The assessor's roll shows the total till

This is the advice of Governor Folk of
Missouri deals out to c:t:zsns ni msr
chants. He says:
"We are proud of cur splendid cities
and we want them tu increase in wealth
and population and we also want our
country towns to gro. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but we also
desire the country merchants to prosper.

If a place is good enough for a man to
live in and make his money it is good
enough for him to spend it in. No
merchant can succeed withcut advertis

your own papers build them up and they
will build up your town and increase trade
and opportunities. Do not be afraid that
business is going to be hurt by the recent i

doing an honest business can be injured
by light."
TL. ... . .
ne bouniy court is certainly right in
demanding a strict accounting of money
annually spent upon our county roads,
which amounts to thousands of dollars
each year.
Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff in his
olxial report to the forthcoming session
of the legislature estimates the population
of the state of Oregon at 433,574, as
against 413,536, in 1900, an increase of
20,038.
Some of these days the people of Ore
gon will wake up to the fact that a forty
road can be kept in repair at a much
less expense than our present wide
thoroughfares. Many states in the east
became aware of this waste of money
and the change years ago.
The next legislature will re-apportion
the state with reference to the number
of state senators and state represent
atives, the several vCunties will have.
Ten years ago we lost out and the wrong

Wool is now among the most import- I
ant of Oregon's industries. A third of
all the sheep in the United States are
owned in the northwest and Billings Mon-
tana and the Dalles, in Oregon, are the J
greatest initial wool-markets in the 1
country. Last year Oregon produced
22,000.000 pounds of wool. Montana 25,
000.000. Washington 15.000.000. and
Idaho 13.000.000. Most of this product
was sent to Massachusetts which has
the greatest numbei of wo len mills of any
Slate in the union. Nowhere in the world
except in Australia is there finer-or better
wool produced than in Oregon.
These cond:to.is are at the r best in
eastern Oregon and the uplands of the
Willamette Valley. Pr ces receded for
Willamette wool last year ranged frnm
twenty to thirty cents wh.'e in Eastern
Oregon the wool brought from tweny
twenty-Stx cents a pound. The finer j
fleeces of Eastern Oregon wooi ranged I

trom s x and one half pounds hile the
coarser ones from the Willamette Valley
often v.e.ghed as hgh as fifteen pounds.
The Oregon Ciy mills are the largest
woolen mills west of the Mississippi river
