Main street and enquired for any

or longer. He was directed to Mr..
Miller, who was standing near. The
man introduced himself as J. j. Glib

of Mr.. Miller if he had known Mr..
Maxwell, an uncle.
Answering in the affirmative, the
man from the east said he was the
son of Mrs. Gibbons, and when Mr..
Miller informed him that he also had
known her and had buried both her
and her brother, Pat Maxwell, the
traveller was entirely overcome.
He said he had come from the
East for the sole purpose of visiting
his mothers grave. He was but a
small boy when his mother died. Mr..
Miller accompanied Gibbons to the

OUTSIDE STUDENTS WILL
PAY MORE FOR TUITION

Students whose homes are outside
of the state of Oregon will hereafter
have to pay a higher fee for educa-
ton obtained in either the Univer-
sity of Oregon or the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, as result of ac-
tion taken at a meeting of joint
committee of the boards of regents.
The existing rate of $50 year for
non-residents has been raised to $105,
the same amount as is now charged
in both the University of Washing
ton and the University Of California.
The only exceptions to this are the
students who have matriculated In
the University under the old rate,
who will continue at the rate through
out their college courses; graduate
students, who will pay no extra fee,
since it is the policy of all institu-
tions of higher education to en-
courage exchange Of advanced stu
dents; and ex-service men, who will
be held for only half Of the new fee
1t was the aim Of the committee
as explained after the meeting at
which the change was decided upon
to put the fees where they would moi
be prohibitive and at the same time
would prevent such an overflow Of
nonresident students as would tax
the facilities and resources of the In
stitutions,

Stock Land Bank
Doing Business

Although in business only
month, says the Oregon Journal,
the Oregon Washington Joint Stock
Land bank of Portland is closing
more than $1,0O0,000 of 6 per cent
farm loans. The flood of applications
from farmers of Oregon and Wash
'ington shows that the federal farm
loan act under which the joint stock
land bank was created is proving ve-
ry popular with farmers. They are
already beginning to realize the i'm
mense benefit to accrue to them
and to agriculture through this new
method of financing that for the first
time in history provides them with
long time, cheap money.
The Oregon Washington bank is
the first joint stock land bank to op-
crate in the Pacific Northwest and an
analysis Of its loan applications gives
the first opportunity to ascertain the
purpose for which the farmers desire
money and shows their views Of the
federal land bank act. Thus far the
overwhelming member of applicants
have stated that they desire to serure
loans to refund existing high inter-
est bearing mortgages. A strong mi
pority are seeking additional funds
for improvements, however.
The division of the applications in
to groups shows that the wheat rails
ers of Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton lead both in the number of .appli-
cations made and the amount of loans
desired. The stock men are second,
with alfalfa raisers third and fruit
growers fourth.
The average loan made thus far is
$4,000.
"There is no doubt but that the
joint stock land bank system is des-
tined to play an all important part
in financing our FARMS" said Robert
E. Smith, president Of both the Ore
gon- Washington Stock Land Bank
and the Lumbermens Trust company
bank. "The farmers are very enthu-
siactic over the plan, which for the
first time in history gives them cheap
money and up to 33 years to repay it
"Any number Of farmers have told
us that 6 per cent money means a
difference between profit and loss tc
them, and the long term loan will
make it extremely easy for them Ia
carry on operations and meet their
obligations promptly. The fact that
borrowers have to pay no bonus OF
commission for their loan under the
federal act is meeting with universal
approval"

HERE WITH AFGHAN BEAUTY
Red.Haired Huntress Arrives From
Asia In Company Of Retired Brit
ish Army officer.

