruling Of the
interior department, which compela
the farmers who lease Indian lands
to dwell on them. says the Portland
Oregonian. 1t will have the effect Of
reducing the acreage held by wheat
kings and of increasing the number
of small farmers, an advantage too
obvious to require explanation. AS
stated in Pendleton dispatch In the
Oregonian, the importance OF this
ruling may be realized when II Is un.

there is not a single house. II will
mean the cutting up Of the big hold
ings into smaller holdings and the In
vasion of the reservation by a more
humble class of growers and the
crowding out of the big wheat kings"
The present season has offered an
excellent illustration of the advant-
ages of farming on small scale as
compared with what is generally
known as bonanza farming" Prac-
tically all of the damage suffered by
the wet weather In the interior wheat
fields was ON the big farms, where the
scarcity of labor made II impossible

In the Willamette Valley, which 30
years ago was producing nearly all of
the wheat grown in Oregon, diversified
farming has reached a stage where
not infrequehtly ten families are found
on single quarter section that was
once devoted to wheat growing and
each OF the ten farmers Is making
more money out of his small farm
than the farmer wheat growers made
out of the entire quarter section when
it was devoted TO wheat growing.
What the Pacific northwest needs Is
more permanent residents to take the
place Of that wandering army which
drifts in at harvest time and drifts out
again when harvest Is over. The rul.

Catch CODj NO BAIT
INVENTION OF FISHERMAN MAY
REvOLUTlCNizE INDUSTRY.
Old Salt at Gloucester Has a Device
Called "the Jigger" Which May
Mean a Great Saving to the
New Englanders.

Gloucester, Mass.-Capt. Angus
Hines, a weather-beaten fisherman,
has invented a new method of captur-
ing cod without bait that promises to
revolutionize the fishing industry of
New, England. All along the coast.
from Maine to Cape Cod, the baitless
method Of taking cod has become a
topic Of interest,
For hearty u score CT years the cost
Of salted clans. squid and eels and
other cod bait has been an important
factor In reducing the profits of New
England fishermen.
Captains Of fishing schooners that
aail from Boston, Cape Ann and Cape
Cod haYe been obliged to fill their
vessels holds with bait in barrels be-
fore proceeding to the fishing grounds.
The salted clans have to be shipped
from Maine for this purpose Often
days are spent on the fishing grounds
IN capturing squid for bait.
Capt. Hines, who recently sailed in
to Gloucester In his vessel, the Annie
M. Parker, with $4,000 pounds of
cod. a record load created sensation
among fishing concerns by catching
fully half this cargo by means of his
latest tangled device for Turing the
cod from the depths.
Capt. Hines. when he started for
Sable island in May, carried 140 bar.
rels OF salted clans for bait. Before
returning he threw so barrels over.
board and gave away 20 barrels to
other fishermen.
This new device fol taking fish has
been named "the jigger." It consists
OF nodded fsh-shaped piece OF
shiny lead, about eight inches long.
from the head of which projects
pair OF big hooks.
When Capt. Hines arrived on the
fishing grounds at Sable island last
May he discovered that the schools
of fish were slow to take the clam
bait Instead, the cod seemed to be
pursuing the herring which infested
the waters.
Confronted with this problem, the
captain set to work to solve 1t. 1t was
impossible to obtain herring enough
for bait, aud the thought struck him
that device made to deceive the cod
would solve his troubles.
With piece of lead the captain
fashioned little fish oyer the upper
ends of two large cod hooks and
threw the device overheard at the end
of a line as an experiment.
A cod snapped at the jigger and
was hauled aboard the dory. Another
and another were caught by the same
method in rapid succession. Immedi.
ately the crew of 21 on Capt. Hines
vessel set to work modelling jiggers.
In another day the men were busy
hauling aboard scores of cod caught
by the new device.

WINS AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Heir to Valuable Estate Is Victorious
in Suit Begun Long Ago.

Laconia, N. H.-After 20 years of
successful search and litigation, L. s.
Cram has returned from Crossville.
Tenn. and resumed work in a factory
of the Crane Manufacturing company.
The litigation was over valuable Ten
nessee property. From Mr.. Cram II is
learned that nearly 20 years ago
while looking over papers belonging
to the late Robert Cram, his great
uncle, a broker in New York city, he
found some documents relating to
land In Tennessee, which had not been
taken into account at the time of the
settlement Of his uncles estate.
Mr.. Cram learned that his uncle had
purchased of physician, DR.. Evans
who owned $4,000 acres Of land in
Tennessee, two tracts of 5000 acres
each. for which he had paid the sum
of $4,000. He later sold one of these
tracts. Further investigation showed
that the Evans heirs, having no knowl.
edge of the original sale to Cram. sold
the entire Evans estate. This fact has
given rise to no end of litigation and
trouble.
The heirs, &C in number, scattered
through all parts OF the United States,
and Alaska, were hunted up, one by
one. by Cram, but without exception
they refused to take an active part in
the investigation of the claim, and the
brunt of the battle fell upon the
shoulders of the New Hampshire man.
He believed he had a good title and
fought various large companies in the
courts. The heirs are now in posses.
sion Of the premises, which are said
to be very valuable.
Some 20 or more families of the
poor white" class occupy portions of
the Cram land. Cram says there is
no intention of dispossessing these
squatters, but they will be given clear
titles to the land they are now occu.
pying under certain conditions.
