in an electric plant to light the building.
A large salmon cannery is under process
of construction, broom factory is near
ing completion, a new steamer will be
built for the Portland. Coos Bay and San
Francisco route. The Bandon Recorder
says: when Bandon wants anything
for the purpose of building up the town,
she gets 1t because her citizens are wide
awake to their interests, and they unite
their efforts for the permanent growth
and upbuilding of the town. realizing that
their individual interests thereby reap
reward, and during all the dull times of
the past two or three years Bandon has
steadily improved, and her people have
not suffered to the same extent from the
effects of the dun times as most other
places have, because of the self-sustain,

That California people take Oregon
fruits and pass them off for the Califor-
MIA article is again verified. Mr.. Lee
Perkins, of Trinidad, Col, Is in Eugene.

Willamette Valley the grandest country
In the world. Still he says 1t needs Cd
vertising In speaking of fruit, he says
that Oregon cherries have been sold right
along throughout Colorado and Utah, as
the California product. He recounts buy
ing some Royal AIMS at Ogden, Utah, the
other day, and the dealer assured him
they were from California. He was
doubtful, as they looked like Oregon cher
ries on account of their size. Hence he
questioned the dealer who finally admlt>
ted that they came from Oregon. He
also informs us that our hops through
out Colorado ure known as washing
tons"

The Statesman, always enthusiastic on
this topic, says: 1--WE are going to have
railroads. Now let's have more people
to settle up the country and make them
profitable. Let's advertise for people in
every legitimate way-good, thrifty, peo.
pie, willing to work, make their own op-
portunities or find them, and help us
build up the country. We need people
nearly as badly as we need more rail-
roads"
