lively good. This is more especially
true when the swine are grown in
connection with dairying. 1t follows
from the abundance of food that can
be grown which is exactly adapted to
the needs of the swine. No pasture
has ever been produced that will meet
their needs in better form than alfalfa
or that will produce so much food per
acre, and where can alfalfa be grown
better than on the irrigated lands of
Oregon? 1t follows from the further
facts that the grain that produces the
pork of the highest quality, such as
barley and field peas, may be grown in
the first form on these lands. The eli
mate also favors such production. It's
equable and mild character favors the
production of two litters per year from
the same dam should this be desired.
Tn areas with cold winters it is scarce
! ly practicable to grow profitably two
litters in one season.
"Pork thus grown should not cost
the producer more than three cents per
pound. 1t cannot be grown moro
cheaply in the best sections of the
corn belt, nor can the corn belt pro-
duce bacon Of equal quality with Ore
gon. The conditions for growing pork
of the highest quality on the irrigated
lands Of Oregon are at least as good
as they are in Denmark, and Oregon
has a great lead in the natural rich
ness Of the soil and in. the equable char
acter of the climate. Why should not
Oregon soon become an exporter of

charges that, whether they are proven

The story of the inroads of settle
ment into the Flathead Indian reserya-
ton in Western Montana forms one of
the most interesting, if one Of the
saddest, chapters in the conquest of
the West. Sad because it marks the
gradual crowding out of peaceable
tribe of native Americans from the
homes their fathers have claimed for
generations, and the consequent thrust
ing upon them Of "a civilization they
did not invite yet welcomed. For
years the Flathead, or Selfish Indians,
shared the Bitter Root valley with the
white men, even going so far as to
protect them against the attacks of
outside tribes. 1t was they who sent
four expeditions to st. Louis to induce
the miss onaries to come and tell them
of the white man s medicine after lg
mace La Mousse had come at the head
Of band of Iroquois with the mys
terious faith. Three of these expedi-
tions were never heard of again.
Brave and fearless warriors, they yet
treated the whites with more consid
Grafton than the average tribes.

have special adaptation for the produc-
ton at low cost of dairy products,
whether milk, butter, cheese or the by
products Of the dairy, as skim milk and
buttermilk.
HGood water so essential in dairy
husbandry, is abundant in all sections
where irrigation is practicable in Ore
gon. This follows from the fact that
the water comes from living streams
that in nearly all instances are Graded
in the mountains. The relation be-
tween pure water, abundant in sup
| ply, and high quality in the dairy
product is so close as to be inseparablc.
"The Oregon dairyman has great
advantage over dairymen, for instance,
who live in climates that are less
equable. He is not handicapped by
such heat in summer that comes to
the South nor by the cold in the win
ter that comes to the North east of
the Rocky Mountains. To the Oregon
dairyman the equable climate brings
much advantage 1t enables him to
prolong the grazing season and it calls
for less expensive shelter. Some per-
sons cherish the view that the man liv-
ing on irrigated lands, whose holding
is usually limited, has not room on
which to Craze his cattle, but they fail
to consider that the production of irri-
gated lands in pasture is quite as large,
relatively, as the, production Of the
same in hay.
"With the price for dairy products
as they are and as has been shown, it
is not probable that they will be less

In singing the praises of irrigation
one must not lose sight of the fact that
oftentimes the greatest returns from a
piece Of irrigated land result from
feeding the entire farm product and
taking it off in the form of dairy
products and meat. This commands
particular attention at present in view
of the high price of beef and the ac-
knowledged scarcity of it in the en-
tire country. Western irrigation has
demonstrated its effectiveness and is
still in its infancy. 1t remains for
farmers and fruit growers to find how
the best returns may be realized from
its application. Professor Thomas
Shaw, a prominent railroad agricultur-
list, emphasized the value of dairying
and stock raising on irrigated lands in
recent address before the Oregon
Irrigation Congress. While his remarks
are applied to Oregon in particular
they cover the subject in its applica'
tion to every irrigated district in the
West, for the general principle prevails
that where water is brought on to land
its best returns may be realized from
an intensive application of the profit
arising therefrom. Professor Shaw
says in part:
"In no line Of production can irri
CATION render better return than in
furnishing food that will be turned into
milk and other dairy products, meat
and wool. For the growing of these
products the door of development
stands open. In no line of agricultural
production is the chance to make good
money better or even as good.
"The reasons for the stability of the
livestock business in the future are
many. The increase in the number Of
consumers for meat and dairy products
is proceeding at much faster rate
than the animals which produce these
products. The same line of reasoning

