The Oregon Development League recently requested W. K. Newell, of Gaston, president of tho State Hoard of Horticulture, to answer tho nties- tion, "Why Oregon excels In fruit?" in 100 words. Mr. Newell replied that ho could answer the question very easily in several pages, but succeeded n limiting his reply to the stipulated 100 words, as follows : "Oregon excels in fruit because her apples are the acknowledged standard of the world, bringing highest prices from the trade of New York, London, Paris and Berlin. Her pears, cherries, dried prunes and strawberries have a national reputation, unequalled by the fruit of any other section of the United States. Why? Because nature has given a soil containing the neces sary plant food and a climate without extremes, with moisture and sunshine which tend to prodcue fruit of beautiful color, firm texture and unrivaled flavor, and her people have the Intel ligence to take advantage of these conditions."

NEAT LUNCH COUNTER Johnson Brotners Make Many Improvements In Their Short Order Restaurant. Johnson Brothers announce that they have their preparations almost completed and will open tbelr lunch counter to the publio at the earliest possible date. The liberal patronage given by the Dallas people last winter as encouraged them to install their counter on a more extensive scale than ever before, and their establish ment will enjoy high favor among all who do reverence to tho dainties of the short order table. A new kitchen has been built and thoroughly equipped at the rear of the building and the back room of the 8 tore will bo occupied solely by the large counter. The room adjoining this will be tastefully decorate and fitted with tables, to make it suitable for club luncheons, after theater din ners, or parties of dancers returning from the ball. Messrs. Johnson have long enjoyed an enviable reputatiou for their skill in preparing short ordor luncheons, and those who formerly enjoyed the fruits of their ability are anxiously awaiting the time when the lunch counter will be opened again. Women have deckled that in case they cannot vote, they will cut out the "Stork" proposition. Perfectly proper to take llollister's Hocky Mountaia Tea. It's good for everything.
