A clean barn with well kept
ward about it is always attractive,
speaking, as it does, of thrift and
energy. 4 clean barn is not an
empty one, but one that is fll1d
only with good seed for the stock,
and not messed up with waste, dirt
of all kind, and Il Heterogeneous mass
of old broken and WORKOUT tools
and miscellaneous rubbish. A barn
may be kept so that one can go INTO
il without looking like he had been
dragged through dust heap; ana
can also be kept free from upleas-
ant and unwholesome odors.
So clean up this spring and get
things in shape. Make the place
rool, lil:n somebody lives there. have
il neat, wholesome and attractive.
You can do it: and it will pay in
dollars ard cents, in added salts

UNION PACIFIC WILL
ESPEND LARGE AMOUNT

Spokane Wash, Dec. /. - Robert
Scott Lovett, chairman of the execu-
tive committees of the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific Railway COM
panies, who is making tour of the
northwest with party Of officials Of
both roads, announced during visit
in Spokane that millions of dollars
will be expended in extending the
Hartman system in Washington and
into central Oregon, also that the
Deschutes canyon in Oregon will rOe
traversed by its lines, regardless of
the activities of the Hill roads. He
added that every acre Of territory that
is legitimately in the districts tribu-
tary to the Hartman lines will be de-
veoped, saying also that improve
ments and extensions planned before
the passing of e. Fl. Hartman will be
completed. Mr.. Lovett said he believes
the country is in a good way to bet
ter and more substantial commercial
development, though he would not fore
cast an era of renewed prosperity in
any special line. However, he marvel
ed at the progress, of which he saw
| evidences in all industries in the
northwest, saying there is too much
to do and too much energy and CO.
operation to permit of arrested de-
yelopment in the western states.

saloonkeepers agreed upon the quantity to be
