THURSDAY Jan. 9, 1908 T. T. GEER IS A CANDIDATE CONGRESSMAN FOR strong Ex-Governor T. T. Geer, edi tor of the Pendleton Tribune, liasv announced his . candidacy for the Reunbhcan nomination for Coneress from I he Second District of Oregon. In annonn cincr his candidacy, be declares himself in heart' accord with the policies of the Roosevelt administration, and a firm be liever in a permanent and liber al system of rivers and harbor improvement, which he consid ers of paramount importance to the interests of his district. "While supporting the protec tive tariff, along with other fundamental .principles of the jRermblican warty, Mr. Geer declares for the immediate revision of our present tariff schedule in some particulars. Mr. Geer will be a candidate for the Republican nomination before the primaries next Strii)r. and if the vote is not split up hy a multiplicity of candidates', as was the casein the last primary, the race be tween him and the present in cumbent, judge "W. R. Ellis" ol Pendleton, who has also au 1 nonuced his candidacy, will be an interesting one. Mr. Geer Las a record in this state as a' "vote-getter." In TS98 he was. nominated for Governor by' acclamation, and was elected in the June election by a large, vote, over W. R. King,, the: Democratic-fusion candidate. In 1902 he caused his name to. "be placed upon the ballot as the Republican candidate for j. United States Senator 45,000 votes against 31,000 C. E.S.Wood, the Democratic candidate. The legislature re fused however, to ratify the popular choice as expressed in' the June election, electing Hon. C.W.Fulton. In the primary .1 i 1. r election in 1906. Mr. Geer was a candidate for the t Republican nomination for Governor, and received the second highest vote, Dr. Withycombe, the successful candidate, defeating, ,him for the nomination by only 263 votes.. Should Mr. Geer' show the same strength in the Diimaries this vear, in the; second district counties, lie will be a very formidable candidate for the nomination for Cdngress.' " W I!

Dry stood farming is little under- and vet hundreds of farmers in N eastern Oregon counties practice it unconscious ly. Dry farming simply means deep plowing and frequent cul-! tivation. It .simply means working land in a systematic manner to get beet results. It means cultivation, care, good judgment, husbanding of the forces in the soil, holding the moisture and pulverizing the clod. There is no mystery, no abstruse scientific problem in it. It is the plain every-day pro gram practiced every year in 'the western and northwestern portion of Umatilla county by which the once barren soil has buen made productive; by which the desert has been reclaimed; by which poor men have been converted into wheal kings.
