TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, - MOXDA1, SEPTE3IBER . 24, 1906. BAKER CITY SURE OF THE RAIL ,0. R. & N. Now Taking Inter est in Eagle Valley Proposition. LOOKS OVER THE GROUND David Eccle Has Rival in Harri man Citizens Subscribe All but Small Fraction of $100,000 Asked by Promoter. BAKER CITY. Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) With J90.000 raised, and some of the big men Bcheduled promising to double their subscriptions to the Eagle Valley Hall road, Baker's pet transportation project now 'seems assured. The time for stock subscriptions has been extended slightly, and the $10,000 yet to be raised will be put up by the Baker City property-owners and business men within a few days. There Is nothing that can stop the rail road now. It Is good news to Baker. This city can have nothing that will be of greater bene fit than this same Eagle Valley Railroad. It means business for the town that Ba ker cannot possibly get In any other way. It means big shipments of fruit and vege tables from the Eagle Valley, and big shipments of timber fend ore from the Cornucopia. It means the development of the Copper Belt, Burkemont, the In diana and other properties on that line. Baker has been sure that the business was there, and now It knows It. When Dave Eccles went over the line, and an nounced that If the subscription were raised he would build the road and make it a branch of his Sumpter Valley, Baker had a "I-told-you-so" expression. Now Eccles- declaration that the field is good for a railroad has attracted others and the O. R. & N. threatens to take a hand and sit In at the game. General Manager O'Brien and his freight expert, R. B. Miller, who has charge of that department of the O. R. & N., left Baker Tuesday in company with W. L. Vinson, the promoter, and drove over the proposed Eagle Valley route, inspecting and determining what the opportunities were. What they did determine Is rot known, but it is safe to venture that the O. R. & N. people are no more astute than Eccles, and that if Eccles found an opening for business in that direction the O. R. & N. officials also saw oppor tunity. It has been well known for some time that the O. R. & X. had an eye on the Vinson proposition, and Indeed the offi cials had taken up the matter with Mr. Vinson, but the promoter and the build ers could never come to terms on the value of the right of way. which Vinson would not sell on their offering. O. K. & N. Now Takins Notice. But now that there is a competition in the matter, the officials of the O. R. & N. are looking at the proposition a little more closely, and it Is firmly believed here that if the road Is built, O. R. & N. money will build It. possibly under some arrangement with Eccles. if O. R. & N. engineers are not upon the "ground within a few weeks, checking up the Vinson our veys, then Baker misses its guess. There Is another factor in the situation here, and one that adds to the brignt outlook for Baker City. That is the presence of the Iron Dyke copper mag nates from Erie, Pa., who are looking over the railroad .situation. They aro the men who are putting up the money for the Snake River road, as far as Iron Pyke. The road is being built by con tract with the Oregon Short Line, which will continue the line from Iron Dyke to I-ewlston; but the copper property men, in order to get an outlet for their ores, advanced money for building the line. They are C. M. Conrad, F. M. Curtze and H. E. Fink, Erie, millionaires. Under Mr. Vinson's offer to Baker City some weeks ago the city has power to force the building of the railroad if It wishes. Only the securing of necessary stock subscriptions is necessary. The Eagle Valley road Is tangible in so much as the right of way for the project has been secured by Mr. Vinson and Is his property. That It is a valuable property there seems no doubt. Vinson Is Sure to Sell. Mr. Vinson is going to sell the right of way. If the money is raised under his contract with Baker, he must sell to some one who will begin the work wihin 00 days. If Baker doesn't raise the money he can sell to whom he chooses. The re sult follows that Baker must raise the subscription asked, and insure the build ing of the Eagle Valley road now. By raising the sum It can force action, and the slogan Is, "Do It Now." N. E. Imhaus, who came to Baker as the representative of a syndicate of French capitalists and who has since en gaged in mining operations for himselr, has just returned from the Iron Dyke property and the Seven Devils district. In which it Is located, and toward which the Eagle Valley, the Union Railroad and the Snake . River road are all pointing. As soon as there Is a railroad Into that dis trict there are at least 13 mines that can ship ore profitably on six weeks' notice. It Is quiet in the Seven Devils now, be cause all the companies owning proper ties in that vicinity are holding off devel opment until the railroads come. The Mountain Bell Is about the only mine In 'the district that has been able to ship ore this Summer, but in that property Dr. Peacock developed something good, and the ore ran not less than 15 per cent copper. e Mg mines expect to see the rail road commenced between October 1 and December 1, this year, and are waiting until It conies. When it does, the Seven Devils country will be the scene of large operations In mining and will be the seat of a big camp that will be a great feeder for Baker City. Mr. Imhaus Is Interested in one of the properties in thadlstrict. SEES HOOD KIVEIt ORCHARDS J. P. O'Brien, of O. R. & K. Co., As tonished at Their Productiveness. HOOD