Farmers' Attention!
Would you like to attend the Grain
Growers' convention to be held in Cor
vallis during Farmers' Week at
O. A. C? Do you know that the fare
will be one and a third ($15.10) for
the round-trip ? If 30 Union county I
men will agree to go, we can secure a
tourist car direct from La Grande to
Corvallis. This will cost for the 30
or more in addition $25 a day or less
than a dollar a day. This car will be
on the siding at Corvallis and you
will sleep there each night. Meals
can be secured very reasonably, and
that will be practically your only
other expense for the trip. This same
car will bring you back to La Grande
Saturday or Sunday night for the
week ending January 6. If you are
not interested in the Grain Growers'
convention you might attend any of
the following conventions during that
week: Seed and Potato Growers'
convention, Convention of Organized
Farmers, Hog Producers School,
Rural legislative Conference, Oregon
Swine Breeders' convention, A Thrift
convention, Oregon State Dairymen's
convention, Prune convention, Road
Builders' convention and Tractor and
Stationary Gas Engine school. These
are a few of the interesting things
going on at that time. Thirty dollars
ought to make the trip. Let me know
at onco if you are interested as we
have but a few days' time to get to
gether on this proposition. Paul H.
Spillman, County Agricultural Agent,

McCully Funeral Held.
This afternoon members of ' the
Elks' lodge presided over the funeral
of tho lute Wilmer D. McCully, who
died suddenly Monday. Acting Ex
alted Ruler Norman Desitlet conduct
ed the services and Attorney Colon
20 Gas Engines and 10 Tractors at
O. A. C. for Use of Student
Farmers.
Corvallis, Ore.j Dec.1 21. ('Special)'
"Will the gas tractor supplant the
horse on the farm?" Every farmer is
entitled to his own opinion about this,
but because tractors are coming mora
and more into favor, progressive
farmers are seeking some mean's' of
investigating the matter.
To give the farmers of Oregb'K "km
opportunity to acquaint themselves
with the tractor situation, by meeting
with the actual conditions, the Farm
Mechanics department of the Agricul
tural college has arranged a gas 'fyi
gine and tractor school January 1 to
14, to be held in connection with'the
Farmers' Week' and Annual' Sfiort '
Course. , ''.
The work will give those' Who. en-
roll the best opportunity to become
acquainted with the 20 gas engines,
and 10 trnctors that will be assem
bled. Fundamentals of machine de
sign and the principles of internal
combustion engines will open the
work, after which the operation of the
machines will be demonstrated and
then the farmers themselves will have
an opportunity to operate them, un
der experienced men who will offer
suggestions and help when needed.
Study will be of ignition and carbu
retor troubles and in fact everything
that should be known in regard to
tractor operation, maintenance and
repair. Pipe fitting and soldering
will be taken up as allied with engine
work.
A fee not to exceed $5.00 will be
charged, the funds to be used only
for the purchase of fuels and oils,
such as are used by the fnrmers
themselves, in the actual -operation of
the tractors, and any balnnce remain
ing will be refunded. Those attend,
ing may take advantage of the spe
cial rates offered by tho railroads
and the reasonable living expenses in
