Carter of this city to give the city
the commission that would accrue
from the sale of either of the equip

The public spirit manifested deserves
note. Likewise the action of the
Commercial club in subscribing $500

take 5000 worth OF warrants. to-

The oregon Voter does itself u
gross injustice In preparing the spe-
cious arguments against the milloge
tax proposals for the May primaries
OF course Brother Chapman casts up
protection with note that the ar
guments are. under no oircum-
stances to be quoted as an opinion OF
the Voter" The manner in which
the arguments are put forth, with all
the Chapmanlan skin and plausihil-
ity, will lead many TO accept them
without investigation.
Il IL all very well TO print both
sides OF the argument. every fair
publication will do that; but that
does not call for the publication OF
positive misstatements; as for ex-
ample that concerning the proposed

ever been informed no one has pro-
posed TO issue S40.OOO,OO worth Of
bonds for this purpose.
Again In declaring that the schools

tho purposes for which they were
created is misleading. The Voter

Great Addition 10 County's Resources
Noted In Completion Of 10000
Acre Project In South
End of County.

The Cary Act project on Jordan
Creek in the south end of the county
Is being settled up with experienced
farmers from the Twin Falls country
and other irrigated regions, accord
ing to reports from that section. A
number of new settlers are arriving
a number of whom are going upon
the lower unit This project en-
braces upwards OF 10000 acres of
good bench land and will add much
to the county's resources when final
ly developed. One OF the greatest
difficulties to be overcome IL that OF
transportation, the nearest railroad
being over seventy miles from much
OF the land. To partly overcome
this handicap. many OF the esttlors
plan on raising seed crops and II Is
the expressed opinion of good many
that the soil and climate will prove
favorable to clover seed production.
Work Is still in progress on the
storage and distribution system for
the lower unit, tho much land IL
being cleared and possibly some OF II
will he seeded this year. On the upper
unit. more progress has been made
and a considerable acreage OF crops
will be grown this season. The new
town Of Ruby. situated halfway be-
tween the two units promises to be-
come trading point for a consider
able part Of the project

Big Membership Campaign De.
cided Upon at the Annual
Meeting, Held Friday.

held in Sleepy Eye, Friday. Quite
large mber of members were in at.
tendance The speakers fr m outside.
the counS y were f.. T.. French, secre-::
.tary Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, and I. B. Johnson, who,
operates a farm in Ramsey county.
Mr.. French spoke at some length OF
the work being done by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation and the
AmericansaFa Farm Bureau Federation,
while Mr.. Johns. talk dealt chiefly
with the work ofsthe lecalsunit4 OF the
Farm Bureaus ~
The meeting went on record as
favoring the putting on Of a member
ship campaign in this county on the
same plan that is being used so sue
cessfully in aslarge number OF other
counties No dates have be n set
as yet for this campaign. 1t is evident
that the farm bureau movement IS
coming into it's own. People under
stand it better and there is a remark
able lack of open antagonism. Since
the Farm Bureau is an organization
which does not recognize political
parties and as result IS absolutely
unfettered by any political ties OF
hindered by any political prejudices,
it is evident that the organization has
a great future ahead of it.

were elected for the new year: Presi-
