Allstott, brother of Robt. All- stott of Eight Mile, arrived in Hepp ner last Thursday from Oklahoma and he will make his home in Mor row county in the future. Mr. All sott was extensively engaged in the stock business and was numbered among the big shippers doing busi ness in Fort Worth, Texas. Mr. All stott knows -a cattle country when he sees it and he is axious to buy a large cattle ranch in this county. He was accompanied by his mother and George Lassater, another Oklahoman who wilL locate in Morrow county. Mr. Allstott says there are some forty stockmen down in the southwest who have their eyes turned on this section and are only awaiting a favorable re port from him before packing up their goods and following him here. A Son Is Bom. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson of Eight Mile, at the Heppner Sanatorium on March 2nd. The young man weighed 7 pounds and we are glad to announce that mother and child are doing well. Mrs. Anderson had been suffering a great deal and was under the care of a physician for some time, her condl tion being such that much fear was entertained concerning her recovery Dr. McMurdo, her physician, now feels that she is safely past all dan ger. Buys New Shearing Plant. Frank Turner has purchased a new shearing plant for the 1917 season and operations will begin at the Jas Carty ranch in another week or two, Mr. Turner will have a crew of eight men, all expert workmen, and they expect to have a busy season, as Mr. Turner states he has turned down ap plications for 30,000 head ot sheep A big motor truck will be used in moving the plant from one place to another. PORTLAND IS BEHIND New Orleans Latest City to Build Public Elevator, at Cost of $2, 500,000, With Capaciay of 1,028,000 Bushels. 19.52 50.69 2.16 13.31 17.30 .90 12.03 13.03 .IS 2.24 6.65 .76 .76 :74 (Oregonian) Every large port in the United States is discounting the future in the export business by providing modern and adequate terminal facili ties. Nearly every port now has such facilities, including large grain elevators, with the exception of Port land. Millions of dollars have been expended and are being spent now for such purposes in Vancouver B Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, New- York, Baltimore, Galveston, New- Orleans and other ports. The newest development along this line has been at New Orleans, where a public grain elevator has been con strocted at a cost of $2,000,000. According to descriptions of the new plant just received by the com mission of Public Docks, the elevator lias a capacity of 1,023,000 bushels of grain. Speed, a prime essential in the handling of grain, will be one of the features of the plant. ' Some of the figures which indicate this fact are as follows: It can' unload eight cars on fou tracks in 30 minutes, or 16 cars an hour. It can unload from one ship or barge to another, the grain coming into the elevator only for weighing It has a drying capacity of 20,000 bushels a day, and can clean 30,00 bushels in that time. It can deliver 100,000 bushels an hour to one ship, or, striving to ac commodate all comers! it can deliver 25,000 bushels an hour to each four ships at the wharf. A feature of the elevator is a pneu matic suction system, which will un load ships at a rate of 6000 bushel; an hour. A sacking scale of 1200 bushels an hour has been installed for loading cars and two machines which will sack ships and barges the marine towner at the rate of 2400 bushels an hour are in use. The Commission of Public Docks oi Portland is making plans to provide an elevator plant along these lines. Before definite plans can be made, however, the commission must obtain authorization from the voters in June for the project. Compared with the bonded indebt edness of other ports, Portland's bonded debt is low and it is felt that there can be no strong opposition to a bond issue sufficient to provide proper elevator and terminal- facilities. HEW FARM LOAN ACT Washington, Feb. 27, By reason of the facilities created by the federal farm loan act, which passed last summer, it will be easier in the fu ture'' for a farmer to secure money to make needed improvements or for the purchase of live stock, and it will be easier also for the landless man to purchase a farm, according to a re cent publication of the Department Agriculture (Farmers' Bulletin 792) entitled "How the 'Federal Farm Loan Act Benefits the Farmer." The Federal land banks established under this act will stand ready at all times, it is expected, to lend money to farmers on farm mortgage securi- The interest charges will be not more than 6 per cent, nor more than per cent above the rate paid on the bonds sold by the banks. If 4 per cent bonds should be issued, there fore, the rate charged on loans would be 5 per cent less. There will be no commissions or bonuses. The loans will be made for periods of time ranging from 5 to 40 years, thus doing away with the trouble and ex pense of frequent renewals. The payment of a certain part of the principal annually or semi-annually, with the interest, will be re quired. The total payment Including the interest, will be the same for each year, and will be just large enough so that the entire principal will be paid off at the end of the period. The annual payment thus required to pay off a loan of $1000 with in terest at 5 per cent, in 20 years is $80.24. After a loan has run 5 years the borrower will be permitted to pay off the whole amount, if he desires, on any interest date, or to make partial payments in addition to the regular installment. The requirement of installment payments on the amortization plan, as outlined above, will serve, first, to cultivate habits of thrift in the bor rower and second, to make possible the placing of loans at a lower rate of interest, since the gradual reduc tion of the principal constantly lm proves the security for the unpaid balance. The privilege ot optional payments after the first 5 years leav es the borrower free to discharge his indebtedness, before the end of the loan period, if he finds it convenient to do so. The federal land banks will per form three important services. (1) They will convert the security which farm mortgages afford into a nego tiable form, well known as farm-loan bonds. (2) They will furnish ad ditional security for the protection of these bonds, through their capital and surplus and thus make the bonds more attractive to investors. (3) They will sell the land-bank bonds in the open invesement market which for obvious reasons, the small far mer could not reach to advantage. The