virtually a cloyer. 1t is especially ad-
apted to dry land and hard conditions,
and 1t seems to me it is worth while
to find out what that plant will do
for the farmers who live upon these
dry lands"
Wheat farming just at present in
Umatilla county is very profitable.
Many farmers are disposed to let well
enough alone. However, thrifty and
progressive men do not like to do this.
They want to improve old conditions,
They do not want to farm just as
their fathers and grandfathers farm
ed. To these men the advice to try
the raising of leguminous crops should
appeal.

THE POWER OF MIND

An old Southern darky had suffer-
ed for a long time with a complica-
ton Of diseases and had been treat
ed by several doctors of his own race
without success. Finally, on the sug-
gestion of friends, he called in a white
physician, who began his treatment
by inserting a clinical thermometer
under the patients tongue. While
waiting for the instrument to re-
gister, the physician walked to the
window, where the first object that
struck his sight was a runaway horse
attached to a buggy in which were
seated a woman and little girl. Just
as the outfit passed the window, the
buggy overturned and both occupants
were thrown out The physician
rushed out, and forgetting his dusky
patient placed the victims Of the acci-
dent in his own carriage and drove
rapidly to his office, where, after re-
pairs lasting for two hours they were
sufficiently revived to be able to go
to their homes without assistance.
The physician then remembered his
colored patient and drove back to the
house. What was his surprise to find
the old darky lying on the flat Of
his back with the thermometer still
stuck under his tongue. on being
asked why he had not removed it,
he replied, "Lawd, Marsa Doc, dis
yuh things done me the mos good
of anything rs ever took"

IN NORTH DAKOTA

The late Fred Remington, said a
Philadelphia artist, had a humorous
way Of illustrating his arguments
with incidents from real life.
He was arguing once on prohibit
tion. He described a trip he had
once made in the prohibition State
Of North Dakota. He told how he
rode through Degroat, Maza Benzion
lola and other towns in the Devils
Lake neighborhood. putting up for
the weekend at Mnnewaukan, where
he tried to get drink.
Sorry, mister" said the clerk,
eyeing Remington susplciously, "but
we can only sell whiskey for sick
ness. You will have to get a prescip-
ton"
Just then a cowboy entered. He
wore a red shirt and bearskin leggins,
and he carried a two-gallon demi-
john.
Jack" he said to the drug clerk,
as he swung the enormous demijohn
on the counter-"Jack, fill her up.

DELUSIVE AND UNFAIR.

To a large extent the mail order"
habit is due to the fact that people
do not discriminate regarding values,
There are people who have a blind
belief that they can do better "by
sending off" for something. Dist
ant things look better than those that
are carried in home stores. So they
send away for merchandise. Often
it occurs that they are sold goods that
are inferior to what they could buy
at home for the same or for less
money. But these people hug the
delusion that they have gained some-
thing by sending away. They also
overlook entirely the fact that when
they desire to buy goods on credit
they must patronize their home mer-
chants. The mail order houses show
them no Accommodations

DRY LAND LEGUMES.

Could eastern Oregon farmers do
without summer following and raise
annual crops instead of biennial crops
the land would be approximately
twice as productive as at present and
would be of correspondingly greater
value. The question is as to what
crops may be raised every year with
success.
Scientists say that leguminous
crops should be raised for several
reasons. The roots Of leguminous
crops go down deeper after moisture;
leguminous crops add humus to the
soil and so increase the moisture re-
tanning capacity of the soil; third,
they restore to the soil the nitrogen
that is taken away by the continual
raising of wheat.
At the dry farming congress held at
Billings, Mont, last October, Prof.
Thomas Shaw of the university Of
Minnesota talked upon this subject
and the following is quoted from his
address:
81 believe that there are certain
legumes that are going to be grown
with success under dry land con-
ditions. I believe that those legumes
include at least three and possibly
four The first of these is alfalfa,
that king Of the leguminous plants
for all the west; the second is the
field pea, oftentimes called in this
country, for reasons which I could
not understand, the Canadian Field
Pea, The third is that common old
fashioned plant that nobody, appar-
emily can, tell US about, but it grows
under dry land conditions and it is
wanted everywhere on our table,
refer to the common field bean; and
the fourth is plant that I will speak

cannot get rid of the point that
sand vetch is going TO have a place
under dry land conditions, and I
thing it would be good plan for the
people to set to work and try and
find out what the function Of that
plant is. I was delighted the other
day to meet with a gentleman in the
neighborhood Of Helena, who told me
that some Of the seed Of that plant
had been imported from Germany and
grown by certain farmers in the
neighborhood Of that city, and that
they had got two cuttings from the
seed that had been planted-not two
cuttings the first year. but two cut
tings the second year. Now. perhaps
I might explain. as It may be that

What Was That
 Man|ey Cleanup?

