Thursday, March 15, 1917 Creamery Adds Improvement An up-to-date churn was installed by the Heppner Creamery this week and is now in full operation. The Creamery, as announced heretofore has recently passed into the hands of new management and secured t first class butter maker from Port land in the person of I. R. clabough. Mr. Claybough is a man that thoroughly understands his business and his product Is being brought up to a standard of excellence not here tofore attained by this institution. It is gratifying to note that the pro duct of our little creamery is be ing used almost exclusively by our people and there is certainly no rea son why it should not be. Boost it along. THE NEW IDEA OF CONSERVATION. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, recently ad dressed a letter to the chairman of the Senate committed on public lands which is well worth quoting here: In view of the general realization that it is time to make plans for national defense, I take the liberty of suggesting that you consult with the chairman of the committee on military and naval affairs to see if it is not practicable to have the lands which are at pre sent locked up, containing oil, phosphate and potash, released under a leasing system. "We have some 6,000,000 acres of pos sible oil lands so withdrawn that no wells can be bored upon them. Only the land now held in private ownership are pro ducing. TVe should be about the business of discovering what these withdrawn lands contain. Gasoline is invaluable to the army and to the navy, as well as to every automobile owner and to the owner of every other gasoline-driven engine in the coun try. The largest deposit of potash in this country, which is fundamental in the manufacture of explosives, is also out of use because withdrawn, and we livae some 3,000,000 acres of phos phate deposit in the same situation. The development of these resources can he made effective by the passage of a leasing bill. The old idea of conservatism, the idea preached and prac ticed by Koosevelt and Pihchot, says the Helena Independent, was to lock up all unused natural resources and sit before the door with a shotgun. The new idea, which Secretary Lane has put into practice whenever Congress would give him a chance to do so, is to permit the use of all natural resources in such manner as to prevent waste and to get full value for the public. In times like these the quicker the new way is adapted through out, the better. t-t TURNING WESTWARD. There are signs that the high prices ruling for all farm products will stimulate the current of immigration to the West ern States. According to M. E. Hay, ex-governor of Washing ton, the railroads give assurance that more homesteaders will come westward this year than during any previous season. One organization in Spokane has received nearly 1000 inquiries, re garding farm lands since January 1. The situation means that eastern folk tiring of paying high prices for foodstuffs wish to turn producer. The high prices at which land is held will prevent most people from taking such a step. Nevertheless we may safely look for many newcomers this year and a net gain in our farming population is to be ex pected. Futhermore there will be a tendency to bring unused fanning land under cultivation. Pendleton Tribune. RAILROAD BROTHERHOODS TAKE PATRIOTIC STAND. The country wijl applaud the patriotic spirit that prompted ic official leaders of the organized trainmen to assure the resident that in case the United States should be drawn into -war a strike would not be permitted to embarrass the govern ment. Expressions of this character, coming without the solicita tion or pressure, exert a profound moral effect and tend to keep the country out of war. This wilf become the more apparent if the possibilities of converse action by the trainmen are con-, siiiered. Suppose the brotherhoods had taken a less patrotic view of the situation, and had said to the president and the eo-.uitry: "Self-interest is our highest law, and we intend to use our strike weapon whenever it shall seem the most likely tn get results. If you don't want the railroads tied up in time of trouble with a foreign country, keep out foreign troubles." A declaration of that nature would be siezed upon in Ger many to urge the Berlin government to make war on the United States. "The trainmen will tie up the railroads," it would be .argued, "and without train service or preparedness we have nothing to. fear from the United States." The promise of the brotherhoods bears the impress of sin cerity and patriotic purpose. It means that if we are forced into war the country will not be economically helpless; that the trainmen stand ready to speed up the nation's transportation service a service, as the European Avar has shown, as neces sary to national defense as guns, ships and fighting men. Spokesman-Review. Indicating the prosperous" condition of the Heppner coun try we desire to call attention to the report published in this issue of the First National Bank of Heppner. The past year has been a prosperous one along all lines and the future is bright for both farmer and stockraiser who are the backbone of the resources of this section. The large representation of Heppner citizens at the Com mercial Club meeting on Monday night shows that they are awake when questions of real importance come up. Possibly the club has been trying to meet too often, and better results might be obtained if the meetings were held monthly rather than once every two weeks as at present. - Our Roll of Honor. During the past week M. C. Cur ran, N. F. Lawson, M. J. Bradford, and A. W. Raglan of Heppner, have had their names added to the Gazette Times mailing list, as have also Mrs. W. E. Davison of Grandview, Wash Karl Farnsworth of Cecil, Ore., and Antone Cunha of Lena, Ore. , W. H Johnson and Edward Duran of Lexington are two young men who have recently gone to Portland to en list in the United States naval ser vice. They are sons of Chas. John son and E. S. Duran, respectively, prominent citizens of Lexington. Word has been received by friends in this city that Mrs. L. E. Cohn, who recently suffered a nervous break down at Pendleton, has been taken to the Eastern Oregon branch asylum for treatment. A class consisting of two teams is being initiated this week into the mysteries of Royal Arch Masonry by the members of Henpner Chapter No. 26. The labors will be finished this eveniug and will be followed by a banquet to the members and their ladies in the dining hall at Masonic temple. after the first publication of thia notice to said Minnie B.

Briefly stating, there are four fundamental reasons why every farmer whether a producer of beef or dairy cattle should build a $ilo. FIRST The silo is the medium through which a highly palatable, succulent food is produced for winter consumption. Fed . along with alfalfa and a small amount of grain it makes a balanced ration. Silage not only promotes health but also stimulates the appetite and aids digestion. SECOND A silo insures you proper feed for the summer months when the pastures dry up, thereby avoiding the check of growth in beef animals and the flow of milk in dairy cows. , THIRD Insures high food value per cu bic foot, therefore, one of the cheapest meth ods known for storing feed. All the digesti matter in curing is practically saved, besides less labor in storing and feeding. FOURTH A silo frequently saves a crop which otherwise might be damaged or a to tal loss. Rains often come at a time when it would be impossible to save an early cutting of alfalfa, clover, oats, peas, or grasses, or an early frost may nip the corn. You can put any crop in the silo whatever the weather conditions are. Any green crop properly ensiloed will furnish a succu lent food very beneficial to all farm animals, but through out the United States, dairymen concede corn silage to be the greatest stimulent for milk production known.. Beef producers are not skeptical in pronouncing silage one of their most important feeds. 1 Investigate the Tum-A-Lum $ilo LOW IN COST, EASILY CONSTRUCTED, STRONG DURABLE, SELF-SUPPORTING.
