Notes

New 0rleans-rhousands Of ex-ser-
vice men are expected to attend the
American Legion National convention
in New Orleans, October 16-20th as
a result Of the announcement Of a
railroad rate of one fare for the
round trip. Announcement of the re-
dueed rate was made by E. A. Simmon,
chairman of the Legion's national
transportation committee. The rate
has been accepted as official by Han
ford MseNider, Legion National Com
mander.
The reduced fare, which will be eff
fective on all railroads, will apply to
members of The American Legion,
and its auxiliary, widows, of deceased
members of the legion and to dele
gates to the convention of the Inter-
allied Veterans Federation which will
be held the week before the Legion
gathering,
Legion convention officials estimate
that a crowd of 100, 900 visitors will
attend the national gathering rs a re-
suit of the fare reduction. Several
thousand legionnaires are also ex-
pected to take advantage of the fifty
per cent reduction granted on all yes
sells of the United States Shipping
Board.
The railroad rate table based on the
reduced fare shows that those in Ore
gon contemplating attending the con-
vention, will pay s9s.5S for fare from
Portland, Oregon to New Orleans, La.
and return.
In these days of Modern improve
ments it is certainly refreshing to
run across a roller towel ossasion-
ally.-Pacifie Legion.

W. OF PUBLIC OPINION

The railroad shop crafts have lost the strike.
They have been beaten as no band of strikers was
ever beaten.
They were beaten because from the very start
public opinion was solidly against them and no
strike can succeed against such opposition.
Public opinion was against them, first, because
after the public had established an impartial trib-
unal to peaceably adjust differences between them
and railroad arrangements, they refused to abide
by its decisions; and, second, because they refused
to accept a wage award though it fixed wages from
20 to go per cent higher than in 1917.
Strikes are bad things. They smybolize anarchy
no less than industrial warfare.
This one has visited misfortune and hardship on
many who were c~ontented with their rate OF pay
and working conditions but who went on strike be-
cause an arrogant and stupid leadership so ordered.
They deserve no public sympathy, for from cow
ardly assaults on defenseless men who refused to
strike to bomb-throwing, train-wrecking and muir
der they stopped at nothing to accomplish their
selfish ends.
When smypathizers under the false and subtle
pretense Of defective equipment deserted trains
on a sweltering desert and subjected innocent wo-
men and children TO suffering and hardship their
reprehensible acts were brazenly applauded by
strike ~agitators.
If this strike did nothing else it set the sober
mind of America in action against bolsheyism as
II never was before. 1t has aroused the law-abid-
ing. law-respecting element of the people to a re-
a~lization that bolsheyism is not confined to Russia
and that if the cherished h~eritages and institutions
Of civilization are to be preserved a public duty at
taches to the citizen to see that justice prevails,
law is upheld and transgressions and transgres-
sors are commensurately penalized.-he Manu.

While the Rodeo did not make money above eX-
penses this year, it came very near breaking even.
When it is considered that there was some expense
that had to be met in the way of permanent fixtures,
such as the grand stand, it is figured that the COM
mittee came out ahead, as this expense will not
have to be met another year. 1t was a very credit
able exhibition, staged by purely local talent and
should be made an annual festival for Heppner.
Its management this year was in the hands of good
men who admit that there is room for improvement
in many ways and future events, if staged here,
will be spared some of the features that were the
cause Of some criticism this season. The big crowds
of people assembled during the three days were
orderly and appeared to enjoy themselves to the
full. A few instances Of ruff stuff were noted
and the perpetrators were promptly handled by the
police force which kept an eye open at all times for
those who would be real bad, as well as the fellows
who had imbibed too much moonshine and bootleg
The town was thrown open to the visitors for a
good time, and there was no interference with any
who desired to enjoy themselves the very best way
they could. The Rodeo will be a bigger success in
every way another year.

WE NEED MORE BURBANKs
BY RICHARD LLOYD loNES

The boy in school fifty years ago looking upon
the map Of the United States in his geography
found the vast territory between the Pacific Coast
states and the Missouri River designated as the
Great American Desert.
Since that time the surveyor has clearly defined
the state lines, and into these states hundreds of
thousands Of brave people have pioneered.
There today great cities stand, sky scrapers pierce
the sky, the hammer is heard, business thrives, the
parched lands are kissed with irrigation bitches that
drain the glaciers melting flow and spread bounty
and prosperity into the lap of an aggressively pro-
~gresSive people.
On that desert land the great Burbank lives.
From OFT that hopeless wilderness he brought forth
fruits that have been the wonder of the world.
Daniel Webster was a wise man. But amaze
ment would make him wiser we're he alive today.
On the floor of the United States Senate he OPP
posed the acquisition of the Oregon territory be-
cause he said, you cannot roll a wheel out there"
Soon after Daniel made this declaration fellow
BY the name OF Whitman rolled wheel out there.
On his wheel Whitman laid a load of apple tree
roots. With them he planted out there what have
grown to be the greatest apple orchards in the
world.
The changed map has taught anew the old les
son uldt all ullISS arc pOS>lulC u ulS hICu WIZ uc-
ny defeat, to the men who dare.
Twenty years ago we used TO speak of undevel-
oped sections as the last west As we have closed
in on these unsettled places we found the new east.
While developing ways to fertile fields in what
was once the desolate desert We learned much.
Now abandoned farms in New York and New Eng
land are attracting the college trained agriculturist
of the West. The Carolinas and the Southern
States about them are revealing farms that lure the
Iowan, than whom there is no better farmer known.
Florida, long looked upon as a tangled mass of
semi-tropical verdure, is proving to be a matchless
garden spot. Good land is everywhere.
Our agricultural colleges are turning out engin-
GERS TO irrigate and drain; chemists who teach US
how to r~eplenish the soil; agronomists who tell us
how to grow better grain and captains of commerce
who show us how to make a better product-pack
and find better market. These colleges are chang
ing farming from d~rudgery to a scientific profess
sion.
Lincoln said, Il always plucked the thistle and
planted a flower wherever | thought a flower would
grow"
Give us more Burbanks; give US more scientific
ally trained men, and we have land enough in the
United States to feed and clothe all the people in
the whole wide world.

