Strawberries Grow all
Summer in Morrow Co.

What is the matter with Nor
row County? Nothing at all bro
ther. Look at those large lus
cious Ever Bearing strawberries
on display in the Haylor jewellery
store window The berries grew
in the garden of w. o. Minor on
Court street. Mr.. Minor says
there has not been day this. sum-
mer that he has not had straw
berries. He is going to fix up
mice strawberry exhibit at the Nor
row County Fair.
At the present time the Minor
family is enjoying fresh raspberries
Rainier variety. A number of
Morrow County people are devot-
ing space in their gardens to the
strawberry of the Ever-Bearing
variety. Harvie Young, Eight
Mile farmer, set out a number of
these plants last spring and he
reports they are doing we'll.

NEW PHASE PRESENTED
IN STRIKE SITUATION

Governor Withycombe sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Wilson
on the railroad strike situation, in
which he takes an entirely new posi-
tion that the service of the railroads
belongs to the people.
while the railroads are the pro-
perty of the stockholders, transpora-
tation service is the property of the
public. Land grants and franchises
were given with that understanding.
The American people are committed
to and believe in the principle arbi-
tration and the public welfare de-
mands that this principle be preser-
we'd. Where differences between the
railroad employees and the managers
involve so serious an issue as trans
portation service to the public, and
cannot be mutually adjusted, the
public will, and does insist on both
sides submitting to arbitration"
This is phase of the question
not generally considered. The pub
lie, in the event of strike, would be
the sufferer. The sawmills and the
mines, the farm products and the
fruit industry, the milk trains and
dairy supplies for the millions in the
would be cut off, and millions would
suffer and children would die by the
thousands if the strike should be pro-
longed.
If the public could have any in
fluence, more than what the weight of
its opinion will be upon those involv-
ed, the strike question would be set
tied by arbitration and in a manner
that would be at least millions of dol
lars cheaper to the masses.

LAND BANK BOARD IN
SPOKANE SEPT. 4TH

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 30-On Sep
tember 4 the Federal Farm Loan
board will hold hearings in Spokane,
to determine upon the creation of
farm loan district to serve the north
west and to decide at which point
one of the II farm loan banks shall
be located to serve this territory. The
board will hold its meetings in the
Federal building beginning at 10 o.
clock in the morning.
AS this is the only hearing the
board will hold in the Inland Umpire
or in the states of Washington and
Idaho it will be of exceptional i'm
portance to the farmers of the north
west The board will undoubtedly
be more interested in hearing from
the farmers than from anyone else as
the rural credit law creating these
banks are passed for the benefit of
the farmers and the banks are really
the farmers banks. Farmers from
all points in Washington, Idaho and
Montana and Oregon will gather in
Spokane on September to present
their case personally to the board.
One of the most vital points to be
considered by the board is the for
nation OF the district. Undoubtedly
strong pressure will be brought to
bear to attach the northwest with
California and locate a bank in Cali
fornia or to attach the northwest to
the Dakotas and Minnesota and To-
cate bank in one of these states.
Whether homogeneous district
comprising the northwest is formed
and whether the bank is located at
some central point that will adequate
ly serve the farmers of the five north
western states will depend very large
ly upon the interest taken by the
farmers in presenting their own case
to the board
The members of the farm loan
board comprise men who are the
leaders in finance and especially in
farm finance. They are: William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury:
George W. Norris, farm loan COM
missioner; Herbert Quick, Capt. w.
S. A, Smith and Charles E. Lobdell.
1t happens that September 4, the
date the Farm Loan board will hold
its Spokane hearing, is also the open
ing day for the Spokane Interstate
fair. There will be full program of
racing and other big events, so that
the farmers attending the hearings of
the board will be able also to attend
the fair while in the city. Secretary
McAdoo and his entire board will at
tend the fair in body.

Columbia Highway Sub
ject to Much Travel

W. G. Scott of Lexington is
some statistican. Mr.. Scott came
up over the Columbia Highway re-
icently on his return home after
several weeks spent at Crater
Lake. Just out of curiosity more
than anything else, Mr.. Scott
counted all the automobiles park
ed on the left side of the highway.
Between the filling station in Port
land and Hood River he counted
1l26 cars. He estimates that this
was about half of the total number
OF cars on the road between the
two points that day.
One noticeable feature of the
many cars one sees on this great
highway is the large number of
Oregon and Washington cars. This
tends to prove that more of the
natives are seeing their own states.
Mr.. Scott says the Columbia
Highway is revelation in the
science of road building. "It's
wonderful, wonderful" is the way
in which he expressed his appre-
iciation of Americas greatest seem
ic highway.

ROAD S1RAW|NG
DAY BEING URGED
Heppner Commercial Club Will Coo
poiate With County Court and
Farmers to Improve Highways
For Wheat Hauling.

The main topic taken up for dis
cussi0n at the regular meeting of the
Heppner Commercial Club last Mon
day evening was that of strawing the
roads Of The county and putting them
in condition for wheat hauling.
President Phelps instructed the
Roads Committee, consisting of DR..
n. E. Winnard, VIM Haylor and AL
bert Bowker, to meet with the mem
bers of the county court and the far
mers in various sections of the coun-
ty. The club favors special road
strawing day, when a special concen-
trated effort should be put forth to
straw all the main highways.
The committee met with the court
on Tuesday and that body was favor
ably impressed with the idea. How
ever they were of the opinion that
the farmers are too busy with harvest
just now to put any work on the
roads. The court will take up the
strawing proposition at once with the
various road supervisors and the
work will be done at the expense of
the county.
The roads are cutting up more this
year than they have In the past.
This condition is attributed in a
large part to the heavy increase of
automobile tourist travel The pro-
per application of straw would elimi-
nate the chuck holes and put the
roads in shape for wheat hauling,
which has already started in some
parts of the county.
A letter from the Portland Cham
ber Of Commerce was read by Secre-
tary Smead regarding the subscrip-
ton of stock in the new farm loan
bank. The secretary was instructed
to write for more information. Port
land is making strong bid to get
the land bank situated in that city
SO far as the farming territory of
the Northwest is concerned, Portland
is considered an ideal location for one
of these institutions.
The club recently sent a telegram
to President Wilson asking him to
settle the present railroad contro-
versy by arbitration. This is the same
action as taken by many of the COM
mercial bodies all over the country
and reflects the desire of the public
at large.
Congressman N. ]. Sinnott who has
made strenuous campaign to get
the Monument mail route re-establish-
ed, sent letter of appreciation to the
club in reply to letter of thanks
which the club recently sent him in
behalf of the work he had done in
this matter. Advertisements for bids
for carrying the mail on this route
will be posted in the near future in
the postoffices at Hardman, Parkers
Mill and Monument.
Steps were also taken by the club
to urge the city council to put the
streets and crossings in the best pos
sible condition before the county fair,
which takes place September IA, Is,
and 16.

HAS ENDORSED WICK

VALDEZ, July 18.-The only dis
pute in the Republican divisional CON
vention here was over the resolution
endorsing Wickersham as candidate
for congress as a Republican. This
resolution carried over the objections
of Ritchie, Lyons, Einnegan Harvey
P. Sullivan and White. The Tern
torial Divisional committee afterwards
rcpudiated the action of the conven-
ton and declared it null and void and
not binding on any Republican. The
real issue seemed to be the division
which came during the territorial con
vention at Seward, the men who then
opposed the majority now taking the
side of Wickersham and the men who
were with the majority at Seward op-
posing him.
