PORT LAND. Ore., uct. 15 (Special.) In
.he middle wept ar many young mrn look
ing for new locations, where they may
build for themselves hoi.-.-s and establish
position more or less f mlnent, as their
father have done before thrm. It la no
more than fair to those among them who
ar readera of The He and are contem
plating coming to the northwest for the
purpose of earning a livelihood by tilling
the aoll, that they jhould b admonished
that they will not find existing conditions
here the same aa those In the Missouri
valley. They will not find miles and miles
of broad acre auch a exist In good old
Nebraska, Jowa and the takotas. upon
which there la neither a stick nor a atone
and where the p'" runs from one end of
the field to the other without a bobble, as
smooth as a knife cuta through fresh
cream cheeae.
Here are a few prairies, latches of land
that have never In latter times known a
tree, but there are no vast stretches, lim
ited only by the horizon, of grass land,
such as were ence to be found In the mid
dle west. Those open spaces are very fer
tile, but where located close to a railroad
are thickly settled and the ranches, as
farmers designate their holdings In this
country, are held at high figures.
Once "Continuous Wood."
It must be remembered that when this
region was first discovered by white men
It was practically speaking a vast forest
of -gigantic timber and It Is only within
a few years that the agrlcutural and hor
ticultural value of the land has been taken
largely into consideration. The lumber in
terests have been and are today rapidly
sweeping away the forests, but the stumps
remain on the logged-off tracts and these
must bo removed before the land can be
properly cultivated. To remove In the or
dinary way the stumps, brush and second
growth timber from an acre of ground Is
no child's play and compared to breaking
sod on the rolling prairie Is like doing a
week's washing with tubs and washboard
or sending It to a laundry.
Talk about the sweat of your brow,
young man. Just go out with your brush
hook, az and grub ax, In July or August,
which Is tha best time for doing this work
Into a thickly covered piece of rich ground
and It will not be long before a Russian
bath would blush for shame at Its Inability
to produce anywhere near the same amount
of perspiration.
Therefore, should you see In one of the
many newspapers you doubtless read an
advertisement similar to the following, re
member It Is not all gold that glitters:
FOR SAUK At a bargain, a splendid
tract of the richest land, nar a live
city of 10,000 people. Soil the best; run
ning water. Price $10 per acre; terms.
It Is true, there are Just such parcels of
land to be had at as low, or nearly so. a
price, and that the land when cleared and
j proper! prepared for cultivation will bring)
from 100 to 1160 per acre, but It takes
work, blame hard labor, to put the land in
i proper shape for the plow.
Another thing that must be taken Into
consideration is that men cannot bs hired
i for 20 per month In Oregon. The average
pay for a common laborer la H.B, while
'killed labor asks and raoelves as high
1 as rr to $10 per day.
U.sd that la Worth While.
After a person baa a piece of this land
'Properly prepared, he has something worth
while, for It Is astonishingly fertile, will
grow n great profusion anything suitable
to this climate and one Is always certain
of a good market (Portland), for anything;
produced. If one la ambitious to Indulge In
the dairy Industry. Oregon offers greater
attractions than any other state, unless it
be Washington, In the union. The climate
Is simply ideal, being never very hot or
severely cold, with no bad storms or blls
card weather. The water Is pure, and there
Is an abundanca of It in every part of the
state, tha country being literally covered
with living springs,, babbling brooks and
dear rivers.
Tha most Important teaturs Is tha profuse
growth of rrasses which make hay crops
that a Nebraska man would not Imagine
even In hla wildest dreams. Timothy and
clover find hera conditions axactly suited
to their growth, there never being any
danger of freealng out In winter or being
atunted by drouth In summer. Four tons
to the acre sounds like a big lot ot hay
to raise at once on so small a piece of
ground, yet this Is no unusual yield.
One of the most profitable undertakings
for tha Oregon rancher is the raising of
poultry, to which this country is particu
larly well adapted. Hens and chickens
thrive with very little care, bring an ex
cellent price and there Is always a ready
demand at good figures for eggs.
Inlai aa Attractive Branch.
One branch of the live stock Industry
seems to be neglected, although there la
spparently no good reason why such
should be tha case. This Is the breeding
and raising of swine, which thrive In Ore
gon as well as In any other state. This
Is not, generally speaking, a corn country,
although in some part ot tha stats ex
cellent -orops are raised, but a field pea
Is grown which It Is said for feeding and
fattening hogs Is superior to corn. Prides
for pork are always higher than in the
middle west and there are positively no
drawbacks to success In this branch If
proper attention Is given to It.
