THE BEAUTIFUL WILLAMETTE.

Much has been written, in verse
and prose, about the Willamette Val
ley, but the following from the pen
of William R. Lighton, printed in the
Sunset-Pacifc Monthly, is worthy of
reproduction in order that it may
reach as many contemplating settlers
as possible. Readers of The Observer
are requested to send a copy to some
eastern friend.
Mr. Lighton says in his story, en-
titled, "The Land Where Life Is
Large" that he has found ga place
where the sword of anxious endeavor
may be beaten into the tools of the
homebuilders; a place where We may
walk joeund through golden days of
dear delight, finding that life has
broadened, deepened, become large;
one of those rare and perfect places
where life may have that supreme
quality which satisfies longing-not
merely length, breadth and substance,
but also that fourth dimension of di-

vine content the Willamette Val
ley of Oregon is the place where life
is large.
Continuing this beautiful sketch, the
author says: "This wonderful valley
lies tucked away snugly between the
Cascade mountains on the east and
the Coast range on the west. Its
mouth is at Portland, the junction of
the Willamette river with the Column
bia; its upper end is in the highlands
of Lane county, off to the south The
valley proper holds about 100000
acres of the most fertile soil in the
world. soil equal to any demand that
may be made upon it. Today it is
carrying population outside the city
of Portland, of about 100000 people.
Brought to its fullest development,
this land will one day support one
prosperous, happy human being on
every acre-5,000,000 people whose
life will embody the highest and best
things in civilization. Yes, prophecy
is a dangerous business. under com
mon conditions; but here's case
where the prophet has a cinch. He
can't miss it; he can see it with one
eye tied behind him.
"The valley is now feeding its
100000 people in abundance, and is
marketing besides, every year, food
stufs to the value of $42,500,000.
That s an annual cash income of $42.-
80 per acre on the cultivated land.
$212.50 for every man, woman and
child in the valley, from farm pro-
duets alone. That's an annual cash
income of $1933.S0 for every farm of
the $4,000 farms of the valley. And
mind: those figures represent surplus
remaining after the people of the val
ley have used what they need for
themselves. We're used to thinking
of the Mississippi valley as one of the
worlds garden spots, vastly rich and
but please note this com
parison;
Taking the FIVE richest farming
states of the Mississippi valley
Arkansas, Missouri, Hi
nois and Iowa-there s an average
value of only $3.50 per acre of farm
against the Willamette val
ley's $42.50. The average Mississip-
pi valley farm has an annual income,
from the sale of products, of just
about $900-$1000 less than the aver
age farm income in the Willamette
valley

along the lines of progressive legis-

PRUNE PRICES STILL SOAR.
Buyers Exhibit Anxiety to Secure
Polk County Crop.

The prune market continues to show
increased strength, and the activity
among buyers is more pronounced. On
Saturday last offers of 8 cents were
made Dallas growers for their crops,
and in one instance at least 81 cents
is said to have been the figure, which
is probably the highest price thus
far set, and indicates that the demand
for Polk county prunes is the best
ever known. The crop will fall con-
siderably below the average this year,
but the unusually good prices will, in
measure, compensate growers for
their loss of fruit. In some sections
of the county prunes have been but
slightly damaged, while in others the
loss is more serious. On account Of
their superior quality, Oregon prunes,
and more specially those grown in this
immediate locality head the quotations
in all markets.
