THE PROPHET WHITMAN
J'it.MONA FAVORS GOOD KOADS
After a spirited debato at the meet'
in of Linn County Pomona Grange
Wednesday, that body went on record
aa favoring the best kind of a high
way. There was opposition, but the
resolution urging the county court to
uso ita influence, to complete the pav
ing of the Pacific Highway through
the county from Jefferson to Harris
burg at the earliest possible date
passed by a good majority.
The Grange knows the value of
good roads and knows that the com.
plrtion of the trunk highway means
quicker resulta in obtaining branch
roads leading into the main artery.
Lebanon and Brownsville will be con
nected up before long and it is hoped
that the Cascades highway over the
mountains into Eastern Oregon will
not be a matter of many months in
being realised.
The spirit of good roads Is every

opposed it are now for it and they see

Walnuts Produce Well
Sol I.indlcy, a well-knQwn fitrnter
living southeast of town, has seven
walnut trees that bore an average of
100 poumla or more of nuta the past
season. He sold the nuts for from 32
to 85e a pund, so the product of
each tree brought from $30 to $10.
The nuts were lnrge, with soft shell
and of very fine quality. Mr. Lindlry
has 13 acres additional in walnuts,
which will come into bearing in a
few years. This shows the possibil
ities of walnut growing in this section.
A few trees should be set rut around
every home, as they are not only ex
cellent shade trees, but will bring
splendid returns. Lebanon Express.

If opponents of the league covenant
as it now stands believe there should
be changes it is logical f0r them to
suggest such changes, asks the East
Oregonian. Why they should object
to inclusion of the covennnt in tho

Gets Berry Contracts
Roy Fitzwatcr, who is employed as
field manager for the local cannery
this seas0n, reports that he is having
xcellent success in securing contracts
with growers to furnish berries, fruits

large quantity of berries have been
