Buckner Says Umatilla County Cannot Bo Excelled. "Many mistakes were made by the pioneer orchardists In this country, In selecting the variety of apples to plant," said W. F. Buckner, an ex perienced orchardlst, living near the state line in Umatilla county, to the East Oregon Ian today. "Because of these unfortunate mis takes, some of the oldest bearing ap ple orchards In the county produce fruit that is not saleable, to day, In competition with fruit grown on well selected orchards. In the first place, apples should be selected to suit the country In which they are to be grown, and then varieties should be selected to suit the market In wh,Ch I hey are to be sold. "Here, where the market for win ter apples Is in the northern states, where long, cold winter are the rule hardy, good keepers must be grown Apples that ripen and begin M decay In the middle of the winter are not the kinds to grow here. "I have found the Rome Beauty, the Wlnesap and the Yellow Newton Plp. ' oesl a"pted to this country.

T. G. HA1LEY RETURNS. Was Successful In ills Itlgnt of Way Case on the Condon-Arlington Hallway Line, T. G. HnUy returned last evenlm from Condon where he has been en gaged in several right of way suits, along the line of the Condon-Arling ton railway. He was successful In the two cases tried, winning a verdict for $2700 In tlement of the cases on this basis was largely due to the liberal policy ot J. W. Morrow, right of way ana mnu agent for the O. H. & N., who made a close personal Investigation of the claims, and consented to allow some thing near the value of the right ot way. to the owners of the land. A Inrare number of men are worn- lug on the Condon-Arlington branch road, and it will be hurried to com pletion as rapidly as possible, wnne this road will open up an extensive country, Mr. Halley declares inai none of the country tributary to u, compares to the Umatilla county wheat or alfalfa land. Many settlers are going Into the In terior, in hopes that the railway fa cilities will afford an outlet for In creased products, but there Is very little good farming land left vacant anywhere within a reasonable dis tance of the proposed line. In all his travels this season, Mr. Halley has not yet found a country that offers the same opportunities for all classes of people, as the west, and especially Umatilla county.
