The Trl-County Push club has
had another big meeting here To
boost for a bridge across the VIII
lamette river at this place.
Ihe construction of such a
bridge would mean pushing through
a 6ne east and west macadamized
road from Newberg and Silverton.
All the country between here and
there and even Scots Mills are in
tcrested in this opening up OF the
country by better transportation.
Tri-Counfy Push Club Appeal.
The Willamette valley between
Oregon City and Salem, a distance
OF SO miles, is a thriving and fer
tile community. The beautiful Will
Iamette River divides this farming
district which, as you are no doubt
aware, has no bridge between these
two cities. This is drawback, not
only to the farmers located. upon
either side of the river, but to the
thousands OF automobiles and teams
which travel through from Portland
20 Salem and Southern Oregon. It
is true there are ferries upon which,
by paying toll, one can cross at cer-
tain times of the year, but at the
present writing. and for days and
days II is impossible TO cross the
river by ferry between the above
named cities because of high water.
We. the Tri-County Push Club, or
ganized expressly 10 foster and ad-
vocate the speedy construction of a
bridge, after careful consideration,
have concluded that Buftevllle, be-
ing located midway between Oregon
City and Salem, would be the best

nected with the College of Agricul-
ture as professor and dean for more
than fifteen years and he knows its
work. He believes that it is play
ing a great part in the improvement
Of methods In agriculture in Missouri
and he wants every man and woman
ON every farm in Missouri to know
what that part is.
He said here to-day that the Col
lege of Agriculture and the Nilsson
ri Experiment have saved more
money to the farmers of Missouri
in a single year than has been spent
by the State of Missouri for the
maintenance of the Agricultural Col
lege and Experiment throughout their
entire existence.
"The College of Agriculture he
continued, land the Missouri Elk
pertinent Station have two great func
tions: teaching and investigation. The
function of the one is the training Of
students; of the other, the helping to
solve the many and difficult probleme
OF agriculture by original investiga-
ton"
But Dean Mumford believes that
each has done more than that. He
said that the College Of Agriculture
has made a systematic effort to car
ry instruction to the farmers Of the
State who have not been able to at
tend the College. In three special
trains this year, its professors will
have given instruction in lectures, he
said, to more than $4,000 persons,
in more than fifty towns. He spoke
also of farmers institutes, short
courses in agriculture and the numer-
GUS publications the College issues.

brought mutton racks to eighteen and

IoIns to sixteen cents and stewing

Livestock traders say they do not
believe that the present deficit in the
supply OF sheep and lambs will be
overcome before July and, in the
meantime. they look for the live
and dressed offerings to sell at still
higher prices. Live lambs at the
stock yards sold up to $1,000 a hun
