The Situation In Kirby BY An Old
time Insider.


After reading the Poem" in your
last weeks issue. contributed by
some attempted successor to Long
fellow, and noting tho E.--y ~
statements therein and the unfair
ness of the article, 1 thought that
some reply was needed, not for North
Kirby citizens for they care but little
about it, but that the general public
might know the truth. As to
the statement of the North having
trampled down the South, it is abso-
lutely false-I have served many
years as selectman and with many
South Kirby men, including the late
Judge Church, who was one Of the
ablest and best men in Kirby and L
never saw any indications of South
Kirby being run over. South Kirby
has had it's full quota of town officers,
more selectmen have been from the
North although the South now has
and has had for some years two of
the three. Of listers the South has
had "a out of 60 of the last elections.
Of road commissioner, North Kirby
has had two years only, r. r. Leach
in 1911 and 1912. Capt. Ford held
the position seven years and of the
remaining 13 years South has had
it all w. P. Willis very ably and
satisfactorily served both North and
South for seven years and the other
six including the present has been
filled by VIM. Warren. Now the
statement that the North ''hates"
Warren is an uncalled for falsehood.
l have heard many North Kirby men
say that he was a good worker and
honest in his accounting, that he was
a good fellow and they liked him,
but that does not debar them from
liking others and from voting for
! them. We don't "hate" everybody
that we don't support for road COM
missioner
regard all attempts to foster sec
tional animosity, either in town,
state or nation, as among the cheap
! est and lowest types of citizenship.
l do not believe that the majority of
the people of South Kirby will APP
! prove of the spirit of that most
beautiful "poem" and 1 am sure that
the honest and sensible ones there
and elsewhere will not.
So let us lay aside any feeling of
resentment that came to us on the
reading of that article, call it that
envy and selfishness had clouded the
/ character and brains of the ones who
/ originated it, forgive them for their
/ foolish slop-over and work together
North and South for the harmony
and best good of the whole in the
old way.

NOTE-In justice to the regular
correspondent of Kirby we will say
she had nothing to do with nor knew
anything about the article published
last week. We were requested to
publish it to make a little fun" and
do not believe it was intended to be
as serious as it has been taken. This
paper has no desire to fan any Sec
tional feeling between the two sec

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE

Hermlston to Plant Grapes.-Sat-
urday evening iast there was a meet
ing in the office OF Il. p. Dodd, re-
garding the setting out of large
acreage of grapes, says the Hermis'
ton Herald. The various points were
discussed, and all agreed that It would
be paying proposition. While 1t
was the general sentiment that Con-
cords and Wordens should be planted
almost exclusively, most of those pres
ent thought 1t would be good idea
to set out some other varieties.
For grape juice the Worden brings
higher price than the Concord.
Naturally, that variety was favored.
Not only on account OF price, but al
so because the Worden appears to
yield greater here than the Concord
There was some question, however,
regarding the stability of demand for
the Worden as compared with the
Concord. II. w. Allen, of the expert
ment station. was requested to make
further inquiries along this line, to
WnlCn ne agreed,
No definite action was taken, but
as soon as further information can be
secured another meeting will be held.
At that time II is believed everything
can be finished up. including the sign
ing up of acreage to be planted by
each individual and the ordering OF
the plants. II possible II Is desired
to get the vines in time to set out this
winter.
