GREATEST
VALLEY IN

THE CORNUCOPA OF ALBANY
HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY
ABOUT THE WILLAMETTE VAL.
LEY SOIL AND CLIMATE.

The Willamette valley stretching
back 1856 miles from the Columbia
river into Oregon, is the gretest val
ley for fertile soil and splendid cli-
matte conditions in the world. This
valley contains a little over 5000, 900
acres of tillable lands which may be
found adapted to any agricultural or
horticultural crop grown in the Tenn
perate zone On the mountain slopes
that bound this valley, namely the
Cascade and the Coast Ranges, is to
be found the finest body of virgin
timber In the world. This timber to-
gether with other timber in the SOU
thern section of the state cpmposes
one-ffth OF all the standing timber
in the United States. Only small
portion of 0regon's forests have been

The PORTLAND
SALEM ROAD
MAY Be BUILT

Satisfied now after canvas of tho
that modern highway
connecting the capitol city with tho
city of Portland will receive the ap-
proval and support from the pro-
gressive element of both cities, and
that the movement when once
launched is certain to be carried
through, the good roads COMMITTEES
for the purpose of gathering data on
the kind of road that will be the
most serviceable, will in the near flu
ture pay a visit to the Washington
home of Sam Hill, the famous good
road builder, and examine the 10
mile stretch of road leading to his
farms.
Hill Willing to Help.
Sam Hill has a national reputa-
tiOn as a good road builder. He is
wealthy and he has not only devoted
his time but spent his money in the
promotion of good roads, and he l.
willing to come to Oregon and to do
the same for the promotion and
construction Of the Portland-Salen-
road
The committee had luncheon with
him recently at Portland and he
made that offer then. He further
suggested to the committee that II
should in building the road build the
very best kind of a highway because
dependent upon the success of that
venture will be future good roads
building in the state of Oregon. His
theory is that if the best possible
highway is built-one that will give
satisfaction, that the good roads
spirit will spread to the other nor
tions of the state, but that if the best
materials are not used and the work
is done in slipshod manner, it viii,
mean the end of good road work in
the state
The committee will view the
stretch of road built by Hill to his
farms one of the finest stretches of
roads in world, and then upon IT,
return the campaign will he
launched in earnest.

MAYNE RE-NOMINATED
Received About 1000 Majority
at the Polls, Wednesday.

Judge Il. W. Mayne was re-nomi-
mated at the Republican primaries Of
the thirteenth judicial circuit. Wed
nesday, by about 1000 majority. The
vote was light throughout the dis
trict, His opponent, Elisha n. Cllnk,
was at Traverse City on that day di-
recting his forces and he carried the
second aud fourth wards.
South Arm Township gave Mr.
Clink a seventy-tiye per cent ballot
the vote being 1913 for Clink and 6S for
Mayne, our business men voting al
most splidlY for his nominatiop.
Only 81 votes were cast in Boyne
City aud all over the district only
about One-third OF the total vote was
cast From this it would seem that,
while the primary is undoubtedly a
good measure, the electors as whole
care little for it..
In South Arm, the election board
saw 10 IL that only those who had re-
giStered were allowed 10 vote. with a
result that number were turned
away. Only one registration is nec-
essary, and as the law has been in
effect nearly five years. 1t seems al
most increditable that so many would
be careless in this respect.

The Iron Market

Some OF the steel companies declared
decrease in new orders for finished
products last week. followed by in.
creased competition or business and re.
newal OF concessions in prices.
The July statement OF the subsidiary
companies OF the United States Steel
corporation, showing net gain OF
223, 900 tons in untitled orders, although
representing water that has passed the
mill. is important as verifying current
reports last month of the steady in
crease in new orders and specifications
and heavier shipments OF finished pro-
ducts, causing gain Of 10 per cent in
mill operations. Eighty per cent of
steel ingot capacity in commission to-
day means steel output OF 4s, 600 tons
per day. or ID, 967. 900 tons annually,
which is record breaking
The production of pig iron is also
increasing and outside OF charcoal iron
the daily rate of output is about 60, 900
tons per day. The steel companies a
lone are responsible for the gain thus
far in August, but the output OF steel
making iron is still relatively less than
that of steel ingots.
The outlook for merchant furnaces is
improving in proportion to the reduc-
tion In output and the decrease in fur
mace stocks last month, but consumers
of foundry iron are not impressed by
the changes knowing that furnace
stocks are ample and latent capacity
great. On the other hand, prices are
low and the prospect is more favorable
for an advance than decline
The principal iron transactions last
week were 10. 600 tons Of basic in the
Pittsburg district 6, 900 tons Virginia
basic for New England shipment and
10, 009 tons of foundry iron for the
Westinghouse Electric company. East
ern steel companies are in the market
for % 900 tons foundry grades.
