Importance with all the lovers OF the horse,
and while many Of them are stlll practi-
cally family affairs. whenever the public
has been invited the response has been
ready and the interests in that branch OF
the sport has constantly grown.
No matter what is decided by the larger
and older racing associations for next year,
one thing is certain. and that is the anna
tours will nave every opportunity to race.
The National steeplechase and Hunt ASSOC
citation, for the present year. gave official
recognition to forty-two hunts, and mar
others will apply for admission before the
season begins next spring. Naturally,

the sanction that goes with a recognition
from the governing body. except in a very
small and private manner. but many OF
them have conducted first-class meetings
and more will be in the field next year.

The wearing of orange blossoms Is
SO universal that II has become a
feature OF every smart wedding. II
is accounted for in different ways.
Among other stories is this popular
legend from Spain: An African king
presented a Spanish king a magnifi-
cent orange tree, whose creamy,
waXy blossoms and wonderful fra
GRANGE excited the admiration OF the
whole court Many begged in vain
for branch Of the plant, and a for
eign Ambassador was tormented by
the desire to Introduce SO great Gu
riosity to his native land. He used
every possible means to accomplish
his purpose. but all his efforts COM
ing to naught, he gave up in despair.
The fair daughter of the court. gar
dener was loved by a young artisan,
but she lacked the dowry which the
family considered necessary to a
bride. One day, CHANGING to break
off spray Of orange blossom. the
gardener thoughtlessiy gave 1t to his
daughter. Seeing the coveted prize
in the girls hair. the willy Ambassa-
dor offered her sum sufiicient for
the dowry, provided she gave him a
branch and said nothing about 1t.
Her marriage was soon celebrated,
and on her way to the altar, in CRATE
flil remembrance of the source of all
her happiness, she secretly broke of
another bit OF the lucky tree to
adorn her hair. Whether the poor
court gardener lost his head in con,
sequence OF his daughters teachery
the legend does not relate. but many
lands now know the wonderful tree
and ever since that wedding day or,
ange blossom has been considered O
fitting adornment for bride.

CROOK COUNTY GOOD CROPS
Indications Point to a Good Average
Yield of Hay and Grain.

Crook county will harvest good
crop of hay and grain this year, if
present indications hold out. Two
weeks ago discouraging reports were
heard from all parts Of the county be-
cause of the extremely cold spring and
the great number of windy days. Then
it was thought there would not be hay
enough to feed the teams. The pro-
spects for grain were thought to be
even worse. Now this is all changed.
Considerable rain has fallen and every
thing assumes new aspect. Sun.
shine was all that was needed and with
it came nights sufficiently warm to
prevent frost.
Ali the irrigated farms in the coun
try, without exception, will produce
an average crop. and the majority will
do much better.
The Crooked river and Ochoco val
leys with their tributaries are waving
green fields of alfalfa and grain. The
dry farms do not look so we'll, but
nearly all will produce remunerative
crops.
Fruit has suffered in some localities,
but fair crop is reported. Some OF
the orchards have not been touched by
the frost.
The general condition of the range
is good. Forest officials report good
grass for stock in the reserves. The
weather has been ideal fol- growing
purposes. Crook County Journal.
