The Cumberland.

Farmers having corn planted in
the river bottoms are becoming
alarmed. The river is rising and is
in a fair way, if the rains continue,
to overflow its banks. In some
places the lowest points, of tillable
bottom lands, are now under water.
A rise of three feet would put the
river where it would do great dam
age. The fact that some farmers are
now blowing ccrn in the river bot
toms makes it all the more serious.
Should the water go high enough to
drown this crop out, it would be too
late to make success of second
planting.

If any enterprise deserves success
II is that of the West Shore. To
publish such AN elegant, high class
illustrated weekly on the Pacific
coast must take greater supply OF
brains, hard work and perseverance
than would be required in the more
densely populated portions OF the
country. West Shore celebrated
ITS first anniversary as a weekly by
enlarging its page to admit OF better
artistic effects. This enlargement
was made August 18th, and the
paper, printed in five colors, will be
he peer of any colored illustrated
journal In the world. A new de-
partment was then added for
Boys and Girls, conducted by Emily
A. Kellogg, lady well known as =
writer for Juvenile publications.
Ella Higginson, editor Of the Won.
ms Department, has acquired a na-
tional reputation rs poet and
writer, and her work in West Shore
is her best. The original humorous
department is contributed to by the
brightest wits of the country. Its
independent and pithy editorials are
giving it An enviable reputation IN
newspaper circles everywhere. The
Pacific coast has reason to be proud
If West Shore, and 1t should be found
in every house and place Of business.

Numbering Farm Ho uses.

A. L. Bancroft, of San Francisco,
proposes q system of numbering
every house in every county, 50 that
the location of each could be readily
ascertained. Taking the largest
town in each county as a starting
point, he would give q distinctive
name to every road running out of
it. He would similarly name all
he roads branching of from the
the main roads. Then he would
divide each mile OF road into ten
imaginary blocks of 52S feet each,
giving to each block two numbers,
one for each side Of the road. Usually
there would be only one house on
each block; but if there were more,
they could be distinguished from
each other by adding to the number
Of each letter Of the alphabet.
Thus, for instance, instead Of being
told that John Smith lives up in
Westchester county, q little north of
Mount Vernon, we would be in
formed that he lives at No. Is,
MaplewoOd read. There is really
no reason why some such system
should not be employed. But
country folks are conservative peo-
pie, and many Of them would
vigorously object to new tangled
idea like this. Book agents and bill
collectors. however, would en-
Enthusiastically endorse the scheme.

Letter From . Capitalist Who will
Gene TO Salem.

the following letter to gentleman
In this city from Mr.. Frank NJ.
King, of Shubert. Nebraska, who
travelled extensively on this coast
during the summer. Mr.. King is a
man Of large means and will make a
most desirable resident. His letter
Is self.explanatory:
After six weeks trip including
many stops, we arrived home on
August 18th, very tired but other
wise quite well, from the far West.
We found the corn and vegetable
crops much the worse for hot winds
and dry weather in Nebraska; yet
In these river counties we have a
good two-tllirds crop, which will
bring twice the money we got for II
full crop last year.
Upon summing up the conditions
and advantages Of the different states
and territories, Colorado, Utah, Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington, ETC.,
we unanimously come to the conclu
sion that the Willamette valley, t.
the home seeker, offers the best in
ducements. Her excellent climate,
good water and timber-togethei
with her ability to produce large and
varied cereal crops, vegetables AM
fruits--makes this part Of Oregon
the most desirable portion Of which
I have any knowledge, to BUY AMI

to say Salem occupies the highest
