When thousands of farmers in the Wil lamette Valley hirn how to do as well as this man has done there will be little need of spending money to advertise Oregon.

The annual meet at Columbia occurs on tbe 13th of the present month, but it is not likely that the unlucky number will in any way interfere with the work of the ath letes.
