A. Miller Figures Out That Ills Patch of Strawberries Should Return Illm $5000. WALLOWA. Or.. July 4. (Special.) Strawberries are a profitable crop all over the Northwest, but there are few places where they produce larger re turns than In the Wallowa Valley. There are no large fields of berries here, but there are many small ones that are yielding Immense returns for the labor and Investment which they represent. G. A. Miller last year received nearly 2n0 net from less than one-fifth of an acre. This year he has Improved his fields, and as the season Is one of the best he expects to greatly exceed that yield. Mr. Miller is a close student of berry culture, and he has learned some inter esting things in regard to berry cul ture In this particular vicinity. He finds that berries produce best when planted In rows alternating two feet and three feet apart, and with the plants nine inches apart in the rows. This gives over 23,000 plants to the acre. Mr. Miller estimates ' that this year's yield will average two quarts to the plant, makings total yield of 46, 064 quarts an acre. The price he re ceives has never been leas than 50 cents a gallon. At this rate the gross return would be more than 5000 an acre in a single season. This, of course, is an exceptional yield, but Mr. Miller asserts that with proper care straw berries can be made to average $3000 an acre each year. The result of his experiments dis closes the fact that one man can care for one acra of berries at all times except when cutting the runners and picking the fruit. Land of the same quality, hut unim proved, can be bought in this vicinity for from $25 to 50 per acre. OREGON'S MOTHER LODE Government Describes North Pole Columbia Ore Vein. OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 4. .i.,e" Cracker Creek mining district. In the northwestern part of Baker County, Oregon, is a mall part of the Blue Mountain gold belt of the state, and as generally de fined comprises the drainage basins of Cracker, and Fruit Creeks. The princi pal mines In this district are the North Pole, fcureka. Excelsior, Columbia and Oolconda, all located, from northeast to southwest in the order named, on one persistent fissure, the North Pole Columbia vein, or "mother lode."' as-lt Is locally designated. The aggregate pro duction of the mines on this lode is es timated to be at least 17.000,000. At present the Columbia Is the only producing mine in the district, but the suspension of operations in most of the others Is believed to be temporary and not caused - by exhaustion of the ore bodies. In addition, to the mines above mentioned there are a number of mailer mines and prospects on which tnnual assessment and considerable de velopment work Is being done. In November, 1908, during the progress of field work on the Sumpter quadrangle, in the northern part of which this district lies, J. T. Pardee, of the United States Geological Survey,' took advantage of the opportunity to rlsit the underground workings of the Columbia and North Pole mines, and he has prepared a report which is published In the Survey's "Contribu tions to economic geology, 1908, Part I." The report treats unefly of fault ing and vein structure in the district, ind the following practical conclusions re deduced: "The results of tructural study in the Cracker Greek district Indicate that the 'mother lode' Is not notably dis placed by transverse faults. Within the vein Itself, however, there are faults which affect the ore bodies. Some of the smaller veins have been offset by faulting. The -act that the faults of known attitude are normal, and that in the movement upon them the horizontal component Is commonly as Important as the vertical one, should be taken Into account In the development of such ore bodies as have been displaced." Bulletin S80-A. containing Mr. Par dee'a paper, may be obtained free of cost by applying to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. MOSIER BANK ORGANIZED Institution of Homo Capital Ready tor Business Tuesday. MOSIER, Or., July 4. (Special.) Organ ization of the Mosier Valley Bank has been completed and the Institution will be open for business Tuesday, July 6.

