According to the reports that
are heing published the Port OF
Portland will soon have a thirty
foot channel to the sea. This
will be sufficient to permit the
largest ships to visit Portland
and will permit the Portland
people TO turn their attention TO
developing the interior water
ways, the most important being
the Columbia and Snake rivers.
There are no serious obstruc-
tions in the Columbia or Snake
up to Lewiston and "a small ap-
preparation from the national
government and the states of
Washington and Oregon will
have the waters navigable to
Lewiston. Now that Portland
has deep channel to the ocean
we believe her people will work
for the opening Of the upper
Columbia aud Snake rivers.
W.th the immense power TO be
developed on the Columbia at
Cello there is an incentive, as
that powcri is needed for factories.
Above Lewiston there are places
where locks are needed and they
will develop power that can be
distributed throughout the in
land empire and provide a good
revenue to cover interest on any
bond issue that might be neces-
sary,

Eugene.-The Lane county farmers
took the first steps for mutual pro-
lection from the ravages of the hunt
ers during the approaching hunting
season, when the Farmers Protective
association Of Lane county was organ
lied here, scores of representative
farmers, with Prof. John Bovard and

giving the county the benefit OF
the thousands OF dollars ex-
pended in fitting up the grounds.
We believe the directors are
right in assuming that more
interest will be shown il the
grounds belong to the county
and that all sections will then
take advantage Of the opportuni-
ties to learn all that is possible
concerning the crops and con.
diti )ns best suited for their
production.

MALHEUR COUNTY FAIR

The books OF the secretary o.
the County Fair show there was
practically double the number
Of entries at the fair this year
over that Of one year ago.
When the fair was started il
was a rare thing to see q field oI
corn, now most OF the farmers
are raising it and they are learn
ing the varieties that do best in
this section, so that an average
of eighty bushels to the acre
is harvested.
Practically all the beans used
in this territory were shipped
in few years ago, while this
year the production is nearly
sufficient to meet the local de-
mand, because the farmers have
found they can raise beans here
TO good advantage.
In the matter OF cows and
hogs it is the same story, their
number has increased many fold
and the grade has improved.
Cheese and butter factories have
been established and il should
not be long before the hog in
dustry will reach such proper
tions that a packing house will
be necessity and all the hog
products used in this section
will be produced here.
This record Of betterment in
farm production could be carried
still farther.
There is only one object in
holding IA county fair and that
is to benefit the producers Of the
country and show them what can
be produced to the best advant.
age. The directors Of the fair
believe that it is possible to en-.
large the scope OF the fair aud
make every section OF the county
realize that the fair il conducted
for its benefit, by turning the
fair grounds over to the county
and to accomplish this petitions
Are being circulated asking the
County Court to call n special
election and make IA levy of one
mill on the dollar to take over
the grounds and improvements
