A Russian specialist in agriculture on a recent visit to the fruit-canning plants in California expressed surprise that an apricot marmalade was not made at the canneries, and said that there is an immense de mand for this product in Russia. He also gave it as lils opinion that much of the dried fruit that is being shipped into Russia from France as a Frfench product is in reality Amer ican fruit, repacked in cartons. Hon. Fred W. Mears, progressive candidate for congress against Mr. Hawley, urges his party to adopt a party platform embodying the heart, the conscience and aspirations of our people. The following letter from Xr. Mears to the progressive state chairman, A. E. Clark, follows: Medford, Ore., April 27, 1914. Hon. A. E. Clark, Portland, Ore. Dear Mr. Clark: The progressive party is fortunate in having you as chairman of the committee to draft our party platform for the 1914 cam paign. This is a time which calls for our best thought and leadership. I be lieve that our platform should be a brief, clean-cut statement of our prin ciples. It should embody the con science, the heart and the aspirations of our people., First, we should reaffirm our na tional progressive platform "Our Covenant with the people." I believe that there shauld be special planks put in our platform: A national child labor law, national woman suf frage, the Hobson resolution in favor of national prohibition, a minimum wage law, a non-partisan judiciary, free text-books, and state-wide prohibition. Let us have a ringing declaration in favor of these principles. These principles are right. Let Oregon progressives lead the way. Every protest against wrong is in- surging for tne right. Very truly yours, FRED W. MEARS. T. J. Cleeton Circuit Judge of Multnomah County, Candidate for the Republican nomina tion for JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT, Primary election May 15.

When congress is not In session he 8ends the time going over the dis trict learning its needs unci the wishes of the people.

Big Agricultural Land Opening! (Paid Adv.) 98-3t TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TRACTS of five and ten acres each to be granted to prospective settlers in throwing1 open Twenty Thousand Acres of Itic-h Southern tJcorght land, which is admirably adapted to the growing of celery, sweet and Irish potatoes, cantaloupes, water melons, corn, oats, cot ton, hay in fact, all staple crops grown in this fertile section, as well as a large variety cl semi-tropical fruits, and the famous immensely popular paper-shell pecans. Providing you are eligible under the classifications prescribed by us, you are offered an excellent opportunity to break away from the drudgery and toil of a small wage, or working for the benefit of landlords, and go back to a land of plenty, to which, if granted, you will hold a warranty deed and abstract. The best security on earth is the earth itself, and land is the basis of all wealth. Owners of pro ductive lands are benefiting by the increasing high cost of living, while others are suffering from it. An Opportunity to Seeure Rich Productive Land Without Capital You will not be required to leave jour present surroundings now. All we ask of those to whom we grant tracts is that they plant, or arrange to have planted, a crop of one of the above-mentioned products (harvested and replanted) for grantees, in consideration of 25 per cent of the net profits derived from the sale of the crops, thereby allow ing the grantee to pursue his or her present occu pation until such time as they determine just what the yield of their acres amounts to. Consider what this may mean as a source of income, when statis tics show that the yield of one acre of celery amounted to $1,268.45, and that one acre of well-cared-for paper-shell pecans, In full bearing, should net Its owner as high ns $500 00 per year. We are of the opinion that after it is proven by actual results obtained In operating the land that they will need no further urging, and waste no time in locating in this land of plenty. We also require grantees to occupy the land within ten yenrs. or sell it to some one who will occupy it; otherwise it reverts back to the grantor. The land included in this opening Is located directly on and adjoining the Atlanta. Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad, about twenty-five miles west of 3runswick, a thriving city of fifteen thousand, having direct steamship service to New York and Boston, and excellent railroad transportation facili ties to all points. The average temperature for six months of the year, from April to October, is 77 degrees; the climate Is most healthful, delightful nnd invigorating, and there Is an ample rainfall of 51 inches per year. OUIt AIM IS FOR MI Tl'ALLV I1FXKITCIAI, RKSl'lTTS. As we are extremely desirous of having settlers locate on this property, and assist in Its develop ment, and thereby greatly increase the value of surrounding and Intervening property, which we will hold, and to Increase the traffic along the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad, nnd thus facilitate the service, we feel warranted In grant ing these tracts to those who register with us. We also have In mind business and residence plots which we will offer for sale after the opening, but which will not he Included In It. We have "money making afterward" considerations in this liberal- minded opening, similar to those of the Northern Pacific and other railroads when they granted their lands, and we expect to benefit thereby, as well as the ones who will receive the tracts. We have also planned to develop what is de signed to be the best equipped, most up-to-date, scientific, commercial farm and orchard in exist ence. It will consist of six thousand acres, and will be included in this opening. All who register and receive tracts will get the benefit of the experi ments and scientific methods in vogue thereon. While we are arranging to prevent over-regltsra-tion, we will avoid many disappointments, such as occurred in other land openings conducted by the United State's government and railroads, by grant ing those who register in excess of the number of tracts to be granted, an Interest In this commer cial farm and orchard enterprise, in the hope that they may later locate in one of our townsites. Examination of the land will cheerfully he per mitted, and the opening will be held at IJrown town, Wayne county, Georgia, one of the stations of the A. It. & A. Railroad, which is located on this property, and will occur as soon after the closing of registrations as arrangements can he made. The presence of those registered will not be nec essary at Hrowntown on the opening day, unless they wish to attend, for there will be no favoritism shown anyone. It will he conducted by a commit tee selected for the purpose, and those registered will be notified of what they have been granted, ns soon as possible. With the ever-increasing populntion of this country there is no corresponding increase in the area of land, and naturally as the imputation in creases nnd seek the Inml in pursuit of health, happiness and JndPtendence, it will continue to tie harder to secure. The prosperous and contented class In Europe today are the descendants of those who secured land there when it wns plentiful, while the descend ants of those who obtained no land are now the peasants and slaves. You must realize that this may be your last chance to secure land in Lluis country without a large outlay of capital, so it tdiould not he necessary to urge you to act at once by forwarding us the application for registration attached to this announcement.
