Railroad Experts
Held Fine Meetings

Professors Shaw and Merrill,
experts on agriculture and stock
raising, working under the aus
pices of the agricultural extern
sion department of the Northern
Pacific, held two enthusiastic
meetings here Monday. The
first was held in the forenoon at
the August Schroeder farm east
of town and the second at the B.
Luchtefeld place near Reuter-
vile in the afternoon. About
twenty farmers were present at
each meeting, which is good evil
dence of the keen interest farm
ers are taking in these lectures,
for they are just beginning to
harvest one of the largest crops
ever grown on Camas prairie
and but a very small attendance
was looked for.
Prof. Merrill talked in a most
convincing manner about the
merits of the silo as a necessary
adjunct of the farm for the pro-
duction of milk, beef and NUT
ton. Both gentlemen were most
emphatic in their statements
that corn would grow in this
country and that corn was the
ideal silage crop as we'll as ar
ideal crop for maturing hogs.
Prof. Shaw advised the farm
, ers to plant what is known as
the Squaw corn, which he sale
, would grow and mature in about
70 to 80 days and would probably
yield about thirty bushels PEE
, acre. The profitable way tt

Merchants more frequently
give farmers valuable pointers
about farming than farmers give
merchants about merchandising.
This from the Ellensburg Capital
for instance: Farmer Risler, the
druggist rancher of Kittitas val
ley, was seen a few days ago
putting up his hay crop by the
aid of his Ford runabout. He
handled the steering wheel and
had a man to trip the rake, with
the result that he covered twice
the ground that his nearest
neighbor got over in the same
time. He says harvesting with
an auto is just as easy as shoot
ing fish.

Eshortly before noon and were
soon seated at the luncheon in

mess men of the city. After
kpartaking of the repast prepared
i for the occasion, President Rob-
4 ertson, of the commercial club,

stalk. He was followed by local
4 speakers, after which Governor
n Alexander was called on and
n made the principal address of
Il the day, holding the close atten-
ton of his audience for almost
an hour.
The governor went into details
about securing the building of
4 the proposed north-south railway
n and said that if the road is built
II it will not cost the taxpayers OF
y the state a single penny. He ex-
planned how the state legislature
passed bill creating the COM
mission and then killed the meas
ure which sought to provide
fund of $500 to defray the ex-
pense of the work of the COM
mission. In spite of this handi-
cap the commission has gone
ahead and investigated the pro-
posed route, paying all expenses
of the trip out of their owr
pockets. After the report of the
commission is filed with the gov
ernor he stated it was his inten
ton to go to New York, SOM
time late this month, and there
seek to interest capital in build
ing the proposed road. If h
proves successful in this under
taking, and he apparently ha
strong faith in his ability to d
so, all plans will be made for tn
completion of the road and tn
state will not be called on in an
muner to provide funds to as
sist the project.
Governor Alexander stated h
had made good" on all of hi
promises made to the people dul
ing the campaign; that he ha
MT promised them a north-sout
railroad but would do his best
throw that in for good measure
He stated that it would be nece
sary for the state to construct
good highway down the Saline
river whether the railroad
built or not, and especially 80
the road is to be built, in ord
to haul over it the supplies nee
ed in constructing the railroa
and he hopes to utilize convi
labor to a large extent in tt
highway work when it is col
menced.

that there was only one route

might be feasible this side of
latter place. Each town or co

stranded on the sacks. Time after
time possible winning or tieing run

The Red Sox have shown all class
