Great

The most undeveloped portion OF
aJmatiIla county and one OF the most
andeveloped parts of the whole north
west. considering its natural riches,
~ the southern part of Umatilla
county extending from Pilot Rock TO
the Grant county line This great
section has not yet been traversed by
a railroad and because Of this fact
she progress OF the section has been
retarded and land prices are ABB
normally low compared with the
prices that prevail in the principal
wheat belt of Umatilla county.
out south of Pilot Rock there is
much range land that is adapted TO
farming and win be used for farming
some day. The land is used for graz
ing now and is held mostly in large
tracts. The Cunningham sheep &
Land Co. have $4,000 or $4,000 acres.
fugg Bros. have 5000 acres; Pedro
s2ras 5000 acres, and other sheep
men have good holdings. Most OF
shis land can be bought now and will
seIl from $40 to SIS per acre. The
sand is good farming land and raises
good crops when properly farmed.
Some men have gone in there and
paid for their land entirely with
money gotten from one crop on their
places. That land offers a better re-
surn on the investment than does land
an the chief wheat belt of the county.
Dairying Taken Up.
Within the last two years dairying
mas been taken up by many farmers
near Pilot Rock. chiefly the owners
of small ranches along the streams
ar in the foothills. Three carloads
of Holstein cattle were imported and
with good success. The promise is
held out that as soon as 200 COWS
are secured a creamery will be start
ed for the purpose of making butter
at Pilot Rock. At the present time
The cream Is shipped to Pendleton or
TO Walla Walla- 1t is stated by ex-
perts who have visited the Pilot Rock
country that the region Is well adapt
I'D to dairying.
Camas Prairie.
Camas prairie is a district about 10
miles square and is an important por-
zion of southern Umatilla county. The
elevation is about 2,50e feet. This
prairie like all the rest of southern
Umatilla county is sparsely settled. 1t
rs used chiefly for stock raising.
Timothy hay is one of the chief crops
and the hay grows in abundance. 1t
rs of a better quality tnan the timothy
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-12-31

grown on lower lands and always
sells at a good price when within
reach of market At the present
time the hay is fed to cattle as it
cannot he shipped because of the
lack of railroad facilities.
Considerable fruit is grown south
of Pilot Rock the chief crops being
apples and berries Most of this
fruit is along the streams and is irri-
gated, Some classes of fruit will
grow however without irrigation.
Some of the finest berries raised in
the world come from southern Una
tilla county and those raised on the
high attitudes are late, coming TO the
market in August, a time at which
Strawberries are scarce and so bring
good prices.
Homestead Chances Poor.
Many people inquire as TO the op
portunities for securing homestead
land in southern Umatilla county,
There is some government land still
open for homesteading but 1t is us
ually remote, being situated far out
in the range sections or in the noun
tains. There is little inducement for
the homesteader who wishes to take
UP place with a view TO making his
home on the place and making liv-
ing from the homestead. An ener-
getic man can probably make money
easier than by taking up a home
stead and working it.
Great Timber Resource.
The most important single resource
of southern UmatilIa county at pres
eut is the timber. In the southern
part of this county and a portion of
northern Grant county there is over
one thousand million feet of standing
timber. The best portion of this tim
ber is yellow pine and all that is
needed is a railroa dime in order to
make this timber available for use.
1t is generally thought that when the
Pilot Rock branch is extended south
ward to the timber a sawmill will be
established in Pendleton for the pur-
pose of manufacturing lumber from
this timber.
OF the timber in southern Umatilla
1 am informed that five hundred
million feet belong to Philadelphia
owners who are represented by Mr..
Griswold of Portland. These owners
have been desiring to nave a railroad
extended to their holdings and the
fact that the O.-W. r. & N. Co. has
gone to the expense OF making a sur
ed in Pendleton it will be of great
advantage to this town.

that the road may be built soon. III
this is done and sawmill establish
branch is doing we'll and its traffic
Is increasing as Is shown by the fact
it has just been necessary to enlarge
the freight depot at Pilot Rock.
With the railroad extended south
to Grant county that whole undcvel-
oped section will be opened up to
farming and settlement The land is
good and with railroad facilities
man could make good living on 100
acres in the southern part of the
county, provided he had his place
properly stocked The timber land
win be good farming land after the
timber Is removed. That section will
be ideal for dsirying when the rail-
road is constructed