PROHIBITION
 WILL PAY ITS OWN EXPENSES
Commissioner Says Reve- nucs Overbalance the Ten Million Dollar En- forcement Cost.

Philadelphia, April 2.-Revenues from the national prohibition act should pay many times over for the $10,00O,000 appropriated for the en- forcement of the dry laws during the coming year, Prohibition Com missioner Haynes said Monday night before a law enforcement meeting
 "It would be interesting to the people to know" he said, "that If we were to collect the fines, penal ties and special taxes imposed upon violators of the law in the first six months of this administration they would more than pay two and one- half times the estimated cost of en- forcing the prohibition law for the next year. These enormous figures do not include nearly $5,000,000 i'll bonds that are being forfeited to the government, or $2,00V,000 that has been offered in compromise by 21 of the large violators of the law, and does not include the $6,000, 900 in differential or prohibitive taxes that has been referred to previous ly."
 < Immediately preceding prohibition, MT. Haynes said, there was an an nual consumption in the country of about 130, 100000 gallons of Amer ican-made whiskey, while during the year 1920 approximately 12,500,0 900 gallons of ,whiskey were withdrawn from warehouses under permits, and in 1921 withdrawals amounted to about S,500,000 gallons. On the basis of the last three or four months he reported, withdrawals this year will amount to about 2,000,O00 gal Ions, which is perhaps only about 5Oo,000 gallons in excess of nor nal medicinal requirements"
 Of the 500 breweries manufactur- ing near-beer at the beginning of this fiscal year, he said. 2S5 have been reported for alleged violation of the law; 95 plants are under seizure orders by the government. and offers in compromise as high as $96.000 have been received.

Orange. Texas, April 12.-It's go- ing to be hard season for old man
 Walking Johnnie" Thompson, base balls most fanatical devotee, base balls foremost "oracle."
 "Pickings" are not going to be easy for Walking Johnnie" Base ball fans hereabouts no longer are going to dispute his prophecies, and they're not going to lay any wagers that he is wrong.
 In his ramble-shack of a house boat, moored to the banks of the Sabine river, at the rear of a livery stable, where he holds his audiences, the eighty-five-year-old dopester has perhaps the oldest assortment of possessions of any man in America. In mute tribute to his uncanny knowledge of baseball there in that little old houseboat are corncob pipes galore and socks, shoes, hats, to- bacco, false teeth, crutches, walking canes, cigars just as much galore!
 They're winnings from his wagers. Typically Texan, although New

Thompson gets his dessert from the confectioner, who thought "Walking Johnnie" was wrong.

 In poorly lighted room, foul with livery-stable odors, stuffy from lack of ventilation, this strange and decrepit old wonder studies stat istics. There he studies the mental and physical makeup of ball play CTS thousands of miles away, meet ing them in his own mind and pon- dering over their playing capacities, present and future.
 Strangely, Walking JohMnie" Thompson has never seen major league ball game! The nearest ap- proach to that was when he wit messed game between the Philadel- phia Athletics, when Connie Mack's crew trained here, and the Houston (TeXas League) club. Thompson came to Orange shortly after the Civil war. He was a member of a New York regiment during that con- flict. His queer nom de plume he wears because he doesn't like auto- mobiles.

New Oil Field Is
 Hit at Ell Dorado

Fl Dorado, Ark, April >12.-The Woody ct al No. well, located. in the southwest quarter of section g. 1S-14, five miles southeast of El Dorado, came in at o'clock yester day afternoon, making a good yield of dry gas. The bringing in of this enormous gas well has caused more excitement here than any well since the Busey, early last year, as it proves that a probably much larger oil field than the original one has been encountered. Acreage east of town is soaring and the town is again filling up like after the boom last year.
 The Terry Summerfield oil well, which came in last Sunday, is mak- ing highly pleasing showing. It it located three miles north of the giant Woodley gasser. This well is twice the size of any gasser brought in in this field.
