13 VICTOE MANGANESE STEEL BANE SAFE. NEVER BURGLARIZED PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1907. ES' FRUIT Exhibit of Orchard Products Is a Surprise to East ern Visitors. WILL SHOW APPLES HERE Government la Interested In Coal From Coos Mines, With Which to Supply Fleet and Also Makes Experiments.' MARSHFIELD. Or.. Sept. 29.-(Special.) The week ending with Saturday, Sep tember 21. was one of great interest on Coos Bay. The fruit exhibit was in pro gress all the week: and attracted the at tention of people for miles around. The , streets were filled a large part of the time with people from the East who have come to the bay to look up prospects for Investments and to locate. Many of these came from the fruit districts, and were surprised at what they saw at the ex hibit. Many who have been at North Yakima and Hood River were loud In their declarations that Coos County showed up in many lines as well as the places mentioned and that no other place had thus far succeeded in producing Gravensteins equal In size, color and Jlavor to the Coos Bay Gravensteins. The best Gravenstein exhibit was awarded t-5, which went to the Coos River ranch of a EX Seaman. This box was a deep red with beams of yellow dis tributed through the red. Since the ex hibition closed Olds, Wortman & King of Portland has offered the Marshfejd Chamber of Commerce one of Its windows In Portland for the display of Coos Coun ty apples, and the chamber has accepted the offer, and has decided to have the Coos Bay Granvensteln, which has at tained a wonderful reputation in South ern California and San Francisco, as the predominating feature. Many Buy Fruit Land. Since the exhibit of fruits was begun many tracts of land have been purchased by men who see the advantage of grow ing fruit, and particularly apples, west of the Cascades. Large tracts which are adapted to fruit culture are rvailable at as low as $10 per acre, but the prospects are that the influx of people who appre ciate the fact that they do not have to .fight pests in this district and that the expense of irrigation is altogether use less, will cause a market increase In values as the demand is becoming pro nounced. All the bench and hill lands are not suitable for fruit, and those who come to Coos Bay for fruit farms should use discrimination in making their selec tions of locations just as in any other country. The freight which went over Coos Bay Bar In the last 12 months is stated to be approximately 200,000 tonnage, and the prospects are that this will be well-nigh doubled during the next 12 months. The Smith Lumber & Manufacturing Com pany of Minneapolis has made this place its Oregon headquarters and have a mill of 250,000 feet dally capacity, counting the working-day of ten hours. They expect to have their large steamer, drawing 18 fetft. .wrrer, arrive from Norfolk, Va., rwhere it is b-.lntf built, the first of the year, and will we it In carrying lumber for the Or!nal trade. The harbor is not at rhis tl;he capable of receiving this vessel at the" company's docks at Marsh field on account of the shallowness of the chaniel. This can be easily remedied by dredging, and plans have been en tered lito by the Chamber of Commerce and the' active citizens of the city to purchase a dredge and put It at work, making the channel wider and deeper so that other ships of deep draught as well ea that of the lumber company can reach the bay above Marshfield. ' Men familiar with other harbors, both on the Pacific Coast and In foreign countries, claim that the harbor of Coos Bay is capable of being made of small expense one of the great harbors of the world. The dredging operations now to be under taken, plans for which have been re ported to the chambers of commerce both of Marshfield and North Bend, will make the harbor capable of receiving any ship drawing 20 feet of water. Such ships are now able to cross the bar at low water. , Channel Needs Buoys.' The extent to which the United States Government has overlooked and ignored the Pacific Coast is shown by the fact that the Jetty at the mouth of the har bor has been allowed to fall into partial i ruin and ships making the port are fre quently delayed by reason of their inabil ity to find It. There are no buoys and markings maintained by the Government for the aid of shipping as in the case of ell porta of even minor" Importance. But in spite of this the depth of water on the tar is reported by Government engineers to be all that could be desired. Considerable activity Is being shown in the coal mines, which have been opened in the vicinity of the navigable waters of the bay, and a large number of Jao- enes and Chinese, as well as Greeks, have Daen Drought into the neighboring coun , try and set to work In the mines. The demand for fuel coal on ,Coos Bay Is in creasing, but the quantity of coal in sight renders It improbable that there will ever . be any coal question here. The difficulty is to get labor to produce the coal. The estimated quantity of coal in