OREGON PRODUCTS
ATTRACT BIG CROWDS
m i
Indications are for great movement of Homeseekers into
Oregon's rich unsettled parts during 1911.
Fruit Industry interests Central States.
"The way to get people Into the
Northwest in-to take the Northwest
to them." This i what President
Hill of the (ireat Northern has done
for Oregon by completely equipping a
car with Oregon products and send
.Iiik It on a 7,000 mile tour through the
eastern states with traveling repre
sentatives in charge who are well
versed on western conditions. The
Interest this car has created every
where on Its tour through Michigan,
eastern Ohio and southern Indiana
good working field and the interested
class seemed to be listed among the
best people.
New Albany, Ind. Nothing so far
equals the attendance to the Oregon
car such as we had at New Albany.
Starting early In the morning we had
a steady crowd of visitors for the two
days. On the evening of the second
day we passed through the car not
less than 1.500 people between 7:00
and 9:00 p. m. It was necessary to do
this, as we left at 9:30 p. m. I would

has hen nothing short of wonderful.
Oregon is hound to tain from this
practical publicity, and the value of it
can only bo reckoned when the colon
ist period is over and some Idea can
be had of the number of new settlers
brought into the State.

Greenwood. Ind. Fifteen hundred
Visitors, a great many of whom were
farmers. A large per cent of Interest
was for homesteads in Oregon. The
hall where the St. reopticon lecture
was held in the evening was crowded,
and some were turned away.. The ap
ple display in the enr Is drawing many
favorable comments.
Jeffersouville. Ind. Tremendous
crowd. At least 5.1100 people visited
the ear. The crowd kept up all day
long and the lecture hall was crowded
In the evening We estimated the at
tendance at about l.ioo. The interest
seems to be mostly in farm lands with
a little for fruit culture. This Is a
estimate the attendance during both
days at no less than 9,000 people.
Franklin, Ind. KnthtiRiasni and in
terest shown here set a new mark for
the Oregon Car. We had fully 4,0oo
vlsitois and the" hall in the evening
was filled to overflowing. I have
never experienced quite such an en
thusiastic audience as we encountered
at our lecture. After the lecture we
were kept busy for some time giving per
sonal Interviews. W e also opened the
car and allowed the people to look the
exhibits over until almost 11:00 p. m.
We secured the names of a large
number of prospective homesteaders
and tourists for Oregon.
Ansonla. Ohio. Attendance about
'do. At the stereopticon lecture In
the evening every seat in the hall was
taken. It was a rousing and especial
ly Interested crowd and the attend
ance was large considering the size
of the town. Several came to me
after the lecture in the evening and
stated that they were going west this
spring or summer.

MARCH 1911 DRYEST .
, IN J ANY YEARS
With Hie exception of the record
for the month of March, lvO, March,
I'Jll, the month closing Friday, was
the dryest ever exjsTlenced In Ore
gon. According to the records of
the ('nlted States Weather, the total
precipitation was but 0.'i.'t of an Inch
In Portland, which Is the same
amount of rainfall had for March 20
years ago.
For more than five weeks dry
weather has obtained In nearly all
districts of the Northwest, there
Isdng very little rainfall since the lat
ter part of February. While there Is
nothing to Indicate that the dry
period will le broken Immediately,
Weather Forecaster Edward A.
Heals, of Portland, Is of the opinion
that the "dry spell" will not continue
much longer. As the mean rainfall
for March Is 5.0.1 Inches. It Is appar
ent that Portland Is shy of rain to
the extent of 4.40 Inches.
In contrast to the drouth of the
March Just passed, the greatest
amount of rainfall ever recorded by
the local bureau for the correspond
ing month was had In March, 1 ":!,
:!!) years ago, when there wns a total
of 12.70 Inches.
Between March !t and the last day
of the month there were no cloudy
days, being a stretch of 22 days of
clear weather. There were In the
month only six days that were partly
cloudy, one cloudy day and two days
when there was slight precipitation,
With the unusual warm nnd dry
weather, vegetation Is growing rap-
Idly, many kinds of fruit trees are In
bloom and crops of all kinds are
making fast progress. It has been
an unusually iavoraoie spring tor
farmers to prepare the soli and plant
their crops. The early spring work
Is about completed In most districts
and good rains are now hoped for.

would stronuly urge farmers who
have not don e so to tiegln keeping
household accounts at once. If the
bills are kept on file properly and
paid by check. It should Ik-a simple
matter, for then there Is no necessity
of copying the Items; the name of the

definite allowance of a certain sum
