TIOARDViLLE AFTER LINE
CITIZENS URGE EXTENSION OF
ELECTRIC ROAD.
Flan Offered for Consideration Is
to Open Fertile -Tualatin

TIGARDVILLE. Or., March 20. (Spe
cial., Citizens of this place are mak
ing an effort to have the proposed New-

line near Greenberg station.
The route considered runs through
the Quigley Gap of Missionary Ridge,
into a fertl'e. though undeveloped farm
ing and .small-home district in the
Tualatin River Valley, which as yet has
no railroad connection. A heavy pas
senger and freight business, it is be
lieved, would reward the builders.
Through the efforts of the Commer
cial Club, a petition has been signed
by about 200 persons, asking the estab
lishment of a rural mail route from
Tigardville to eliminate the Inconven
ience now experienced, of the farmers
having their freight shipped to one
point, while receiving their mall at an
other.

CORN TO BEYAKIMA CROP
Six Thousand Acres In Valley to Be
Planted This Year.
More than 6000 acres of land In the
Takima Valley will be planted to corn
this year, according to advices received
yesterday by R. B. Miller, traffic man
ager of the O.-W. R. & N. Co.
Similar Information comes from al
most every point in the Northwest. It
is held as substantial proof that Ore
gon and Washington can be developed
into the best corn-producing territory
in the United States. It is only a few
years since the corn-growing propa
ganda first was preached. Farmers then
said corn wouldn't grow here. The
agricultural colleges proved the con
trary.
"In 10 years," prophesied Mr. Miller
yesterday, "Oregon will be producing
more corn than wheat and the wheat
output will be greater even than it is
today."

IT IS wonderful how much satisfaction can be
obtained from a talk over the Bell Telephone.
A letter carries words, but the Bell Service has
been brought up to such a point of perfection that the
modulations of the voice are clearly heard.
The cheery tones show that the talker is well and
in good spirits. The call may come from a suburban
village or a distant city, but within the limits of the
carrying power of the voice the Bell Service carries
the tone as well. You get a personal interview with
a friend hundreds of miles away.
