The question of votinjr bonds in the sum of .$1,250,000 will con front the voters of Multnomah county on the fourth day of next month. It is proposed that the money derived from the sale of these bonds shall build the Ore iron side approach and Oregon's share of the Interstate bridge over the Columbia river, uniting the two states. The benefits to be derived from such a stunen dous project are so obvious and far reaching that it is most diffi cult to conceive how any one could look with disfavor upon the proportion. And it is some thing that may be achieved with out actually costing the taxpay era ol muitnoma 1 county anv thing. It is only a matter of the county lending its credit to the amount of bonds needed for the purpose. The bridge will tin (loui)tc(iiy lie operated under a loll system. Under the present inadenuate ferry system between the two states the revenue de rived from ferry charges will approximate more than $75,000 tins year, it is stated upon excel lent authority. That $100,000 yearly could easily lie obtained through toll charges on an inter state bridge with an increase of ton per cent yearly is a foregone conclusion. Thus it can lie read ily seen that in ten or twelve years the bridgo will have paid for itself without touching the pockets of the taxpayers. Clark county, Washington, has almost unanimously pledged itself to provide half the cost of the bridge, and surely Multnomah county cannot possibly afford to do less. Tfio interstate bridge means a closer communion lie teween the two stales, making access into each or great ease and convenience Kaeh voter in the county should vote in favor of the bond issue. It has the endorsement and support of the commercial cluli, and should have, the support of all citizens jot )' vttti lire ( Iroil )' htiv Inir ol horn tllctato to von, tltva work hard, f.Ai what ytm oaraoui coat aosslhlo, aal sooner thsm yon dilute row unit start :i itusixiiss oif vouu ou'.v. cut uwotiwr somh .WOA'n'olTOni' OUW ami soino rich aiaa will t akc you luttt tart uorshlp.

They starts mis is one year wiicn the grow er can practically name his own price for the better grades or apples and that a little care and patience in marketing wilj result In handsome additions to the bank account.

It is statod that the Pacific Northwest at prosont con sumes about 10,000 ton of starch jer year, practically all of which is shipped from tho East. The establishment of a starch mill in Oregon would supply this annual demand and would also nrovide an outlet for surplus spuds dur ing seasons of low prices. Hunters in straightonod cir- cumstaiicos have little oppor tunity for hunting in this sec tion. They can rustle around and find a good place to hunt bt'fore the season opens up, and when they sally forth oarlv tho first day of the huntimr season and hio themselves to tho select ed spot, they are confronted with trespass notices forbidding them to hunt on tho grounds. More wealthy porsons have leased tho grounds for hunting pesos, and tho poor hunter is out in the cold. It doesn't seem tair, hut it happens right along. bushels of prunes through the drying room every 2'1 hours. Packing of the dried fruit for shipment will begin in about ten days. It is stated that an unus ually large proportion of the prune crop is ueing marKeto'i as frosh fruit than over before. and this fact, in connection with tho unfortunate prevalence of dry rot in nearly all sections of . tho state, is expected to result in a marked decrease in the dried pruduct. Early iiuotations for dried prunes are very attractive indications pointing to an uiius- mil European demand later in the year. The people of tho Congrega tional ciuircli gave their pastor, kov. .lames Aiurpiioy, a very pleasant surprise last rriday evening. Tho idea was first originated in the young people's Sunday school class No. 5, but they were strengthened bv the oldor folks. Many of tho young people wore dressed in charac tcr. which added to their nlena ure as woll as that of tho others. Mr. Murphoy was tho reclnient 01 many lovely gilts, one in par- ili-uuu ijuiiik 11 llll gt' III 111 I'OCKCr, wiiicn was presented v the class. Jlefreshments were furn ished by the ladies.
