The latest good work started by Colonel R. C. Judson, of Portland, !
is the holding of exchange fairs at central business points at frequent inter-,
vais. Farmers and stockmen attend these fairs and display their farm
products, also cattle, horses and sheep, in the streets for a day or two. Bales
,,re then made to local merchants. They in turn are patronized freely
Business moves briskly. Ideas are exchanged. The women folks enjoy
shopping and a brief rest. Land sales are also made. Settlers are attracted;
by the newspaper publicity. Colonel Judson's efforts are always original,at
{tractive and substantial. He believes in amity rather than animosity, a
principle that makes friends and business for his railroad, the O. R. & N.
