RICHARDT0N GRAIN
ELEVATOR BURNED
With HEAVY LOSS

Fire, thought to have been started
by sparks from a passing Northern
Pacific engine, destroyed the Occi-
dent elevator at Richardton early
Wednesday morning, the strong wind
prevailing at the time making I'M
availing the efforts of the fire fighters
to quell the blaze. The fire had
gained considerable headway before it
was discovered. A volunteer brigade
of firemen was soon on the scene,
and a message was rushed to Dickin-
son, asking that the N. P. fire car
be hurried to Richardton. The local
car was ,hurriedly made ready for the
trip, but second message brought in
formation that there was no hope of
checking the flames, so the run was
not made.
Damage to the building is estimat-
ed at approximately $4,000. More
than 800 bushels of wheat were in the
building and about 100 bushels of flax.
A portion of the walls is still stand
ing, but entire rebuilding Of the struc-
ture will be necessary. The elevator
was located on the north side of the
main line tracks of the N. P.

Charge; Solicited
for Liquor Firm?

Case against Joseph Bleth of Rich
ardton, charged with receipting for
and receiving liquor not consigned to
him, was dismissed by Justice A. P.
Folsom in justice court Monday even
ing. Another complaint was immedi-
ately filed against Bleth by States
Attorney H. A. Burgeson, charge be-
ing soliciting orders for liquors in
anti-saloon territory. Hearing of the
latter charge was set for the even
ing of Friday, May 25, in the court
Of Justice Folsom. J. P. Cain repre-
sented the defendant.
A number of witnesses from Rich

new suit instituted, another action
in which Bleth is defendant is pend
ing, plaintiff in the case being the
Schoenhofen Brewing Company.
Charge is that Bleth is indebted to
the concern in the sum of $406.10, al

| Editor East Oregonian:
During this nationwide campaign
for a greater food production the
humble bean should not and is not
being forgotten and oregon is com
ing to the front with her quota of
beans as well as men; in. the VIII
lamette valley. particularly around
Salem. Corvallis and Eugene, several
thousand acres are being planted at
the present time, to the Lady Wash
| ington variety and more is needed.
Several months ago when it be-
came apparent that the L. 5. was be-
| ing drawn into the vortex of the
worlds war and would be called on
to feed the allied nations. the ore
gun Fruit Co of Portland began
campaign for more beans. realizing
that they contained more concentrat-
ed food value per pound than any
other farm product and owing to
their dry imperishable nature, could
he transported to the uttermost bat
tie front without shrinkage or other
loss of value.
Developments were rapid and at the
present time the company has con-
tracted to market an immense acre
age for the valley farmers. at a min
imum cost and has agreed to build
and operate a cleaning. grading and
polishing plant at Salem and possibly
one at Eugene. so the oregon bean
can meet all corners. for quality.
Realizing that the growers in out
| lying districts. would be handicapped
by the local freight charges. the gem

rate on carloads and a commodity
rate on smaller shipments. The
Southern Pacific r.. X. Co, seeing
the potential value of the movement,
has assured Mr. Dalton that the
rates he has asked for will be forth
coming in time for this years crop
Furthermore he has been assured of
carload rates to the eastern and
southern markets that will be no bar
rier to successful competition with
the California bean crop.
The Extension service of the o. A.
c. of Corvallis has issued a pamph
let on growing and caring for field
beans that is free for the asking.
At one shipping in the william
cite valley there is enough acreage
planted to Lady Washingtons to as
sure 10 carloads of 10000 pounds
each and If present prices prevail this
means a distribution of between fifty
and sixty thousand dollars.
| Umatilla county has enough idle
summer fallow land adapted to bean
/ culture. to produce a great deal more
than 10 cars OF beans. which will do
more towards feeding humanity than
all the kitchen gardens in the state.
why not use them. particularly so.
when it is known that beans take
no substance from the soil that is re-
quired by the following wheat crop.

known fact that they add nitrogen
to the soil that is so essential to
