HOUGH, The county wort of this conuty, says the Salem Statesman, with a commendable desire to its interests by advertising its re sources and advantages in the Eastern states and thereby secure desirable immigration and the introduction of capital has appropriated $500 to pay for 16 pages in a book which the Portland board of trade is preparing for circulation through the aid of the big railroad companies and their im migration bureaus, the intention be ing to print 60,000 copies of the books 15,000 copies to be substantially boand aud the remainder in paper covers. There is no doubt bnt inch publi cations do a certain amount of good in advertising the- ooontry of which tney are descriptive, bnt there are many people who do not consider them the best means of reaching the desired resnlts and who believe that similar amount of money expended lb other lines won Id do more good. A prominent gentleman of Marion county in discussing the matter re ceutly advanced the following theory : "I believe," he said, "that $500 expended in sending the Eastern status the everyday newspapers of this locality containing a regular rehearsal of the life and accomplishment of the community, won Id produce better and more lasting results than any number of big books of special matter which can be circulated. I would not. send boom editions, or special editions, but I would adopt a pliiu of this kind : Let the oounty oonrt appropriate a certain amount of money to be used in sending newspaper! back to the Eastern states say for three months. Then, let lersous who are living here aud have friuuds or acquaintances in the east who would be desirable resi dents of Oregon, hand in their names to the newspapers and have the papets sent to them for one, two or three mouths so that tliev could rmd tli j current liiHtory of this region. Two hundred weekly or semi-weekly news papers oould be sent in this way for three mouths for $100 or less, and for : $500 1000 newspapers for three mouths. Even better torms could timlmlilv h M vv made with publishers and more papers sent, aud I believe 1000 local newspapers visiting the people regularly, without any attempt at boom news, but just the current liter ature of the time, would do more good than all the Bpeuial advertising you cau ooucoot. "The newspapers could advertise the proposed arrangement and ask its patrons throughout the oouuty to send in one or more Dames of Eastern friends, with a statement of their for pnbiio ser give pastes or service to public officials.

O rants Pass, Total 4i 75 "I was very much pleased with ihis lot cf mohair, although there was not as much of the very long leugths as 1 would have liked it to be. I trust you will make an effort to supply me with larger quantities of loug mohair in the near future, as I am in need of it at all times. "Hoping to receive another ship ment from you soon, I remain, Yours respectively, L. LEVUtSSOVE. Mohair Is put through a process of j machinery that combs aud grades it into different lengths making five grades from a fleece. The price varies accordiug to the length, the long mohair bringing the highest jprioe. The age of the fleeces on I whloh Riddle & Sous received re i turns was 13 and 14 months. They j have about 40 to shear in the Spring aud the mohair will be about 3 years I old and even a higher price than $. j per pouud may be expected from the longest grade. Rural Spirit and took up a claim, and they tried 1 whiat-raising with very poor oral! least indifferent success. Drought and hot winds and sometimes frosts pie vented the raising of profitable crops, so one by one his neighbors became discouraged and left, Mr. Smith, who still bad faith in the region, or else had a strain of obstinacy that in tlii oase was a valnabie asset, buying their lands, until he has one of the largest farms in the state. This is the least important part of the story, which is that gradually the land be came productive, yielding on the average larger crops year by year until now wheat-raising there on good-sized farms is profitable, and on a great farm like Mr. Smith's the net returns are many thousands of dollars a year. This result, it may be presumed, and is indeed stated, is due in part to better and more careful mithods of farming thorough plowing and har rowing, best method of seeding, se lection of the best seed for that kind of land, and care in harvesting. But all this would not produce 20 bushels or more of wheat per acre on a desert ; the land itself became more produc tive with cultivation, which attracted and preserved needed moisture. The more Mr. Smith and his neighbors cutlivated their lands, the longer they stuok to them, the greater their faith in them and work on them, the great er became the crops. This is not a new or stranee phe nomenon. It hag been observed in her sections of the same county, in Gilliam and Morrow and Wasco and Baker and other counties, aud the ex-' plauation of it Is simple and the les son it teaches is plain. What a few years ago would I'ave seemed to be a miracle has been wrought in dry land farming, simply by faith and work. The Original.
