EARLY VEGETABLES. 1t so happens
that our Spring is from FIVE to six weeks
earlier than in the Willamette Valley, and
as consequence our farmers can get early
vegetables that much sooner into market
Heretofore the people of Portland, as also
those of the Dalles, have mainly depended
upon California for their supplies Of early
vegetables, brought up by ocean steamers.
With proper enterprise the whole of this
trade can De secured to Walla Valley, and
thus new source of wealth opened up to
our citizens. The o. S. n Company, always
disposed to encourage industry and aid in
the development of the country, will arrange
to ship produce by their steamers at rate
that will barely cover the expense of hand.
ling, Under this arrangement we can readily
secure a monopoly of this trade, and wish
another season we trust the effort wills be
made Our facilities for producing early
vegetables are quits equal to those of Cali.
fornia, while in the matter of transportation
and nearness to market the advantages are
altogether in our favor. Let our farmers
see to it that with another season these ad.
vantages are improved.
