Al though an elicit bus been made for several jeais pust to get him lo come, be bus never before consent ai am) this will probably be the greatest drawing eard of the program that MUld be secured in the Uuited States. Last year over four hundred at tended and took part iu the Couveu lion at Salem ami this year we hope to bring one thousHtid active dairy men together at the Portland Con veil tion. The four State Dairy Inspec tors who aie HUiong the dairymen ol Die state will nil oombiue to work for the coming Convention uud there is every reason to believe that it will be the largest In the- hlsotry of the Association uud an impetus to dairy ing iu Oiegou. LARGEST ORCHARD EOR LINN COUNTY The 3000 acre orchard of the Liun haven Orchard Company, which will be by far the largest orchard In Ore gon will lie between Crnbtreo and hucomb, iu Dje northern part ol Linn County, and about 14 miles northwest ot Albiiuy. ihe site has been dellnitely agreed upon uud enough land for the ptopusud oichard seemed. Officers ot the oomnany have relus ed to give definite figures regarding the amount, of land secured or the location ot each piece, but confirmed the rumor that tbo site foi the IBS' mouse orchard has been cbos in and that tt wiil lie between l.aimmb and Ciabtree. It is reported that options have been secured on ulraoet iMO sores uud that deals have been com pleted for 2000 acres. The 2000 acres on which the deal is completely closed lie 1h a compact body nottb, west uud south of the ullage of Laoomb. it is sHid thai opitous have beeu secured on a mini tier of t riots lying aouth of KHOomb, between that point uud Crabtree, uud Dial deuls will be closed up in the next few days. l'he land secured is all foothill land and is taled us tirst cluss apple laud. I'his site for Ihe orchard was secured both because this part of the country is not thickly settled ami a big con tiguous tiact could be secured, aud also because Oregon bill land is pre. noiinoed by hoi tlculturists as the best upple land iu the world. 'The Kinuhuven Orchard Company mas incorporated recently in Albany ty a number of locul men. Several of AitiHUy's most wealthy men are included in its stockholdeis, and some ESastern oapltal is also interest ed, l'he setting out of the orchard will begin us soon us possible. Populating The West. The speciHl colonist rates that were ottered by the llsrriman lines I or one month proved of vast benefit to the northwest. It is reported thut In the ilO duyu thut Die low colonist rules were in force on the tiuuscou t mental lines, the O. K. A N. brought 7104 homeseekers to Oregon and Washington points. this year the rules becume effective September 15 and were olfered only until October 15. bast year the shUi peloid whs foi (jo days uud in the en tire two months or I'.lllH the O. K. A . curried 8177 persons to Oregon and Washington points. The renord for this year therefore shows that in half the time the number taking advan tage ot the rates was within 1318 of the number that pi rohased tickets in the entire period of the preceding your. In the last HI days of ths oolou ist rate perold ot liloH, which corres ponds with the tolHl sale period this yeai, the railroad brought in l.VIH colonist ticket-holders or 2020 lewer than tills your. The travel in the 1909 preold was over ."" per oeut greater than in tbo cnriespoiidlug days of KJOH. In grunting the special colonist rates the llarrimun oHIoihIh did nom tneodable work. Out of the 7000 people who came west the rates were iu elfeot it Is safe to say the majority will locate it they have not alreudy done so. Here's hoping that iu the future the railroad men will continue the broad minded policy ot granting special intervals. It is an effective wuy to populate the west. A Correction.
