The Sentinel says it is hart ly
in favor of "a greater Baca coua-

practically unanimous, and also
in favor of the Herald's sugges-

And ALI the Time

That was the editorial that
woke up the people of the coun-
ty, and set them both to thinking
and to, talking.
In Springfield particularly that
editorial had its desired effect,
and it was mutually agreed that
the organization of the Spring
field Commercial Club, suggested
in that editorial, would be acted
upon Immediately after election,
which was accordingly done.
The same week of our tditoris
the Sentinel had half a column
of correspondence with the Beat
rice Creamery Co.; but it's first
real editorial on the subject was
not till Dec. 3rd-nearly three
months after our broadside of
Sept. 18th.
We are awfully glad that the
Sentinel has joined us in this
move. AS in the case of the
county fair, the Herald needs 81
the help it can get, even now with
the sentiment of the county al
most unanimous in favor of the
new industry.
So we'll not stop to bubble a
bout who has first place and first
honors, but instead will join hands
for a grand pull and pull alto
gether-for the COW, the hen,
and the hog.

7below at Two Buttes, 10 be-
at Campo--that would make it
81 below at Springfield. Any
way, it was cold enough
Monday morning for general pur-
poses.
Our tv-the-north contemporary
says, "the Herald hammered 81
necessarily on the county-fair
business last summer that a
splended fair was held at the
county seat; SO let US work togeth
err for dairyirg and poultry and
hogs" In other words, we'll
join hands for a long pull, a hard
pull and a pull all together for "a
greater Baca county,"

left it.
We intended this issue to be
a country talk by our correspond
ents, but they nearly all got here

head of time. We shalt ask our

A Great Big Factor


Few of either old or new set
tiers have the necessary or prop
er machinery to secceed in
bringing out of the soil the re-
turns that can be secured by
proper methods.
. The past season, as vas the
case all over the county, saw big
crops. This without much till
ing or attention to the soil.
What we must study and keep
our attention on is how to hold
our best spring moisture so as to
withstand the draught
that generally strikes when the
crops begin to head. This soil
is very rich and aosorbs an un-
usual amount of moisture. To
keep the latter is the problem.
The older settlers say that the
crops harvested the past sea-
son were the biggest in the his
tory OF the country. Maize,

were extensively planted.
Maize appears to be the stand
by for ~ ain.
This was the first ear feteri-
ty was tried, and sure made a
bod showing ana without ques-
zion is the coming fodder.
Broomcorn did remarkably
we'll. Many fields ran as good
as ton of brush to three acres
of broolncorn.
Kair corn did we'll where
tried, as also did field corn.
Some spring wheat, speltz, bar
ley and winter wheat were raised
and harvested. All did well,
springwheat makes better than
the other varieties as a rule.
Some oats has he n tried with
good results.
Those who did anything in the
gardening line were amply re-
paid the past year, and no doubt
many more will attempt a gar.
den next season.
This has been a grazing land
during the dead past; but now,
with the feed stacked up, would
be the year to attempt the dairy.
ing proposition. Nothing could
be more favorable to tnat line,
and if once begun, success could
not be prevented.
The writer was raised in d
country where conditions were
similar 10 what one meets
here anu the cheese factory and
creamery started it to prosperity
Poultry as a side issue pays
we'll, as also do a few hogs.
One draw back to the develop
ment of this country is the lack
funds and the facilities of OBJ
rainin sufficient to start right by
the new settlers.
If dairying is attempted and
success assured, a more easy
plan of loans should be inaugu-
rated with a reasinable inter-
est rate.
Where our eastern men Can
get money at six percent, we
have to dig up ten and twelve.
A few of US can get the cows,
but others, and those vast ma
jority, cannot.
Great praise should by given
to the Herald for being the pio-
neer in this new industry by all
those who are expecting to make
this their future home.

We are going to need a cream
cry in Springfield in The early
future. Irdeed it was for this
one great need for Springfield
and Baca county that the COM
mercial club was organized, the
purpose of the club being par

cry md motor truck lire be-
tween Springfield ard Lamar.

thing in tue spring, in case the
milk business at that time can
be made to Justify, and with the

GILuLAND FAILED TO
ANSWER MANY QUERIES
EBERHART WAS TOO BUSY TO
COME TO DEFEND FORMER
FRIEND.

THE same old story in the same
old way was T. p. Gilliland's offer
Ing last evening to a large audience
gathered at the oregon theater. From
his opening statement TO the effect
that he came before the people "the
best advertised candidate on either
ticket TO his closing good night"
his address last evening was practi-
cally identical with the one he gave
Friday evening at the court house
and has been giving at every town in
the county. Those who attended ex-
pecting TO hear him answer some
very pertinent questions which have
been asked him and which in the past
he has carefully avoided went away
disappointed.
Seated on the platform were Horace
Walker and II. B. Lee. the other
members OF the old court and to them
he turned at intervals for corroboration
OF his remarks. Mr. Lee, however.
stepped forward at one time to deny
one statement that the ex-judge has
made In his every speech. It was to
the effect that Mr.. Lee had called at
the East oregonian two years ago. ex-
planned why his signature did not ap-
pear to the Umatllla bridge orders,
had asked the editor 10 publish his
explanation and had met with a re-
fusal. Mr.. Lee last evening declared
Mr.. Gilliland TO be mistaken, saying
that he had never asked the East
Oregonian 10 publish statement from
him but had made an explanation Of
the matter to the Milton Eagle.
Mr.. Gnliland again produced a
copy OF the East Oregonian and read
the first list OF questions printed. stat
ing that he would answer all ques-
tions asked him. There were at least
ten questions which had been asked
him directly 10 which he attempted
no answer and they were entirely DIFF
ferent from the list he read Not a
single one Of the questions referred
to in the copy OF the East oregonian
last evening was explained
Mr.. Gilliland again made the asser-
tion that the East oregonian had
printed only half OF the law relative
to the building OF bridges despite the
fact that the files OF the paper show
that every word OF the law. Just as he
read II last evening, had appeared In
type several times.
To refute the affidavit OF A. p.
Cooley. the speaker read one from A. I
E. Eberhart denying he had ever had
any such conversation with Cooley
ani to the best OF his knowledge did
not know Cooley. Mr.. Gilliland had
promised to produce Mr.. Eberhart in
person but called upon Mr. Newell
the man who superintended the build
ing Of the Matlock street bridge, to-
explain that the company would not
permit Mr.. Eberhart TO come to Pen
dleton because he was needed else
where.
