The Ladies Aid and Missionary So-
Of all the counties of Oregon, Clackamas is in a
premier position to benefit from the holding of a world's
exposition in 1 925. This county is adjacent to the site
of the big fair, it is closest to the best market in the state,
it has room for the overflow from the metropolis, and
the Mount Hood loop road, located within its boundar
ies, would draw many thousands of tourists and poten
tial settlers from the millions who will come.
The financial program is, naturally, of particular
interest to the people. The exposition is to cost $6,000,
000 before its gates are opened, plus whatever is ex
pended against anticipated income from admissions and
concessions. Portland has shown its faith by coming
forward with a proposition to pay two-thirds of the
amount required, but what interests the people in the
out-state counties is the proposed tax levy to produce
$3,000,000. Multnomah county will pay one-third of
this sum, in addition to a local Portland levy to raise
$2,000,000 and another million from the pockets of the
Portland people through stock subscriptions.
The state-wide levy of $3,000,000 is based upon a
levy of one mill each year for three years upon the val
uation of approximately one billion dollars in Oregon.
An analysis shows that the man whose property is
subject to taxation will pay $1 a year for three years on
each $ 1 ,000 of assessed valuation. The man or con
cern that pays taxes on an assessed valuation of $ 1 0,000
will pay $ 1 0 a year for three years. It is, therefore, easy
for any taxpayer to ascertain his assessed valuation and
determine the cost to him, and the figures will frighten
nobody.
Clackamas county has great sections of undevelop
ed land, and its population, in relation to its area, is
small. Its scenery is unsurpassed, its main highways are
practically complete and its country roads are now be
ing developed under a carefully arranged program. Its
soil is fertile as lies out of doors and it has all of these
things that invite the visitor.
Oregon is carrying too great an overhead in taxa
tion, and the way to reduce the burden on the individual
now Here is to increase the number of people and the
wealth of the state in order to lower the per capita load.
We believe our own people will appreciate the vision of
the possibilities to come from the 1 925 exposition.

1rip is planned for nex- ear

A man can get a heap more
satisfaction from a small chew
of this class of tobacco, than
he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
He finds it costs less, too. The

to have a fresh chew nearly
as often.

Hop picking i? now on in full force

p'ekers of a cent a pound, which is
the same as last year.
Clackamas cour.ty this year, has
more hari 500 acres in hops, but this
acreage represents a slight falling off
from last year.
Growers are hopeful that the pres
ent ideal weather conditions will con
tinue Present indications point to
a crop of exceptionally good quality.
but at the same time dealers are in
pressing on the growers the absolute
necessity of clean picking in view of
the disastrous results that followed
the careless picking of last year's
crop.
As usual during the harvest season'
business In the hop market has slow
ed down. The inactivity, however,
has had no weakening effect on the
prices. With a short crop the world
over it cannot be seen how prices can
be anything but firm this season. Eng
land, acocrding to the latest cable
advises, will produce only 180,000 hun
dredweight, which is far below her
requirements, and the continent, par
ticularly Germany, will not have over
50 per cent of last year's outturn.
Some business has been done in
Oregon fuggles at 31 to 32 cents
Growers are not disposed to sell clus
ters on contract at under 30 cents.
In California, where good progress
has already been made in gathering
the crop, the estimates for the state
has been reduced 5000 bales to
85,000 bales.
