For this is th?1deal pot for the middle west farmer ,who 1 expects to farm tnuch the same way as he farmed in the section.' The dlffsrence Is that he vill produce more and make more money for the amount of labor ex pended in this Grande Ronde valley than he will in most places. , There Is no particular need ct at tempt'ng to hold this valley up as an excUis'vi crop region for sura, Is'nct the case.

That In-' nt1i- la In th matter of lnterseC-' tions. The entire city should pay for these Intersections. It la hut right and fair. The entire community uses the highways and the least that could be done would have been to let the entire city pay for the Intersections which really belong to no particular piece of real estate but are owned in fact by the city as a whole. Ir is not too late yet for this equitable mea sure to be adopted by the city council and -we understand there is quite a feeling among the different members for it. The pnople bearing the paving ex pense would appreciate it very much if they were relieved from individual ly paying for tbe Intersections and the city In paying for them would tos only doine what is absolutely right and Just '.
