Another beloved iiioncer has
been stricken from the ever less
ening roll of our old pioneers.
Stephen Lampshiro died at his
homo nenr this city last Sunday
morning, Dec. 31, 1911 after a
brief illness; He was in his (X'lrd
year.
While it is a pleasure for tho
writer to cxtoll his virtues and
his high character it is one of
tho saddest obituary notices ever
penned by him for Mr. Iamp
shiro was one of the nearest
and best friends the manager of
this paper had out side his family
ties.
Steve was a man of fine mornl
character and he continued to be
active in his accustomed pursuits
up to within 21 short lime of his
death. He was cheerful and met
most of tho conditions and situa
tions of life with a joke. Ho
was a practical matter-of-fact
man, but had his own way of ex
tracting merriment from life.
He was invariably a good neigh
bor and there was no more hos
pitable home in the laud than
his.
He believed in tho fatherhood
of (iod and the brotherhood of
man. He believed that the man
who scatters Mowers in the path
way of his fellowmeu, who leLs
into tho dark places of life the
sunshine of human sympathy
and human happiness is following
the footsteps of his master. He
exemplified by his pure and hon
orable life, and teachings of tbe
golden rule and unfailingly evin
ced a practical piety that will
long be remembered as the best
of professions. IH3 best monu
ment will be the good report that
he has left behind him in the
community where he had lived
for almost 150 years.
Mr. Uimpsbire was born in
Cornwall, England and came first
to California where he worked
in the mines coming to this place
in 18&J where he wns joined sev
eral years later by his family.
He had been engaged in stock
raising and farming up until two
years ago when be and his son
sold a K)rtion of the stock and
leased what was loft together
with all the land except the home
place. He is survived by his wife
and son, James J., to whom the
sympathy of tho entire communi
ty is extended.
Mr. Lampshiro was one of the
pioneer members of Harney
Lodge No. 77, I. O. O. F. and the
final service at the grave was
conducted by his brothers who
honored him for years, as an Odd
Fellow and citizen. Dr. C. C.
Habbidge of the Presbyterian
church held services at the fami
ly home before the remains were
brought to the hall in this city.

Governor West and the Oregon
Governor West says: -"The
Western Governors' Special has
proved tho greatest advertising
feature ever attempted in the in
terest of the West. News of its
coming was abioad in the land
thousands awaited at the stop
ping points not only to receive us
with open arms, but to hear of
tho great resources and possibili
ties of the Western states.
'The tour of tho Western Gov
ernors will result in the bringing ,
about of a better understanding
and close friendship between the i
East and the West. The eyes of
the East were not only opened to
the possibilities of the West, but
its people were brought to realize
that our interest is their interest
and whatever is dono to dovelop
the West is bound to redound to
tho benefit of the East. They
know that a movement of tho
Exhibit Car in Baltimore, Md.
"landless man" of the East to
the 'manless land' of the West
is one not only in the interest of
business, but one which will
mnko for government.
"When told of the great va
riety of resources of a state like
Oregon of its 2i,000 square
miles of virgin forest, of water
power which measures twice that
of New York, Massachusetts and
Maine combined; of its great va
riety of grains, grasses and vege
tables and fruits, of its mines
and fishing, of its orchards and
hop fields, of its live stock in
dustry, and last but not least of
its delightful climate- they could
hardly believe the statements
true. As a result of the trip
thousands are becoming inter-,
ested, and I am sure the coming
year will see a westward move-J
tnent such as was never seen be
fore." '
work has furnished some good
results with proso millets, parti -dularly
under irrigation, but also
under dry-land conditions. Em
mer, because of it better adap
tion, still gives evidence of being
a valuable crop in localities a little
too dry for other stock food, such
as oats and barley. '
"For the work in dry-land grain
investigations two new experi
ment farms have been added, one
at Burns, Or., and one at Aber
deen, Idaho. These farms will
be managed in co-operation with
the experiment stations of these
states. During the year for the
first time, experiments with
grains under irrigation have been
undertaken. These experiments
are conducted at points where it
is possible to compare the results
obtained with similar varieties
under dry-farming conditions.
"The grain sorghums are prov
ing increasingly important as
stock food for dry-land areas, i
The dwarf and early varieties,
such as Dwarf milo, Dwarf Black
hull Kaffir, Sudan durra and the
knowliangs which have been bred
and distributed by this depai t
ment are giving surer yields un
der conditions of greater drouth
than were formerly possible.
They also permit the extension
of these grains into more north
ern states, as South Dakota,
Idaho and Oregon."
INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
(Portland Correspondent)
A state wide campaign of ed
ucation that leads toward instead
of away from the farm is to be
undertaken early in the year.
The State Bankers' Association,
the Oregon Agricultuial College
and the Oregon Development'
League are co-operating with tbe
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction to formulate a course
of study to be introduced into
public schools of Oregon.
A conference will be held at
Corvallis about the middle of Jan
uary at which the various inter
ests will be represented and a
course of instruction will be
adopted. Commercial organiza
tions arc expected to arrange i
simultaneous meetings through-1
out the state at which their mem-1
bers will be informed on the plan '
and speakers selected to visit the
local schools and deliver talks to
the children along those lines.
The school meetings will also be
held on a date to be announced
later.
State bankers are stionjdy
backing the plan and are contrib
uting funds to maintain an or
ganizer in the field, who will
visit tbe various school boards
and teachers and enlist their aid.
Some interesting comparisons
are shown by government figures
on Oregon's population, just
gleaned from the last census by
the Department of Commerce
and Labor. The number of
people to the square mile from
4.3 in 1900 to 7 in 1910. The
drift of population during the
decade was toward the cities and
away from the farms. Ten years
ago the percentage of the people
in cities of 2500 or more was 152.2
and on the "farms G7.S; in 1910
this was changed, with 15.(5 in
the cities and 51.4 in rural Ore
gon. Harney, Lake and Mal
heur counties average less than
one person to the square mile.
Poultrymen about Aurora are
discussing going into the busi
ness of hatching and shipping s
day-old chicks. They say i!.000
000 baby chicks weie shipped
into Oregon, Washington. Idaho
and California last year, and that
only 50,000 of this number were
hatched on the coast, the re
mainder coming from east of the
Rocky Mountains. Oregon's
mild climate would seem to be
ideal for the business.
