NEW CANNERY IS STARTED BUILDING BEATS RECORD AIRS ASSUMED Progressive Clackamas Town Plans Many Improvements for New Year Molalla Kiver Diverted for Irrigation Purposes. CANBY, Or, Jan. 2. Canby' b prog ress for the year past is evident and Is most satisfactory. There is not a Ingle vacant bulldlngr. either residence or business place, and when a house is vacated it is eagerly snapped up by some one waiting for it. The new High School can be credited with a part of the Increase in population, as many families have moved In to avail themselves of the fine school facilities. It is the first high st-hool organized under the new school law in Clacka ms County, and bears the title of ITnion High School .No. 1. The at tendance has gained 30 per cent over last year. The Canby Cannery Company is com posed of local people, who have raised 96000 among themselves for the pur pose of building a fruit and vegetable cannery. A site has been secured, and Mr. Muller. representing the firm, who has contracted to erect the building and install the machinery, is here from Chicago, and work will soon commence on the buildings. The location is im mediately south of the Hurst ware house, on the Southern Pacific Com pany's industrial track here. Another Canby project well under way is the powerhouse and plant of the Molalla Power Company, located just south of. town' on the .Molalla River. The concrete headgates have been erected and most of the canal ex cavated, and the' foundations for the power house well under way; the large dynamo and other machinery Is here and with the completion of the power house the plant will soon be running. This plant will supply power and light to the towns of Canby, Barlow, Aurora and Hubbard. The Canby Canal Company's project of irrigating the farm lands surround ing Canby has been most successfully pursued during the past year, and a large amount of money expended, with sub stantial results accomplished. The supply canal at Meadowbrook was completed and a diverting dam built, whereby the flow of the Molalla River at that point, some 12 miles from Can by. is diverted to Woodcock and Milk Creek and other small streams, which eventually brings it to a point three miles from Canby at Adkins Mill; from this point to Canby the water for Irri gation purposes will be ditched and flumod and work on this will start -soon; The lands owned by the canal company are being rapidly sold and the resulting population is a clear gain to the town. The Canby waterworks system, now owned by O. R. Mack, is being taken otr by M. J. Lee and will be enlarged and Are service mains installed. CEDAR VALLEY FOLD GLAD Kailroact Surveying Crews, Working In Midwinter, Ktart Rumors. LYLE. Wash., Jan. 2. (Special.) "Surveying railroads in midwinter in Cedar Valley is making settlers happy. The strenuous movements of 36 men bucking snow knee deep reminded one of old army days In the Cumberland Mountains, where weather conditions cut no figure emergency orders had to be obeyed." Thus spoke "Major" Henry G. Yule, an old soldier and homesteader. An engineer informed him the Top penish, tfimcoe & Western Railway would have cars running into Cedar Valley next Summer. The postmaster of ' Cedar Valley is confident there are two different railway companies repre sented on Tepee Creek. The 'identity of one company in the field is surmised to be the Milwaukee. MEDFORD PLANS BUILDINGS Over -200. 000 in Construction Con tracts Already lt for 1810 Work. MEWOHD, OR.. Jan. 2. (Special.) The year 1909 has an excellent record here as a year of building, but 1910 will probably exceed it. Contracts are al ready made for the erection of three modern business blocks. rr. F. C. Page, of this city, will build a three-story building, which will be used as a hotel and theater. A con tract will soon be let for a modern five-story building for offices and etore rooms. Work has already started on the foundations of two buildings, one for J. F. Reddy. to be a hotel, and the Kplscopal block and stone church, to be finished by June 1. The cost of these buildings will be ; 200,000. LARGE ORCHARDS PLANTED Polk County Farmers Become Inter ested In Apples and Nuts. INDEPENDENCE, Or.. Jan. 2. (Spe . cial.l Fruit land values have shown a marked improvement during the past few months. Many orchards are being planted. Most of them are small tracts which are being set to apples. Larger tracts are being put out to walnuts. Foster and Lounds. three miles north of this city, are preparing 360 acres to be put out to walnuts. Among Import ant transfers recently made is the sale of 30 acres adjoining town, through Charles K. Hicks to I U Goodwin, of Hood River, for orchard purposes. The consideration was $3000. ' THOMSON T(T AID SALEM Seattle Kngtneer Will Probably Su pervise Building of Water System. