Better rainfall .south ot the Snake
River is the secret of Oregon's good
showing. A peculiarity of the present
season is that the - lands usually;
classed as the best producers are
making the poorest showing, ! while
the light lands, due to a good rain
fall, are coming i along with 15
bushels an acre. Because of heavy
rains the heavy lands formed a crust
on top- that -was hard to break
through, and the fall sown grain did
not make Its usual showing. .
Central Oregon, the new district
now- being opened by-railroads, will
have 1,000,000 bushels more at har
vest than last year. This is chiefly
because of raw land being broken
up during the past year, as well as
the good showing of the light lands.

WELL PAVED STREETS
more than any other improvement,
are of great value to a community and
enhance the value of abutting property
