PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE STATE OF OREGON ELECTRIC LINES THROUGH E New Trolley System Opens Up Rich Land ot Big Wheat Fields. SPOKANE INLAND EXTENDS Trains Run to Rosalia and Will Soon Reach Garfield Increased Ac tivity Will Come AYlicn Spring Opens. GARFIELD, Wash., Jan. 27.-(Special.) By April the first electric trains will be running into this city from Spokane. The gaps between steel laid from the Palouso country end and the Spokane end are be ing rapidly closed up. Steel from Palouse City is now laid within, a mile of Garfield, nd will be completed this week, if good weather continues. From the Spokane end the line has been completed to Rosalia, and the first train ran into that city from Spokane last week. The bits cut at Palouse ' 1 1 y has been completed, and a big lorce ot men 13 I10W grading for a $20,000 depot, which, when erect ed. will be one of the best on the Inland electric line. Work will besln on iho depot as soon as Spring opens up. work ot grading Irom FRloUSC tO MOSCOW, Idaho, has already commenced. A big camp has been established on the Fe.w cett plaoe, and the equipment, consisting? of a steam shovel and small rails for dirt cars, has arrived. Work win first begin on the biK earth cut. which parallels the Northern Faclflc on the - a. wtre 1 1 arm. As soon s Spring opens up, work on the various extensions ot me inland road will be pushed forward. A contract for 7O0O tons of CO and 70-pound steel rails are to be delivered durlne the months of -April, May and June, and will lie Used Oil tl6 Moscow extension and the Liberty lskA line.

To es. tabllsh a co-operat4ve cannery to handle their surplus Irult Is the plan of Lann county fruitgrowers. At a meeting or the I ilnn County Horticultural Society In this city, a committee, consisting- of K. JT. Rhodes, A. C".

It is estimated that It would mean an annual savins: of thousands of dollars to fruit growers in this county. Plans for the cannery are as yet somewhat embryonic, but It is proposed to make the industry a co-operative one, and a stock company will probably be formed to own and. oper ate it. To ascertain the fruits and vegetables best adapted for the Willamette Valley, a committee consisting: of County Fruit In spector Roberts. O. H. Walker and E. W. Cooper was appointed. This committee will Investigate conditions and report at a later meeting of the society. It was the opinion of the meetinft that too little care has been exercised in the Valley as to what products can be. grown here success fully and profitably, and it Is planned to make a careful investigation, with a view of more systematic effort in the future. A report or the meeting- ot the &iate Horticultural Convention in Portland was made to the society by County Fruit In snector Roberts. He explained the victory of the Hood River growers at the exhibit there, and said It was the method of cul ture and care on the part of the growers rather than the climatic conditions of the country that enabled the Hood River men to make the showing that they did. tte advised Valley growers to adopt the same methods of raising and packing their fruit if they wished to attain the same success. Addresses were also made at the meeting: by H. J. Moore, of Benton County, and D. P. Mason, of Albany. The linn County Horticultural Society will meet in this city again soon to con sider further tho question of establishing: a cannery here. KEW SCHOOL IS DEDICATED Modern Building Opened to Pupils at Medford. - MEDFORD, Or.. Jan. 27. (Special.) One of the most modern school build- lngs In Southern Oregon was dedicated in Medford last week, when the new North School was occupied oy 300 pu pils, in charge of eierlvt teachers. The building is up-to-date in every respect, with steam neat, play rooms in the basement and commodious halls and lavatories on each floor. The library room is another attractive feature. Even with these added accommoda- tlons. Medford is not able to house its rapi'lly Increasing school population. This growth is due to tho efficiency to which the schooia have attained under the supervision of Su peri n ten d- ent HlKns and to tho rapid development of Medford as the center of the fa- moua Kogue River Valley. There are now 50 teachers tnpWetl !n the Med ford schools. Miss M in rile Gowland has been promoted to the prlnclpalililp of the new school, and Miss Iva Shirley, ot Hamburg, la., takes the grade for- merly in charge of Miss Gowland. Miss Mary Talbert has been transferred to the North School, and Miss Jennie snedicor, ot sprague, Wash., takes her place. Medford now has two complete pub lic schools and a hlsrh school depart ment, offering full four-year courses in all tranches. Plans arc taking defi nite shape for a four-year business course, including; stenography and typewriting;, and for a scientific study of the agricultural conditions Of the Rogue River Valley. These progres- stve steps are a source of great grati fication to the School Board and to th citizens of Medford. ILL TEST TIMBER Experimental Plant at Eugene . Proves Its Value.

