WHY WEST IS INTERESTED
. v - o
The large amounts of money spent In putting together
tne plants ot western metal producers in . recent years
amounts to approximately a biUlon dollars. '
' The bulk of this money came from eastern investors and
the west received the greatest benefit from the expenditure
ana steaay payrolls maintained..
This is the reason why the west is interested in main
talMrig conditions which will make is possible for such In
dustries to develoo and eet needed capital.
The west is peculiarly dependent on foreign orders and
outside capital investments to maintain its prosperity. .
We have unlimited resources but it takes money to de
velop them and purchasers to buy, as our own local re'
quirements are small. ' ;
This is why we should all hum ourselves to establish
and maintain sound measures in matters relating to legisla
tion. labor Questions and taxation.
Delayed ratification of peace negotiations is severely
injuring western industries at this time.

NO LUCK BUT FORESIGHT
Published figures from England show that English
jam manufacturers. and canneries last season paid the fol
lowing prices per ton for berries: .
Red Raspberries $425.00 .
Black Currants $525.00
Red Currants $250.00 .' ;
Gooseberries $230.00
Strawberries $480.00
- Some timid people fear that present activity in berry
culture in western Oregon and Washington is only tempor
ary. These persons should study condtions. :
To beein with, the rest of the world cannot raise ber
ries as well as we can and large. parts of the world raise
none at all. On the other hand the whole world likes ber
ries in their different preserved and canned forms.
A pint or a quart jar, tin or bottle of preserved fruit or
fruit juice, such as the jam and juice company at Salem,
Oregon, or Olympic, Washington puts out, can be shipped
to the ends of the world at a price any family can pay.
Thus is the world supplied with a necessary, wholesome
and much sought after food product, the demand for which
will grow as consumers find they can get it. The amount
manufatcured is almost nothing compared to the market it

MARY HAD A LITTLE MAN
Oh, Mary had a little Plan,
And it was wondrous wise,.
To capture every married man .
Who had a pair of eyes.
She tried it out in school one time,
(It was against the rules);
But Mistress Mary didn't mind
Her plan worked like six mules.
Now shall I tell you, what she did
To cause strong men to shiver
She wed a man one-third her 4'zc
And alwaya led him with 'er. -.