The country in which they grew up
is rich in the grandeur of scenery, with
a wealth of tradition and historical in
cident. The valleys and hills abound
in retreats, each with it's own myth and
story. Wonderful waterfalls and lakes
are to be found everywhere, adding
charm and mystery to the one-time
haunts of primitive man. Now the In
dams are passing and the footprints of
his outward path are being obliterated
by the vineyard, the orchard and the
field of grain. Thus the ambition of
the white man is gradually encroaching
upon the Indian lands, and peaceable
coercion is being used to induce him
to retreat farther back.
For years the Indian and the white
man lived in peace together in the Bit
ter Root valley. Gradually it filled up
with immigrants from the East, and
the Garfield treaty was drawn up to
induce the Indian to retire into the

Milwaukee Road Open
Into Moses Lake Country
Branch Line Now Taps District Which Rapidly Coming to the
Front Much Activity Manifested in Lands, and Glowing
Report. of Immense Fruit Crops Are Received

R. H. Williams, president of the Chi
cage, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail
way, has just received in his Seattle
office several samples of apples and
grapes grown On twenty-acre orchard
in the new Moses Lake district east
of Wenatchee. The owner secured lO,-
900 boxes of apples alone from his
ranch during the season just past.
The Milwaukee road has completed a
branch line into the Moses Lake dis
trict, which is now in operation into
the town of Neppel, and several prof.
ects are under way for the reclama-
ton of large areas of land Recent de-
velopments in this new fruit-growing
section have resulted in considerable
activity on the part of the railroads,
who recognize the district as a future
feeder of considerable Importance. The
Great Northern Railway has surveyed
a cutoff from its main line which
passes through the center of this re-
gion.
Reports of the large crops raised by
those who have already settled in the
Moses Lake country have aroused much
interest here, and large number of
Seattle people have become financially
interested in the district. One firm is
just now placing on the market four en-
tire sections of these lands, which are
irrigated by means of pumping plants.
The entire district is underlaid with
sheet water, and in fact it was the re-
cent discovery of this water which
caused the great activity in the dis
trict. Now settlers are going in by the

hundreds Regarding this new coun-
try and it's prospects Ira D. Edwards
of Wenatchee was recently quoted as
follows:
"I have never seen any orchard in
the Wenatchee valley superior to the
one I have just visited in the Moses
Lake region. The orchard referred to
| is the Tichacek homestead, I simply
marvel at the magnificent fruit they
have grown there. The trees are now
six and seven years old and they aver
age 12 to Is boxes to the tree. Last
season there was harvested on this
place 10000 boxes Of fancy apples,
which brought $1.45 per box net
through the Wenatchee Fruit Growers
Association. The orchard produced
about 5000 boxes of Jonathans alone.
They ran fully 60 per cent extra fancy.
The size was better than four tier on
the average.
"People in other districts have no
conception of what they are doing in
the Moses Lake district. Canadians
from across the border seem to be ap-
preciating the district more than those
of us who live nearer to it. Between
Is and 20 sections Of Moses Lake or
chard land have been sold to Cana
dams in the last few months.
"First thing we know we folks in
Wenatchee and other parts of the
Northwest are going to wake up to the
fact that we must pay about twice as
much for acreage around Moses Lake
as it is selling for today. There is
great opportunity in this country"

TRAINMEN HELD FOR WRECK
Coroner Says Signal Worked and
 Trainmen Were to Blame.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 New Haven, Conn.-Three employees of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad are held by Coroner Eli Mix to be criminally responsible for the disastrous wreck at North Haven on September 2, when the White Mountain express plunged through the second section of the Bar Harbor express, exacting a toll of 21 lives
 The coroner's finding was filed after he had conducted private in quest.
 Those held to be responsible are All gustus B. Miller. engineer of the White Mountain express and Brust c. Adams and Charles H. Murray, con ductor and flagman respectively of the Bar Harbor train.
 The coroner neither planes nor ab- solves the New Haven road. He finds the signals were in perfect working order "and whether the banjo signals are obsolete or not" the accident would have been prevented if the company s rules had not been violated.