RIVER. Or., Sept. 23. (Spe cial.) J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the O. R. & N. R. R., accompanied by his wife and Mr. and Mrs. F. Flynn, arrived in Hood River Friday in Mr. O'Brien's private car, for the purpose of seeing the orchards in Hood River Valley while the aples are still on the trees. The O'Brien party were the guests of E. O. Blancher, E. L. Smith and J. A. Wilson, and in their com pany spent several hours driving about the valley. At rfie ranch of H. E. Avery they were given a basket of very fine Jona than apples, and on their return to town expressed themselves as highly pleased with their visit and astonished at the wonderful bearing capacity of the trees and the fine quality of the fruit. "I had never dreamed that a tree could have so many apples on it as ROAD some of those I say today," Mr. O'Brien said. "After seeing the Hood River orchards In bearing. It Is easy to un derstand why Hood River is the best station on, the line of the O. R. & N. with the exception of Baker City, of which it , is a very close competitor, in amount of business done. Other points on the road receive more freight, but Hood River leads them all in outgoing shipments. While I have been at Hood River many times, I have never seen its apple orchards In bearing until today, and feel that I have been repaid many times over for making the trip.' BRINGS $120 ' A FRONT FOOT I La Grande Property Sold at Record Breaking Price. LA GRANDE, Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) One of the most important real estate transfers in the recent history of La Grande was made yesterday when Julius Roesche became the possessor of W. R. Hamilton's vacant lot on the southeast corner of Adams avenue and Fir street, and the two lots adjoining the property of Charles G. Burte. The price paid for the corner lot was $3600, or $120 per front foot. This is the highest price ever paid before for unimproved property in La Grande. The two inside lots brought to gether $2500. The entire property Is to be covered with a building for business purposes which will be two and possibly three stories In height. It is stated that the projected building improvements will not be undertaken until next Spring as the season is now too far advanced to begin a building of the extent proposed. There is also a temporary scarcity of labor and material. NEW METHOD OF SORTING CALIFORNIA PLAN AVllili BE ADOPTED IN HOOD RIVER. Insures Shipment of Apples In Fine Condition and Expedites Work of Packers. HOOD RIVER, Aug., 23. The Hood River Apple Growers' Union has com menced picking part of its crop for ship ment and Manager Shepard is issuing in structions which will be In the hands of growers this week calling their attention to the necessity of maintaining the high standard of the pack for which Hood River la noted, also , explaining to them a new system for grading apples, that will be put In toe this year. v In explaining the system, which the apple growers' manager says U in vogue in California canneries and which he thinks Is the best that has yet been de vised, he states that three circular holes are cut In a board 2. 3 and 3M inches In diameter and the board placed in front of the sorter, being suspended within easy reach of the hand. As the apples are wiped their size can be quickly de termined by the aid of the board, and they can be placed In 3, 3V4, 4 or 4V4. tier boxes at once. Instead of all being thrown in one box for the packer to re sort. All apples larger or smaller than the holes in the board go into special boxes provided for them. "The great advantage of this system," says Mr, Shepard, "is that the packers can pack directly from the box, or If the apples are placed on the packing table you avoid having all sizes on it at once, which means a great saving of time and the elimination of more or less bruising of the fruit in being handled over several times to get the various sizea. The less bruising we have. . the more. our apples will bring and when it becomes known the more buyers will be willing to pay Us in future. "A crew of four men which we now have packing this way, say it is the best system they have ever used. The first day it was tried they packed out- 280 boxes and we expect that they will do much better than this when the system Is thoroughly established." In his instructions, Mr. Shepard also cautions growers not to offer anything to the packers that Is not absolutely A-l stock, free from blemishes and disease, and adds that fancy prices have been realized this year and that growers must "mak- good" by putting up fancy ap ples.

The exhibits of farm products and live stock will break all records. The farmers and stockmen are taking more Interest in the fair every year,' and it is proving a great advertising scheme for Harney County. ABERDEEN IS STILL BOOMING Heron-Street Real Estate Changes Hands at Advanced Prices. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 23. (Spec ial.) Aberdeen is enjoying a real estate boom similar to the one that set in soon after the big fire of 1903. A considerable amount of property has changed hands on Heron Street, the main thoroughfare of the city, and all vacant property has been sold at greatly advanced prices. Never in the history of the city has there been so much building going on as at the pres ent. The total value of building per mits issued since the first of August, up to the present time is about $200,000. The Gray's Harbor Electric Company, operating a railway between Aberdeen and Hoquiam has planned to extend its line all over this city to meet the grow ing demands of the people.

