GREAT TRACTS IN OREGON
WITHOUT RAILROADS.

The State of Oregon includes within
it's boundaries an area almost as large
as the State of Ohio untraversed bySa
single mile of railroad. To the town of
Silver Lake, in this area. belongs the
distinction of being the post-office
farther away from a railroad h any
other in the United States. 1t is 17o
miles from the nearest railway station
to Silver Lake, and over this distance
supplies of all kinds-such as hard
ware, foodstuffs, and, in fact, every
thing that is not raised in the imme-
date vicinity-must be hauled by
team; and yet. contrary to the popu-
lar notion, the country about this town
is far from being a barren desert. In
the past stock raising has been the
principal industry, for lack of trans
portation facilities has made it profit
able to raise only such produce as
could be fed to stock that a be
driven to market. The soil is. how
ever, we'll adapted to dry-farming
methods, and on some areas that can
be artifcially watered almost any OF
the ordinary farm products can be
successfully grown.

Mrs. Taft Buys the Hats
the RreStdent-elect Likes

quietly. The P~resident-elect does not
like pronounced styles in any kind OF
wearing apparel. and It was to please
him as well as herself that one of Mrs.
Taft's hats was in toupe and anne
thyst shades and the other in black
and white.
The first hat was of mushroom
shaped felt, in the toupe or mole color,
trimmed with amethyst velvet and
wings to match. The second hat was
of black beaver, on the order of a
small sailor, and trimmed with fancy
black and white wings.
One of Mrs. Taft's reasons for liking
New York millinery is that the woman
who sold her the hats is an old school
friend, who lived on the same block
in the same street with Mrs. Taft in
Cincinnati. This is the street on which
Charles Taft, brother of the President,
lives, and where the President-elect's
family made their home during the
campaign.
