Oregon, to grasp this opportunity
Two years before the opening of the
Lewis and Clark exposition a heavy
campaign or education was lnaugur
ated by those lines to direct attention
to the fair and to the Pacific North
west in general. Every one of the
riuii.uuu books, booklets, maps and
folders issued contained articles and
illustrations upon the exposition, urg
ing Eastern people to take advantage
.t tne very low rutes to tins section,
How well this was heeded is beet told
by a glance at our advertising store

usually large supply of printed mat
I nr, so great has been the demand for
literature that it will be necessary to
issue new printed mutter lor IDOu con
sidi'rahly earlier than has been our
custom.
The advertising campaigns carriod
on by the railroads are so enormous
(hat but few realize their magnitude.
During the mouth of May, 1U05, the
advertising department of the Oregon
liailroad & Navigation company sent
out .Ji.oiO pieces of advertising mat
(or, and during June about 42.000.
These went to all parts of the United
btutes Riiil to foreign countries, an
many there are who do not appreciate
what the general passengor agent is
doing; that iu advertising travel he is
incidentally advertising all other
commodities; that every new settler
brought into a community means
new subscriber to one or more news
papers, a new factor iu the neighbor
hood and therefore a means of increas
iiig every business necessary to supply
his wauts.
lOver westward lias leen the march
of civiliaztion, and today the eyes of
the entire world are upon Oregon

clock-like regulaiity, barken to the
houshaiiflniHii's song and pour Into

and truit. And no one year is an ex

Don't liorrow Trauble.
II is a bad habit to borrow anything
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow, is trouble. When sick, sore,
heavy, weary and worn-out by the pains
and poisons of dyspepsia, biliousness,
llriglit's disease, and similar internal
dis inters, don t sit down una brood
over your symptoms, but fly to relief
to l-.ectric liilteis. Here you win lino

lie burdened by a load of debt disease.

The Effect of a Bad rack.
Field and Farm.
While the comnilssirn men are al
ways accused of double dealing In
handling Colorado products no one
outside the trade can imagine the
trouble every bouse has In securing
an Honest pack from the growers.
We were talking the other day with a
prominent commission merchant
when by way of illustration he unfold
ed a few of his troubles. He said
"Much of the fruit handled by our
house last fall was manifested to us
as fancy. Many of these cars were
rejected two, tbiee and even four
times and were finally sold by our
men at what they would bring al
though at serious loss, not only to
tne snippers but to oursslves as well.
as it is Impossible to handle these
cars for the small commission which
we get. We sent some apples to Cali
foruia and with the execution of one
car, they were all refused. One of
the firm went out to dispose of these
apples, and the sales were made to
the very best advantage. He reported
that in every case there were good
grounds for refusal or complaint.
"it was my misfortune to have to
dispose of a certain car load the last
of February that had been stored in
St. Louis. It was supposed to con
tain all faucy fruit, excepting eighty
Doxes or sso. 'i lien Davis. They were
rted Genetons. Black Twigs. Ben
Davis and Ureenings. The market
was in good conditiou Receipts were
very light from the east and the price
tor fancy apples was ruling at from
$1.20 to $1.40 a box. I had succeeded
in getting four of the largest and best
fruit men to go down to look at these
apples In examining the fruit, they
round the pack absolutely irregular,
running from culls No 2, to faucy,
mis-marked and some of the fruit
wilted, evidently caused by being
frozen or frosted on trees before picking.
"They would not consider the car
at the price which I had quoted them
nor would any of tbem even make an
offer of freight and refrigerator
charges. I hud this car of apples
drayed up town, repacked and de
cided to sell it to best advantage, let
ting tbo desirable varieties like the
Oeuetons go first. Four men weie in
the market for good Genetons at $1.40
a box. They came back and looked
at the fruit after it was repacked, and
one of tbem who was entirely out of
Colorado apples, after examining
eight or ten boxes, turned away in
disgust and said be did not come over
to look at or buy culls. As it was im
possible to sell them at any price to
the legitimate trade, the only thnig
left to do with these apples was to put
them through the auction, which was
attended by about one hundred Ital
ians or peddlers. The car sold for
i:i7!).9,r).
"After deducting the charges of re
packing, drayage, freight, storage and
$18.70 commission, which was only
one-fourth of my expenses, tho net re
turns left the shipper was ?d(i !)!. 1
must say that iu my experience ol
nearly thirty years iu handling and
selling fruit, this car of apples was
the hardest proposition to tell or
lace of any oar of fruit I ever hand
led and the principal reason for it
was the irregular pack, mi -marks and
fruit not up to grade Part of this
fruit was No. 1. tepecially the Black
Twigs, but the buyers were afraid for
the reason that the fruit was not regu
lar and they did not bare time to
open up every box and examine it
through to the bottom."

Alfalfa Experiments.
Corvallis Times.
Alfalfa on the Oregon agricultural
college farm made a yield of green
feed this season, (hat measured in
curod weight would have made six aud
one-hblf tons of hay per acre. It is
yield strikingly at variance with
the graiu crop, because., it is 50 tier
cent larger than any fbrmei crop, all
in spite of bugs 'add the drouth con
ditions of the late season. It inspires
wonder that more farmers do not grow
alfalfa, since this college alfafa crop
was produced on land no better than
tho ordinary wheat laud, without a
lckle's wortn of artificial fertilizer.
and under circumstances applicable
on nearly any wheat farm iu the Wil
lumette valley.

of alfalfa, that all told aggregated Hi-
i.) pounds of green food. The high
est yield in auy former year since the
held was Seeded to alfalfa was 55,744
pounds of green feed, equivalent to
lue and one-fourth tons of hav for
the two acres. The average yield per
acre during the lour years the Held
has been cropped is four and a half
tons of bay per acre. The yield in

no other school in the valley that can
claimltbe honor of retaining the ban
uer month after month for the entire
school year.
School began at Pine Grove Mon
day, September 18, with an attend
ance of about 75 pupils.
W. S. Wiuchell aud friends from II
linois were looking over the valley last
week and became so enthusiastic over
the apples grown on the East Side ap
ple belt that they are thinking of lo
cating here.
Mrs. C. P. Kuapp has been very
sick, and it was not until a few days

Grove where the good apples are
grown.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Trout Lake Dairy association was
held Friday afternoon at the cheese
factory. For some time it has been
discussed by the directors of the fao
tory concerning the building of a
dwelling house for the cheese and
butter-maker, but this body could not
agree, so it was decided to call a gen
eral meeting of the stockholders. It
is reported quite a spirited contest
was had, but when the ballots were
counted the proposition was carried.
The dwelling house will be elected at
once on ground owned by the associa
tion at the factory.
