Senator Butler and Mr. Kelly spoke relative to the difficulty experienced in securing the necessary legislative action for authority to make the wheat seed loans. Mr. Barnum, in the short pithy address he made to those present, dwelt upon the prosperity that has come to Sherman county because of the act of the legislature carried into effect by the board of control. He spoke of how the financial tension of the proceeding years had been enormously relieved by the possibil ity of being able to harvest the wheat crop that Sherman county had garnered this last harvest and which had been sold at prices largely in ex cess of other years in the immediate The banquet tendered by the wheat reseed committee, of Sherman county to the members of the state board of control at ^utel Moro last Tues day evening was attended by 134.

In honor of the event the dining room of the hotel and tables were very prettily set off and decorated with floral and green ery effects brought to Moro and plac ed by Carl Hartwig of Hartwig’s Flower Shop in The Dalles. It will be impossible to report in detail the gist of the many fine speeches made at the close of the banquet and before dispersal of those present. Among the many outstand ing points was that of Governor had farmed Pierce who said land in Union county when wheat sold for 60 cents a bushel; that over a period of years he had harvested several hundred thousand bushels which he had sold at that price and had »made a profit of >40,000 in the doing of it. He also said that wheat could not be harvested at that price now and that he looked forward to a price of not less than |2 a bushel within the close immediate future. Secretary of the Board of Control Carl Abrams, among other matters referred to in his speech, said that the entire cost of making the loans for seed wheat and making collec tions of the loans advanced did not exceed >3800 and that this amount included every item of costs which was paid out by the state because of these loans having been made. _ Jim Stewart, among other matters referred to in his speech, stated that Sherman county had repaid all its loans in full with interest; that a very few loans were yet unpaid in Gilliam county and that a few loans Morrow county farmers would probably have to be carried over to another year. Further, that in all likelihood there would be only one or at most two loans that would never be repaid to the state. Mr. Stewart stated that if the state lost one or more loans that had been ad- MORO, OREGON Briefly Sketches 1er Inter- ■atioi ef Oar flettere.
