An article in the current issue
of the Westerner, written by one
Edgar l.. Hampton. under the
head "Harney Valley Rampant, +"
is disgustingly amusing The
writer states he has the infor-
nation second hand from Mr..
Dunn. The writer expresses a
desire to see this section before
the advent of a railroad and we
hope he may have the opportun-
ity for then he possibly can write
something for the Westerner
that will be something near the
truth. This cannot be said Of
the article he has already writ

While Harney county soil and
climate may not be adopted par
ticularly to fruit raising rs 4
whole, there are portions that
will possibly equal the most wide
ly advertised portions in that re-
spect. Such fruit as is grown is
fine. However, it doesn't need
to boast of its fruit producing
qualities when it will equal any
country for cerials, vegetables,
such as onions, potatoes, sugar
beets, celery, asparagus, etc, It
is also adapted to cranberry cul-
ture and has many advantages
in this respect that is not at pre-
sent taken into account It's iso-
lation and the Encouragement
incident to lack of market has
kept it in the back ground thus
far. Another injurious feature
in the lack of knowledge Of the
big papers of the state as to our
resources. The Portland papers
are densely ignorant of what the
Harney country is and its great
resources.

Says the new Stanfield Stand
ard: THE people of Oregon
have a crouch at the idle land
speculator. There are too many
of him and too spread out The
man who invests his wealth in
upbuilding a community, in irri-
eating arid tracts, in upbuilding
his home, is welcome and more.
But the speculator who obstrncts
development, levies weighty tri-
butte on the incoming hosts of
capitalists and laborers, sweats
others but never himself, and
dodges his just tribute to the
welfare of society at every turn
such man is regarded by n
constantly increasing host as a
good element to discourage by
any practical means. "

Local farmers should get their
soil in readiness for the moisture
that comes during the winter.
The past two exceedingly dry sea-
sons have taught US a lesson in
dry farming methods. We may
not have repetition of them,
but it is best to be on the safe
side. The good yields of grain
this year has proven that with
proper soil culture we may ex-
pect a profitable crop every sea-
son, therefore take advantage of
this fine weather to place the
ground in shape to hold the
moisture.

The recent sale Of the Alvord
ranch to new people at a big
figure evidently means the cut
ting up of the big ranch into
small holdings and disposing of
it. 1t is too much money TO put
into an Isolated property and al
lowed to remain for an indefinite
time awaiting development. This
is, perhaps, the forerunner Of
other such deals that will mean
the rapid settlement Of this ter
ritory.

The tendency to the improve
ment of stock of all kinds by
local growers is commendable
and should be encouraged. Every

stimulous in this respect and a
factor little considered by the
average person. 1t has proven
beneficial to those who have par
