Advance Ideas and method are being more generally known and used each year and the results are. that the pro ducer is marketing a product that fully meets the requirments of the most ex acting consumer. Oregon as a whole offers better inducements to scientific orchardists than any other state in the union and as a fruit producing country can not be excelled. ' Benton county's river bottoms have peach soil the equal of any in Oregon, according to Prof. C. I. Lewis. Six hundred dollars an acre for peaches on the trees ought to tempt some one to go in for peach culture. North Wales, Pa., to Have Big gest of Greenhouses. FOR AMERICAN BEAUTIES ONLY Good School For Alseans 33 (Continued from .page one ) Corvallis Has the Best Water Portland Street Railways and Hotels Crowed to Limit All Time now. (Continued! from page one ) "From the business done by the city line of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., I am led to believe that more strangers have visited Oregon during the summer than have gone to Seattle to visit the ex position. During the first 16 days of this month the city lines alone have carried 3,542,050 passengers, an increase of 22.2 per cent over the same period of the corresponding month in 1908," said B. S. Josselyn, presi ; dent of the company, this morn' ing. According to President, Josse lyn, the down town cars of the : city lines carried 221.000 passen gers every day duing the first 16 days of the present month. During the present summer it has been necessary for the com pany to run five and six observa tion cars, three trips a day, for the accommodation of those tourists who desired to see the sights of the city from the trolley line. Last year it was only nec essary to run the observation cars occssionally and then two ears a "day were used. This great influx of visitors to the city is shown by the condi tion of the hotels of city, as well as by the street car records. Every hotel in town is crowded from day to day and in practi cally all of them it is impossible to secure a room unless reserva tion has been made several days ahead. Those who come .with out reservations have to take chances and wait their turn. "In ray opinion there have been five times as many visitors - to Portland already this summer as came to the Lewis & Clark exposition," said one hotel man this morning. "It would seem thst every person who visited the exposition in 1905 has re turned home and told five friends of the wonders of Oregon These ttve inenas m each case seem to have come to see the beauties of Oregon this sum . mer. "If this ratio keeps up for the coming year, Portland will certainly hold the record for transient visitors. And the good part of it is that I have not seen one single visitor who has not been enthusiastic ' over J 1 1 -1 1-1 1, 1J me ueauues ana wie puasiuiiraes of the country.

ItenpUibllnK a railroad train shed more than ft greenhouse, a monster Htrueturo of glass and iron tubing is being ' erected at North Wales, Pa., which wueu completed will cover, an expanse of almost two acres and will bo the largest greeDhouse in the world. It will stand beside another green house of somewhat smaller dimensions. which at present holds the world's record for size among such structures. Both these greenhouses will be devote ed solely to growing American Beauty roses, one of the costliest of flowers. Impressed by the demand among wealthy society people for roses of the most expensive nature, several New York florists a -few years ago began the cultivation of American Beauty roses on a fifty-fonr acre tract on the western outskirts of North Wales. These roses at the height of the social season, from Christmas . until after Easter, are sold at $6 to $18 a dozen. A single plant under the hothouse forc ing process produces about a .half doz en first class blooms .in a season. One florist concluded that, instead of following the old time plan of having a number of gTeenhouses of ordinary size, a great saving in the. matter of the cost of material and of the subse quent beating-of the building could be effected by erecting one. large struc ture. : ; Seven Hundred Feet Long. ... But, owing to the frail character of the construction, builders shook their heads when it was proposed to put up a greenhouse 150 feet broad and al most four times that long. Finally a daring contractor was induced to un dertake the work. So successful was the outcome that the projectors of the enterprise are now about to outdo themselves by building a still larger greenhouse. The one that has been in use for two years is 32 feet high at the center, 150 feet wide, 425 feet long on one side and 575 feet on the other, the Irregular shape' having been adopt ed to afford a wide southern exposure The new structure will be of the same height and width as the older one, but will be 700 feet long. In the greenhouses there will be space for about luu.uw rose mis nes. The present building contains 45,000, arranged "on beds, . or "benches," as florists call them, which if placed in a continuous row would be two and