THE MORNING OREG0XIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1907. TRAVELERS' GUIDE. PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WATER PUCKS SOIL THE F Deschutes Valley Shows Change After Irrigation. Grants Pass Industrial Show Is Nearly Complete. GROUND IS MADE BETTER HAS MANY ATTRACTIONS 13 IV Q R K Irrigation Farming Kcqulres Care ful Study to Be Successful, and Xewcomers Should Larn How to Manage Ditches. BEND, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) That a very marked change takesplace In the character of the soil of the Des chutes Valley after two or three years of lrigatlon, has been shown by the reclamation work that has been carried on In this vicinity. The soil is a vol 'canic ash and is naturally very light and loose. It is commonly called a sandy soil, and has many of the quali ties of a sandy soil. It is loose at all seasons of the year and may be plowed as easily when wet as when dry. In this respect it has a very decided ad vantage over the soil of the Willamette Valley, where the plowing must be done when it is in just the right condi tion or not at all. Because the soil in this part of the state is so loose and light.it has been believed by many that irrigation would be found Impracticable on account of excessive seepage and washing of soil. But this difficulty has been experienced In few instances and then only for the first season. After the soil has been thoroughly wet and has been irrigated and cultivated for two or three sea sons it becomes heavier and has mom of the appearance of a clay soil. While -the ground never "bakes" as it does in many other sections, and clods axe unknown, it loses some of that lightness and looseness that have been looked upon with disfavor. Grass Strengthens Ditch Walls. Experience has shown that where Ir rigation ditches have been in use for two or three seasons, grass grows along the banks, the roots forming a net work that holds the soil in a solid mass and prevents breaks. Redtop seems almost to be native, though the seed probably floats down the ditches from hayflelds above, and thus the pro tecting cover of grass is started. Dur ing the first year of the operation of a large ditch there has been occasional trouble on account of breaks, but after that no difficulty of consequence is had. Many of the settlers who have taken lands in the tracts that are being re claimed under the Carey act have be gun their improvements with no very definite conception of the work that must be done. They have their minds set upon alfalfa and try at the very outset to get a crop started, without first thoroughly preparing their fields. Later they will have trouble, because their land is not even enough and the water does not run without Interrup tion. The better practice Is to seed annual crops for a year or two, plow ing each year 'and leveling. The level ing process is not difficult, but to do it properly in one season Is expensive. By cultivating the ground a few seasons it can be brought to an even grade, and then, when alfalfa is sown, and a good start has been secured, water turned Into the ditches at one end of the field will run clear to the other end without much trouble. or and more even crops will thus be secured. Must Learn to I'se "Water. The newcomer who has had no ex perience with irrigation can very prof itably spend a large part of his first season worKing for ranchers who have already started crops, for by this means he can get many valuable lessons that will enable him to avoid costly mis takes in laying out his fields and run ning his ditches. Irrigation farming Is different in many respects from agri culture in sections where moisture is supplied by rainfall. The experienced lrrigationl.it has no difficulty whatever In adapting himself to the conditions here, but those who have never before lived in an irrigation region make mistakes unless they seek information where they can from experienced neighbors and the irrigation company. The man who, knows his business or who is willing to learn is practically certain of success, for in an irrigation region crops are sure. Joseph Buch holz, who has a 40-acre tract near this place, has shown this year what can be done by one who understands irriga tion. He has 22 acres In cultivation and raised nearly all kinds of garden vegetables and hay. The land cost him J300. and the expense of clearing the irrigable land was a much more. This year he will sell from his place J1000 worth of produce, besides raising feed for his team.. He will therefore make more than the amount of his Invest ment this one season. Few of the ranchers are keeping ac count of the results of their work, for most of them are cultivating their lands for the first or second time, and have hot yet put their fields in condi tion for good crops. Though they are raising some grain, which they will cut for hay, they are really working chief ly to get their land in shape for per manent seeding. La Grande Gives Object Lesson. L.A GRANDE. Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.) After loss of valuable days by delay, the business men of La Grande are forging to the front in the matter of advertising the city and county. By the last of this week the grounds about the depot will have taken up a street agricultural fair attire and not a colonist will be allowed to pass this city without first having read the story of what the valley possesses and promises. The scheme is to have a large bulletin board erected at the depot in easy view of the passenger tiains which can be glanced over in a few minutes' time, and also a large fruit and agricul tural display, which will be placed In a building at the east end of the depot. The products will be arranged so as to enable all colonists to view it in a few minutes without difficulty. A competent man Is to be given charge of the building and will give his entire time in satisfy ing all who wish to see It. Creamery for Woodburn. WOODBURN. Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The Woodburn Commercial Club last night decided to have a creamery es tablished here at some early date. With this object in view, the club has Issued a call for a farmers' meeting in tliis city on Saturday afternoon, August 31. Through the efforts of the club a cannery will also be put In here by next Spring. Thousands of Woodburn leaflets have . been issued and are being sent East by many women and children of Woodburn. A large prune dryer and cider mill are now being built by J. V. Alderman. It. V'fi y-$. fetltfc btf.-XM-?&m , iK t HXtf-.l i A MINES BUSY IN SISKIYOU COPPER PROPERTIES THERE ARE BEIXG DEVELOPED. Many Ledges In That District Are Now Good-Paying Propositions With Bright Prospects. The Siskiyou County News says that the Blue Ledge Mining Company has planned for extensive development of Its Blue Ledge copper mines, intent upon making this one of the largest copper producers in the state. Rich strikes have been made on the St. Albans, Blue Ex tension and Bloomfield groups of clalmB. On the St. Albans a 60-foot ledge has been found carrying $20 in gold and 4 to 8 per cent copper. More than 600 feet of development work has been dona on this property. The group is owned by Port land anil Spokane mining men. The Blue Ledge Company has com pleted its $10,000 wagon road from Joe Bar to the Blue Ledge, enabling stages and freight wagons to run to that camp. The Champion Group Mining Company, of Portland, is arranging to install a cyanide plant at its mines. Ail its ores are susceptible of treatment by this pro cess, thus effecting a saving of $8 to $10 per ton over the smelter method. This company will also treble the capacity of its stamp mill, and construct an aerial tramway to deliver its ores to Its stamps, which will reduce the cost to 5 cents per ton, as compared with 75 cents to $1 by wagon. The Champion people, on August 16, concluded the purchase of a $75,000 cop per, location, covering an area more than five miles in length and 600 feet wide. It will open up the lode at once.. There was an active struggle between the Gug genheims and the Champion management for this property, but the latter came out ahead. The Guggenheims paid $200,000 fo a property in this same district, and will inaugurate development within a few weeks. -They will build a smelter here. The new town of Eileen, half a mile from the Blue Ledge camp, already has a hotel and store, and application has been made to Washington for a postof fice. The Seattle mining company is planning to build a smelter on Seattle Bar for the treatment of its own ores and will do custom work as well. The Blue Ledge Company has partially arranged for the construction of a smelter on Joe Bar, to which an aerial tram will carry Its ores. It Is working 200 men. It is believed this district will speedily take its place among the greatest copper mining re gions of the country. The Luke Shaw Ledge, owned by J. H. Morrison, is starting in to make its owner rich. It is turning out to be a splendid mine. The Morrison & Carlock mine is again running full blast. Station No. S has just been Installed and drifting for the ledge on this level has been commenced. It is hoped to strike this within two or three weeks. Five tunnels. 