MOORE . . CHAS. L. SPRINGER, . . . Editor Business Mgr. ONE OF THE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. Barren , wastes or dumping grounds for noxious refuse have become well . tilled, agreeable potato patches or gardens. These are cared for in : many cases by women and children, or some kinds of cripples, and the produce is nearly clear gain. -There is a great amount in the aggregate of these vacant and unused spaces in Portland, and while poor people needing this sort of help are not numerons here it would be well if many of these vacant lots, in too many . " cases covered - with weeds or rubbish, were converted into little potato farms or gardens. - 1 HORSES BOOSTING BENTON The high price of food is now, and has been for some time past, one of the most serious problems with which the people of the nation have to deal. So marked has been the rise in the price of food during the tiaat lew yeaio uiab mc wscivo- tion of the Washington Post, "A dollar today in Center market will not buy as much -for the table as 50 cents would a few years ago," is not overdrawn. The advance in the price of food is appalling when consider ed in connection with the price of labor. The price of meat has advan ced until now it has reached a figure which is almost prohibitive.- With the poorer people meat is a luxury which can be indulged in only on especial, occasions and then only the 1 - ? i, i cneaper ana lnierior cuts can De purchased. -v.-,;. 7. Compare with the price of food, , which is . the : only real standard, the price of labor in this country, was never lower than it is today. There, never was a time when the laboring man could buy less for his money than now, because the prices of the necessaries of life have increased in a proportion greatly in excess of the price of labor. - -- One of the chief benefits which the United States has heretofore offered was the abundance of : foodstuffs produced, and hence the low price in the market, -and. this more than any other one thing, perhaps, 5 established the high standard of living main tained by American workingmen. With the price of foodstuffs ad- .Vancing beyond f the reach"" of labor, the standard must soon fall to a level f with that of Europe, ' " -;. , The Pacific Monthly boosts for Benton county in the following language: " "That Benton county is to be come one of the leading fruit growing counties of Oregon is seemingly - indicated by the re ports of orchard plantings that are taking place in that section. Apples, prunes and peaches are the favorite fruits that will be produced. These orchards will be centered about the town of Corvallis, a name which, literally interpreted, means "The Heart of the (Willamette) Valley." It is reported that 800 acres of com mercial apples will be growing in Benton county at the end year. The acreage will be largely add ed too doing the next few years. a single company PORTLAND FAIR The horse show at . the:; Port land Fair and Livestock Exposi tion, promises to eclipse ' any former event ever held on the Coast, not barring the Lewis and Clark show. ; : : Perhaps the largest exhibitor of standard breeds will be F. E. Alley of Roseburg, Oregon.- Mr. Alley brings a full complement and enters in all classes from the colts up to aged horses. His record in the show ring last year is still fresh in the. memory of fair goers. '' His horses were ad' mired by thousands at Salem and Portland, and this, year he will equal if not surpass his former showing and winnings. AT THE PALACE idents on a recent inspection of the Oregon Agricultural College. The inspection of - the colleee equipment, its student list and curriculum seemed to surprise the deans of similiar institutions in " the East and Middle West. who were in the visiting -party. Why ? Because the habit of bounding the nation on the west by the Mississippi river is one that is difficult to overcome- that indeed is never overcome except by personal obsevation. E 1 OREGON STREAMS FOR SETTLERS Under the enlarged homestead act, allowing entry on 320 instead of 160 acres. Actine Secretary of the Inter ior Pierce has designated for settlement 542,480 additional acres in Montana, making a total acreage designated in Jthat state of 26.030.080. -Under the same act 123,330 acres of land in : San Juan county, Utah, have been simil arly designated.

In addition to the apples it ' is said that there is being planted this ; year . in Benton county, 100 : acres of Bartlett pears, 1000 acres . of prunes and 160 acres of peaches."

SALEM, - OREGON NOT A BAD IDEA ."Several large American cities have adopted to a considerable extent the ' plan . of -city ; lot farming brought into prominence years ago by the late Mayor Pingree of Detroit," says the Portland Journal. This is a good method of helping people to. help themselves, to do useful "work and become self-sustaining End more independent. Phila delphia is one of the cities where this plan has been carried out Under an organization called the Vacant Lots Cultivation associa tion. It gets consent of as many vacant lot owners as. pos sible to use the ground, free of tent, and turns them over to needy families, requiring pay, When it can be earned, only for seed and - utensils furnished. This work not-, only benefits many poor people, but in most cases really improves the land Used, and makes it more valuable.
