SYNDICATE OF INVESTORS Chicago Capitalists Send Agent to look Over Location for Colony, lie Is Astonished at the Pro ductiveness of the Soil. PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 6. (Special.) Two hundred new families are to be located In the territory tributary to Pen dleton within the next three years to take up intensified and diversified farming on tracts. Such is the promise of a group of Chicago investors and capitalists who have had an agent in this territory for several days Investigating the resources of Umatilla County. The representative of the Chicago syndicate is F. E. Sladdon who has been spending some time in the Spokane. Walla Walla and Milton dis tricts before coming to Pendleton. Be fore leaving yesterday for Baker Cify Mr. Sladdon announced that he favored the Pendleton district and Umatilla County above all districts he has inspected. Willie here he inspected the Furnish ditch and Government project, then visited the Hlnkle ditch and Butter Creek territory. The promoters of the new enterprise are Clever Brothers, of Chicago, former Pendleton business men, and while they were able to give their agent consider able Information about this territory, still Mr. Sladdon admitted he was given a number of surprises, particularly In dry farming. Satisfied With I mat Ilia. He believes Umatilla County to be the place the syndicate is seeking. He was astonished at the products on the Page & Kyle ranch, which had been started as an experlement, and was surprised at the great yields of alfalfa and fruits on Butter Creek and in the vicinity of Echo. He found that the ranches of Joe Cuhna, O. D. Teal, Fred Andrews, and others In that neighborhood with alfalfa fields only six or seven years old had actually cut this year three crops averaging 10 to 12 tons to the acre. He found the same results on the ranches of Sheridan Brothers", William Howard's and others on Lower Butter Creek. He also found the few orchards In that vicinity with trees loaded with fruit, including peaches which were thought to have been killed by the frosts oi last Spring. Astonished at Products. He learned that a few farmers had sold their alfalfa In the field at JG a ton while others were holding to feed their sheep. He saw also a few farmers in that section who were reaping rich return on alfalfa-fed hogs which are selling at 8 cents on the foot and the buyers are glad to go to the ranches after them. All of this will be embodied in his re port to his syndicate. "I had expected something of the kind," said Mr. Sladdon, "but nothing like what I found. I was particularly surprised at the success of dry farming. Near Chi rago we have reduced truck gardening and such things to a positive science but we had the water. "Yes we shall send out fully 200 families within the next three years to take up small tracts. They cannot all get away the first year you know, nor the second, owing to winding up -their business, but It Is our Intention to have all of that number here within three years. And If the report is accepted I think Uma tilla County will get them all." TALK OPEN RIVER READY FOR IXDt.STlUAIi FAIK Agriculture Main' Failure at Grays Harbor Exhibition. HOQUIAM, Wash., Oct. 5.

He held the office of editor-ln-chlef of the Oregon Weekly during his senior year, and won the Beekman oratorical prize at hie graduation. In 1904 Mr. Gilbert entered Colum bia University, New York, and took up special studies in economics and politi cal economy.

When a customer enters any of the other stores and in J quires: "Do you keep the Pianola?" the salesman is in honor bound to reply: "No, we do nbt." Of course, there is no law to prevent his adding: "We j keep the Piano Player, which we claim is just as f good," etc. But ordinary commercial fairness demands that he shall not permit the customer to buy some other piano player under the mistaken impression that it is the genuine Pianola. We learn that there are some stores that are not so scrupu lous as they should bp in observing this principle. Consequently we are compelled to advertise over and over again: Farmers Complain That tho Kate Charged by Old-ume Concerns Is Excessive. ' SALEM, Or., Oct- 6 (Special.) The successful launching of the Horticul tural Mutual Insurance Association, with headquarters in this city, is a demonstration that mutual concerns can be formed and operated here as a means of relief from the rates charged by the old-line companies. The Horti cultural Mutual was organized by the prunegrowers of the Rosedale com munity, but farmers of all kinds and business men generally participated In the movement. The association was formed by the prunegrowers because the old-line companies either refused to insure prune evaporators at all or charged prohibitive rates. The business of the new concern was not .limited to evap orators, however, but farm buildings and city property risks are written as well. Though it began writing policies only one month ago, the Horticultural Mutual now had 373 policies outstand ing, with risks amounting to $450,000. A much larger amount of business has been signed and policies will be Issued In the near future. The risks already written Include 100 prunedryers. With the season almost closed, only one loss has been sustained, that being $300 on the s. P. Kimball dryer at Dallas. The plan of the Horticultural Mutual is to take the rates of the old-line companies as a basis for computing mutual rates. The mutual assessments will be 30 per cent of the old-line rates and not more than three assessments can be made in a year, so that the rates cannot exceed 90 per cent of the old-line rates. It is expected that not more than two assessments will be necessary, making the cost 60 per cent of the old-line rates. One of the rules or tne Mutual Is tnat Insurance must not exceed two-thirds the value of the property, thus requiring the owner to carry part of the risk, making him more careful and guarding against tires started for the purpose of get ting the Insurance. wnne tne Mutual does not limit its operations to any particular part of the state, its business will quite nat urally De connnea mostly to this im mediate section or the state. The mutual will spend little on agents and solicitors, but depend upon low rates to get the business. The organizers of this association believe that similar concerns can De established in other parts or tne state, and can be made successful if managed conservatively Astoria Marine News. ASTORIA, Or., Oot. S. (Special.) The official measurement of the gasoline launch Adeline was completed by Deputy Collector Anderson today.
