ut ought never to happen in
country like ours that the salary Of any

"The other day my attention was

"If men love money more than they
do glory, then there is great danger that
they will betray their country in order
to line their pockets. refuse to believe
that the American Republic has reached
that point yet; know it is net as il
once was, welded to glorious traditions
and high ideals know it is not now as
it was in the day of our fathers, when
the honor was everything aud the sal
airy was nothing; but had not believed
that we had passed so far beyond those

BUILD STATE RAIL
ROADS.
State Ownership q Step towards
Government Ownership.

Government Ownership.
On another page of this issue
will be found an article showing
the action taken by the Oregon
legislature toward legalizing
action by the residents of the
counties ofthat statefo bonding
the several counties for the pur-
pose of constructing transporta-
tion lines. This action is a step
in the right direction and will
be of immense benfit to the oun-
try. Foryears the Harrimans VS.
TEN has controlled all the trans
portation lines and prevented de-
velopment Of Oregon and south
ern Idaho, by proper railroad
construction, charging exhorbi-
tant rates, and by unfair means
checkmating all efforts of other
companies. Hartman holds the
right OF way to the most practi-
cable route from Boise to Coos
Bay-through Malheur Canyon
but there is another route that
in our Judgment is not only prac-
teal but would develop large
body of fine agricultural land
and tap the largest and best
stock raising country in the west.
A very practical line could be
built from Snake river up the
Malheur river through Barren,
Anderson, Happy, Bitten, and
to Harvey Valley country, cross
ing Malheur Lake at The Mar
rows from which place a line
could be run to Burns, while the
main line could be continued up
Silver Greek and on through
Crook Co., and over a good pass
to the Willamette Valley and
to Coos Bay. This route would
be but very few miles longer
and much cheeper to construct
than the proposed line by Harri-
man via. Malheur Canyon, and
would open to Cultivation and
settlement an area as large ifnot
larger than the entire Harvey
Valley. To day and tomorrow
the meeting of the Oregon-Idaho
Development Congress at Boise
will be in session and this subject
duly considerd.
The Oregon Idaho Develop
ment Congress which will be held
in Boise Feb. 1921 shows every
sign OF being the most successful
convention ever held in that city.
An excellent program has been
made up and several of the most
prominent men of Oregon and
Idaho have agreed to deliver ad-
dresses on subjects coming with
in the scope OF the Congress.
While the Oregon-Idaho Con-
gress is aiming to develop both
states in a general way, to en-
courage irrigation projects and
to advance the commercial inter-
est within the territory embraced,
its main object is to build a rail-
road from Coos Bay, Oregon, to
some point in Southwestern Ida
no, probably Boise. The plan
adopted by the Congress for the
building Of this road is to issue
bonds on thecredit of the people.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1909-02-26

road or else a railroad district
similar to the well knogn irriga-
tion districts of the west viii be
created and bonded for the build
ing of the road passing through
it. This is not only simple but
it is an absolutely sure way OF
building railroads. Such bonds
will find a ready market in any
money centerin the United States
and it will not be a lien on the
land Of any county to exceed so
cents or rs cents per acre.
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and
Wisconsin built their first rail-
roads in this way. These states
we're in the grasp of a single rail
road corporation just as Oregon
and Idaho are in the grasp of
Mr.. Hartman. They found that
bona fide promoters could not
borrow money to build railroads
in those states regardless of how
valuable the roads might be
after having been constructed.
The credit of the proposed rail
road was not the best and the
railroad interests were always
able to prevent the interested
parties from borrowing the nee
essary money to build the rail
roads which they proposed. The
people of those states therefore
decided to bond themselves;
county bonds for the purpose Of
building railroads found a ready
market all over the United States,
backed by the credit of the coun-
ty, they were a good investment
for rich and poor and were read
| lily sold. Kansas, Iowa and Ne
braska were in a few years grid
ironed with railroads. 1t is true
that all of these railroads were
not paying investments but they
made those states the three best
developed and richest states in
the Central West, and though
Improbable for a few years to-
day every mile of road built in
those states by the aid Of the
county credit is good paying
investment.
1t is the object OF the Oregon
Idaho Congress to have passed
such a law as will enable the
people of Oregon and Idaho to
accomplish the same result.
While this Congress has in mind
now a railroad from Coos Bay to
Boise yet the passage OF such
laws must be OF unreasonable
benefit to every city in the state.
1t will enable any section which
feels that it needs and can sup
port a railroad to organize itself
into a railroad district, issue it's
bonds and build the road; after
the road is constructed it can be
leased to the proper parties or it
can be sold outright.
The citizens of Oregon and Ida
no are invited to attend this Con
gress. The Oregon legislature has
already passed the necessary legis-
lation and large convention at
Boise will make an impression on
the Idaho legislature which will
aid III the passage Of the proposed
bills.
Every townin Oregon and Idaho
should appoint delegates and have
them present at the convention.
The building of railroads and the
development of our natural re-
sources will be a panacea for the
people of Oregon and Idaho and
this is the first feasible railroad
scheme which has ever been pre-
sented to the people With such