Euffcne, Jan. 27. (Special.) During the visit of tne legislators to the University on Fri day the testing station for the deter mination of the strength of timber and cement received special attention. i This station is one of the five testing plants of the United States Forest Serv ice, the other four being located at Per due University. Yalo; the University of California and the University of "Wash ington. In each place the universities provide the buildings and machinery for carry ing on the tests, and the Forest Serv ice furnishes only the special instru ments of the laboratory for the timber work and the salary of the engineer in charge and the wages of needed help. The Importance and usefulness of buch a station to the engineering stu- dent is not generally recognized, but the practical experience ir of tnaiterials is essential efficiency of the engineer. In the designing and construction of machinery, the engineer must know the breaking, torsion and termite strength of stpei or iron may ue most aflvantateously ana economically employed and in tho construction of brldscs or buildings the safety of ! ti o structure depends upon the strength or lta girders or timbers and the Practical knowledge ot these deter- mlnants is of prime i m portance. The eauipment of the Eiicene station consists of a testing machine of 200.000 pounds capacity, a smaller machine of 30.000 pounds, a con ver table saw and nUner. All oiierated toy an electric motor. For the Govern men t work it is1 sufllclcnt for the needs, but the classes require that there should be several of the 20.000- pound machines for regular laboratory work. The importance of the engineering equipment to tne university ot Oregon student Is readily determined from the fact tliat nearly harf the students are either taltlnef engineertnsr as a major subject or are Including the -work In another course. The timber station has proved of espe cial Importance to the lumbering Interests of the Northwest. A series of testa Just completed have been sent to "Washington and will 1)6 published in pamphlet form. The results of the testa -will show that the Oregon Tted Fir Is equal in strensrth. to the famous yellow pine ut i" states. Farmers Institutes Arranged. OZtUCiOIM C1TT, Or.( Jan. 27. jCSpeclal.) NOT COLD AT PRAIRIE CITY Altliongh Country Has High Alti tude, No Extremes Occurred. PRAIRIE CUT, Or.. Jan. 27. (Spe cial). While the temperature during; the past week has been extremely low In the Pacific isorthwest. it may . seem strange that this section of the coun try, with an altitude of 3300 feet. Has experienced no extreme cold or stormy weather during that time. On Thurs day, January 17, the thermometer reg istered &a low as four degrees below zero, which Is the coldest for this sea son, and that was only for one night. Before the recent cold wave came, it was rainy here nearly continuously for about two weeks, which is very unusual, and the rvada were almost Impassable. During this last cold snap, no snow fell In this valley worth mentioning. Tout it has been foKKy and the air thiclc with frost, which heretofore has been unknown In this section. The frost left a blanket of two or three inches on the ground, sufficient to pro tect vegetation. As a consequence all stock: is doing- well, and the stockmen are enjoying this cold spell, as It U easier and better to feed the range stock on the frozen and .snowy uround. There Is plenty of feed for all stock in thia valley until We middle 01 March, and tome of the stockmen rlalm that they have enough feed for their stock, feeding continuously, un til April 1. The thermometer registered 20 on Sunday, January 13. the following Monday, 2 decrees below zero ; W ednf a day, lO degrees above zero; ThuraUay, . degrees Delow zero; Friday, 22 He- 'frrees above zero, and Saturday and Sunday, aDoui aetrree- s.nove zero.

Best, TEST CEMENT ROCK Automatic Apparatus Installed at Corvallis College. ALL EXPERIMENTS FREE No Charge Made for Examination of Samples of Limestone, Clay, Etc. AVill Assist Kritablishmcnt of the Industry, CORVALLIS, 0r.( Jan. 27. (Speclalj A new automatic cement testing ma chine has been added to the geological department at the Oregon Agricultural College. During" the past year so many inquiries have been made concerning limestone deposits and their adapta bility for cement making that it was deemed necessary to add the new ma chine to the equipment. The depart ment Is prepared to test any Bample of cement for strength, or any lime stone for use in making cement and to give necessary directions for proper mixing- of the ingredients. Samples of limestone sent for test ing should weigh not less than 20 pounds, and should represent an aver age sample of the deposit. The sample of cement to be tested should weigh not less than -en pounds and should be taken from the center of the barrel or box. The sender should prepay the ex- pressage. All samples should be ad dressed to the department of geology. Professor John Fulton, of the de partment, urges that Oregon should manufacture her own cement. The eastern and southern part of the state Is full of available limestone deposits. many of them prime material for the manufacture of cement. In Coos Coun ty, in particular, whore transportation is peculiarly favorable, there are ex cellent deposits. There are also in Jackson. Josephine and Douglas lime stones of the rtrst order which Pro- fessor Fulton has studied to some ex tent with a view to its ultimate use for the manutacture of cement and lime. The usual materials are a pood qual ity of pure clay, of a variety that would make iair pottery, or at least earthenware. When darker than this it contains too much Iron, which, in the process of burning, is apt to form a slag. The percentage of limestone runs from 56 to 66. There are several varieties of lime stone that are used, among them being volcanic tufas, argillaceous limestone, marls and limestone proper, of which there are enormous deposits In various parts of the state. "The volcanic tufas are found In great quantities In the Cascades. It is an indurated volcanic rock, which carries a large per cent of lime and silica combined. The tufas form the cheaper grades of cement Houses In Demand at Kelso. KELSO, Wash.. Jan. 37. Spcclal.) Ie- spite the fact that there has been Con structed in this city within the past two years more than 65 dwelling-houses and 17 stores and warehouses, not Including the 20 or more cottages erected across the river, there is not a vacant storeroom or residence to be rented at any price, and there are a dozen families living In make Shift places over offices and stores, all longing for the comforts of a home.