Coos Coun ty is 800,000,000 tons. Coos Bay is said to be the only harbor In the world where ships can load practically at the mine's mouth. At a recent meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce the value of this coal for naval purposes was taken up and representations made to the Government at ashington. The coal does not come up to the standard required by the Navy but it has been demonstrated that it can be brought to that standard by the bri- quettmg process, which has been em ployed for years In Germany. The cost of brlquettlng Is very slight and the qual ity of the coal will be so improved there by as to make it very acceptable. Jt is being made the subject of Government in vestigation and it is believed by many reputable coal experts that the Coos uay coal measures will aid largely In solv ing the problem of coal for the American Navy on the Pacific. Cities May Consolidate. The Coos Bay cities are growing rap idly and the old question of consolidat ing the two cities of North Bend and Marshfield under the name of the City of Coos or Coosbay, has been revived. It is claimed that the rapid growth of the population and industries of the two cities is investing their names with some commercial value and that the longer the separate existence of the two cities Is maintained the more difficult It will be to effect the desired union. Everybody on Coos Bay Is In favor of the consolida tion at present except, perhaps, a few politicians. The two cities together have p. BQoulatlon of about 7000 and are in COOS PROD C SPLENDID creasing that at the rate of about 130 a month. As they are only three miles from center to center they have common in terests, and there is no reason why they should be run as two municipalities. The two townsites and additions are contig uous and stretch along the waterfront of the inner bay. The united area would scarcely be six square miles, - whereas many cities of only 10.000 people often embrace 16 square miles in their lim its. The travel between the cities Is al most exclusively by water, and a large number of launches accommodate the public in this line. Marshfield has ex tended Its waterfront street, by means of a plank road nearly a mile In length, toward North Bend, and it Is expected that its construction will be met by a similar one built from North Bend toward Marshfield. This will put the two centers within a short walk of each other and add another strong llnv to the chain of consolidation. Besides enabling both pop ulations to enjoy the benefit of the wide ly advertised name of Coos Bay. the con solidation, it Is urged, will increase the financial strength of the community and Impress the outside world with the per manency and commercial value of the new city. It would also place e City of Coosbay In the front rank of Oregon cities outside of Portland, and make It the undisputed metropolis of Southern Oregon. OREGON STOCK AT YAKIMA Horses, Cattle and Hogs Made the Washington State Fair a Success. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Sept. 28. (Special. ) Oregon has shown up strongly at the Washington State Fair and had this state not drawn on It so largely the live stock show would have been a failure. Instead of the great success it has proved. Oregon sheep and hogs prac tically made up that department. Oregon horses were the best shown, and Oregon Jerseys and Holsteins helped In filling out the superior dairy breeds shown, here. H. West, of Scappoose, showed a phenom enal herd of Jerseys and the younger stock made it' apparent that he will be a hard competitor for those In his class when the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Fair live stock show is opened two years hence-. A. C. Ruby, of Portland, exhibited a collection of draught horses, one of which, a shire stallion. Is declared to be the equal of any In the United States. He should be as he was a blue ribbon "topper" at the Royal shpw In London, England, i a year ago. P. A. Frakes, of Scappoose, was forced to divide honors In the Holstein class with the Hazlewood Company of Spokane, and William Todd of North Taklma. but captured a number of firsts. A. J. Splawn of North Yakima, and Paul Clagstone of Clagstone, Ida., fought It out in the Hereford classes. Mr. Clagstone had the better of It in the bulls, but his cows went under In com petition with those of Mr. Splawn. Mr. Clagstone purchased Mr. Splawn's grand champion cow Emma Nevada, a North Yakima bred animal, for 1500. A fine flock of sheep of the Dorset breed was shown by Richard Scott of Mllwaukie, Or., and Charles Cleveland of Gresham, Or., had the best flock of Shropshlres ever -exhibited in Washing ton. In the swine department Cleveland showed Essex pigs, never before seen here. Ed Shoel from Eastern Oregon had Chester Whites and a number of fine feathered stock, while W. F. Craw ford came from Salem with Poland China hogs. Charles Rlddell and James Hawley also came over from Salem, the former with Cotswold sheep and the latter with