MADRAS. Or., Sept. 2 8. A trip to
the railroad camps between Trout
Creek and Madras, that portion not In
conflict with the Oregon , Trunk,
shows that construction work' is pro
gressing steadily, although It seems
somewhat slowly lo the residents of
that section who are yet on tbe
"anxious" seat on railroad matters.
Twohy Dwyer have three camps In
the vicinity of Porter Spring canyon,
10 miles north of Madras, and are
making preparations to establish two
more camps, one seven miles from
this place and tbe other three miles
from town at what Is called the
"divide," where there is a stretch of
heavy work, a cut of about 35 feet
being necessary at this place to make
a uniform grade.
' In Porter Springs canyon Contrac

work where there are deep cuta,
mostly rock work, while at another
point In the canyon a heavy fill is al
most completed, which in places Is
over 10 feet high and about a quarter
of a mile long. Mr. Dwyer says he
needs drivers badly, and has a lot of
teams "eating their beads off" be
cause he has not men to take them
out on the road. He says there

Portland Journal. A rnofcmffcl Is
on that directs attention to western
Oregon farm lands. It is Illustrated
in sales near Roseburg In the past
few days. A farm of 314 acres was
sold to a Kansas buyer for MO.O'tu.
Another of 10 acres went to a Vir
ginia man for a large consideration,
but the price has not been made pub
lic. A third of 320 acres was
bought by the Overland Fruit and
Development Company, of Boston,
Mass.. for 135,000. The latter tract
is to be set to apples and pears, and
its purchase was made after looking
over fruit areas in the state of
Washington. The prices In all cases
are at figures far above those which
have been current in the state.
That there Is a movement In
which western Oregon farm lands
are to generally go at higher figures
seems confirmed by sales like the
above in other parts of the section.
The tremerd .us advance in the .Med
ford fruit district and at Hood River
are a part of the story. Prune lands
in the vicinity of N'ewberg and in
Marion county are held and not In
frequently change hands at 1300 per
acre. In other counties lands have
recently changed bands at prices that
a few years ago would have been con
sidered extraordinary, if not impossi
ble. The explanation of the movement
seems to be the wide Interest
throughout the Eastern states In fruit
culture In Oregon. The fame of
Oregon apples and pears, and the
extraordinary prices realized from
them has moved men of means to re
flection. The magazines everywhere
have devoted large attention to ex
oloitation of the orchards by descrip
tive articles and profuse illustrations.
In the articles are frequently embod
ied fascinating tales of profits made,
and of the great advance in land
values in such places as Medford and
Hood River. Pears bringing as hUh
as IS a box. apples running at t3.
ind fruit orchards changing hands at
Ji.owo and even J3.000 an acre fire
he Eastern Imagination and Daint
dreams of easy wealth. Perhaps they
are exaggerated, but their effct is
that In all parts of the East there
are men who are looking westward
with a view of orcharding In Oregon.
and here and there one of them Is
acquiring a farm at prices above the
usual with a view of settlne It to
apples and pears.
What portion will fall and what
succeed, and bow far the movement
111 go In stimulating land values
is a problem for the future. The
meteorological and soil condi'ions
are most favorable for success, but
apple and pear growing Is not an
accident. Skill, expert knowledge
and Industry must be applied or
there will be failure. If all these
are conscientiously invoked, success
is certain, and upon the number of
those who succeed will depend bow
far the upward movement of the
land prices will go.

Realizing the advantage of an as
sured future timber supply, a num
ber of railroads are adding to their
forest holdings and managing their
forest properties for the production
of a sustained yield of cross-ties for
their own roads.
The success and economy of pre
servative treatment now make it pos
sible to use for cross-ties woods that
are cheaper and more abundant than
the woods of longer life. Hy their
recent purchases of tracts of loblolly
pine the railroads are showing their
appreciation of this fact.
The practice of forestry by the
railroads Is especially significant, in
that it includes, In addition to con
servative management, the commer
cial utilization of timbers of lower
grade. In a number of caes plant
ing is done, also with a view to tie
production, though such planting is
