A. C. 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

service to public
officials.

"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

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.