Lincolns. Mr. Hawley showed a Lincoln lamb of six months which weighed 214 pounds. Dr. Wlthycombe of the Oregon Agricul tural College at Salem, was the stock judge. In a stock Judging contest here by seven youths from the State college at Pullman, under the direction of Dr. Withycombe. Virgil O. McWhorter, a North Yakima boy. made a perfect score, selecting seven winners out of seven classes shown, according to the standard of Dr. Withycombe. Oil Prospectors Busy. VALB, Or.. Sept. 29. (Special.) Work on the oil wells has been held up for about two weeks on account of some lo cal people filing on a section of oil land, formerly located on by the oil wells com pany. Efforts were made "to get the claimants to relinquish their filings in favor of the company but without avail. The company again started to boring Wednesday. A car of oil machinery, consisting of an oil pump and boring machinery, arrived last week. The com pany feels confident of ultimate success. Electric Plant Complete. VALE, Or., Sept. 29. (Special.)-The electric light syBtem Is almost completed and In running order. The big engine has been placed In the old flouring mill building. The dynamos are in place and the owners report that the plant will be ready for operation Inside of two weeks. MALHECR COUNTY TAKES IRRIGATION PRIZES. ONTARIO. Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) The above is a picture of the donor and cup given by Governor George C. Pardee to Oregon for the best collective state exhibit of fruits grown by 'Irrigation. The cup is In the keeping of Malheur County, whoze exhih.lt won the trophy. Malheur also had the dis tinction of winning the $100 prixe for the beet exhibit of paars by J. A. Lacky and the $100 prlxe for the best exhibit of alfalfa by A A Prown. both of Ontario. - CAULIFLOWER ft w-U tt ,-, - M' xY i k-vH tTif -V 4 'Jws : HEAD OF CAULIPXOWER, RAISED BT A. E.

String Attached of Expenditure of $1000 a Year for Improve ments Is Kot Favored. ABERDEEN, "Wash.. Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) The Mayor and Council are at the present time wrestling with the proposi tion of a park, which has been given to the city by Mrs. James Stewart, widow of James Stewart, one of the founders of Aberdeen. Mrs. Stewart has offered a perpetual lease of 40 acres of land In the northern section of the city, provided the municipality expends J1000 a year on the property for a period of ten years. She makes the further provision that If min eral or coal Is discovered and -the city attempts to use the land for profit, then it Is to revert to her heirs. The Mayor and Council probably w'H not accept the terms of Mrs. dtewart because of the strings attached to It. yet not long since the same body of officials refused an offer of $15,000 from Andrew Carnegie for library purposes with no strings whatever. Some years ago the mother of Mrs. Stewart offered a tract of 20 acres cf land provided the city improve it nt the rate of $500 a year for five years. The Council permltteld the use of the wood on this land for the water works plant for several years and then turned back the proposition. Later the pity entered Into an agreement to pay $400 a year for the water privileges on this same tract and Is still paying this sum and In ad dition offered $2500 In gold for the land that could have been had praciic-a.ly free. It Is the belief of a good many peif-ons that there is nothing In the present offer to prohibit Its acceptance and that It should not be turned down, espe.ra.ly be cause of the fact that the land will be very valuable In a few years and be cause of the further fact that th city Is not likely to receive so good an cCtr Oi a park again, ihe city at the prsit " l"" t GROWS LIKE THIS IN MARION COUNTY time is without anything that las a s- m blance to a park. - Some of the Councilmen contend that the city is unable to expend $1000 a year on a park at the present time. DEVELOP SEW WATER POWER Elma Electric Company Will Utilize Cloqnallnm Creek. ELMA, Wash., Sept. 8. (Special.) Chehalls County abounds In some of tha finest water powers in the state. The Upper Satsop River, the Wlshkah River and numerous other streams flowing Into Grays Harbor afford magnificent oppor tunities for the development of water power for commercial ' purposes. Scarce ly, a move has as yet been made to se cure any of Uiese water-power sites. The Elma Light & Power Company Is among the first to take advantage of the oppor, tunitlea afforded and now has a large force of men at work on the Cloquallum Creek, three miles northeast of Elma, constructing a large dam to store water and will Install one of the latest model waterwheels. The water can be backed ur for several miles without doing any damage and power enough can be derived to give light and power to the town of Blma for years to come. The company has a fran chise from the town of Elma for fur nishing light to the town. Its present plant has been in operation for three years. The power has been obtained from steam, but the