(Signed) Catherine M. Hogeland, Administratrix. Man Who Was Among First Settlers In Judith Basin Country, Belie ves Morrow County Offers Greatest Opportunity To Wheat Raiser. ! "This is a great country, this Mor row county, and we have made money since coming here four years ago," said W. E. Cummings, west Heppner farmer who was in town last Satur day. Mr. Cummings has Just closed a deal for the purchase of the half in terest of his partner, R. T. Brown in the Cummlngs-Brown ranch six miles west of this city. The ranch consists of 800 acres and Mr. Cummings will harvest grain from 600 acres next tall. Being among the first homestead ers In the famous Judith Basin coun try in Montana, Mr. Cummings can relate many Interesting incidents of the early development of that section. He went in .theje-iiefore the advent of the railroad and began breaking ; ground on his homestead preparatory to the first harvest. One day while engaged In plowing, Mr. Cummings saw- an automobile approaching his place, the first auto mobile he had ever seen. As it drew up to where he was working, a man stepped from the car. "How many acres do you own," asked the stange visitor, "and how many acres are you plowing." Mr. Cummings told him he had ta ken up a homestead there and was struggling under some difficulty. After asking the young farmer who and where his neighbors lived, the man from the automobile said, "Now you men in here go ahead and plow every acre you can and raise every possible bushel of grain. I have left considerable money down there In town with your banker and he will let you have any amount you may need. There will be a railroad In here before fall, so you will have no trouble getting your grain to mar Upon his departure the strange vis itor left word that his name was James J. Hill and that he was going to build a railroad through there to the Pacific coast in a few months. Farmer Cummings nearly fell over upon learning the identity of this fa mous raidroad and empire builder. But sure enough, the permanent sur vey was put through by May of that year and by October a new townslte had been laid off two miles from the Cummings ranch and the farmers hauled their grain from the fields di rect to the siding r.nd loaded the cars. From that time on, the devel opment of the Judith Basin country was rapid. Owing to the failing health of Mrs. Cummings, the family was forced to seek a lower altitude and they came to Oregon, locating In Salem. They lived In the Capitol City for eight years and during that time, Mr. Cum- mings said he had many opportuni ties to invest in Willamette Valley land, but ho thought the price per ac re entirely out of proportion to what could be produced on the land. After Mrs. Cummings had regained her health, they came to Morrow county and after four years of life on the farm hero, they wouldn't live any where else. Mr. Cummings believes that this county offers the greatest opportunity today for a man who wants to make the most on his invest ment. Low priced lands which pro duce as these do, and the low cost of farming, makes It er.sy for a man to get ahead. Mr. Cummings at one time farmed In North Dakota and all grain was handled in bulk there. He believes that Is the only system for grain handling and will adopt this method next year.

Any treasonable or unpatriotic talk should be reported without delay. The Government will not permit the enemies of the country within our gates to bring on a situation like the situation in Russia. The agents of the countries at war with the United States are not overlooking anything, however small, which will hinder the war operations. Hence, It behooves every citizen to do his duty and obey the law by reporting anything which shows any person In the light of a potential enemy. The officials will then take such action as the case seems to merit. When a state of war exists, many things are forbidden, which, in time of peace, would be L.

Americans are appealed to by the food administration to demon strate that a free people can voluntar ily save food stuffs enough to feed the allies and the neutral countries who must depend upon us. Do not think that this is a small matter. It Is a matter of the most vital Importance. The Oregon boys are now In France. Do you want them to go hungry when a little saving of wheat, meat, fat and sugar on your part will Insure them food enough? The slogan is, "Eat plenty, but do not waste. Substitute wherever you can to save wheat, meat, fats and sugar." Patriotism now means sacrifice. Thousands of our finest young men will sacrifice their lives for our country and for us. Let us sacrifice a little for them. S. E. NOTSON, District Attorney. RHEUMATISM ANTI-URIC. The famour ROOT and BERRY remedy for RHEUMATISM.. .
