The opening"of the Valley and Si-
letz railroad was an event of impor
tance in Independence New Years
day. Some two hundred people
gathered to welcome the first train
into the city. The warmth of the
welcome was such that it surprised
Superintendent Williams who was
in charge of the train.
In response to the welcome he
told the Independence people that
present service was on lyf temporary
and that it was the plan of the rail
road to operate a motor from Val
setz to Independence when the mO'
tor arrived from the shops. It is
about forty miles between the two
places, reaching into the timber
belt in the Siletz basin. At present
most of the logs hauled are taken to
Dallas and Falls City , and come
through Monmouth making connec
tions at Crisp as the junction in the
vicinity of the Helmick bridge is
called.

Unless farmers use farm machin
ery more generally than ever before
they are not going to be able to
conduct their business successfully,
said the County Agricultural Coun
cils in convention at Farmer's
Week. Labor is not only scarce
but in some parts of the State ex
ceptionally high priced and farmers
are not able to compete with big
business in bidding for labor.
Farm tractors, harvesting and
threshing combines, and milking
machines, are the three classes of
machinery most largely being im
ported for use this seasuon. Her
bert Egbert, a Wasco county wheat
farmer, reported that 23 baby com
bines were brought into one town
in the grain belt. Other county
council leaders reported large pur
chases of farm tractors, many of
them of the caterpillar type.
At least 50 milking machines are
already in ute in Tillamjok county.
County Age-.t Jones reported, and
many more will be introduced as
rapidly as possible. Coos county is
running in an equal number, says C.
D. Jarman of the county council,
and must use many more if the dai
rymen are to get their cows milked.
He says that every old logging and
lumber plant and many new ones
are running full steam ahead and
have placarded the roadsides with
offers of $4 to $5 a day for help a
price that dairymen cannot afford
to pay. A survey of the number
and success of milking machines has
been asked of the county agents by
Paul V. Maris, State Leader, and
the results will be collected for gen
eral use.
