COUNCIL HOLDS
BUSY SESSION
Matters of Direct Public
Interest Discussed and
Adopted.
, City council met in regular
monthly session at tbe city hall on
Monday evening. Roll call of
officers found Mayor Woodson an
Coancilmen Kirk, W. O. Minor
and Aiken present.
The usual number of bills and
other routine business were dispos
ed of in a hurry and some impor
tant matters requiring considerabl
discussion were taken up.
The proposition of appointing a
fire chief, the organizing of fire
companies and the manner of
awarding said companies for actua
services was discussed at some
length, and was concluded in a mo.
tion by Minor in the following
terms: That the volunteer fire
company getting the first stream
of water on a fire shall be paid
$20; the company getting the 2nd
stream of water on a fire, $10; and
the chief shall receive $10 for each
fire,
That the fire chief be selected by
the volunteer fire companies, Bub-
ject to approval by the council;
that each fire company take care
of and replace their carts and hose;
that the companies be required to
practice at least onca a month. Mo
tion carried.
This action on the part of the
council leaves the matter prac
tically in the hands of the fire com.
panies and it is hoped they will act
on the matter as soon as possible.
Just who will be selected as fire
chief is a matter of conjecture, but
a number of good men for that pos
ition were discussed at the council
meeting, and the trouble will more
than likely develop from getting
someone who will serve rather
than from finding someone who is
capable.
Following the discussion of fire
chief another important matter
was taken up in the matter of eide-
walks. A few months ago the
council made a move toward bet
teriDg the thoroughfares by inform
ing property owners of the poor
condition of sidewalks and instruct
ing them to fix the same. Some
of the citizens who were blessed
with a little local pride. got busy
and repaired the walks and fences,
but others hava either forgotten
the request of the council or have
uot found time to comply with the
request. Those are the people
whom the council have in mind to
touch up a little on the matter and
with that end in view, Marshal Mc
Craw was instructed to act in com
pliance with the ordinance on re
pairing of sidewalks, tic. Those
knowing their walks to be in need
of repair should get them fixed as
soon as possible and save the chief j
of police the embarassment of serv
ing the written notice. Public
pride should be the aggressor in
this movement and not the law.
The matter of constructing good
crosswalks was also brought ujf
It was agreed that the crosswalks
should be built of stone or some
other material of as good wearing
quality. The councilraen present
were appointed as a committea
with power to act in the matter of
choosing materials and construct
ing the walks. The walks to be
laid at present will be placed on
Main street, one leadin g from the
Pastime corner to the building oc
cupied by Phill Oohn; the other
leading from the McNamee corner
to the Groshens corner. If these
walks prove satisfactory there will
be other walks constructed of the
same material.
Conncil man Kirk registered a
complaint about the use of the
Main street sidewalks as cons tine
trails for the small boys. Business
men have been complaining about
this annoyance for some time and
finally made an appeal to the city
fathers for help in the matter.
Mayor Woodson instructed the
marshal to look after the coaBters

gatherings should be prohibited in
these buildings until good escapes

tion of wheat, field peas, bogs, draft
hor8es and poultry will make the Colum
Dia River Basin one of the most pros

- James Withycombe, director of the Agri
cultural Experiment Station at Corv-allis,
at tne Imperial last night
Dr. Withycombe has just returned
froa Moro, Sherman county, where he
passed several days inspecting the work
of the branch experiment station of 225
afires at Point. He is very enthtisi-
astic over the agricultural possibilities
0f the county, provided the-farmers ap-
ply improved methods to tbe cultivation
of their crops. Sherman county, he de-
clared, will produce this year about
1,200,000 bushels of grain, orGOperceut

ed 22.6 bushels an acre, although tbe
8eason was one of the dryest in the bis
tory of the country," said Dr. Withy
combe, discussing the results of the ex
penment station demonstrations at
Moro.
"To show tbe difference in farming
methods, tbe wheal crop in another field
directly across the road from the expe
riment station field was so poor that it
will not be harvested. The failure of
this croo was dne to the ooor system of
farmimr emvloved and failure to con-
serve tbe moisture. The wheat in the
experiment station farm at Moro was the
only wheat I saw in Sherman county
that was long enough to bind.
"The Moro station has590experimen
are included 75 varieties of wheat, corn
sorghum, kaffir corn, and emmer. The
station has a field of black emmer that
promises to yield 35 bushels an acre.
This crop makes splendid feed forswine,
cattie snd horses. There are also 150
acre8 ,-n connection with the station

not yet threshed, a conservative esti
mate fixes the yield of this crop at be-
tween 15 and 20 bushels an acre. Tak-
ing the minimum estimate, this means
a little more than 200 pounds of nork an
acre, worth at tbe present market price,
in. This is acquired without the ex-
penses of harvesting, as the hogs attend
to catbennn the crop and will leave the
iand in be.ter condition for wheat pro-
duction than a bare summer fallow,
"There are splendid opportunities for
'arming in the Columbia River basin
along different lines from those hereto
fore followed. The farmer of that sec
tion should no linger depend wholly on
wheat. While wheat should and alwavs
will be the dominant crop, vet hogs,
Iratt horses and poultry shoul 1 be r.n-
portant factors ia the agriculture of the
section. 1 cm quite sure if the farmers
of Sherman county will take up the line

nues will be double wnat they are now
re-eiving from their l.icd.
"For instance, the horp8 on the 'arm
should be brood mares. Each mare
could raise a first-dnss colt earh rear
and stilt assist in the farm work virtual-;
ly as well as a gelding. This would give
the farmer young horses to sell all the
time and provide an important revenue
for tbe farm. By growing field peas in
rotation with wheat, Sherman county
can be made one of tbe greatest hog
countries in the West. It is a'so an ideal
country for poultry
The poultry oa !
each farm should be made to supply tbe
necessary revenue for bctb the houee
and the family.
"With the proper application of thee
farming methods, there is no reason wliy
the farmers of Sherman countv ahauM
