The building of railroads Into the Interior of the state make the semi arid districts accessible for reelauia tiou projects. Just what district will be benefitted first by new Irrigation works has not yet been announced. FOR BETTER ROADS. Better roads for this state Is the object of the Oregon Good Roads As soc. aiion, formed during the past week with a strong membership. The association will work for good roads legislation, uniform plans of Improve ment throughout the state and the collection of money for road building. It Is planned to collect a fund of $15,000 during the next two years and engage a competent road engin eer who shall direct all road work In the state. Much good Is expected to result from the formation of the association. Only one grower from Polk county entered apples In competition at the Albany fair last week. Peter Kurre was there with five boxes of choice apples of the Grimes' Golden, Bald win, King, Spitzenburg and Russian Baldwin varieties. He brought home honi-rs for the county. Scarcity of! apples in Polk county Is the reason i there were no other competitors, j With soil and climate to excell any ; other locality there is no excuse for I this bhortage. Let's have more apple J orchards in the county. The premi-; uin box at .hat fair sold at $22. Good, apples are in demand. In the final report of the apple crop of the United States, the American Agriculturist, un i, r date of October 30, places the total for 1909 at 22,735,000 barrels. This compares with 25,450,000 barrels in 1908. This is the third year of in different apple crops and the totals named fall far short of such sea sons as 1906; 1904 and that ever mem orable bumper crop of 1896, which is still discussed and recognized as a high-water mark in the conventions of fruitgrowers and dealers. There is strong talk of a state and county convention system of nomin ating candidates this year for the Re publican party. There are several reasons for this. One Is that to get the best timber it is not the longest money bag that counts and if a con vention is , called the man can be selected from the mass. The prima ry system is expensive and a man in moderate circumstances can not afford to run for the best offices. In the county the expense question en ters in to the matter and then the matter of Just distribution of office over the county enters in a large scale. We favor something that will do away with the double campaign and yet will give us clean politics and efficient officers. Oregon Ori ano. There can be no mistake made in planting walnuts in the Willamette valley. Not when they are being shipped from California by the car load to be marketed in this state. Walnuts yield $1500 an acre in Cal ifornia and Oregon produces a nut superior to those grown in that state, in size, in softness of shell and In color. Market for walnuts is not affected by an over production. The demand is so general that it will not be affected for a quarter of a centu ry and perhaps never. The demand will Increase for the appetite teases for Oregon walnuts once you get a taste of them. The greatest ball season in the his tory of coast league playing closed the first of this week at Portland. McCreedie has developed into a good manager. We must -have the pen nant next season, Mc, for Portland and Oregon. Only one paper of Polk county re fused to publish anything to boost for the apple fair at Albany, but that paper did muster up enterprise enough to reprint a slur from the Al bany Di'iumrai on a paper which vol unteered more missionary work In that direction than all the rest 'f tho Polk county papers combined. Just think of It: a Jersey in f only i,vntien days old selling f.r $70. Twli i as much as the common grade cow would bring with a calf at her hide, and the calf you couldn't five away. To think that -Jerseys can be raised on the an me feed ami mn'ir fame conditions that gride a.i Inmts inn, where la the excuse fur not growing the best! Keception of the fanners' demon stration train In eastern Oregon was much different from that accorded It In the Willamette valley. Here a few men and boys congregated at the depo , more through curiosity than through any thought of profit. In lastern Oregon the trains were met by large delegations headed with brass bands. Yet, strange to miy, In the Willamette valley they farm whili In eastern Oregon they grow wheat and raise bench grass hoists and cat tle. Inconslsieiuy, thou art a Jewel. Will Restock With Salmon. The Columbia river will be re stocked with soikeye salmon as a re sult of a visit during the past we- k of United States Fish Commissioner George H. Bowers of Washington, I). C. He has ordered the shlpiu'-nt of 2.000,000 sockeye eggs from the Yes Bay. Alaska, hatchery to be delivered to the Bonneville hatchery, and the young fry will be turned Into the Col umbia. During the past few years the sockeye has h?en growing scarce In the Columbia but it Is believed that this fine variety of commercial fish will be propagated in sufficient quantities to meet the ravage of the fishermen by restocking the river.
