After Compulsory Pass Law.

Oregon Ciy-Charles E. Spence, of
Beaver creek, member Of the legisla-
tive committee of the State Grange, en-
phatically denies the rumor that the
attempt to secure the submission of the
armory appropriation bill and the COM
pulsory pass law to the referendum had
been abandoned. Mr.. Spence said that
on account of the late spring and the
consequent busy season among the
farmers a great difficulty had been ex-
perienced in having the petitions circu-

other rfults have escaped. In other

Is Grape Growing State,

During the past few years much more
attention has been paid to the growing
of grapes in Oregon than ever before.
1t has been conclusively proved that
Oregon is a grape growing state, for
there is now produced from the present
small vineyards fruit of the choicest
quality, both for table use and for wine
making. Grapes at present are one of
the least important of the states fruits

yield being valued at only $37, 900.
Future possibilities, however, are great.
