some RELIEF
FOR SHIPPERS

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 11.-Moder-
ated weather came as relief to ship
ping interests at the head of the
lakes and freight moved more free
ly. Little perishable freight has been
sent forward for several days and
owing to the extreme cold and the
inability of switching crews to give
the desired service, the coal ship
ments have shown great falling Off.
For the first time in several days
switch engines which have been
frozen up and unable to work more
than two or three hours day, were
in service all morning. AS result,
the coal shipments have increased
materially and other commodities
which require switching service are
getting better dispatch.
In extreme cold weather, railroads
refuse shipments of perishable CON-
modities except in heated cars which
are hard to get. Wholesale grocery
houses necessarily have held back
shipments of this kind, much to the
inconvenience Of some outside trade
Canned goods, cheese, etc., cannot be
sent until the weather mOderates, un-
less at the owners risk.
Shipments Of beer and other bever-
ages were held back last week on
account of the extreme cold and Du-
luth brewery sales suffered a serious
setback. One concern shipped con-
sigament to one of the range towns
by express, but even then when it
reached it's destination it was froz'
en- and unstable.
December coal shipments from Du-
,uth and Superior totaled 23,848 cars
as compared with 40 $50 for the
month of November. Grain shipments
were cut in two, the movement in De-
cember being 4,397 as compared with
9.S0S in November. The total number
of cars moved during December 1911,
was 36,539, according to the figures
made available by the monthly report
Of James Kelly, manager Of the Lake
Superior Demurage bureau. The De-
cember movement shows an increase
of 1,729 cars over the corresponding
month of the previous year, but big
falling off as compared with Novem-
ber 1911. when the total number OF
cars moved was 60,S43.
Despite the general dullness in bust
ness circles. the total freight move
ment for the year showed "a gain of
1878 cars. The gain though small,
is encouraging. The record Of the To-
cal demurrage bureau since it was
organized in 1891 is as follows:

institute Was
SUCCESSFUL

EDINBURG, Jar 1.-THE Farm
ers Institute on Thursday was a
success in spite of the storm that
ragged all day and the thermometer
at 80 below zero. The weather
wasn't fit for an Eskimo dog to be
out in, but the farmers were daunt-
less, and the attendance was good,
especially at the afternoon session.
The morning session was conduc-
ted by Prof. w. c.. Palmer, and was
a comprehensive discussion OF several
topics such as blowing. corn. insects,
plant diseases, drifting. etc. Many
of those present took an active part
in the discussion which was very in
resting throughout.
The afternoon session was particl-
pate,l in by Two more speakers, Fred
W. Merrill federal dairyman, and T..
Christensen. of the demOnstratiye
staff of the Agricultural College,
The session began with a talk by
Prof. Palmer on the movement Of
Water through Soil" He demon
strated that moisture moves through
compact soil. indicating that the seed
Led should be as compact as possible
below and loose above. In keeping
the surface loose, drifting sometimes
resulted but this could be prevented
by keeping the soil we'll supplied with
organic matter. Prof. Palmer was
given close attention as before.
Mr.. Merrill then gave an interest
ing talk On Silos. He is an expert
dairyman, and is better equipped
along that line than any one else in
.::e state. He enumerated the advan-
tages of feeding corn through the silo.
1t was the cheapest and at the same
time the best feed for cows, the
speaker said, and from an economical
point of view. the only feed. He des.
cribed in detail the construction of a
silo, both of lumber and cement. He
advocated the use of cement in tha
building of silos. It was the most
economical and durable. 1t should be
built on we'll drained land with foun.
dalton built on the surface where the
land does not heave. If the land
heaves, the foundation should be built
below frost line. The building of the
forms was described, the material
used and proportion to be used in
mixing cement were described, how
to reinforce the cement, how to coat
it on the inside and outside, how to
fill it and how to pack the ensilage,
every detail was given the minutest
attention. Mr.. Merrill informed the

