Railroad Must Come to
An Accessible Point

In discussing the railroad situa-
ton with people who are familiar
with the Riverside country IL is
found that IL must be completed
to a few miles this side of that
point to make it available for
freighting to this section. II
had been pointed out to the rail.
road people before that the build
ing to Riverside would be of nc
advantage TO this Valley as il
would be a very expensive pro
position to build wagon road
that would make it possible to
haul loads from that place.
ID. A. Brakeman was discuss
ing the situation with a repre-
sentative of The Times-Herald
this week and he is familiar with
the country as he has been
freighting over that road for the
past several years. Mr.. Brake
man states that with a few miles
of railroad this side Of Riverside
it would be a great advantage to
shipping into this section as thus
it would place the line within
Harney county and roads could
be built then. In fact it would
not require much road building
to make il possible to bring
maximum loads from the rail-
road.
This matter should be impress
sed upon the railroad people and
try to induce them to bring the
line as far as possible just as
soon as it can be done. Mr..
Hanley told US the other evening
that the line was started with
the express purpose of tapping
the Big Harney Country and
that. it will not be profitable
investment until it has given the
products of this big section an
outlet. The only way to do that
is to bring it near enough that
products may be hauled out and
to secure shipments of freight in
it must be at a point that may be
reached by freight teams other
wise shipments will be made to
points that are available.

1t is rather early for the snow
to go off, but we have the advan-
tage of a soil that is ready to abb
sorb a great amount of moisture
and less will run off to the lakes
and lost than in some former
years. The ground is not frozen
to any depth and with the soft
weather it will thaw and allow
the moisture to enter the ground.
Farmers near the water source
are anxious to stop this waste of
water every spring that comes
down and damages their crops
and flows on 10 the lakes where
it does no one any good. Storage
of the flood water is absolutely
necessary and each year it is al
lowed to ruin off the developm mt
of the country is retarded another
year. II must be stored. wheth-
er "Uncle Sam" is to do il by
taking a mortgage on his own
as advocated by some.
or private capital given til e

Well. WE'LL The Times-Herald

ferred homestead bill introduced
by Congressman Sinnott 1t was
clipped with the intention of
making some comment but escap-
ed tine notice of the manager

However, it doesn't necessarily
follow that this paper condepned
the measure because of publishing
this criticism. 1t isn't the Gus
tom Of this great religious to call
attention to what it has done or
contemplates, but since the mat
ter has come up we publish be
low an editorial that appeared in
these columns on May II, of last
year that may throw some light
on where it stands on the land
laws, and especially the Sinnott
bill. We are too modest to even
suggest that our congressman
might have received some point
ers. as he is one of the few who
do not take this great religious
weekly : which is certainly his
loss. He may never even have
seen this article, as we didn't
send him copy of it. but believe
one was sent to Mr.. Teal. 1t

this alkali it doesn't do any

tive way of getting rid of alkali
entirely is by teaching and wash

Yesterday afternoon Prof.
Hyslop took up alfalfa as his
first subject. He advises some
other crop on the land preceding
this crop, but if it is to be seed
ed on new ground to fallow it for
one season to get good supply
Of moisture and to insure success
the ground should be innoculated.
The best varieties for the dry
farm are Baltic and Grimm. II
should be planted in a single row
3 to 81 feet apart and drilled in
to a depth Of l to IA inches deep.
Sow from / TO 2 lbs. to the acre.
After 1t has come up it should be
cultivated to destroy weeds and
make n mulch to hold the mois-
tura. The following spring il
should be cross cultivated with
spring tooth or disc harrow or
weeder, as it must be thin. the
plants to be at least 8 inches
apart in the rows or even thinner
where the moisture is scarce.
Alfalfa is sure to be a successful
here on dry land and makes an
excellent crop for seed. hay and
pasture.
He also recommends rape as n |
and profitable crop in
this section. Also root crops for
succulent feed fore stock in
winter. Rape will bloat cattle
and sheep at first, but they will
inally get used TO it. Hogs will