bonds are to be used in de nominations ranging from $25 to $1000 and it is expected that the bonds of small denomination will en courage saving through their appeal to individuals who have not been in the habit of making investments. The bonds will be secured not only by farm mortgages deposited in trust with a government official (the registrar for the land-bank district) but also, as indicated above, by the capital and surplus of the 12 lan-l banks. Both mortgages and bonds will be exempt from all forms of taxation. Farmers who wish to obtain money froi'.i the federal land banks will or dinarily be obliged to form local loan associations, and to get their loans through these organizations. The local loan associations will im prove the credit of their members and reduce the cost or. their loans through the performance of certain definite services among which are the following: The committee called the "loan committee" of the associa tion will appraise the property off ered as security and approve all ap plications for loans which are sent to the land bank. The secretary treasurer of the association will transmit the papers and carry on all correspondence with the land bank relative to the loans. The associa tion will guarantee the mortgages of its members, the liability of any in dividual member being limited, how ever, to an additional sum equal to the amount of his capital stock, or approximately to 5 per cent of his own loan. One Important function of the new system will be to establish safe stand ards for the farm mortgage business of the United States; for it is not pro posed to extend any credit except on the basis of proper security. In ad dition to the indorsements of the lo cal association, every loan must have the approval of one of the salaried appraisers appointed by the govern ment for the several land banks. Further, not more than $10,000 may be loaned to one borrower, nor more than 30 per cent of the value of the land offered as security plus 20 per cent of the value of the build ings; and the money must be used for specified productive purposes such as the purchase'of farm laiul Improvements, equipment, fertiliser: or for the payment of existing In debtedness. The Federal Farm Loan Hoard o( the Treaaurv Department iia Kf neral charge of the system. The Depart- ' ment of Agricurture will cooperate with this board in supplying infor mation and rendering assistance to farmers who desire to take advan tage of the Federal Farm Loan A.-t, especially with reference to 'he or gaaizalion of local loan associations. BIG CASH PRIZES IN THRIFT ESSAY CONTEST Winners To Receive Medals In Each County, And $o To 850 In Entire Country. Corvallls, Ore., March 7, (Special to Gazette-Times.) Here's & chance for a grade school pupil and a high school pupil in Morrow county to win a medal sure, and compete for one of the $5 to $50 prizes offered by the National Thrift Society for the best essays on thrift. All essays must come through the office of coun ty superintendent Shurte. "Oregon has done much to pro mote thrift in its educational insti tutions," says Dean J. A. Bexell, of O. A. C, who is the Oregon member of the national commission. "Why not Oregon children get in line and land a number of the county prizes? They can do it if they try." In addition to the county medals, cash prizes will be given winners in the national contest as follows: For the winner of first place in the high school division $50, for second and third best $25 each, and for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, $5 each; for the winner ot first place in the grade division $25, for second $15, for third and fourth $10, and for each of the next five $5. For full particulars of this contest apply to the county school superintendent. OF INTEREST TO ALL 640-ACRE ENTRYMAN Under the regulations recently is sued by the Department, the district land office will' not accept or reject petitions for designation, but in cas es where they consider the petition defective or insufficient, they will mail to the entryman by ordinary mail a copy of Circular No. 523, and a copy of Circular 524, which ex plain the requirements. It an ap plicant under the Stockraising Home stead law receives these circulars from the land office it Is a notice to him that his petition tor designation is defective, and that it will not be sent to Washington for thirty days, during which time he may file a new petition if he desires. It he does not do this, the old petition will be sent to Washington and await its turn for action by the Classification Division. When it is reached it may be reject ed, or held up for further evidence causing much delay and possibly the loss of the entry. Practically all of the petitions filed before the regulations were issued are defective, so every entryman un der this law should watch for this notice and make a new petition if needed. NEWS NOTES FROM OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES Near Artesian Well Found. Last week a well was completed on the Dr. Gritman place, four miles west of Pine City, which is almost an artesian well. At a depth of 70 feet a strong flow of water was struck, and it rose to within 20 feet of the top. A test of 100 gallons a minute did not lower the water per ceptibly. Drilling was continued to a depth of 112 feet, but no more water was found. Less than a quarter of a mile from this well is a drilled well that was put down 283 feet a few years ago without striking water. The Gritman well was waterwitched by Mrs. C. E. Lewis, who has been very successful in locating water in this neighborhood. Echo News. R. F. Wiglesworth transacted busi ness in Echo Wednesday. He reports that there has been no loss of sheep in his neighborhood by reason of the cold weather and snow, as all the stock has been off the range for some time. Echo News. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Currin and children returned Sunday in their car from Heppner, where they had visit ed with relatives several days. They came by way of Echo and Pendleton. Pilot Rock Record. After two hours deliberation the jury in the Hoch damage case return ed to court last night with a verdict of $12,000 and costs for Grace Paul ine Hoch against all the defendants, The Peoples Warehouse, the Dickson estate, Gibson & Cole and the city of Pendleton. Fifteen thousand dol lars was asked in the complaint. Because of the diverging interests of four defendants, it is expected that there will be further legal action to determine whether all are equally re sponsible. Saturday's Pendleton Tribune.
