For a number of years the Ore gon-Jjaahliigtoo' R&ilroad & Nav igation Company1 baa conducted a Vlguolia'' &ffij5afgti' of education 'investigation, ' experimentation and "demonstration, having for its pur pose tlie improvement of agriculture 'in the section of the country it serves with transportation. The management realized the fact that two of the present impor ;tai)'. factors of business Were limited 'timber and mining'! In time the mines might be worked out and 'the timber supply exhausted. Agriculture, however, was endur ing. The soil would go on' pro ducing crops indefinitely. The 'rea'of cultivated land could lie increased by tl)fi clearing of tini bered lands, drainage 'of swamp lands, the extension of thojrr)pated area, by pumping,' tfy storage 'reservoirs and by a nipre conserva tive and intelligent use of water. The annual product's could be vastly increased by better cultiva tion, better seed and crop rotation. jThe net returns 011 laboi and caphal invested would be increased 'by the introduction of purebred animals, better methods of care and feeding, greater diversity of crop production, and more systematic and intelligent marketing of farm products. To secure results along these lines necessitated a diversity of methods as various as the soil, climate and individuals, and. re quire an investigation first of the conditions as thty existed and the methods practised. For this pur pose specialists weie employed to visit the farmers in the various localities, find out what they were doing, how they 'were' doing it and the results secured. The condus ious reached from these investiga tions were, briefly sumtnerized, thaf to materially improve the business of agrjculturp in the prairie sections there should .(e wore and better livestock, smaller farms, greater diversity of products and more people on the land, in the irrigated sections njqre dairy cows, more hogs and poultry, This necessitates the growing of pom and alfalfa, Literature was Dr, HATFIELD Now at Maupin Modern Dentistry at Moderate Prices Now is the time to re pair those bad teeth Painless Extraction Guaranteed TrTfTTTTT?

Farrell, President, in Railway Journal. ' r Truth Will Out 1 . . from Page 1 of the "common sense arguments and good ' sense logic" used by members of the Mosier delegation we recall the eloquent phillinic de. livered by one of their number who pranced down the aisle of the court room waving his arms like a Mexi can revolutionist in distress exclaim ing about as fdllow.si'VZtorW. Thi, fur, why should a found want to dp there, there is not a daw ned thing out there ' but sage orusn, coyotes ana jack rabbits!" T hfs identical delegate', a few years ago, made an address before a ses sion of a Dtifur Sundav school wherein he e i tolled the beauty of Dufijrand its immediate vicinity and discoursed at length upon the cer tainty ot a wonderful development for all this region. ' Now to place the most charitable .interpretation upoii this reversal of position, he was mistaken in one instance or the; other' and we leave to the voters to decide Upon which occasion lie was using "common sense arguments and good sound logic. " The delegates from Southern; Wasco county did not oppose build ing a road from Hosier to Fairbanks' and djd not oppose the allotment of $35,000.00 from The Daljes to Fairbanks, but they did object and still object, to the eupenditure ol $1.73,000.00 for a 24 foot boulevard over the river route from Mosier to The Dulles, when for much less riipney a creditable highway can be built from Mosier over the Seven Mile hill to The flaljes.' In the meetings on the 27th, this joute was favored by 'Mr. Richards, spokesman for the delegates from 'Southern Wasco county, but no serious consideration was given to it by those favoring the more expen. siye river ' ropfe. The' Dalles Chroujcle, it) its article of which the Bulletin prints a part, claims that the Seven Mile hilj route is now being considered as being less expensive an as being capable of serving more of the residents ot Wasco county. The self confessed price of "TUM-A-LUMP" will be sainc up from now on 5Iow high it will be this winter it ia hard to say. THRIFTY FOLKS take advantage of the lower summer rates by buying their winter "TUM-A-LUMP", supply now they save a great deal on their COAL BILL Why don't you? You can get longest burning, highest heat producing " TUM-A-LUMP the kind that is thoroughly screened, right now for a great deal LESS than you will be foroed to pay later on in the season. Why delay? Be thrifty! Order today and SAVE MONEY! "See Peter Kilburg about It" TUM-A-LUM LUMBER COMPANY HOME OF 'TUM-A-LUMP" modesty of the Mosier delegates, as voiced by Hie Bulletin, is pallid, ic in the extreme, as nil iliey want is an expendiluie ot $45,000.1.0 from Hood River county line to Mosier and $173,006.00 fora boule vard 24 feet in widdi over (.lie most expensive route to The Dalles, a route which woufd not benefit near, ly many of tile residents of the county as would the route over Seven Mile hill. Again re aclc the people of Wasco 'cotlnty Vvhc'ther or not. as the Bulletin maintains, the stand of the delegate's from Southern Wasco county-was, both comic and trag-j ic,' Also, we invite yout1 attention to the Bulletin's statements regard ing ''unparalleled nerve)' and the self opinionated representative from Dttfur" and to the assertion ol the Bulletin that "the Dufur dis trict is not without for more than her full share of nerve, effrontery, egotism and self importance, and at tne same tune lacking 111 the broad minded and unselfish spirit that is most Obligatory and essential to the best interests of Wasco county at large." While considering these assertions cf the Mosier Bulletin bear lu mind the fact that Dufur acted only in unison with the other delegates from " Southern Wasco county at all times' and upon all questions and that tiiere never has been any desire of these delegate to act otherwise, aud then decidi for yourselves Whether or not these wild allegations of the Bulletin fttl nil 1 tie requirements ot common sense argument and good sound logic." The Bulletin also states that "Dufur seems to lose sight of the original and paramount obiect ol the matter in question, the issue of bonds for the purpose of building the'Columbia River highway.." In reply we simply quote from the letter of the Wasco County Good Roads Association to the voters of Wasco county, September 30, last, which under the heading ''Let Wasco County Be Progressive" reads as follows; "Let us make tarm life more pleasant by giving to the farmers of the county good roads, relieving them from many; burdens and enabling them to mingle more freely, to their mutual benefit and improvement.'' The attempt of the Mosier Bulle-: tin to befog the issue by casting odium upon Dufur is a cheap trick which will avail nothing, as the voters of Southern Wasco county' are well informed upon all phases' of the bonding question and such tactics will not disrupt the perfect understanding which has enabled them to stand for theil just lights and fiiey will coututie to present a united tronf upon tins matter and there is not a sound argument with which their position can be assailed.

Sign hey were all able to do justice to the Thanksgiving din ner. We were glad to greet our county superintendent, Mr. Bouncy, one afternoon this, week. Elmer Minder's seat has been vacant during the week. We won der if it Is to ha,ve a sign board erected over it "For Sale or Rent" Will Praley and Cecil Chastaiu compose the board of safety.

Why is it every school house in the country has a flag floating over it in nice weather but Tytvh Valley. Sure the flag is quite conspicuous bv its absence there.1 Now that shows lack of patriot ism, and every teacher should teach the pupils to love the flag, teach them what it stands for and should teach them to care for it and never allow it to be trailed in the dirt, but if they find one that has been carelessly thrown clown, to pick it up and burn it rather than to see it trampled in thp mud- There is no sight in the world so beautiful as a flag when it is unfurled to the breeze.
