Trout And Rev. C. C. Hulet

obscurity last night at a representative meeting of farm- I

Once before, about two months ago, Malin farmers
expressed themselves unanimously in favor of the en-1
trance of the Northern lines. Last night they reiterated I
their feelings forcibly by resolving unanimously that the I
Oregon Trunk should be supported and that the Klam

activities in this direction.
Ostensibly the meeting aj one in
which all the farmers of the district
were to gat ier together (Or 'be pur

own argument against the Northern

Thus did CbUrles A. Hart, attor

"When we annoumced our Inten

any more railroads." he pointed oil.
"Tho said It would be P lly to

justify.
