& IN. and S. P. Book Tells
About This Country.
If possible, the Passenger Depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company and Southern Pacific
(Lines in Oregon) has surpassed itself
in the 1906 issue of its new publication,
"Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
their resources."
The purpose of the publication is to
attract homeseekers and investors to
the Pacific Northwest and this publi
cation is undoubtedly the best mes
senger that could be sent by residents
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the East and Middle
West.
Beautiful half tones, printed on
superb book paper, make the publica
tion, which contains 88 page and a
map of the section, a work of art, but
far superior to the typographical
make-up is the contents of the book.
Under many heads covering practi
cally all the resources of the states
are short, pithy stories of what has
been accomplished, not what might be
done, but actual facts and figures ac
companied by names and addresses
of well known farmers, who are daily
laying aside an income that would be
a fortune to an Eastern Agriculturist.
Wm. McMurray, General Passenger
Agent of the O. K. & N. Co. and S. P.
Lines iD Oregon has favored the
editor with a copy of this publication
and informed him that readers or this
paper by sending the names and
addresses of friends in the East and
four cents in postage foreach address,
may have the book promptly mailed
to the address given.

Clover Crop Is Large.
The farmers of the Willamette valley
have more clover than ever before this
year. Much more. North, south, east
and west, they are all talking clover.
It has been predicted by a man who
ought to be a good judge that the in
crease in clover acreage for next year
over this will probably be 50 per cent.
There is no more favorable sign. The
use of clover and other leguminous
crops will bring back the pristine
fertility of the soil. With these crops,
and the proper rotation, the land will
grow richer instead of poorer. The
conservation of the fertility is a duty.
It is like a banker, who must not im
pair his capital. When the fertility
of the soil is run down, the capital of
the farmer is impaired. Amity Enter
French Goes to Weston.
The board of regents of the State
Normal School at Weston have called
Professor Robert C. French, of Idaho,
to take the position of president of the
school, and the offer ha3 been accepted.
Professor French was at one time con
nected with the normal school at Mon
mouth and later was president of the
Weston school.
Pleasant Grange Meeting.
Mono Grange, No. 25, P. of H., held
its regular session Saturday with a
good attendance. A feast of ice cream

and prevented monotony. Several of

No. 958, on Saturday, June 21, to
assist in the initiations fixed for that
date.

MAKING GOOD ROAD
Southern Pacific Company Makes
Many Changes for Better on
Yamhill Division.
The Southern Pacific Company i3
preparing to make many substantial
improvements along the line of the
Yamhill division, between Portland
and Airlie. The increased train service
and the rapidly growing business on
this branch has called forth a general
policy of improvement, and changes
for the better in the roadbed and
equipment are being made every day.
One of the most noticeable improve
ments along the line is the handsome
new depot at Lafayette. The building
is of a neat style of architecture and
is conveniently arranged for the
handling of the company's business
at this station. The depot grounds
are being tastefully improved, and,
when completed, will compare favor
ably with those of any other town in
the valley.
Another important improvement is
the building of a large fuel oil tank
at the junction at St. Joe. The com
pany is already using oil on the main
line and some of the trains on the
West Side division. It is tho intention
to have all the engines changed to oil
burners by November 1. The storage
tank at St Joe will have a capacity of
15,000 gallons of oil. Fifteen thousand
dollars have been sot aside for the
work at this point.
Many trestles are being filled on the
lower end of the road, and all the
wooden culverts are being replaced by
substantial arches of concrete or
masonry. Much ballast has been
placed on the roadbed in the last few
months, and it is probable that this
work will be continued until the entire
80 miles of road is placed In first class
condition.
The new morning passenger train
from Portland to Dallas is receiving
heavy patronage, notwithstanding
the fact that it has been running less
than ten days and the traveling public
has not become accustomed to the in
creased service. Not less than 100
passengers have been carried any
day, and on Sunday morning an even
200 tickets were sold at the Jefferson
Street depot.
TEACHERS AT SCHOOL
Large Enrollment at Summer Term
of Normal School In Monmouth.
The summer term at the State
Normal School is opening with
splendid prospects. There are now
enrolled 79 students, representing 18
counties of the state. Six other states
are also represented in the enrollment.
Nearly one-half of the students at
Monmouth are there for the first time,
and the remainder have either attend
ed before in the regular Normal or In
the summer Normal.
A regular class has been organized
in the training department and a full
and complete course in methods is
given. The students who are attend
ing have had experience In teaching,
many of them as principals of schools,
and the quality of work done i3 very
high. The term will last well Into
the month of August.
Repairing the Big Bridge.
Marion and Polk counties and the
city of Salem have united in the re
decking and repair of the bridge
across the Willamette river, the con
tract for which has been let to the
Emerson Milling Company. The work
began Tuesday. During its progress,
the bridge will be closed to teams
from 6 o'clock in the morning until
11 :30, and from 1 o'clock in the after
noon until 6 o'clock in the evening,
