TUE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, JTTJXE 22, I90S WALK 2450 MILES IN ONE PAIR OFSBOES Phases of Industrial Growth in the Pacific Northwest RUSHES OUT LOGS NEW BUILDING OF FLANAGAN & BENNETT BANK, AT MAESHFIELD, OR. 1YIuIIlu New "Yarder and Loader" in Commission Near Elma. LOADS 200,000 FEET DAILY Does Work of Two Donkey Engines, Besides Doing Away With Big Crew of Men for Loading of Cars. ELMA. WmIi., June 21. (Special.) The S. E. Slade Lumber Company, a San Francisco corporation, of which W. R. Mack is local representative, owning large sawmills on Grays Harbor and ex tensive logging -works near Elma. has In stalled a new combination "yarder and loader" that is attracting Jhe attention of ail loggers In this county. The com pany's camps have been visited by many Interested in the logging business to watch the working of this new inven tion, and by all who have seen it handled it is pronounced a great success. The machine will easily yard up and load 2iV),X0 feet a day; it will pick up a ten ton log and land it on the car at any place as easily as a man would lay a toothpick down. One objection, however, that has been noticed, but which will be remedied, Is that certain parts of the machine" are tfO light for this timber. The machine Is the invention of an Eastern man and was made in Duluth, Minn., in a region where logs are much smaller than on tho Paciilc CoaFt. The loader cost $6500 and will pay for itself in a short time. It takes tho place of two donkey engines, a loader and a yarder, with their crews. A piece of track is built through a tract of timber and all that is nccsesary is to cut the trees down and into sawlogs; no roads are necessary to swamp out to reach the logs, but a steel cable an inch thick is run out from the loader and fastened to the log and the log is then drawn to the machine and hoisted high in the air and let down on the car. It is an exciting Fight to witness the log come tearing perhaps a half mile out from the track in the woods through the brush and treetops to the machine and then go fly ing in the air and down in place on the logging car. In the opinion of well-known loggers who have watched the machine work, it is believed that it will come into general use in the logging camps. This inven tion, like many others that have been made in the logging and lumbering in dustry, is a great labor-saving one, be , sides permitting rapid handling of logs. ' At the present rate of cutting and tho means now at hand for cutting and man ufacturing timber, the day of the logging industry, which has been such a great source of revenue to so many, will be near at hand. COMPLETING CONDENSERY McMinnville to Have Plant Large as Any in Country. M'MINVILLH. Or., June 21. (Special.) The main building of the Willamette Valley Condensed Milk Company, now under construction in this city, is nearly completed.

The buildings oc cupy a plat of four and a half acres of ground which will be parked and beau tified, and will be supplied with the latest improved condensing , machinery, operated by Leon Chevalley, who learned his craft in Switzerland. The capacity of the plant is normally 100,000 pounds a day, producing 1,000 cases of cendensed milk. This can be Increased to 1350 cases, consuming 135SO0 pounds of milk. Already sufficient milk has been pledged to run the Institution to its capacity, and it is the intention of the company to begin operations between September 13 and October. They will commence in stalling the machinery in July. J. Woods Smith, of Portland, is president, and Otto Olston vice-president of the company, which has a capitalization of $100,000.

Many McMinnville peo ple, Including both National banks, have secured stock in this enterprise that means so much for the prosperity of the town and surrounding country. It has been conservatively estimated that when the plant is running to its full capacity it will distribute from S0,000 to J75.000 every month to the farmers and others. It will have from 50 to 60 people on the payroll. Each can of McMinnville con densed milk will bear the label "Butter cup Brand." Construction of the build ' ing is under the supervision of J. G. Dietrich, the architect who has built nearly all of the condenseries in the Northwest. FL0URMILL FOR BAKER CITY rromoter Well Pleased With Out look for Grain Supply. BAKER CITY, Or., June 21. (Special.) H. W. Speer, who has just finished an investigation of the conditions here re garding establishing a flouring mill, an nounces that he is pleased with the out look and will probably make arrange ments at an early date to remove from his present location in Carml, 111., and estab lish a modern mill at this point. Several' times lately Baker has had men here looking over the field with a view to en gaging In the milling business, but it is doubtful If the matter has ever been in such good shape and the probability so assured as now. . Investigation shows that the wheat acreage has Increased in this vicinity remarkably in the last two years, and since the dry lands have been farmed and proved beyond a question that they will produce wheat, it is thought there can be an ample supply raised here to keep a flouring mill busy.

