Same Trains Have Been Highly
Successful In Eastern WaslUngton
This Year.
Through the persistent efforts of
Pendleton Commercial association,
eastern Oregon counties are to enjoy
the benefits of a farmers' demonstra
tion train, over the O. R. & N. such
as have been running this spring
through the' eastern Washington
counties.
The East Oregonlan has received
from General Freight Agent R. B.
Miller of the O. R. & X., the itinerary
of the train, Its dates, stopping places
and program and today C. F. Van De
Water and A. A. Morse of the O. R.
N. freight department arrived In
the city from Walla Walla to make
definite arrangemnts for the meet
ing in this city and to advertise the
rain throughout eastern Oregon.
Tlie train will be run through Uma
tilla, Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam
counties, remaining over night in this
city o W'ednefcJay night. May 13.
The objects of the demonstrations
are to encourage farmers tn advanc-
d .methods of farming, which will
add to the productiveness of the soil
make land more valuable, increase
country settlement, build up the
towns and furnish homes for more
people in the farming sections.
J"he trains have been highly suc
cessful in eastern Washington and
several thousand farmers attended the
meetings. It is hoped that the far
mers of eastern Oregon respond as
well to the meetings as did those of
the Palouse country.
The fallowing letter has been re-
eived by Pendleton Commercial as.
