A WEB OF PROSPERITY, The Willamette Valley is now la the beginning of a new period of develop ment the age of rural electric rail ways. Most of the roads are still existent only on paper it is true, a few perhaps In process of construction and a few in actual operation, but already the imaginary web work of railways up and down the Willamette Valley between its principal towns and cities, is beginning to have its marked influence for the increasing prosperity of this section of the state. Men who are well qualified to judge values, are investing heavily In Wil lamette Valley real estate and almost invariably, as may be noted, the land for which they spend their money is intersected on the map, by one of those many thin lines that indicates where an electric railway Is to be laid. One of the points on which the greatest stress was laid in the reports of the sales of the famous Broadmead farm near Ballston in Polk county, and the Lownsdale orchard in Yamhill county was the fact that they lay under the path of one of these projected railways . Men who are investing extensively in the fine horticultural land of Ore gon, fully realize the Importance of those imaginary lines, each one of which means a speedy and convenient avenue of traffic between the rural communities and the large trade centers in the near future. And tbey fully realize also, that the day which marks the completion of these pro jected roud and actually establishes direct communication with the large centers of trade, will mark an upward movement Id the values of the lands which they have bought, that means fortune to them. In the network of projected railways, Polk County is situated most fortu nately. In addition to the twoSouthern Paciflo lines already running through it, and the Dallas-Falls City line that has been In operation for over five years, two more lines are to be built, une, tne JJailas-Salem branch of the Balem, Falls City & Western, is already in process of construction. The other, a branch or the Oregon Electric system soon to be built, strikes through the county from north to south, cutting through some of the most fertile farming land In the state. All of this means that Polk county, with all of its remarkable resources,' is soon to be placed In perfect touch with the market centers where Its pro ducts may be disposed of to the best advantage. The certainty of that fact makes It sure that land values in the county are destined to advance posi tively and rapidly and the develop ment of the county in the coming J decade will probablv exceed that r the past score of years. Judge Burnett's department of olr- cuit court for the May term was adjourned late yesterday evening after a busy session lasting four days. The local option cases Introduced from the findings of the grand jury which was dismissed Tuesday after noon, attracted a large degree of Inter est during the remainder of the session. Of the three cases brought up, one against Thomas Sullivan, was con tinued, a conviction followed by a fine of $300 was secured against E. Owens in another, while the defendant In the third case, John fliltibrand, withdrew his plea of not guilty and entering a plea of guilty, was fined $100 and costs. Evidence in the case against Mr. Owens was furnished mainly by O. F. Parker and C. W. Demorest, of Portland, two detectives in the employ of the anti-saloon league, who served as witnesses in the local option cases in the justice court last month. The case of F. Moyer against the Polk County Mill & Lumber Coin paDy occupied the greater part of yester day's session. Mr. Moyer was suing for damages against the company for njuries received while in its employ. a. a. Latourette, of Portland, was attorney for the plaintiff and Oscar Hayter for the defendant. The jury retired shortly before 6 o'clock and at AS returned a verdict ic favor of the defendan t. Following is the disposal of the cases on docket since Tuesday : M.

N- imainri a The price of hogs broke a record for the present season Wednesday by a ale within the 24 hours of a lot at $7.90 These were the supplies sent in luesday by Moorehead & Hoctor of Uoldendale and weighed on an aver age of 277 pounds. In quality the Ooldendale arrivals were the best received here during the present sea son and compared most favorably with any of the corn fed stuff received this season from the east. The sale of the Ooldendale lot of hogs at the highest price of the season indicates 'iiiue cieany tnat Ills quite 1UI LIIO Pacific northwest to turn out , a" K"u nog quality as any other Place in the country. While the Ool dendale salo was made at the high record of the year because of the unusually One quality, the local boa market in general is In the best possi ble condition, and it would be quite easy to obtain within several fractions or up to the high ruaik for good quality In the near future.-PortTand Journal, The advancing prices for hogs com bined with the fact that the big Swift racmng plant In Portland will begin "us aunimer, opening up bo enormous new demand, prophesies a new era or prosperity for breeders and miners of swine and makes It probable that a large portion of the wealth of the raclflc Northwest will emanate rrom that aouroe Id the future.
