EUROPE OFFERS BIG
CHANCE TO FARMERS

Marvellous marketing opportuni-
ties for Oregon fruit men lie in Eu-
rope, according to Ernest S. Ser
geant, broker for the Eugene Fruit
Growers association, who arrived
here on a westward tour from head
quarters in New York, this week,
says the Eugene Guard. "The Euro
pean market is buying heavy as It
has during the war" declares Ser
geant, "and there is no likelihood
of a slowing down."
Germany will undoubtedly take
great deal of western products re-
gardless of what some Americans
think. Tho that country may not be
able to buy all it wants directly, it
will buy thru the Scandinavians.
California associations are selling a
great deal of their stuff direct to the

like distance from Gold Hill.
The advantages of this plan are
that farmers can get lime in less
than the minimum car lot from the
plant. and by having 1t stored can
reduce the cost of hauling home by
taking back a load of lime with
them whenever they haul load Oh
farm produce to market
The law mentions the fact that the
plant must be kept running full ca
pacity in order to produce grouhd
limestone at lowest cost. This plan
of distribution will thus help keep
cost down and also supply lime IN
quantities suited to the farmer
needs.
All orders should be addressed 10

EVERGREEN HIGHWAY
OFFICIAL ASKS LOCAL
BOOSTERS SUPPORT
Continued from page IL

Los Angeles, the transcontinental
route to southern California. In 1913
1877 cars entered southern Califor-
mia over that route. In 1914, the Au-
to club Of southern California started
a s%ign-posting campaign and got 492
Ears through. In 1915 the work was
completed and 1867 cars came through
that year. Last year 4240 automo-
biles came over that n route alone.
Now that the war is over, the high
way associations all over the coun-
try are beginning a campaign to keep
the people from going to Europe, and
to travel over this country instead.
The Evergreen highway offers the
scenic beauties of Puget Sound, the
Columbia, the Snake, with all its falls,
Whitebird canyon and the Great Salt
ton, or good roads club, in every
travel with big local backing.
Evergreen Highway" is the name
which has been given to that main
artery of travel which stretches from
Vancouver, b. C. to Salt Lake City, by
way OF the Columbia and Snake river
valleys. 1t gets its name from the
fact that It has ~purposely avoided the
desert spots, which might make the
shortest route, and followed the river
valleys and scenic hills.
Beginning at Vancouver, B. c., the
Evergreen highway follows what is
known as the Pacific highway as far
as Vancouver, Wash. Thence it turns
east along the North Bank highway to
Lyle, Wash, following the northern
shore of the Columbia river. whereby
IL gets the whole beautiful Oregon
shore in perspective, instead of being
right up against the cliffs as along
the Columbia highway on the Oregon
side.
Through Whitebird Canyon.
From Lyle to G~randview, Wash. the
Evergreen highway follows the route
known as the Central Washington
highway, and then merges into that
part of the Inland Empire highway
from Walla Walla to Lewiston. Leav-
ing Lewiston, 1t goes south and east
over what was once called the Sun
shine highway, down Salmon creek
South highway. down Salmon creek
through Whitebird canyon to Pay
cite and Boise.
From Boise to Preston and Frank
lin, the old Oregon Trail and the Ev-
ergreen highways coincide, passing
through American Falls along this
route. AT Franklin, it branches to the
main Utah highway to Salt Lake City
This is the route which will be known
as the Evergreen National highway.
The national officers of the Ever
green Highway association are F. H
Sweetland, Tacoma. president; C..
Shoemaker, Pasco, treasurer; s. p
Brokaw, Tacoma, secretary; C. A
Collins, Tacoma, field secretary, an
Or. Ben F.. Hill. Walla Walla. Eugen.

ton has already been formed with {

Russian Music at
Symphony Concert


It is welcome news for local music
lovers that the Russian Symphony or
chestra is coming to Fairmont. 1t will
be heard at the Grand next Thursday
night and as an added feature to the
program Sashca Votichenko, tym-
panum artist, has been secured. 1t is
expected that the program will be
made up entirely Of compositions OF
Russian composers which local must
clans say is the proper thing as no or
chestra in America plays the music
of the Slav as does the Russian sym
phony. Two numbers which are high
~ recommended by Walter D. Bar
rIngton are the Caucasion sketches OF
,Ippoiitoff -Ivanoff Tn the Aur ana
march Sarader." These numbers
were features with this orchestra for a
lorg time and were first introduced
into America by this orchestra. They
were features at an opening program
of the last festival given in Toronto by
the famous Mendelsshon choir and the
Russian Symphony orchestra. The
numbers are not always iEcluded in
the program but at the request of Mr.,
harrington, Reno Fleming, manager
Of the Grand, has asked that they be
played here.

gagged IN this kind Of work in Fairmont
for some time, will have charge of the

sisted by enough extra help to turn out
the work as fast as it IS brougn: in.
In addition to the painting uepart-
ment the Garage Company has inc!ud-
ed in their improvements fourth
floor which will be used for their
heavy stock of parts. This affords
them their entire second floor for re-
pair and service, ana The third flool
for painting, the first fOo1 being 1sed
for office and sales department.
These new improvements are in
line with the policy OF tile popular gar
age to keep tho shop up-to-date so
that the staff can take care OF their
increasing business.
The local concern has had very good
success the past season in getting
cars for their patrons, but Mr. CordraJ
now thinks that it is going to be harder
to get car next yaar than 1t was this,
and he advises anyone who is think
ing of purchasing car next spring to
give his order now so that he can get
his car by spring.
They are also trying to get in line
with well known tractor company,
but so far there has been no definite
plans made. The tractor company has
one OF its representatives here this
