C0L0N|ST TRAVEL
BREAKING RECORDS
RUSH GREATER THAN EXPECT
ED-MANY NOW DRIFTING
IN ON BRANCH.

The colonist rush this spring Is
breaking all records, say the reports
from stations on the main lines of rail-
roads. Trains are loaded to the plat
forms and running in three and four
sections. Homeseekers are arriving
in Portland at the rate of over 1000
a day, and hundreds are stopping off
at stations east Of that city.
Many are coming into Wallowa coun
ty. Fridays train brought in over a
score. some getting off at each sta
tion in the valley. The majority of
the arrivals Friday were Skandina-
vians from Minnesota and the Dako-
tas.
1t is estimatedeby the railroad offic.
ials that $4,000 colonists will come
to Oregon during the continuance of
rates in March and April. OF that
number fully three-fifths will remain
and make homes in this state.
The rush is so much greater than
expected that the problem in Port
land Is how to take care of them,
and the commercial bodies have taken
the matter in hand and will organ
ize bureaux of information and do all
things possible to give the newcom-
ers hearty welcome, and whatever
assistance in matter of selecting
location that is needed. AS to the
latter however, little Is needed for
nearly all know just what they want
to do and where they want to go.

CROPS IN BUENA vista
VALLEY DESPITE WORK
OF JACK FROST

J. E. Thornton. who ownes the
old Zimmershead ranch in Buena
Vista Valley was In town the first
part of the week after a load of pro
visions consisting principally Of
grain and feed for the ranch.
He says there will be good crops
in Buena Vista valley this year, al
though he as well as all the ranch
ers have been very hard hit by the
April frosts. Ice an inch thick
froze there during the cold snap and
practically the entire fruit crop of
the valley as well as that In Union
vile up in the canyon was Destroy
ed. The alfalfa and hay stands
were froze down. but have come out
again alright, and these will not
suffer materially
TIL fruit orchards were the main
victims of Jack Frost. This is
the third year in succession that
frost has wrought havoc in Buena
Vista orchards and the ranchers of
that vicinity are thinking seriously
of putting in smudge pots next
year.

in town. Mr. Mottino was seen
this morning at the New Reception,
and he stated that he located too
late last fall to plant any winter
wheat, and he is wishing now that
he had been little earlier, as the
recent rains would bring the wheat
out in great shape He says he has
potatoes up two inches high, and so
nave many of his neighbors. No
crops are planted on an extensive
scale, as the farmers desire to ex-
pertinent in way until they see
which crops under existing condit-
ions will give the best results.
Wells have been dug on some Of
farms and water is found but few
feet from the surface.
Some water will be pumped by

oline engines. No attempt has yet
been made to find artesian water al

The above press dispatch tells OF
tn death of a young man who was
quite well known in LOvelock, hav-
ing been stationed here for num-
ber of weeks representing Western
National Fire Insurance Company.
which company has been placing its
organization stock in a number OF
Nevada towns. He was here in CO
pany with It. r. Beall, who has also
been engaged in the same line OF
work,
Cornell was of an affable dtspo-
sition ,and besides making num-
ber Of friends he did considerable
business for his company. But few
particulars of the suicide are known
Mr.. Beall said to reporter, that he
knew of no particular reason that
his former associate had for taking
his own life. He stated however
he had known of domestic troubles
in the family of the deceased and
it is possible the cause of the rash
act may be ascribed to this.
Cornell left Lovelock, lastSatur-
day evening on No. 3 for Sacramen-
to. He had completed his work at
this place, and was going In to
head quarters to report. His wife
who lived in Sacramento had depart
ed on a visit to the Southern part
of California, which was said to be
against his requests to her. whenthe
matter had previously been mention
ed. While in Lovelock, Cornell had
been drinking steadily, and no doub'
. when he arrived at Sacramento ano
found his wife gone, he became des-
pondent and in rash moment took
the fatal dose.
