In A
NORTHERN STATE

VIM. Lampe and Henry Wink
leman recently returned from
trip to Oregon making tour of in
spection of the farming conditions
OF that state. The territory in the
vicinity of Klamath Falls received
their closest inspection. In speak
ing of the trip Mr.. Lampe said:
"The klamath Fall country is
much the same as ours, save that
that they have more spring rains,
and of course less irrigation is re-
qnired. The government irriga-
tion project furnishes the water,
charging $3 per acre, payments to
run ten years. Very poor meth
ods OF farming is in evidence but
time alone will correct this fault.
"The Ezell boys have an excel
lent piece of property which is
daily increasing In value. They
have large tract in wheat and
irrigated it the furrow method so
commonoly used in this Valley.
am told that their neighbors
laughed at them when they laid
out the burrows last spring. They
don't laugh now because that is the
finest stand of wheat in the tKlam-
ath Fall country. They are re-
ceiving 1915 per ton for hay and
high prices re1gn.
"Out of thyslffgation belt, dry
farming is bei6g made success.
The foothills are made 10 produce
potatoes and the like without ir-
rlgation. AS high as 60 bushels of
grain per acre is produced by dry
farming.
Land within the irrigated dis
trict can be bought for $50 per
acre and it is the common belief
theer that i yik-advance to $500
per acre within ten years"

THE RIGHT MAN ON
|, THE RIGHT JOB

When VIM. Starke removed the
shipping crate from his mechanical
brass band of twenty-seven pieces,
he Was Mortified to find that the
rough handling while in transient
from Germany had dislodged
many Of the delicate parts and
all were in heap in the bottom of
the box. Whether to call in a
plumber, blacksmith or piano
tuner was mooted question. He
did neither, but sent for Roy
Kyle. Think of a man by that
name repairing a German music
box. He went to work adjusting
&c" strings, and high &c" in the
horn section. After hours of hard
work all adjustments were made,
and the juice turned on. Such a
combination of musical instru-
ments you never heard.
Kyle just smiled at his achieve
ment while Starke became so elat-
ed that he wants the young me-
chanic to learn more about the
delicate construction Of musical
instruments.

NEW TRAVELLING CHARACTERS.
This Condition Created by Lower
Prices for Upper Berths.

That the Pullman company is to re-
duce the price of soEe lower and of
all upper berths is news that the trav-
cling public will receive with delight.
That the principle of a lower price for
the upper berth is incidentally estab-
Iished for all time will be of especial
joy to all, says the Chicago Evening
Post.
But it must be admitted that the
change will cause the disappearance
of many of our most familiar travel
ing characters. We fear for instance,
that we shall never see again the large
two-ffsted American who never can
sleep wink in an upper berth" Along
with him will go the important person
who must have a lower or nothing,
sir" We may even miss the woman
who can't bear to climb up into the
pesky thing.
In their places will come a new
band. We shall have the valetudi-
marian, who, after studying the new
rate card, will declare that he must
have the fresher air which is a char
acteristic of the upper BERTH We
shall have the travelling man who has
Just discovered that he sleeps better
because of the rocking motion of an
upper We shall have the woman
who thinks lower berth not sufH-
GENTLY retired.
In other words, there will be one
more human and humorous illustra-
ton of the vast influence of economic
| law upon human thought and action.

BIG NORTH AND SOUTH LINE.

President Frank K. Bull, of the Mid

constructing line through North Da-
kota, enters the railroad field with no
uncertain step. AS president of the
]. I. Case Threshing Machine COM
pany of Racine, Wis, Mr.. Bull has an
intimate knowledge of the shippers
viewpoint, and has given great deal
of study to the science of railroad
building and operation. He takes
friendly yet positive issue with Presi-
dent A. ]. Earring Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad on the lat
ter's recently quoted prophecy that
there would be no further railroad
ably for a year, until the entire rate
situation should become clear. while
we are not yet running trains" says
President Bull, ''our first fifty miles be-
tween Edgely, on the ST. Paul, and
Jam estown, on the Northern Pacific,
are graded, and we intend laying rails
and initiating tonnage records before
next summer. At this time an inde-
pendent north and south system
through the United States may i'm
press some of our most careful think
ing authorities on the railroad situa-
ton as the happy solution Of so many
disagreeable and complicated rate en-
tanglements. Tapping, feeding and be-
ing fed by the great east and west
trunk lines, wherever we build, our
line offers every advantage in rate ad-
justment, and serves as the most well
come inlet, outlet and auxiliary route.

uring in the most important calcula-
tons before any of US are much
older"

CENTRAL BRANCH TO DENVER.
Another Story of Proposed Extension
Is Out

Concordia, Kan, Dec. 14.-It will
not do to let the year 1910 go out with
out having another Of the semi-annual
round house stories proving that the
Central Branch is to be extended to
Denver. This is the latest and it has
the usual semi-official stamp of au-
thority. The new bridges that are be-
ing put in between here and Atchison
are of the very heaviest and best type.
Better than those on the Kansas City
Omaha line and the new ballast is
burnt rock. This is the very best bal
last known to the railroads. The main
line between Omaha and Kansas City
is being ballasted with cinders.
All of this, according to the best
round house dope, can have but one
meaning and that is the Central
Branch is to be made the principal
line of the Gould interests in the west.
Further listen to this The Denver
Omaha railroad, which has construct
ed within the last two months 20 miles
of track out of Denver and is building
east as fast as possible. is said to be a
Gould line and the plan is said to have
| it connect with the Central Branch at
Lenora. This completes the line and
