OREGON WINTER -SCENERY JL Bit ot Interesting Architectural History Some Changes Which. Marie the Material Advancement ,ot tke Coimtry. By a Staff Writer First loiter. CORVALLIS, Nov. IS. The "Willamette Valley does not wear Its brightest lace in November. The skies are lowering, the fields are water soaked, the roads are amuck, and the air is filled with flying leaves. But, withal, a sympathetic eye finds in It much that Is very interesting and charming. The beauty which depends upon alternations of field", meadow and forest, upon vicissitudes of elevation and distance and "upon the play of subdued "Winter lights is independent of weather; and as I rode through the beautifully roll ing North Yamhill country yesterday 1 thought. In spite of the raging storm, that I had never looked upon a fairer picture. Our Oregon landscapes have thia merit over those of the Atlantic and Mississippi regions, namely that they do not in "Winter wholly lose their charm of forest. Eastward everything in the shape of a tree from November to May is a gaunt specter; with us, half or more of the forest is as green in January as in June, and as fresh, complete and beau tiful in Its form. The fir tree which dominates every Western Oregon land scape gains rather than loses scenic value from stress of weather; it brightens with moisture; it sways with wonderful grace under its easy contests with the "Winter winds and In all the sweet harmonies of nature there is nothing finer than Its soughing cadences. It had been long since I had passed by daylight through the beautiful "West Side country, and, while I knew that "Wash ington, Yamhill, Polk and Benton Coun ties were sharing in the general forward movement of tho past few years, I was hardly prepared for the changes which present themselves even as one looks from a car window. "Old Oregon," ver ily. Is not obliterated, but its distinguish ing marks are passing away. The notable farmsteads of a 'time which seems not very long ago may be still distinguished by one who keeps an attentive eye, but they are no longer the landmarks of the country, for on every side there have sprung up within the past few years establishments of greater pretension and dignity, bearing impressive testimony to the fact that the later days of the West Side, In a material sense at least, are better than the earlier. But here and there, as the train speeds along, one gets views of farmhouses of a simple and old-fashioned, yet digni fied, construction, now mostly falling into ruin, which awaken reflections In which only those of us who belong to the older time may share. These old and relatively fine dwellings of the pioneer era have almost without exception a com mon history, and one In which there is a spice or something more of romance. They were not genuinely a product of the pioneer life, for there was nothing In the pioneer life that could have produced them. They were in fact, a product of the California mines, and they serve to mark the extent to which pioneer Ore gon shared in the bounty of the Cali fornia gold era. Long before the story of Marshall's discovers' at Sutter's mill reat'-cd the East, It came to Oregon, and it w.s from the Willamette Valley the first of the modern Argonauts set forth. Every able-bodied man who could muster up an a la-bodied mule hied himself to the California diggings and for nearly a year before the "forty-niners'; from the East began to pour into the country the "soon ers" from Oregon had things their own way on the Yuba, Feather and Ameri can "Rivers. "Oregon Bar," in Butte County, preserves the memory of this early Oregonian invasion; and there Is scarce a canyon In the gold-bearing region upon which Oregonians did not leave their mark. In truth, the Oregoni ans who came early got the best of the California placers; and many a pioneer Oregon fortune dates from that early ven ture. Something was lost, too, for many who went south .to seek their fortune be came enamored of California and did not return, among them the famous Peter Burnett, the first Governor of California under her state constitution. S6me hundreds of the Oregonian Argo nauts came home -with long buckskin purses well lined with dust; and from these purses came the many fine houses, now old and in many instances falling Into decay, which mark the length and breadth of the Valley.' There is no mistaking them, for they all belong to the period of the early '60s, and bear character istic marks of Its architectural taste. They are of the Southern colonial type, so like the houses of the Southern and Southwestern States of the same period that an Oregonian who passes through Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina or Eastern Missouri finds the domestic architecture strangely and pleasingly fa miliar. No fact In our earlier history better il lustrates the essential domesticity of our pioneer population than the building "boomi which followed tho 'return of the adventurers into California. Instead of unsettling the domestic habit of the coun try, as might have been feared, it rather served the contrary purpose, for it gave to considerable numbers what they had previously lacked, namely, a comfortable home and a vastly increased and essenti ally Immovable stake in the country. The incident is one -worth remembering and which I, as one born in a house built with California gold dust, am pleased, to recall. But -within the past few years there has grown up in the West Side a new species of architecture of vastly greater import ance than the old as related "to the ma terial and social status of the .country. I refer to the red barn, everywhere the mark of a thrifty and orderly agricul ture, and to the hophouse and the cream ery, which