    VALLEY FARMERS.
Mvestoek and Dairying Indaatrloe OSes
Ta.m Oraat Oppor
tun Hire.
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
uailnv. after having made a full and
Careful inspaotion of the dairying and
took Industrie! of the Willamette val
ley, ia convinced that no other branches
of agriculture offer better opportunities
for the farmer to realize, with proper
affoit, handsome profit, fioiu hi labors
as do these. Willamette valley farm
era, Mr. Bailey says possess advantage
for the raising of thoroughbred stock,
not equaled anywhere in this legion,
Not on It are all the conditions for
growing this stock ideal, but a market
on the ranees ol Eastern Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, stands
read; to take all that is offered, and at
pries that leave no doubt as to the
profits.
"Within the past week," sava Mr,
Bauer, "there have been buyeia a
Portland for breeding stock who came
piepared to buy an unlimited number,
From $10 to (IS each was paid for
spring Iambs and at these figures less
than 100 could be had and the parties
will now be obliged to go East for the
balance of their stock.
"To show how much it costs to
raise these lambs, have only to tell
von that on a recent visit to one of the
valley farmers, I was Btiown a band of
100 Cotswold lambs that will average
in weight M0 pounds each. These
lambs were raised on grass on summer
fallow land which probably cost SO
cents an acre to sow. And as each and
everyone of these lambs is good for a
10 bill it will not take much of
mathematician to figure out theptorits.
"The same proposition holds good
in regard to Angora goats. I have on
my list many inauiriea for goats and
while five cents per pound is freely
offered, there are none to be hail.
"I want to tell vou light now,
continued Mr. Bailey, "that this valley
is destined to be the mohair center of
the world, for nowhere does tho Angora
coat thrive and put on that lustre of
mohair as in the hills of the U'illam
ette valley, and I am pleased to note
that increased interest is being taken
in these industrious animals. Within
the past 10 days a car load of pure
bred goats have been received in the
valley. These goats originated in
the distiict of Angora and are bred in
the purple. The valne of this ship-
merit to tin goat breeders of the North,
west cannot at this time bo estimated.
"If the farmers will only quit this
vicious habit of summer fallow and in
stead raise clover, rape and vetchis
upon which to pasture sheep, goats and
hogs, it will be the means ot raising
every mortgage on the farms within
our borders.
"The question of dairying is a ser
ious one. The dairymen were anxious
to have a law passed protecting theii
interests, but aie making no special
effoit to supply the demand for butter
and cheese that is sure to come this
winter. Already there is a shortage of
good dairy products, while within 35
miles of Portland, located on the line
of a railroad are to be seen two cream
eiies with the notice 'for sale or rent'
on each of them. These creameries
are situated where there is every pos
sible advantage for dairying, and upon
investigation I find that they were
not closed because the patrons did not
do well, but because one fellow thought
some other fellow was doing better or
making more than be should out of
the concern.
"Yee, there is as jet much to learn
but the farmers have learned one lea
son and that is that there is no money
in laising 15 bushels of wheat to the
acre and for which 45 to 60 cents is all
that can be had, and they are now giv
ing more Uiougbt and study along oth
er lines."
TRADE GAINS STRENGTH.
Heavy Eiparte af W heat Fewer Bull
Baas Failure Mvported.
Bradstreet'a says: The trade gath
sis strength as summer wanes. Reports
of expanding full demand arrive, ac
companied by very oheeiful advioea
as to the outlook in moat pints of the
country. In manufacturing lines pro
duction appears to lie at a miniinnm,
and the price situation retains most of
its old strength. iS'otuble in the mat
tor of added strength are most of the
cereals and iron and steel in many
forms. The Impetus jiivoii to wheat
prices by the government report last
week has been further reinforced by
less favorable crop advices from other
countries, notably India, and export
business ii repoited as somewhat improved.

PACIFIC COAST TRADE.
Sugar Factory Will Start.
Joseph Barton, manager of the Ore
gon Sugar Company, is making prelim
inary arrangements for starting a fac
tory for the seasons'a run. The factory
will start about the 15th of September.
About 100 men will be employed at
the factory, as the factory will have a
much larger run this season than last.
in fact tlieie is a certainty of having
mora than twice the amount of beets
to work. A great deal of labor will be
required in harvesting the beet crop,
which will commence within a very
short time. There will consequently
be a strong demand for labor in that
icinity during all tbe fall season.
Successful Biddars.
Koberts Bros., capitalists of Spokane,
ware successful bidders for tbe Daven
port water woiks bonds, tho firm offer
ing a premium of (1,000 for the issue
of (14,450. There were several other
bidders represented at the .council
meeting when the bids wore opened,
The first offers were all rejected as be
ing too low. New bids weie callod for
and Roberta Bros, secured the bonds.
Call for Bond Bids.
The treasurer of Baker connty has
issued a call for bids for the (15,000
bond issue to build a schoolhouse,
These bonds are to draw interest at the
rate of five per cent per annum, inter
est payable semi-annually, and the
bonds will be issued in denominations
of (1,000 each. They are payable in
30 years, or payable at pleasure of dis
trict In 10 years. All the bonds will
be sold together.
Vbtm Will Ba Paid.
The troubles of the Montana Power
Company of Butte are to be adjusted
at once and the woik of installing the
machinery at the big dam on the Big
Hole river will be pushed to comple
tion at an eaily date. A capitalist of
Butte has assumed tho indebtedness of
the concern, which amounted to (210,
000. Of this amount (185,000 repre
sented liens on tbe property and ma
chinery, and (85,000 of receiver's cer
tificates for repairs to the dam lust

Hons Not Damaged.
The hops in yards adjacent to Salem
wsie in no manner rlamaged by the
looent copious rain fall. All the grow
ers agiee that the rain has proved of
great benefit to the hops, comina at
quite the proper time. The success of
the year's crop is of great concern
financially to those engaged in the cul
ture thereof.