A reported strike of good placer gold yesterday in the basin of Seymour creek, three miles from the city, was confirmed today by J. L. Marriott. An Australian prospector made the dis covery and returns yielded thus far show $150 to 200 per ton. Pans taken by Marriott and seventeen stak ers run from 10 to 20 cents each. Sluicing operations have been begun on the property and present indica tions are that a regular mining rush to the scene of the new discovery at the clty'a front door will aoon be on. t lJLdi---. - . (i. A. MILLER'S STRAWBERRY FIELD. CLUB DDES GOOD WORK KLAMATH FALLS BUSINESS MEN LEND AID. Chamber of Commerce Is Well Fi nanced for Publicity Work Undertaken. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. July 4. (Spe cial.) Klamath County has among Its In stitutions a Chamber of Commerce that is doing much to attract to Southeastern Oregon a good class of people. It was reorganized a little more than a year ago with a board of directors that was given entire charge of the business of the or ganization, general meetings of the mem bership being made quarterly instead of monthly, as had been the case. This concentration of responsibility In volved much labor on the men selected to compose the board, but they have given freely of their time and energies for com munity good, and welcome the more gen eral support that has been accorded re cently by citizens generally in furthering the public matters that have been deemed of such importance as to have the atten tion of the body. "Railroad day" Is the date from which future historians of Klamath will date their record of the modern city and pro gressive region of modern transportation facilities. In its inception the decision was reached to handle the Railroad day celebration as one of the various inci dents of the year to be taken care of, and Its financial support was provided in a general fund subscribed by business men and property-owners, payable monthly for one year, thus creating a permanent fund that would put the organization on a business basis. The board is composed of the following members: W. A. Delzell. president : George T. Baldwin, vice-president; R. H. Dunbar, W. H. Dolbeer. Frank Ira White, Alex Martin, Jr., and EL B. Hall. This" Is a bunch of hearty boosters, and with the active support given them by a lively lot of business men, have been doing a great deal to advance the Gateway City of Southeastern Oregon. x PAVED AREA GROWS TIARD SURFACE FOR 3 2 BLOCKS IN ALBANY. Property-Owners of Linn County Metropolis Anxious to Im prove City's Appearanee. ALBANY, Or.. July 4. (Special.) Albany's first paved district, the work on which was completed Saturday night, In cludes First street from Washington to Lyon and Ferry. Broadalbln and Ells worth streets from First to Second streets, a total of seven blocks. This has helped the appearance of the business section of the city wonderfully, but Its greatest result was the arousing of public interest In ' paving and the work com pleted last night la but a beginning in Albany. Advertisements are now running calling for bids for the paving of a second dis trict of seven blocks, covering Second street from Washington to Lyon and Ferry, Broadalbln and Ellsworth streets from Second to Third streets. Work will begin on these streets within a few days. The Council has also ordered the paving of First street from Calapooia to Wash ington and also from Lyon to Montgo mery, Lyon street from First to Tenth and Ferry street from Third to Ninth and has begun the necessary legal procedure scene . or albany;s paved-steeet disteiot, CREW AT for the accomplishment of all of this work this Summer. This will make a total of S3 blocks this year. Thlf is probably all that will be ac complished in street paving here this year but with the big start thus made it is very probable that additional portions of Second. Broadalbln and Ellsworth streets and portions of Third, Washing ton and Baker streets will be paved next year. CATHOLICS BUILD RECTORY Splendid Structure Added to Group of Church Buildings In Albany. ALBANY, Or., July 4. (Special.) A magnificent rectory has been added to the list of splendid Catholic buildings In this city. The exterior of the building was completed this week and work is "pro gressing rapidly on the Interior. The Roman Catholic Church here Is one of the most beautiful In the state and with St. Mary's Hospital and the Academy of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, all of which are situated on grounds of unusual attractiveness, form one of the best groups of Catholic buildings on the Pacific Coast. Lying close to the Union Depot they attract considerable atten tion and admiration from visitors to this city. The new rectory Is situated at the cor ner of Ninth and Ellsworth, streets, on the same block with the church and academy and Is an Important addition to this group of beautiful buildings. It will soon be occupied by Rev. Farther Arthur Lane, rector of the local Catholic Church, who Is a grandson of Joseph Lane, Ore gon's first Governor and one of its first United States Senators, and a son of Lafayette Lane, one of the state's early Congressmen. He Is also a cousin of Harry Lane, ex-Mayor of Portland. POSTAL RECEIPTS GROW Albany 'Office Shows Healthful In crease In Business for Past Year. ALBANY, Or., July 4. (Special.) The receipts of the Albany postoffice for the past quarter show the customaa-y increase XS. A. Dalzell, President of the Klamath Falls Chamber of Com merce, Which Is Doing Great Work, e Preceding year and B've evidence of Albany s steady growth. The receipts JSTUfree months ending June 30 were 3911.32. as compared- with J3487.63 for the same quarter In 1908. The receipts during the month of June were H379.49 and in June 1908. they were $1105.63 . ; I WORK COMPLETING FIRST-STREET PAVEMEST. Ready Market for Factory Products. Farmers With Small Herds of Cows Make Money With Which to Improve Lands. TILLAMOOK, Or., July 4. Never before in the history of the dairying Industry In Tillamook County have the checks paid the dairymen for the month of May been so large as this year, whllell the cheese factories thus far report a large increase In the amount of cheese