There is grave question in the minds of the people just what was the amount of the cleanup on the Manley, Aitken and Price ground on Flat creek, whore 8 considerable bunch of dust was scraped out of the rifles early las. week. The cleanup was taken from the Marietta at that portion of the claim formerly occupied by Si Simon son and partners, who sold their lay for s33, GOO.
 The amount brought into town has been variously estimated from s25, 300 to $40, 900, according to the seat occu- pied by the guesser, MT. Aiken, that tinancier whose veracity has never been questioned, said s25, 1000. Harold Sed- don, one of the owners of the Wildcat, said it would go better than that Frank Manley said it would go better than 0,000, and at last it is put down in this city by reliable informants that it went s37, ,000, the ground averaging SIP to the foot. Whatever it was, il was good, so take your choice.

Member Of Survey
 Party in Town

Announcing the arrival of A. c Maddren, head of the interior geo logical work for the United States mineral survey, H. E.

 Ire party consists of Maddren and Birkner. geologists and c. G. Anderson, topographer, besides packers and cooks. They are mak ing a reconnaissance survey from the Yukon, through the Innoko, Iditarod to the Kuskok vim, taking the formation, topography and eco homie details. With the submission of the report, maps ot the country will have been prepared, and with the completion of this work will be given out the first complete des- criptien of this new gold country.
 They left Ruby creek on the Yu- kon OH June 19th. and took in the Innoko after a trip of 3I days, They then crossed onto the To katna and into the Iditarod valley, Birkner preceding the balance of the party.
 They will make an extended sur vey of this section, and the only source of regret is the fact that they can scarcely get out their maps and reports before another year.

Completing another one of their famous all-Alaska itineraries, Bish, op Rowe and Archdeacon Stuck pioneers, advance guard and main stay of Episcopalian missionary work in the North, visited Iditarod city last Sunday in their launch Pelican, which has travelled every inland water of Alaska.
 They remained but a day, held services Sunday evening at the courthouse, ard hastened away Monday that Bishop Rowe migh, catch boat for the Outside at St. Michael.
 They have had a considerable journey. The far upper reaches oI the Porcupine heard the chug chue of the Pelican last spring, as did the deeps and shallows of the Roy ukuk. Outlying posts that mark the spot where faithful workers have taken their stand for the com mon good were visited by these in. defatigable voyagers who have traversed many times this grea' empire of the North from it's pola. ice to its southern blossoms.

More Negotiations
 on Flat Creek Ground

Negotiations have been pending during the past week for the sale Of the lay and option of Edgar & Nc Lean on the Aylmer fraction at the head of Flat creek, where recent work has disclosed pay as rich as any on the creek.
 It was known that the laymcn were holding out for $25.ooo and that they received an offer of $7o, 900 which they turned down, indi- eating that they feel very kindly to- ward their ground.
 The Ayllner lays at the upper end of the rich Marietta, between it and the Alpha. It lays i,ooc feet across stream and 500 feet uF and down, the prospecting done by Edgar & Mclean disclosing pay streak not less than 90 feet wide through the entire claim.
 Four holes were put down, three across the lower end of the pay, streak, 90 feet between outside holes. On the outside holes they found $2 dirt, in the middle hole il went S. At the upper end of the claim they sunk q hole on the streak finding $ dirt.
 Manley & Aitken own part oi the Aylmer under the option by which they acquired the Marietta, and they are seemingly desirous ot getting the remaining interest held by Edgar & Mclean. The latter partnership have already paid sS, 900 and are apparently very we'll satisfied with the deal.

KObuk River Shows
 Cause for Stampede

According to . letter just re- ceived from former partners oi George. Kilroy, a new and substan tial strike has been made in the Kobuk river region, a tributary of Hotham inlet, Kotzebue sound, north of Nome.
 This letter was written late in May by Jack Lasamis, Andy Jar bin and John Tynnay from what they call Klery creek on tue Kobuk river, where good prospects have been found from 6-b to ga. the finds ranging from three cents to $2o to the pan.
 Klery or Cleary creek is 30 miles long with lime aud schist lorna. | tion, and prospects are being found in other creeks in the same sec ton.
 At the time of writing they had just received the first prospecting boilers, and it was expected thai much more could be ascertained with the belief general that the finds already made would result il, a considerable stampede to the Ko buk this summer.

They Carried II
 in WheeIbarTOWS

c. J. Hurley, president of the Amer ican Bank of Alaska at Fairbanks, who is visiting the Iditarod, gives an un- confirmed rumor of cleanup by Berry x iHamil. on Gold King creek in the Bonnideld country, where they have been conducting one of the biggest hy- draulic operations in the North.
 The 'eport had it that tho cleanup filled two wheelbarrows with gold. Although this is almost unthinkable, it is explained by men familiar with hy- draulicking. that this cleanup probably
Iditarod pioneer., 1910-08-28

means 8 summers run and that the gold might be carried in this fashion before being thoroughly cleaned.
 The news, however, is confrmatory of the opinion of many who are familiar with the Berry & Hamil proposition to the effect that it is one of the greatest things in the North, and will bring great wealth to the promoters who put in over s2oo,000 before they could start the water.
