PORTLAND MARKET RKI'ORT.
Portland, May 14. "Proof of the
fact that hardships sometimes work
benefit is to be found In any part
of Oregon just now," said a local
produce dealer, who has been In the
country the bettor part of the past
two weeks. '
"It has often boon remarked that
In growth and development Portland
was . away ahead of the rest of the
state; that while the city has risen
to .important; rank the country has
remained ' undeveloped,- scratched
In patches, so to speak; Its ngrlcul-
l tV.nU soiir-nag 6,v,m uut- s(:nnt ntton-

"High wage rates In other lines of
Industry and an aversion to farm
work, on the part of labor have been
almost wholly responsible for the
fact that for years past It haB beenj
difficult and In many cases impos
sible for the farmers of the state to
properly plant, cultivate and harvest
their crops. The gralngrowers and
owners of hay ranches in the east
ern part of the state can testify to
this, and the situation has been ex
actly the same with the fruit and
farm interests generally in the val
ley., Now things are. different.
. "In all parts of the state there Is
what might he-termed an awakening
Ulflaa
The streets have just been nicely graded and the- sale of lots is
brisk. Many people are buying the very choicest residence lots
at lower prices than will ever again be offered in Eugene.
People are waking up to the unusual advantages of BLAIR
STREET ADDITION. '
Do you realize what au investment in 'this addition will do for you? How can it avoid ad
vancing in value with these lots lying right against the built up district, and where the
city is certain to get its greatest growth? Let one of the ageuts named below take you
out there,. You don't need to buy if you don't want to, but we think you will want to after
you see these fine lots and "know-about the easy terms you make your. 'own terms' -you
may have. Better not wait; the other fellow is getting busy and it's time you acted, before
all are sold. . There arc only twenty 'lots and two acre tracts lf.et.

of interest in the soil, and this de
velopment can be traced directly to
the late financial crash that was res
ponsible for so much actual and
Imagined hardship a few months
back.. Wages have been cut to some
extent and oppirtunlties for work in
mills ancPcamps have been largely
curtailed. While wage reduction
would always eeem to be regretable,
the fact is that a result of the late
money squeeze thousands of men
wh heretofore shunned farm work
have turned to the farmB, and with
the change that has come it might be
said that a new era in Oregon de
velopment has set in.
"Farm labor, which has been
scarce for years, is now fairly plenti
ful. Farmers say they can now get
the help they need for $30 a month
and board, and they are taking ad
vantage of the situation that has
come about.
"Barring unfavorable weather con
ditions, which are not to be expect
ed, there will be larger farm crops
generally in this state this year than
ever before. And this Is not all. In
all sections of the western half of
the state fields have been extended
by the clearing away of underbrush
and timber, so the crop-producing
area is being enlarged. The acreage
of practically all farm crops will be
larger than ever before this year,
and the promise is for bigger pro
duction. "This will not necessarily mean
overproduction, except In a few
cases like hops. It simply means
that Oregon is destined In a few
years to produce the bulk, Instead of
a fraction of the crops the people of
the state need.
"A fact to be kept in mind in this
connection is that the stockraising
industry is coming to be recognized
as an Important one in this state.
From this time on, more hogs, cattle,
and sheep will he grown and fatten
ed for the Portland market than
ever before, but it will be years be
fore Oregon will be able to raise lire
stock sufficient for the demands of
this market. With agriculture tak
ing on new life und the stockraising
industry coming to the front there Is
prospect for development' In Ore

While thSre Is no real pressure In
the poultry market at this time,
stocks are hot cleaning up quite as
rendily along the street as could be
wished. There Is art Increasing sup

California Red Onions Arrive. .

fair demand at $3.50 3. 7o per
100 pounds Bermflda onions are
still In liberal demand, with former

The California steamer brought in
quite liberal supplies of carrots,
beets and other sacked vegetables,
supplies of which have been quite
short in this market of late.
Because of the quite liberal offer
ings, prices are down in the cherry
market. Both white and black

increase in eastern demnad.
' While the receipts of eggs at this
time are not heavy, they are fully
able to supply the demand at 18 j

chase supplies along Front Street at
these figures. During the past 24
hours large supplies of eggs ' havi
been. offered the boosting dealers at
18c a dozen,' but they would riot ac
cept them.
Portland .Iii'vestoeU Market,
ChUtd&htl hogs continue in strong
demand and reports to commission
men fro. mall parts of the Btate are
that available supplies are short of
requirements. The sheep market
shows a disposition to yield. The
demand is still fair, but hardly suf-:
flclent to take up the current, re-i
celpts which for soma weeks back
have been heavy.
There is good d6hiand for lambs,