 Calico Rock.-Some of the most re- markable corn ever seen in this section has been brought in at different times during the past week by B. A. Hale, Minnesota man, who recently pur- chased small, worn out farm three and one-half miles north of here. 'This is the first crop he has made on the place. Five stalks of the corn con, tain 32 well formed ears, one stalk carrying nine ears.
 Mr. Hale has not had a horse or mule in his field this year, having cul- tivated his chop with a hand plough. The crop consists of seven acres of corn. Joe Y. Garner local merchant. who has seen his crop states that it will average 50 bushels to the acre and that he has one acre that lies in a low sag that will produce 75 bushels MT. Hale planted his crop the middle of June. His cultivation has been shallow and he has cultivated the ground flat and not in ridges as is common in this section. He has kept his hand blow moving continuously and thus has preserved the moisture.
 The crop is particularly remarkable on account of the prolonged drouth in this section. Most corn is cut very short and will not make over 20 bush els to the acre and much of it not half this amount. The farm MT. Hale pur. chased was considered almost worth less.

PROBLEM WORRIES
 STATE OFFICIALS
REVENUE FUND EXHAUSTED WITH NO PROSPECTS OF IM-
 MEDIATE RELIEF.
EXTRA SESSION DISCUSSED
Governor Favors Borrowing From Capitol Fund but Fears Legisla-
 tive Session.

 Little Rock.-Arkansas state off. cials now have problem to solve that is causing them a good deal of worry. An empty treasury is the cause.
 Arkansas general revenue fund is now exhausted and has no prospect of being relieved before March. While the same condition as at present has existed in other years and caused no unusual worry, the new law regarding saloons in Arkansas puts a different aspect on the case.
 In former years the state officials could depend on the treasury being relieved of any stringency by the liquor tax which became due in Janu- ary. But this year the officials do not anticipate this relief because of the law passed by the last legislature which. if upheld by the courts, will practically make Arkansas a dry state.
 The various institutions of Arkan- sas are supported from the general revenue fund. These institutions, the blind school, state hospital, university, etc, and also the employees of the state will bear the brunt of shortage because of their inability to cash war rants at their face value. It is ex- pected, if no relief is found, warrants will only be handled at a big discount on account of length of time 1t will be before the warrants can be redeemed.
 As means of solving the problem it has been suggested by many, and urged by State Auditor Coffman, that the governor call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of bor- rowing $400000 from the state capitol fund, and placing it to the credit of the general revenue fund.
 This plan has caused much discus sion and opposition. The capitol com mission objects to having it's funds taken becadse it has already adver- dsed for bids to complete the capitol and the people of Arkansas demand that the buildings be finished.
 On the other hand Gov. Hays fa- vors borrowing from the capitol fund but fears to call an extra session of the legislature.
 The governor fears that if he was to call session of the legislature, that body would not confine itself to the matter of authorizing the loan but would have to consider other legisla- ton, and he bases his belief on recent developments in eastern Arkansas in which the St. Francis Levee District is concerned.
 From present appearances it is not believed the governor will call tha legislature into session but will try to tide over Che present difficulty until next March when revenue beings to come in. Beginning next year the state will receive larger revenues than ever before and it is hoped by the off, cers that present conditions will not occur again.

GOVERNOR TAXES A HAND
Calls Mass Meeting of Eastern Arkan'
 sas Citizens.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock, Ark.-A mass meeting of the taxpayers in the St. Francis Levee District to be held in Marion, Crittenden county, September 30 was called Monday by Gov. Geo. w. Hays. The meeting will be a result of agita- tion and unrest among the people of the district that has resulted from years of turmoil and charges of mis- conduct among those controlling the districts finances, which, during the last few days, have caused numerous petition and telegrams to be sent the governor.
 The nature of the plan, through which relief will be sought, is un- known. Some are clamoring for a re- moval of the entire Board of Directors, but others, comprising the larger ma iority of the people of the district, do not suggest a means for remedy be- ing content to desire a straightening out of the affairs.

In a previous opinion made privately to the assessor for Garland county, MT Moose held that the law provides fee of $1 to he collected by the as- sessor for each assessment made on unknown lands or lands owned outside of his township. This opinion caused a further investigation by the attorney general. with the resulting new opin- ion handed down.
