COLD OF THE YEAR Radiators Need Special Care to Prevent Their Freezing, Garage Men Say. Accidents Few Regardless of the Dangerous Condition Along Highways. Oregon Wealth Shown NEW YEAR’S ENDURANCE RACE in Booklet of S. P. PLANNED BY CYCLE MEN Railroad A new sixty-four page pamphlet entitled, “Oregon for the Settler,’’ has just been published by the Southern Pacific railroad and is being distributed throughout the United States and abroad. The pamphlet shows that with 452,000,000,000 feet, board measure, Oregon has a larger supply of timber than any other state. Prac- tically one-fifth of all the standing timber in the United .States is lo- ceted within the boundaries of Oregon, according to the railroad booklet. It also points out that the 1923 field crop production of the state was $72,888,511. Winter wheat led with a valuation of $21,024,637. The 1923 fruit and nut crop valua tion is placed at $13,960,200. The total value of Oregon’s products from farm, fisheries, livestock and forests exceeded $350,000,000, it states. Of Oregon’s 61,188,480 acres, only 25,558,622 acres are deeded and 5,084,858 acres of tillable land are as yet uncultivated, according to the booklet. With the temperature going as low as three degrees below zero, Cottage Grove, along with the rest of the Willamette Valley, is shivering in the first cold spell of the winter, Coming as it does immediately following a week of extremely pleasant weather, the present icy blast is regarded as unusually unpleasant. This low mark which is the same as the low temperature recorder during the cold weather five years ago was announced this morning I by the local weather bureau.
