What the Census Of 1900 Shows
in This Line.

The United States census for 1900
shows that Oregon then had IS, S37
farms, valued at sl72. 76l, 2s7, with
a total Of l0,U7I, 1888 acres. The i'm
proved acreage was 1928. 3OS acres.
The value of the land and implement :

OF buildings. $40, 1893, G94 implements
and machinery, s6, 506, 725; livestock.
S33, 9l7, ,04S. The average value Of an
Oregon farm of from 100 to ia acres,
exclusive OF buildings, machinery,
stock, etc, is sl,s2l. A comparison
with values for a farm of the same
size in l2 other states shows that they
cost from two TO FIVE times as much.

Portland is now "closed" town,
this condition having been brought
about in half an hour by the sheriff,
who went personally to all the Ramb-
ling houses and ordered them to
close. The town will remain closed
until the authorities indulge IN another
official doze. The length of time
before this happens probably depends
almost entirely on public sentiment
and ITS expression.