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.) Mayor George F. Rodgers has Just re turned from Seattle, where he went for a conference with Municipal Engineer Thomson, whom it is hoped to engage as consulting engineer in the building of Salem's mountain water system. Mr. Thomson could not say definitely whether he would be able to come to Salem until after his return from the East, about January 10. It is believed, however, that he will make arrange ments to take charge of the work here. i- r -if . y 1 i. 4 v - -fc-L WOODWARD BUILDING, JUST COMPLETED. v mtut i NEW RESIDENCE CITY'S CALL HEARD Newport Is Popular Summer Resort. TOWN GREATLY IMPROVED Better Hotels Are Krected,- Ilgbt Plant Installed, New School Htnifce Built and Streets Tut In Fine Shape. " NEWPORT, Or., Jan 2. (Special.) The past year has been the most notable for the little marine city since her discovery by Peter Abbey. Her natural beauty, whose charm has been her chieC resource, remains unchanged. No factories have marred the waterfront, no emoke ha fouled the air, population has increased and better traveling facilities and elec tric lights were demanded and granted. Five miles of city streets have benn opened or improved. The increase in school children demanded a larger school and more advanced teaching. A separate school building for manual training was provided. A city water works system, costing $30,000 was started. A railroad site around the bay was surveyed and the road promised. Two new hotels were promised, one having been bought which used to care for people in' Yaquina. when San Francisco steamers ran here, and which, owing to Its size, has been the cause of much wonder to persons visiting the bay. All the improvements1 were demanded by the Increase of visitors and by those who have joined the city's roll of citizens. Any of these when questioned will say they came to enjoy the salt air scenery and delightful, healthful climate. The absence of the jarring notes of a city, the crowded cars and congested thorough fares has stimulated their temperaments and quieted their nerves. The citizens of Newport represent peo ple gathered from various parts of the country who drifted in and joined the big family that welcomed them with simple grace and sincere friendship. Ease and comfort are sought m preference to rush ing turmoil during business hours, and the time set aside for pleasure is ample to assure a good time. Royal A. Bensell, the Mayor, Is an old Inhabitant. The City Council composed of Messers leese, Jacob son. Stoker, Irvin, Martin, Beech and Olson realise that Kewport is primarily and at all times a resort for tourists, and insist on such improvements as will tend to make their visits comfortable. Should the coming year advance the city in comparison with the past 12 months, Newport in due time will outclass all coast resorts in the Pa cific Northwest. FRUITGROWERS GROW FAST Walla Walla Valley Destined to At traet Many Orchardists. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 2. (Special.) In a recent interview Fruit Inspector C. L. Whitney , said the fruit growing industry is growing with leaps and bounds in the Walla Walla Valley and that five years from now more than five times as many orchards will be found in this section. It is through Whit ney's efforts that several lecturers are to be brought here the latter part of Jan uary to give local fruit-growers instruc tions as to how to obtain the best results. Topics dealt with will be extensive and cover the entire industry from the plant ing of the tree and its care to the pack ing of the fruit. The T. M. C. A. has been secured as a place to hold the meetings, which will resemble a school to a certain extent Mr. Whitney is now corresponding with fruit-growers and experts in Hood River, North Yakima and in other parts, ar ranging for dates when they may be se cured to visit this city. He further an nounced that more than 150,000 trees are being set out at the present t'me. J. W. Langdon. on. ol Walla. Walla's 2 rZl- , lit -M T "t v'sv;... .. Pfu,t OF W. jL. HART. . most enterprising business men Is now planting an orchard consisting of 100 acres near the city, while he will soon put an additional 800 acres' of the famous Blalock orchards in apples. The Walla Walla Fruit and Vegetable Union, which was recently organized, is meeting with much success and most of the stock has been subscribed. One or two fruit-growers happened to be in Milton. Or., three weeks ago when the Milton Fruit-Growers' Association was in session and after listening to the re ports of the wonderful success that as sociation met with last year, ' decided Walla Walla should have such an or ganization. The Walla Walla Union was the result. The Union has already gone on record as favoring a uniform stencil or trade mark and the name of the valley is to appear on each box, paper lining of each box and on each paper in which apples are wrapped. The object of the organ isation is to put up better goods and se cure better prices. BUILDING RECORD MADE WAJLLiA WALLA HAS KEMAKK ABLE GROWTH IN 1909. Permits Bring In lSe venue of Over $550,000 to' City, an Increase of More Tlian- 29 Per Cent. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Jan. 2. (Special.) Nearly 700 new buildings have been erected within the corporate limits of this city during the past 12 months, according to the report of Building In spector Metz. The report does not com mence to show the building activity, however, as many ot the houses that have been built within the past year were constructed in some of the additions surrounding the city. In many instances this is done to dodge the increased taxes of the city. Building permits for the past' year reached the grand total of $551,790, an increase of tlUS.OOO over last year, a per centage Increase of 29 per cent. The number of building permits issued is 130 per cent larger this year than last, there being 680 in 1909 as compared with 289 in 1908. Fifteen business houses have been erected and 125 dwellings, while many others have been improved. The average cost of the homes is about 3000 while many were built at an ex pense of $6000, and very few less than $2000. Work is to be started the first of next month on a new $126,000 hotel, and the Hotel Dacres is to be remodeled. This work was held back on account of tha local option election. FRUITMEN FIGHT FROSTS Orchardists or Ijewiston Valley Will Use Smudge-Pots. LEWISTOX, Idaho, Jan. 2. Special.) The fruitgrowers of the Lewiston Clarkston Valley Will purchase smudge pots and other equipment neces sary to protect their crops from damage by the late frosts. This deci sion was reached some time ago, but the details have not been worked out. In order that the experience of other sections might guide the actions of the Lewiston-Clarkston growers, a committee composed of R. C. Beach, of Lewlston, and C. H. McNary, of Clark ston, visited a number of the Colorado fruit districts where smudge-pots have been used successfully for a number of years. The report of their investiga tions was made to the industrial com mittee of the Commercial Club yes terday. A meeting of the industrial commit tee will be held Monday, at which time a date for a general institute of Lewiston-Clarkston growers will be set. The plans provide for bringing one of the Colorado growers here as well as the horticulturists from the Washing ton State College and the experimental station of the"- University of Idaho. In the report made to the industrial committee, Mr. Beach suggests that approximately $250,000 can be saved to the Lewiston-Clarkston country by the use of the smudge-pots or heaters, and it is expected their-use will be -extended to all sections of Central and East ern Washington, where frequent dam age by late frosts are sustained. '.V Jj Improvement in Character of Homes and Better Architecture Are Noteworthy Features. 1910 Is Promising. '' EUGENE, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) The Eugene Register makes its issue this morning a review of the year 1909.. .Particularly does it form a re liable hand book of the progress, in the past 12 months, of Eugene and Lane Cour.ty. i The assertion of the Register that more than $1,000,000 went into the con struction of buildings in Eugene in 1909 is conservative. In estimating the money spent on building that has not been reported by the building inspector. I some items have been omitted that would swell the figures given. Thou j sands have been spent on small Im- fiiuvciuciiu) nidL nave iiui ucev icpui iu to the inspector at all. The Register makes a total of $1,003,240 as the amount spent in the year Just closed. New Hotel to Cosf $125,000. Among the Important building enter prises taken up by the people of Eugene in 1909, the new Osborn Hotel, now in course of construction, and to be com pleted by April, 1910, is the one in volving the largest expenditure. This fine building will cost $100,000, and its furnishings $25,000. It covers a quarter orf a block and is modern in every par ticular. Eugene people feel that from an advertisingtandpoint the new hotel will be one of "the best enterprises that the new year will see realized. The hotel is being built by local capital. Next in importance in amount of the investment is the new Y. M. C. A. building, soon to be completed on Wil lamette street, between Tenth and Eleventh. This will cost $50,000. The money was raised in a week by the citizens of Eugene, under the leader ship of George Kelly, manager of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. The money required for this im portant civic 'undertaking was given without condition by hundreds of Eu gene's citizens. The construction of two new grade schools in the year just closed repre sents an expenditure of $50,000 and an I increase of 12 teachers. The new build ings will hardly accommodate the pub lic school pupils for the Fall term if I the increase in attendance is as great in proportion as it was at the open- . . LI 1 IUC lOOL J ill 1 I It: I 111, Home Building Is Feature. More and better buildings in the business section were completed In 1909 than in any previous three years. The prospects for 1910, however, are even better. But the building feature that has been the wonder, even to those who live here and have seen its progress, is the construction of new homes in every part of the city. It has been largely the building of homes not houses alone that has marked the active work. outside the business dis trict for the past year. Much improve ment has been made In the style of architecture, as well as in those fea tures that make houses modern in ar rangement and of long life on account of good materials and workmanship. Eugene people regard their homes as their first asset, their schools a close second. The growth of Eugene 1n the past year will probably be remembered by many more distinctly that the growth assured for the year 1910, because the year may Be said fairly to mark the change In Eugene from a good "town" to a growing city. The changes that will compel Eugepe to become a city will from now on be taken more a3 a matter of course. The actual prog ress, material and otherwise, that has marked the year will be exceeded by the one just beginning. The country is developing, too. Thus far splendid fruit and farm lands are to be had at reasonable prices. ALBANY. HAS NEW RECORD Postoffice Receipts Show Uniform Increase Throughout Entire Year. (ALBANY, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) The total receipts of the Albany post office for 1909 were $16,830.81. This is a gain of. $1918.42 over . last year, the 1908 receipts having been $14, 912.39.

