III ' Jjj'j0 ' PRES. KERB RETURNS HOME Explains Work of Farms To tlo Established. DIIY FA UM, IS NOW ASSURED But Beiilnnlng of Movemsnt for Development of Farm ing Industry Through out Whols) Stats. President W. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural College, up on his return toCorvallis the first of the month from Wash ington, D. C, announced the successor his ellors in obtain ing for Oregon two new agricul tural experimental stations. As mentioned in the Globe two weeks ago, one station will be lo cated at Ilormiston, the other in Gilliam. Sherman or Morrow county. The GIoImj also stated that Dr. Kerr had been success ful in securing the co-operation of the department of agriculture in the establishment and main tainanceof the stations, as well as having secured aid from the federal government in the way of equipment These stations will bo equipped with the latest scientific apparatus and will be in charge of experts. The federal government will also co-operate in carrying on the work by fur nishing special experts from the department of plant industry. Over a million acres of land in Eastern Oregon will bo affected by the work of these stations. It is predicted that in from three to five years the experiments will result in an increase in re turns to the farmers of these districts of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. In discussing the work which is to be carried on, President Kerr said, "The establishment of these two stations is only the beginning of a movement which will cover the entire state of Or egon. Ah fast as conditions de mand the work will be extended to southeastern and southern Oregon. The agricultural col lege and station will co-operate with the farmers and corpora tions throughout eastern Oregon in carrying on special experi ments. The scope of the work will only be limited by the re sources at tho command of the experts in charge. This great work which means so much to the state of Oregon will be car ried on with comparatively small expense to the state itself. The federal government will bear practically all of the initial ex pense and a large share of the expense of maintenance." The work will cover expri ments in both irrigation and dry farming. It is hoped that the dry lands which are cultivating and yielding but one crop every two years will be made to yield a crop annually. President Kerr is anxious for the support and co-operation of the farmers and business men throughout the state in . the carrying forward and extension of this great work.

Jacob Larch, who is now in the east, had the misfortune on Fri day of last week of . losing his house by fire assisted by a can of giant powder. There are many different stories afloat as to the way it happened but as near as can be learned, the man who was working for John McEachern drilling a well on the Larch farm near Clem went to the house to get some Giant powder from the cistern where he had it cached and left it sitting on a bench out side while stepped into the house for a few minutes, On coming out ho forgot the powder and went to the drilling machine and after some time noticed that the house was in flames. Seeing that the fire was beyond control and fearing that the powder would explode, he stayed away and af ter a few minutes the powder did explode, scattering bits of the house and pieces of the stove for hundreds of feet COUNCIL VOTES TEN-MILL TM To Pay Interest on Bonded Water System.

Milling Co., Condon, Oregon. Last Monday evening's council meeting was a busy session as most important business was brought up by Mayor Farnsworth for the decision of the council men. The first matter to be taken up was new iron water mains to replace the wooden pipes. Mr. Fish, of Crane & Co. of Portland, was present to give the council an idea of the best material and cost The 8.000 feet required, 7i inches inside measurements, with necessary connections, he estimated at a cost of about 17,000. The approximate to tal expense of completed job would be between 112,000 and $13,000, figured several council- men. The council was united on rushing the work to early com pletion and definite action will be taken at the next meeting. The laying of new mains will it is believed,, lower the cost of run ning the water system and place it on a paying basis and perhaps lower the present high water rate, which is due to the loss of nearly, half of the water pumped iu the wooden pipes from the station on account of leaks. It is now claimed that the wooden mains were not properly placed. Bills amounting to $1,575.65 were ordered paid. D. Tierney for the 0. R. & N. brought in a bill of $715. 65 for a gasoline en gine and pumping plant which the city had secured from the company several years ago and had been using since that time. This matter created much dis cussion as the price asked was thought exhorbitant, and the bill was held over for investiga tion. Mayor Farnsworth then took up the present railroad yards (Continued on Page 6) m m m m V I Xaoler HIGH GRACE FFEE Tie Higfcaca li certainly Mcb II baa that dear, awar rick ana thateukaa fctkeUnf I aofieea.
