Oregon Makes Gain in Population ' Certainly Oregon baa no reason to be Iih-hIihIhm with the progress being made in populating the state, since the report recently issued by the State l.nbur Commissioner at Salem indicates that there are now 122, H22 more rai- denta in Oregon than when the 1910 cencua waa compiled. Four yearn ago there were 672,705 people in the state, an compar d with 79",687 at this time. The report waa compiled from the en rollment and attendance figures of the hi In.,, l department in each county. The reort indicates that the growtn in population ia somewhat I 'patchy" throughout the atate, some counties have made remarkable advances while others have grown but little, while in several instances there seems to have been a loaa. Multnomah county shows the largest gain, 50,922, while Hood River, Joaephine, Morrow and Sherman counties show a population slightly mailer than four years ago. Malheur county ahowa a gain of 5,312, over alxty per cent.

Fruitland Boy's Corn Club Meet The boy's Corn Club organized under the auspices of Fruitland Grange, with H. T. Lewis as adviser and manager, closed the season Friday night with an interesting program and the awarding of prizes, followed by a box aupper. Much interest has centered the past season in this band of boys, who have demonstrated that as good corn can be raised in Payette Valley as any com sec tion of the middle west, with as great a yield as the following figures will prove : Each of the nine boys read his essay on '"How I Raised My Acre of Corn," touching on preparation of aoil, ferti lizing, seed selection, cultivation, irri gation, and harvesting, each being awarded a certain percentage on the essay, the highest being 15 points won by Lafe Royston, who also had the highest yield, U0 bushels of wellmatur ed corn, scoring 99 points and was awarded first prize of 40 on yield and second prize of $3 on best 10 earn ex hibited at the Payette Corn Show. The next two prize winners' corn was not so well matured and stood a mois ture test which reduced the yield. Theodore Smith received second prize of $25 with a yield of 110 bushels. Floyd Spainhower waa awarded third prize of $17.60 and first on best 10 ears, of 15. Richard Yost won fourth prize $12.50 on 87a bushels. Lambert Young won third prize on best 10 ears of $2 and $1.1 on yield. The other four boys, Earl Fiaher. Clarence Strawn, Amsey Bollinger and Hillsr.l rigor, had an average yield of 70 bushels, and received prizes ranging from $6 to $2. The prize money was furnlahad by the Payette Commercial Club, $100, and Denny & Co., $2fl, and was apportioned in thia manner as a reward for pains taking effort, the boys' acres showing the best quality and yield in the valley. In the future it will become a Pomona movement and operated to include a number of clubs. Hoy Hill. 'it by Dog hah Accident Claude Oliver who was so badly bit ten by Harry T.