The total office receipts for December, 1909. were $2276.84. BANDON PLANKS STREETS - Wharves Are Extended, and Many Business Blocks Are Planned. ' BANDON, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) A huge street-improvement campaign is on in Bandon. Two streets, Pacific avenue and Little street, are being planked and wharves built to deep water mark on the Coquille River. The widening of Atwater street, one of the main thoroughfares of the city, will be gin at once. Another much needed im provement is that of Spruce street, which has recently been rocked and graveled until it Is as substantial as a macadamized road. The street improvements are not the only advancements, there being more building going on now than at any time in the history of the city. Busi ness is good in all lines. ASTER SEED PROFITABLE G. S. Crego Realizes Returns of $2 150 on Acre of Flowers. M'MINXVILLE, Or.. Jan. 1. Spe ciaL) The success of the experiment of a local gardener in growing aster seed commercially the past season was proven when the crop was threshed this week, and the grpss profits were reckoned at $2150 from one acre of land Pays Interest on Savings and Time Deposits Cor. Second and Washington Sts. Portland, Oregon devoted to the flower garden. G. S. Crego, formerly of Chicago, the orig inator of the Crego aster, had the seed grown here under contract. Mr. Crego was here at the threshing, and carried away with him seed, which, at the cur rent price, would yield the sum of $1500. Seed of another variety of aster is estimated to be worth $500 more. Besides this there were cut flowers sold from the acre of asters to the I value of $150 during the Summer, I which, with the heavy thinning of the ; plants, lessened the production of seeds. ; Mr. Crego. while visiting the Lewis and i Clark Exposition in 1905. was attracted by the magnificent Crego asters sent there by a McMInnville florist. He has since became a resident of the state, and chose the soil here as the kind best suited to the production of the seed of the strain of flowers that bear his name, the local florist sharing in the glory of assisting to produce the first crop. IS MERCHANTS REPORT THVUSTJAIj LY LARGE BUSI1VESS IX 1909. Streets of City Being Rapidly Im proved In Pine Paving a nil - Iron Mains In Sewers. MONTESANO, Wash., Jan. Z. (Special.)- The year Just closed has been one of much importance to Montesano. All the merchants and business men report a larger volume of business than in any preceding year. There has been but one business failure, that of the Mantesano Planing Mill Company, which went into the hands of a re ceiver about a month ago. During' the year contracts have been let for the paving with brick six blocks of the streets in the business section, and for as many blocks of concrete sidewalks, which work is now prac tically completed, at a cost of nearly $50,000. There were also otherwise im proved about 25 blocks of outlylngH streets at a cost of about $15,000. The contract was let and work started for a three-story stone Court house, to cost complete $150,000, and to be completed within one year from the commencement of work. - Several business blocks were erected or improved during 1909, and also about 100 dwelling--houses from a $10,000 house to a small cottage were erected, and at the present time there is prac tically no empty houses to be had in the city. fc Several large realty deals were closed, most of them being for farm property in and around this city. The city was successful in a suit against the Montesano Light & Water Company, compelling It to lay iron pipes for its mains instead of wooden In streets when permanent improve ments were made. Plans are now being made for carry ing forward the municipal improve ments started in 1909 and for several new buildings to replace old ones. FINE AUTO ROAD PROPOSED Boulevard Along North Bank of Co lumbia Bridge to Cost $13,000. