Professor Shaw's book represents
SO years of agricultural work and
experience i'm the Northwest. 1t is
one of the most valuable books ever
pub he d and every farmer and bus
mess man should have copy. Com
mercial clubs should interest the
leading farmers in their community
in this book.
Dry land" is defined as any sec
ton where the rainfall is less than 25
inches per annum.
Professor Shaw's book will be read
with more interest than the most
thrilling Of the six best sellers" by
the farm ersin the dry land'' areas
and by thousands of Fasteners who
are planning to come to the North
west. 1t is the opinion of Professor
Shaw and other agricultural experts
that modified sort of dry farming
will eventually be used on all lands
not artifcially watered or irrigated
where the rainfall is less than 80
inches per annum. Even where
there is heavy rainfall there occur
large dry periods in the late sum-
mer-when if the soil moisture was
conserved failure of crops
would be almost unknown. In the
Northwest the dry lan1'' area ex-
tends from point west of the Mis-
souri, RIVER to the Cascade Noun
tains, W hich are barely 100 miles
from the Pacific ocean.
The dry land" area extends
from the heart of Canada south to
the interior of Mexico and from the
Cascade and Sierra Nevada Noun
tains east almost to the Mississippi
River.
Professor Shaw's book is the first
comprehensive book ever written on
dry farming," and it is written in
a plain and simple manner, readily
understood by any one. The publ
cation of this work will be of special
interest to farmers along the line of
the Great Northern Railway who for
years have read Professor Shaw's ar
ticles ON dry farming," which have
been published in the local newspa-
pers This work, carried on by the
Great Northern Railway with the
cooperation of newspapers, has re-
suited i'm millions of dollars of agri-
cultural wealth being added to the
Great Northwest.

LOCAL OPTION ASSAILED.

1t is to be expected that the liquor
forces and those who like their drink
will the oppose the local option law,
but for opposition to come from such
men as Hon, Eugene W. Chafin, ex-
candidate Of the prohibition party for
president, is rather strange. With
great emphasis, Mr.. Chafin denounces
the local option law as unrlghteous,
unwise, and inefficient. Mr.. j. Frank
Burke of the Oregon Anti-Saloon
league, believes very differently He
maintains that local option Is right
eous, wise and efficient in its aim to
eliminate the liquor traffic. In other
words, that man can be a consistent
enemy of the saloon and the liquor
traffic in general, and vote the old
party tickets. Accordingly, a series
Of debates have been arranged for in
about thirty towns In Oregon, between
Mr.. Chafin and Mr.. Burke to discuss
the merits and demerits of the local
option law. Both gentlemen are very
able speakers and u warm contest Is
expected. They will debate in Salem
at the opera house on Tuesday, March
&c. The debate promises to be inter
estlng in the extreme, as both speak
ers are noted platform orators and
Salem people can congratulate them
selves to this feast Of oratory, besides
receiving, no doubt the best argu-
ments on both sides of the question
that were ever put forth
