Thsrs ' la soarosly a wonder at ths high tids of prosperity in ths Paolflo northwest whsa such high prioes are bslng received by producers of fruits and grains. Almost every day aow ws hear of rao-ord-brsaklng values for southern Ore gon pears In the eastern and Canadian markets. Ths sppls crop is sure to bs a surprlssr from a flnanolal point of Tlew. The Oregon country is orowded with buyers at this time and thsrs will bs much competition among them for this best frulU anywhere in the world. Ths producer of wheat Is. this year probably the most Independent of all producers; unless perhaps It is ons of ths favored ones who live In ths Rogue river or Hood river valleys and are abls to bring forth a product better,, than ths best obtainable elsewhere. The northwestern whsat producer will this season clean up a profit that will put him on easy strset for several years to ooms. Pre ml am Vs4d for Tloiur.
