State of Oregon. It is a terri

more families, but the people
there are handicapped in tie
matter of K'ttintf transportation
and of roads leading to nnd from
the vulley. Imperially is this so
from the upper or Wrnonia end
uf the valley. From St. Helens
toVernotiia it is about 22 miles,
and yet to jret over therewith
ary comfort or safety it rcjuires
about 10 or r) mib'8 travel,
around bv way of f'latskanie or
or else by way of Washington
county. That a Rood passable
road with easy grades could be
built from Trenholtn to Vernonia
ii the statement of men who
know the country and the con

years attending to his duties in
stead of lecturing around over
the country at so much per lec
ture. During the past week there
has been at least 10 inquiries for
houses to rent. There are peo
ple coming in all the time and no
houses to rent. A number of
families have secured tents and
P'tched them on leased lots and
are no living in them. Every

foneor two which have been
vacant only a week. Rents are
