FOR CENTRAL OREGON

Predictions that Central Oregon is
destined to become the granary of
Oregon were made by Carl r. GRAY.
president of the North Bank, Oregon
Trunk and other Hill roads, in his
recent address before the State
Threshermen's association at Salem
Mr.. Gray presented some interesting
figures illustrating the present state
OF deyelopment-or lack of develop

1t can and will become one of the
wealthiest areas in the entire country.
He said:

the county Jail until the 22d day OF
August. and that on that date you be
taken to the place OF execution and
there hanged by the neck until you
are dead, and may God have mercy
on your soul The thing seemed to
sink rather slowly into the negro's
full consciousness; he shifted around
first on one foot and then the other
and finally addressing the court In
a pleading manner, said:
