There are eight agricultural experts In the Holden party, and this party will divide after reaching here Wed nesday and on Thursday and Friday three branches of the main party will Journey by automobile, by railroad and by wagon to the uttermost parts of the county, where the message of alfalfa and what can be done for Eastern Ore gon by scientific methods in raising this profitable crop will be delivered to the ranchers. Farmer! Are Interested. But every section of the party will not be reached, so the farmers are planning to come to Baker for the b!g mass meeting Wednesday night Interest is at a high pitch throughout the county and word has come from all sides that the ranchers are coming here for the meetings. Some will come here, hear the talks and then go to their homes and hear the speakers In the groups which will visit their es pecial sections. Others are coming because the Itinerary of the parties which will travel through the county does not happen to be near their ranches. One party will Journey over the Kumpt6r Valley Railroad and will sp into Grant County by automobile from Prairie City, visiting the arid John ray county, where It is proposed to show that alfalfa will be the crop which will not only yield good returns, but which will save the soil from be ing starved out, as has been the case where grain has been the sole crop for many successive years. Single Crop Deemed I'nwlMe. Still another party will Journey into the lowlands of tho Eagle and Pine Valleys, where the growing of corn fend alfalfa will be advocated and the farmers cautioned against the one-crop Idea. C. H. Allen, member of the Hold en party, who is In Baker in advance of the regular party, declares that this will be one of the big features of the lectures. Too much, he said today, the farmers of Oregon and Washington are pinning their faith, year after year, to one crop, and he cited instance after instance where the soil had been robbed entirely of its humus and made unfit for further use for years to come. Just because the crop was not rotated. The third party .will visit what Is known as the Baker Valley, going about 30 miles north and 20 miles south, stopping at the schoolhouses and .small towns to exchange ideas with the farmers. Baker is enthusiastic over the pro posed visit. When the party arrives Wednesday afternoon there will be a brass band at the train and a big pa rade through the business streets. There will be informal meetings In the afternoon, a big dinner at which representative ranchers and business men will meet and talk with the agri culturists and at night a monster mass meeting In the Courthouse.

Governor West today made the follow ing statement regarding his attitude toward W. M. Plimpton, secretary of the State Printing Board: "Referring to the protest of the Mult nomah Typographical Union against the appointment of Mr. Plimpton as secretary of the State Printing Board, I wish to say that the Impression which has been given out through the press that I had indorsed Mr. Plimpton is erroneous. I have never indorsed him, but in the interest of harmony in the Board have simply been keeping my hands out of this affair. "Mr. Plimpton did not owe his ap pointment to me, but since he received the appointment I have felt that the public interests demanded that he be not embarrassed In his work by any lack of co-operation on my part. In view of this I have assisted him every way possible and will continue to do so as long as he is in office. "My reason for opppsing him in the start was upon other grounds than those which he Is now being attacked. Because I do not deem it in the public Interest to Join in the attack now being made upon him is no reason why I should be enlisted as one of his In dorsers and supporters. He and his friends must fight their own battles. I have troubles of my own." MAIL MEN CAN'T RESIGN No One Found to Take Places of Two Men at Banks. BANKS, Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.)
