INTERESTING TALKS

The Oregon Short Line Farmers

hours IN Bear Lake county last Sat
urday morning one hour in Par,a
and one hour in Montpelier. Ow
ing to the fact that the schedule
brought the train to this section III
the early hours of the morning, il
was impossible for great number
of the farmers to be present, either
at Paris or in Montpelier. How
ever, those who were able to attend
were we'll repaid for their time.
The short talks given by the differ
ent experts on the train were right
