INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
PORTLAND R08E FESTIVAL.
All Sections of Stale Will Be Repre
sented at Qrand Fiesta.
Portland" If the coming Rose Fes
tival Is not the greatest success we
have ever had, It will not be because
of lack of Interest on the part of resi
dent of the Willamette valley and
Southern Oregon towns," said Ralph
W. Hoyt, of tha Rose Festival com
mittee. Mr. Hoyt ha just returned with a
party of business men who went on the
southern trip, and I enthusiastic over
the great amount of Interest in the
Rose Festival he found In the towns be
visited.
"Indications are that the attendance
this yesr will be enormous, and far be
yond that of former year," said Mr.
HnyL "Officials of all the towns we
visited promised they would see to it
that their towns are represented by
float or vehicles In the parades, and
at leaat by large delegations of cltl
tcna. "The commercial bodies of the varl
oua towns all promised to make all
possible effort to meet Eastern visitors
at the Festival and Invito them to
their towns. Everybody seems to un
derstand that the Festival Is as much
an advertising feature fur the country
at large as it is a show. I think the
Festival this year will be the means of
Inducing great numbers of desirable
Eastern people to settle in the state."
TOO MUCH FOR LIGHTS.
Experiments With Meter Shows Big
Saving Over Flat Rata.
SalemRcginning Juno 1, the state
of Oregon will buy electricity for all
state institutions by meter instead of
on a flat rate aa at present, which, it
is believed will mean s saving to the
state of from $3,000 to $5,000. As an
experiment about year ago meters
were installed and a result the
change will be made at once.
During 11 months, beginning June
1, 1909, and ending April 30, 1910, the
state paid the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company $12,048.31 at a
flat rate for light which would have
been at meter rates ;$9.838.05, or s
ssving of $2,210.26. No effort was
made to conserve the power for light
under the flat rate, while every uper
intendent of the state institutions un
der the meter system will be instructed
not to burn light not absolutely need
ed, so Governor Benson and the new
chief clerk, H. H. Corey, believe the
ssving will reach nearly $5,000 a year.
The state also pay $123 per month,
flat for power otherwise than that util
ised for lights, or during the 11 months
mentioned a total of $1,853. Under
the meter rates the bill for power
would have been, for the same period,
$429.
Crop Prospects Not Dimmed.
Pendleton Still another, week has
gone by without in any way dimming
the prospect of Umatilla county farm
ers for a record-breaking grain crop.
Warm weather ha prevailed during
the greater part of the week and one
r iwn d.uuI ahnwera have been Inter
spersed to further aid Ue growing
grain. Both fall . and spring sown
grain ia now well up out of the ground
and the fields present beautiful ap
pearance with their verdant clothing.
The early spring season has never
shown such favorable indications for a
bumper crop, and their predictions are
having a decided effect upon the busi
ness of tho city.
Lsnd Tsken Off Msrket.
Hood River Tho Davidson Fruit
company, which owns several acre of
valuable orchards, haa taken its hold
ings off tho market for this season.
The company will have a large lot of
apples and in view of the fact that
fruit will be very scarce In other sec
tions this season and that the crop will
be extra large here the company feels
justified in retaining thia year's crop
and reaping the profits before dispos
ing of it holding.
Barries Ripe at Umatilla.
Umatilla The first strawberries of
tho season were put on the market here
early last week and came from the Me
Farlnnd and Edwards ranches. The
berries are a good sixe and much more
luscious than the California fruit
Cherries arc now beginning to ripen
and will bo put on the market soon.
New School at Creswell.
Crcswoll By vote of 57 to 9 the
Creswell school district authorised the
ssunnce of bonds for $10,000, the pro
heeds to he used In erecting s school
bouse. The plan to remodel the old
building had a few supporters st first,
fut they dropped tho proposition and
favored erecting a new building.
Or Find Drws Miners.
Myrtle Creek Excltemont among
miners has been caused by recent
find four miles above Canyonville,
whero a wide dike of 6re, carrying
chalcopyrlte yielding $14 to $26 to the
ton, ha boon discovered. Seventeen
locations wero made and several more
will be made Immediately.
