At that time the flat where Pendleton
is located was covered with cotton
woods and a thorn thicket But one
house stood near here, that being be-
low the state hospital, then known as
Swifts crossing. Later the site where
Pendleton stands was sold by Abe
Miller to Nose Goodwin for a ,consid-

In those days, said the colonel, the
entire district was covered with
bunchgrass two feet high and there
were well worn trails in various di-
rections made by the Indians or by
animals. The few houses first erected
along the river were covered with
grass and dirt roofs, the houses being
made of logs, In the early days when
the county court met or judges came
here to hear cases in the old court
house they came horseback, with
blankets and frying pans tied on be-

DR.. TEMPLE ENTERS
REPRESENTATIVE RACE

DR., T. L. Temple today announced
his candidacy for the republican
nomination for representative from
this county The chief planks in his
platform, given inc full below call for
economy and state income tax. AT
the tax commission meeting yesterday
DR.. Temple made talk for which he
was thanked by members of the com
mission.
Among other things contained in
his platform are the following:
We should strive for lower taxes,
economy and efficiency in STATE and
county government. Valuation of
farm lands should be based on The
earning capacity thereof, the same
reasoning should apply to corpora
tions, companies and individuals.
A graduated income tax should be
enacted not for the purpose of rails
ing more revenue but for the purpose
of eQualizing taxation.
Eighty five per cent of the taxes of
the state of Oregon is borne by real
estate and the improvements thereon.
Farmers and real property owners are
finding it burdensome and the rental
value Of land is being consumed under
present conditions to meet the pay
ment of taxes.
The excessive taxes we are called on
to pay and which we have been pay
ing at an increased rate for several
years--is largely due to bonded in
debtedness the millage taxes of the
state and municipalities. The pay
ments are made for good roads, SOL
diers' bonus. colleges, high schools
public schools, public libraries, state
institutions, paved streets, irrigation
bonds and others. all Of which are
cared for and maintained by taxation
These institutions and enterprises
| have been largely endorsed and pro-
vided for by the people themselves by
their votes at the polls. None of them
can be eliminated-they are our debt.

duCed From 60 to So Pounds
THE RESOLUTION IS
UNANIMOUSLY PASSED
1.
Mr.. Harrah Believes That All
Wheat That Tests Above
60 Should Receive Premium

That the test weight of No, White
Club wheat be reduced from 90
pounds to 5S pounds so as to be uni
form with the test weight of Hard Red
Spring wheat was asked in u resolu-
ton passed unanimously this morning
by SO wheat growers of Umatilla and
Walla Walla counties who appeared
at the court house for the grain hear

Washington grain supervisor, j. w.
Church, chief grain inspector and AL
bert p. Nelson, of the federal depart
ment of grain inspection.
Question Debated.
The resolution, introduced by s. T..
Thompson president of the trlatil.a
county Farm Bureau, followed the
reading of one of the paragraphs con-
cerning test weights, contained in a
letter from Secretary Wallace. Mr..
Thompson declared, in discussing The
matter, that he considered it very un-
Just for the test weight for Hard Red
Spring to be 5S when that OF White
Club Is so.
w. w. Harrah, who farms i'll the
Holdman district and near Pendietnn,
declared himself opposed to lowering
the test weight. He pointed out that
Il government report showed that Is
per cent of the wheat tested %
pounds. 25 tested 5S pounds, 33 tested
56 pounds, 20 tested 81 pounds and
10 tested Sc pounds.
HarIalf Talks.
II believe" said Harrah, that all
that tests above so should receive a
premium. Statistics show that we can
raise so pound White Club wheat;
why not have this wheat included in
the test weight? shipped to Kansas
City some fine wheat which tested
61."
In response to inquiry from
Thompson, IIarrah admitted that the
wheat was Red Chaff, of which very
little is grown In this county. After
Thompson's question as to Whether CT
nor MIR. Harrah knew OF way II
farm so that the test weight could be
increased, Mr.. Harrah maintained
that cultivation affected the weight OF
wheat.
II should like to know your secret.

of amusement was apparent among
the farmers. .....-.
