objectione at first to the construction
of the Coopers Spur of the Mount
Hood Loop rood, a 10 or 12-mUe
stretch that would cost about >80,000
unless proper hotel accommodations
were made available at Cloud Cap for

_A aerie« of «tories of successful
Oregon farmers is now being com­
piled by the Land Bettlement depart­
ment of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce which are to be used in
lecture« and In connection with pic­
tures this winter by the Northern
Pacific Railway company in their
great middleweat advertising cam­
paign.
The object of these letters la to
induce settlers to come to Oregon and
the stories are actual experiences of
farmers who have come here to lo­
cate In the various sections of the
state.
Three stories have Just been re­
ceived from Eugene, strongly boosting
Oregon. Mrs. Belle Lydlck tell« of
her search for a home from the time
«he left Denver, Colo., in 1910, until
the time when they entered the north­
west via California, stopping at Eu­
gene when the orchards were in full
bloom, and the country in full glory
'6f springtime.
They purchased a
30-« ere English walnut orchard, and
are enthusiastic in their praise of
this type of Industry, aa well as the
“matchltaa scenery and the irresist-
able lurA of the great outdoor«" that
Oregon has to offer.
John Tharmer. who came from
Minnesota in 1904, and settled in
Eugene, tells his story of farming on
30 acres of Oregon soil. He has a
diversified farm of fruita. nuts,
grains, poultry and stock. This year
be picked 144,200 pounds of cherries
from nine acres, 22.280 pounds of
prunes from six acres. 19,280 pounds
of beans from 2*4 acres, and 1*4
tons of nuts which brought him from
23 cents to 80 cents a pound. Mr.
Thramer says he likes the cooperative
spirit of the Oregon farmers.
it. B. Thompson, another success­
ful farmer from this section, sub­
mits ills story telliug of the dairy
possibilities in the Willamette valley.
He bought a flO-acre ranch, started in
with purebred Guernsey cattle as a
basis for his herd. His business has

better than Minnesota, because the
winters are not so cold, and because
here there is green feed for the

MR. GROWER:

Hunting rats with a broomstick in
(lie Oak grove school last Friday
f night, the Janitor, J. E. Jones, a
crippled man past middle age. ran
suddenly on an apple harvest tramp,
who had climbed a fire escape and
sought a night’s lodging in the build­
ing. The aged Janitor, startled by
suddenly stumbling on the intruder,
as be crouched behind a door in a
cloak room, struck the man, young
and husky, over the head with his
broomstick and collared him.
**I was at first going to lock up the
man In the cloak room and call the
sheriff," said Mr. Jones, telling about
the encounter, “but then I thought
perhaps he was some innocent fellow
not bent on mischief, so 1 let him go.
He seemed grateful, and declared he
Would follow my Instructions and get
out of the neighborhood as faat as
possible.
“I wasn’t frightened until the thing
was all over with and I had returned
to my room on the first floor of the
school building. Then I got a scare
over thinking of what might have
happened had the man attacked me.
We have Iieen having trouble with
rata lately, and when I heard the
nohie. I never <pice thought of a man.
but suspected that the varmints had
succeeded in getting upstairs. I was
seeking them with my light broom­
stick, when I ran into the intruder."
POSTAL BILL VETO
IS EASILY EXPLAINED
There lias iieen plenty of criticism
of President Coolidge because of hie
failure to approve the bill to increase
salaries of letter carriers and postal
clerks, hut. according to the Repub­
lican State Central committee bend­
quarters here, thia adverse comment
comes from persons not familiar with
the facta.
Tlw committee points out that two
measures for relief of the underpaid
postal workers were considered, one
that bad the approval of the adminis­
tration and was recommended by
Postmaster General New. Mr. New,
moreover, is the only postmaster gen­
eral who haa ever proposed higher
pay tyr all postal workers.
The administration measure car­
ried an expenditure of >48,000,000 and
would have iieen signed by the preal-1
dent had it passed. But the postal
employes stood out for their own bill,
appropriating >08.000.000 and. unlike
the other, providing no means of
meeting -thia added expenditure.
It was that bill the president ve­
toed. hie reason being that the meas­
ure did not provide for the proposed
expenditure and he was compelled to
give it hie disapproval. His action,
viewed In connecUoa with the ad mtn
1st rat Ion bill for the relief of postal
employes, did not show him out of
sympathy with the needs of the post­
office workers.
