Pastor irwin Remembers
His Friends by Letter


aid very kindly allowed us the
privilege of communicating with
our Harney county friends thru
its columns. Once again the
same courtesy has been extended
us. No other way seems to be
open to us whereby we can keep
in touch with our old friends.
Individual correspondence with
each is out of the question.
While an open letter is not all
that is to be desired, yet we
trust it will accomplish the end
sought; the telling our friends
that they have not been forgot

pleasant review before us. Here
and there the line is broken in
fact but not in memory. Two
years have not dimed the vision.
Through The Times-Herald and
by personal correspondence we
have kept in touch with passing
events in Harvey county, and
have rejoiced with you in the on
ward movements of these events.
We have watched each step of
progress and development with
more than passing interest, and
feel that we have shared in some
measure the blessings that have
come to you. Perhaps it is dis
lance that lends enchantment to
the view" but if we read the
signs of times Alright the Harvey
country is soon to realize its
long delayed hopes, and enter in
to the glad fruition of a better
day. Our sympathies and our
interests shall keep pace with
your struggles and your victories.

LAs.s4NEYElNFNENf tEGCrE NOTES
(From Our Portland Correspondent

Inc second annual OTeRoh IL
figation Congress will be held in
Portland january Oil and the
program is now being arraged.
It will be the most important
gathering of irrigationists ever
held In this state. Every irriga-
ton district in Oregon is expect
ed to be represented and men,
bers of the government reclama-
ton service. as;well as the entire
membership of the next legisla-
ture, will be invited. There viii
be a thorough consideration of
the needs of the irrigated farmer,
both on the government and state
pIojects, and everything possible
will be done to aid in the develop
ment of the irrigated sections of
the state. William Hanley, of
Burns, is president of the con-
gress, and J. T. hinkle, of Her
miston. is the secretary. The
Oregon Development League is
busy on preliminary plans for the
congress.
Oregon dairymen and cheese
and butter makers of the state
are in session this week atAlbany.
A four days convention was open
ed Tuesday. The program of ad-
dresses and discussions is of a
high standard and from the an
nual gathering much benefit to
the industry will result,
Eastern Oregon can be counted
on to do its share in the states
agricultural production. Now
that the crops are gathered, in
stances of big yields are being
reported. Elba Rogers, farmer
of the Freewater district, receiv-
ed over $1100 for tomatoes raised
on three-quarters of an acre. His
crop was marketed through the
Fruit Growers Union. which was
pyobably responsible for a good
price; Curtis and Rolph, of On
tario, dug 1000 bushels of splen-
did potatoes from two and one
half acres. From one hill 66 po-
tatoes were taken. More than
seven carloads of pure alfalfa
honey was shipped out of Vale
this year.
Closer cooperation between.
the fruit grower, the railroads
and all allied interests was urged
at a meeting of growers and deal
ers at luncheon at the Portland
Commercial Club. 1t was stated
by a prominent Eastern dealer
that a study of market conditions
and a better organization will
prevent an over supply of North
west apples and the hope of the
industry was said to be a closer
harmony in growing and market
ing the fruit.
Better steamer service on the
upper Columbia and the Snake !
Rivers was the subject recently |
taken up by a conference of COM
mercial club representatives at
Kennewick. Plans were made |
for the operation of boats during
the coming year and resolutions
adopted that the organizations
represented should assist in every
way the steamboat companies
operating on these streams.

Hay Farming.

Hay farming is not poor industry
if one knows how to raise it and then
how to market ii to the best advan-
tage. So many have gone into other
kinds of farming, and 20 many diaries
now using up all the hay raised in
their neighborhood, that the competi-
ton is far less in the city markets
than formerly, says the Farm and
F'ireside. The idea that hay raising
is exhausting the soil and quality
runs down farm t. an exploded fall
acy. Nothing robs the soil SO quickly
as continual cropping Of timothy hay
but when the land il sown to clover
every alternate or third season, with
the second crop under, the soil is not
robbed, but actually benefited TAX
ing a second crop OF clover from the
same field in one season generally
runs down the soil, especially if re
peated more than one season.

The baptism question, which was
one of the big problems Of the Ma
tional Conference OF the Church OF
the. Brethren, failed to pass when
placed before the conference at York
last week
There was a strong majority in its
favor, but it lacked the necessary
two-thirds vote to make il effective.
The vote stood 246 for the change
and 1876 against, some of the dele
gates not voting. As the matter now
stands no member can BE- received
into the church without having been
baptized by a member of the Church
or the Brethren.
The place for the next meeting Of
the Winona Lake, Indi-
ana, selected by the standing COM
mittee-was approved by the confer
ence in open session. There we're
four calls for the CONFERENCE.-THE
from Narthern California, one from
Northern Illinois and Wisconsin, and
one from Tennessee, South Ohio onl
Washington.
A motion to change the date Of the
annual meeting from Tuesday after
Pentecost to the second Tuesday Of
June was defeated.
The conference decided to petition
the national Congress to authorize the
reading of the Bible in all schools.
Tt was declared In the report Of the
standing committee that the welfare
OF the nation depends upon the prin-
ciples of religion and morality, which
can only be found in the Bible.
For the first time in the history OF
the church women took part in the
discussion or the tobacco question.
Mrs. Martha Lear, OF Decatur, ILL.,;
Mrs. Kate Buckingham,M Mrs. Ella Web
gter, Hanover, and others spoke against
the use Of tobacco by ministers. The
resolution to prohibit ministers and
deacons using tobacco was carried by
a vote Of 253 to 148.
