" The Oregon climate is a dream of
paradise 'come true.' All last winter,
while the whiskey was freezing in your
glasses from Dakota to Maine and Nova
Scotia, the grass in Portland was green
I as May or 'leafy June,' lawn mowers
were running, and (lowers were blooming
I everywhere. And all this summrer, while
you eastern wobegones will be picking
baked apples from your trees, digging
I roasted turnips and potatoes out of your
gardens, and catching boiled cattish out
of your lakes and streams, Oregoulans
and Washlngtonians will wear flannels
and sleep under blankets."

Profits In Large Bodies ol Low Grade Ores.
In no Held of enterprise has greater
progress been made during recent years
than in the methods o( saving the values
of low grade ores, and in no field could

' revolution has been accomplished. Ores
