Somehow f'it almost always occurs''
that somebody in Portland becomes So
licitous for the welfare of the Inland
Empire. Brother Williamson, of the
Portland Rural Northwest, is now on
the anxious seat. He recently visited
the farmers institute at Milton, which
gave him an opportunity ''to see some

fore he returned to Portland he saw
enough to cause dreaded apprehension
in his mind that we have a country
here likely to be overrun by combined
harvesters and threshers, the inevitable
result of which will be to root out small
farms. The prospect is far from your
picture of it, Bro. Williamson, and you
ought to know that in this country
farming is not confined to- any one
thing. The Inland Empire furnishes
your beef, mutton, pork, veal, salmon.

every kind, melons of every kind, grains
of every kind, your carriage teams, sin
gle roadsters, draft horses, mules, work
oxen, etc., ETC.. ad libitum; fur, fin and
feather all abound in any style or shape,
according to order, at lowest spot cash
prices. But because this portion of the
Inland Empire has doubled up on
wool annually, from 100000 lbs in 1889,
to 5000, ,000 lbs even, in 1892; and has
70 ,000, 900 TBS more a0hedt to send array
this season than we shipped in all of
1S90-91; don't think we forget to diver
sify our time and talent for an open
river, as well as our farming; for all
there is in it. The Inland Empire is
all right-now, and in the hence to
come.

We found Mr.. Corbett chatty and ver-

never made a tour of the world on his
wheel, but has plunged the mud and
dust of every state and territory of
America except Alaska, and he proposes
going there next June.
