Trip Enjoyed as Steward
SILVERTONT, August 14 Ron
ald Hubbs arrived at Brussels on
August , i, aiiec an . interesting
trip ' from Han Fran'ciscov from
where he left June 25. according
to cable and messages received
here by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
peorge Hubbs.
j vMr, j .Hubbs t worked his way
across as -assistant steward on
the A deck, of the San JTaaclsco,
one of the largest passenger and
cargo boats going out .'rpm San
Francisco, It is a German boat on
the Hamberg-American line, aid
Hubbs was said to be one' of the
first American boys, to have em
ployment on this line.
Talks Spanish Readily
He writes that he found the
trip through the Central Amer
ican coffee country particularly
interesting as he had z the oppor
tunity to go oft the boat when it
docked to load the coffee. He
expressed considerable surprise
that he wag able to converse with
the natives in Spanish.
Hubbs landed at Antwerp la
dairy cow pasture, and stated
that one acre under irrigation
would carry three and seven-
tenths cows for six months. Mr. j
Beck pointed out that a number'
of berry crops for cannery use
are bettered by irrigation.
Dinner at Bheridaa
Following dinner which was
had in Sheridan, the tour con
tinued into the Mill creek dis
trict, where the John Vincent
and C. W. Barnstetter farms
were visited. Plans tor leveling
and preparing for flood irriga
tion were almost complete on
both places. Water Is diverted
by a ditch from Mill creek. Mr.
Barnstetter expects to develop
30 acres and Mr. Vincent six
acres. ,
From point of interest and at
tendance, Mr. Beck states that
this has been one ot the most
successful tours he has pro
moted. Three automobile loads
irom aiarion county were pres
ent, where Interest is being
awakened In the possibilities of
Irrigation.
A number of farmers with
land along the Lucklamute river
have asked Mr. Beck to work
oat some plans tor them where
there Is much land suitable for
irrigation and a good volume of
water available.

Some one burning down a" bee

woods on T. S. Slatum's farm.
Clifton Clemens sad Guy Allen

serious damage was done. -
It was fortunate Mr. Clemens
saw the smoke.: from where he
was at work in the park.
If the beaver dam land had
taken fire the loss would have
been great This peat land will ,
bum for months and Is worthless
afterward.
It is not a Joke that Lake La-.
Wsh gets on fire sometimes. This
land is considered worth 'from '
S1000 to 31S00 an acre.
Some years ago on tho govern- -ment
