Western Land & Irrigation Company Changes Hands All the property of the Western Land & Irrigation Co. was sold Dec. 18 to the Central Trust & Safe Deposit Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. The sale followed a foreclosure suit brought by the trust company, which held a first mortgage on the holdings of the irrigation com pany. In addition to all the ditches, head gates and water rights of the company, six tnousand acres of land is included in the sale. The purchase price was 1100,000. It Is understood that the purchasing company will operate and maintain the ditch In good shape, and it is stated that the change of ownership will prob ably operate to the advantage of the land owners under this ditch. The sale does not effect the status of Individuals who bought land from the old com pany. Several Echo people who had claims against the Irrigation company, totaling about 130,000 will lose their se curity by the sale, however. These claims were secured by a second mort- rw fr'arra .-rouat llouk. A new eiiitiuii of the ur?Kn f.n:n act omit book has j jat le-';i isnje.l l. the u. A.

V!'y not try selling sur plus alfalfa liny through products of a lalry herd? "Alfalfa Is selling at a much lower price than for several years." says K. B. Pitts, professor of dairy extension at O. A. O. "In fact the market is glutted In some districts with no outlet In sight. "A material start was made In dairy ing In some of the alfalfa growing dis tricts Just prior to the war, but with higher prices for hay and a labor short- Hue thero was a stampede to sell the dairy cow nnd take what seemed like easier money In rnlsing and selling hay Sow with conditions agnln returning to normnl the dairy cow looms on the hor laon as tho host channel for marketing this Important crop. "The alfalfa grower who kept his cows received good prices for hay fed them, and now has a position of van tngo ns he still has a good market for his crops." A good cow yields 60 to 75 pounds of hntterfnt from one ton of alfalfa hny eaten, and In addition releases 1000 pounds of skim milk that Is vnluable as feed for calves, swine and poultry. Marketing the liny In concentrated form of dairy, pork and poultry pro ducts saves handling nnd shipping. It Is true conservation, Professor Fltts points out. "Good cows can now be bought at reiisniinblo fliriires," ho declares, "and alfalfa men should give serious consid eration to this opportunity for building up a permanent market fnr their sur plus hay nnd at the same time add a new Industry to tholr community by engiigliig In the dairy business. The monlhly pay check will prove a real as set, and the farm will become Increas ingly fcvtllo." Total Disbursements from General Fund $46,169.78 Disbursements from Jtoad Funds.

Crawford REAL ESTATE Heppner Oregon The Telephone Company and Wages Salaries and wages constitute 72; i of the expenses of this company. Out of even- dollar spent by the telephone company, 72 cents is turned over to its employees in the for.ni of compensation. It is our purpose to retain competent and experienced employees. An efficient and content ed organization is the main factor in good service. The deficit in earnings which we have experienced in Oregon has been largely augmented by necessary increases to our employees.- it will be of interest to our Oregon patrons to know what our increased ex pense for salaries and wages in Oregon has been since 1916 as shown in one of tho exhibits filed with the Public Service Commission in connec tion with our recent application for an increase in telephone rates. Increase in wages of Plant employees, present over li'lti $ 307,000 Increase in wages of Traffic (operating) employees, present over l!l(i I is 1.000 Increase in wages of Commercial employees, present over 191 ii 9S.000 Total annual increase in wages $1,SSG,000 Although these large increases in wages have been made they rep resent approximately a 00' ' increase over pre-war wages, a compared with increases of over 100' l in many other trades and occupations re quiring no greater skill or preparation on the part of the worker. We do not think our employees' wages should be reduced under present conditions or under conditions now possible to forecast. The PACIFIC TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