(Special. ) Several residents on the west side of Hood River Valley reported Thursday that a large bear was ravaging orchards and killing cattle in that neighborhood and asked that some experienced hunters be sent out to locate- the ani mal. Early yesterday morning Cecil Holman, a bear-hunter of considerable local fame, accompanied by Charles Morse, Ed Wright and O. H. Gray, with several, dogs, went In quest of bruin and located Mm about seven miles from town. After a long chase. In which several of the dogs were badly hurt, the animal was cornered and shot. The carcass, which was brought to Hood River, weighed In the neighborhood of 300 pounds. Just before the animal was skinned a snapshot was taken of it and tho hunters. that the Luckiamute Valley and hill lands adjacent to Falls City are among I the most fertile and productive in the j Willamette Valley or In America. Here can be found a soil that is deep, rich and productive, and In which can be raised anything grown in this climate. Here are raised finest apples, pears, prunes, as well as strawberries and other fruits, all superior to those grown in Hood River or any other place. Here two crops o strawberries are raised each year, without irriga tion. The field for fruits, nuts and berries is unlimited, and many orchards and fields are now being-prepared. The English walnut finds here all that is required to make its growth certain and its profit to the grower sure. Falls City is the supply point for all this part of Polk County, and is a new town. at present the passenger terminus of the Salem, Falls City & Western Railroad. This rail road has opened up all this rich por tion of Western Polk County, and is being pushed thrcuigh on the east to Salem, where work is already in prog ress, and on the west into the Slletz Basin, into the largest and finest body of big timber in the world. Louis Gerlinger, , Jr., the youngest manager of a railroad in this country, has shown marked ability In his wise and practical handling of the affairs of this road, and is doing all in his power to open up and develop the rich territory through which it runs. Under his man agement the road Is now shipping hundreds of carloads of Oregon lumber products to the East, as well as grain, fruit and other products of this county. Those desiring to enter the dairy business will find here the ideal place unfailing springs. running water, rich grasses and acres upon acres of wild peas and vetch, and unlimited range. Here there Is no danger from frost, fire, and the grass Is green all the year around. No snow, interferes with the pastnxage of cattle the Winter through. Any person of small means can now obtain a home here, and with a proper amount of Industry, can soon be inde pendent. The railroad company will lend all possible assistance to those desiring to come Into this part of Polk County. The new City of Falls City is largely a creation of the railroad, and the result of opening up this rich terri tory surrounding it. It Is a live town, and no drones are there. Every citi len knows the value of the country around him and is ever ready to show any intending settler the oppor tunities and advantages of this part of the country. The town has a large graded school with several teachers, a newspaper, four churches, a bank, sev eral fraternal societies, and as good social surroundings as any town of its size In the state. For the pleasure-seeker, titers Is good fishing and hunting, plenty of both bear and deer, besides other large game. For the lover of Nature and seeker for health, here is as. delightful scenery as can be found anywhere, with pure mountain air and water, great trees and the healthful breezes from Oregon's tall pines. , An object of great Interest two miles from Falls City, in the Coast Moun tains, is one of the largest private trout preserves and hatcheries in this state, if not on the Pacific Coast. It is owned and operated by J. B. Teal, County Commissioner of Polk County. This preserve is a revelation to the visitor, and an object lesson in that line. Many busy people are not acquaint ed with the fact that Falls City is lo cated not more than . 60 miles form Portland, and can be easily reached in a day from either the Union Depot or from- the JefTerson-street Depot by a short run to Dallas, and a transfer to the Salem, Falls City &Western. PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY La Grande Foundry ( Will Furnish Castings for New Sawmill. X.A GRANDE. Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) The La Grande Iron Works will furnish all castings and machinery fitting re quired for the Hacket Lumber Company's big sawmill -at Elgin. Machinery for this 1 plant commenced to arrive from the East last week and the mill will be Installed as rapidly as possible. Manager Fltgerald of 'the iron foundry, says the plant is crowded to its fullest capacity with other lines of work. He has eight men employed and is in need of three or four machinists who will be put to work in addition to the regular force as soon as they can be secured.

Gannett and G. C. Hill. The capital stock is $25,600. and the principal place of business is Elgin. Big Saving by Hoppicker9. OREGON CITT, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. John Keiser, of West Ore gon City, returned yesterday from an up Valley hopyard. bringing with them $107 in hard-earned cash. That amount repre sents the earnings of the couple, less their expenses, for 14 days' work. Keiser was employed as dryer at the hophouse, while his wife picked hops, making on an average $4.50 each day. While this record has been, perhaps, surpassed by employes in other yards, it serves to give some idea of what the harvesting of the Oregon hop crop means to the people o the state in wages alone each year. Mr. and Mrs. Keiser were making wages at the rate of $107 each, per month. Handles Grand Ronde Fruit. LA GRANDE. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) The Grand Ronde Valley Fruitgrowers' Association is handling a large portion of In M ! ywj -. the fruit of the growers, which is being exported.

