of seismic disturbance.
Careful watching is advised by Mr..
Hicks from the 7th to the 9th, and
frost is due from the It'll to the 18th
generally.
High temperature, daily rains and
thunderstorms, with probable lorna
does, is on the menu for the 18th to
the 10Th, and floods over the wide sec
tions follow Immediately.
Much cooler weather is due from
the 10th to the 18th. From the 10Th
to the 22nd is not seriously threaten
ing, but look out for tornadoes.
Quiet and calm and much warmer
until the oath will usher in the most
dangerous period of sthe month, and
on the 18th, Goth and 9th. storms
may be expected to become very
threatening, if not tornado.
The 9th is the twelfth anniversary

Train will Result in
Much Good.

The o. R. & N. farming demonsfrs
ton train pulled in Tuesday evening
little ahead OF schedule time, arrivin
at seven minutes after 5 o'clock.
About 300 people including a larg
number of farmers were at the depot t
hear the lectures.
The meeting was very interesting AM
instructive and created a good lmpres
sion among the people here.
There was not much ceremony anc
within five. minutes after the arrival 0
the train the professors were talking
and explaining the object of their visit
r. B. Miller who is at the head O
the traffic department of the o
r & n Co., was the first speaker and
made rief Introductory address.
Mr.. Miller said that the railroads and
farmers should be partners owing to
their allied interests and impressed the
people with the fact that the railroads
could hot be prosperous unless the
farmers and the people were prosper
QUE in the county through which the
railroad trayersed.
DR.. Withycomb of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College followed Mr.. Miller.
DR.. Withycomb spoke OF the great de-
velopment OF the Inland Empire and
said that Heppner had gained a national
reputation for having some of the best
stock in America. He urged co-opera-
ton between the grain and stock grow
ers. That our mutton and logs bhould
be fattened right here at home in our
grain fields.
We are just entering upon an era OF
tremendous agricultural development
and the great Ipland Empire is the
cream of the country" said the speak
er.
He said that there are two systems OF
agriculture, one is to tear down and the
other is to build up. In order to follow
the latter system, the farmer must ban

oeas should be sown after a wheat crop

He said that while the western por-
ion of the state was great tor dairying,
t was small indeed when compared
With the great Inland Empire, on which
ome day we must depend upon for ag-
icultural products.
"We have not yet reached the first |
etter OF the alphabet in agriculture,
