If the recent prophesy of the for est service, thit Oregon will at some1 future dnto bo Ihe greatest walnut growing state in the Union, comes true, (he same variety of trees that arc now to be found along tho new ly graded portion of Hiverside ave nue with their roots exposed to view may some time provide one of the hirgest sources of revenue of tins' commonwealth. Owing to the'demandfor the wood for the manufacture of furniture, thv avnilablo. supply in the east is fast diminishing nn already steps are being taken bv the United States for est service and by individuals to in duce fanners in Oiegon to plant wal nut trees along fences and in waste" ground near buildings. Black walnuts have proven espe cially adnptnole to Oregon, and nil of the most successful growers oj walnuts are now using the blncli walnut as a root upon which to graft the nut-producing variety. A number of excqllent walnut trees arc now to be found along Cciu Iral and Hiverside avenues, bul those along the latter thoroughfard will not survive the coming summer unless steps nre tnken to undo tin dnmage done them by the rcgraders. The forest service has imported 8500 pounds of black walnut seed for planting in Oregon, as well as 81. '14 pounds of red oak acorns for the same purpose. ' Born.

All have increased in population, pro gress chess and prosperity. Ashland greets the new year with several miles of additional pave ment, with U beautiful park, with the fine Elks temple nnd other sub stantial business structures com pleted and more under way nnd planned. Nineteen hundred 'uml eleven promises to be a banner ycv.r in the progress of the most benu'; fnl of the Itoguo Itiver valley cities. Central Point has made phenoii ennl progress and promises in tin course of a few years to build lo Arediord's boundaries. Probably half a million dollars has been ex pended in vnrious improvement--, among theso being concrete "blocks and stone buildings. A hew muni cipal water system hns been com pleted. Jacksonville has voted bonds for the construction of a water system, work on which is nlrcndy under W'ny. Streets have been improved und the quaint obi metropolis of dnys gone by shows renewed life nh.l energy. Woodpile has forged abend by leaps and bounds. A new brick schoolhoiise has been completed, ue'.v stores have been established and many new residences built. Minus have bedu reopened, neV stamp mills installed, the town incorporated tu.d business humming generally. Gold Hill is also profiting by the revival of mining. Lime is being burnt in Inrge quantities nnd shipped by the carload. A riilroad is par tially completed to the timber bolt west of the town, nnd it will jnob ably be finished the coming year. Talent reflects the progress 6T the valley. Many now buildings biuo bep,n eroded and the choice "orchoid lands surrounding the town grabbed by investors and planting on a largo scale is the order of Iho day. Tins town has been incorporated during the year. , Kagle Point boasts of a fine de pot and a. new townsito has reefeniJv been platted.

Now build ings ate plahned and in lyeparaUon for the future tho town him oi-gan-ized by incorporation. Phoenix, while not as ambitious as its neighboring towns, has mnde a steady growth and reflects tho pros perity gained by intensive farming, gardening and berry culture, of which it is tho center of southern Or egon. Tolo has perhaps mado greater .strides in proportion than no v. Tim town now boasts of a depot, u brick nnd tilo factory, a lumber mill and a ermiito quarry. Fully u score of buildings, including stores, hnvo been erected and moro are under construction. To make a long story short, every locality has improved and grown .is never before and they hnvo all only commenced. rooms nnd a parlor for ladies.