100 to 200 feet long with upraises between, indicate the present de velopment of the Overton mine in West ern Siskiyou. t There is over 4500 feet of tunnels on the Holman Fosket mine, and its ledge, 4 to 7 feet wide, assays $23 to $30 to the ton. The average of the three-foot vein on the Highland mine is $50 to the ton. Some of its ore runs as high as $300. C. Cope, of Portland, in Hicky Gulch, has one tunnel 225 feet in. giving a back ing of 1M feet. The general formation is porphry and slate, with ledges 26 feet in width, proven by crosscuts. Assay tests give value of $10 to $12 per ton. Major H. L. Ricks, of Treka, has pur chased the Temple' & Arbuckle mine, on Sugar Creek, and changed Its name to the Madalene Ricks. It has a ledge 8 feet in width that shows mill tests of $85 to the ton. It is a very valuable property. Nine mill tests of Champion Group ores shown sworn-to values of $55. $100, $1593 32 $140. $S60, $198, $768. and $2480 to the ton. This is one of the richest gold propo sitions on the Coast. The Hydraulic mine on McKinney Creek, owned by C. Jensen, has uncovered a 12-foot ledge that runs well up in gold. A 2-year working bond has been given to San Francisco parties for $20,000, and they have commenced sinking a shaft. The Mabel group on the Klamath, near Scott Bar, has been bonded to an Eng lish syndicate. There are two long tun nels on the property, showing a contact ledge with values running about $17. Coos Bay Will Advertise. MARSH FIELD, Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.) The Chamber of Commerce of Marsh field will have an exhibition of fruit jgfe.v-.s v.iv..v......:-.,.. DITCH DIGGER AT WORK ON grown in Coos County, and has offered $60 in cash prizes for the best fruits and vegetables. A special prize of $26 will be given for the best box of Gravensteln apples, which is the variety best adapted to this locality. The Chamber of Com merce is planning an extensive campaign In advertising and will get out some Il lustrated literature for distribution, on a large scale. RECORD YIELD IN PALOCSE Fruit Crop Is' Largest Ever Known In That District. GARFIELD, Wash.. Sept. 1. (Special.) The Palouse country will have the larg est fruit crop this season that it has ever known. Jn many old orchards there are trees that are completely broken down with luclous fruit In the 40-acre apple orchard owned by the Burell estate, near town, there will not be less than $4000 worth of choice apples shipped this Fall. , In the J. B. Trimble orchard, east of Garfield, there will be at least 45 or 50 carloads of splendid fruit that will bring in the East ern market not less than $15,000. Mr. Trimble has Just sold the fruit on his farm to Eastern men, who will pick it and havo It packed in the orchard. The price paid for the fruit will not be made public at present. - Last Spring Mr. Trimble purchased the Tom Woody orchard or ranch of 114 acres, and he also has an, orchard of 40 acres near by that is probably one of the best in the state. jMr. Trimble planted the tract to fruit about nine years ago and carefully selected the trees himself. In this orchard he has 1000 Jonathan trees and several hundied each of Baldwin, Rome Beauty and other choice varieties. He also has in this orchard several hun dred cherry trees that have produced in dollars and cents from $5 to $16 a tree for the past three years. These trees are of the Bing and Royal Ann varieties. Fruit buyers are now coming into the country looking over the fruit situation, and the growers expect a good price for all their Winter keepers. The crop of Italian prunes will be a big one this year, and the big drier west of Garfield expects to do the greatest amount of business that it has ever done since It was built, some 10 years ago. WALLOWA'S NEW LIGHT PLANT Additional Power and Wiring Is Now Being Installed. WALLOWA, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The Wallowa Mercantile Company has a force of men at work under the direction of Thomas DeVall, putting in the pen stock for the new wheel at its mill and electric light plant. The penstock will be IS feet square and the flume will be 12 feet wide and carry a head of water 15 feet high. A new building will be erected for the installation of the new dynamo and switchboard. The transformers and switchboard ar rived .here yesterday and today freighters left for La Grande to bring in the ma chinery for the new lighting plant. Three hundred dollars' worth of rubber covered Inside wire was ordered yester day and the entire town will be' re wired in order 4o meet the demands of the insurance companies. The main lines will be double-braided, weather-proof wire: the inside wires will be rubber covered and the old copper wire now used on the' mains will be used for secondary lines. When completed the lighting system will be the most complete of any town of the size of Wallowa in the state, and by far the finest in Wallowa County. The improvements which have been inaugurated here and the added ma chinery represent an outlay of $10,000 In addition to the plant already here. Profit for Chehalis Furmers. HOQUIAM, Wash., Sept. 1. (Spe cial.) This has been one of the most profitable years for the farmers and fruitgrowers in the history of Che halis County, and In the different val leys comes the word of good crops and excellent yields. The fruit trees are laden to their fullest capacity and the apple, plum and