He has Hcon whoat lnnrt which hnd hcon Rapped of Its strensth by tho continual grind of the wheat crop, and summer fallow recuperated and mado to produce two and three fold In changing tho crops and adding something to tho soil, instead of tak ing everything from It. Ho congratulated the farmers of Umntllln county on having such Btrong, vigorous Boll, and was glad to know that, tho wheat yield hnd held up to n high standard, despite tho constant reduction of tho soil forces by straight whoat raising. But he warned thorn to bewnro of the future. The day was coming when even na ture will robol against the thoughtless methods that tako everything away and add nothing to the land. C. L. Smith Speaks. Professor C. h. Smith, editor of the Inland Farmer, of-Spokane, and a lec turer hi tho employ of the state of Washington, In tho Institute work, spoko briefly In tho forenoon on tho need of agricultural education In the 1 West. Ho said ho had been In the In I Btituto work for over 30 years and had seen the revolution of many dllT oront farming sections In tho West. Bverywhoro ho had encountered tho 'same apathv among tho farming com I munition. They wcro loath to change I their methods. He caused a ripple of applause by saying in emphatic tones that the trouble with too many farmers is that they know too much that Ib not true, and not enough that is true. Tlioy refuso to bo benefited by study I and oxporlonco. Ho estimated that one-half tho cn ' orgy used on farms today is wasted, that If better methods wore followed, If crops that wero adapted to certain I kinds of soli wero selected and grown, I that tho income from labor and ener gy would bo doubled. Farmers allow onough valuable property and crops to go to waste each year to make a handsome profit. Ho cited an instance of a cattleman In Washington who turned out 800 head of cattle in the lunos and dry foothills aud permitted tho entire herd to wander for days without food, while the same farmer had Idle land producing nothing. Ho was suffering a double loss by per mitting tho stock to dlo and depreci ate and by allowing tho land to lie Idle. Ho urged more thoughtful, earnest study among land owners, with a view to conserving tho forces of the land for tho future. Ho closed by telling a story of tho old Irishman, who had mado "dollars by thinking where ho had not mado clnts, by hard work." Tho Pendleton band furnished mu sic for the forenoon and afternoon sessions. Numerous questions wero asked by farmers in tho nudienco, and while tho attendance was rcry small for tho banner wheat county In tho statu of Oregon, tho interest was suf ficient to warrant tho effort. Tho O. It. & N, company and tho Pendleton Commercial Association aro to be congratulated for tho part thoy took in preparing for the meet ing and furnishing tho speakers froo of nil ohargo to tho farmors. s GLOS E POITT ARTHUR They Capture Kin Chow, a Fortified Outlying Town of Great Importance.

The press committee .of tho local option causa has prepared tho follow ing circular letter which Is being widely distributed throughout the county: "What Is Local Option?" Many people ask what is this local option issue now pending? Let it be understood that it Is not prohibition. It will not close a saloon. It is abso lutely protective and not prohibitive. It Is not a partisan bill. You can vote for it and be loyal to your regular party ticket. Option means choice. Local option Is local self-government It is homo rule. By voting for it you are not voting for or against the saloon, but you nro voting to givo tlio peoplo of each locality, If they so desire, the right of choosing for themselves what they shall have; saloon or no saloon. Is not that fair? Why Vote It? Because there Is every reason for and no reason against. No one hav lrg "a clear conception of tho genius of American Institutions can consis tently oppose it or fall to vote for It. It concedes tho right of tho majori ty to rule. Tho power Is taken out of the hands of councils or county co'nmlssioners nnd placed exclusively In the hands or the peoplo. It is in accordance with the Initiative and referendum law as declared by a ma jority of the voters. It takes the liquor problem out of politics by making It a non-partisan issue. Kvery consistent democrat will vote for It, because he believes In tho rights of the sovereign )eoplo to have a voice In governmental affairs. He emuhaslzcs state and local rights Kvery consistent republican will vote for it, because he bolloves In the principle of protection, domestic und local protection ns well as Industrial. Ho Relieves In moral lssues-ln Abra ham Lincoln's Immortal declaration, a government of, for and by tho peo plo. Kvery consistent socialist will voto Tor It, because one or his rundamontal principles is the Initiative ond refer endum law, and this bill Is the first presented under that popular law in our stato. No saloonkeeper or liquor dealer or gambler or those in sympathy with tho same can conscientiously voto against it without forfeiting their claim to boiler In personal liberty and personal rights. Local option appeals to every American Ictlzen ns n "basic princi ple of American government." Would It not ho nn un-American Will Prospect There, and Possibly In vest and Locate. John Schoeder, of this place, and William Kupers, of Warren, left this morning for Lewlston, where thoy will look over tho country with a view to locating there.
