Within the next couple of years shipments from Kosebiire are ex pected to reaen from ''" to t"" cars, under ref rieerat ion. Oregon broccoli is rated in the Kastern mar kets as the highest grade of winter cauliflower. This is the iiies.-afe of cheer for .Southern Ureeon brought to Port land by M. K. Whitehead, peneral a sent of the Pacific Eruit Express, op'-ratiL.s the iced, ventilated and in-.-iilat'd car service of the .Southern Pacific and t'nion Paeiric systems. Mr. Whitehead has been away at tendine the convention of the West ern Eruit Jobbers' Assn., at San Antonio. Texas. With .Mrs. White bead he extended his trip to the At lantic seaboard. ' This season's shipment of Oregon broccoli will move to Kastern mar kets about March 1." said Mr. White head. " Six to seven heads of 'win ter cauliflower' fill a crate and each crate will net the I'mpqua Valley Fruitgrowers' I'nion It is a profitable crop and more will be trown near Rosebure from now on. Oregon broccoii taks first rank in the I nited States. "A heavy moveii.ent of Oregon po-! tafoes has taken place since January i 1. the shipments from Portland and; points south to California having i reached lo'S cars. "Everywhere in the Fast the peo ple are showing a militant spirit in' anticipation of the I'nited States mixing in war with Uermanv and her allies.

A number of letters, which are among the most interesting histori cal documents discovered in this city for many years, were revealed at the iocal I". S. land office today, where preparations are now being made for the removal of their quarters to the new Federal building. Although it will be several months before the new building is in readi ness to receive the various Govern ment offices here, old files have been ransacked at the land office and the records of over 6o years have been put in order so that systematic ar rangement may be installed with the chance in location. Among these in teresting documents are the records of the establishment of the fir?t land office here, which was located at Winchester, and that authorizing the removal later from Winchester to Koseburg. Tney w ere written in tiie excellent handwriting of the Govern ment officials of that lime and are still as easily read as on the day they were received. One letter dated October 11, 155, denoted that instructions for open ing the offices at Winchester would be forwarded as soon as they were prepared. On March 13. l5fi. the instructions were sent, and the let ter of that date states that live boxes had been sent containing the tract and record books and that sales would be recorded as soon as made. The commissioner was Thomas Aid rich, in the administration of Presi dent Hm hanan. and L. T. Mostir was io-al register. The latter was a well know n resident here, and Mosher street was named in his honor. Another letter. Gated September 16. 151. was discovered, which con tained the order for transferring the office from Winchester to Koseburg. These documents are being given1 considerable attention and will be . careiuny preserved by tne present j r. uu iciais.
