-A Baker evening paper a raw day a
aao Dubllahad an Interview with An
drew Lund, a large-real aetata holder
In tha North Powder valley. In which
ha stated that be waa under negotia
tions with tha Armoura for tha Bale
of a large tract of land. Another North
Powder bualneea man denied that a eent
of money had bean put up for an option
and said tha man repreaanttng hlmaelf
to ba Armour had never been back to
North Powder, although ha promiaed on
tha oooaalon of his visit to return la
a faw day. , ,
: Business man of this city are not in
ellned to give tha atory any credit at
all. it Ming the conoenaua of opinion
that If tha Armours locate a plant of
that sis In Oregon, Portland la tha
logical place. The fact that the Lund
loa Plant has bean aold to the Pacific
JYnlt company is regarded by some aa
indicating that a plant will be built, but
there is no proof whatsoever.

i Baker Auto Club Is Formed.
f Baker, Or., June . Automobile own
ers of this city have formed tha Baker
Auto club, the prime object of which
organisation will be boosting for good
roads for Oregon In general and eastern
Oregn In particular. The club haa or
ganised with a membership of over
nunarea, ana the pun is .to begin a
membership campaign that will Include
not only the ownersof motor vehicles
in tne city nut in saxer county aa a
whole. Numeroua ranchera of 'eastern
Oregon are owners of motor vtytlcles,
snd It Is hoped that the .organisation of
such a club will be a great, factor In
the good roads movement George B.
Small, of the Bowen-Smsll Publishing
company, punnaners or the Dally Horn
ing Democrat and the Weekly Bedrock
Democrat and an enthusiast for good
roada and motor cars, was elected pres
ident of the new club, '
GILLIAM NEEDS RAIN;
;. CROPS ARE IH DANGER
' "Rain would be welcome In OIHlam
county just ..now," aald J. B. Estss, a
builder and contractor of Condon, who Is
in Portland attending tha Roaa Festival
"And wa ahotild have a good drenching
downpour before , many days or our
wheat crop will suffer. " ' i - ?
'The precipitation this year haa been
light up our way," Mr. Estes explained.
"and several Inches of rain at this time
would not give us more tnan our snare.
Usually we have a good downpour about
this time of tha year and our farmers
are anxiously awaiting tha appearance
of, the clouds." .; ''
Mr. Eatas believes with many that the
big wheat farm a of eaatern : Oregon
should be out Into smaller tracts, farms
of 110 acres or oven less, so that aoll
could be tilled mors Intensively than un
der axlattng conditions, with farms of
such Immense area that one" has to
drive miles and miles from one farm
house' to the next -'j 1 - ,' ';,'
"I noticed in The Journal the other
day that. N. Teal addreaaed a number
of representative bualness men of Port
land at the Commercial club on the
neceaaity of doing eomethlng to farther
the development of the aetern Oregon
countlea, particularly Gilliam, Morrow
and Sherman. 1. fully agree with his
views, f Mr. Teal see ma to have reached
a very thorough undemanding of tha
altuatlon and his sugf estlons I think are
excellent . -' ' -'
. "Aa he stated, tbs farms are so far
from each other that there la no object
In having schools for It would bs Impos
sible for children to travel the diatancs.
With farme five miles or more apart
the Ufa In tha country naturally beoomee
monotonoua and little wonder It la that
Battlers hesltats before; locating where
such conditions prevail. . ' ,
"And again aa Mr, Teal stated large
crops could be harvested yearly I be
lieve, if the .ground be plowed deeper
and made to retain tbe moiaturs to a
larger degree than by the method now
employed. . . :,." . . , ' ''
"The development' of eastern Oregon
will mean a great deal commercially to
Portland and to the whole atate . for
even with the methods now .employed
the Condon district grows whsat crops
oocssionally that bring millions of dol
lars from foreign lands. ;
"I believe that the majority of land
owners In our district will ba pteaaed to
aaslat In the proposed movement
towards cutting up tbe large holdings so
thst ths soli csn bs msde more pro
ductive. We realse fully the need of a
larger country population and by cutting
up the farms will ba ope way of solving
ths problem confronting us.
