Weeks of La Grande, who visited Corvallis friends last week and returned home Friday, is an OAC. graduate who is mak ing practical and profitable use of the education acquired at the Agricultural College. , He is m teiested in dairying, having been connected with the Blue Moun tain Creamery Company of La Grande for the past year. He says: "There is a great future for the dairying business in Eastern Oregon, and much of that coun try is like Western Oragon, nat urally adapted to the business which I represent and have made my life work. I took a course at the State Agricultural College, and our company is handling five plauts. Our head office is at La Grande, and we are operating at Pendleton, Union, Wallowa a'nd Enterprise. Some months in the year we pay out $7000 to $8000 to the farmers, and can sell all that we make at gcod prices. Wallowa county is especially adapted to dairying, as it is a natural alfalfa country, and has plenty cf water. The same is true of parts of Baker, Union and Umatilla. Two of the largcs producers of da rv products are Walter Pierce and Judge Hailey, of Pendleton. "Ti e Grand Ronde country is coming 10 the tro t very fast. There is a great fui ure fo:. dairying in Oregon, anr I would advise any .young -mat who has a tasta in that directio to. get a firsf-classv scientific - and commercial equipment, and tKterr are plenty of positions waiting for him." Burglars Abroad. Burglars were abroad in Cor vallis Friday afternoon and the residence of James Berry was ran sacked from one end to the other. The affair happened about 4: p. vs: while Mrs. Berry wss away from home.- On leaving the house she did not lock the doors, and upon returning the front door stood ajar. Entering the dwel ling, she found that everything had been tborougly over-hauled in the hope of finding valuables, but as vet nothing has been miss ed. l5resser drawers were pulled out and the contents tumbled out on the floor, the beds' were torn up and the mattresses turned back, showing that the prowler had searched carefully in every place where money is- generally supposed to be hidden, and trunks had also been turned upside down in the hunt for plunder. " The officers visited' the place and made a careful investigation, and 'as there is a strong clue as to who did the work, it is very pro bable that the guilty one may meet his just desstrts.
