FARMERS MEET TO
DISCUSS ELEVATORS

Some IS farmers from different
localities were present at the bulk
grain meeting in this city Saturday.
and not few ideas of much value
were advanced by the several speak
c 5 to show that elevators are both
e :onomical and convenient.
The meeing was addressed by
r. o. Earnhart and Mr.. Howell of
Pendleton; Mr.. Wetzell of the Bur-
rell Construction Co., Portland; Mr..
Crawford Of the Whitehouse-Craw
fo d Lumber Co.. Walla Walla:
will Steen of Dry creek and others.
Sim j. Culley, president of the
Weston Warehouse Co., presided.
A standing vote was taken on the
proposition of building elevators to
handle the grain Of this district
and was carried almost unanimous
ly. On motion the chair appointed a
committee of five, consisting Of the
d rectors of the Weston Warehouse
Co., to secure plans and estimates.
That elevators will be built at
both Weston and Downing stations
is re arded as almost certain. 1t
was shown that the cost of construc-
tion could almost be met by the
farmers with one years sack bills.
The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1917-01-26

minded met with favor at a NEE =
ing of the joint ways and means
co nmittee of the leg stature last
night.
To investigate the proposition as
an ecnoomic measure, a committee
of five was appointed. On this COM
nit ee are Representatives Childs
and Ashley and Senator's Gill.
Strayer and Farrell. The committee
will investigate the idle normal
school II mis- at Wcs on. Ashland
and Drain. Representative Childs
made the suggestion.
Senator Strayer said he had these
idle buildings in mind for use in
caring for the children now in
state aided institutions when the
matter comes up for cutting off
state support from these institu-
tionS.

pOsTOFHCE RECEIPTS GROW

An interesting comparison has
been made between the business of
the local postoffice now and that of
q years ago. The stamp sales dur
ing the month Of December, 1889,
when L. S. Wood was postmaster,
reached the total of $255.9l.
During December of last year Post
master Van Wrinkles stamp sales
were S6l9.S0, showing an increase
of $363.S9. This showing tends to
contradict a theory often heard that
'.the good old days" in Weston were
the best days for business since
postoffice receipts may be taken as
pretty fair index. In the same
month Postmaster Wood did $1,000
more money order business than
Postmaster Van Wrinkle. but Weston
did not then boast of bank.
