8 CORN SHOW WII1S FARMERS' HEARTS Mr. Smith Besieged by Ques tioners and Addresses Are Heart-to-Heart Talks. ARGUMENT IS CONVINCING .Demonstrations Make Many Con verts and Family of Producers Will Be Enlarged While Grow ers Hope to Improve Yields. BT ADDISON BENNETT. "WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 28. CSoeciaL) All day there has been a tream of visitors pouring in and out of the O.-W. R. & N. Corn Show, which closed its three days seBsion tonight. All of the visitors came to learn and went away well satisfied with the in formation they had gleaned either from the exhibits themselves or from the "talks" of Farmer Smith. I use the word "talks" advisedly. He was sched uled to lecture both afternoon and evening, but the farmers gathered around him. plied him with questions. told him their troubles, aired their doubts and went forth determined to raise more and better corn that Is, those who already have tried it. Those who had not, went away determined that next year they also would belong to the family, the great, growing, glo rious family of corn growers. "I came here." remarked an Intelli gent-looking farmer who lives in the Touchet Valley, "to hear these scientists tell us farmers how to farm, particu larly how to raise corn, and behold. here I was entertained by tne plainest, simplest, most logical talk I ever lis tened to by a plain farmer man like myself Farmer Smith and he has not . only won my heart, but has converted me into a would-be and by the eternal a will-be, corn-grower. Informality la Feature. That is about a fair sample of the way the audiences felt about the mat ter. So they surrounded Farmer Smith and his lectures reached into hours in stead of minutes. The O.-W. R. & N. officials are loud in their expressions of thankfulness ti the people of this lovely city for cour tesies extended, more particularly to Mayor Gillis, who has been insistent and persistent that everything, even to the freedom of the city, should be given the corn show promoters. There have been a thousand or more queries put to Farmer Smith like this: Will you hold a corn show next year? Event to Be Annual. In answer to this the railroad offi cials say it is the present intention to make it an annual event. Where it will be held is another matter. The Walla Walla people want it held here. and really this seems the logical place. If it comes here next year It will more than likely thereafter be a fixed Walla walla event, one that will grow with the years and throw most of the other Korthwestern shows in. the shade and It ought to, for it means more than even the great fairs to the people more than anything else In the way of an educational event to the landowners. One 'of the regrets is that President Farrell, of the O.-W. R. & K. Company, did not get here to witness a show in which he has been so deeply interested. He fully expected to spend today here, but at the last moment found it impos sible to be present. Traffic Manager Miller, General Freight Agent Lownsdale and General Passenger Agent McMurray nave been here to do all in their power to make the show the great success It has proved to be. MEXICAN POLICY SCORED Chicago Educator, Democrat, Criti cises Wilson's Attitude. MONMOUTH. Or.. Nov. 28. (Special.) Dr. Frederick Starr, of the Universi ty of Chicago, who spoke to the stU' dents of the Oregon Normal School and the citizens of Monmouth on "The Mex ico of Today," said the policy of Presi dent Wilson in the Mexican situation had been a mistake from the beginning. The professor said that he was an ar dent Democrat. He asserted: I have made 14 trips to Mexico during the past 11 years, and not until Huerta took the Presidency were the inhabitants of Mexico commencing to be satisfied with the gov ernment. From the beginning, there was dissatisfaction with the administration of ladero. The Indians In the northern regions of Mexico were against him. It was three days after Madero had been murderad that Huerta learned . of the murder. The latter was In no way connected with the plot. Huerta became President of Mexico con stitutionally, and the factions in the country were reaching the point where they would he satisfied with the rule of Huerta. Had the factions been allowed to fight out their troubles, the Mexican question would soon have reached an end: and Huerta still would have been President. But the United States sent the fleet to Vera Cruz and took a step that it had no right to take. ROAD TO 0PEN HARNEY Oregon Eastern to Give "Granary of West" Transportation Facilities. VALE.

Burlap was wrapped around the front of the safe and placed on the floor to deaden the fall of the pieces after the explo sion. Neither the safe nor the inner cash box was locked, but the force of the explosion must have locked the latter, for it was not entered. In addition to $10 in cash the robbers took a number of checks. It has been the policy or Station Agent Toby not to leave much cash in the safe over night, and also to leave it unlocked in order to forestall rob bers. The Inner cash box contained valuable papers but no cash.