EUGENE TO SHIP CHERRIES Fruit Association Prepares to Send Dark Varieties East. EUGENE, Or., June 21. (Special.) The Lane County Fruit Growers' Asso ciation is making extensive arrangements to ship a considerable part of the cherry crop from this county this year. An expert packer from California will soon be on the ground to take charge of the work. 1 The cherries to be shipped will be prin cipally the darker varieties, which are so much In demand as fresh fruit in the city stands the Bings. Lamberts and Black Republicans. These varieties do not bring as good prices for canning as the Royal Anne, but they are more In demand as fresh fruit. The association thinks It can ship the darker varieties east and realize as well on thorn as they are able to do here on the Royal Annes. If this experiment Is successful it will give cherry raising, which is already a big industry here, an added stimulus. The association will also ship Royal Annes and other varieties of cherries, but particular attention this year will- be given to the darker varie ties. The Royal Annes of this section of the state are said to be the best raised anywhere and it is the hope of tne Lane County Fruit Grower?' Association to get the same recognition for other varieties of cherries if possible, and build up a special reputation for this section of Ore gon as the great cherry country.

Over mountains and through snow, through wet. slush and mud, freezing at times ,and oppressed by heat at others. William Jackson and R. T. Hay, two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every mile of the way from Seattle to Chi cago, Just arriving within a few hours of the time limit, thereby winning a purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given by the Seattle Athletic. Club for accomplishing this feat within the pre scribed time. Jackson and Hay left Seattle with but Five Dollars in money and were obliged to earn their way ns they went and leave no unpaid bills, and complete the journey In ninety days. it. 30 As the Shoes Looked After the Journey. An interesting fact in connection with this walk was that but one pair of shoes was worn by each of them on the 2450-mile Journey, and that they never ripped or lost a stitch during the entire trip. The shoes worn in this contest were made by the F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company, Mil waukee, who have established a great reputation throughout the country as manufacturers of the highest type of quality shoes; in consequence of which the business of this house has had a phenomenal growth. Nine thousand pairs per day is the present capacity of the Mayer factories. As a matter of contrast, and to show that there is a marked difference in the quality of shoes, while Hay and Jackson completed their 24i0-mile trip in a single pair of shoes that were practically intact at the end, J. T. Sutherland, another pedestrian, who had reached Ovuosso, Mich., on a coast-to-coast walk.' had worn out thirty one pairs of shoes on his journey up to the time of his arrival in Owosso. Leading brands manufactured by the F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company are the Honorbilt for Men; Leading: Lady, for Women; Martha Washington Com fort Shoes; Yerma Cushion Shoes; Spe cial Merit School Shoes. The Washington Shoe Mfg. Co., Seat tle, is the Western branch of the F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company. be a reality. Fortunately for the county, work on this building was not started un til after crest of high-priced labor and material had passed. This will mean a saving of several thousand dollars to the taxpayers, and the building will be erect ed and nnlshed for less money than was at first contemplated. At the request of the County Court the commercial organizations have appointed a committee of three business men to meet with the court as an advisory board when contracts are to be let on the building.

GIVES YOU SOMETHING to live for, something to leave behind, some thing to anchor to in times of dis , tress, something upon which to found a business of your own. PROFITS COMMAND INVESTMENTS Without them, there would be no in vesting. Real estate is the basis of all value and is, consequently, the most popular investment for men of means, both large and small. These savings ill- profits are better than terest. APPEAL TO EVERYBODY, re gardless of the amount to be invest ed. The larger the investment, the greater the profit, but the percentage remains practically the same. This gives you a chance. IN REAL ESTATE, depend solely upon the movement of people.

Larry K. Evans, twirler for the police, struck out 15 mem bers of the Gibson nine and didn't allow a single hit.
