Ix en victimized by unscrupulous
land HM-culators and that the
state, as a whole, t ha l'n in

statement made at the annual
convention of Oregon bankers
recently held at f-orvallis, and
the attending delegates express
ed a determination to co-oM-ratt
with the commercial bodies
throughout the state in an effort
to put greedy real estate men
out of business. The plan does
not contemplate the entire elimi
nation of land-selling agencies,
but docs promise to annihilate
the shark w ho have lecn SN'cu-
lating in good Oregon soil, taking
it out of production and holding
it for an unreasonable increase
in price.
It was dcided to form an a-
praiscrnent committee in each
community to pass on the prices
of lands, the committee to con

commercial body and one banker,
and intending purchasers will be
advised to purcbaiM no real estate
from any dealer until tho value
of same has Uen passed upon by
the appraisers and the price ask
ed decided to be a reasonable one.
It wasstatcil as a fact that much
of the agricultural land in Ore

The national convention of
nurserymen, comprising growers
from all parts of the United

week, after one of the most suc
cessful meetings ever held in the
history of the organization. J,
Pilkington, who has sold nur
sery stock from his Multnomah
loldings, to Washington county
tarmers lor many years, was
chosen president of the national
assembly and Cleveland, Ohio,
was the selection for next year's
meeting.
last Friday about two hundred
hasten). Southern and Western
growers visited Orenco on a
special excursion, and were the
guests of Mr. McDonald and Mr.
Powers, of the Oregon Nursery
Company. The visitors were
taken all over the Orenco hold
ings in carriages and autos, and
a splendid luncheon was served
in the packing sheds, where the
tables and hall were beautifully
decorated. There were many
speeches, and many compliments
paid the donors of the trip.
Dr. Tamiesie, A. C. Shute and
Mr. Mahon represented Hillsbo
ro. Dr. Tamiesie states that the
best-in formed nurserymen from
the East and South were delight
ed with Oregon, and expressed
themselves that they had never
seen a more fertile country in all
their travels.
Mr. McDonald is responsible
for the excursion to Orenco, and
Dr. Tamiesie believes the trip
will be productive of more good
for the section than any event
that has transpired for the past
ten years.

thought that the burglars are
shipping their plunder out to Ta
