ESTIMATE OREGON WHEAT
100000 BUSHELS

Condor, Or.-Gilliam, Sherman and
Morrow counties may produce 8,000,-
900 bushels of wheat this year. 1t
will likely be the greatest crop in the
history of the district. It will be the
first crop for four years and the people
are rejoicing.
The estimate given is declared too
conservative by George B. Dukek,
president of the Tri-County Develop
ment league and a prominent wheat
grower of Gillian county. He says
the 20O,0 acres planted will yield
more than Is bushels average, esti-
mated ut total Of 5000, 900 bushels
for the county. The estimate of 3D.
5OO.O bushels for Sherman is given by
D. C. Stephens, superintendent of the
Moro experiment station, and an esti-
mate of 1000, 900 bushels for Morrow
is given by Oren Beatty, "soil mis-
sionary," after q horseback tour of
the county.

ELK EXCLUDE SHEEP.
Borah Protests Against Encroach-

Borah Protests Against Encroach-
ment on Grazing Lands.
Washington, D. C.-Senator Borah,
of Idaho, is not enough of sentiments
list to believe in converting the forest
reserves of the West into preserves
for ranging elk, if that practice is go
ing to interfere seriously with the
sheep industry. The Interior depart
ment last winter distributed several
elk from the Jackson's Hole country
over various Western states, liberat-
ing them in different forest reserves.
Commenting on this, Senator Borah,
in the senate, made the following
matter-of-fact statement:
''The national forest service, at the
instigation of the biological survey,
have withdrawn from sheep grazing in
the state of Montana, in the Gallatin
and Absaroka national forest, an area
Of about $50 square miles. This with
drawn land is estimated to be capable
of carrying from forty to fifty thous-
and sheep, and now it is to be devoted
entirely to the grazing of elk which
overflow from the Yellowstone ma
tional park.

ORCHARDS GROW At HusuM
Clearing Of Logged Off Lands an
planting Fruit is Simultaneous.

Clearing Of Logged Off Lands and
planting Fruit is Simultaneous.
Husum - About two miles west Of
Husum'' there has been more activity
displayed in clearing land for orchard
purposes than in any one spot in the
White Salmon valley. For the past
year Fred Poets, who has fine orch
ard started in that neighborhood, has
cleared tracts for ten owners of land,
the majority of whom hail from the
Atlantic states. With a large crew
of men, Mr.. Poets has worked trans
formation in what but short time
ago was a virgin forest. Tons of
powder have been used in blasting
stumps on these tracts, and as high as
80 shots have been fired within five
minutes.
When about half of each tract was
cleared fruit trees have been planted.
AS the balance of the different tracts
will be cleared by spring, the planting
of trees will be completed at that
time.