pear crop will pass all expectations. The grain has been of the best and the work of harvesting will soon be over for the season. Poultry-Keepers Organize. GRANT'S PASS, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The Grant's Pass Poultry-Keepers' As sociation has become an effective .or ganization. Its objects are to promote the interest of poultry growing in Josephine County, protect the prices, and eliminate all undesirable breeds of fowls. The prin cipal officers are John Summers, presi dent; A. T. Marshall, secretary. ntfhnrtiirfiiwii ifirniiraf"m;,""ilir f -it. BAST FAILING STREET. HAPPY THOUGH ISOLATED COLONY OF FINNS LIVES IN NE HALEM MOUNTAINS. Wagons Are Unknown and Only Means of Travel Is Over, Rough Trails. HAMLET,, Or., Sept 1. (Special.) Per haps to the average reader this section of the country is as little known as the wilds of Africa, and yet here on the waters of the North Nehalem Is a set tlment composed, with one exception, of Finns. Twenty years ago one of the hardy sons of Finland, looking for a" location for a home, was led into the wilds of the North Nehalem and took up a homestead. He was not selfish, so notified some of his friends, and soon other homesteads were taken, . improvements made, orchards' planted, until now there are eight fami lies living above the falls and a popula tion of about 50. The enterprise of these people may be understood when one learns that the only way to reach the settlement is over a trail through rogged mountains for a dis tance of four miles; that all supplies have to be packed in, eitaer.on horses' backs or human shoulders, and that every family has a cook stove and all household furniture, including sewing machines, mowing machines, hay rakes and hay forks, and that all those articles were packed from ten to 15 miles. There is not a wagon In the settlement, hence there are no wagon roads. All their hauling is done on sleds and one horse Is usually the limit. More than one would be a luxury, not to be thought of for a moment. The range Is good. Cattle, as a rule, do not require much feeding. There Is not a hog In the settle ment, and the only hogs the children have ever seen are a, few hybreds In the shape of hunters who have blown in and been entertained royally, being guided Into the hunting grounds by some kind ly disposed resident, and who have slipped away carrying all the meat they killed, not even dividing with the men who piloted them Into the woods and who were with them when the game was killed. This conduct on the part of said hunters has created a prejudice against hogs, which will be hard to overcome, and it will work a hardship on men who are not hogs, who may come in here to hunt. This is the paradise of elk and deer, and some resident knows where to find them at any season of the year. The close season for elk during the past years hns createu large bands of them, and within five miles of the writer's londuu Is a lake where a band of 30, tame as cattle, were seen last week. Besides this large band there are many lesser bands whose habitat lies in a radius of five miles of Hamlet, the postoffice. AU of the settlers are expecting to lay In a year's supply of elk meat after the 15th of September. These hardy people from the Czar's domain have built a commodious schoolhouse. where a good school is maintained during eight months of the year. Miss Minnie Lewis is teach ing the last half of her second year, and is giving splendid satisfaction. She walks four miles daily, and the inexperienced pedestrian cannot compete with her. The falls of the river are two miles below Mr. Jackson's, whose house is the last but one above the falls. After the Fall rains the river below the falls is literally alive with salmon and salmon trout, and the settlers lay in their Win ter's supply of fish. Their method of capturing the salmon is unique. Instead of seines and spears, they use a dip-net made of burlap and dip i.iem out. When the first settler located on this stream the whole country was covered with a dense forest. Gigantic firs, spruce, cedar and hemlock lifted their tall spires heavenward and rejoiced In magnificent beauty. Today all that is left of that magnificent forest are millions of broken, burned snags, skeletons of the beautiful trees which . once flourished here. The loop-worm came 16 years ago, a migiity horde beyond man's computation, de nuded the coniferous trees i of their needles their death and decay followed. Fifteen years ago the whole country was ripe for a fire. Some thoughtless person started the blaze which swept like a wind-driven Snip through the dead for est, destroying countless millions of the best lumber trees ever seen by man. Some conception of the size of these monarehs of the forest may be formed when it is known that r. Hill has a barn, 40x60 feet, which was built from the lumber sawed from a single tree, a cedar, which