Lavo is a dependency of Siam. - Oregon has about the same popu lation as South Dakota; the natural conditions are more favorable to dairying in Oregon than South Dat kota and the average price of dairy products are higher here than it is there. Nevertheless the number of milch cows in South . Dakota on January 1, 1903, is estimated by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture at 378,G79, as compared with only 129,713 in Oregon. Even Ok lahoma has more milch cows than Oregon. The number - credited to the. state of Washington is 141,701.

She moved to Greenwood countv, Kan sag with her parents in 1859; w s married toJ A Hawkins, January 9, 1872, and they moved t Oregon 'in 1876 Traffic alone intermediate points on the Corvallis & Eastern railroad has increased to such a volume that the management is hard-pressed to find cars to move the stuft. There is such a de mand at Yaquina, Albany and at outside points for lumber and othtr mill stuff that orders are greatly delayed. The shops of the line at Ya quina City, though limited as to facilities, are a veritable hive ol industry at' the present time. Fifty new flat-cars have.;; re cently been manufaCtured there, and almost all are ready to be sent otit as lumber carriers. A number of other cars are to be made at once. Operations of two new mills on the east side of the Coast Range and of a mill situated at the end of an eight mile flntutf ntar Phi'omath have laij:' ly increased.'; V Business is good Aitii li e b'or lumber. mill at Mill City, on the eastern end of the Corvallis & Eastci u, rrders being in for a month ahead, it is said. The rolling stock of the road is kept busy, and much of the business that has started up is due to the development of a country that was lor a long time backward. Attention has been frequently called to the fact that i , it- o Tv.t rr- iae -vorvauis cc . rvascern oners one of the best outlets through the Cascade Range into Central Oregon. . With a termiuus in Eastern Oregon,, the Corvallis & Eastern would become a trans portation line of first importance in the middle section of the state.

While, as on tne occasion ot his former visit, promises were prolific and all who "were aproached were of the opinion that this county should be represented, Mr. Le Roy was unable to secure even a spear of grass as a souvenir of his trip to Corvallis. : v; v There is probably no place in Oregon where advertising is held of so little value, as right - here. A few of our merchants realize its importance, but the majority look upon money spent for adver tising s purposes, as donations to charity. If a man is in business, he can't have too ;many people kuow of it; if .he has something to sell, he should invite the pub lic to come and buy.

That tropical ? plants will grow and flourish, in Oregon i s evi denced by the beautiful Florida palm, row blooming in the gar den adjoining the residence of W. J. Wil banks. When that gen tleman was visiting in the South, eleven years ago, he secured two palm bulbs and brought them .baeki.-.ta-'-OregOB.i':i-rbey were' planted in his garden, and in" due time tiny shoots made their ap--pearance above the ground. In its native soil this specie of palm blooms at the age of ten years, but the blossom did not make its appearance on Mr. Wil bank's plant until its eleventh year. The delay in maturing was prob ably due to the cool climate. The trunk of the palm is as thick as a man's thigh. The flowers are white and completely cover a stalk, two feet in length and over a foot in thickness, which rises out of the center of the plant. It is doubtful if another speci men of this beautiful plant can be found in Oregon. Best grade of gasoline, 30 cents per gallon at Berry's.