besides the divisions mentioned money
Is to be made In horses, sheep and goats,
thers being a constant demand and ready
market for all these anrmals. There is an
unusual scarcity of good breeding horses,
both male and female, and a splendid op
portunity for men who understand this
branch of Industry to engage In It.
in this a very brief outline has been
given of the agricultural advantages of the
Heaver state, nothing being said about
horticulture, for that Is a chapter by Itself,
although It may be mentioned in passing
that Oregon produces some of the finest
fruit, especially apples. In the world.
Uoud Place (or Workers.
To the young man who expects to make
his way in the world by the sweat of his
brow Oregon offers the most splendid op
porturJtles. Uttle success Is to be had In
this busy world of ours without some hard
knocks, and this part of the northwest has
as many beds of roses as Is to be found
tn any other part ot the world.
One thing Is certain, the man who ob
tains a foothold on a piece ot land In Ore
gon will find It rapidly advancing In value,
helping him thereby to materially improve
his standing In the financial world.
Whether he aets hla stakes in th south
astern part of the commonwealth, where
as yet much unbroken territory Is to be
found, or In the wonderful Willamette val
ley, where fruits and flowers blossom and
grow as in a Garden of Eden, It Is a Cer
tainty that hs will profit by his Invest
ment. All conditions are favorable and all signs
Joint to a rapid, substantial advance all
tiung the line. J. M.
Fifteen Students of Omaha University
Have Fine Diversion Basket
Ball Team Busy.
Accompanied by rof. Sterns fifteen
young nun of tne University of Omaha
Friday evening hiked to tne Jorgensen
larni, three miles noith of Florence. The
oi I'uit of the evening was spent around
a ramp fire In the grove, where a camp
u.per wa served and college sons were
ung. As the night wore on the freshtmn
were required to do "stunts. " one fresh
man knew nothing about snipe hunting,
out a as willing to learn. The other tnem
Peis of the party escorted him to a spot
about two miles from camp, where he pa
ut'iitly held sack and lantern for two hours
w-ioie he disco ered that snipe are out of
season.
the boys left camp about o'clock Sat
urday morning to take breakfast with a
number of the girls who leathered at th.
nome of Miss lines Umerout.
Friday the freshmen class met to choose
oftlciia for the ensuing year. Those elected
were: President, fcybil Woodruff: vice
president. Mia Wilson: secietuiv Mia.
uurkheimer; treasurer, Miss llorton: Ber-
seants at-anns, Zeis dinar and Frann
delby.
basket ball practice was begun in earnest
last week, enough men reporting to form
three siiuaas. Practice has brought to
light much very good material, Including
Ueorge rarlsh, a Youlig Men's Christian
association player of much ability and ex
perience as a forward. Clinton Halaey. an
other candidate for one of the forward po
sitions, la fast and an accurate goal
tosser. Jerome, a former Columbus player,
Is tne most likely candidate for center, as
he plays a steady, consistent game and
may always be relied upon for many goals.
However, in Sterner, a freBhman. the
school has another aspirant for center,
who, though a Uttle shy on experience.
gives promise of being a valuable man for
the team. For guards there are Captain
Dow, last year with Bcllevue; Belby and
Salisbury. Games will be scheduled with
nearby colleges, and It Is believed that th
team will give a very good account of
Itself.
Debating Is also forging to the front.
Ivast week a series of debates as class
work was started, and a committee on ar
rangements for debates was appointed.
Negotiations are now pending which will
result either' In two dual debates or a
triangular debate with two other colleges.
Last year the school had one forensic con
test and was victorious in that.

Rental agents are declaring that the
easiest thing to dispose of are two and
three room apartments like those of the

"Farming out' of a book" has been the
subject of laughter and of ridicule among
old-fashioned agricultural craftsmen for
all th year since farming was taken Into
their laboratories by scientists. Yet It has
proven true," many times In recent years,
that the book farmer not Infrequently had
the laugh on the other fellows. Study and
development of dry farming, so-called, has
been the key to this peculiar situation.
Ross R. Martin of Powera Lake, N. D.,
farms out of books and likewise keeps
books on his farming. When lie began lus
neighbors smiled tolerantly, anticipating a
big laugh later; and they haven't had It
yet. Writing to H. W. Campbell, the Ne

Speaking of Martin's crop this year (a dry
season In North Dakota as elsewhere), th
Stanley (N. D.) Fun says It "stands out
like a hill on th plain and looks Ilk a
crop raised In a bumper year. Th wheat
Is green and tall and the oats are dark
and rich." And ironically the newspaper
writer adds, "The neighbors have omi
prospects of a crop."
Martin's wheat went thirty-four bushels
to the acre, and another advocate of th
sam system says: "There are two poles
to every battery, and my theory Is that
when the farmer uses this system Intelli

will have polarised a powerful eurrent
