Wins Riches in Old Age.

Los Angeles, Oct. 11.-By decision
of the United States circuit court of ap-
peals today, Timothy Carroll, a pioneer
of Southern California, wins his fight
to compel the Los Alimitos Sugar Com
pany to pay him royalty on his patent
beet dump. The decision crowns with
victory the struggle of Carroll, who is
7g years old, against poverty and hard
ship. II will make him independently
rich before the expiration of his pat
ents six years hence. 1t will put an end
to litigation that commenced 12 wears
ago, when the sugar company refused
TO recognize Carroll's rights.

FARM CENSUS ECONOMY.
Director Durand Hopes to Save Sew
eral Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Washington, Oct. 11.-U. S. Census
Direcotr Dana E. Durand hopes TO save
several hundred thousand dollars in
taking the census of agriculture and
also to increase the accuracy of the
statistics.
The director stated today that at the
census of 1900 the agricultural data
were handled by means of punched
cadrs. For each farm large number
of cards had to be punched, as the
number of facts recorded regarding a
farm was far greater than the number
of facts required regarding an individ-
ual in the population census.
Director Durand said the statistics
of population and of agriculture are
collected by different force from that
employed in gathering the statistics
of manufactures. The population and
agricultural data are secured by enum-
orators of whom there will be about
60, 900 at the present census, they in
turn being appointed by the supervis-
ors, of whom there are about $50. The
difficulty of securing competent and
faithful enumerstors is very great.
The length of service is very short, 10
days in the cities and 80 days in the
country districts. The pay is small,
averaging perhaps three dollars per
day in the country districts and trifle
more in the cities, practically the pay
of ordinary mechanics. Not only,
Shnrnfarn 1f kkaaa rr-hn cnnk
to be neumerators able to command
only moderate pay in their occupa-
tions. but many of them are men who
can not command regular employment
and who are looking for odd jobs.
The director hopes that consider
able number of the colleges and univer-
sites of the country may see fit to give
leave of absence to their students for
the short time required to do this work
of enumeration. The college student is
very useful enumerator in some
cases, but it is exceedingly desirable
that enumerators should actually live
in the distritsc where they work, and
there are multitudes of districts where
no college students reside or where such
students are in institutions hundreds or
thousands of miles from their homes.
Another class who can render good ser
vice as enumerators are school teach
ers, but, with the enumeration taking
place in April and May instead of June
as formerly, few school teachers can be
spared from their duties to take the
census.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS.
Great interest Is Shown From All
Parts of the Country.

Billings, Montana, Oct 1..-An in
teresting example of the widespread
interest in the dry farming movement
was given in the morning mail received
by the secretary the other day when
fourteen states and Canada were rep
resented in the memberships recorded.
These ranged from the Pacific coast on
the Vest to Pennsylvania on the East
and from Canada to New Mexico.
There were several memberships from
Canada. The states from which the
applications came were California, Col
orado, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraksa, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Washington and Wis
consin.
Memberships are being received at
such rate that the edition of the Hand
book Of Information, which contains
the report of the third session of the
congress, has been exhausted and the
secretary has been compelled to an
nuonce to new members that there are
no more of these valuable books avail
able. All persons joining the congress
from this time on will receive the sec
ond annual Handbook which will con-
tain the proceedings of the Fourth Dry
Farming congress which will meet at
Billings, Montana, October 26-2S, and
resume of the contents of the first
edition.
The officers Of the congress set out
after the close of the Cheyenne meet
ing with the ambition of making the
membership of the congress total TO-
900 before the Billings meeting and
the indications are that they will come
very near that goal. In one day re-
Gently the secretary received $50
memberships coming from all parts of
this country and from several foreign
lands. Every mail brings more.

Gresham Makes Improvements in
Buildings for Coming Display.
Gresham county's fair
promises to be the equal this year OF
the two preceding ones. About 81, 900
worth of the treasury stock has been
sold since the last fair, which has ere
ated an ample fund for making i'm
provements. The sum of $500 is avail
able out of the state appropriation for
premiums on exhibits this year, which
sum will be increased by the gate re-
ceipts and the money from sale of con-
cessions.
A large force of men are at work on
the new stock buildings and out-of-
doors pavilion. 1t is intended to use
the main exhibit building for no other
purpose after this than to house the
displays of agriculture, horticulture
and art, together with exhibits of bus
iness houses The new building will
be used as an auditorium and dance
hall and other public functions.
The rev stock pens will be ample
and commodious and permanent, those
of last year having been torn down. A
new fence will be built around the
grounds and suitable booths will be
erected for small concessions.

as rapidly as possible, for the new line
between Lebanon and Crabtree of the

work on the new structure. The
bridge is going to be one of the longest
bridges in the country, being nearly
400 feet crossing the river, with tres
tie of some 1000 feet on the west ap-
proach to the bridge. The bridge will
cost in the neighborhood of S100, 900.

The falling off in the percentage of

Phones to Sound Fire Alarm.

McMinnville-This city is installing
the latest standard fire alarm system.
The apparatus, purchased from New
York firm, is being placed in position
and the city council will be asked to
district the city into eight fire wards,
or districts, to conform to the require
ments of the new system. fan electric
bell striking machine will be connected
with the automatic transmitter, which
will be installed in the office of the
McMinnville Local & Long Distance
Telephone company, and thus, for the
present, each public or private tele-
phone belonging to that company in the
city will serve to transmit an alarm of
fire instead of the regular automatic
fire alarm boxes.

co-oPERATIVs IRRIGATION.
Baker County Farmers Don't Need
Outside Capital.

Outside Capital.
Baker City-Baker county has more
cooperative irrigation projects than
any other county in Oregon. There
are no large ditch systems, the farm
ers being banded together IN small
groups, and cooperating in building OF
inexpensive bitches and in the division
OF the water therefrom. Very much
the same conditions as to the ease with
which water is utilized for irrigation
prevail in Eagle and Pine valleys
where a superabundance Of water flows
from the mountain gorges which has
in it power enough to run the machin'
cry of a small empire. The Lower
Powder has several systems which
have been expensive, built by private
farmers and corporations, and which
irrigate tracts of alfalfa land. In
Burnt River valley are number of
private ditch companies irrigating bot
tom and foothlil land, which produce
good results but which are compare
lively inexpensive.
The largest irrigation system in
Baker county is that which covers the
bench lands on the east side of Baker
valley, beginning about eight miles
above Baker City and extending in
northerly direction and terminating at
present about five miles northeast OF
the city with the probability of il
being extended later and covering the
whole east side of the valley. This
canal has been built at large expense,
having been cut of solid rock for con.
siderable distance along the mountain
side. In a distance of 2S miles OF
canal there has been used only about
400 feet of fiume, and the work is of {
much more substantial nature than ii
ordinarily used in private irrigation
works.
