CAUGHT DURING THE HOLIDAYS
The four officials of the Title
Guarantee & Trust Co. of Poit-
laud who have been indicted
for alleged criminal transactions
wnne omcers oicuannscnuiion
have filed motions to dismiss
the criminal charges against
them, one of the grounds for
the motion being: "that the
examination of the witnesses bj'
the District Attorney qn which
the informations are based was
piade during vacation time and
' pn a legal holidaj'." In sup
port of their plea they might
show that the aforesaid holi
days were proclaimed in order
fo avoid embarrassment to the
bankers of the state. The judge
jjould take judicial cognizance
of their embarrassment, and
fhat ought to end the case.

The Trans-Missouri Dry
farming Congress will hold us
Second annual session in Salt
Jjake, January 25 to 2G. Dry
farmiiig holds a place separate
and distinct from irrigation
farming, an4 the Trans-Missou
ri organization s engaged in
pronioting plans for bringing
uprler cultivation vast areas of
land remote from water pourses
and unavailable for irrigation
work, Spientilic soil culture
and the saving of the moisture
which falls in the form of snow
jiave demonstrated that there
ire great possibilities for dry
farming, and the time is coming
n the not far distant future
when reclamation of lands
available for irrigation will
iave reached a point where dry
farming will become a necessity
for those who are no longer
fible to secure good locations
either naturally or artificially
irrigated. $oth Oregon and
Washington have much land
that will some day be devoted
to dry farming, and for that
reason the efforts of the Trans
Missourians will be apprecia

the act of Congress of
Politics in Crook County is
beginning to "warm up" a bit,
and there is considerable dis
cussion of probable candidates
for the important oflices of the

have been few announcements
of martyrs who ' are willing to
sacrifice themselves on the altar
of their county's good. These
announcements will doubtless
be forthcoming in the next few
Weeks in plenty, as regardless
