General Passenger Agent John M. Scott

thaw of the Southern Pacific, who stop
ped off here in course of a tiip of in
spection through the Willamette vallej.
They expressed themselves as bclug
gratified with the prospective crop con
ditions and the business outlook in all
parts of the territory, as revealed to
thorn ia numerous conferences with ship
pers, manufacturers and business men.
The indications are that in spite of re
ported f mit failures on aecount of froat
and peats, there ia going to be a
huge crop of small fruits and orchard
fruits, while tho unusual ruiufal) over
tho valley has iusurcd a vast crop of
forage and grain. Consequently the ri.il
road representatives are looking ltn
ward to heavy tonnage from this dis
trict. They comment especially upon
the fact that the alack in building and
business enterprise which has marked
tho war period is now being taken up,
which means the employment of suen
a number of men that the year 1919 is
likely to be a duplicate of lust year lu
the demand for labor In many lines
tlierti are already more calls for luborers
than men looking for Jobs.
Mr. Hinshaw has collected statistics
from western Oregon cities all the way
down to Ashland as to crop conditions,
and ha finds that with the possible ex
ception of prunes Und cherries, which
have dropped very badly in sections,
there is prospect of a fruit crop that
runs all tho way from normal up to
130 per cent. In tome localities the
new orchards coming into bearing will
make u for the loss In crops ia the old
orchards. One feature which Mr. Hin
Bhnw notes especially is tho big increase
in the corn acreage, which runs as high
as 50 per cent in tome localities. There
is an equal increase in the berry acre
age in t number of districts.

"W would like to have been

it was the Americans who
achieved it. This ia a great per

mains the Americans have cross

demonstrated there is another
