Some favor it; some voice disapproval; others have no choice. If it will be convenient for valley people, The Observer is for it. If it will not, there- are not enough benefits to warrant the change. It should bo decided entirely on that basis. Baker's community hotel shows a small profit less than .1 per cent on the first eight months operation. Regardless 1 size, it speaks well of the management. Most community who lives in town hotels Show losses. Very few pan out on the profit side of Lhe ledger. Finally the bond holders take over the property and the coniijnunity boosters charge their investment to jharity or advertising or any other convenient column. i lly Ixlnu Hull lor : " . . tyOHcrter correspondent') WALLOWA, Ore.

He particularly recommends the plan to those states having lundreds of thousands of acres of denuded land unfit for cultivation. Trees have never appealed greatly to landowners as a nop because of their slow growth. This objection has been ivercomc by the development, by hybridization and selec tion, of certain new varieties of poplar trees giving many .hues more wood pulp per acre than is now obtained. ; In addition to increased yield the hybrids arc said to have he advantages of producing a strong, knotless wood and if attaining in eight years a height and girth which common xiplars reach only alter 45 to 50 years. An acre of these lyDims uirnetl into wood pulp might yield a farmer $600 in 1 Jignc years as compared with $210 yielded in the same time y an acre of wheat. Owners of fallow ground will find these facts inlerestiinr it a time when tho price of paper constantly rises and the mpply of wood pulp rapidly diminishes. Domestic cultiva ;ors of forests, because of transportation facilities and roxnmty to markets, would have a distinct advantage over hose regions from which the United States now imports nost of its wood pulp and paper.
