INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
INVADERS TO FEEL AX. j
Foreign Corporation Operating In the

Oregon is losing approximately from
$10,000 to $25,000 annually because
of foreign coriiorationa entering this

Olcott Is sending out letter to all
district attorney In the state request
ing them to advise him of all such
corporations in his district that the
fines and license fee may be recov
ered by action at law.
"It does not seem to be generally
known," said Secretary Olcott in
statement, "that there is any penalty
attached to the failure of foreign
corporations to comply with the laws
of this state In regard to the filing
of declarations, power of attorney
and certified copy of the article or
incorporation. However, I have con
cluded that section 6707 of Lord

porations that enter this state and
commence tne transaction ot dusi-
ness without first filing the above
paper and paying the declaration
and annual license fees. The sec

such corporation. Joint stock com
pany or association, foreign as well
as domestic, shall pay an annual li
cense fee in proportion to the amount
of it authorized capital stock, and
'any corporation. Joint stock company
or association doing business tn this
state contrary to this act shall be
liable to a fine of i0. to be recov
ered, together with any license iee
due, by an action at law in the nam
of the state.'
"The law make it the duty of the
secretary of state to request district
attorneys to institute actions to re
cover tn cases where the law has
been violated, and it Is the Intention
ot this office to see that foreign cor
porations doing business in Oregon
comply with the law."

For Good Roads.
Start on a new campaign to obtain
good roads for Oregon was made at
a meeting of the Oregon Association
for Highway Improvement and the
trustee of the Oregon Development
League recently. At this meeting It was
practically decided that the develop
ment league will enter the campaign,
actively in an effort to line up all
Interests, both rural and city, on a
plan that will be thoroughly repre
sentative. The development league

the delegates, and If the vote Is fa
vorable, as it is expected It will be.
the league will go ahead actively ta
father a good roads bill that Is bound
to be adopted by the next legisla
ture. Umatilla Wheat Good.
Athena The outlook for a bumper
wheat crop on the Umatilla Indian
reservation wa never better than
now. The wheat I well headed and
there I plenty of moisture In the
land to fill the heads with grain.
If weather conditions remain as fa
vorable for the next 30 days as thev
have been for the past month a yield
of 60 bushel to the acre will J) a
common occurrence. The acreage In
wheat In this vicinity I" somewhat
greater than last year. Farmer are
already getting their harvesters In
readlnes for the coming crop. Sev
eral combine will be run by ga
machine thl year.
Will Hold Strawberry Day.
Weston A strawberry day and
horse show will be held at Weston
Saturday, July 1. It object la to
advertise the resource of the moun
tain country near Weston, and espe
cially the sfrawberrle grown with

licious flavor. The demand for them
exceed the supply.
Sherwood to Have Sewer System.
Sherwood The city council ha or
dered a large main ewer through
the center of town to drain into
septic tank. The cost will be about
$3000 and there I enough money In
the treasury to complete thl part
of the work. It I planned by an.
other year to have lateral that will
reach every part of the town.
I GOOD APPLE CROP IN EAST.
Northwest Condition Brighten as
Season Advance.
The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
gives the following report of apple
crop conditions;
Since the dute of our last bulletin.
No. 94, no changes of special Im
portance have been reported to the
excnuniec. aiaieniems in reiwiu luitom,
the crops east or the Missouri river
are conflicting In many ways, but
the general tone confirms the previ
ously reiterated advice that the
yield in those district will be much
larger than has been harvested for
a number of years. Many sections
In the east have been visited with
abundant rain which have helped
strengthen the situation. On the
whole, the ruins have been of excep-
tlonal value at this time, following'
the extremely hot weather and se
vere drouths. The June drop will
be much heavier than was exacted
while a number of localities report
blasting of some varieties. It seems
certain that .New lork and Michigan,
at least, will huve bumer yields,
especially In the full varieties. The
Virginias promise a very fuir crop,
although smaller than thut Ot 1910,
Information from New York stute
under recent dute shows heavier
droppings than Is considered deslr
able In some localities, while other
report blasting, but on the average
conditions Indicate an exceedingly
large volume of tonnage.
Michigan reKrts are of the same
general character.
Virginia reports are recent and
comprehensive. The Shenandoah Val
ley and eastern panhandle of West
Virginia promise crops of unusually
fine quality, but on the whole the
quantity will hardly exceed 60 or 65
per cent of last year's harvest. The
shortage Is attributed to the lust
late frost, and the excessive drouth
lasting three weeks. The drop has; It Is known, Is estimated at $10,

which bore heavily last year, will bo
offset, to a large extent, by the great
acreage of young orchards Just com
ing Into bearing. The Shenandoah
Valley was visited by severe hall,
lightning and wind storms on June
6, the effect of which could not be
determined at the time of our ad
vices. Whatever damage has resulted
in the southern part of the valley
may be equalized by the benefit of
rainfall In the northern sections.
