for trade for Mor

ib from Oregon
, of which Is In a
high state of cultivation, the rest be
ing pasture and some good timber.
Tliis land Is adapted to truck farm
ing or dairying; has a fairly good
house and a large dairy barn and a
number of outbuildings; has a splen
did orchard, and also a number of
nut trees, all well fenced. Five good
cows go with the place and all of the
farm implements. This place is lo
cated on two public thoroughfares
and is considered one of the best
farms in that section of the country.
To anyone desiring a home in the
Willamette Valley this would be an
opportunity they could not afford to
overlook.

THE AMERICAN 1$ SELLING OUT.
The American is selling himself out of business. In some
lines this is virtually true and especially is it a pronounced
fact as regards the leather market. According to trade reports,
the leather market at the present time s in the most unsatis
factory condition possible. This is due to high prices and the
scarcity of hides. The foreign exportation of hides and leather
goods the past few months has hit a new high point. English
buyers bought all the Wet Stilted South American Packer hides
taken off up to. April 1, 1917. Two weeks ago Russia bought
750,000 sides, or $7,500,000 worth of sole leather. Japan has
bought 50,000 sides to make Russian army boots. The result
of these larger shipments may mean that shoe factories will
have to close down within the next six months for want of leath
er. In the meantime our own citizens are having to pay all the
way from one to five dollars more for a pair of shoes and the
cost is rising daily. Leather dealers and shoe manufacturers
cannot quote prices for any longer time than one day to the next
and then filling orders is an uncertainty.
The leather situation is only one indication of the effect
the European war and the consequent rush of supplies from
this county to the allies, is having upon our industrial life at
home.
Since the American manufacturer and the producer of the
raw materials started selling out, prices at home have continued
to rise, until now they have soared to such dizzy heights that
only those directly interested in supplying the war demand can
afford to smile in spite of the high cost of existence. An embar
go on the necessaries of life might be the means of bringing
prices back to their former level and keeping them somewhere
within reason.
Now that we are about to get in direct transportation com
munication with Ritter, how nice it would be if the Monument
mail route could be re-established.
t-t
We wonder how many of our own citizens realize that they
are living in the richest county per capita in the Northwest, if
not in the entire United States. A four million dollar wheat
crop with the bumper season for sheep and wool just preceding,
has made Morrow county wealthy; pulling many farmers out of
debt and putting many more of them on easy street.
IT SOUNDS GOOD.
The best estimate of the value of all Oregon crops of grain,
fruit, fish, vegetables, live stock and dairy products for 1916
at war prices is placed at $130,000,000.
Now there comes a proposition whereby that amount of
money may be increased by $100,000,000. The North Pacific
Tourists Association are now at work sowing the seed that will
produce a hundred-million-dollar tourist crop into the laps of
Oregon farmers, laborers and merchants.
If they should get only $50,000,000 a year from tourists it
would be more money than is brought into the state by wheat
-ml rattle: it would double the value of the combined truit
'.rops; it would be more money than Oregon gets for her pota
toes, corn, barley, rye, oats and hay.
The tourists association has adopted the same plan, with
improvements, that has been successful in getting tourists to
California and to Switzerland. They will combine the big scen
ic attractions of the Northwest and advertise them as one tour.
It is intended to feature the summer climate of the Northwest
find to induce tourists to stay here for months, visiting every
section of the state. That means that every community will
secure its share of this new money, and that its resources will
be looked over by the men who are able ot buy.
With all Oregon interested the legislature will be asked to
finance the Northwest Pacific Coast Tourist Association for
$25,000 a year for two years. Washington and British Colum
bia will do their part.
If the legislature refuses to make the appropriation the
plan will be dropped. It would be impossible to raise the money
by subscription ; and it is doubtful if it should bo. Every citizen
is benefitted by the new money brought here by the tourist, and
why should not every citizen pay the few cents that this sum
means to each taxpayer of the state.
The farmer that got his grain all threshed and in the
warehouse before the Fall. rains and the Winter set in, has a
whole lot to be thankful for.
With the completion of the Ritter-Heppner road comes the
increase in hog shipments from the local yards. Ritter is the
center of a rich stock country and with better market facilities
that industry will be given a great impetus. Heppner is bound
to reap big benefits.
