It beg lus ti look a though there
was a strong Ukehood that Hill and

It will Iw remembered that the
President of tbe Oregou Truult Line

That effort, though wa ara not advised

givea a encouragement to aay tba least
as to the probability of Lakeview

wood crop will more than pay for

Tbe government experts say tbat
