Raral Districts Represented. Sutherlin Sun. THK annual edition of The Morning Oregonian. issued January 1. proved one of the most complete ever Issued on the Pacific Coast. It contained Ave sections, several of which were In colors, and a number of splen did articles covering Oregon's progress during 11I. A large number of illus trations, depicting scenes in Portland and llie stale at large, added to the attractiveness of the edition. The paper gave miit-h space to the rural districts throughout the state, which LL '4J- A r r -r7V,vE lit attractive barns, which accommodate the stock and products of the soil. A 17-rpom house, elaborately appointeo. and containing all the conveniences of city homes, was built by Mr. Curry. Alfalfa la Introduced. More than 21 years ago Mr. Curry, then In his prime. Introduced the grow ing of alfalfa in Douglas County. So fertile was the land of the Curry ranch and so well adapted to the growing of this particular grass that as many as four crops were harvested in one year. And this was done without irrigation. The tract contains a limited amount of timber, including cedar and fir. This timber is being preserved and furnishes excellent shade during the warm Sum mer months. A small family orchard adds to the attractiveness of the ranch, and from this the family secures an abundance of the season's fruits. In laying out the ranch the owner paid particular attention to the drive ways, and there are more than four miles of gravel roads.

Paper Best Edited la raited State. Joseph Herald. The Oregonian's New Year edition was the greatest ever issued by that great newspaper. The Oregonian is the neatest and best-edited newspaper In the United States, by long odds. Orearoa's Reaoareea Advertised. Iebanon Tribune. The Oregonian's New Year edition was. it possible, superior to any of Its t ! f - X? - ' a new steel bridge, which was recently erected by Douglas County at a. cost of several thousand dollars. With the erection of this bridge au tcmobilists are afforded an excellent drive during the Summer months. The road Is scenically attractive, while the old Curry homestead proves interesting to many. A year ago the heirs of the Curry estate decided to subdivide the ranch into small tracts and place them on the market, but before many tracts were sold the owners issued an eaict that the old homestead should be pre served In honor of its former owner. Another feature of the Curry home stead is Its abundance of game, pro tected by the law, giving the Curry ranch the right of maintaining a re serve. Recently the state sent a con signment of pheasants. Mr. Curry, who left the beautiful ranch to his heirs, was one of the best known men of Douglas County in his day. He died in San Francisco In 1892 and since that time the ranch has been managed by his heirs. - previous efforts in the production of annual editions. The matter gathered and the superb Illustrations involved great expense, such as a great publica tion only could afford. No better ad vertisement of the resources of Ore gon, in the newspaper line, has ever been published. Public Improvements Cited. McMinnville Telephone Register. The Oregonian's Annual New Year's edition was a splendid exponent of the growth of Portland and the State of Oregon during 1912. The Illustrations of the business section of the city were especially fine, and showed the ex panslve growth made during the year in large business structures, xne edi tion recites that In 1912 $4,484,857 was spent for street and sewer improve ments. The total length of hard-sur face streets was increased to 2j2 miles. One immense bridge across the Wil lamette River was completed and another was nearly finished. And the $1,600,000 Courthouse was nearly com pleted. The erection of a $450,000 Cen tral Library building and the estab lishing of Reed College in Its perma nent buildings are worthy of comment. The greatest truth about Oregon can not be better expressed in a few words than is expressed by The Oregonian when H says: "Marvels have been wrought, but they are only a begin ning. An empire remains to be de veloped." Growth of Y"t Domain Depleted. Forest Grove News-Times. The Oregonian's Annual holiday num ber, issued January 1, was a very hand some and highly creditable edition.

Such a publication sent to friends East cannot help but give a good impression to people who contem plate locating in some Western com munity.

Undoubted ly this one day's record is more pianos than all other dealers in Oregon han dled for the whole of last year. This gives some idea of the enor mity of the Eilers business, which is now acknowledged the largest piano selling establishment in the world. As to the enormity of the variety the Eilers customers are afforded, and in dicative further -of the immense scope on which this big institution operates, suffice to say that at the present time over 1200 pianos are in stock in Portland alone, representing in figures nearly half a million dollars. This enormous business has been built up solely on the Eilers policy of quick sales and small profits and money back if not satisfied. Today Eilers stores can be found in every city of importance from San Diego to Alaska and throughout the Inland Empire.