cost of wood and coal has become so high that the company de cided to Install a water-power plant. The saving In fuel and - operating expenses will be about $200 a month. PALOUSE BANKS PROSPEROUS Garfield Institutions Reflect Healthy Conditions of State. GARFIEND, Wash., Sept. 29. (Special.) The two banks of this town have on de posit $354,424.11. The money deposited practically belongs to the farmers of the Garfield district and as there is but about 1000 Inhabitants In Garfield, the banks make a better showing for the popula tion than the banks of any town outside of Spokane except Colfa. Both banks are In a healthy condition and are doing more business each year. The bank of Q. W. Nye & Company, formerly the bank of Garfield', haa prac tically doubled its business in the past year. Mr. Nye, the cashier of the Insti tution, Is one of the oldest bankers In Whitman County. He came to Garfield when there was but two or three build ings here, and as grown up with the town. William Cox, Bryan Westleott and J. C. Lawrence are connected with the In stitution and are all farmers auj busi ness men of the community. The First State Bank is one of tha pio-g-ressive institutions of the town and was established some ten years ago by A. P. Johnson & CoVipany. Its cashier Is Robert Johnke. and the assistant cash ier is Mrs. A. P. Johnson. The bank la adding to Its deposits and the volume of business done each year. 8PXJE-Im WORK !' SPARTA DISTRICT. Bpart Mining; and Development Co. Pre paring for Extensive Work. The Sparta Mining and Development Company is forging ahead rapidly and is making extensive preparations for vigorous mining during the coming Winter. They are building a large boarding-house, barn, woodshed and other necessary camp structures and are getting in all -kinds of mining ma terial with a view of putting on a full force of men. This property Is largely owned in Morrow County and is fortu nate In having; Frank Habelt as their general manager. In close proximity to this group of quartz mines is locat ed the Oregon Big Four group under the management Of J. J. Rankin, of the Jollet Smelting and Reduction Works of Illinois, who are installing a medium-size, up-to-date quartz mill on their promising property. These mines He on the Powder River slope south and east of the Gem and Crystal Palaco group of 'quartz mines and are un doubtedly on the same mineral zone. Their development is being watched with muh interest. The officers of this company are W. J. Blake, president; George B. Dukek, vice-president; -W. T. McXabb, treas urer; T. J. Mahoney. secretary, and Frank J. Habelt is the superintendent and manager. The company has soma very promising property in the Sparta mining district, about three miles south of Sparta, consisting; of twelve gold claims and Ihree claims of two parallel running copper ledges. Every thing is adjoining and in one body. There is also a fine mill-site and water right and It Is situated about one and one-half miles north of the Powder River and the proposed Eagle Valley Railroad. As oon as the power-house on tha Oxbow or the Eagle Creek power house is completed, so as to secure cheap power to work the mine, it will become a good producer. " iww'iiwwtw-tw numi li.u i w- uijpw ' " rr VH TO IMPROVE MANY STREETS OREGON CITY WILL SPEND $30, 000 THIS YEAR. Crushed Rock Is Used for Paving, and Concrete Sidewalks Are Being Laid. OREGON CITY. Or., Sept. 29.-(Speclal.) Nearly $30,000 is being expended this year In street Improvements by Oregon City and the work Is well on the way to completion under the direction of Harry Jones, who has the contracts for the work on all the streets to , be im proved. Last year the city improved Fifth and Sixth streets from Railroad avenue to Water street and the condl tlon of these streets was so satisfactory that the city determined to proceed with the Improvement of Fourth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets from Main to Water etreet, and also John Quincy Adams and Madison streets. The Improvement of the latter street will cost $18. 285.65. Crushed rock is being placed on these streets and In many Instances the owners of property are joining hands with the city along the line of civic Improvement and are constructing concrete sidewalks. Two-thirds of the cost of the street lm provement Is taxed to the property and the city pays the remaining one-third from the permanent street improvement fund, which will be overdrawn about $4000 when the improvements now under way are completed. The improvement of street leading to a site for a public wharf yet to be chosen is also contemplated, and this street will either be Moss and Eleventh, or Twelfth, depending whether the dock Is located at the foot of the latter street or at the water front at the foot of Eleventh and Moss streets. The cost of improving the streets follows: Fourth, $2104.34; Seventh, $881:22; Eighth, $2076.33; Ninth and Ninth extension. $1807.17 Tenth, $1500.03: John Qunincy Adams, $1292.45; Madison, $18,285.65.

