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.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cnrval-
11s, Jim. 12. 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."

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.
