A more enthusiastic meeting
was neve? held before in the
annals of Gilliam county than that
on last Tuesday evening In the
court house, which resulted in
the organisation of The' Gilliam
County Improvement Association
Representatives from every
section of the county came ready
to offer valuable information on
the farm station, pursuant to the
call of D. B. Thomas: who had
been corresponding with Pres.
" Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural
College on the proposition ot lo
cating ah experimental dry farm
In this county. Such interest in
good cause has seldom been
displayed before and the people
who had gathered Ioalj no time in
getting into action. J
J. A. Smith of Baker City, one
of the largest land owners of
cnairman oi we meeting.
, plaining the object of the gather
; ing said, "Gilliam cointy is in sad
need of a representative body.
There ia no , organization at the
. present time which, could look
after the interests of the farm-
ert and business men, especially
at this time when an organization
could do so much in, meeting the
railway commission tomorrow.
The farmers of this county are
today paying $20,000 more for
wheat bags than j necessary on
account of the tariff and such a
body could have influence thru
thftJr renreaentatives when Con
gress revises the tariff during
the next session. There are a
number of important interests
in behalf of the county that
this body could bring about, it
could work with the county
court to obtain great benefits
in many ways." Mr. Smith also
went on to say that Gilliam
county was in much need of ad
vertising, many people should be
broutrht to the county to settle
and thus help farm in the right
way. i
Chas. Horner was elected sec
retary of the meeting and, read
the letters received by Hon. W.
J. Mariner and D. B. Thomas
concerning the locating of an
experimental farm station. The
chairman then asked the opinion
of the people present as to a per
manent organization, D. B.
Thomas of Condon, Hon. W. J.
Mariner of Blalock. and II. A.
Thiessen of Condon, gave their
ideas, favoring an organization
which should be incorporated,
the election of an executive com
mittee which should have the pow
er to act on all important ques
tions in behalf of the best inter
ests of Gilliam County, ,:. Frank
Stevens of Lone Rock was heart
ilv in favor of the organization
and the good such a body would
bring in advertising the resourc
es of the county. George B. Du
kek of Mayville said, "With such
a renresentation as we have here
this evening we should bring
this to a head and the rest of the
Deople will follow the move
ment," and he went on to state

STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
i HOLDS GRAIN RATE HEARING
Gilliam County Farmers Examined as to Cost of Producing
Wheati May b Followed by Reduction In Grain Freight
" Rates Rail road Company Take Active Part.
' The state railroad commisson,
T. K. Campbell, Oswald West,
. Clyde B, Altcheson, and their
stenographer, R. R Miller, held
' a grain rate hearit.g in Condon
Wednesday. The commission
was assisted by District Attorney
Burdett, who' called a number
of wheat growers of the county
to be examined and to give test
imony as to the cost of growing
wheat in Gilliam county. The
' O. R. & N. railroad officials, W.
E. Coman, assistant general
freight agent; H. C. Oliver, trav-
- elini freight agent; and Hugh
O'Neill, tariff inspector; were
present and through their at
torney, Arthur Spencer, took
active part in the hearing.
The estimates of the farmers
upon the cost of wheat raising
differed somewhat aa many had
not Driven ,lhe matter much
thought James Cooke, while on
the stand, perhaps gave the best
average of the real cost to the
fanner. Mr. Cooke gave the
items per acre as follows: plow
ing, $1.50; seeding, weeding and
harrowing, $1.10; amount of
seed used, 65c; heading, $1.25;
sacks, 90c; hauling, 55c; thresh-

ing, $1.40; interest 2 years' cap
ital invested, $4.00; making a
total of $11.35. At the average
price of 65c per bushel the av
erage crop of 20 bu. per acre
would bring $13.00 to the farmer,
which would leave a profit of
$1.65 per acre or as Mr. Cooke
estimated a profit of 8ic per bu.
However it must be reirembered
that Mr. Cooke did not take in
the items of reseeding in case
of freeze outs, taxes or necess
ary repairs to fences. Such test
imony as Mr. Cooke's went on
to show to the commission that
the real profit of the wheat grow
er was not large and did not
make a great showing unless the
farmer happened to have an ex
tensive crop. The commission
expects to use the data when
they look further into the matter
of railroad freight rates later on..
However, Commissioner Aitche
son while in the city said that in
all nrobablity a reduction would
be made on the Condon branch
and the main line.
F. W. Gains and his attorney,
Robert J. Slatter, of Pendleton,
were also present to see what
