Returning from the state of Wash

nied by about 20 residents of that
state who seek to Investigate the dry
lands of Baker county with a view to
putting them under the low and
make them produce wheat Included
in the party are J. F. Goldsmith, F. J.
Butler, J. W. Er'-r.crt, It," J. Arm
strong. Chan. VeQue nd Mr. Potartos.
All of them sre r-'-tantlal business
people who '-iiv what dry land Is
and have goo J re 'sons for believing
what they r- lo wi:h It. One of th
party 2'.3,. to a repine? Tor the Her
aid today: "I f'l srUaTlcd that this
ibunch of men. or at least the majority
of them, are going to do some business
here, I know of no placo where' such
Inducements are offered. Sometimes
It seems almost Incredible to think that
land may be had within seven miles of
a city the size, of Baker, with, rail
roads already In and with every advan
tage that an advanced country can
give, almoM tor the asking. I cannot
understand why this magnirioent dry
land has "been overlooked. Yon sr
" v. ... um raise wtreat. Well, now you
watch that land vrtien these nen liavs
had a Trance ta trfve It m fair test."
The arrival of such men In Baker
for the purpose which they are nere
is looked upon s a vitally Important
event by many citizens Who have 'be
lieved for sometime that the dry lands
should be made to produce wheat.
Doubtless the commercial bodies of
Baker will now take up this wonderful
resource and aid in bringing 1t before)
the -people of -ether states.
