(be arKumetit waa made by a few that If lh« bond laane carried and the work waa atarted the contractor* would be aure to bring In all cheap foreign la bor men who would not spend a bit of their earnings In ItedmoDd, but who would take all the money they received out of this section of the state when they were through on the Job The rlalm waa alao made that there were plenty of Idle men right here In Redmond who were begging for Jobs. but when the time came for hiring men on the water works those local men who were "begging for Jobs" were not In evidence and the contrartora were obliged to acour around among the adjacent towns for help, and have been running short handed all the tltne since be ginning work The work on the plant la now In condition that a large force of men la needed to hurry It along, hence the contractors are advertising In The Spokesman and Rend Bulletin for laborers If men cannot be se cured In this section It will be neces sary to Import foreign labor, so the contractors state.

One of (he Aral things to do when considering the selection of speci mens for exhibition purposes Is to se cure s premium list and determine In what classes you wish to exhibit If you have already made your se lection of material, study your pre mium Hal very carefully und deter mine In what class your exhibits will stand the heat opportunity of win ning a place Entry of specimen* In the wrong class often prevents the winning of a premium which other wise might be secured If properly entered. No matter what your exhibit con sists of. put It up In as neat a man ner as possible. Try and make your display attractive. If you have grains or grasses pul them Into neat bundles, atrip off all loose leaves that tend to make It look ragged, cut off the ateins so as to make a neat, aquare butt. Try and have only one variety In a bundle and or dinarily bul cue bundle of a variety. Take repreaentatlve specimens of a variety. With potatoes, take smooth clean specimens, handle carefully, and If exhibiting In cratea. make then» as attractive aa possible. Put up a business park. With applea try and secure per fect specimens Always try snd keep front pulling out the stems; tf. how ever. they are missing, don't try and put In artificial one* The more highly colored, the better. In short, one may say, handle all your exhibit* aa carefully as though they were eggs. Have them clean and free from blemishes snd bruis es. Put them up as attractively as |M»salble Name them correctly and try and have then» entered at the fair on time. P. H SPILLMAN. Asst Superintendent Demonstra tion Karin*. In talking to an Oregonian about the resources of our state you will Invariably hear timber mentioned at the top of the list Yes. Oregon prob ably lias more standing timber today than any other state In the I'nlon and we can well be proud of It. In cluded In the different varieties are Hr. spruce, cedar, hemlock, oak. ash. and maple as well as the more rare varieties such aa the myrtle tree which grow* In Coos county. In speaking to a furniture manu facturer about the wonderful timber resources of the state he said: "Yes. we have an unlimited supply of the best of woods for the manufacture of not only common furniture, but high grade furniture as well and we are today making a good deal of furni ture In Oregon, hut the amount man ufactured Is merely a drop in the bucket to what should he made In Oregon. Our hardest work has been to educate the consumer to ask for an Oregon product. If we could make the buyer realise to a small extent what It would mean If he demanded and bought Oregon made goods, the result would be beyond figures. Fac tory after factory would start opera tions In Oregon snd It would put hundreds of thousands of dollars In to circulation. We must drill Into our local people Che habit of asking for a made In Oregon product.wheth er It be furniture, blasting powder or hand soap.*’ A SOLEMN NEIGHHORHOOD A blank crop report, aaya the Ran Francisco Argonaut, was sent out by a Cleveland paper for the farmers to fill out, and the other day one of them came bark with the following written on the blank side In pencil: "A ll we’ve got In this neighborhood Is three wldders. two school ma'ams, a patch of wheat, the hog cholera, too much ratn, about flfty acres of talers and a durn fool who married a cross eyed gal because she owns 30 sheep and a mule, which the same Is me. and no more at present.” $ 5 .9 5 Round Trip J.
