In three years Alaska wheat will be
but memory"
Grown on Camas Prairie in Goa
M. l.. Martin, for many years en-
gagged in farming on Camas Prairie,
having examined Alaska wheat, states
that it is not a new variety but is what
is known as the seven-headed wheat.
Mr.. Martin says that in the early
'o0s, Louis Bruner, who resided in
the Cottonwood section of Camas
Prairie, planted a quantity of this
wheat and continued planting it for
several years. One year he got re-
turns of S. bushels an acre. Later
he abandoned this character of wheat
for the Russian Red. Mr.. Martin
says that during the period Mr..
Bruner was growing the wheat, some
of it was milled at Grangeville.
$40 Rushel for Entire Crop.
When asked as to what he would
say in reply to those who were calling
him a fakir, news dispatch quotes
Abraham Adams, who is responsible
for Alaska wheat, as stating:
People might say of me whatso-
ever they may feel inclined, but |
have the wheat and know how | got
it. Others may have this wonderful
wheat if they want to pay me $40
per buShel. Only one bushel to each
farmer. | could sell my entire crop
to one man at that price-a Walla
Walla farmer-but won't do it. A
bushel to farmer is all that can be
had at this time. The grain is being
grown in nearly every state in the
Union. From Alabama to Canada it
is being tested
THE Northern Pacific and Great
Northern have sent men to Juliaetta
to see what all this talk is about. Ask
them. Professor Jones, experiment
station chemist, can tell you what it is
worth. From II pounds of seed |
grew 1850 pounds of good wheat.
The wheat talks for itself, and Pm
not troubling myself about what other
people say"

the electric cars can be employed.
A modern terminal station is TO be
built Immediately.
Reports from Cottonwood are to
the effect that the order of the Bene-
dictine Fathers has moved from that
city to the new monastery site four
miles west of Cottonwood, on Craig
mountain, where monastery and
college will be built The plans are
broad and this will be the central
iZation of the Benedictine orders of
the west, and more than 81, 600, 900
will ultimately be spent on the
monastery and college. The order
of St. Benedictine is one of the most
devout religious branches of the
Catholic church and it is found large
ly in German communities. The
members desire complete isolation
and they build their colleges in quiet,
unfrequented parts of the country.
The site is an ideal one. The order
will establish school that will prob
ably be the largest priesthood school
west of the Mississippi river.

The Arena of Sport
Ketchell Defeats Thomas.

Stanley Ketchell knocked out Joe
Thomas in the second round at San
Francisco last Wednesday night 1t
was an easy victory for Ketchell, who
is light heavyweight champion. A
few years ago Ketchell was an I'M
known quantity in the hstic world
Twirled for Pollock.
Fred LANCE, the Cottonwood base
ball pitcher, went to Meadows to
twirl for the Pollock team in the big
racing and baseball tournament at
Meadows. LANCE is one of the most
proficient ball tossers in the country.
Pollock won the big purse and the
victory was largely due to Lange's
work.
Titus Charges Denied.
Some interesting developments
have evolved out of the ball tourna-
ment held here in July. 1t will be
remembered that Nez Perez imported
several Spokane players, who, Nez
Perez claims, were purported to be
Hollis, Dunn, Chandler and Roberts,
all star players from the Spokane
team of the Northwestern league.
The players were not Northwestern
league artists, however, having been
sent from the city league of Spokane.
Press reports listed them as Hansen,
Veley, Drew and Myers Whoever
they were, they were bit slow for
the classy Grangeville bunch and
Nez Perez hackers left somewhere
in the neighborhood of 81, 900 in
Grangeville. DIR. Titus, manager of
the Nez Perez team, in public
affidavit, charged that his town had
been bune oed into paying out money
for Northwestern league players,
when in reality they secured only
common ball players from the city
league Eddie Quinn, manager of
the Spokane Indians, has denied the
charge, claiming that he informed
Titus by telephone that he was UNI
able to furnish Northwestern league
players, but that he could send the
men who played under Nez Perez
colors. This, according to Quinn
was agreed to by Titus.

minister for the First Christian
church in this city, will not accept
the invitation of the church. accord
ing to the North Powder News. but
will remain in his banking business
at that place. Referring to the item
in the East Oregonian concerning the
coming Of Rev. Myers to this city. the
News says:
The above item aroused consider
able interest yesterday in North Pow
der. where ]. P. Myers is closely en-
gagged in the work of settling the af-
fairs OF the late F. & NJ. State bank,
and Matchmaking it; good work but
not godly.
1t seems that though now a Con-
gregationalist he was in his youth a
member of the Christian church, and
took five years Bible study in his
university course, not infrequently
supplying a pulpit for a friend.
Recently while in Pendleton he de-
livered an address as stated in the
above item, and so pleased his hear
ers that the pastorate was at once
offered him.
Mr.. Myers declined, stating that
while highly honored by the call, he
felt his unworthiness; but he was q
business man, not preacher, a bank
er, and felt himself bound to give his
whole time and attention to the az
fairs Of the North Powder bank.

SHEEP SHIPMENT
VALUED At $4,000.
FORTY-ONE YOUNG RAMS
FOR THE SMITH COMPANY
j. E. Smith Livestock Company Re-
ceives Shipment from the Well
Known Breeding Farms Of A. T.
Gambler of Wakeman Ohio-Over
5000 Pure Bred Delaine Ewes on
the Smith Ranches and Total of
10000 Sheep.

A shipment of Al head of Delaine,
Shropshire and Rambouillet rams,
valued at $4,000, has just been re-
ceived at Pilot Rock by the ]. E.
Smith Livestock company from the
farms of A. T. Gambler of Wakeman,
Ohio. The shipment was brought to
this city by A. ]. Smith, the junior
member of the ]. E. Smith Livestock
company who has been In the east
for the past three weeks.
This shipment Of fine rams includes
Bell, a ram lamb which won the first
prize for Gambler at the St. Louis
fair during the present winter, and
others of equal merit which have won
prizes at st. Louis, Sedalia and other
fairs during the past few months.
These excellent rams will be used
on the sheep ranches of the Smith
company where over 5000 head Of
pure bred Delaine ewes are now kept
and where a total of over $4,000
head of sheep are being wintered. The
Delaine ewes on the Smith ranches
will shear an average OF IL pounds
each, while the rams just received
from Ohio will shear at least 80
pounds each.
The Smith company IS especially
pleased to be able to secure so many
excellent young rams from the Gam
Der herds which have won prizes for
the owner all over the United States.
In st. Louis recently the Gambler
herds won 13 first prizes out Of pos
sible Is, giving Mr.. Gambler a world
wide reputation as breeder of fine
sheep.
The Smith company will have about
1900 young Delaine rams for the next
seasons markets and will make a spe.
cialty of supplying this class of young
rams to the sheepmen OF the north
west.
1t has been the object OF Mr.. Smith
to breed up his entire herd Of $4,000
head of sheep and that he has sue
ceeded in this in a high degree is
shown by the fact that the general
average OF the entire herd will per.
haps exceed nine pounds per head
this season.
This last shipment is the third re-
ceived by the Smith company from
Ohio in the past few months and
gives that company one OF the finest
collections of sheep to be found any,
