OKLAHOMA STOCKMAN
COMES TO THIS COUNTY
J. O. 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.

(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.

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
