Development Association" The name
explains the object. 1t will require at
least $1,000 a month, probably 1920, TO
run the Association, not less than 800

TO place two men at Portland, one at
Seattle, one at Tacoma, and one at Sac
ramento, furnishing each with a large
supply Of advertising matter. A board
OF managers, one from each county, will
run the association, and probably eeven
counties will be represented. A meet
ing of the managers will bc held ut Al

DEALINGS IN DRT.-There is plenty Of
money in dirt in Albany to-day. Good
returns are being made by Investment
right along in Washington Street dirt, the
kind that counts steadily. A man and
team are good for sixteen to twenty loads
a day at 25 cents a load. The street is
now nearly on grade and not only has it
been benefited in wonderful manner
but all over the city lots have been rails
ed, streets graded and general improve
ment made, besides giving employment
to large number OF men, who have de-
servedly been making good wages by
dealing in dirt, without the intervention
of bonds.
WAXING UP.-Coming from the Cor
wallis Times, the following railroad item
is entitled to consideration. "Nothing
could be more unfortunate for this Sec
ton of the country than for the South
ern Pacific to gain control of the 0. Z.
They have already nearly monopoly OF
the entire traffic of Oregon and CalifOr-
mia, and their control OF this road would
only add to our depression. The o. =
under the persent management, with all
her faults and slow progress in building
the road, is a thousand times of more
benefit to this section than the s. p.
would be with exclusive control cf the
traffic"
An ONEco CoLT FRsT.-At Salem, Sat
urday, the Willamette Valley Horse
Breeders Association gave their annual
colt show, which was one Of the greatest
horse successes ever held in the state.
About $50 colts were exhibited, each
stallion being allowed three colts in the
contest for prizes in the different branch
es. In the leading class, that Of stand
ard bred colts, it is an interesting fact
that colt Of Oneco, Mcknight Bros
well-lmown stallion, won the first prize.
An Altamont colt won the second prize,
and lockwood colt the third prize.
The Oneco colts are fast coming to the
front, and excite admiration everywhere
among horsemen.
