El'KI-X SAYS THE FIRST CARLOAD .OF THE 1'ltOKlCT WILL LEAVE ItOSEBllMi FOIt CHICAJO LATE TOMORROW CiOOl) J'RH'ES l'UEDKTKD, CALIFORNIA CROP IS EXHAUSTED Mr. Kckel Is Of the Opinion That the Douglas County Crop Will Ht Sold With DilliiuUy May Ship l'J. ( a is. That approximately li'i carloads of broccoli will be shlped from Douglas County this season to the Eastern markets, was the predic tion made here this morning by K. S. Eckles, representative of John Nix & Company, wholesale commis sion merchants of Chicago. Mr. Eckles arrived in Koseburg about u week ago and has since been mak ing arrangements to handle the broccoli of this vicinity. The first carload of broccoli will probably leave the local warehouse iff the I'tnpqua Valley Fruit Union tomorrow evening, according to Mr. Eckles. Scattering shipments of the product began to arrive there early today from the rural districts and by noon tomorrow it is believed the first car will be ready for consign ment. Other cars will follow as soon as the product can be crated and brought to this city. Although the season has been somewhat backward. Mr. Eckles be lieves the Eastern market is in good condition, and it is his opinion that little, if any, difficulty will be encountered in disposing of the Douglas County crop at figures sat is factory to the growers. The Cali fornia crop, which usually reaches the market about two weeks earlier l ban the Douglas County product. has been disposed of and the peo ple of the East are now awaiting the receipt of the I'mpnua Val broccoli. This year's market made more certain, according to Mr. Eckles, for the reason that othm vegetables are late in maturing and will not be ready to harvest for several weeks. Practically all of the Douglas County brocyoll will be handled b John Nix & Company, in accordance with a contract entered Into hen some weeks ago. YOCAL CONCERTS WILL BE FEATURED AT THE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR Plans for a mass rhorus on vi'i-amla of the Klks iiiim-Hns at the tin- Cornet' of Juckinin and Lane str"n with the Oregon Auric-lilt in al Col lete hand In the court In-law, will liiobalily he aiming the features li he introduieil at this year's Straw herrv Carnival. The concert will hv hrief. and will not last longer than half an hour, raniiliar songs will ho rendered, such as -'America The Star Spangled Manner," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Coliimliia Hie (lem of the Ocean.' and "Home Sweet Home." A Koselmrg song now being comoosed, will also he among the numbers. Miss Josephine Moorhead. i-hairnian of the general committee, will train the school voices. Prof. Arundel will probably be asked to direct the chorus, and Mis I!. M. Cox. of Sutherlin. will he invited to sing a solo. The community sings have proven terv delightful in other cities, and should be a success here. II is ex peited that the Oregon Agricllltllra College band will also be a feature of this year's carnival. It was stated lodav that plans for the carnival arc progressing nicely, and it Is believed this year's event will far surpass in interest all orevious carnivals held here. 0- YOU CAN'T FIND ANY .

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM SAM JOSEPHSON, AT ROUNDUP, MONTANA In his new position as Commercial :iub secretary at Koumiup, Mon ana, Sam S, Josephson, formerly of his city, seems to have entered tully uto the spirit of boosting for his lo amy, lu a recent letter to Joseph .Uicelli, just received here, he says: Koundup, Mont., March 211, 1 y 17. Dear Joe: Am enclosing bank statements of he three Koundup banks. Not bad or a towu of this size, is it? The president of the First National has tuthorized us to make the statement hat he will loan the money to any armer to purchase registered dairy itock, if he will raise five acres of lay for every cow. The current rate of Interest is 10 and 12 per cent. Hut several farm loan companies are perating here now and lending uoney at eight per cent and doing a lot of business. This is certainly a rent country, and the longer 1 am tore the better 1 like it. There is uoney here, and people are ready to to something when the chance shows up, instead or just talking about it. One man hauled in a load ot pota toes here the other day and got a heck for $342, nearly 7000 pounds. File stores pay cash for produce or whatever they buy. Hay is selling it $:U retail and they can't get enough. Onions nre l.:i cents, and lour $12. HO a barrel, made here ii! ioundup. Carpenters have raised their scale to $7, and helpers get $-1.50, but you have to belong to the inion. The minimum for lady clerks $t5 and for men Of course. living is high. A house like we had it home rents here for $,ii, or $40 urnished. The tax rate is 54 mills. inU they are going to lay 10 blocks of pavement this year, the first in rhe town. Their decorative street lights beats those at Koseburg and hey have them every tio feet tor 12 jlocks, and are going to put them in ihe residence district now. Hut in comes are in proportion. I have re ceived several letters from young nen in Douglas County wanting me io get them a job here, but it is ini- jossible. I believe that any one who ms some pup can land a job here all ight, but they have to be on the spot to get it when there is an open- .ng. 1 hey have to take a chance like did if they want to land something. .1 is not uncommon for tanners to oay for land with a single crop. The test wheat laud sells for around $40 ier acre and yields from ;io to 5 5 mshels. When they gut $1.75 for .heir wheat like they do here, they an easily pay for it. One of the Hggest ranchers here told me yes- crday that he had paid for his la mi iver year for six years, lie threshed i5,OM0 bushels last year and go. Jl.XO for all of it. They thresh in October to December, and it is esti mated that then- is still about 10, Mio acres to be threshed in the prin g as soon as t he snow is off. There is no snow in Uoundup just iiow, but there is considerable in th( ountry. The elevation is "400 feet lere. The coldest this year was 4 fi legrees below zero in January, just before I got hen, and the warmest s H!t degrees in August. They hav "rest in pi act ically every month i he year, but not killing frost h ween .May and September.