Since the Pilot Rock branch was
built the town OF Pilot Rock and the
whole section affected have gone for

Some homesteads have been taken

they have played the leading parts In
"Old Heidelberg many times, and
four days were spent there going over
the various scenes from the play of
that name; Weisbaden, Cologne, YER

In speaking of their trip Miss Brow
nell declared she was in love with
Paris, while Mr.. Stork was fondest of
Heidelberg. I'VE had a delightful
trip, but the more we saw of Europe
the better we liked America, and are
both glad to be back home again with
our many friends in Newark"
When asked by a Star reporter as
to their future plans, Mr.. Stork de-
clared that they were booked for a
four weeks engagement at the Shu-
bert Theatre, beginning August 30, In
the sketch, 'Elevating a Husband"
but that after that they had no
further plans.
While they were in Europe Mr..
Stork said that they visited all of the
leading tehatres and spent most of
their evenings in the various play
houses.

Swat the flyer"
That is the battle-cry of the mod
ern dreadnought battleship. The
flying machine is today the greatest
terror of the men who go down to
the sea in $15,000,000 floating forts.
The fact is that the navies of the
world are feverishly trying, on the
one hand, to find way to avoid the
bird machines, and on the other hand
to build as many war aeroplanes as
they can.
In considering the effect of an ae-
roplane in battle too many people
are apt to pit single plane against
a battleship. How easy to put one
or two or a half dozen flyers out of
businessi
But navy men have not fallen into
this error. They know it would be
just as foolish for naval command
er to send one aeroplane against a
battleship as 1t would for a military
commander to send one machine gun
against brigade of troops. They
know that their problem figures out
about as follows:
A battleship costs from 1000, 900
to 10000 900; 1t carries a crew of
1000 men.
An aeroplane costs from $1,000 to
10000 and carries a crew of not more
than two men.
Therefore, to be sure of success
against the battleship the proper
tactics would be to send a fleet of
from twenty-five to 100 aeroplanes,
or even 200, into the fight.
Suppose there were 100 in our fleet
and fifty of them would be destroyed
and their crews drowned. 1t isn't
altogether probable that this would
happen. but suppose it did. In men
we would lose 100 lives; in money less
than a million.
But at that there isn't a chance in
the world that the battleship would
escape, so the count against the air
ship loss would be the destruction of

Found CIinging TO Raft.
Miss Ward and seven members of
the crew of the State of California
were found clinging to a raft by the
crew of the Jefferson. Miss Ward
died as the result of twenty hours
exposure before she reached Juneau
The State Of California sailed from
Seattle last Wednesday night. The
vessel cargo, mail and express Is a
total loss, the estimated value being
more than $1,000, 900.
Ten bodies have been recovered.
The State of California was going
at full speed when she struck the
reef and a great portion of the ships
bottom was torn off. Most of the
passengers and members of the crew
who persisted were in their sta e-
rooms. The crew numbered fifty-two
men. Captain Cam and forty men
are on the Jefferson returning to

a $15,600,0OO battleship and 1000 lives.
1t would take at least year to
build another battleship while the
loss of fifty aeroplanes would be re-
placed within a month or two.
The aeroplane would be the hardest
sort of a mark to hit from the deck
of a rolling ship. But how about
hitting 100 aeroplanes?
The protection afforded the ship by
it's deck armor wouldn't be very great
in reign of high explosives such as
a fleet of aeroplanes could drop on it.
1t was proven by the work of air
scouts In Turkey that the piercing of
a wing two or three times by bull
let does not put an aeroplane out of
action.
In Tripoli Italian airmen were able
to drop bombs in Turkish camps and
do tremendous execution and then get
away. So far in warfare there have
been two men killed and several Sc
verely wounded while flying.
In a trial in Paris an eX-American
army officer demonstrated device
which shoots as accurately from an
aeroplane as the big guns of war
ship shoot-70 per cent. of hits.
Now suppose we send our fleet of
100 aircraft against a battleship and
each ship drops two bombs with 70
per cent. of hits. That is 140 bombs
out of 200 landing. One would be
enough to wreck the ship.
So we can readily believe that these
little craft that carry but two men
and cost so little will become the ter
ror of sea fighting:
First, because of the deadly nature
of the bombs carried by the airmen.
Second, because there are so many
aircraft against each individual ship.
Third, because no ship has yet been
built, or ever will be built, that can
get away from an aeroplane fleet that
is once started after 1t.
An aeroplane could give battle
ship fifty miles start and catch her
before she had been going half an
hour

CLERIC OVERRULED
AS PATHFINDER
lryington Town Council De-
nounces Him in Rejecting
His License Protests.