A car of Fall apples is ready to be sent, and still another car of pears will be loaded for shipment next week. ' IRRIGON BUYS A CEMETERY First Funeral In the New Town Finds No Provision for Burial. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) The lltle town of Irrlgon Invested in a graveyard last week, as the result of the death -of Cole Harris, the engineer of the Mate Hoover, which was sunk In the Columbia River September 13 Harris was drowned, and last week his body was found lodged against the ferry-boat opposite Irrlgon. The body was taken to that town with the intention of prepar ing the remains for burial ana sending them to his old home in the East, but when the Undertaker from Pendleton reached the place he found that it would be impossible to ship the body or prepare it for shipment. As a result the brother of the dead man decided to bury the corpse at Irrigon. When he commenced to make arrange ments, however, he found that the town had never had a funeral and therefore was witheut a cemetery. In view of this dilemma, however, the city fathers held a meeting and picked out a portion of the desert near by, which they purchased and there started their graveyard: CONTRACT HOPS DELIVERED McLaughlin Lot of SIS Bales Were Purchased In Advance at 20 Cents. SALEM. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Lach mund & Pincus today received the C. A. McLaughlin lot of 375 bales, from Inde pendence, which is the first lot of 1906 20-cent contract .goods to have been taken In this season.

AWAKES FROM SLEEP Signs That Empire City Is Taking New Lease on Life.' MILL WILL BE REOPENED Inference Is Drawn From Action of Southern Oregon Company In Quietly Buying Up All Available Timber Land. EMPIRE CITY, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) After many years the people who have always held that there was a future be fore Empire City are saying "I told you so." There are movements on foot now that warrant the prediction that Empire City is going to awaken from Its long sleep. From Instruments filed with the Clerk of Coos County within the past few days It has been learned that the Southern Ore gon Company has been quietly engaged In buying up lands north of Empire City for some months and deeds haye already been filed covering over 3000 acres of land. The knowing ones say that this means the opening of the big sawmill that has so long been idle, and the fact that the Dean Lumber Company, of Marshfield, sent a man here a few days ago to pur chase some of the machinery and tne refusal of the Southern Oregon Company to sell lends strength to the report that the mill will soon be opened. It is further asserted that a force of men will soon be set at work overhauling the mill. Today, fully three-fourths of the busi ness places and residences in Empire City are deserted, but should the big mills re sume operations, the streets of the city, so long deserted, will again teem wiiu life. The Southern Oregon Company is credited with being the owner of 97,000 acres of land in Coos County, but for some reason best known to the officials of the company this land has not been utilized. Should the mill here be reopened it is said that the company owns enough timber to keep It running day and night for years. The steamer Alliance, from Portland, recently brought a quantity of machin ery for a fish-canning plant to be opened here by Sam Elmore, of Astoria, and 30 tons of tin to be converted into salmon cans. A force of Chinese was also brought down to work In the cannery. Silver salmon will be put up, and it is expected that a large quantity of fish will be put In tins between now and the close of the season, in November. The cold-storage company at Marshfield is now paying 50 cents each for sllversides and If the cannery can afford to pay anywhere near the same figure, fishermen expect to reap a harvest this Fall, for large numbers of the fish come into Coos Bay every Fall. NEW ROAD TO WASIIOUGAL Skamania County Development Will Receive Great Impetus. VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept. 23. (Spe cial.) State Highway Commissioner Jo seph M. Snow, from Olympia, accom panied by Clark county Commissioners A. A. Quarnberg, J. G. Edding and Rob ert Lowe, escorted by County Surveyor F. J. Bailey, arrived from above Wash ougal, where the party have been on an Inspection tour over the new survey for the joint state and county road from the Skamania county line to WashougaL The sur'ey was approved by Commis sioner Snow of Olympia, and as soon as all tire right of way can be secured bids will be opened for the work. There is a Joint fund set aside now for the work of $7500, though this is not enough to finish the work, but enough to get the road fairly under way. The survey through Skamania county has already been completed and approved by the state commissioner, and it is expected that bids will be open for the work about the first of the month. The new road will be a big improve ment over the present road, as all of the grades are less than 6 per cent. This feature oT easy access from the vicinity of Washougal to the Skamania county line and Into Skamania county will be a big step toward the progress and de velopment of that part of the country. It will be especially advantageous to the lumbermen of that section, who are al ready making great Inroads upon the vast belt of timber along the Washougal river, as the road for a considerable part of the way follows the bank of this river. RAIN DAMAGES HOPS IN LANE Fear Is Expressed That Loss of Crop May Reach 4 0 Per Cent. EUGENE, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Rain is causing damage to Lane County hops. Conservatives say it is doing no good; pessimists says hops unpicked will be lost. All small yards have finished pick ing, but large yards have been short of pickers. The Ions will easily be 30 to 40 per cent of the crop. Weather Forecasts by Telephone. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.)
