Passing .of the Cattle Ranges

Crop statistics obtained in Montana
furnish striking illustration of the way
in which the Northwest is developing.
Montana even decade ago, was large
" cattle range and feeding ground
for sheep There were sixteen acres
of flax in the state in 1899 and ten
wears later there were 81, 647 acres Of
fay in the state. The difference in the
10 acres and the 37,547 acres repre-
sents in large measure the increase
in the area of prairie that had been
plowed for the first time in the two
years. The rapid increase of the flax
acreage furnishes good measure OF the
extent to which cattle and sheep ranges
are being converted into farms.
The acreage OF oats was :. increased
1888 per cent during the decade.
The wheat fields were expanded 1904
per cent within ten years. The acreage
of all cereals increased from 54,231
acres in 1909 to 635,8 acres in
1909, an improvement of 1901 per
cent.
The, figures indicate plainly that
Montana, instead of sticking to live
stock that could be raised on the vast
unoccupied prairies, is.a going in for
general farming.

Takes Eagle Creek Correspondent 10 Task
Editor Echo: l wish to make few ex-
ceptions to a communication which APP
peared in The Echo last week in re-
gard to a Fourth OF July Celebration
which was held in the Chumstick val
ley. The article evidently was written
by some one who had crouch and
was ashamed to sign his own name to
it and hid his identity under the nom
de plume of Eagle Creek" The cor
respondent sets out to roast the citizens
of the Chumstick for going to Leaven-
worth to spend the Fourth instead OF
attending the picnic, and in regard to
this l wish to say that the so-called
picnic was entirely arranged by the
residents Of Eagle Creek and they Sc
lected the Chumstick valley as the
place for holding it, and did not direct
ly invite the Chumstick valley to par
ticipate as a whole.
In regard to the ball game that was
played the Eagle Creek team was a
we'll organized one that had been prac-
ticing for weeks while the Chumstick
team was one picked up on the ground
and was composed Of strictly Chum-
stickers with two exceptions, one oil
whom had never played a game OF ball
in his life before, and the other had not
played for about fifteen years.
Had known that some of the Eagle
Checkers who attended this picnic were
carrying a crouch with them would
far rather have attended ten-cent
horse race with an empty stomach and
been in peace with the world, than to
have been in their midst with full
stomach. J. w. Teshera.

COUNTY NEWS ITEMS

The County Commissioners last week
purchased 25 acres at Peshastin from
S. P. Beecher for a poor farm. The
price paid was $12, 500. Fifteen acres
of the place is set in young orchard
and has modern six-room house.
Personal property in Chelan county
upon which owners must pay taxes
next spring totals S1,080,6l accord
ing to the figures just compiled by
Chelan County Assessor R. c. Osborn.
The amount of taxable personal prop
erty found by the assessors Office in
1911 exceeds the total of 1910 by
$215,5o5. The assessment Of taxable
personal property last year was 1884,
92O.
Before the first of October, about
100 days hence, the Wenatchee valley
will have produced and shipped 600
carloads of peaches. This is the esti-
mated peach crop of the valley as
struck by averaging various estimates.
A carload contains 1000 boxes and it
is now practically certain that peaches
will run about so cents per box. This
means that before October l the grow
ers of this valley and the people of the
community will havereceived 100000
in cold cash out of the peach crop
alone.
