STARTS TEN-YHR BUHLE FOR BETTf.ll MIS METHDOS The Oregon Daily Journal says of the vigorous campaign for better farming methods and increased pro duction started by the O. R. & N. com pany in eastern Oregon: A 10-year campaign has been enter ed upon by the O. R. & X. company by which it is declared that the pro ductiveness of eastern Oregon and the inland empire can be trebled and live stock grazing converted Into a fat stock industry on an enormous scale. It is declared that Oregon can be add ed to the corn belt, and will success fully produce the cereal that is the staple stock fattener of the middle west. The complete success of the O. R. & X. company's preliminary campaign for diversified farming in the terri tory tributary to its lines has decided the company to continue the work. Other demonstration trains will be run in the future, and the most ad vanced and scientific Ideas will be ap plied to the movement. Develop Livestock Industry. "Vt'e believe that as to agricultural products the map of eastern Oregon and Washington will be made over during the next few years, as a result of the work that we have undertaken said R. B. Miller, general freight agent. "It is possible to put eastern Oregon that Orego nwill produce corn and va- that Oregon wll lproduce corn and va rious other crops in great abundance, and that the livestock proportions, by following out the lines of diversified farming advocated by the Oregon Ag ricultural experiment station. "Where vast wheat farms now oc cupy the territory, and one-half of these lands are idle every alternate year, general farm' products can be raised and the lands used every year with actual benefit to every acre so used. The result will be that while wheat raising will continue to be enormously successful, other crops will come in for their share of atten tion, as In the states of the middle west, and there will be plenty of all kinds of feed for livestock. "Another thing It will be found that wheat fed to pigs will be highly profitable, and will produce the finest flavored pork in the world. There can be vast crops of field peas and clover produced every other year on the wheat lands, and with corn as an important crop the eastern part of Oregon can be converted successfully to the livestock business on a large scale." Shipping Hogs From the Kant, It Is said the packing houses at present in the Pacific northwest are importing a large majority of their hogs from the middle west, and that these hogs can be with profit produc ed in Oregon. The packing house at Walla Walla, for example, secures only 15 per cent of its hogs from' the eastern Washington region, and ships most of Its raw material from the east. The big packers are building the Pacific coast's greatest packing center at Portland, and will require a vast number of hogs, cattle and sheep. The regions east of the Cascades must turn to the livestock business If these packing houses are to be supplied with sufficient livestock to keep them going. ine aeciarauon tjr so eminent a traffic authority as R. B. Miller that eastern Oregon can be made a part of the American corn belt will occasion 'Considerable surprise among old fashioned farmers. Mr. Miller is in deadly earnest in his statement, and means to demonstrate Its practicability during the next few years. The O. R. Sc. N. company is already planning a campaign for next fall. It will Im prove Its program for demonstration trains, carrying lecturers and equip ment for slio.vliig the farmers the most successful methods of diversi fied farming. Time for Questions. In the recent demonstrations the train was permitted to stop only one hour at each point. Next fall the trains will make two-hour stops at each point, and allow time for ques tions and discussions by the assembled farmers. The hearty co-operation of the professors from the Oregon Agri cultural college has been assured and the company will not spare money nor effort to accomplish a complete re versal of present day farm methods in the Inland empire. It is believed that Oregon cannot only be made to maintain Its preeminence as a wheat producing empire, but it can make a great success of diversified farming. Wheat farming on a large scale In eastern Oregon, while very successful, has had its serious drawbacks. The farms are so large and the, country so sparsely populated that the problem of securing harvest hands has been a hard one. The new era Is expected to usher In a change that will Im prove conditions. When It Is demonstrated that every acre of a 500-acre farm can be used every year, and its productive capac ity more than doubled, the farmer will find that he has all he can do to farm one-half of that acreage. The lands will rise In value and he will sell off lands for smaller farms, and Increase the number of farmers in the country. The result will be a vast ly greater aggregate crop product. There will be more help In harvest time, because the farmers will seej them going about as Is done In the ( middle west farming regions, helping each other with teams and men to garner the crops. AI1rewl 300 Fanners. On the trip made by the O. R. & N' demonstration train 18 stops were made, and It is estimated that the lecturers were heard by more than 2000 actual farmers, not counting wo men and children. At many places the schools were dismissed and the children were brought by their teach ers to hear the lectures. At Weston the normal schood attended in a body, At every point crowds of farmers were waiting the. arrival of the train, They gave earnest attention to the lecturers and showed every evidence of being deeply interested In the doc trines advocated. There was no dis position shown to discredit the im porfance of the movement, but on the contrary the attitude of the farmers 1.4 one of co-operation in any plan that will improve their farms, populate and better their state. skirted and they decided to make a run for it. It neded two jumps to cross, but the machine made only one, und settled to a soft bed In the oozy bottom. Four horses were secured to tow the "flyer" to town. Mr. Inman was soaked to the skin and bought a $14 suit at a country store. He got In a rain with it the next day, and when he reached Portland It had shrunk until the coat sleeves and the bottons of the trousers ap peared to be in a race to reach his waist-line.