speak of specialized Industry. Of these buildings, which were not known to the- earlier life of the country, the traveler, even as he rushes through by railroad, sees an amazing number, and the impression which they make' .is irre sistible in its suggestion of a-prosperous and advancing industry. In earlier days, too in fact, no longer than 10 years ago the country, while bearing the marks of cultivation, was generally silent and lifeless. Every visi tor marked the curious and surprising lack of domestic animals.. This is now changed; the cow-brute, the sheep and the hog are everywhere. Much land formerly under grain is now given over to pasture; and, better still, much is given to forage crops by which the capa bility of the country to sustain animal life is greatly increased. Animal hus bandry is, apparently, gaining upon the earlier practice of the country, which de pended almost wholly upon wheat, and which failed even to maintain the num bers or the character of the domestic stock introduced by the pioneer settlers. At Forest Grove as tho train paused my attention was called to the foundations of a very large structure upon which a body of men were working, and it was explained that here was soon to be set up a milk-condensing plant, calculated to take care of the product of 10,000 cows. The company by which the plant Is being put in has been operating near Seattle, but has determined to move Into the Willamette Valley on account of the greater available supply of milk and of advantages afforded by Portland as a marketing center. At and near Forest Grove were found four local creamery associations regularly and liberally sup plied, and arrangements were made by iwhlch these creamery plants are to be shut down and the milk product which supplies them, diverted to the condensery. A very considerable' sacrifice was In volved in tho change, for the creameries were new and in successful operation, and the people were loth to give them up, but the price offered for milk by the con densery was more than enough to com pensate for the abandonment of the "creamery -plants, and upon this basis permanent contracts were made and the shut-down of the creameries determined upon. It is a case where the organiza tion of tho milk industry under the. cream ery system has brought into the country an Industry still more profitable and desir able. The money spent in the creation of the creameries has, to be sure, been thrown away, but, so far as the Inter ests of the farming community are con cerneJ, it was well spent, for through the creamery venture has' come this larger Industry. Without the organization of the milk producers and the Increase of dairy ing facilities, which the creameries brought about, the attention of the con densed milk people would never have been attracted to Forest Grove. The increase in dairying in the Willam ette Valley during the past three or four years have been something surprising. From a single creamery plant or two in 1S0S there has sprung up close upon a hun dred active establishments and all do ing a profitable business. Even with the increased number of butter-making plants it Is found Impossible to supply the con sumptive demand; and It Is declared by those who have made a careful study of the business that if existing facilities were four times multiplied there would, still be found a ready and profitable mar ket. This matter has been made the subject of special investigation during the past year by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Corvailis, and the results will be set forth in a later writing in this series. Linn County Teachers to Meet. ALBANY. Nov. 1$. (Special.) The annual Institute for the teachers of-" Linn County will convene in this city tomor row. The session will last for three days. During the session there will be addresses by the leading educators of the stite. Including Superintendent of Public Instruction Ackerman, President Ressler, of the Monmouth Normal School, President Campbell and Dr. H. D. Shel don, of the University of Oregon, and S. Y.

As a result of the incessant rain fall of the past 48 hours, the river Is' sev eral feet higher and still rising. The amount of water which fell during these two days is certainly equal to that dur ing any similar period in this section. PLACING STORE BUILDING UNDER CHURCH. METHODIST' CHURCH AT OREGON CITY. OREGON" CITT. Sov. IS. (Spe clal.) Something strange In the building line is witnessed at the present time In this city. The Methodist Church, which oc cupies the southeast corner of Main and Seventh streets, has been ralied from its original foundation to a height of nearly 20 feet, and as soon as .the basement ex cavation is completed a store building C4 feet square will be constructed, which will tie occunled by W. L. Block, who will pay a monthly rental of $130. This comer Is one of the choicest for business locations In the city, and for many years the SJethodlsts have contemplated erecting a building on the lot. The church will be over the store. Some of the members preferred to have tho church re moved to another location and erect a two-story building, on the property, or else sell the lot outright, but the majority favored raising the church to a sufficient height to permit the construction of a store building underneath. Thjsr Is now being done, and tho cost will be about $10,000. The building will be ready for oc cupancy about April 1, and In the meantime the church services are being held In Woodmen's Hall. This church was built In 1889, and replaced the building which Is shown to tho left of the picture, and which was-first constructed in JS43 on the corner ot Main and Third streets, and In 1830 removed to Seventh and Main. ,v .

