Railroad Agriculturist Says

Harvesting operation! in many parts
of the state Indicate that yields of
train will be heavier than was antici
pated, according- to C. I Smith, agri
culturist of the O.-W. R. & N. com
pany, who has Just returned from a
trip over the Eastern Oregon and
Washington farms in the district trib
utary to the railroad.
"It often happens that the yield Is
overestimated In advance of the har
vest," said Mr. Smith today. "It Is
different In most places now, the last
few Jays of the ripening season evi
dently putting more weight Into the
kernel than usual."
tar. Smith said the farmers are com
ing to appreciate more than ever the
value of corn and in most Instances
those who obtained seed from the rail
road company are seeing a good growth
in their fields. Farmers who pur
chased unaccllmated seed are not hav
ing such good success, Mr. Smith ob
served, .though even ''this will prove
valuable for silage.
The agriculturist does not grow
corn from Argentina and Manchuria.
"I'm not much of a politician, but
It looks as if there Is as muoh, politics
as business in bringing this foreign
grain to the United States," he said.
"Even if corn were Imported by
wholesale, it would affect only the ter
minal markets. We in Oregon are not
trying to raise corn for market only
for the feeding of stock on the farm.
Our farmers couldn't afford to buy
this foreign corn for feed, any more
than they can afford to buy corn from
the middle western states. So, what
ever luwiuiit:aA uuuo m a
forced in the terminal markets by
these importations, they will not
affect the farmer of the Inland Em
pire, who is concerned only in growing
this feed In his own fields."

Borah, of Idaho, and Burton of Ohio,
get protests against their "pork bar

Columbia basin but from all parts of
the United States where improvement
projects are not. rpork" but are legiti
mate and necessary.
On the Ohio river, for instance, there

Insure year-round transportation from
Pittsburg to Cairo. Anticipation or
the project's completion has awakened
hope that by such means river traffic
will again come into its own. now
the Ohio, and especially : the upper
river, are almost deserted by steamers.

of the most profitable of the boats jot
other days sank during an ice Jam;
was towed to shallow water and the
hull bleaches there today, for trouble
was not taken to float her again.
Cause for such condition is low
water in summer and unrestrainable
winter and spring floods and' with
locks and dams It has been hoped that
distribution of drainage would . be
equalised. That the work may not
Stop, the Cincinnati chamber of com
merce wired Senator Burton: "We
urge you to use your influence toward
the early passage of the rivers and
harbors bill, or an emergency bill pro
viding sufficient appropriation to have
this work continued."
The Dies, sounds much like that
which the Forts of Columbia commit
tee has asked shall be addressed tc
Senator Borah and the other senators
and representatives from Columbia
basin states: "Urge the quick pas sag
of the rivers and harbors bill without
further delay so that the improve

Reasons crowd one another for. urg
ing promptness lit congress appropria
tion for the north-Jetty.
If this congress should fall to ap
propriate funds for the work " there
would have to be a wait of two years
until another congress convened. The
Jetty has been pushed Out against the
Pacific ocean from the vicinity of
North Head where wave action is se
vere and the uncompleted work would
greatly suffer.
Meantime the great utility which Is
expected to revolutionise ocean com
merce is nearing completion and the
great anxiety to have the ports of tha
Columbia ready for Panama canal bus
iness adds to the urge in favor of
prompt action In making the appro
priation.
Likewise, shippers, not . only those
of the present, but those who expect to
send a current of grain out of the
wheat districts west of the Rockies
both in Canada-and the United States,
want the work continued, because they
expect to be able to ship at a saving
of several cents on the bushel, break
ing bulk but once after the first koad
lng at the mouth of the river when.
by present routes, two transfers are
made, more rail haul la Involved, and
winter movements are handicapped by
bad weather.

"t cost the government apporxi-
mately $10 Oeach for the 400 members
of the Oregon and Washington naval
militia sent on the cruise to Honolulu
on the Milwaukee, and so far as train
ing the men is concerned, the money
was practically wasted," declared F.
g seggesBg; , . -
C. Jackson, who accompanied the Or
egon boys, and returned borne yester
day: "The cost, not including de
preciation and Interest on the Invest
ment in the ship and ' equipment,
amounted to something over $40,000
for the trip."
Mr. Jackson points out that the Mil
waukee burned about 2500 tons of coal
on the trip, at a cost running be
tween 920,000 and SS,S00. There were
on 'board 725 men, to feed whom it
cost approximately $6000. The S27
regular marines received about $10.-
000 in wages, while the payroll for
the officers during the "trip amounted
to about $2000.
Total About f 46,000.
Ammunition and target practice, re
pairs and towing, it is estimated, cost
about $4000. These .figures run the
actual cost of the cruise up to ap
proximately $4l,0d0. - The trip cov
ered 22 days.
The matter of cost probably would
not be given so much consideration
if the militiamen had obtained the de
sired and expected training while on
the trip. The sole purpose of the trip
was to give the men opportunity for
training in actual service at sea, but
Mr. Jackson says that the men in the
engine room were practically the only
ones who received beneficial experi
ence. This result of the trip he attributes
to conflict between the officers of
the three organizations on board the
vessel and lack of initiative on some
one's part. On board were the offi
cers of the regulars, of the Washing-
ton naval militia and of the Oregon -naval
militia. With three sets of of-
ncera, me result was that noooay

there was much . confusion.
Wo Fire or Boat Drills.

no ping-pang target practice. While

of work driving the ship ahead to cov
er wB aisiance m tne time allowed. -the
rest of the men spent much of
their time lounging on deck. They
became tired and dissatisfied.
Shorter trips on smaller boats, wltV
but a single organisation on board,
so there will be more time for drills ,
and someone responsible for seeing ,
that the men are given . the desired
training is Mr. Jackson's suggestion ' '
for getting more nearly full value
for the money the government Is will-
lng to spend in developing an effi
clent naval militia.
