FIGURING mills in this valley is anxi-
GUS to secure hill wheat 1t is al
most invariably prime milling grain
And it is not the little draws and
valleys between the hills where the
best wheat and most of it is grown
1t is the hill sides and hill tops.
All farmers are not successful in
the hills, but it is not the fault of
The soil or climate.
All the foregoing are actual facts
and can be verified by the best auth
orlty--the bankers who handle the
money for the crops.
In spite of this showing our county
is cursed by set of knockers who
decry on every possible occasion our
best wheat land. Some of these same
knockers have grown rich in this
county and are therefore like the
birds that befoul their own nests.
Some of them own hundreds and ev-
en- thousands of acres of this wheat
land and are ever trying to grab
more. They run it down, it's possibil-
tiles, its Latent value, it's price, yet
If you tried to buy some of thei'
lend you would find it priced a lit
tie higher than the ruling price for
similar land.
Every part of the county is cursed
with these knockers.
They are the men who are doing
the most to keep the county back.
Il it were not for them, and their
brothers n-moss the town knockers,
we would have received 1000 new set,
tiers in this county during 1911.
Do you doubt it? What county in
Eastern Oregon can show the natural
resources or the opportunities for in
vestors and settlers that Wallowa can
Not one. Then why SO few of the
25 or 80 thousand colonists who have
come to Oregon this spring have come
here? You answer, lack of publicity.
That's true, but if it were not for the
knockers there would be publicity.
They are the fellows that keep enough
strife going to prevent harmony in
each town, and to make cooperation
between the towns possible.
The knocker is of no possible use
or value to a community. The good
l1nocker is like the good indian. He's
dead.

Men who owe all they have and all

To cure beef tongues: Trim and
drop them into boiling water for a
few minutes to plump" them, and
close the pores so as to retain the
juices. When cool, rub them with a
mixture in the proportion of one pint
Of salt, one teaspoonful of salt-pet-
er and quarter of pound of brown
sugar to every twenty pounds of
tongue. Pack them in an earthen YES
sci. not tin or iron one; sprinkle
lightly with salt and put a weight on
top. Turn them every other day,
putting the bottom ones on top and
packing them closely. Let them lie
about ten days, then hang them up,
and when dry put them into bags to
keep from the flies. II you do not
wish to use whole tongue at once

The measure that will give Taft
enough plumes to stock a wholesale
millinery shop, will probably not be
considered until the regular session
next winter. We refer to the Arbi-
tration Treaty with Great Britain by
which both nations solemnly agree
never to go to war with each other
for any cause whatsoever, turning all
matters of differences, including those
of vital interest, territory and honor"
over to the International Court of
Arbitration. This will be the most
momentous event since that hot July
day in Philadelphia when the boy

congress and this is that the majority
of this congress is composed of men
who will not be restricted by unseen
ties or antiquated rules and customs
from truly representing the people
who elected them. The last-but why
rake up dead ashes?
The question of greatest popular in
terest that will doubtless be handled
at the special session is election of
senator's by the people. This pro-
posed amendment will undoubtedly be
adopted by the requisite two-thirds
vote and then go to the states for
ratification.
To get this popular measure thru
congress has taken even longer than
to put tariff revision ON a scientific
basis, all Of which just goes to show
how little force public opinion has
aad in Washington.

DRY FARMING SUCCESS HERE

Tillman Reuter- of Madras, Crook
county, is receiving considerable
newspaper notoriety these days be-
cause of his success in dry farming.
On the semi-arid uplands near Mad
ras he produces big crops of splen-
did quality, including alfalfa, forage
plants, roots, onions and summer
squash, all without irrigation. Yet
on these products Mr.. Reuter- has
won prizes in open competition.
1t Is said that contrasted with neigh
boring farms, it looks as if some mir
acle were in progress within his fen
ces, or that some specially fertile
soil had been chosen for an expert
ment. But the miracle is only the
daily hard work that is taught how
to avail itself of the reserves of hid
den moisture that otherwise would De
sucked up and lost in the dry air.
OF course 1t is not fair to compare
the so-called dry land farming dis
trict here, with its 19 to 20 inches av
erage rainfall, with semi-arid Crook,
but the comparison of farmers and
their results here can be made and
is found to be similar to that of Mr..
Reuter- and his neighbors. In the old
er settled and longer farmed part OF
our dry land district the farmers who
use scientific, modern methods achieve
results that are simply wonderful. Sew
eral have become wealthy in a few
years by straight farming, doing bet
ter than the average on irrigated
land. These are not bonanza farmers
on big tracts either, but men who own
from 24O to four or five hundred ac
res.
This statement is no mere asser
tion but is a moderate statement OF
actual facts.
The size of the crops is a matter
of record. The best farmers think q
yield of 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre nothing to brag about.
The quality of the grain and Other
crops Is unsurpassed in Eastern Ore
gon or Washington. Each OF the fou

from memory what a troop recent

579S miles without anything to eat
