day.
Editor. . ..May 18.
Dear Sir: ," I notice in , ..this
morning's Statesman you have is
sued. in big letters the following:
Review' Endorses Mark McCail-
ister." Where , did you get it?
This is an -error.-1 have not men
tioned Mark MeCallister in any
issue of the ' Review, and I don't
like to t. misquoted. I -did: en
dorse Mark Paulson of Silverton,
and expect to support the nomi
nees of the " Republican party.
Please correct.
Yours truly, f
H. D. Mars.
When questioned last evening,
Mr. MeCallister stated that the
clipping had appeared in the Stay-
ton Mail. " ' -

An editorial writer in the Portland Oregonian has finally
found out that the Willamette valley may have a great crude
druir' industry - . , -r
But he writes as though he fears we rhight. have a boom
in that industry, to the injury of other farming interests.
He need not be afraid of this.1 There are many things to
be done before there can be a crude drug boom
, And , the first thing should be experimental crude drug
gardens at tne vrejsuu jrvK-u' wucui..., vuv -
must be cured properly, as well as grown In the right ways.
ijio farmer is going to grow crude drugs till he knows all
'about the game- . : '
But it' would be a great game for western Oregon ; a
great industry, for we have the right climatic and soil con
ditions. Nature has done her part. - . , ,
V It is possible'to make" the crude' drug industry here one
of the biggest ana oest paying unes in yregon.
