James j. Hill helped to make
Oregon History the past week when
he, drove the golden spike marking
the completion Of the Oregon
Trunk Railway to Bend. That it
will be the final terminus of the
line is not expected, but the event
was notable because it celebrated
the coming of a new era in the in
terrier, and the railroad will be the
greatest developer the country
could have go to work and
build up the country, for the cities
would starve to death if it were not
for the country" said Mr.. Hill at
the spike driving. Nations that
have neglected the cultivation of
the soil have faded from the face
of the eartn. There is no reason
why Central Oregon should not pro-
duce enormous wealth. We have a
good deal Of faith in it. We be-
leve that if this soil is properly
cared for, if it is properly under

will make a happy home for thous
