FOREST FIRES NEEDED
OFTENER.

The numerous forest fires this
season throughout the northwest
have destroyed a large amount OF
lumber and yet much good has been
done The old Indian way OF burn
inr the forests annually will be much
hottor than our nresent method OF
letting them go for several years for
the sake Of being able to get up a
big fire. Many of the orchard pests
come to MS through the forest and
annual fires would clean out these,
and consequently would be a benefit
TO our fruit trees There Is much
that could be said on this subject
and II Is to he hoped that n govern
ment investigation will be made In
the near future along these lines.

BALLINGER AND THE INSUR-
GENTS

Secretary Ballinger OF the Interior
Department has been on visit to
Crater Lake, and has expressed him.
self as highly pleased with the seem
cry around that wonder spot Of Ore
gon. He says that he will favor a
large appropriation with which to
carry on Improvements in that Sec
tion. While the secretary has been
away from Washington many reports
have been spread regarding his re-
signation, and finally II Is claimed
that the president has come to the
conclusion that It will be best, In the
interest Of harmony, to have Mr.. Bal
linger retire from the interior de-
partment. When last heard from
the secretary says that he knows
nothing about the agreement for
him to retire and that he will not
resign, except on the request Of the
president, which as yet has not been
made. It appears that the insur-
gents are making the fight against
Mr.. Ballinger and what IS more they
are making It tell. Insurgents have
won California by a big majority and
Kansas went the same way. Other
states are dropping into line and
evidently the regulars have been
stampeded and may be on the run
before the November elections, The
voters IN many states this year care
little for the regular organization" "
They want good men and will vote
for them regardless OF the party

tertainments to be given at the
Grants Pass opera house this sea-

fractions for this seasons engage
ment are even better than the last

great deal, as all who attended the

template the planting Of fruit farms

ing the famous valley has been very
successful, and this will account for
the clean fruit which abounds this

from year to year, and It must be,

THE REAL SITUATION.

There is no little talk about the
delay in commencing irrigation work
and II can be truthfully said that all
OF us will be pleased TO see the Sav-
age Rapids dam under construction.
Some blame the irrigation company
for the delay, while others regard
the property owners who refuse to
Sign up" as the responsible parties.
II may be that both the company and
the land owners are at fault, but we
must take into consideration the
facts as they are. Capital Is, and al
ways has been timid, and IN this
particular case there Is no exception
10 the rule. Irrigation enterprises
when managed by the general gov
ernment are placed on guaranteed
financial basis. The land irrigated
is responsible for the Indebtedness
until the last dollar Is paid. Under
the Carey act the lands were turned
over to the states and when they
were irrigated by private corpora
tions they became n first lien for the
cost OF putting water on the land In
the irrigation enterprise In this coun-
~ the same plan Is observed, and
the business from the very first has
been conducted on that basis. The
company has been very successful in
securing sIgners TO the irrigation
contracts; however, there is n neigh
borhood In the river bottom below
this city where certain property
owners have refused to contract. I'm
partially speaking this is the real
situation at the present time. The
'oanv appears TO be waiting for
more contracts and the property
owners are also waiting for the work
10 start without their being Obliged
TO sign up

Campbell System INDICATED.

John CLANCY, a rancher of Fergus
county, put in 100 acres of winter
wheat last fall. He had spent consid-
cradle time studying the methods of
the Campbell scientific system for
handling agricultural lands in a semi
arid region, and he decided to give
the propaganda thorough trial. AZ
ter each hard shower this spring he
narrowed the 1CO-acre field, MT dis
continuing the operation until after
the first of June, when the wheat was
fully eight inches high.
Mr.. CLANCY recently threshed his
crop, and from the 1CO acres of winter
wheat he received over 1000 bushels,
Or over 10 bushels to the acre. He is
now an enthusiastic advocate of
scientific farming.

Good Farming Pays.

An eastern wheat expert says that
this year the average yield for wheat
in North Dakota is five to six BUSH
els. He adds, Zone thing has been
plainly demonstrated this year, ana
1t is that good farming pays. 1t is to
be hoped that good many farmers
have learned well taught lesson
that slipshOd methods do not MAIN

the low average of North Dakota the
expert assigns as reason that the
lands were not well narrowed, which
means 50 much in the conservation of
moisture.
