Moalhi -7S Good Roads Demanded By All The Farmers "Farmers are going crazy on good roads and the principal reason is not foilnd in the fact that good roads men lessened transportation cost on their pro duce, either," said Howard M. Covey of Covey Motor company, who has just returned to Port land from an auto tour of eastern Oregon. The facts is the ranch ers want automobiles themselves and good roads to run them on. ' "In years gone by the ranch man waving an angry fist at the dust of a passing machine, it was a stock joke; today he fa riding i.i . the machine and likes it. An automobile on an eastern Oregon ranch is an every day sight." Mr. Covey left Portland October 6 and returned the latter part of the month. He traveled approxi mately 2000 miles in a Cadillac and visited among other places Pendleton, LaGrande, Baker, Vale and Ontario. His tour was for the purpose of demonstrat ing the Cadillac and procuring first hand information into bus iness conditions as it affects the automoblilo market He returns home well pleased with conditions as he found them. "The people are optim- , istic and every indication is for a heavy market in the spring," he Baid. Truth Stranger Than Fiction Dr. A. E. Wmship, the noted writer and lecturer, who was here at the recent institute of teachers, has written a lengthy article in his Journal of Education of his fine trip through the East ern Oregon territory. He states in one paragraph that some day he will write a "realistic story laying the plot in the house where four of us stayed in Burns. No friction could be more captivat ing." In the same paragraph the eminent Doctor states that they could not secure hotel ac commodations and that "two hundred peolpe, fifty-six of them women, sat up all night." That's some romance itself and about as far from the truth as many other of his statements in the ar ticle. We will give the gentle man credit for coming near the truth in two or three instances in his description of the trip, but if that is a Bample of his truth fulness in all his writings he should be placed entirely in the fiction class and not allowed to pen a line Journal." in an "Educational Notice To Hide Sellers Baker, Oregon.

Zoglmann Company High Grade Tailoring - - - Burns, Oregon Feed Grain to Your Hogs The wheat farms of the Inland Empire section of the Pacific Northwest, which constitutes the eastern portions of Oregon and Washington, should be as famous for their production of hogs as they arc for the production of wheat and other grain. Many profitable systems of hog production can be worked out on the grain farms of that wonder ful section of country. It will pay to feed "dollar" wheat to hogs. With proper pas ture and a small supplemental grain feed a hog can be brought to a fattening stage at a cost of about 3J cents a pound. The cost should not exceed 4 cents at the most. Numerous feeding experiments conducted at the Oregon Experi ment Station have shown conclu sively that it requires approxi mately 4i pounds of either wheat or barley to produce, one pound gain of live weight for a fatten ing period of about sixty days. Estimating then that a pig weigh ing 150 pounds has cost $6 he is fed 450 pounds of wheat or bar ley and weighs 250 pounds. The hog is then worth GJ cents per pound, or $16.25. Thus the 450 pounds of grain fed gave a re turn of $10.25 or in other words gave a return of $1.36 a bushel for wheat, or $1.13 a bushel tor the barley fed. If present prices of pork are taken into considera tion the returns from grain fed would be much higher. There is no doubt but that swine husban dry can be made very profitable upon the grain farms of eastern Oregon and eastern Washington. That section should no longer passively observe trainloads of hogs passing through their farms from corn-growing states; but should endeavor to develop the industry until Oregon shall be known as one of the greatest swine-producing states of the Union. - By James Withycombe.

Tho Toimwnnm Hand is jrointf to mnkc tiling a litllo lively for thoir friends wul introduce new features nt n dunco to ho kivoii by Hint organization noxt Kriday night at the Tonawama Theatre. The entire band will furnish music for l-io dancers for a part of the evening which will prove nn attractive innovation to the young people of this section. Following the concert and promenade danco feature of the early evening every band boy will be a lloor manager and they will see to it that their guests get all the dancing they want and a general good time for as long as they care to dance. Tho usual price will bo charged i for dance tickets, which is $1.00. Every gentloman attending will i be charged for a dance ticket and the lady spectators who do not care to dance and children, will be provided with seats in tho I gallary so as not to interfere! with the dancers and their seats. The floor is to be giv n a spec ial going over with a new pre paration that is recommended to make it the best dance lloor pos sible, therefore, with such genial hosts as tho Tonawama Band boys have proven themselves loj be and the high class music furn teh by this splendid organization our young people are asssured of a fine time. Everyone should attend this social function and support this move, as every op portunity the band is bupported it means just that much better organization in the future and we believe with the prospects now under way, Burns will be uroud of its band, and point with pride to this musical organization of home boys during the coming year. J. A. Beattie, a foi mer presi dent of the Weston normal, writing from Lincoln, Nebraska to a Portland paper, suggests that school be made an agricul tural and manual training school. It wouldn't bo a bad idea and fits in well with the present move- ment to get young people more interested ip the soil.

Ho passed away following an attack on tho street, not regaining consciousness after he was hurried to tho hospital. Relatives in Baker received notification of tho death of Mr. Kcelea, who is heavily interested in naior ami vicinuy, ucmg president of the Sumpter Valley jlaiwliy company and tho Oregon ijUmi,or company, as well as invinir other interests. Ho hns been in Baker lately on business, spending Thanksgiving there, and left for his homo In Ogden, Utah. Tho deceased was also a man or highest standing in the Mormon church, and, had ho lived until tho 12th day of next May, he would have been 04 years of age. Shows Tito Easterners Our Prosperous Condition A special freight train of 75 double-decked cars recently left the east for the Pacific coast with Buick automobiles, the largest single shipment ever made. The value of this train loadofautos is $-182,400. This will give our eastern friends i some idea of tho prosperity of this section and will impress them with the great opportune 'n,0 truiti will bo used as an advertisement for this pur pose and will be run through the thickly populated sections in day time. Another good feature of such a shipment is tho evidence of good roads throughout tho West. Cood roads are essential for motoring and while the auto man is enjoying these good things the farmer is going to receive his share of it. Tho auto is used far more in the West in proportion to population than other parts of the country and while wo are yet new the shipments are as tounding. It is but tho beginning." More autos will bo used in the near future.
