County Farm Bureau (o Meet
A rvRolulion aikinic Contrrcn to
continue the minimum fruaranU-e on
wheat for another year will be pre-ai-tited
at the County Farm Hurtau
mcctinif in Pendleton tomorrow. A
oiiiiiiitu-c was upooinli-d last Satur
.!ay nt an informal iiiet-titifr of repre-ii-iitiitive
wheat growers to draw up a
ouilution tind priMi-rit it to farm or
(anlzations and coiunu-r'-iul Iw dii s no
wxin ax poiisibli'. It in claimed by
COfd authorities that there is an ab
kohite m-ri-saily for t!ic continuation
of Ihi- i'iiarariU-c in order to stabilise
th" wheat market during the coining
yiur. Atlhou'h indiratioiiH arc tlitt
Mhcat price? nhouM be nxl, withui.l
a minimum fruarantoc farmers who
lire compiled to soil inimejiat.-ly af
ter bancs t will l.ave to take whut the
buyer are willing to jity. With a
widely fluctuating market much !es
irt-ilit can be advanced on the wheat.
There are others who claim that the
quicker the povi rnment RuarariU-e ii
removed so that the fanner can K-arn
t -land on his own ft-ct, the bc-tU-r.
The committee will appear before
the Kami liunau to defend the reso
lution, which will I arued pro and
con by the Icadii'K farmers anu blink
ers of the county. It is very desira
ble that a good, representative crowd
of wheat farmers be present at this
meeting, so that whatever action is
taken can be said to truly represent
the hentiment of the farmers of Uma
tilla county.
Twelve communities have been or
ganized in tiie County Farm Dureau,
with a membership of about 200. A
county program will be adopted and
officers elected at the meeting in
Pendleton tomorrow.
CHINA REFUSES TO
TREAT WITH JAPAN
Washington. China la determined te
submit the fibantunf question to th
lagu of nations for settlement, and
will not consent to entr Into direct
negotiations with Japan regarding the
P'-rmati'-nt atatus of former Carman
holdings la that province. Advice to
this effect have been received here by
autborltlea In close touch with devel
opments In the far east, more especial
ly Shantung.
The Japaneo government has an
nounced ita willingness to proceed
with negotiations looking te the return
of Shantung to China, as provided In
the Versailles treaty. For the last
two inontba Japan has from time to
time approached the Pekln government
with a view to opening negotiations.
China so far baa abown no disposi
tion to begin the dlseusslon. and the
government la said to be strongly sup
ported by Chinese popular opinion.
County Hoad Improvement.
Commi.siiioncr II. K. Anderson in
forms a Pendleton paper that two
more Ill-foot mogul graders will be
added to the county road equipment
before the end of this week. Two
caterpillars and two mogul graders
are already at work on the county
roads. With facilities afforded by
use of the new equipment it will be
possible to smooth off -all graveled unci
dirt roads that have long been in
poor condition. The county court esti
mates the damage done to county
roads during the past winter at $25,-000.
Road dragging is occupying the
attention of numbers of Umatilla
county farmers to greater extent
thon formerly, with the result that
better dirt roads will be afforded for
travel.
Kills Wife and Suicides.
Rufsell Clark, a Portland automo
bile and airplane dealer, who last
week organised the Manchester-Clark
Auto company at Pendleton, shot and
Curt in the Race.
Frank S. Curl, one of the most
prominent republicans in this part of
the Ute, has announced that he will
be a candidate for delegate to the
republican national convention in
Chicago June 8 from the second con
gressional district. His election at
the primaries is regarded as prac
tically assured.
killed his wife at their home near
Gresham, Monday night, and later
committed suicide in a Portland ho
tel. The couple had. spent the week
end in Pendleton. Clark demonstrated
a Curtis plane while in Pendleton and
flew to Walla Walla a couple of times
carrying passengers with him. Sun
day he left Pendleton for Portland by
plane, his wife going later in the day
by train.
Hiked To the County Seat.
As rather ambitious pedestrains.lwo
young ladies of Athena, Miss Murdock
and Miss Hazel llurton, they mutt
be given the palm. Friday morning
these young ladies decided to essay a
small spring hike with Pendleton,
"twenty miles away" as their desti
nation. The start was made about
8 n. m., the entire distance being
traveled by three o'clock in the after
noon. Although being offered num
erous lifts on the way, the intrepid
walkers refused all rides and trium
phantly entered the goal, though in
the words of Harry I-ouder, "Being
very, very tired and wear-r-y." The
return was made an hour lutcr via.
the auto stage.
A movement has been started In
Albauy to ralso $30,000 for tho con
