Big V ictory For O regon G row n Seed Potatoes
No R ew ard O ffered But
‘ ‘Pride of Multnomah” Potato won the first prize at Sm Fran­
cisco Fair for the best acre of potatoes grown in California.
Another evidence of Oregon’s agricultural supremacy is a letter
and a photograph just received by the Portland Seed Company
of Portland from the owners o f the Boa Vista Ranch at Placer-
ville, California.
The photograph shows a corner of the acre of potatoes which
won first prize in the state competition for the best acre of pota­
toes grown in California.

Mr. E. H. Phreaner, one of the owners of the Boa Vista Ranch,
writes: “ We are very pleased with the results obtained from your
seed (Pride of Multnomah and Snow), and will be in the market
for several cars of seed potatoes. Have just received word that
our exhibit of potatoes at the Panama Pacific International Expo­
sition won the Grand Prize.
Boa Vista Ranch also won the competition for the best acre of
potatoes — 790 bushels o f clean, healthy stock: ‘ ‘Pride of
Multnomah.”
T h e ‘ ‘Pride of Multnomah” is one of the standard varieties of
potatoes grown in Oregon.
It has been grown in Oregon for
seven years, and many experts regard it as in every way the
best potato for Western Oregon.
It has been shipped to all parts of the United States for seed
purposes, and only excellent reports have been received.
Its signal honors, won in Ca.ifornia, now give it official recog­
nition as the very head of the list.
This potato is well known among most Oregon growers, and is
popular because of its heavy yielding qualities, its uniformity, and
its fine grain.
It is an ideal baking and boiling potato.
It is
also famous for its keeping qualities.
The State of Oregon won practically all the agricultural honors at
the Panama Pacific Exposition. This is just another demonstration
of Northwestern superiority, which we at home are the last to realize.
In a recent issue of the St Paul
Sunday Dispatch, appeared an
illustrated account o f the Caza­
dero power plant, which all goes
to show that Clackamas County’s
resources are not limited. An­
o t h e r publication contained a
news note of a railroad to be built
between Cazadero and Garfield,
but this is evidently a mistake,
as nothing more important than
a good wagon road has been con­
templated.
Albert Kitchingof Currinsville
last week purchased in Portland
a light team of matched farm
horses.
An informal dancing party was
held at the C. I. C. room last Sat­
urday evening, about a dozen
couples participating.
C om pa ny T akes O v er Farm
With the removal recently of
Wm. Young and family from the
big Springwater farm, which he
has leased for several years past
from the P. R. L. & P. Co., the
company has taken over the op­
eration o f the property.
Engineer Frank Ewing of the
Upper Dam and his assistants
are now tackling the job of real
farming, getting the land in con­
dition for the planting 6f hay
and pasturage crops.
It is hoped that later on, the
company will use part o f this
land for experimental purposes.
At present Mr. and Mrs. Ewing
are not living on the place, but
may move on to it later.

While the news is offering no
reward for information which
will lead to the identity of the
party pictured herewith, it does
claim he is wanted and wanted
for County Commissioner to rep­
resent Eastern Clackamas Coun­
ty.
This picture is of MR. J. W.
Reed, which probably accounts
for the white shirt and collar
and curl in his hair, but the man
whom the voters of this section
almost unanimously endorsed for
their choice as County Commis­
sioner, was J. W. Reed, who is
more readily recognized in his
every day working clothes, con­
sisting of a battered derby hat,
overalls and grease smeared
hands.
It is plain ‘ ‘J. W .” as a work­
ing man, a man always working
and ready to work, that the vot­
ers had in mind when they en­
dorsed him, but probably his wife
would not let him have his photo
taken in other than his “ Sunday
go to meetings. ”
Neither “ J. W .” the work­
er, nor M R. J. W. Reed of the
starched shirt, are much given
to oratory, nor to wielding the
pen or typewriter, so just what
his platform consists of, is slight-
1 y vague and limited, b u t
summed up, consists of a willing­
ness to assume the responsibil­
ities of the commissionership and
do his best. Modesty is a virtue
with him, but he will admit that
he believes his experience in
road and bridge building matters,
coupled with hard work, fair
fighting and honesty, qualifies
him for the job, if the voters see
fit to elect him as the Republi­
can nominee.
Mr. Reed is one of the heaviest
taxpayers in this section, and for
years past has been c losely identi­
fied with and has personally
worked for all local development.
Being in the automobile busi­
ness, Mr. Reed is naturally a
“ good roads” advocate and there
probably is not a stretch of road
in this part of the county, with
which he is not well acquainted.
“ J. W. ” is primarily a builder and
outside man and does not believe
that as much good can be done
by a county commissioner sitting
at his desk in the court house, as
by a commissioner out on the job.
where the actual road work is be­
ing done.
