The nuggets of today are found in the wake of the plow and the harrow, the drill and the cultivator, the mower, the reaper, and the har vesters of a'l the crops of the soil. The pay dirt "runs from the grass roots," and is scat- tei ed north and south and east and west over thousands upon thousands of acres waiting only the coming of man and his labor for its products to be transmut e'd into golden coin.

Even a rav ishing beauty could barely have asked for more. The Mayor passed the comunication to The Oregonian correspondent at Vancouver, it was published, and now the young woman is over whelmed by offers. Inasmuch as the name of the young woman is withheld, the letters all go through the "hands of the Vancouver Mayor.

A Book for Voters A recent publication that may . never rank among the "six best sellers" but which cannot be commended, too highly to the consideration of Oregon voters, is a pamphlet from the office of the state printer containing a copy of all measures "referred . to the people by the legislative assembly," "referendum order ed by petition of the people," and "proposed by initiative pe tit ion," which will be submit ted to the voters of the state at the fall election. In almost all instances, the measures are ac. companied by arguments which have been filed for them or against them by parties directly iuluicsujj in tneir passage or defeat, and the man whose opin ions are not as yet formed may hnd much food for thought in these pages. Prominent in gen eral interest and importance to all the people among the matters which will be submitted to them are the measures providing for equal suffrage; to abolish the Senate and make the governor and the defeated party candi dates for governor members ex- officio of the House; for the sup ervision of public service corpo rations by the railroad commis sion; the to called "blue sky SOMETHING DOING IN RAILWAY CIRCLES Engineering Party Worfclno East from Crescent Presumably Harrl man Man most effective and modern method of advertising the agri- cultural possiDinties oi any country.