c. c. Clements: Over to the State Grange l
met Prof E. F. Hitch:ngs, State Entor .ologist
and he spoke about the canker blight, saying it
is the worst thing we have to contend with and
we must exterminate it or our orchards will be
worthless
D. M. Kimball: 81 think by my experience
that sheep are the best things there is for an
old orchard. But think that the more you cult
vate your orchard the quicker the apples will
decay. My orchard is small, but have apples
that used to keep all right until May, but now,
in February, they are all gone"
Mr.. York thought it was better not to keep
apples, but to sen them early, but Mr. Kimball
said he would like to have few to eat little
later than January.
After few more pertinent remarks by diff
ferent members the question was dropped and
the program of Northern Light presented as
follows: song, Fred Whitney; reading, Marga
ret Whitney; song, Fred Clark; song, Quartette

This shows concusively that spraying with
the wet Bordeaux mixture is the best prepara-
ton for exterminating the pests that infect the
potato plant
At the close of his address Dean Hurd told
those present that he would be glad to answer
any questions they might ask, and several
availed themselves of the opportunity to get
more light the potato question. Among
them were C. c. Clements, E. N. Bartlett, Isaac
Perkins, D. M. Kimbal C. H. Libby S. Ritchie,
H. J. Ide and others, and satisfactory and ex-
by the Professor and all were much pleased
with the information gained in this way.
Another song by the choir was enjoyed, and
the topic, Glow to Care For an Orchard was
then opened by E. C. Clement, who spoke of
the value of pruning in the spring, plowing in
the fall, narrowing in the spring; but pruning
is most necessary if good fruit is to be raised
Leonard Clark: "Cultivate it as much pos
sible and do your pruning in June when the
days are the longest. An old orchardist told
me to always prune in the longest days of the
year. But cultivation is more necessary,
think, than pruning"
R. L. Clements: 81 plow in the fall after
spreading on a light coat of dressing, plow
very shoa so not to disturb or injure the roots,
and sow it to oats in the spring and prune
heavily all the trees that blossom. I believe
spraying to be important; if everyone should
spray, all insects could be exterminated"
G. H. York: 81 believe in blowing in the
fall, but should cultivate all through the sea-
sor, and think if we should do this there would
be no off years in apple crops. By my ex
perience have found thorough cultivation the
main idea
E. N. Bartlett: Enough has been said un-
der the head of cultivation. vii lstart on new
tack. | will take the wire worm (trypeta
pomonella) the greatest menace to good fruit
against which we have to contend. Now in
the fall pick up from the ground all the rotten
apples, cores soft apples and pulp, and then
the worm would not have a chance to mature
If everybody should do this we could get rid of
the pest. believe in cultivation and pruning
but spraying would not be practicable for a
man with large orchard like mine" (The
largest in Winterport, reporter.)
S. Richie: "When have cultivated up to
the first of July have got good results but in
cultivating late did not as it injured the tree
more than it beneftted,it as it causes the sap
to flow too much and they have tendency to
winterkill"
w. S. Parker: 81 have learned that all the
way to get good apples is by pruning the trees
and cultivating the ground"
H. ]. Ide: 81 have young orchard and try
to observe and see the methods of others and
am beneftting by that experience. One
brother said today to plow in light coat of
dressing and SOW it to oats. l think this is
not right, for the oats to take too much of the
benefit and too little goes into the trees"

The Shoe Situation.

Prices for footwear are firm at the advanced
rates demanded by manufacturers owing to
high cost of leather, but purchases by visiting
buyers in aggregate continue disappointing.
This will delay fall business somewhat, although
it is believed that jobbers will eventually enter
the market at advanced rates. Shipments of
over 81 600 cases from Boston are the largest
weekly movement of the kind for over aIyear.
