Salem Meet.
Enthusiastic confidence In the abil­
ity of the irrigated lands in the
Hermiston country as a place to con
duct dairying and poultry raising in
comparison with districts along the
coast in Oregon and Washington was
expressed by II. J. Ott, president
and S. H. Barnard, manager, of the
Farm Bureau Co-opertive of Hermis­
ton, following their return from
tour requiring six days that took
them to within a tew miles of the
Caadian border. They were accom­
panied by C. E. Baker of Hermiston
and A. E. McFarland of Umatilla.
On their trip the two officials of
the local co-operative studied the
poultry and dairy businesses as they
are conducted in the communities
visited and also inspected warehouses
of feed handling concerns with the
idea of securing any information
needed in the event of increasing
the facilities of the local mill.
Suggestions Are Made
In talks made before the commer­
cial club at its meeting Tuesday and
in an interview granted The Herald,
the two men had the following re­
commendations and observations to
make as a result of the trip:
The Hermiston basket ball team de­
feated the Echo team 47 to 22 in
the district tournament at Milton
last Thursday. The Echo team was
weakened by the loss of their center
and a forward caused by illness.
Hermiston’s subs started the game
and soon lead by a large margin.
In their second game the locals drew
the fast Adams five, that team hav­
ing defeated Ione by a large score
The locals were in the lead at the
half and at the end of the third
quarter but the gritty Adamg team
forged ahead in the last few sec­
onds by sinking several long ones in
succession.
The game ended 27 to 30 in favor
of Adams. By losing to Adams the
locals were eliminated from further
playing in the tournament. The game
waj fast throughout and was one of
the best of the tournament.
The Helix team eliminated the
Adams five and won the right to play
Mac Hi for the championship, Mac
Hl having eliminated Pendleton
Mac Hi won the championship of
this district by defeating the Helix
five in a close and interesting game.

MUSSOLINI WARNS
AUSTRIAN PREMIER
Rome. — Austrian manifestations
against Italian rule in the former
Austrian Tyrol district were “intol­
erable,” Premier Mussolini qaid in
the chamber of deputies.
"This is the last time I shall speak
on the Tyrol question,” Mussolini add­
ed. “Next time it will be deeds."
Mussolini was replying to speeches
made by Austrian Chancellor Seipel
and various members of the Vienna
parliament. The Italian minister had
been recalled as a protest against the
statements.
Mussolini charged Austria with in­
gratitude, pointing out the help Italy
had given her since her dismember­
ment under the World war treaty.
“I am speaking for the world; not
for Austria alone,” said Musoltni.
“We are'not Austria’s pupils. We will
not admit of interference in our home
affairs. Governor Fuller of Massa­
chusetts has given us a fine example
of how to resist foreign Interference
in the Sacco-Vanzetti case.”
The chamber was packed and the
premier was interrupted at times by
cheering.
The Hermiston district should con­
centrate its energies on dairying and
poultry raising as the two projects
particularly suited to this country.
Greater volume of production in
the poultry business should be se-.
cured here.
Greater attention to standardized
equipment for housing and handling
poultry should should be given by
growers to reduce the losses of occa­
sional seasons when extreme tempera­
tures, either hot or cold, are experi­
enced.
More silos should be constructed
and in operation by dairy men as a
means of reducing cash out of pocket
production costs.

Word Brought to Hermiston
By County Judge.
Work on re-surfacing the Diagonal
road between Hermiston and the
Columbia school house will start
within a few days,, according to a
statement made by County Judge
Schannep who was in Hermiston
Monday.
“We are getting a plant together
and will handle our own gravel for
the work," the judge said. "We
should have been on this job sooner,
but It has been impossible to get to
it any earlier.”
Recently some grading was done
on the road by the county crew. The
new work will consist of an entirely
new surface. Efforts
have
been
made by both country and town or­
ganizations to get the work done for
several months.

STEWART INDICTED IN
SENATE OIL CASE
Washington, D. C.—The ninth pend­
ing criminal action growing out of the
senate’s investigation of the Teapot
Dome-Elk Hills leases was begun in
federal court when Robert W. Stewart,
chairman of the board of Standard Oil
of Indiana, was indicted for refusing
to answer questions asked by the Tea­
pot Dome committee.
Stewart was charged by the grand
jury with having refused to answer
questions concerning the disposition
of liberty bond oil profits of Continen­
tal Trading company. The committee,
seeking to trace >3,080,000 of the prof­
its, some of which reached ex-Secre-
tary Fall In a >233,000 payment from
Harry F. Sinclair, asked Stewart if
he knew anyone who received any of
the bonds and If he had discussed the
bond transactions with Sinclair.
The Standard Oil man refused to
answer the two questions on two dif­
ferent occasions and was indicted on
one count for each refusal.
Trial of H. M. Blackmer, missing
Teapot Dome witness, began here with
the oil man’s attorneys arguing In
behalf of their motion to dismiss the
contempt charge against him. Black­
mer is still in Paris. If he loses the
present case he, likewise, loses his

Notwithstanding the spring runoff

Ing the early winter months, the
Herfnlkton district as usual, will
have an abundance of water for the
season’s applications, according to
E. D Martin, district manager.
"Another 10 days run will fill the
reservoir to capacity,” Mr. Martin
said yesterday. “It Is still undecid­
ed just when water will be turned
Into ditches, but the supply will be
ready when weather conditions dic­
tate it is time to start. Indications
now are that there will be some
water in part of the- system by
March 15, or shortly thereafter, and
heads for use in Irrigating will prob­
ably be turned In for different sec­
tions between March 15 and April

according to H. E. Hitt, chairman,
and residents are expected to make a
complete clean-up of their premises.
“It is satisfactory to have as much
work done before Wednesday as pos­
sible,” said Chairman Hitt, "but the
committee members think the best
way 18 for every person possible to
devote every minute of the day he
can spare to cleaning up. In that
way a great deal more should be
accomplished."
The two other members of the com­
mittee are H. T. Fraser and Dr. F. V.
Prime.
The city will pay for truck hire to
pick up any rubbish not burnable,
that is either sacked or bo^Ml}, Mr.
