Dates and plans are well under

the opening of that pplemliil project
for the exte-mvon of river traffic.
President Wilson has been invited to
attend, also Admiral Dewey. Con
gress has passed an art authorizing
the attendance of three senators and
nine representatives at the beginning
of the festivities, May 5th.
Subjet to possible change, the pro
gram lias been outlined as follows:
May 3, at Lewiston, Idaho.
Forenoon, May 4, at Pasco and
leunewick; afternoon at Walla

OUR SPRING LINE FOR 1915
Commencing March 1, seven tons
of acclimated seed corn will be dis
tributed among farmers in the terri
tory served by the O.-W. R. & N.
railroad by C. L. Smith, the com
pany's farmer. It is the intention to
see that each farmer receives enough
seed to plant at least two acres,
which will enable him to prove to his
own satisfaction that it can be made
a success. The high price of wheat
making impossible the use of that
grain for stock feed, a greater acre
age of corn will be planted next
spring tnan ever before and special
efforts will be made to preserve the
fodder to take the place of hay in
feeding cattle.
A trail from the Columbia to the
summit of Larch Mountain is to be
built by the co-operation of the Port
land Ad. Club, the Progressive Busi
ness Men's Club, the Mazamas and
other civic organizations. It will
not be available for automobiles, but
will make it easy to climb the moun
tain on foot or horseback.
, i
It is stated that in the Willamette
Valley many farmers are plowing up
clover fields, and even clearing up
brush lands, for the purpose of in
creasing their wheat acreage, indicat
ing that, the coming season will see
the biggest grain crop ever harvested
in Western Oregon.
Governor Withycombe has issued a
proclamation setting aside Friday,
March 12, us "Canned Salmon Day",
and urging the people of the state
to use as much as possible of that
food on that day.