stood near the site of the barn. The loop-worms, which were- of a darkish brown color, about an Inch and a half long, and did not touch the foliage of deciduous trees, have never reap peared, although an isolatea specimen is found occasionally. From the chrysalis they emerged into a small butterfly, which dying in Immense numbers clogged the streams and left an intolerable stench which lasted until the Fall rains raised the streams and swept them onward to the ocean. HARVEST IS WELL UNDER WAY Grain, as Well as Fruit and Vege tables, Yields Well. ; ELMA, Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.) Harvesting in the Chehalis Valley is well under way, and a few more days of good weather will see most of the grain threshed and stored away. Grain has yielded well and is exceptionally good in quality. Roots have been growing well and a good crop of them is assured. As this is a good stock and dairy coun try and farmers are all raising and keep ing considerable stock, roots, such as tur nips, , rutabagas and carrots, are plenti fully grown. Hay is the highest price now that it has been at this time of the season In many years. Very little hay will be shipped out of Elma this year; on the other hand, there will be considerable alfalfa hay shipped into this country this Fall and Winter. Stockmen have found out that alfalfa is the best feed obtainable for the dairy cow; it is the greatest milk-producing food to be had and the cow will eat it clean, there being no waste to it. Last year there was considerable alfalfa shipped in and dairymen will feed considerable of it to their milch cows this year. Fruit has yielded better this year than usual. The plum and prune trees are all well loaded; pears and apples are of extra good quality and there will be plenty of them. The indications are that a great many fruit trees will be set out this Fall. With each succeeding year this county is demonstrating that good fruit can be grown here, and more atten tion is being paid to it. The evergreen blackberry, the greatest producer among berries, as well as the best keeper to be found among them. Is now coming on the market; tnere Is no best or banner year among these ever greens, for every year is alike, the bushes being loaded down with all the vnnes will hold. Nowhere doe this berry thrive better than in the Chehalis Valley,, and although once considered a poor market berry. It is now being used and sold to good advantage. NEW HARVESTERS PERFECTED m Moscow Inventors Place Machines at Work lu Fields. MOSCOW, Idaho, Sept. 1. JJSpe cialT) TwoT'corriblriecT "harvesters' and threshers made in Moscow and In vented by Moscow talent are work'ng successfully In the Palouse grain fields. One of the machines, made by Ander son & Quesnell, is now in the fields three or four miles southwest of Mos cow, where It has been in operation since the grain reached a ripe enough stage to thresh. It requires eight to 12 horses and cuts about 20 acres a day, threshes and sacks the grain. "The operation of the machine," said Mr. Anderson, "is sucessful beyond our most sanguine expectations. It , is moving along satisfactorily to Its pro moters and to the man whose grain it is harvesting. We are satisfied with It and do not contemplate any changes in its construction. We expect to be gin the manufacture of this machine for the trade, and hope to have many of them on the market next seaaon. No, we have not decided where our factory for their manufacture will be located." The other combined harvester and thresher was made through the per sonal efforts of F. H. Schreiber. The sample machine put out has been in operation in Whitman Counts' and has worked satisfactorily. It is the in tention of its promoters to put it on the market next year. Farm on Logged-off Lands. ABERDEEN. Wash.i Sept. 1. (Special.) A year or two ago a Polish colony was established on logged-off lands in Chehalis County along the banks of the Upper Wishkah River and that they have pros pered is evidenced by the samples of oats, rye and vegetables which are dis played in a down- town store. The colony numbers several hundred. It Is expected they will be joined by many others the coming Winter. Ten years ago a colony of Germans was established on lands known as Aberdeen gardens, each having a tract of ten acres. They have made the section very prosperous, and many tons of hay and vegetables are shipped by them to this city each year. Decorations and Booths Are Well Along Main Streets Will Be Aglow With Myriads of Incandescent Lights. GRANT'S PASS. Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The Rogue River Industrial Fair and Irrigation Convention is fast assuming form, and progress upon the various buildings and decorations la being pushed along as fast as brains, money and labor can give speed to the initial stasre of things. A force of carpenters is finishing the pavilion. All of the ex tefior work is finished, and now remains the fixing of the interior for the display from the various sections of Southern Oregon. The premium list book will be ready for distribution in fact. It should have been ready by this time, but the committee in charge has had a great many details to attend to and have been somewhat disap pointed in its delay. The decorative part of the fair will receive a great deal of attention from the committee, and all of the streets will be toned up. At the principal points of view several large arches are belns erected to receive a full quota of electric lights. It is quite probable that Sixth street will be brilliantly illuminated upon both sides with electric lights during each evening. This matter is in the hand's of the committee, which at the present time is fully employed in stringing wires to the exhibit-rooms. A good Interest Is bemg manifested by the several committees appointed for each district to work up material and see that it is sent to the fair. The fruit exhibits have begun to come in and are being stored away in the cold-storage building until lime to receive them at the pavilion. AH precious metals and gold-bearing rock will be returned free of charge to parties who have the same on display, and If no Instructions are received in such case, then they are forwarded to the commercial rooms and made a part of the mining exhibit. TWO BANKS ON HONOR ROLL McMinnvllle Only City In Oregon Having This Prestige. M'MINNVILLEv Or., Sept. 1. (Spe cial.) The Financier, of New York City, recently presented in supplement form what It is pleased to term "roll of honor" National banks of the United States for 1907. They place on this list all National banks whose surplus and profits equal or exceed their paid In capital.. This matter Is arranged in convenient form, showing the position of banks in the National system, as well as in the city and state where they are located. According to the Financier there are 6137 banks in operation under National charters. Of these only 880 are entitled to positions on the roll. Oregon averages quite well with seven National banks on the list. The city of McMinnvllle Is proud of the fact that it is the only city in the state having two banks whose names appear upon this roll of honor. The list contains the names of Oregon banks and their relative position as fol lows : Rank Rank Rank In In In Nat'! National Banks State. City.

BAKER CITY, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) That Baker City is to have a flouring mill Is very probable for two men have been here recently looking over the coun try with a view of establishing a mill. J. D. Long, of Cottage Grove, who has a patent hulling process, was the .first to appear on the scene and offer to build a mill if the people would subscribe $10. 000 in stock, the remaining $6,000 to be furnished by himself. The people are a little skeptical about the new hulllnit process, but are willing to do their part toward securing the 300-barrel mill. Fred Walters and son,, of Pendleton, were in the city Sunday Investigating the opportunities of erecting a 500-barrel mill. They did not submit any conditions upon which they would start a mill, but the business men of the town have expressed their willingness to donate a suitable lo cation if they will locate here. Mr. Wal ters owns a 500-barrel mill at Pendleton and is familiar with the conditions which would warrant the establishment of a mill. At the present time there is not enough wheat grown In this vicinity to supply a mill, but if the farmers were assured of a local market for their pro duce, the next year would see a much larger acreage of wheat in Baker County. HOP CROP WILL BE PICKED Yakima Growers Hope for Advance in Price. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.) According to the announce ments of a number of leading hop growers of this city, there will be work for all pickers who come here. While the prevailing prices may prevent some of the growers from harvesting their crops this year, this will apply only to those who are not in a position to finance the work of picking, drying and baling, the banks having decided that they will not advance money this year on the hop crops. Several contracts have been entered Into during the past few days by growers to harvest and sell at eight cents per pound. This price will mean a loss of from 1-2 to 1 1-2 cents per pound on the season's opera tions, but as it is the growers are out two cents, if they do not harvest. There Is still much uncertainly among leading hopmen here as to future prices and some are hopeful that the market will yet pull up to 9 or 10 cents. Picking In Pool's and one or two other big yards will commence to morrow, v If Baby Is Cutting Teeth Bft man and ufie tnat old well-tried remedy, Mrs. Window's Soothing Syrup, for children teething.
