Twenty Years of Achievement,
At tlw beginning of 1SS7 there were
la the whole world less tban amy
miles of electric railroad track, and
only about one hundred motors and
motor cars. In 1003 tliera were nearly
thirty thousand tuiles of electric track
tn the Vnlted States aloue.
This clisnee was not aecompilsned
without opposition. discouragement
and financial dilllctiltlea. Mr. Kpragwe
himself, who was so potent a factor In
working this change, has told the story
of his first Important contract In the
aprlng of 1SS7, the Union Passenger
Eallway company of Itlchmond, a.

The farmer who does not watch the
market reports and prices will be at a
disadvantage. If nn article wus high
last year it may induce many to grow
large crops of it this year. If an article
is low it is possible that many will not
make any attempt to grow anything In
that line. An experienced farmer states
that he always plants the crop that oth
ers will not grow, for then it is sure to
lie 1m.1ow the deiuaivl and bring a good
price. His method is worthy of consid
eration by others.

The line weather of the last two weeks
has put the farmers all to work, and the
rural communities present a busy scene
these days. Home plow ing, some work
ing up the fall plowing and others put
ting in their grain, while nearly every
one that has an orchard is pruning and
spraying. The pruning is lielng done
pretty heavy this year some cutting off
the whole top, and a good many trees
are being dug up. Henry Husla.e buy
ing dug up his entire prune orchard of a
couple of acres.
The surveyors for the Beaverton aud
Willsburg railroad after taking in seven

where barns were not so thick. They

crossing it where the Portland A Salem
Suburban road does. They have now

that dirt will begin to fly Ix fore a grea

Well, yes, the water has dried away am