Unprepared Before, lint Well Quali fied Now to Take Care of Twins. WALLA WALLA, Nov. IS. (Special.) There la an odd relation between the ban quet of the Washington State Press As sociation and the newly-foorn Penrose twins. The former took place several months ago, and among those who re sponded to tcasts was President S. B. L. Penrose, of Whitman College. The toast master, F. -B. Cole, of Tacoma, who was a Democratic candidate for Congress in the recent election, called upon the learned and dignified doctor of divinity to respond to the toast, "How to Take Care of Twins." Dr. Penrose arose, somewhat embar rassed, and said he was utterly incompe tent to give advice In a matter requiring such technical knowledge of a 'delicate undertaking. "I I hardly know what but Whitman College is now represented by triplets, and they are doing quite well. I suppope twins could be taken care of one-third more easily than they." The triplets referred to are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Howard S. Brade, the forhier a professor In the college. The triplets are more than a year old. The Penrose twin boys came Into the world last Saturday. CHINESE CORNER POTATOES, i s. Growers in San Joaquin Valley Form a Corporation. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 181 The Chronicle says: At Stockton a unique association has been formed a Chinese trust, controlled and managed' by Lee Yuan, a Chinese. Tho corporation is known as the San Joa quin Valley Association, and the promot ers of the enterprise include nearly all the large owners among the Chinese of the Island and river .districts, so that by the combine two-thirds of the potato crop of the San Juoaquln Valley wilL be under Its control. The association has forti fied -its position with several hundred sacks as available stock, and a change In prices may e expected at any time. Already largo consignments have been sent to Los Angeles and South into Texas, it Is the intention eventually to cover all Missouri River points. CARLE STATION AT SUAVA. Repairs for the Line "Will Re Made From a Fiji Island. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18. James Pinkerton, who was principal electrician on the cable ship Anglla, which laid the British cable from Vancouver to Fan ning Island, and who has lately been directing the work of establishing the cable station at the latter point, has ar- Photo by J. H. Turner, Oregon City. ' ; - rived here. In an interview he saldr "Suava, FIJI, will be the repair sta tion of the British cable, and the repair ship Iris, a vessel built especially for the purpose, will be stationed there. I "Fanning Island Is ,not such a dreary place. The climate is good and there is abundant water of fine quality. Steamers call now once In three weeks, bringing fresh meat and provisions. A staff of 15 will be maintained there, as the cable has to be kept going night and day. At present they are living In tents, but a San Francisco firm of contractors has a force of about 40 men there now building first-class houses for the men. "In course ot time, no doubt, soil will be Imported sufficient to provide lawns and gardens, for there is no soil there now nothing but guano and coral and little vegetation grown except cocoanut trees. The station will be in charge ot David Cuthbert, formerly with the Direct United States Cable Company on the west coast of Ireland." SEAL BONUS PAID. Treasury Department Secures $57,000 From Commercial Company. WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. The Treasury Department has recovered from the North Amerlcal Commercial Company about $57,000 due to the Government under Its contract as bonus, tax and interest on about 4000 sealskins taken by the natives on St. Paul Island about 12 years ago. The skins w.ere taken by the natives from seals used as food, and the question of ownership as between the Alaska Com mercial Company and Its successor, tho North American Commercial Company, has .been pending since that time. It finally having been settled that the skins belong to the latter company, application was made for the payment of the sum due, with the result that the money was deposited In the Subtreasury In New York yesterday. WORK ON TEACHERS' PAPERS. Washington State Examining-Board Finds Itself Short on Funds. OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 18. A corps of examiners began work today In the State Superintendent's office on the papers of 1200 applicants for teachers' certificates. The number of applicants Is much larger than was anticipated, and the appropri ation for the examining board's expenses and per diem has only $225 left In it. This sum will be sufficient 'to provide for the examination of the papers of about 700 applicants, and the balance will have to await the convenience of tho official force of the State Superintendent. Superinten dent Bryan also states that there will bo no quarterly examination of teachers next February, as the law requires, owing to this exhaustion of funds, "unless tho coming Legislature provides an emerg ency appropriation.