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 2. (Spe cial.) The construction of a new steel bridge, to cost about $13,000, across the Washougal River between Camas and Washougal, and the macadamizing of the county road east from the rock quarry at Fishers, eight miles up the Columbia, .to the western terminus of the new state road built from Washou gal east to the county line, is what the towns of Camas and Washougal are working for and expect to get through the County Board. "When this bridge is built," said C. M. Keep, of Washougal, "and this piece of road completed, the county will have a magnificent boulevard up the north bank of the Columbia from "Vancouver to the eastern boundary line of Clark County. The autoists have helped fix the- road from Vancouver to Fishers, and it is expected that they will aid In the proposed Improvements." LUMBER MILLS COMBINE Construction Soon to Start on New Plant of 50,000 Capacity. ASOTIN", Wash., Jan. 2. The Blue Mountain Lumber & Manufacturing Company will begin soon the construc tion of a new mill which will be the con solidation of the two other mills of the company. The mill proposed will be larger than the two old mills and will have a capacity of over 50,000 feet daily. The second mill at Cloverland .will still continue to exist and will be operated the same as in previous years. The new mill will be located in the heart of the best yellow pine timber fn Southwestern Washington. Logging is now in full blast In the Blue Mountains, as the large amount of snow renders such work easy. The company will lay in the largest amount of logs in the history of the company, preparatory to a busy season In 1910. THE DESCHUTES RIVER The Reason of the Evenness of Its Great Water Flow. PORTLAND, Jan. 2. (To the kEd ltor.) In Engineer Stevens' instructive article in The New Year's Oregonian on the steady and wonderful flow of water power in the.

He thinks that the Deschutes possesses this quality of uniformity to a greater de gree than any stream of its size in America. Mr. Stevens accounts for it because of the volcanic soil of disin tegrated scoria the froth of molten rbclc of early geologic times and that this porous lava is now pumice soil, which absorbs water like a sponge and allows it to filter gradually into the river bed. Doubtless this is true to an extent, yet are there not other causes? The Deschutes flows along the foot of the high Cascade Range of mountains dur ing its entire length along by Hood and Jefferson and the Three Sisters and Snow Butte and Diamond Peak, and heading in Mount Theilsen a continu ous mountain range of snow fall that gradually melts in Summer and feeds' the numerous streams which empty into the Deschutes, and supplies its innum erable subterranean springs which find their outlet even In the very depths of the long canyon of its swit water course flow. The rains of Winter, and the melting snows of Summer give its uniformity of flow of gigantic power, estimated, as he says, to be four times that of Niagara Falls. This remarkable Lriver. its hnndred miles of scenic gorge entrance -way lor an unde veloped, railroadless, fertile country, naturally tributary to the City of Port land, larger than the entire state of Indiana, and along which the North Bank and the Harriman lines are build ing extensions . of the great Columbia River water-grade roads, is now at tracting the attention of the world, and well It may. M. C. GEORGE. GOOD INCOME IN 35 ACRES Olaf Erlckson Clears $1926 on Dairying and Vegetable-Growing. ASTORIA, Jan. 2. (Special.) Tha experience of Olaf Erlckson, a rancher in the Lewis and Clark River district, shows what profits can be Obtained from dairying and vegetable raising on Clatsop County farms, when modern methods are adopted and some atten tion is given to improving the herds by introducing blooded stock. Mr. Erlckson has 35 acres of land under cultivation and In use as pas ture. Still he keeps a herd of 17 milch cows, and during the year 1909 his receipts from the sale of butter, vege tables and dairy by-products, asid from the amounts used by his own family, were $1926.97.

GRANTS PASS, Or., Jan. 2. The mining- industry of this section la re ceiving a great deal of attention, and many deals are being put througrh that are of passing importance financially and otherwise. The latest transaction to take effect is the sale of the old Channel, Reed, Ankeny and Knicker bocker mines, which are known as the "Big Four,' in the Gal ice mining dis trict. All are hydraulic placers. It is understood that a corporation capitalized at $3,000,000 and headed by F. J, Jackson, of Cleveland, O., is back of the deal.