The life of the. forced hothouse ..rose plant. is bat a year. Plants are grown from cut tings planted early; in the year. By Christmas time they begin to produce the magnificent long stemmed: "and durable blooms that are the delight of the society belle and the devastation of the society youth's pocketbook. The plants grow to great height and are suonorted by being tied to wires stretched through the greenhouse. . Thousands of Panes of Glass Needed. The task of building the greenheuse is an intricate process. Immense scaf folding, somewhat resembling the seats in a circus tent, is reared, and perched upon this the workmen place the iron framework and the panes of glass in position. For the older greenhouse al most 50,000 panes of glass were need ed, and five freight cars were required spacious, the class rooms being 28x34 feet. Several weeks ago the three Alsea districts voted to consoli date and this fine new building is the result. There are about 125 pupils to be served there and the Alseans feel that their children are entitled to just as good as any other children have. That none of the youngsters may be inconvenienced during inclement weather, the patrons voted a 1J mill tax, or about $1300, for use in transporting pupils to and from their homes. The Alseans are thoroughly alive and it would be well if larger communities had some of the spirit manifested over there. In a short time they expect to add to the new building and institute a high school course there. It will be recalled that the Alseans are now engaged in building one of the very best roads in this county. They have taxed them selves heavily to build over the mountains and are doing a fine piece of work. The people of Alsea are to be congratulated on their spirit and on the coming of this fine new school building." It is something, of which they may well feel proud. .-- .-- -. ; .. - : I . jLsa -J DR.

McLandburgh Wilson in New York Sun.- TO LIFE it No little excitement was occa sioned in the Harmory neighbor hood, southwest of town, last week, by the sudden disappear ing of Fred Moritz, a young man about; 27 years of age, and the three days' search for him that followed. The young man's ab sence was "first noticed on Thurs day afternoon, and when he fail ed to appear his family became alarmed and an active search was instituted. ' All the neighbors volunteered in the hunt until a small army of forty or fifty per sons were engaged in looking for the missing man. No clue to his whereabouts was discovered and no reason for his strange absence could be given; he had simply vanished. The search being unsuccessful the blood hounds from Portland were call ed again into play but aside from making one or two trips to the barn their efforts were not con sidered. As the barn had been repeatedly examined but little attention was given to this lead, After a search of two days and three nights Ernest Wiebold and Joe Hayes decided that the miss ing man must be in Che barn and a third investigation on Sunday morning followed. Climbing to the top" of the hay in the mow they squeezed down between the hay and the up-right post, using a pitchfork for a prod. The fork at last struck something substantial, and on looking for the substance found it to be the man's boots and the man him self so firmly burrowed in the hay that only his legs could be felt. They appeared cold, and as no sign of life was manifest and he refused to speak when called it was the fixed opinion that he was dead. According Dr. Gil- strap, authority on such matters, was sent for, and in case his verdict supported th e opinion Justice Churchman was taken along to act as cornor and dis cover the cause of such strange behavior. The. doctor was given the right of way up the ladder to the bed chamber of the recent deceased, and was just ready: to pronounce the death sentence when the dead man. suddenly came to, life, and with pitchfork in hand confronted the doctor and mutely inquired the whyf ore of such intrusion. , The appari tion of a. dead man waltzing around with a pitchfork at the top of a hay mow was too lively scene for the active imagina tion of the doctor to grasp, and the rapidity with which he de- cended the ladder is said to have caused sufficient friction to set the hay on fire. The doctor al- eges this is all a mistake, and that it was through his super human power that the dead was made to arise; that Justice Churchman was disappointed at not holding an inquest and is now kicking himself because he wasn't given the first chance at the. corpse. " . The explanation given for the strange hiding of the young man is that- a few years ago he suf- fured an attack of sunstroke that left him mentally unbalanc ed. Since then he has always evaded strangers, and learning that his father was about to en tertain company for a few days it is supposed he took this means of keeping out of sight. -When found Sunday he was completely hidden as though he had been packed in a bale of hay, and so weakened was he from lack of j nourishment that he had to be supported to the house.
