DAILY EAST OliEGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1910. PAGE KXTKS. MOTOR CAR JUNKET TRIP A BIG SUCCESS Amazing Development of West, End Country All Favor Move (or County Publicity Bureau, t Ads. m EIGHT PAGES. 3 Wan and visit good The motor car wag Initiated found O. K. Pendleton made a fraternal to the towns of the west end. Those towns were found In shape and some of thorn growing so fast that It Is amazing. New homes are springing up every . 'where upon the Umatilla and the Furnlsh-Coe projects. Settlers are fast clearing away the sagebrush, leveling the ground and planting orchards or seeding to rye and alfalfa. The move for a county publicity bureau was discussed and copies of the petition for the election were left with prominent men for circulation In their respective communities. All say they favor the move. Members of the Pendleton party learned much regarding the present day conditions In the west end; clti sens of the west end country learned anew that Pendleton Is Interested In the growth and settlement of that big region. . It was an enthusiastic, cheering delegation of Pendletonians that went down to the west end on the new motor car Saturday. Even more enthusias tic was the crowd that returned or there were few who were, not abso lutely surprised, and pleasantly sur prised, by the evidences of develop ment they saw upon the trip. When the motor car left here at 9 o'clock Saturday morning It contain ed 92 representative business and pro fessional men of this city and four O. R & N. officials, T. F. O'Brien, Pen dleton agent. J. II. O'Neill. C. F. Van--dewater and R. Burns. On the west bound trip the car stopped for a mo ment at each of the towns. As the car pulled Into Echo those at the station were greeted with a yell some thing like this: E-c-h-o That's the way we spell it. Here's the way we yell It. ECHO! At Stanfield, Hermlston and Uma tilla the same sort of a demonstra tion was made, the name of each town being spelled out as the car came to a" stop. At Old Umatilla. At Umatllln, "Beaport" of Umatilla county and most historical town In eastern Oregon, the delegation was met at the train by Messrs. Swltzler, Dyer, Urownell and other residents of the place. Although no arrange ments had been made for a formal program a cordial welcome was ex tended th0 visitors and an hour was pleasantly passed in looking about the burg. Many of tho crowd walked down to the Columbia beach 'and while lined up "Where rolls the Ore gon" were photographed by W. S. Bowman, official photographer of the party. llorml.Hton, the Hustling. Hermlston. .lively metropolis of the Umatilla project, was reached Just at noon and a very appropriate welcome in the form of luncheon was awaiting. At the depot the Junketers , were greeted by Col. J. F. McNaught and a score of other boosters of the little city. The "official" luncheon was served at tho Hotel Hermlston and It was enjoyed by all who could be seat ed within the dining room of that hos pitable hostelry. The remainder of the party was accommodated at the hotel Oregon and at the restaurants. At the conclusion of the lunch tho visitors were shown about the city and those In the party who hud not been In close touch with affairs down there were more than surprised at the showing. For such a youthful town, Hermlston has made a remarkable growth and In the people, the stores, buildings and the town In general there Is an air cf "up-to-dateness" that Is refreshing. Over tho Project. After lunch had been eaten and the town inspected the members of tho party were made the guests of Stan field people and under the leader ship of Dr. H. W. Coe were taken up on a drive to the Cold Springs reser voir and thence to Stanfield. On the trip across the government proj ect the members of the deli-Ration had a fine opportunity to note the development -that is now under way. Everywhere the project Is be ing dotted with neat little homes, tho homes of the settlers. Every house 13 weatherbourded and painted and already there are many substantial bams upon the project. Another building of Interest is tne new school house near the . government townslte. It Is a structure of such size as to be creditable to on old settled and pros perous community. Few rural sec tions anywhere have better school ' houses. Practically all the settlers upon the project have some of their land now under cultivation, some of the more thrifty ones having splendid fields of alfalfa. New orchards ore to be seen everywhere. Taking Out Equipment. An interesting sight on the trip to tho reservoir was the little narrow gunge work train that was used In the construction of the big dam. The equipment of this train is now being taken out and a temporary track is being lnld for the purpose. As the train proceeds the track Is torn up and laid again In advance' of the train. Reservoir Well Filled. At this time the big reservoir Is more completely filled than ever be fore and the lake above the dam makes a splendid expanse of water. Most of the party arrived at the north ' bank of the dam and the business men walked across the top of the dam while their teams drove around be low the dam. Dr. H. W. Coo has a motor launch at the reservoir, but It was not In condition for uso at the time the party was there. The boat Is to be used In showing visitors about the reservoir and also for tak ing soundings by the government. The Furnlsh-Coe Project. The trip from the big reservoir to Stanfield was across the Furnlsh-Coe project which hau been colonized by Dr. H. W. Coe and the organization of which he has been the head. For those who had not visited this proj ect or had not done so for a year or two the showing was In the nature of a revelation. The terrain of the proj ect Is such as to make It easily adapt ed to Irrigation. For the most part the land is level and but little level ing work has been necessary. In Oils respect the Furnlsh-Coe project la favored over portions of the govern ment project. On the trip Into Stanfield the par ty passed through many tracts where splendid showings are being made. Scores of orchards have been set out and some of them are' of consider able size. Ono purchaser alone, a Portland physician, has set 160 acres out to apples. He has a splendid tract and In the view of Dr. H. W. Coe It will not be many years until he will reap big returns from his in vest ment. It is estimated that this orchard when it begins to bear will be worth $2500 per acre. ' Stanfiehl, tlie Stirring. It waa a fitting climax to a pleas ant and Instructive trip when the party arrived at Stanfield and were shown the sights of that bustling me tropolis of the Meadows and of the Furnish-Coe project. Stanfield, like Rome, has not been built In a day. But It has been built up to Its present size within a few months. Its size, too, Is significant Some fine business structures have already been erect ed and others are now under con struction. Men are now at work ex cavating for a substantial concrete building which is to be used for store purposes by Fred T. George. Stan field already has one of the most im proved bank buildings In Oregon and there are some other things, too, of which the people may well be proud. The most noticeable feature of the work at Stanfield Is its permanency. Almost everything that is being done Is being done well. No structures, save brick, stone or concrete, are al lowed on Coe avenue, the principal street, the walks on that thoroughfare are of concrete and the street Is to be macadamized. It Is a wide street and trees are to be planted down the cen ter of the avenue. During the stay in Stanfield the la dies of that city served punch and other refreshments and their hospi tality elicited many words of praise from those within the party. On to Echo. From Stanfield the short run to Echo was made and the "bunch" in vaded the streets, stores and shops of that place. No formal arrangements In the way of a reception had been planned by the Echoites, but the resi dents turned out to give a friendly handshake to the visitors and to in vite, them to "see the town." A half hour or more was passed In Echo. Motor Cur Won Out. Shortly after leaving Echo on the homeward Journey the motor car was helil by the block signal and it was discovered that No. 8, the eastbound through passenger had met with a mishap. The cylinder head had blown out and It had been necessary to summon a freight engine to take the train to Nolln. At Nolln the motor cur passed the disabled passenger and Tho First National Bank PENDLETON. OREGON Report of the Condition March 29, 1 9 1 0, to the Comptroller of the Currency : CONDENSED RESOURCES.
