YOUR BANK CAN HELP YOU FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner Oregon Low Freight, New Horse Power, Great Seaway But Few Benefits. By WILLIAM B. McKINLEY. Editor's Note. Senator William B. McKinley, of Illinois, a member of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, has taken a great interest in the pro posed opening of the St.. Lawrence river to ocean traffic. Through that interest he has made extensive investigations into every angle of the possibilities, cost labor, benefits to all classes, de velopment of new power, et cetera. His article will impress you with the great ness of the project, perhaps may make you an enthusiastic supporter of the move. Briefly, the advocates of the St. Law- rence seaway propose to improve the channel of that river between Lake. On tario and Montreal to a depth of thirty feet, so that lake carriers can reach Montreal, and ocean freighters can enter and depart from the Great Lakes, using the Wetland Canal between Lake On tario and Lake Erie, and the other con necting channels to Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. They ask that the plans recommend ed by the International Board of En gineers and approved by the Interna tional Joint Commission be carried out under a treaty between the United States and Canada, and legislation by Congress and by Parliament. This plan contemplates a dam in the river between New York and Ontario, which will flood rapids and incidentally develop about 1,600,000 hydro-electric horse power to be shared equally by the two countries; also three canals aggre gating 33 miles in length, one of about eight miles side-pass the dam, the sec ond about fifteen miles long to connect Lake St. Louis and Lake St. Francis which are part of the river in the Prov ince of Quebec, and the third of about ten miles around the LaChine rapids near the entrance to the harbor of Mon treal. Some Canal Figures. Altogether these three canals will have seven locks, each 850 feet long, 80 feet wide, with 30 feet of water on the miter sill. The canals will be made at least 25 feet deep at once and deepened to 30 feet under the engineer's plan. The estimated cost is $250,000,000 for the 25 foot depth, and (18,000,000 additional to deepen the canal to 30 feet. These three canals are in Canadian territory, the one around the Interna tional Dam being in Ontario and the other two in the Province of Quebec. Beyond the 45th parallel the river is wholly within Canada where the United States have no riparian rights, and therefore the water flow in that section. estimated at 2,500,000 horsepower, is left untouched as a natural and bountiful heritage of Canada to be developed in the future as her people may determine, Under a treaty made with Great Brit ain in 1871, the United States were granted the free use of the St. Lawrence river forever, and Canada was given free use of all of the Great Lakes and their connecting channels. Canal Recommendations. Canada is now building at an expense of $60,000,000 or more, a new Welland canal with a depth of 25 feet and locks of 30 feet on the miter sill. This will be free to the vessels of the United States, as the old one is now. The International Joint Commission recommends that the construction of this canal be borne in part by the Uni ted States government, and that the nav igation cost of the St. Lawrence be borne by the two countries in proportion to their use of the waterway. These are details to be adjusted by treaty or legis lation. The proponents of the St. Lawrence project claim that the power incident ally developed will be sufficient to pay the interest charge, upkeep, and ultim ately to liquidate the construction bonds. Whether the proceeds shall be used or not is a question for Congress. They contend that the annual saving to producer and consumer, through cheaper transportation, will equal or exceed the total cost of the project. Standard Waterways. They feel that this development of the St. Lawrenoe would standardise waterways and safe transfers just as we- did with the narrow gauge by standard ising railways half a century ago. They are convinced that while the West will be greatly benefitted by the St. Lawrence seaway which will provide cheaper transportation for the products to market, the East will be doubly blest, for an addition to tha cheaper trans portation of food products to its ports and better means of reaching the heart of the continent with the output of its mills, its industries will be immeasura bly quickened by alectrie energy. The ton-mileage of the Middle West substantially doubles every decade, and railway terminals are already inade quate. The railway companies cannot secure eapital and make improvements fast eneugh to remove or prevent ter minal congestion. Unless some other outlet is provided, the West must slow down, and to retard its development would mean a hunger-strike in the East where its products find their readiest market. Some Caaal Benefits. When Western products reach Buf falo they are nearer Liverpool than when they get to New York. Why, then, should they at great expense go by rail or canal 500 miles-out of their coarse, when they can be water-bourne in ocean freighters direct to their destination? The advocates of this project stand for modern, economic methods. The ox- cart was not to be despised in its day, but its mission has been fulfilled. The I overland stage coach waa once a prince ' ly way to travel, but the railway has driven it from the field. Columbus found a continent with his little wind-blown Caravel, but most folks prefer the ocean liner now. We used to load and unload boats with a wheelbarrow and shovel. but labor-saving devices have come in recent years. Freight cargoes were for- merly transferred at every railway junc l tion. but through-shipments were soon 1 discovered to be cheaper and economic law at last prevailed. Why should not these same principles be applied to our lake and ocean com merce? The producer does not retain for himself all the benefits that flow from new inventions and cheaper methods of production; so, too, the saving to be Baby Wants Name, Not Gold, says mother VANDERBILT JJ j' M f ........ .. ....... Poem by f nek him MISS EVAN BUR.ROWS FONTAINE i-0 r 1 kH AVISS AlARIE NORTON The son of multi-millionaire Harry Payne Whitney, Cornetiuj Vanderbilt Whitney, has been asked to give his name to the lo-month-old baby of Miss Evan Burrows Fontaine, noted Oriental dancer of New York. The action was started when the engagement of young Whitney to Miss Marie Norton, society girl of' New York, was announced. The dancer claims young Whit 'ney wanted to marry her while he was student at Yale but she refused as theirs was a true love match and she didn't want to hurt his career. He grew cold, she says, when she told him of the baby, which she now calls Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Jr. It's a name not gold that my baby wants, she says. Miss Norton says her friendship for young Whitney is unchanged. HUE SWEET PfE Uncle Si it weather "Profit" Terry Gilkison jujtochteh PL. .-A YEP, I'VE GOT TO 00 IT'.

