at has been raining here since the
18th, OF October last, aud the spring has
been very backward. The farmers in

bought Il farm near Oregon City, which
is a lively business place, with a popula-
lion of 1,l50. 1t has n large wooden
factory, \ bag factory, n tub factory and
u paper mill, and water power unsur-
passed in the state.

with Oregon because of the immense
rains which have been witnessed. The
wages for labor are not much higher
than in Missouri, and land in Linn county
rates from 1925 to SAC per acre. would

ham from his post ut Jefferson City. He Is In
Washington by order Of the Governor, apparent-
" TOR the purpose of lobbying Tho Missouri War
Claims through Congress, but in reality, for the
purpose OF painting portraits Of two Washington
women for the Centennial. Some Of the Platte
county Grangers express great dissatisfaction at
0ds, and don't want the portraits painted at the
expense Of the State, but want Bingham 10 come
