dustries, bring others into existence, build
up and strengthen the home market so as to
consume at home more farm products and
bring the consumer and producer together,
and thus save the cost Of transportation.
Judge W. T. Newcombe, of Tillamook'
has been in attendance on court. The
judge was formerly-about twenty-four

he talks before courts and juries, and un.
doubtedly has the same tenacity that he
had when forging red hot iron. Judge