manufactured. Two years ago. in 1907. was the banner year for the highest prices everspaid for butter fat in this county, when It aver aged about 35 cents per pound, but from present indications, it will go above that amount for this year, also for the quan tity of cheese manufactured and the ex cellent quality of the cheese placed upon the market, for all the cheese turned out at the co-operative association's factories Is examined and passed upon by an expert Inspector before It leaves the factory, all first-grade cheese bearing his stamp. Every year marks a decided increase in the cheese manufactured In Tillamook County, which Is asumlng large propor tions and bringing considerable money Into the county. In proof of this, Carl Haberlach,. who is secretary for several of the co-operative associations and in dividual factories, handled cheese to the amount of $260,000 last year, while this year he will handle about $375,000 for cheese, and from present outlook, the out put of cheese from Tillamook County will amount to between $500,000 and $00, 000. One striking and pleasing feature are the returns Just compiled for the month of May, for they show that never before have dairymen received such high prices for butter fat for that month. And as an illustration of this, M. W. Harri son's check for May was JS54.77; E. and A. Marolf. $826.98, and Mrs. A. L. Don aldson, $758.36. Thirty-four of the dairy men received checks for May for over $300 each. There are several hundred dairymen Whose Cheeks flntniint tn katicn fwt -i $300, and quite a large number below that auiuunu inoi omy are .the large dairy men doincr waII but s,Hno. v, y. v. f , " ' viia mgu Price Which -nrevafla fn T-i I J . 1 County's famous cheese, which is at a .cmium on me marKet, dairymen with but a small amount of land cleared and with only a small herd of cows, are mak ing comfortable livings.

Geological Survey Shows All Mate rial, for Building Is Close at Hand. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. JuJv 4. The - - f D v n yji. xil Lies in Oregon and Washington has caused a great demand in these states for struc tural materials of all kinds, and although ounic ui uiese materials are locally abun dant and satisfactory, others have to be brought from great distances. Common bricks, which form the principal compo nents of most buildings, are made in the vicinity of all the cities, even within the city limits, and the supply of loam suit able for making these Is very great. Gravel and sand for concrete and sand for mortar are obtained in large quanti ties in the Immediate vicinity of the cit ies. Cement, however, which is so exten sively used in concrete, is produced at only one place In the two states, and mos' of that used Is brought from distant points, much of it being imported from England. Germany, Belgium and Japan. Building stones are hauled many miles, es pecially the kinds used for interior deco rations, most of which are shipped across the continent. High-class brick, terra cotta, lime, plaster and many other build. Ing materials used in this region are pro duced at distant places. Yet the cost of most supplies that are now brought from distant places can be reduced by utilizing the local resources of Washington and Oregon. Limestone is available in ample supply for cement manufacture; building stones, even to the finest marbles, exist In some of the moun tains; and extensive deposits of clay, sands and other building materials occur at many localities near the coast. An Investigation Intended mainly to as- just completed. Si Pays Interest on Savings and Time Deposits Cor. Second and Washington Sts. Portland, Oregon certain the local resources of the gravel, sand and crushed rock used In concrete In Portland, Seattle and Tacoma has re cently been made by N. H. Darton. of the Lnited States Geological Survey, and a report on the work, published by the Sur vey as Bulletin 3S7, is available for free distribution. Representative samples of the structural materials were obtained to be tested In the St. Louis laboratories of the Survey, and considerable attention was given to the occurrence of limestone suitable for the manufacture of cement, many localities being visited in that con nection. The demand for building materials In the Northwest Is well indicated by the fact that in 1908 building operations In Seattle Involved an expenditure of $11, 920.438 for labor and materials, and in 1907 an expenditure of $13,677,700. Tn Portland the amount in 1906 was $6,927,971, and In 1907 it increased to $9,446,9S2. Mr. Darton' s report also gives references to other sources of information In regard to building materials available tn the re gion treated. Applications for the report should be addressed to the Director of the Survey at Washington. D. C. COASTING TRADE IS HEAVY Nine Steamers Due In Portland From South In Next Two Days., During the next two days nine coasting steamers are due to arrive In Portland. Merchants' Exchange reports show that during Friday and Saturday that num ber of coasting vessels cleared from San Francisco for Portland. Wltli ordinary weather conditions tliey should arrivn nt Astoria during the next two days. Due to arrive during the period named are the steamers F. S. Loop, Asuncion Jim Butler. Argyll. Shoshone, Cascades, State of California, J. Marhoffer and Northland. Of this number all are steam schooners with the exception of the State of California, which is a regular passen ger packet in the service of the San Fran cisco & Portland Steamship Company. All will enter with cargo and, with the exception of ttie Argyll and Asuncion, will leave for California ports with general cargo and lumber. Breakwater Arrives From Coos Bay. With 80 passengers and a large quantity of general freight from Coos Bay ports, the steamship Breakwater. Captain ilac genn. arrived up yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The Breakwater mado a fast run up the coast and encountered only ordinary weather. The winds were mod erate and blew from the northwest. At this season of the year the prevailing winds are from that direction and there is usually a westerly swell. During the Summer months the northbound steamers make slow passages.

