Portland, Or., June 4 (Special) —
Bumper crops and prevailing good
prices are expected to put the farmers
of the Pacific Northwest in high good
humor this Fall and, through him, the
three states are expected to prosper
as never before. Every indication is
*or big yields in all the staple products
tnd for some prices will be very high.
The biggest wheat crop ever harvest­
'd is predicted for Oregon, Washing­
ton and Idaho and it is thought the
■ield will reach 70,000 000 bushels,
vorth $52,500,000. Oats are expected
co add $18,675,000 to the farmer’s bank
oil and hurley $9,900,000 more. Fruit
narkeced this Fall and Winter will add
>15,000,000 to this new wealth and hay
the neat sum of $55,390,000.
The
wool crop is estimated to be worth
■56,600,000. and hops $4,659,000. This is a
total income for the producers of the
three states of almost $150,000,000. If
the manufactured products were added
to the wealth of the soil, it is probable
the total would fall not far below
$500,000,000 for the year.
The water system is practically completed, only a
few minor details remain to be attended to before turn­
ing over the entire plant to the city authorities. The
work as a whole seems excellent and the engineer, Mr.
Osgood certifies that work, materials, etc. are up to the
specification. There is no reason to doubt that the entire
plant will prove entirely satisfactory to the citizens and
taxpayers of our little city.
The Mayor and Councilmen and in fact every citizen
of the town may well feel proud over the completion of
this system; just think of it for a moment, a town of 885
population constructing a water system costing $70,000!
This is a record seldom equaled in any country and shows
what perseverance coupled with good business acumen
can accomplish; three years ago when the first move in
the matter of providing water was made there was a few
croakers who said “the thing cannot be done.” That
they were mistaken the record proves.
During the progress of the matter from its inception Indicating the desire of the railway

PROBATE COURT
Oregon has an opportunity to attract
settlers from the Middle West by
making a good exhibit at the North­
western Products Exposition at Minne­
apolis, November 12-23, according to
Will A. Campbell, secretary, who has
lately visited Portland.
There is
nothing so convincing as an actual ex­
hibit of what a state can produce, he
says, to win settlers. Such a demon­
stration is held to be more forceful
than any amount of advertising or any
other form of exploitation.
