You've walked thro' the country lanes, haven't you, along In early autumn when the leaves have started to turn? Well, .. didn't it carry you back to those good old dsysaway down east or just outside the smoke and hurly-burly of the city, on a good old Oregon ranch? And the roses 6f Oregon are ,! here, too, vieing for supremacy in your favor and the roses win for the leaves they die, and wither and drop; but the roses the glorious roses of Oregon bloom on forever. Koses, in the matchless climate of Oregon, are the flowers everlasting. They dot the lawns at Christmastide and Nsw Years as their prototypes gladden autumn foliage and climbers of roses arch the aisles. And. wasn't the concert "great?
