Evory thresherman and farmer In Oregon is invited to attend the thresh ermen's convention to be held at Albany June 2nd and 3rd. Secretary Rates states that It will be the larg est gathering of agriculturists In Ore gon this year. The Vnited States government has arranged to send two of its best men from Washington, the Governor of the state will be present and the program for the two1 days Is replete with the best that money could obtain. The Commercial Club on Institutions or commercial enter prises that If Invited without tax ation and encouraged witild bring good results many tlmea greater than the taxation. It is a dime of wisdom against a dollar of greed." The Malheur Enterprise tolls of In vestments near Vale in the shape of buildings and other improvements ex ceeding a quarter of a million dollars. Such invest menu help build up a country while buying lots and tracts to hold idle for a generation certainly do not. Oregon feels complimented In the naming of the two niagnltlcent new steamers of the San Francisco & Port land Steamship Company to ply be tween the two cities. "The Beaver" and "The Bear" are tvUn v.-sso!t, modem and luxurious in the extreme. Last Thursday "The Hear" had a "boat-wariulng at Portland, ana from two o'clock iij the afternoon uutll nine in the evening entertained hun dreds of visitors. Central Oregon has lived an event ful life the past two weeks, first with of Albany will furnish a big banquet planned by the commercial orgarli- at noon of the 3rd, to the delegates t'ns at Bend, Prineville, Burns, on the Court House lawn. Both the Prairie City and Enterprise, and then O. R. & N. and Southern Pacinc lines in entertaining Louis W. Hill and Ills and branches have made a one-and- party who made a leisurely trip one-third rate on the certificate plan through the region of automobiles, and and a ten days' limit will be given to the Eastern Oregon contingent that they may stop over at Portland for the Rose Festival the following week There are 18 millions of unoccupied land in Central and Southern Oregon according to estimates made In Port land. The race into the central part of the state by the Great Northern and Union Pacific Railroads is going to throw open a land full of opportun ltles for several hundred thousand set tlers. Part of this land may be suc cessfully farmed by ordinary methods. part of It by dry farming methods, and part of It by Irrigation. It is a vast new empire that will be opened, and every part of the .Northwest will be benefitted. The slogan of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, "What Bene fits the Northwest, Benefits Seattle," applies to every other city in three states, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The Thirteenth Census has been taken, and while no city is completely satisfied that every one of its people have been counted, the enumerators and supervisors declare that It is hardly possible that more than 1 or 2 per cent have been missed. Seattle is confident of beating Portland by 25,- 000, but may be disappointed when the results are made known next .Sep tember. Spokane and Tacoma each have more than 100,000, and it is a question which one will take second rank in the state of Washington. The smaller cities of the Northwest have all grown so rapidly in ten years that it is impossible to even guess what order they will appear in when ranked according to population. A party of thirty Minnesota bankers and a second party of prominent Wis consin business men, the latter traveling under the auspices of the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, will arrive in Portland during the first week in June. They plan to see Ore gon thoroughly after participating In the Rose Festival. ' For the first time in ten years the University of Washington won the Northwest track championship at the triangular meet held on the University campus Saturday, May 7, with 78 points against Oregon's 39 and Idaho's 23. Four Northwest records were bro ken: Evans of Washington estab lished a record of 143 feet 24 ins. in the javelin throw; Hawkins of Ore gon set a new time for the high hur dles, in tearing off that event in 15 4-5 seconds; Williams of Oregon set a new mark in the pole vault by crossing the bar at 11 feet 8 Inches, while Hen ry of the same institution ran the two mile event In 10 minutes, 13 seconds. The state universities of Washing ton, Oregon and Idaho will send their best athletes to California this week, to meet with the track and field teams of the University of California and Stanford, at Palo Alto, May 14. It will be the largest and must repre sentative athletic meet ever conducted in the west, and the winning univer sity will carry away high honors. Col lege athletics are moving forward ra pidly in the Northwest. The trip of the University of Washington eight oared rowing crew to Wisconsin this year will serve to show the country at large that our Western institutions can produce aa fine athletes as any in the country.

As n result of these good roads farm values hiivo reached that point where o0 1111 acre Is regarded as the mini mum price of such lauds and $75 and $100 an acre the maximum.
