The Barron Valley Farm Loan Asso ciation was organized October 17, 191G, with headquarters at Fangol lano. It has an appraised value of fG3,110 with many more-applications This was we believe tho first organ ized in Malheur county. H. E. An derson of Medford having been ap pointed inspector by the Spokane bank the 10th of tho month we believe the loan association wilf soon be doing business and prosperity will increase in Barren Valley. Many homesteaders are making fi nal proof and sharing the burden of taxes. Stockmen have suffered quite a loss luo to the long cold winter. The writer is a socialist and paci 1st but was very much disgusted tho other day to hear a couple of Vale republicans condemning President Wilson. The president's administra- ion has been a critical one. He has surely been sincere and devoted to his country and now deserves our unanimous support. The Skuldugery club of Rim Rock hall with Jack McCumsey and Mike Gallagher as poison mixers are dis tributing poison and killing thousands of squirrels and will be ready for the !:ick rabbits next winter.
