ROAD. OREGON POTATOES PAT. Profitable Crop Raised In Willamette Valley, Thoe who think growing potatoes In the Santlam bottom land a small and unprofitable business, should take note that Sol Llndley last Sat urday sold 1000 bushels of his last season's crop for the enug sunt of J1000 net, the. crop to be aboard the con at Lebanon, says a Lebanon pa per. When It Is recalled that Mr. Llnd ley raised 300 bushels from 13 acres and about !0"O bushels of these will go on the market as the highest qual ity .f the product, cne can have some idea of the profits In small farming in an up-to-date and a progressive way. Potato growing Is a minor pat of the fanning on the Llndley f-rm. This is only one of the nur,eroul farmers along the Santlam r'rver who are doing that kind 'Jt farming. Clem Brothers had ft ' considerable better crop thar, Mr, Llndley. At that price 'tne rjiem boys realized 1nan ,200 to the acre, they "raising 2800 bushels from eight acres which turned out about zuuu Dusneis of top marketable potatoes. A 4-year-old oyster is the best for eating purposes. THE GOVERNOR'S REASONS. Caustic Message to the Legislature on Normal Seliool Bill. Governor Chamberlain In vetoing the Smith normal, school bill, sent the following caustic message to the legislature: In mv onlnion the bill would not be sustained by the courts If U should become a law, and the board therein designated should attempt to choose two normal schools from those now in existence. The power of making this selection Is one delegated by the Constitution to the legislature, and that body, under a well-establlBhed principle of law, cannot delegate their power to any man or set of men. There la no reason why the legls lature should not Itself abollBh two of the normal schools Instead of un dertaking to shirk Us duty and so avoid a responsibility which devolves upon It. Every Depression Carries a Raging, Dangerous Torrent. Troubles are multiplying along the Columbia Southern and instead of ; getting the track clear In a day or so, it will be at least a week before trains will he running into Sherman coun ty, says The Dalles Chronicle of Feb ruary 19. Four days' work had been done on the line between Biggs and Wasco and a train was started out yester day; but when they reach Dry gulch, four miles the other side of Wasco, they found from eight to 10 feet of water In the ditch and started back Just In time to avoid trouble further this side. A heavy 'chlnook blew up Sunday night and turned every ditch, dry or wet Into a raging torrent, washing out bridges and track which had been replaced between Biggs and Wasco and causing renewed damage. As it will be over a week before trains will be running It has been de cided to take steps to move the stock which has been held since the tie-up by driving them to The Dalles. At Grass valley there are 15 carloads and at Shaniko 26. Though when trains stopped running It was said any amount of hay could be bought for from $8 to 110, owners now claim they are compelled to pay $20, which makes It decidedly expensive for the company. nrHE, business world requires three kinds of typewriting record, for documents to be preserved; copying, for correspondence, and red for em phasis and in billing.
