The railroads have agreed to grant
farmers of the Inland Empire a fat
rate of 40 cents per hundred on grain
bags shipped in carload lots from
points on the coast to various points
in the wheat producing sections of
southeastern Washington. This re-
duCtion means a saving of from % to
80 per cent on the rates formerly in
effect While the new rate is very ac-
ceptable to the farmers it is noticeable
that the railroads did not make the re-
duction until strong pressure had been
brought to bear by the Farmers Union.
This is only one instance of what the
farmers can accomplish in the matter
of securing better freight rates if they
will work in harmony for the better
ment of the agricultural industry as
A whole instead of the individual.
Farmers of the Inland Empire are en-
titled to a better rate on their wheat
shipped TO tide water and they
should not rest until this has been
granted. The new rate on grain bags
should just be the beginning.

WORKING WITH OPPORTUNITY

The White Bluffs Spokesman tells an
interesting story of practical working
with opportunity in building a home in
that rich fruit belt of the Columbia
river basin. A young German home
seeker arrived in the town on a Satur-
day. The next day he communed with
nature, listened to the songbirds and
looked over the country On Monday
morning be purchased a sagebrush-
covered tract of land and began the
erection of a home. That night he
slept under his own roof The follow
ing day he started work in clearing
away the brush, making ready for
blowing the soil and putting it under
cultivation preparatory to planting an
early fruit orchard.
That lone German boy will succeed
because he has embraced the oppor-
tunity and proposes to develope the soil
possibilities. He did not waste any
time in going about from place to place

cred the soil. climate and other re-
quirements for successful horticulture.

of the war with Mexico in 1916 The

late Judge Bigelow, who was the
founder of Cameron county, was not
erected until some time during the