CAN'T BE SEPARATED. Sonio Pendleton People Have Learn ed Ilow to Get Hid of Both. Backache and kidney ache are twin brothers. You can't separate them. And you can't get rid of the bach ache until you cure the kidney ache. If the kidneys are well and strong, the rest of the system is pretty sure to be In vigorous health. Doan's Kidney Pills make strong, healthy kidneys. B. Logadon, living at 1223 Y street, T.a Grande, Ore., says: "I have been subject to attacks of kidney troubl and backache for four or five years. The trouble was always severe and became more frequent as time went on, I had pains In my back, head aches nnd the secretions from my kidneys caused me to arise many times during the night. I had heard so much about Donn's Kidney Pills that I decided to try them and pro cured a box. I took them but a short time when the pains disappeared and my kidneys were restored to their former good health. I am glad to recommend Doan's kidney othern." For sale by all dealers, cents.

"Bob" Imnan'g Aixo Landed In Mid dle of Yamliill Mudhole. One familiar sight has been missing from the Portland streets the last week In the shape of R. D. Inman's flyer, whose silvered back can usually be seen scooting around some corner at any time of the any or night, says Portland paper. Of late, however, it has been con spicuous by Its absence, and only yes terday did it leak out that the beast Is humbly housed in a livery stable In North Yamhill. Mr. Inman and Governor Chamber lain struck old Yamhill county last week when the rains were descend ing and the floods coming., When about four miles from the town they faced a mudhole that could not be Hell Company Advances All Prices at BoUe City. Telephone rates have been raised throughout the city by the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company on the grounds that the system in this district Is not much more than mak ing expenses, says the Boise Capital News. The raise has been effective since the latter part of March and patrons whose contracts for the year expired after that date have been required to sign new contracts ut the advanced rate of BO cents. The Independent Telephone people It Is authoritatively stated, were ap proached about that time to make a similar raise In accordance with the raise that .was made by the Bell Tele phone, but this proposition was turn ed down by them, one of the officers stating that they were making enough under the present rates and did not think the people would stand for a raise on account of the financial de pression that had, recently swept over the country. Learning today that the rates are being raised, a representative of the Capital News Interviewed Manager Jones of the Bell Telephone company relative to the present rates. 'Mr. Jones stated that the r;ilse has been In effect since the last of March, the "dollar 'hone" for four party line 'phone being done nway with and the rate raised to 1 1.50 per month, or $18 per year under the new contracts.

Gerry, Jr., manager of the Helena Power Transmission company, has announced that material has been ordered for the construction of the second largest dam In the world, says a Helena dispatch. This will be known as the third dam on the Mis souri river, thirty miles from Helena, When completed, It will not only irri gate thousands of acres of land in this section, but will furnish power for plants In Helena, Butte and Ana conda. By July 1 more than COO men will be employed on the construction work. The immensity of the undertaking Is seen by the fact that 123,000 bar rels of cement will be used. Loaded on cars, this would compose a train nine miles long. One thousand tons of steel will also be used. The pro ject Is backed by Former Governor Samuel T. Hauser and New York capitalists.