In its origin Protestantism the negation of authoritative Cathol icism, and the creation of a new type in America was a denial of authorita tive Protestantism. The right of pri vate judgment In the interpretation of the Scriptures means the right that "any. man of strong and as:s:reH.oiva mind, who sets his heart upon it, may nope to build up a church in which n will be recognized as the prophet and proriter. The private Judgment of countless- numbers are Put the highly distilled Drivate ludsmenta rr t ,,,k-. Calvin, John and Charles Wesley, White field and the other reformers. In the early days In America Roger Williams, John Cotton, John Davenport, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards enlivened the judgment, the "new lights- like wise; the Quakers anJ. Shakers helped some, and later on in the backwoods of Kentucky that great awakener. the Rev. Jim McGready. with the "fallings " "jerks." "barking," "the holy laugh!" "the power" and "treeing the devil," added pressure to the atmosphere and vigor to the soul. In Europe Protest antism was saved to the world by the exigencies of politics, but in America alone It must work out Its own destiny Early here conflicting religious theories brought home to the mind that while Protestantism was a "protest against religious despotism. It exercised a like despotism over those who came Into its midst." Toleration became Imperative sectarianism lost in intensity, general liberalization of thougnt grew apace; "nowhere did the revolution more dis turb tradition and vested privilege than in the domain of the relation of church and state."

Between 1830 and 1860 Protestantism split again and again from doctrine differences, lost from a decline of its religious authority and the liberalizing tendencies of the public schools. The one church which showed vigor, con sistency and growth was the Catholic, which in 1790 numbered not more than 30.000 adherents in the United States In 1830 claimed 600,000, and in 1860 4,500,000 and today about 11,000,000 communicants representing millions more while the parochial schools and col leges of that church are increasing yearly, Portland itself being the best evidence of this. The tendency of Protestantism today is best stated by Albert Bushnell Hart In "National Ideals Historically Traced," In the 27th volume of the "American Nation, a His tory," recently out of the press: The main influences against the religion or the old type are modern science and good conduct. The scientific world, and with It. unconsciously, the rest of the world, has accepted Darwin's theory of nat ural development, which Is at odds with the Garden of Eden, and denies the fall of man A surprising number of people, who make the best of neifthbors. send their chil dren Inside no church: and the Intimate knowledge of Scripture has already been lost by the rising generation. The old Prot estant theory was that the saved would be few; nowadays numerous good-natured men feel sure that there will be many, and that they are Included without the aid of any church. In city and country the ideal of church-going has declined. Conduct, how ever, has Improved; the average morals of the country Are probably higher than in the colonial times. In spite of the sewer of criminal news always leading men to crime. Toleration is absolute, church organization In general less strict than ever before. The religious condition of the land may be summed tip in a sentence: Doctrine has de cayed, but the appeal to character, to the ennoblement of the human soul, still con tinues and Is an active principle as It has ever been at any time In the history of the Ration. And this is no more than what The Oregonlan has said these many years. All the same Protestantism for the most part has evolved Into great ethical so cieties. Christianity as given the world by its founder Is found only In the Cath olic Church. JAMES HEMNESST MTJRPHT. But The Oregonlan cannot agree with this last remark. The Catholic Church is a development; It Is a mighty organiza tion evolved during the first eight or ten centuriesof our era. Nothing could be Bonds Investments CALL OR WRITE! T. S.
