for an example what the Grange
of Mayville had been able to do
as an organization.
J. B. Goff of Lone Rock, Henry
Wilkins of Clem, C J. Quinn of
Mayville and Walter Wade of
Olex then took the floor and
heartily seconded the suggestions
of Mr. Dukek and favored or
ganizingand incorporating.
Frank Stevens of Lone Rock
then made -a motion that those
present organize into a body,
upon which Chairman Smith ap
pointed W. J. Mariner, George
Dukek, H. A. Thiessen, A.
Meresse, D. B. Thomas, and M.
Fitzmaurice to draw up the by
laws to be passed before the
meeting.
All those present became mem
bers of the Association by pay
ing the $2.50 membership fee
and passed on the by-laws. The
Association is to be known as,
The Gilliam County Improvement
League, its first object being to
secure the Experimental Farm
in Gilliam county, by encourag
ing improvements in better meth
ods of farming, - stockraising,
road making, advertising the re
sources of the county and other
work as would ordinarily come
before a County Board of Trade.
The executive committee elect
ed by those present are; D. B.
Thomas for die Condon precinct;
J. B. Goff, Lone Rock; W. S.
Wade, Rock Creek; W. J. Mari
ner, Blalock; J. L. Blalock, Ar
lington; Oscar Maley, Ferry Can
yon; and George Dukek, May
ville. This committee elected
Geo. Dukek, president; D. B.
Thomas, Treasurer; and Chas.
H. Horner, secretary.
After the election of the offic
ers the people present were giv
en a chance to express their opin
ion as to what would be the
most feasible plan to secure site
for experimental farm. Among
the large number who spoke
were: H. C. Strickland who
thought that the best plan was
to buy the land rather than to
rent C. C. Clark of Arlington
said that the committee should
first see who would be willing to
lease 300 or 400 acres of land in
different parts of the county and
how much the rental would
amount to. Mr. Clark offered
his ranch, 800 feet above the
Columbia at $1.00 per acre per
year. J. L Blalock followed
with a generous proposition and
offered 320 acres of his ranch,
seven miles from Arlington, to
the Association free of charge to
be used as an experimental farm.
Walter Wade of Olex thought
that the options should be taken
on different sections of land
with the privilege of buying as
the value of the land would be
far increased at the end of the
time and would be a good bus
iness proposition. W.J. Mariner
of Blalock had several plans to
offer, first, he thought that the
sufficient amount of land could
be rented for $800 per year for
ten or twenty years and that the
members of the Association per
haps 80 or 100 assessed at $10 per
year would make the farm a suc
cess. Another plan offered was
for the county to buy the
land and that since there was
$6,000,000 of assessable property
in this county, an. assessment of
25c on each $1,000 would
be more than sufficient and every
one should have a direct inter
est in this farm which would en
hance the value of every ranch in
Gilliam county.
The executive committee
. worked all day Wednesday in
perfecting the organization for
incorporation. How far the
work has been carried out may
be seen by the advertisement in
this issue of "proposals wanted'
for securing suitable land
Letters are to be sent to farm
ers and business men of the
county asking them to become
members of the Association,
to join the grandest movement
ever launched in Gilliam county.

Mr. Marble, the engineer at the
Electric Power House has been
pumping water at his residence
in the Rube McKinney house for
the past month with an Aermotor
gasoline engine, like the one J.
W. Dyer of Mayville tried, and
he says it is as good a pumping
engine as he has ever seen. It
is raising water over a hundred
feet and is equal to any in the
market At the same time it
only costs $60 when bought x of

the commission as doing and
if possible get a hearing. Mr.
Gains is the gentleman who
went around the county last sum
mer and who secured the names
of the majority of the farmers
on a contract which in case he
should be able to get a reduction
of six cents on the present grain
rates of 18 cents from Condon to
Portland, would give him 3 cents
from every hundred pounds of
grain shipped by the farmers of
this county. The Railroad com
mission have pronounced the
thing a huge graft and Wednes
day sat down on Mr. Gains, while
Oswald West of the commission
informed him that should any
reduction be secured the farmers
would enjoy the benefit while he
(Mr. Gains) would receive no
thing. As the greater share of
the farmers of this county signed
up with Mr. Gains, this cold
water cure given by the commis
sion created a good deal of amuse
ment To a representative of the
Globe Mr. Gains explained his
methods of getting at the rail
road to secure a reduction, but
crammed full of figures, statis
tics and the amazing amounts
of earnings of the rail
roads, with what it should be,

wiser than before but scratching
his head, hoped that reasonable
rates might be adjusted for both
sides.