OWYHEE PROJECT VITAL Redemption of 20,000 Acres of Good Agricultural Land Impor tant Oost Placed at Low Fig ure Financing Next 3ove. Malheur County probably will ask the next Legislature for assistance In de- eloping some of its irrigation projects. says J. R. Blackaby, president of the First National Bank of Ontario and vice-president of the Oregon Irrigation Congress, who was in Portland on busi ness yesterday. Mr. Blackaby reports that Malheur will send a big delegation to the forth coming session of the Irrigation Con gress in Portland. A definite pro gramme of legislation in which Malheur County is directly interested probably wiu be prepared at a meeting of dele gates from that county preliminary to the main convention of irrlgationists on January 7, 8 and 9. It is conceded that the peoDle of Ontario, as well as those in other parts or eastern Oregon, will ask the next Irrigation Congress for recommenda tions favoring development of the Owyhee project in Malheur County. Owyhee Project Feasible. The Owyhee project has been under Investigation by state and Federal au thorities for many years. It has been pronounced one of the most feasible in the West. It la intended to redeem more than 20.000 acres of good agricul tural land that now is only partially productive for dry farming purposes. rne plan provides for tapping the waters of the Owyhee River about 30 miles from the City of Ontario and building a ditch nearly 30 miles in length to a contact with the objective acreage. The probable cost, it is pointed out. will be comparatively light. Previous cessions of the Irrigation Congress have recognized the feasibility or this enterprise, but a means of financing it has not yet been presented. It is probable that the Malheur people will ask the Irrigation Congress to peti tion the Legislature for an appropria tion or a bond issue. In that event an active campaign for such a measure will be conducted before the Legisla ture. Irrigation Need Great. Mr. Blackaby points out that the need of irrigation in the extreme east- J.ern part of the state la urgent, He de CO' .crrof" lor' -t,c.-- r."- After that Never Again clares further that in no place in the country, has irrigation been more suc cessful than in Malheur County. Scores of private irrigation enterprises now are operating with good results over there, he says. More than 30.000 acres In the Immediate vicinity of Ontario are watered in this manner now. All kinds of agricultural and horticultural crops are produced. "Malheur County is the premier corn county of Oregon," says Mr. Blackaby. "We had a corn show at Ontario this year that showed wondrous works. Our best representative acre produced 121 hi bushels. While that seems high, con sidering that the average yield of corn an acre in the United States is only 23 bushels, we had 38 exhibitors who produced an average of more than 83 bushels to the acre. We ship three or four carloads of hogs from Ontario to the Portland market every week. Most of this - stock is matured on Malheur County alfalfa. These hogs are making some of our farmers rich." Mr. Blackaby will be in Portland for several days. WAYFARERS' INN POPULAR Place Opened! tjy Vancouver Minis ters Houses 50 Men Oat of Work. VANCOUVER. Wash, Nov. 29. (Spe cial.) The Wayfarers' Inn at Third and Main streets, opened Thanksgiving by the Vancouver Ministerial Association and fraternal organizations of the city, and supported to a certain extent by the city, has proved unusually popular without any form of advertising, and last night the capacity of the place was taxed to give beds for 50 worthy men, nearly all of whom would be willing to work If able to find a job. The building has been donated for use by Owen Mulligan, a retired capital 1st, and numerous persons have given blankets, bedding, supplies and some money.

Xorth Pier Fonndatloa With Diameter of 35 Feet la SO Feet Deep Water Traffic Passage Is 40O Feet. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Nov. 28. (Spe cial.) The Willamette-Pacific bridge that is to span Coos Bay is assuming an appearance of fast construction and the six preliminary caissons are pre pared for the concrete work which was commenced November 23. The Immense amount of work necessary before any material showing could be made ac counts for the lack of impression the structure makes on an observer. As an example of the scope, it is ex plained best in a description of what was necessary for the foundation for the north pier, one of the two from which the bridge will swing. Workmen drove piling for this foundation to a depth of 90 feet and completely filled a circle 75 feet in diameter. The muck, sand and earth waa excavated below the bottom of the bay to a depth of 20 feet. This was then filled with con crete, and another 25 feet of the pier stands above the bottom of the bay at a height of the highest tide. The pier will be continued above high water to a height of 15 feet, making the con crete pier one of 35 feet in diameter and 60 feet from top to bottom. The part of the bridge to be swung from this pier will open a 200-foot space in the channel and the same sized pier and swing will be construct ed south of the channel, giving a pass age for traffic of 400 feet.
