This organization made the occasion of the visit of F. A. Sikes state organizer of Milton, a grand rally and the members with their families were in attendance to the number of about 200. The forenoon session was a closed business meeting, at which matters of importance to the organization were discussed. Among other things the Union pass ed a resolution pledging itself to take up systametic warfare on the noxious weeds upon their own lands, and do all in their power to obtain a rigid enforce- meet of the state weed law. At the noon hour a big basket dinner was served in Sanford's Hall, and the ladies of the Farmers Union did them ... - th. selves proud in the feast that was spread. After the dinner had been cleared away Mr. Sikes made an address, cov ering the main points that have been accomplished by the organization and urging the members to continue to stand together. He emphasized the fact that the Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union .is not endeavoring to eliminate the retailer, but the middle man be twecnthe producer and the retailer who takes the lion's share of the profits simply by manipulations, producing nothing in the way of value nor giving anything in the way of convenience or service for the heavy toll he takes. The rally was full of encouragement for the Union, which, although having hardly as yet tested the strength of co-operative action, has already derived great benefit in bcth financial andsocial ways. irenchmcnt of construction plans for tho year on account of n heavy slump in the money markets and especially in railroad stocks. rrt. ;.. i j. t .. ' hub cnange oi pian win niicct many private parties who have already gone into the country south of Bend, bought property and built buildings with a view to going into business at conven ient points to draw the trade from the construction camps. The suggestion is made that the con tracts nave been postponed on account of the fear of diverting labor from the work now under way in Deschutes can yon, but men in position to know sav they do not believe this argument has any weight at all. Whatever the cause may be, the action, on the face of it is to be regret ted, as it will undoubtedly have a de terrent effect on immigration to the southern part of the county and conse quently retard its developments.

All of the grading contracts on the Oregon Trunk Line south of Bend have been "laid up," but the work south from Madras to Bend under the Henry contract is to bo completed. The an nouncement has given rise to considea ble speculation as to what may be ex pected concerning the ultimate construc tion of the road, whether it indicates a change of the route from Bend eastward into Harney county or is merely a re- Millinery AND LADIES' HABERDASHERY Mr. Farmer, you'd better pull all that yellow mustard in yout own fields and then get busy and see that your neighbor does likewise, and that the road supervisors destroy it along the county roads. If this damaging plant once gets a good grip on your fields your lands will be practically worthless for farming and the cost of eradicating this pest will be more than the price of good land. Knowing from experience and un doubtable testimony that this is a fact, n seems remaricaDie mat many ranchers will unconcernedly allow this enemy to flourish among their crops and along the county highways without making any protest or effort to put out of existence. That it can be kept out is being dem onstrateu oy progressive ranchers m every neighborhood. On dozens of the ranches of the German homesteaders out southwest of town, their fields wave green and free from even a single spray of the yellow bloom of the destructive mustard weed, Right across the road perhaps a neighbor's field looks like a flower garden. If these plants are allowed to go to seed, there's sure to be a woeful day of reckoning for the owner of that land. " At the meeting of the Farmers' Un ion Tuesday a resolution was passed pledging that organization to co-opera' tive action toward subduing the weed menace, i. l. f axton wno lives near Fishervtlle, is another farmer who earnestly wants the weeds destroyed. But it is unfair for one man, or sev eral, to destroy the mustard and other weeds on their ranches, while their neighbor's fields and the county roads are full of them which are allowed to go to seen. tJirds, winds, livestock and wagon wheels scatter the seed again and next year the labor on the clean lands has to be done over. There's where the state weed law comes in, and if the members of the Farmers' Union, together with such other farmers as want to put an end to the weed pest will combine and de mand the enforcement of the law, they can undoubtedly get tho desired relief. There are always those, who. unless they are compelled to destroy the npx ious weeds, won't do it. The proper remedy is the enforcement of the law. Those who "haven't time" to get rid ot the weeds ought to follow the ex ample of Bert Dumbrowe, while he lived on his homestead. He went out into his fields in the night with a lan tern and pulled the mustard plants from among his wheat.