RUSH CANADIAN wheat
To AMERICAN MARKETS

DULUTH, Jan. 1.-THE Canadian
Northern has followed the example
of the Canadian Pacific in making a
rate of 10 cents a bushel on wheat
shipped from Regina to Duluth. This
has been in order to take advantage
of American storage facilities, those
in Canada being practically filled.
Millions of bushels of Canadian wheat
will be kept in bond in the ware
houses at Duluth and Superior during
the winter.
The elevators at Port Arthur are
now full. Hundreds Of cars are side
tracked in the railroad yards at that
place waiting to be relieved of their
grain. This will be impossible until
the elevators can shoot some of their
supplies into the freight boats now
wintering at Port Arthur. Even with
this relief, it is said that Port Arthur
cannot store any more grain after
Jan. 20. The elevators will hold
about % 100000 bushels and the YES
sells about 2S,0O0,O00 bushels.
In Saskatchewan the need of more
r3om for the wheat that is constant
ly coming in from the country is i'm
perative. A large syndicate farm near
Regina has about $4,000 bushels Of
wheat stacked under tarpaulin. The
owners have not yet been able to-
move this grain. Farmers coming
into town have frequently been forced
to wait several days before they could
be given space for the storage of their
grain. Many farmers, living near the
American boundary, have been driv-
ing across, paying the duty and mar
keting their grain, losing money rath-
err than wait in the Canadian towns
for the congested situation to be re-
lieved.
Wheat has been directly consigned
of late to the market at Minneapolis
by Canadian shippers, because the
home market has been unable to
handle it. This was never known to
happen before.
The high price of barley in this
country and the scarcity of room for
the storage of grain in Canada has
been causing heavy movement Of
Canadian barley into the United
States, Notwithstanding the high duty.
Last Saturday a deal was made at
Minneapolis whereby a car of bar.
ley changed hands at 81 80 per bushel.
During the last ten days Minneapolis
has received nearly 100000 bushels
of Canadian barley.

THIS MAN DOES NOT LOVE HIM.

Freewater, Ore, April II.
Editor East Oregonian:
Mr. F. K.Noordhoff brands as ut
terly without foundation the state
ment in behalf of Welles as to his
reasons for Withdrawing. He is
strongly opposed to Welles. His rea-
son for withdrawal is entirely con-
nected with private business. Teach
ers in this section are indignant at
receiving letters from Welles asking
them to get busy among their friends
and get them to vote for him.
Though courteous it means Get busy
or lose your job" I am hitting him
hard on his turning his office into a
political machine.
See County Judge Maloney about
Welles asking to have county monies
put to his private account so as to
have no criticism about the expense
of his office.
The judge or clerk or assessor can
also tell you how he tried to cut down
his assessable property by not dis
closing that he held about $500 or
$1100 in scrip and balance in bank
or mortgage.
Yours truly,

umns OF your paper what I have to
say for Frank X. Kelles. as l believe
the J. L. Smith Livestock Company is
one of the heaviest taxpaying COM
panies in the county and as l am the
secretary of that company 1 am goins
to do what | can to defeat Mr. Welles
at the coming primary election.
Just about one year ago some
homesteaders came TO us. and asked
if we would help them to build a
small school house in their vicinity
and We told them that we would do
nate them $50 and one acre of land
That seemed to satisfy them, but
Mr.. Welles appeared on the ground
and said. No, make the taxpayers put
up a school house, which they did
Not only one but two in the same dis
trict, and which will cost the taxpay-
ers about $25O0, either of them far
better than any homesteader's house
in the district.
Now, there was one house near
the center of the district on the river
and is about one mile from the new
one in the north end and about 12
miles from The one in the south end.
Now. 1 suppose, if a few families
should come to live on the river there
would have to be school opened in
the old one, which of course, would
mean more money.
Now, this district No. 13 is four
miles wide east and west by six miles
long north and south and three school
houses, with about "a children draw
ing public money. divided up as fol-
lows: Thirteen for the house in the
south, nine for the house in the north
one or two for the house on the river
Now, this does not look fair and
just as the O.-W. r. & n. company
and the j. f. Smith Livestock COM
pany will be the heaviest parties tax
ed to pay for these houses.
In this district there is about 16, 900
acres of land, divided up as follows;
]. + Smith Livestock company, $500
acres; other patented lands, 3400
acres, Northern Pacific lands, 1900
acres, homesteads and vacant lands,
5000 acres. Also the O.-W. r. & n
Company has over four miles of road
in this district.
l am not in the habit of writing
for the public, but l do hope the tax
payers of Umatilla county can see
this as l do and cast their ballots next
Friday for Mr. Young.
Yours truly.

depreciation of the law these funds
cannot be made available for irrigat-
ing projects for the reclamation of
the arid and semi-arid lands of the
Grande Ronde Valley, the Powder
River valley or the Malheur valley
where the, greater portion of the
lands have for years been held in pri-

productive and capable of support
ing an immense population by reser-
voiring and conserving the waters OF

applying the same to the irrigation OF
these lands. The projects necessary
to accomplish this require too much
ready capital for private parties to
enter the field and do this work, and
as result these projects remain un-
| developed and the lands unreclaimed
and unproductive, although there are
millions of dollars in the reclamation
fund to which this state Is entitled
lying idle in the treasury of the Unit

amended so as to make these funds
available for the construction of pro-
jects for the irrigation of private
lands under proper restrictions and
regulations insuring safe return OF
the money to the government and
the ultimate ownership of the pro-
jects by the farmers. There is nc
reason why such law should not be
