DRY FARMING
congress MEET
NEXT CONGRESS TO DISCUSS IT'S
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES WILL
MEET AT CHEYENNE-GREA AT
SUCCESSES SHOWN.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Nov. 3-With the
organization Of the board of control
OF the Trans Missouri Dry Farming
congress this mont hthere is started
a most important work in the de-
velopment Of the west. A few years
ago sO-called dry farming" began
to attract attention in many sections
of the arid states. Many farmers
had been operating in sections where
rainfall was slight and irrigation Inn
pc ssible and had been securing splen-
did results were but the outcome Of
temporary conditions such as excess
sive rainfall and cleverly manipulate
ed small tracts, and that no real val
Tie or significance attached to these
isolated instances.
Meantime Prof. H. NJ Campbell Of
Nebraska had been conducting a SER
les of experiments along scientific
lines and had succeeded in making
tests of a rather severe character and
getting crops that proved something
tangible In the way of demonstrative
argument. giving strength to the OPP
timistic claims made by hopeful land
agents. These results became known
tn J. P. Pomeroy OF Colorado Springs
who owned several thousand acres of
western KANSAS land and pr0f.
Campbell was quickly. Installed upon
an experimental farm at Hill City.
Kansas. The demonstrations Of the
f,rst three years produced results
that fixed the status o. dry farm
ing and forced the price Of unirri-
gated lands upward year by year.
|. General Manager Holdredge of tie
Burlington railway was among thosA
who early saw the possibilities and
he soon established experimental sta
tons along his line. The Santa Fe
railway and other transportation
companies followed quickly and
states and communities began to
making careful tests of operative
condi ions. Government stations
were established and the machinery
o: experimentation was set at work
In many states and territories. Great
good followed all this EFFORT, but IN
some instances 1t was found that i'm
migration agents were rushing
homesteaders and land buyers upon
the arid plains regardless of soil
conditions or financial ability to
play the role Of pioneer.
Colorado enthusiasts who had
watched the worthless lands Of the
eastern plains take on unmistagabl'
values and the cactus and sage brush
give way to waving grain fields saw
the necessity Of organizing an edu
cational propaganda by which tn
thousands of new settlers might b
protected from failure and through
which the world at large might b.
educated as to the actual condition
under which so-called dry farming
can be made successful.

FACTS, NOT PROMISES,
FROM P. S. 7. Co.
AN ABSOLUTELY NEW TELE
PHONE SERVICE FOR
ASTORIA.

Yesterdays ll;40 express from
Portland brought to this city, three
prominent officials OF the Pacific
States Telephone Company, namely
David S. Murray, general superin-
tendent Of plants; c. W. Burkett
chief engineer, both from San Fran
cisco; and Charles w. Reynolds, di-
vision superintendent OF plants, with
headquarters in Portland. These gen
tlemen came to Astoria for the ex-
press purpose OF closing the contract
for the immediate construction of the
company's new headquarter building
in this city and assuring an early start
on this and all other matters Of gen
eral improvement guaranteed for the
Astoria system
The contract for the construction
Of the fine headquarter station on the
company's Exchange street property,
between Eleventh and Twelfth streets
was awarded yesterday afternoon to
Messrs Ferguson & Houston, from
among the four bids heretofore filed
in this behalf by the firm above nam
ed, by Charles a. Palmberg, by Lean
der Lebeck, and by Axel Johansen,
the figures of the several bids, includ-
ing those OF the successful firm, being
withheld by the Pacific States people.
General Superintendent Murray
said yesterday, in the course Of an in
terview, that "the new building, un-
der the terms of the contract, must
be begun by Monday next, and de-
livered to the company, completed, at
the end Of go days, or by December
lst, next; that the money has been
appropriated for this and all other
improvements to the system in AS
toria, including new instruments, new
switchboard, new equipment, through
out, and entire, all to be installed as
soon as the new building is ready;
that he hoped to be able to start the
installation of the new apparatus, in
part, by November 18th, completing
everything, wholly, and perfectly by
New Years Day; that, included in the
new scheme Of equipment, would be
at least $4,000 worth Of additionalJ

cabling, aside from what has been al
ready done, and that this would leave
the heart Of the city divcstcd utterly
of the single strings of wires, the
open wires all coming down.
Mr.. Murray said, further, that the
contemplated improvements would in
clude two additional long distance
circuits out Of Astoria, thus giving
her special and direct service, through
Portland, north, east and south, which
will minimize all delay in that de-
partment Of the business; that, in
cluding the recent cabling here, and
all that is now 10 be done for the
Astoria service, would cost approxi-
mately, 100000, and would give the
city practically, an absolute new serv-
ice, and strictly up-to-date; and that
what he had said must be accepted as
fact, and not promise; the money was
available and would be used for this,
the purpose for which it had been
set apart by the company"
Division Superintendent Of Con-
struction Charles w. Reynolds, Of
Portland, will be in immediate charge
Of the Astoria work, until it shall be
finished and turned in as part and
parcel Of the company's system.
Messrs. Murray and Burkett left
up for the metropolis on the 610 ex-
press last evening.