Denouncing the Rev. George Foun-
tain, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, as a chronic fault-f1nder,
Councilman Frank r. Sharp led the
Ipvington Town Council in overruling
the protests which the clergyman had
entered against the renewal of three
saloon licenses because of former vio-
lations of the law. The personalities
between the councilman and the cler-
gyman became so unparllamentary
that Mayor David II. Greene cut short
the dispute by vigorous bangs OF his
gavel
The trouble started when Mr.. Foun-
tain said that he wanted to enter en-
phatic objections against the renewal
of three saloon licenses. These were:
Walter r. Benette, of Clinton ave-
nue.: Emil Auth, OF $40 Springfield
avenue, and Firmin Judas. of 156
Union avenue.
Mr.. Fountains Charge.
1.-TWO of these places" declared Mr..
Fountain. "have been convicted in the
courts of excise offenses. Emil AUTH
was fined for Sunday selling before
the recorder. The establishment oper-
ated at 1856 Union avenue has also
been found guilty of the violation OF
the license law. Firmin Judas makes
the application for the Unfon avenue
place this year. Last year the license
was granted to another. rms chahs-
ing Of proprietors is but trick 10

were anxious to prevent the repeated
violations of the law in that place,

"I do not want" shouted Council
man sharp "any man to come here
and tell me l am trying to evade the
law. The Town Council in the last
few months have been handling the
excise question admirably.
Here Mr.. Fountain attempted to in
terrupt. 'sWait until | get through"
exclaimed Mr.. Sharp IT do not go
down to your church and sit in pew

The evasion of the law. l have been
around town and have not observed
any evidences of the repeated viola
tions of the law which Mr.. Fountain
is making such a fuss about. 1t Is
true the members of the Town
Council do not go around sticking
their noses into other peoples bust
ness and looking for evidence, like
some people we know Of"
Councilman Applauded.
This sally of the councilman re-
ferring to the Sunday detective work
done by the clergyman evoked loud
applause from the audience in the
council chamber.

tain, shaking his finger at Council
man Sharp, when the latter had re-
sumed his seat, that I and members
of my church worked for you prior
to your election. When the next
election comes around we will act
differently. l have stood by the
members of this council, and I resent
being told that ] am here to do any

The Town Council voted unani-
fnously to grant the license to the
Union avenue establishment. The
: same course was pursued with refer
ence to the other protests lodged by
Mr.. Fountain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Individual
identity of the many officials of the

visions. Postmaster-Genera Burleson
has prohibited the addressing of his
subordinates as Mr.. Brown or Mr..

If Mr.. Brown happens to be the first
assistant postmaster-gen Mr..
Burleson wants him addressed as the

THE correspondents have cabled
that the Mexican government has
stated that its note to Lind demands
that the United States recognize the
Huerta government before IL o'clock

tically to that effect.

II brought the matter to the urgent
attention of the minister of foreign
affairs at 10 p. m. He Immediately
saw the president and Minister Go

posed to have given out the statement
and he authorized me to deny this
statement to my government as hav-
ing no foundation in fact"
The senators also were shown a
dispatch from John Lind, In which
he said: Spent two hours with

dial"
The message was received at 2:10 a..

The senators conferred briefly with
President Wilson and as they left the
White House said they were satisfied
that alarming reports were not justi-
fed. They still were hopeful that Mr..
Lind's efforts to bring about an
amicable understanding would be
successful.
Tone of Note Is ScornfuI.
Both senators were acquainted with
the contents of Huerta's note to the
American government cabled by
Charge O'Shaughnessy to the state
department. Although the tone of the
note is scornful in its rejection of the
American suggestions, nothing in 1t
related to an ultimatum or demand
for recognition.
