MORE PEOPLE
NEEDED HERE
To Reap Golden Harvest. A
Prosperous Farming
Section.

From the different scenes and
data given here can be seen that
farming in Gillian county is doEe
on an extensive scale. Many of
its ranches are composed of sew
eral thousand acres, some running
as high as FIVE thousand. But
these farms must be divided in
to smaller ranches as it is being
realized that the old method of
summer fallowing, resulting in
utilizing only one-half of the land
every year. must sooner or later
give way to the much advocated
crop rotation system which can
be done properly only on smaller
ranches.
Gillian county thus offers
splendid opportunities to home
seekers. 1t needs more people to
reap the harvest of its rich soil.
From a climatic point of view
this is the most inviting portion
of Oregon. There are no exces-
sive rains, but an ample supply
of moisture to insure growing
crops. No extreme cold in win
ter while its cool summers are
delightful.

FRUITS arrow IN ABUNDANCE
As Shown BY The Splendid
Specimens at Grange Fair.

The many creeks running
through the county are lined with
orchards. The peach tree seems
to have found its home at last
and the fruit grows to unsivalled
beauty and unexcelled flavor.
Gilliam's apples are becoming
rivals of the world-famous Hood
River product. Pears, apricots,
melons and garden trucl grow in
abundance. The grand fruit ex-
hibits at the Mayville fair during
the past two years have been the
astonishment of all visitors and
have aided wonderfully in fur
thering fruit growing in Gillian
County. Fruit trees on non-irri-
gated land bear surprising crops.

together with the grain and the
abundance Of alfalfa grown along
creeks, has induced many to stay
with the profitable stock-raising.
The advent of the large packing
plants from the east to this coast
has placed a new impetus on this
industry and the farmers of the
county are going into stock-rais-
ing on larger scale than ever
before. The wool growing in
dustry is still source of large
revenue to the county as there
are many tracts of fine winter

LEARNING BETTER
FARMING METHODS
Means Larger Crops--Lafger
Yearly Income.

Gillian county has, since the
year 1907 when it harvested
1850, 900 bushels Of grain, been
known as one of the best wheat
producing counties in the Pacific
Northwest. Dry-land experts
from the Oregon Agricultural
College experiment station upon
their various visits during the
past year have said that its soil
is very rich and most productive.
even in the dryest year. Since
the first trip Of the demonstra-
ton train, the farmers have be-
come more eager to learn better
farming methods and their latest
move was the organization Of the
Gillian County Improvement AS
sociation, the first object OF
which is the securing of the To-
cation for the dry farm expert
ment station in this county.
fhey realize that with such q
farm much is to be learned along
lines of Improvement. If win
mean larger crops, a still greater
variety by the crop rotation sys-
tenn, and much larger income
every year.

GILLIAN COUNTYS
VAST RESOURCES
Offer Vast Opportunities
to Home soJkers

Gillian County which at the
present time offers golden oppor-
tunities TO ths home-seeker, Is
situated in Eastern Oregon on the
south bank Of the Columbia river,
l25 miles east of Portland. Its
resources are vast and its wealth
untold. This territory is practi-
cally a new country as the farm
ers are just learning to get the
best results from the rich soil.
Il is a section where investments
for years to come can be safely
and probably made In fact
there Is no section in the Pacific
Northwest where city and coun-
try property Is nearer the turn
ing point for doubling its value.
Land at the present time Is sell
ing at an extremely low price
while 1t brings in untold wealth
In crops. No other section offers
such sure inducements to the
home-seeker. This matter bears
watching and investigation.
There Is still some government
land open TO settlers.

A Diagnosis Of Volcanoes.

From the Boston Transcript.
The volcano is one of the most familiar
objects in nature. We have yet made no
practical use of these great natural cal
drons. Nevertheless the volcano has it's
uses as a point of inspiring reference. OF
any man with great energy we say he is
perfect volcano for work. and then
everybody knowns that he is a colossal
spouter. William Jennings Bryan is such.
The volcano is almost as familiar a
figure as he. But Mr.. Bryan and the
volcano have their differences. He has
often explained himself. Whereas. though
there have been many. many theories. the
volcano has yet had no satisfactory inter-
prefer. One geologist after another dis
cusses the question of what makes earth
break out in these gigantic pmples. these
skin eruptions; but always the diagnosis
has seemed faulty. Now comes chemist
to set it straight.
The clouds of steam that tower high
above volcano in eruption. and even
above those in uuiescence. have always
been thought a Visible sign of the force
that made the volcano. The explanation
was obvious Steam pressure was doing
it all. Every volcanic disturban nee was a
boiler explosion. But this chemist, q

by Henry F. Montagnier. an American
mountain climber recently ventursd up
Mount Teneriffe. in the Canary Islands.
with a complete outfit of scientific APP
paratus And they made a remarkable
discovery. The clouds of steam that
float over volcanoes are not steam at all.
1t is a clear case of mistaken identity.
Those clouds are composed of chlorhy-
drate of ammonia. and clearly volcanic
force is chemical. Every eruption Is a
chemical reaction Not a boiler explo-
sion: it is case of indigestion. an at
tack Of earth stomachache.

Caught in a Prairie Blizzard.

Last Sunday was the twentieth ami
yersary of the great blizzard OF 1883 IN
Nebraska and northwestern Iowa" said
G. D. Riggs the other day. II was living
i'm O'Neill. Neb.. at the time and had just
left the office to go home for dinner when
the blizzard struck. started to cross the
street to a drug store, but when reached
the other side I found myself half way
down the block from my destination. The
fine wind-driven snowflakes filed the air
so that couldn't see my hand before ne.
I finally worked my way back to the drug
store, where a number of other men had
taken refuge from the storm. School had
lust been dismissed for the noon recess
and we knew that nearly 800 choldren
were out In the storm. Securing long
ropes the crowd started out to rescue
them. We found them huddled In door
ways and by the sides OF buildings. The
children caught hold of the ropes and
were led to shelter by their roscuers.
whose sense of direction gradually re-
turned to them. Every one OF the 300
school children In the town was got home
in safety. But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during the
blizzard and thousands Of cattle died
The Thermometer fell from about the
freezing point at noon to 20 degrees be-
low zero that night. II was the. worst
blizzard 1 ever saw. and / never want to
experience another like it,"

Life in Christiania.

From the Atlantic.
Many of the residences Of Christiania
stand villa-like in the midst of pretty
gardens, which in summer are full OF
bloom and give the streets a peculiar
charm and sense Of openness. Within
the people live simple, wholesome lives,
kindly and hospitable. with that truest hos
pitality which invites the guest to share In
good cheer without ostentation or display.
Dinner is at 3 or O'Clock. served by
trim, fresh-looking maids. and supper at
8, where, except on formal occasions. the
guest is free to forage around the. table
for himself. Host and hostess drink the
health Of each guest with the word
"skaal.'' replied to by the eyes over the
glass after drinking. Adjourning to the
drawing room. the guests thank both
master and mistress Of the house. and on
the next meeting never fail to say:
Thanks for the last time" One is every
where struck by the frank and unaffected
simplicity Of the life and the straightfor-
ward kindness of the people.
