Stephens, of the Ex periment Station, returned Thursday morning from Pendleton when; he wm called by the Pendleton commer cial club to discuss the advisability of establishing an experiment branch station near that place. It is pro- foeed to inagurate the station with private funds and later be assisted by state appropriation. Crop rotation instead of summer fallow is the ul timate desire of those interested in having the station established in Um atilla county. Mr. Stephens reporb having seen wheat fields in Umatilla county with standing grain six feet high and thick enough on the ground to please any farmer. He also said that there was 100,000 acres of federation wheat in that county of which about 30,000 acre« was hard federation, all of which is looking fine. When visiting over night in Moro this week, two ladies from the Wil- lamettte valley had their tresses neatly trimmed by Joe Truitt at the Main street tonsorial parlor. They ' said they had been always so well satisfied with Mr. Truitt’s painstak ing efforts to please that they waited until they reached Mojo before hav ing the work* done. Sheriff Hugh Chrisman was offici ally informed by J udge D. R. Parker thia week that there would be no special term of the Sherman county circuit court this month. Mr.Chrisman was not informed as to the change of plan to try cases now pending before the court, but is of the opinion that no extra Rrm will be held before the regular session in November. Edgar Alley of this city and John ny Rolfe of Grass Valley will leave this Friday for a months vacation un der army pay at the Camp Lewis military training camp. A number of boys from Sherman county had signed for the trip, but these two arc the only ones to finally go. Most of the boys who had intended going to the military camp had to remain at home because of the possibility of harvest starting earlier his year than usual. Mutual Creamery Co.
