The gross circulation of the pub lications carrying classified advertising and news stories dealing with all parts of Oregon is 13,000,000. By taking the average of 3 1/2 readers to the family, a total of 45,- 000,000 readers will be reached. From November 1, t< April 1, the Oregon advertising will be reached. From November 1, to April 1, the Oregon advertising will run in every issue of the monhly, semi-monthly and week ly farm publications. In the news papers it will run every Sundav. From April 1, until November 1, the ad vertising wiil run once each month in farm publications and once monthly in newspapers. Inquiries have been received already by the state chamber of commerce, through which the state appro priation of $25,000 is being expended, at the rate of about 50 per day, which number is expected to be aug mented when monthly publications begin to reach their readers carrying this advertising.

Interior and Commerce, says: “The electric power industry of the country continues to maintain an amazing growth. The generation of el ectrical energy reached a total of practically 88 billion kilowatt hours in 1928, an increase of 126 per cent over the annual production 10 years ago.” It is also stated that 1929 will show a marked increase in production over 1928, but that the percentage of waterpower generation will be reduced, while genera tion by steam povtfer will be greatly increased. Of all the electricity produced, about one-third is generated by water-power and two-thirds by steam. Regarding the greater use of steam power the report says: “The substantial reduction in the cost steam genera tion by stations of modern construction has greatly narrowed, if not overcome, the margin hitherto enjoy ed by water-power in many localities.” It adds that a system combining water and steam power is generally the most economical. The Commission recommends that the regulation of electric rates be left with the several states, as at pres ent, the Federal government to keep hands off except in cases where adjoining states are unable to agree re garding rates and policies. The report commends the enterprise displayed by the power industry in building great new projects, v. hich "by their hold conception and advanced design offer convincing demonstration of the preeminence of Amer ican engineering skill in the water-power field. We must have prosperity if we have to spend our last cent to get it. It is said that radio announcers must be college grad uates. We had feared as much.

HAY CROP SOLD FOR $12 PER TON IN JORDAN VALLEY (From the Malheur Enterprise) “There is nothing the matter with Jordan Valley," is the way A. L. Miller puts it. He should know as three years ago he and his wife located on a desert claim near Danner. They raised 500 tons of alfalfa on their place this year and sold at $12 per ton, $6000 for the crop. “But hay isn’t all we can raise in Joiflan Valley. That soil, water and sunshine is a combination that works won ders. We have a young orchard on our place and are also rais ing berries successfully. ‘‘Jordan Valley is a great country. All we need is a first class highway or railroad trans portation facilities. A means to get our produce to market and we will be sitting on top of the world,” said Mr. Miller who with Mrs. Miller was a visitor in the county seat Tuesday. Railway executives announce that they will spend a billion dolars for improvements and new equipment in 1930 and we hope they lay out some of it to provide elevator service for upper berths. i; NYSSA BABBEA SHOP i BATHS HAIR BOBBING AND TON •• SORIAL WORK OF ALL KINDS “We Aim to Pleoao" ROY POUNDS, PROP.