Started In General Merchandise Store of Messner & Vanlhelm, "Who Lose $15,000. NORTH YAMHILL, Or., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) North Yamhill suffered a $20,000 fire loss tonight. About 9:30 o'clock flames were discovered Issuing from the general merchandise store of Messner & Vaul helm, and so rapidly did the fire spread that all efforts at saving the building or contents were utterly futile, and the at tention of the citizens was directed toward saving adjoining property. The lack of adequate fire-fighting apparatus made difficult the work of subduing the flames, and before tho fire had burned Itself out four additional buildings were in ruins. The list of property destroyed and losses sustained Is as follows: Messner & Vaulhelm, general merchan dise, loss $15,000, partially covered by In surance. Daniel Busby, grocery store, loss be tween $500 and $700, partially Insured. Exchange Hotel, Mrs. Bowers, propri etor, loss $1500, no Insurance. J. S. Lamar, saloon, loss $2500, no Insur ance. R. L. Nome, barber Ehop, loss between $50 and $100. At midnight the flames had subsided and were under complete control. The fire drew a great crowd of people to the streets, but fortunately no one was in jured. It is not known how the fire or iginated. 4 HIGH TIDE AT HOQUIAM. . i Quarter Mile of Wharf Washed, Away Roadway Submerged. ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 18. (Special.) The tide yesterday was the highest in many years, and some damage was done, Hoquiam suffering more than Aberdeen. At Hoquiam about 2G0O feet of the Eighth street wharf was washed away. The Hoquiam end of the plank road was en tirely submerged, being covered In some places to a depth of eight Inches. Some of the planking was washed away, but was afterward replaced, traffic on the road having been suspended for about three hours. The flats In the vicinity of Hoquiam and between the two cities looked like a great lake. On the east oide of the Hoquiam 'River many of the sidewalks were displaced and the floors of two houses were covered with water. The strong west wind was partly responsible for tho high tide. . Owing to the heavy rains of the past few days, nearly all of the streams flow ing into the bay are in a state of freshet. In the Humptulips River the water is particularly high, so much so that logs cannot- be handled with safety. There are now 10,000,000 feet of logs In the booms in' that stream, and as many more jammed against the railroad bridge six miles abovo the mouth. This bridge Is a source of great trouble to loggers, and if It continues to rain for the next day or two it will probably bo washed away. The bridge is constructed with a pier in the middle of the stream and logs are piled 20 feet high around this pier. A portion of the trestle of the railroad near Grass Creek was washed away to day, and no train could go over tho road to Humptulips bridge. This increases the danger of the bridge washing -out, as the locomotive engine was to be em ployed in breaking the jam of logs col lected there. M'GEARY JURY SECURED.

TbcH-0otfflCanpeny Miss Lillian Ramsey A Prominent Club Woman of Denver and Her Mother Tell What Warner's Safe Cure Has Done for Them. New York's Most Successful Specialist in Woman'sDiseases Says: "Nearly Every Case of So-Called Female Weakness and Painful Periods Is Due to Kidney or Bladder Disease of Some Form." If You Have Pains in the Back and Feel Miserable, Make a Test of Your Urine and Satisfy Yourself. MISS LILLIAN RAMSEY. Miss Lillian Ramsey, president of the1 Denver Qulncy Club, of Denver, Colo., says: "I was all run down, and had no apnetite, was troubled with indigestion, pains In my back and suffered untold mis ery during my monthly periods until I used Warner's Safe Cure. Thanks to it I am now as strong and healthy as any woman could be. My mother suffered for over two years with what our doctor called 'weakness peculiar to women.' She" had severe pains in her back and her head ached almost constantly; In fact, she was an invalid until the doctor prescribed Warner's Safe Cure. Three bottles made a permanent cure. She has no more of her old troubles and enjoys perfect health. All her complications were caused by dis eases of the kidneys. Had my mother taken Warner's Safe Cure In the first place, Instead of a lot of so-called cures for female weakness, she would have been saved a great deal of suffering.
