LIT HARMONY KKH.N. Malheur County is on the eve of a now eru of prosperity. Every indica tion is for better times. While other him linn of the state are retrenching nil are rryinjr "panic" and "hard times," this county has been steadily at work with its problems of advance ment, and the result is inevitable. In the past two weeks many things have their share of recognition and reports Jlir-; Credit System from the county seat bear the news , , hnt thnr k mmi.,i ,tiviiv for that ! (Continued from first paKe) industry, in the very near future. Irrigation projects in different sec tions of the county are looking up, and then- is a decided optimistic atmos phere throughout Malheur county. And now is the time for organized concerted action by all the people of all the county. A great get-together tendency hould previal. If results can be accomplished by different sec tions of the county working independ ently, then what greater results could bp accomplished if the entire county would work as a unit. The several towns of the county already boast good live Commercial clubs. It should be possible for these clubs to work to gether for the general welfare of the county. I,et harmony reign, and let us all pull together. Remember that Mal heur county with its 6,325,120 acres is big enough to support a dozen good towns, and there is no danger of any of us being wiped out.

With the visit of the Western Pacific officials and eastern financiers, comes the promise of a new railroad tor the county. A railroad that will cross through the county from north to Mouth, the long way, and will give a greater section of the county railroad transportation, than any road has yet accomplished. Malheur county is about 200 miles long, north and south and only about 76 miles wide. Thus, with railroad traversing it the entire length, the entire county will be af forded very good railroad transporta tion. The decision last week whereby eastern railroads are allowed an ad vanced freight rate, will have a direct bearing upon this proposed road of Eastern Oregon. Kor when railroad men and capitalists are shown there is a tendency of the government to aid instead of hinder them, there will he much greater activity in railroad cir- Affriculturist Here.

He left for Vale Tuesday morning to talk with the Coun ty Court concerning the extension work here. Monday afternoon he vis ited Nyssa. in company with Mr. Shinn to look over the proponed demonstra tion farm. Prof. Hetsel states that the exten sion work of the college has become a great factor in the college activities. There are now thirtynine persons en gaged exclusively in this work and cap able agriculturists are still in demand. The Importance of this work is very rles. I he decision makes stocks more evident when we look at the still un valuuble, gives the railroads greater ,eveloH-d resources of the county and erning power, and whether or not the tnt, decision was just, there will naturally follow a tendency to extern! and build new roads.

There were two reasons for this great immigration. One was to take the advantage of our cheap agricultural lands and the other was from the reason that farming in Eu rope was languishing for the want of care and consideration from the gov ernment or ruling classes. This exodus of the toilers of the farms of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland caused the ruling classes and the business men of these countries to wake up to n realization that something must be done to mnke farming more attractive and profit able. As a result the most of our for eign countries have introduced manv features as a part of their government in aiding and encouraging the farmer. In many of the foreign countries the packing plants, creameries, cheese factories and cold storage plants are built by the government or the money is loaned by the government to erect them. Experts are furnished by the government to get them started and into successful operation, and in most instances money is loaned to them at a very low rate of interest to carry their perishable products in cold storage un til the market has reached a living price. The government aided cream ery and cold storage is coming to be quite common in Canada, especially in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatche wan and Manitoba. The policy of the Canadian government seems to be that tne snortest route to general pros perity is by first making the farmers properous. "One more idea along this line is the farm credit system that prevails in most of our European countries as you know all of the well to do coun tries of Europe have farm credit asao riations that are legalised by the gov ernment and encouraged by the bank ers and business men in general. There has been a movement on foot of this character in this country for some time without material results. Presi dent Ta ft recommended its considera tion in his last message and President Wilson has recommended that farm credits lie encouraged in this country, but it seems for some cause or other that little progress has bei n made. Several lulls have been introdin eil in iniifiess but it seenis impossible to (,'et them out of the committees In which they have heel) lls.signeil for cull-, siilei utioii.

The QMOtlM of rural I credit should not only be worked out to insure greater pro.spenty to every one not only as a business proposition but there is a sentiment in this matter that we should not overlook. It is not only to the loimtry's material welfare to have the farmer prosperous and satisticil but very essential to the .safety and well being of the govern ment. If there is anything that will make an anarchist out of a farmer it is for him to learn that some mort gage company is borrowing money at per cent and loaning it to him for s per cent, or that his brother farmer in Europe is borrowing money at 4 per cent while he must pay S per cent in America."

The Ontario National Bank Fruitgrowers Meeting The Ontario branch of the Oregon -Idaho Fruitgrowers Association held a director's meeting last week. Only something like one-half of the apples have been sold up to this time, yet the directors voted to pay for the boxes and twenty cents per box on the ap ing rum, etc. are handled by the druir Pc- Thl cwer th of P"" stores. The tobacco and liquor stamps and a little besides which will go t" will he handled, hereafter, by the wholesale houses. Thi. tax is not as heavy as the previous war tax and the stamps i an be used mm h more ex peditiously. It is receiving much fav orable comment on thi:. account. The new war revenue stamps are now in uae in Ontario, up to this time, over two hundred dollars worth have been sold. These stamps are of four different types. The documentary stamps, which are for use on deeds, notes, etc., are sold by the banks. The proprietary stamps, which are levied on a portion of the luxuries, such as permues, cosmetics, dentifrices, chew- wards paying for the cost of raising. This shows the value of co-operation, since the independent growers up to this time have not had much success in disposing of their crop. t MeHM ? M "eWlPB 111" I !
