SAVES OVER $2,000,000 The Internal resources of the west are called to notice by the experience of the government in connection with tne build' inj of the irigation dam on Salt river, for the Tonto basin reclamation project it wa found that 22,000 barrels of cement would be required for the immense dam. As the dam Is' located 62 (mi!es from a railroad, the -question of cement was a serious one, but it was discovered that it was possible to make excellent cement at the dam site, and a mill was established at that point, which is now in operation. By adopting th.s plan over $2,000,000 was saved in the cost of the improvement So elsewhere throughout in west there are immense economic opportunities which only await the crea tion of a demand sufficient to ' justify cipital in making the developments re quired to make the raw material avail- a le. Orchard and Farm. 00 YEARS AGO The two hundredth anniverta-y of Ben amin Franklin will be on Jan. 1 7th. Tnat day should be observed all over the United States, for he was the greatest. all around man, America has ever pro duced. ' The Observer suggasts that our schools take up the history of Franklin and from now until Jan. 17th. make a daily study of his life, character and the great work be performed, and useful thought he gave for the elevation of man. Let every boy and girl be required to write a composition on Franklin, and to encourage them, where possible, a suita ble prize or certificate of merit be glvan to the best in each school. W. J. Lachner, an active attorney and prominent Republican of Baker county, his announced himself a Candida's for congress, t.ircugh the Baker C.ty Herald. Our forests in the past have been valuable resources and will continue to te for many decides. To illustrate, a few weeks ago the Grande Ronde Lumber company commenced on a body of timber as large as their combined annual cuts for the pist fifteen years. Whatever maybe said of the success of New Zealand s socialistic government thj New Zealanders seem to 1 ke it. The general election recently hald on the island resulted 'in an overwhelming victory for the administration of , Piemier Sadden. , ,", ' ' ', The idea1 that the hold over ser.a'ors are not bound by the voice of the people as they may express thoir desires for United States Senator, is not well founded. They are morally bound to , tha same ex tent as those who are to be elected next June. If any of them think the people do not entertain this view let them become candidates for re-election.' The leg'sla- ... ..'- tors have made such a ' farce in the lection of their senators thit the people ar determined to take it jpto their own hands,' ' ' ' 1 ..' .

This is just so much profit. The next step for the farmer to make is to meet with his neigh bors at least'once a week for a couple of hour and get in touch with each other's advantage more definitely. Organization at the school house will answer this last purpose. This wuh the telephone and rural delivery will make the chain corri p ete and so formidable it can not be broken. Orchard and Farm. .
