oREGoN's RICH INDUSTRIES.

OhEOON . hloil lNDO . MES.
Over $25, 600, 600 will be added to
the wealth Of the State of Oregon this
year from five of her principal indus
tries. The showing is by far the best
on record.
Lumber will probably lead the list
this year, and conservative estimates
place the cut of the year for the en-
tire state at 1, 600 600, 600 feet, valued
at approximately $4,000, 900. Next
on the list is wheat crop, which.at
the present prices.will net the growers
over $1,000, 600 The largest wool
clip ever sold in the state has practi-
cally all reached market, or at least
has passed out 2 the hands of the
growers at better average prices than
have prevailed for a number of years
The clip was something over 20, 900,
600 pounds, and at the prices generally
paid has probably added 81, 900, 900 to
the wealth of the state.
With hops the yield promises to be
near the record, with practically a
certainty of 80, bales, which, at
present prices, will amount to about
81, 800, 600
The returns are not quite all in on
the salmon pack, but enough is
known TO warrant an estimate of over
81, 900, 600 as the value of the canned,
frozen and picked product.
Fruit last year was a pretty close
running mate with hops and salmon,
and this year, if complete returns
were obtainable, might make a show
ing fully as favorable as either of the
other great staples which have made
Oregon famous.

satisfactorily. The property is show

Broad & Reid, owners of the Oregon
Belle, which is situated in Forest
creek district, have force of men

They have one of the best properties
in the State, and are making regular
cleanups, each one of which yields
many hundred dollars. Certain
parties are inspecting it, with inten-
tions of purchasing at big figure.
J. W. Opp has force employed in
the Gold Standard mine, located a
few miles west of Jacksonville; but
is unable to operate the mill on ac-
count of the scarcity of water. He
has made several satisfactory clean
ups The last one yielded about