When the White Star liner Adrl-
attic arrived here recently from tour
of Mediterranean ports there was on
board one Percival NJ. Fielding, a re-
tired army captain Of London, and
Tazidah the beautiful, said recent
issue of the New York Tribune.
II was in the hills of Afghanlstan
that the captain first met Tazidah She
was chasing gazelle over the snow
covered hills. Her red hair streamed
behind her in the breeze. Her easy
grace attracted the attention Of the
captain.
Later he came to know her better.
He gave her sweetmeats. From that
time on they were lnseparable. BE.
fore long 1t was common sight at
the inn to see the captain smoking his
pipe with one hand and stroking TAIL
dah's lovely red hair with the other.
When the captain left the hills of At
ghanlstan Tazidah went with him.
Tuzidah had unusually large feet,
but in her own country no one ever
thought Of them in any other than an
admiring way. They were hunters,
those people, and Tazldah was hunt
ress. Her feet were of invaluable
service to her in pursuing ga
zelles. Being as they were, big and
fat they acted as snowshoes. They
had been big from the day of her birth,
and were looked upon by her country
men as a rare inheritance.
Tazldah stood on deck, rejoicing In
the sloppy weather. TO be sure, the
snow was more diluted than TINT to
which she had been accustomed. But
II was snow, and that was the main
thing. She yearned for the sight Of o
gazelle
"Are you going to enter In the dol
showi" some one asked the captain.

she's a rare dog and fast on her feet
EhY Oh. she's an Afghan gazell'
hound"

Certified Seeds Merits
Clearly Demonstrated

The great advantage in planting
certified potato seed is illustrated by
field of potatoes belonging to AL
Knight, near Mission station. Mr..
Knight used eight tons Of certified
seed which he bought Of W. l.. Ray
born, well known grower of Weston
mountain. Last week his field was
gone over by state inspector, ac-
companied by Fred Bennion, county
agent After being thoroughly
rogued out it showed a 81 percent
stand, containing only one percent
Of all potato diseases combined. 9th
er fields adjoining, where common
seed had been planted, were found
to be diseased to the extent of from
80 to 55 percent. Herein is an OBJ
ject lesson which will probably not
be lost upon Umatilla county spud
men in the future.

HARVEST UNDER WAY

Harvest operations are well under
way in this section, many machines
having started up this week. Other
machines will begin operations Mon
day, so that next week will see grain
cutting full blast. General indica-
tions point to an average crop OF
grain, although quality is "pinched'
in varied degree. Some fields are
getting by with small damage from
hot winds of several weeks ago,
while others show the effects consid-
erably more. Thirty to forty-fiye
bushels per acre seems to be the
yield.

PIERCE AGAIN HAMMERS AT PROBLEM
OF HIGH TAXES IN PORTLAND SPEECH

Walter M. Pierce was the principal
speaker before the open meeting OF
the Democratic club, held Saturday
night in Portland, and presided over
by Edgar Frees, president Of the club
Frees outlined the purposes of the
club, declaring it intends to make act
i've workers out of Oregon's young
Democrats, and that within six weeks
it will have an active representative
in every precinct in Multnomah coun-
ty.
Other speakers at the meeting were
Elton Watkins, Democratic nominee
for the state senate, and DR.. G. J.
Smith, state central committeeman.
Pierce's evening address covered
much the same ground as that Of the
afternoon. He gave striking instances
of the constant increase in taxation in
Oregon, and declared the time has
come to call halt. He compared the
taxation Of this state with several OF
the Middle Western states, showing
that the burden here is excessive.
"Piling up Of bonds is where the
real trouble comes," said the speaker
"For years this state was without
bonds. Then in 1917 body of men
went up to Salem and urged little
matter of $6,O00,0O0 bond issue
That was five years ago, and now
Oregon has passed to the heaviest
bonded state in the union, considering
wealth and population. These bonds
sold way below par, but they have to
be paid for at. 100 cents on the dollar
besides the interest.
"We may not be able to tighten the
tax burden SO very much but we car
prevent its increasing, and we will
/ charge no graft, for I don't know Of
any, but we have paid too much fol
what we've got.
"We have an excess Of state offici
ais. There's an army Of clerks at Sal
EN- and an army of automobiles, ant
somebody has to pay for the gas ant
tires. We can consolidate many Of oul
commissions and abolish others.

to go into the record.
"There are two lines of thought II
this state today on the matter Of get
ting money to relieve the burder
which the farmer has to carry III
must get relief or he'll have to leav'
the farm. We must redistribute thi'
burden or the Anglo-Saxon farmer
will be thing of the past.
"One of these thoughts is the in

that I'm for 1t, If that beats me fol
governor then let il, for am for th'
income tax unalterahly, II you don
make the money you don't have t
