The order was made upon the tno- itlon of the defendant com- pany, which represented that it Is an Incorporation ope rat- lng under the laws of New York state, and that there- fore the Oregon circuit court has no jurisdiction. In view or this showing Judge Hamilton ! ordered the case moved to the U. S. district court . The action grows oat of the settlement by the Sgobel and Day company for fresh prunes purchased thla year. Craven holds the assigned claims of approximately fifty fruit growers of the county, 4 who maintain that they con- traded with the company for a specified price.

IS Differences in Needs' East and West Pointed Out at Conference. TRADE BALANCE NEAR One Division Needs Water, Other Fertilization; ; Government Not to Colonize. (AMoeUtsd tnm Loaid Win ) WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Con servation of natural, resources and reclaiming of land lost to agricul ture were defined as the "two real questions vital to the supremacy of the nation," by Secretary Work in an address today opening a con ference on reclamation and colon ization of idle lands. "We must begin again, in the east, aa did our forefathers," be said, "nou to conquer the land, wreak a living from It and aband on It but to restore It." Reclam ation from now on, the secretary believes, sbould Include the recap ture and restoration of lost fertili ty, asserting that 'when the lime la extracted from the soil and de posited In men's arteries, the end of that community Is In sight." Millions Spent. Emphasising the economic Im portance of reclamation of Idle land in the east. Which be estimated at a large pronortlon of the 452.000, 000 acres of Idle land in the coun try. Mr. Wofk continued: "Reclamation of these humid re gions does not reoulre the expendi ture of millions of dollars for Irri gation work. Their water supply comes from the clouds and . Is spread without cost. The federal government has spent $200,000,000 to build Irrigation works to pro vide water for 1.ROO.OO0 acres of arid and seml-arld land In the west. Sixty million dollars will be re quired to complete these works and a like sum Is to be spent on new projects. Expenditure of les ser sums for fertilisers in the re storation of exhausted lands would make quick returns and eliminate the long haul." Irrigated agriculture Is a special ty to which eastern farmers are not attracted, the secretary said, add ing that "reclamation is a nation al problem and should be so treat- ed We ,hould farm less and farm better." Weat Bears Unequal Strain. Social and economic' phases of the question were also discussed. The secretary declared that a n economic strain was Increasing In the Pacific and the , rest of the country. Remarking that western ers bad turned manufacturers and were developing a market through the Golden Gate, be believed that "economlcallv a trade division Is nendlpg between the Atlantic and Pacific states." "Home production and home con sumption will soon demand intens ive studv bv our economists." he continued. The great divide al ready means more than a "Jam In the earth's surface. It Is already rent In the economic fabric of a nation." It Is the Intention of the Interior department, he said, to use the 3100.000.000 appropriated bv con gress for the study of settlement or Idle lands in a comprehensive way rather than In promoting lo cal colonization schemes. Real Farmars Wanted. The conference was called to order by Dr Elwood Mead, com missioner of reclamation, who in a brief welcome said the problem of rectamation waa essentially that of retting cultivators on land rather than preparing land for them, a problem which In his opinion af fected not only the west, but the entire country. This conference Is to be "one of the most Important conferences called In my official life," he con tinued. Applause greeted his statement that on the qttestlon of.reolsma- tlon "the secretary of agriculture and the secretary of the Interior seem to be going In the same di rection at the same time. I think that mav he because we are going the rl'ht direction." FARM BETTER WORK'S ADVICE Jardine Wants Factories. Recrefsnr Jsrdlne followed Sec retary Work, emphaslilne nation wide aspects of rec'smatlon and the necessity of finding markets for farmers' surnlus production. "Over production." he said. "Is the moat perplexing n robin)'" now before the American farmer." He added that much land that had been under gr and haa been plowed np and settled should hsve been left as range land. "There would seems to be no need of gov ernment effort at this present time (Contejjfjf on page 1) Latin-Hebrew Inscriptions Found .
