With the completion of the Panama Canal, believes Secre tary Williamson of the State Board of Horticulture, will come the ojening of much wider mar kets for Oregon apples. He thinks the people of Europe can be supplied direct from Portland and that the demand there for this highly prized fruit will be strong. The Oregon Highway Associa tion has been formed by good roads advocates for the purpose of building a main thoroughfare from north to south across the state, becoming part of the main highway along the coast from Canada to Mexico. Monday, De cember 12, has been fixed as the date of the state good roads con vention, when all interested in the work will meet in Portland to formulate good roads bills to present to the next Legislature. W. 0. Minor, of Heppner, is one of the state's most useful citizens. He has bred a famous herd of Shorthorn cattle that are the delight of livestock experts. Mr. Minor has sent seven head of his cattle to the International Livestock Exhibition at Chicago where they will be exhibited and later sold. This is the only ex hibit Oregon will make in what is claimed to be the greatest live stock show in the world. What Oregon needs is more Minors rather than more professional men.
