More than 150 farmers were present and it was decided to make $60 per month tho uniform wage for spring work, as that is the wage set in other counties in Eastern Oregon. Mr. Tweed said he had receiv ed inquiries regarding the estab lishing qf a canning.factory and dryer ia Eagle Valley' and that he expected parties in to inves tigate within a short time. This would bo a ,big thing for the community and twill fill a want tVat has long been felt by our orchardists and gardeners.

New members are being enrolled at every meeting and it is urged that every man en rolled and everyone interested be on hand early Saturday night as matters of importance will be discussed and drill bo held on the street if weather permits.