A STARTLING OBJECT LESSON.
How a Mexican Alcalde Learned Pom
of ttaa Illflicultlea of Kallroadln.
Tlie old soutnwestrn engineer wm
telling tales of by-goue days down In
Mexico and dwvlllug upou the Mexi
can's Ignorauce of railroading.
"Once, near Victoria," Bit Ut he, "we
iwere loaded heavily with Iron, and we
tilt the usual drunken Mexican asleep
on the track. Thorn folk used to tbluls
a roadbed better'n a wool mattress, it
was down grade and around a curve,
and we wore going at a fair clip, and,
though we had air brakes, we couldn't
bold up In time. Wo ground blm up,
aud at Victoria, ten miles further ou,
we didr.'t have any better souse thau to
rvport It. Of course, the tralu was side
tracked aud we were put In Jail. Next
day we were hauled up beforo the alcal
de. He was a little, dried up mau, with
manognuy skin aud snow-white mus
tache. It bristled fiercely, but 1 noticed
that' his eye twinkled a good deal and
I sorter cot timed to blm right away,
We told him that we couldu't stop the
train In the time allowed us, and It was
the truth. He said, through au Inter
preter, of course:
"I've heard all this before. Five of
my people have been killed by trains la
six mouths aud I have let tho tralu
crows go. They said they couldu't stop,
I in going to see about this. Your tralu
is on the sidetrack, coupled aud loaded.
We'll fire up and go buck to the place
whore you killed Vicente. We'll run
down at the same spred. When you
come near to the curve you must try
hard to stop. 1 will go Iu the cab with
you.
"Well, we fired up and went back
three miles beyond the death spot
Then we started forward again. Of
course It was not my busluess to run
too slowly. I wanted to show the
alcalde that stopping Iu the space de
scribed was au Impossibility. Old 03
was a quick englue. aud Inside of two
miles. It being a down grade, we were
doing a two-minute clip. We struck
the curve at forty miles an hour. The
alcalde bad never in his life been on a
,tralu, aud he was leaning out of the cab
winuow, waving uis Dig straw uat ami
shouting 'Viva! Viva!" As we sighted
the spot where Vicente had been pul
verized the airbrakes went on like the
clamp of death. 1 was thrown to the
floor of the cab myself. As for the
alcalde, he shot through the window
like a rocket, turned six somersaults
and lit on his back In the sand thirty
feet away. The train ground to a
standstill, yards beyond tbe blood
stained ties. He came limping up.
brushing the sand out of his white hair.
I remember that his mustache was all
bent down on one side. He looked up
at me and said simply, 'Valga me Dios!'
which is about equivalent to 'Dern my
buttons!" We went back to town; be
discharged us all and Invited us to din
ner with blm. We stayed and pulled
out that evening. Everybody ran pret
ty much on bis own schedule In them
times."

Whence Gutta Peroha Cornea.
The tree from which gutta percha Is
obtained grows In Borneo, and In oth-
pr Islands of the Indian Archipelago,
says the Philadelphia Times. It Is very
large, but the wood Is spongy, and of
ittle use as timber. The leaves grow
on long stalks, and are green above
and of a bright yellow beneath. Tbe
flowers are small and grow In pretty
tufts In the axils of the leaves, each
on a separate stalk or stem.
To obtain tbe gutta percha of com
merce, the finest trees are cut down.
and Incisions are made in the bark;
milky Juice exudes from the Incis
ions, and U reserved "by little troughs
made for that purpose. When the
Juice has hardened to a certain extent
It Is kneaded into cakes and exported.
The cakes are of a reddish brown col
or and are full of Irregular pores.
Before, however, the cakes are ready
for use they have to undergo some
preparation. They are first sliced into
very thin shavings and then placed
Iu a "tearing" machine, which re
volves in a trough of hot water. The
machines tears the shavings into
small pieces, and tbe hot water washes
them thoroughly. These pieces are
then made Into cakes and tbe cakes
are rolled several times between heat
ed cylinders to free them from any air
or water that they may contain, and
to make them uniform In texture.
Again they are rolled between heated
rollers and thus made Into sheets of
various thicknesses for use, or formed
into rods, water pipes or any other
shapes which may be desired.
Whale In Shrimp Net.
A small bottle-nosed whale 11 feet
long aud 0 feet In circumference has
been captured off the Essex coast, and
Is now to be seen on tbe beach at
Southend. It was surprised near the
shore by some local fishermen, who
managed to take It by tangling It up
In an old shrimp net
Its vitality was so great that It lived
for fifty hours after capture. The Idea
of tackling a ton of lively whale with
a shrimp net does not In the least Im
press Its captors, who, says our corre
spondent, "would go for a sea serpent
with a half Inch rope."

Fireworks Kvery Sunday.
In the old Brazilian town of liabla
fireworks form a part of the regular
Holiday ceremonies. The town baa n
numbcr of churches, and they fiercely
compete for patronage. First the
great deep-toned bells remind the
townspeople that Sunday is come.
Then the crash of fireworks reminds
them that their attendance at service
Is earnestly desired. So every Sunday
morning and evening witnesses a small
'Fourth of July celebration from an
American standpoint In the queer old
town of Bahla.
