FAC TS AB O U T OREGON
Consider the following facta about
Oregon:
Oregon has the most rugged and
picturesque scenery o f any weatarn
state, coupled with the finest road sys­
tem.
Oregon has more standing timber
than any other state— one-fifth o f the
remaining timber
of
the United
States.
One-third of the undeveloped hydro
electric power of the United' States is
in the Columbia River basin.
Oregon is only ten per cent develop­
ed agriculturally, yet this state holds
seven o f a total o f eight world’s rec­
ords fo r milk and butterfat production
in the Jersey division; four-fifths
the world’s supply o f loganberries is
raised ir. Oregon; the world’s record
strain of egg-laying hens was da rel­
oped in Oregon; Oregon apple«, pears,
walnuts and cheese command a pre­
mium on the markets of the world.
Oregon has a greater diversity
soil and climate, according to the
United State« Department o f A g ri
culture, than any ether state iu the
Union.

WORDS
The following word o f warning
against the proposed recall o f Govern
or Pierce is from the Oregon Voter,
which, whatever it bass been, certain
ly never was a partisan o f the Gov
ernor:
“ There’s no telling whether a new
governor, elected on a recall, would
prove to be any better than Pierce.
With all his weaknesses Pierce’s
ministration has not been so bad as
to become intolerable, and there
no certainty o f what a — -
might do after a recall election. The
