Therefore, n cannot donate any

always be used to good advantage,
and their needs are for everything
that can be used in a household;
| canned goods, groceries of all kinds,
| especially sugar, rice, beans and

all kinds.
The railroad, steamboat and ex-
press companies running into Port

the good cause along.

Der them this year. This Society Is

OPENING OF THE
TUMALO PROJECT

Portland, Ore, Nov. II, 1914
The opening of the Tumalo irriga-
ton project, the first in the United
States to be financed by a state, has
rbeen officially announced. Seventeen
thousand five hundred acres are
thrown open to entry under the terms
of the Carey Act at $40 an acre. The
terms are one-tenth cash, the balance
in ten years. Detailed information
may be had by addressing the pro-
ject engineer, o. Laurgaard, at Laid
law, Oregon.
1t is stated that the lands under
this project are excellent for grains
and hardy vegetables, and stock rails
ing is also successful. The high al
titude renders this section subject to
frosts in late spring and early fall
and frosts have been known to oc-
cur during the summer months. 1t
is expected that this condition will
improve to some extent as the land
is cultivated, but people desiring to
locate ON this land are advised to
make a personal inspection instead
of trusting to any unofficial reports.