Live Cecil Items of Interest view ranch were ealling on their Cecil friends en Sunday. Miss Gertrude Pettyjohn of Morgan was calling on her friends In Cecil on Saturday. Miss Orpha Williams Is visiting at the home of Mrs. Geo. Krebs for a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Zenneth Logan were vis iting in lone on Sunday. J. H. Imus of lone honored Cecil with a visit on Wednesday. The ."Mayor" accompanied by his daughter, Miss Anna, and also Miss Mil dred Henriksen of Strawberry ranch were in Heppner Tuesday and Wednes day. The mayor was the Cecil repre sentative at the John Day Irrigation meeting. The young ladies were told on leaving to see that the mayor landed safely home without a blemish and they surely carried out their instructions for the mayor is now the busiest man on Willow creek in the midst of his second crop of hay. Cecil was well represented in the Egg City the past week, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Krebs, Jack Hynd, T. ii. Lowe, John Krebs, Walter Pope, Herbert Sommer feldt all have been business callers and we also noticed Misses A. C. and M. H. Lowe driving their new car. W. A. Thomas, old-timer of Cecil, now a resident of lone, arrived on Saturday to pay a visit amongst his friends. W. A. says he just had to come to make sure that Cecil was still on the map for he had been told Morgan had envious ideas in view concerning Cecil. Miss Ruth May who has been visiting in Wasco for several weeks arrived in Cecil on Tuesday and will spend some time with her parents at Lone Star before leaving for Portland. R. E. Duncan, the honey man of Busy Bee ranch, and his daughter Miss Mil dred were visitors in Cecil on Friday. R. E. says he expects to have a bumper crop of honey this year. Misses Dot and Dimple, twin daugh ters of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Crabtree of Dotheboys Hill are visiting with their grandmother, Mrs. Linsley at Black Horse for a week or two. Herman Havercost left Cecil on Thursday to help Dwight Misner with the harvest on his Daybreak ranch near one. Dwight is not very sanguine over his wheat yield so far. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Krebs and Miss Eleanor Kufuner, all of The Last Camp, were visiting Mrs. A. Henriksen at Wil- ow Creek ranch on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Karl Farnsworth and family left Rhea on Tuesday for a short vacation which will be spent with friends at Hood River. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hynd and family of Butterby Flats spent Sunday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Henriksen at Strawberry ranch. Mr. and Mrs. S.

Chemical analysis of Oregon legumes that will give farmers a better know ledge of their fertiliser requirements and assure them a place in their farm ing systems are nearing completion at the agricultural college experiment sta tion. The investigations will determine the mineral content of the leading Oregon legumes, and develop information that will be of vajue to livestock feeders. "Legumes such as alfalfa, red clover, alsike, vetches and peas and beans are not only high in feeding value but excel lent rejuvenators of soils," said J. S. Jones, agricultural chemist at the sta tion in charge of the investigations. "They have special importance in agri culture as they can be innoculated with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Continuous growing of small grains has given west ern Oregon much rundown lands, which a wider knowledge and use of legumes will do a great deal to correct." Many samples of legumes used gener ally for feeding or soil renewal have been carefully analyzed to determine feeding and fertility content and value. The analyses will be followed by nu tritional study to determine their feed ing value. No work in animal nutrition has yet been conducted in Oregon, and these studies will prove valuable to live stock men, Professor Jones believes. A summary of the work on legumes and hay Is expected to be ready for dis-. trlbution in a few weeks. It pays to buy good lubricating oils.

Matthews is a Presbyterian minister In the. First Church at Seattle, Wash.) The Presbyterian Church has been one of the greatest forces for liberty, education, and evangelism America has ever had, I think. It was the au thor of modern representative Repub lican government. I think America owes much of her government to the Presbyterian Church. She has been one of the gov ernment's greatest examples and most powerful defender. In the old days the Presbyterian church's adherence to doctrines and principles, added to the strength, character, and integrity of American citizenship. In these lat ter days, it seems to me, she has come upon perilous times. FIRST. The " Presbyterian Church commits a folly and sin if she per mits Infamous heretics who deny the deity of Christ and the infallibility of the Bible to stay in her ranks and to occupy her pulpits. I insist she has no right to allow such enemies 'of God, of home, and of government to carry her name, I think a Presby terian minister who denies the deity of Christ or the infallible Word of Tev MA. MATTHEWS D.D. U-.D. God and continues to occupy a Pres byterian pulpit is drawing his money under falsa pretenses, We have all taken oath to teach the deity of Christ and the infallibility of God's Word, and for that we receive posi tion and compensation. SECOND The Presbyterian Church commits a folly when she becomes a meal ticket for faddist and place hunters who constantly devise schemes and plans and organisations to increase their power, patronage and patrimony. They live and work exclusively that they may subsist up on such efforts, THIRD The Presbyterian Church commits a folly when she permits her enemies to begin to build machinery and centralise her government, there by detracting from her power. I don't believe Presbyterians will submit to centralized power nor to dictation by agents and machines. They crushed that kind of power once, 1 hops they will crush it again, It must be crushed in governments and It must be erushed in the church. Tha Presbyterian Church should return to the sovereignity and power and supremacy of her Presbyterian government and to the control by hsr presbyteries. Hear my pleal Awake, grand old Church of liberty, righteousness and evangelism.
