PORTLAND. Oct. 1&--Agricuitural
possibilities Of Oregon are shown By
an interesting comparison Just made
by President Howard Elliott. OF the
Northern Pacific Railway OF the area
Of this state with that OF Denmark.
Holland. Belgium. Alssacc- Lorriana.
Luxembourg. Switzerland and the state
Of Maine.
Combined. they have s5.03s square
miles. whilc Oregon has ss.03o. On
the other hand. tho combined popula-
ton OF these countries 10 3l.5s&.SsS.
while Oregon has but s73.7s6. The
conclusion ID that this state has -
great agricultural resources - the
above group and may very likely
equal II in popuiasioa when iss lands
are properly tillsd.
