raid Vol. IV Mo BDLU MM LETTER Portland, Oregon. November --The Tri-County Development League formed at Arling ton the past week, comprising Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam counties, started something that Ami CPS ent benefit to this state when they set on foot a movement for an agricultural expert for each coun ty. Extension of the work of the Oregon Agricultural College to a greater degree throughout the state is desired and a resolution was passed favoring the appoint ment of an agricultural commis sion in each county, composed of the County Judge and two prac tical farmers. It is proposed that this board appoint a county agri culturist who shall visit the far mers, study their problems and help them in every possible way. Part of the expense is to be borne by the state and the remainder by the counties themselves. A committee, headed by President Dukek of the League, was named to work out the details and frame a suitable bill to be presented to the next Legislature. The newly formed Tri-County League will' meet three times a year and a committee was named to arrange for the time and place of holding the fair showing the products of the three counties. Tillman Reuter, wizard of the Central Oregon dry-farming co untry, has won fame for the state by capturing the prize cup for the best exhibit at the recent Dry-Farming Congress at Col orado Springs,.and in addition, won 11 first prizes, 12 second and 3 third prizes. Other Central Oregon ranchmen helped to -win a total of 34 prizes for Oregon. Mr. Reuter has what he consid ers only an average quarter sec tion of land in the Madras dis trict but he has done wonders. He contends that any farmer of intelligence can do likewise. - An interesting program has been arranged for the annual ex hibit of the Oregon Horticultur al Society, November 15-17, Jhich will be held in the Yeon Building, Portland,. Discussion of the many phases of fruit grow ing by experts in their various mes will be big features of the coming meeting, each day having ong attractions. Not only will neory be developed in these talks but the result of 'scientific Practice will be shown in the fine exhibits of apples to be on dis play.

The river is near its lowest stage at present, but is slowly raising. There are three new houses in course of construction at this writing. A. L. Sperling, has a force of men at work upon the new bank Land hotel building. Mrs. E. Shinn spent a few days, recently, visiting her son, who is the S. P, operator at Turner. The gravel train has taken a large amount of the bar away at the ferry landing, making a much deeper landing than heretofore. It keeps the city fathers of In dependence busy these days keep ing the mud off the new pave ment. There is some talk of the city getting a street washer when there is a population of five thou sand. Senior Class Jollification. Taking advantage of the glorious moonlight Saturday evening, the Seniors of the Ore gon Normal and a few invited guests enjoyed one of the ever interesting hay-rack rides. Sing ing class songs and awakening the echoes with class yells, the jolly crowd drove out of Mon mouth and over to Independence, where the streets resounded with "The Jolly Students," "No Land Like Oregon," and various other popular Normal Songs and yells. As proof that they were ap preciated by the people of Inde pendence, the party was shower ed with bags of fruit, candy and nuts, for all of which the Seniors take this opportunity of expres sing their appreciation. After leaving Independence, refresh ments, stories, games, etc., were indulged in by the party until Monmouth was reached when a detour of the city was made and President Ackerman was sere naded by the jolly party, after which all dispersed to their homes voting the evening a howling success.

This course comes to us very highly recom- '"fnuea, ana will without doubt be a valuable addition to the so cial and literary life of the school and community. A Committee of the Commercial Club will wait upon the citizens in the near future so that every one will have an opportunity to subscribe for tickets. Gentlemen Butler, Evenden and Gentle went to Lewisburg last Saturday for the purpose of giving gentlemen Evenden and Gentle an opportunity to join the grange, but owing to some mis understanding they were unable to do so at that time, but will be given another opportunity in the near future. President Ackerman was at Dallas last Saturday where he assisted in organizing the Polk County Principals Club. Presidet n Ackerman, who al ways makes the Chapel Exer cises a prominent feature of the Oregon Normal School, showed his excellent judgment, when he gave the students a treat in the form of lectures given by Rev. Drs. Bell, of Corvallis, and Dunsmore, of Independence, Thursday morning, Nov. 2, about their journey to the Holy Lands. Dr. Bell, who has held respon sible positions on the school boards in various parts of the state for many years and in Cor vallis, for the past few years; and who is deeply interested in all educational movements, show ed by his jovial manner that he was very glad to be with us. Dr. Bell received his A. M. Degree from the Christian College and has a very warm place in his heart for Monmouth. He de lighted the students with his humorous proof, that Monmouth is the best place on earth. Dr. Bell took us upon flying trips with him to spots he thoaght would most interest all the students; and it is safe to say, that each one saw these historical places vivid ly by his spirited descriptions. It was with great reluctance, that the students allowed him to stop talking, for each moment had been a real pleasure. Dr. Dunsmore, who followed Dr. Bell, opened his lecture with a very amusing story at the ex nence of Dr. Bell, which was fully entered into and enjoyed by all. Dr. Dunsmore gave us a briet description of their itinerary. He dwelt upon the great inspira tions he had gained by being able to visit the Holy Lands. He left a deep impression upon the students by his words; that no one can doubt the truths taught in the Bible after standing upon the actual grounds where these wonderful events took place.

This be comes necessary in order to square up our books as the senior partner has purchased the junior partner's interest in the business and the latter wishes the account closed at once. G. W. Sullivan. S. Morrison. Being gifted with an energetic temperament, and a keen sense of the rights and wrongs of this world, his ambition was always not only to accomplish work worth doing, but especially to minister sympathy and timely help to those in sorrow, and to the ones least able to take con solation for themselves out of adversity. But lacking the blessing of a vigorous constitu tion, his struggle during the most of his life was not only to overcome the obstacles common to all of us, but also to accomplish in physical infirmity what others failed to do with bodily strength and health, and when pain was the severest the same inspiring smile always veiled his own troubles, and shed its benilicent ray on others. For fifty years his life was a part of the town, and no worthy work escaped his sharing in its doing. No more fitting tribute could be paid hinv or acts shown by his many friends, such a tender feeling of esteem, than the at tendance and sadness on every face at the last funeral rites in the church on the afternoon of the 21th of October. The hono rary pallltfarers were O. A. Wolverton, II. S. Portwood, E. C. Cole, A. J. Haley, Ira C. Powell, and J. B. V. Butler, with the following active bearers, C. L. Hawley, B. F. Butler, C. C. Mulkey, Mori Mulkey, Hartley Mulkey, and Allen Clark. This service was more like the grief in a private of family than a public funeral, so familiar was the deceased with the audience that packed all the available space in the church. Beautiful decoration every where covered the walls and doorways of the church, and with his favorite hymn, "Come with all thy sorrow," there was left no room for doubt but that the impress of the life thus honored was indeniably on the shores of time. Of his greatest work, would be placed first, his activity in his church, and the almost un paralleled suc-cess which crowned his efforts in build ing up and keeping the finances in such perfect condi tion that the work of the minis ter, and general condition of the church accomplished its greatest good. And thus while this active, useful life has passed from us, and we are pained with the void instead, yet it lives, and still in fluences us for the best there is in us for this life. A. Friend.'
