Eeilevlng that the Pacific northwest
tan be made to supply the livestock re
juirfd by the big meat packing plants
jf Portland, and tfiat the climatic and
soil conditions are such in the states of
Oregon and Washington that they can
ind should produce the cattle, hogs and
sheep necessary to supply a large por
tion of the fresh meat consumed on the
toast and In Alaska, a syndicate com-
posed of local capitalists, railway offi
- rials, packers and newspaper men, has
organized a, company for the purpose of
conducting a demonstration farm in the
Klickitat valley to prove the practica
olllty of raising and fattening livestock
for the Portland market
: This company, which is known as the
Portland-Goldendale Farm company, has
purchased a 660 acre tract of alfalfa
land located -six miles northwest of
Goldendale, in the choicest part of the
Klickitat valley, and here it Is proposed
to establish a model stock feeding farm.
O. f. Nelson, a, practical; scientific
farmer, who has operated ; extensively
In the Klickitat valley for a number of
years. Is to have the general superin
tendence. of the enterprise-The entire
tract Is to be planted to alfalfa at once.
Later on the place will be stocked with
cattle and hogs. Feeders will be shipped
In from eastern Oregon and Washington
and fattened on the surplus hay for the
meat packing plants of this city. : .
To Enlarye Holding. -
While the company's present "holding
In the Klickitat valley Is but 660 aires,
It is the purpose to add, from time to
time, to this acreage until the company
has one of the largest alfalfa and stock
feeding farms In the country, rivaling
the Immense grain feeding establish
ments in the "iiiM.'ifl 5t. The present j
brated Fprir.fr Cie'g country, and is
under the J'our.tnln Lake irrigation proj
ect. In that imnir dlrnte distrli't there Is
an annual rainfall of about 25 inches,
ample for all crop raisins purposes.
With irrigation, howwer, alfalfa land
inJhis valley produces three and four
heavy "crops of hay. .-
The soil and climatic conditions of
the Klickitat valley ure pronounced by
experts to b Identical with those of
the upper Hood River valley, and fruit
culture la Just as successful in the
Klickitat country as in '.the more cele
brated district south of tfce Columbia
river. However, it la rot tiie intention
of th Portland-Qo'idendale "Farm .com
pany to engage in the business of apple
growing.
Officials of the local packing' plants
and stockyards estimate that -fat live
stock and fresh meat to Cie value of
J25.000,000iare shipped anBuallyfrom
the middle west to Portland for iolcal
consumption, and for redistribution to
other coast points and Alaska. .
Enormous Brain.'.
This is an enormous drain upon the
resources of the coast, and o'ne-of the
chief purposes of the POrtlartd-Qolden-dale
Farm company in establishing a
demonstration farm in the Klickitat val
ley is to prove that an ample supply of
beef cattle, hogs and sheep to meet the
requirements of local packers can be
raised and fattened In what is properly
termed the Portland territoiy..
The Portiand-Goldendale farm had Its
Inception In a visit last fall to the
KJic,kitat valley by Carl R. Gray, pres
ident of the North 1 Bank road, and O.
M. Plummer, secretary treasurer of the
Portland Union Stockyards, both of
whom were greatly Impressed with the
fertility of the soil, the abundant crops
and -the' nearness of the " district Id
PoMarA. Mr. Gray suggested -the ilea
of aNafmonstratlon farm In the valley,
and from that suggestion came the pres
ent organization and the assurance of a
large Investment tn developing that sec
tion of the agricultural territory adja
cent to Portland. - -;
O. J. Nelson is a large owner of farm
lands in the Klickitat valley, and Is a

In the Middle Ages the monks, who
Indeed, were the chief consumers of
writing materials, became noted for
their skill Jn the production of fine, or
as It is called, "virgin" parchment,
the Abbey of Cluney in France being
especially distinguished In the twelfth
century. It was made of the skins of
still born kids and lambs. - The whiter,
smoother and more transparent parch
ment, known as vellum, was made from
the skins of Immature calves.
The oost of either of these materials
for bookmaklng or recording was a

lessly eipungjed that the economical or
pious copylet could secure a cheap and
well finished parchment. . .
Even this did not satisfy the ever
increasing need and demand for the'
literature and correspondence, and it
was a tradition-of the horror-stricken
Scriptures of "Old Gaul" that the Abbe
Rlvaa, attracted by the extreme tenu.

Bible of the thirteenth century, became
convinced that the satiny skin 'of a
beautiful woman had furnished the
parchment maker with raw material

Don't Buy a Discount
. Buy a Motor Car .
A GOOD MOTOR CAR, like diamond or anything else of
value, is a bargain at its list price. A poor one is clear at any price.
Buy a car at a discount and the probabilities are you will pay two
or three times the sum "saved" (?) to get the service the price of.
the car should have included. Why should a car that has been paini
takingly made and honestly priced be sold at a discount?
DISCOUNTS ON MOTOR CARS are like all other long shots
a gamble. Pay the price and then demand the service due you.
NO DEALER who carries the stock required to properly care
for customers and do business on a legitimate business basis can
T exist if (discounts on honestly made and honestly priced cars are
given. The very life of, the firm you are doing business with de-
pends upon your moral support, and this can be had only when you
nreive the service you are entitled to, - '
YOU CERTAINLY CANT EXPECT discounts 'and firstIass
service. The two can't be reconciled in the automobile business.
A CHALMERS CAR is honestly made and honestly priced, and
the margin of profit will not permit of discounts. We do all in our
power to satisfy a customer, and carry the stock necessary to accom
plish that end. : ; ? .. .
r DOLLAR FOR DOLLAiFC car offers the greatest
money value in the automobile industry today, and we can show t
you the truth of this statement if given the chance.
A CHALMERS CAR is a real asset an investment, not for one
year, but many. It has always been considered unusual value for
the money. v- ; -
ONE TROUBLE with buying a' car at a discount is you never
know whether your price is as low as the other buyer's. -
MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, this is the time to buy ar car
with a reputation a car whose quality will endure long after the
price is forgotten.' , . . .
CHALMERS CARS are on exhibition at our salesrooms.
