Agent Skuse and the County Agri-
cultural Committee for Tuesday,
October 9Th, at 800 P. NJ sharp at
the High School Auditorium in
White Bluffs.
Those in charge of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
desire to develop the 1887 program
early, so farmers can have plenty
of opportunity to consider it's ad
aptability to their next years farm
ing operations.
Indications are that the 1887
program will be adapted to all land
uses and farm situations, no matter
what the types of production. Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace has
announced: there must be a sound
conservation program for irrigated
areas for range lands, for the veg
etable, fruit, and other highly spe-
cialized crop regions and for lands
used for double cropping"
The 1887 program, therefore, will
undoubtedly interest many more
farmers in the state of Washington
especially in the so-called special
ty" industries. The 1896 program
had to be developed in a hurry, and
many of the provisions were not
adaptable to some of the farm sit
uations in the state.
At the county meeting, farmers
will be encouraged to discuss con-
servation thoroughly and freely and
to express their views on what they
want for 1897. Their ideas will be
incorporated in a state report. This
report will be submitted and studied
at a regional meeting of northwest
tates in Pocatello, Idaho, October
18th, at which time, recommends
tions for the 1897 program will be
submitted to AAA officials for the
western states.

Mr.. Campbell, of Kennewick, on
cur streets early in the week, re-
marked that he had noticed many
South Dakota, Nebraska, and other
midwest states cars daily passing
through Kennewick, most of them
headed for Yakima, which spot
seems to be highest in favor among
the migrators. Hardly a night but
one or more families stayed at his
camp. Due to the past few dry
years in the prairie states, the west
ern migration of the discontents
there has been especially noticeable
this summer. While it is true that
there is much opportunity in hese
states of the Pacific northwest
states, it is equally true that, in the
great majority of cases, it will re-
quire ingenuity, patience, and re-
source to find their expected treas
ure at the rainbow's end, and, al
though many of the newcomers
bear all the marks of splendid Cit
zens, the majority will doubtless
continue their trek in search of E.
lysian fields and salubrious chimes
and full pocketbooks.

Editor Wilder is a stranger in
White Bluffs, but he has noticed
trait or two of the population. He
has noticed and appreciates the
friendly and helpful attitude of the
citizens, the general interest in the
world series (basebalD, and the
comparative lack of interest in foot
ball, though those who were inter
ested in the latter game were en-
thusiastic. He has seen many OF
the games Minnesota has played
and was enthusiastic over their vic
tory over Washington, yet fully APP
preciated the wonderful game play
ed by the Washington team. His
choice for the world series is the
American League entry, with the
Giants to win three of the seven.
Interest in sports is sign OF a
hustling and progressive commun-
ity. Those who work hard invari-
ably evince great interest in our
great national pastimes baseball,
football, basketball, track, golf, ten
mis-, etc. So far he likes this section.

The editor is pleased to note the
progressive spirit of White Bluffs

tenance of that tendency to pro-

Billings Young Mans Hobby Led to Art
Career; Headquarters Located At Chicago

A tall, ~bespectacled youth leaped
off a cattle train as it pulled into the
Chicago stockyards from Montana IL
years ago, determined to make o
name for himself in the field of art.
He could have ridden to Chicago in
from home to start his career If he
wished, but he had decided to strike
out for himself and begin as most sue
ceSSful artists have dOne-pennileSS but
with quantities of ambition.
The years that followed were ones of
hard work and privationS. Many times
he became discouraged but never would
tain the goal which he had set. The
road to success. he found, was much
longer and obstaclestrewn than he had
first imagined.
From time to time he showed sample
sketches to Chicago art critics and
publishers but they offered him no en-
couragement. Sometimes he wondered
if he shouldn't have followed law as his
father had wished.