A large dredge has been brought here from Westport, where 't has been used by a syndicate in dredging land which is to be reclaimed for garden pur poses. The land is to be dykod and col onized by Hollanders and Germans. Take Stock in Pulpmlll. ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) There has been a good block of stock subscribed for the proposed pulp and paper mill which is to be erscted cn the south side. The company haa been capitalized at $1,000,000. PHOTO POST CARDS SCENERY. Klaer Co. Lobby Imperial Hotei DIG OUT GOLD ORE Renewed Interest in Mining in Southern Oregon. MANY COMPANIES ACTIVE Development Work In Bohemia Dis trict Brings Reassuring News. Cottage Grove Has a Pro nounced Building Boom. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Sept.29. (Special.) Perhaps nothing has hurt the-mining business In Central Oregon more thn the failure of the Oregon Securities Company of Bohemia a few months ago. Foreign capital and de velopments were looking to that com pany for general results. The whole plant was kept In constant operation and since the advent of the new com pany, "The West Coast Mines Com pany," the whole mine force has been kept in motion, and the gold output Is more then paying the running ex penses. This, together with the start ing of the deep tunnel, beginning at the Champion mill and to be 3000 feet In length. Is of much encourage ment to the other companies and In dividual holders. The Vesuvius Company has all this time kept quite a fcSree at work driving a 1400-foot tunnel, which gives a verti cal depth of 900 feet. The tunnel Is noW In 1200 feet, and is being drlvtn as speedily as possible. In driving this tunnel the company has gone through some splendid oodles of ore, both base and free milling. It has been the opinion of experts that in attaining depths in the Bohemia district from 700 feet down there would be very lit tle oxidized matter, and thaj the ore bodies would be very base and hard, but this Is a mistake. There are both free milling and base ores to contend with as Is found in the 300 and 400 foot levels, but showing a marked in crease In value and the question of handling the ores is not as difficult a matter as was predicted. Cottage Grove and vicinity is hav ing an unusual boom in real estate. Farms by the score are changing hands, and acre tracts adjoining the city are selling for $200 per acre. The farm lands are selling from $'22.50 to $40 per acre, and during the last ten days there has been fully $200,000 changed hands for farm properties. This year's grain crops were good. Wheat and oats In most cases aver aged from 25 to 40 bushels per acre, and In some cases went as high as 60 to the acre. The prices for all farm products were never so good as now and are showing an upward tendency con stantly. These conditions are largely due to the heavy investments of foreign capital. ORE ALMOST PURE COPPER Great Strike Made op East Eagle Creek Near Baker. BAKER CITY. Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) What is undoubtedly the richest deposit of copper ore In Eastern Oregon has been opened up on East Eagle Creek. An assay shows the ore to carry 90 per cent copper besides $5 in gold and $3 in silver. The ore is about two or three miles from the neanest wagon road, and Is accessible only by pack-train. The men who discovered the mine are taking out two carloads of ore which will be shipped to the smelter for a general test. A sample of the ore brought to Baker City Is the finest specimen ever seen here. The men who discovered the prop erty are Frank Cavlness, Bob Veatch, Johnny LaPlante and Charles Landers, all experienced miners. They will push the development work as rapidly as pos sible. , SURVEY FOR NEW POWER PLAN Another Big Station to Be Built on the Clackamas. GRESHAM. Or.. Sept. 29. (Special.) A surveying party Is now out on Oak Grove Creek, above Estacada on tha Clackamas River, running lines for the establish- ment of a new electric power plant. Oak Grove Creek is a tributary of the Clack amas and offers wonderful opportunities for power. The plan Is to construct a canal for a distance of eight miles along a hillside, which will give a fall of 1000 feet and will generate 40,000 electric horse power. Before actual work ie begun the railroad will be extended up the Clack amas, which, it is Intended, shall be done. Ready for Jetty Work. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 29. (Spe cial.) The preliminary work of getting everything ready for building the north Jetty at Grays Harbor is about completed and while little will be done this Winter, there will be an early start tha coining Spring.
