The comniissioii found that the increases was not un reasonable mid vacated the order of Huspenbioii previously entered. DR. C. T. SMITH, in his admirable and common-sense talk to tho voters at tho Natatoi'Uun Tuesday evening, mentioned the faet that legislative appropriations hail in creased from loss than two millions to nearly seven mil lions in the past few years, and that nearly one-seventh of tho money appropriated by the last legislature went to the Oregon Agricultural college, lie praised the college work and suggested its extension to such practical purposes as solving the marketing problem, but questioned whether taxpayers were rccoiviuii full value for the enormous ex penditures, citing the eastern Oregon experiment station in Union county as an example of O. A. 0. finance. The history of the Union experiment station is as fol fel fol eows: Years ago an appropriation was made by the legis lature for the construction of an insane asvlum in eastern Oregon. A tract of (M0 acres of the, finest land in the Grande Rondo valley was purchased by the state. After wards the supreme court declared the appropriation un constitutional and the land was turned over o the O. A. C. for experimental purposes. Seventy-five acres of this fer tile tract has been utilized for grass experiments, the other 565 acres farmed or leased. Notwithstanding the fact that no better bind can be found in the state of Oregon than this state farm, and that farmers, with much smaller tracts, in the vicinity have grown wealthy tanning; that the revenue derived from the 565 acres has been used, the station has been far from Jbcing self-sustaining. Annual appropriations have been sought lrom tnc legislature aim secured, since iuli, $7500 a year has been appropriated, in addition to the revenue irom the state s land. This experiment station has been conducted by Dr. James Withyeombc, republican nominee for governor, and his son, Robert Withyeombe, has had regular employment there at a good salary, yet nothing has becb accomplished, so far as it is possible to learn, to justify this expenditure. The people in the immediate vicinity have not only failed to profit by this station, but the state at large is hardly aware of its existence. Properly conducted, the proceeds of the 5(55 acres of the richest-soil in Oregon ought, to more than pay for planting to grasses tho remaining seventy-five acres. "What kind of farming is it that calls for the expenditure of $7500 a year in addition to the proceeds from 505 acres to take care of seventy-five acres in grass? It is surely a fanning of taxpayers, if not of land and a good thing for the Withyeombe 's father and son. "Whilcdi the subject of experiment stations, a glance at some of the other state stations will prove instructive in the explanation of why taxes are high. An experiment station on the Umatilla irrigation pro ject costs the state $3000 a year and tho national govern ment $3000 a year, a total of $6000. Forty acres was set aside by the federal government for this "station. It is conducted wholly by the Agricultural college, and farmers' across the road and in the immediate vicinity of this sta tion, although in debt and having to find a dollar wherever possible to get it, in the improvement oi land, have sur passed many fold in many instances the work on this sta tion. Further, the reports issued jointly by the man-in charge of the station and a man in the federal service, have done the Umatilla irrigation project more harm than tho station itself could do good iji many years. The station nt Moro, costing the state $2500 a year for the purpose of demonstration as to the kind of cereals especially adapted to that community, is such a failure that the farmers refuse to even visit it in that county. In fact, the only station in the state that seems to be appreci ated" by the people in the community in which it is located is the one in Harney county. The experiment station in Jackson county is still an experiment except to tho taxpayers. How much practical aid it has been to the valley is a matter for the farmers themselves to say. The Oregon Agricultural college recently printed at public expense a beautiful book bound in Russia leather, entitled, the "Orange.' The printing is in colors, requir ing several plates for each page. Special etching adorns the borders, while countless half-tones and illuminated in itials bear witness to an expenditure that must have to talled $10,000 of the taxpayers' money. Its frontispiece is a fulsome and flattering testimonial' to Dv. Withyeombe. As Dr. "Withyeombe has, since he resigned as state vet erinarian, been for fourteen years a right bower of tho O. A. C, lobbying through many of its appropriations, which now total one-seventh of the state's enormous ex penditures, the 0. A. C.'s delight at the prospect of having him governor to aid by his "harmony program" its money grabbing campaign, perhaps'justifies a ten thousand dol lar testimonial in his behalf at public expense. No experiment here!

A few of us signed up for water two years ago, and many more hung hack and cried graft, mid refused to sign up because, each one could n't draw a contract to suit his in dividual notion. They, in common with the rest of us, have lost more on tho crop this year, for lack of water,, than the fifty dolllars iter ucru the lloguelands company asked tor installing the irrigation plant. There uro thousands of acres ol lemon groves in this valley in which tho water system has cost several times as much nor aero as the oiiipany ask. the largo lima beau ranches lie re have elaborate water system of iindergiound concretn conduits, costing a mint of money. They are leaping the benefit now in threshing a crop that runs up to forty sacks per acre anil belling at l or fl cents per pound. Tho walnut crop, also irrigated, is being marketed now at Hi to 'JO cents er pound. I suw u load of nearly four tons come in town a few days ago that brought 'JO cents us that is the price for budded nuts. It is to Jic hoped that your people will not wait for u repetition of this season's experience, but will sign ui their acreage and lot Mr. Sullivan get busy. C. Wl POTTKK, Santa Paula. Cal.