Drilling for Artesian Water.
Stanfiold The well on Jesse Moore's
place hns reached s depth of 800 feet.
An effort Is being made to reach a
depth of 1,000 feet where artesian
water Is said to be obtainable. Water
stands within a few feet of the top of
the hole, and drilling progresses slowly.
ST. HELENS, OREGON, FKIDAY.
RAINS SPELL BIO CROPS.
Oregon Farmers 8 Healthy Har
vests Ahesd; Stockmen Profit.
Mudrss The increased demand for
flour at this place haa. caused the Mad
ras flouring mill to put on s night
force, the mill running each night un
til 10 p. m.
The railroad construction In thia vl
cinly with the large number of new
resident in the town and homeseekers
locating in this" section have caused
prices for all kinds of produce to go
soaring.
Prospects for large crops were never
better, and the farmer in this section
should reap a rich harvest, because of
the rapid increase of population.
A heavy rain, general throughout
the greater portion of Central Oregon,
fell during three days this week, and
it means thousands of dollars to the
farmers and stock raisers.
The Dalles Farmer throughout
Wasco county have about finished sum
mer fallowing, and some of them are
still sowing spring grain. Owing to
the heavy rains the first of the week,
which wet the ground thoroughly,
good many farmers have concluded to
seed to spring crops a considerable
number of acre which they bad plowed
for summer fallow. They say there
ia sufficient moisture to mske a good
spring crop if the summer season is st
sll favorable.
CHINESE BUYS CLAIMS.
Grants Pass Mining District Looks
Good Moy Jin Munn.
Grants Pass Moy Jin Munn, a
wealthy Chinaman of San Francisco,
who haa been looking over the South
ern Oregon mining field for the past
two or three week, haa just closed a
deal whereby he becomes owner and
manager of the Brantner group of
placer mines of Southern Josephine
county. The group of claims consists
of 100 acres, much of which is very
rich diggings. The consideration is
$175,000. Unlike other Chinese who
have mined in this section, Moy Jin
Munn is not contented with sluice
washing and rocking. He will install
modem hydraulic equipment on the
Brantner mines, and by a system of
high line ditches, bring water from the
Applegate river for the operation of a
battery of two or more giants.
Moy Jin Munn ia an experienced
placer miner and made his fortune in
the digging of Feather river, CaL
Drill for Oil in Coquille.
Marshfield The Niocene Oil Gas
company has been organized to drill
for oil in the Coquille valley. The
company is composed of men living in
that part of the county. L. W. Deyoe

in the company. The company has se
cured oil leases on about 6,000 acres of
land in Bear creek district Machinery
has been ordered and the work will
start soon. Oil men have secured land
options, but no drilling has been done.
Cannery at Sutherlin.
Sutherlin The erection and opera
tion of a canning plant in Sutherlin is

EARTHQUAKE RUINS CITY.
Hundreds Killed st Cartago, Costa
Rica Bodies Being Recovered.
Sen Jose, Costs Rica, May 7. The
earthquake that laid waste the town
of Cartago occurred at 6 :60 o'clock
Wednesdsy night snd continued about
18 seconds. In thst brief time the
buildings of the place collapsed, bury
ing hundreds. The dead were first es
timated at 600, but it is believed to
night that the fatalities were much
greater.
Four hundred bodies were recovered
today.
Following 'the shock twilight was
turned into dsrkness of midnight by
clouds of dust that rose from the
ruins. Panic ensued and the cries of
the injured and fleeing nurvivors filled
the sir.
Cooler heads went to the telegraph
office to summon help, only to find the
operators dead, lines down and traffic
impaired on the reailroad.
As soon as the new reached San
Jose, President Gonzales Vieques, ac
companied by President-elect Richard
Jimines andd many doctors and nurses,
started on a special train to aid the
survivors. Upon the president's ar
rival at Cartago, martial law was pro
claimed. Provisions, medicines and
clothing were dispatched from here.
Throughout the day special trains ar
rived here, bringing the wounded.
Hundreds of survivors were camped
outside the ruined city awaiting trans
portation to other points. They are
being fed at public expense. Seven
oar loads of provisions have been dis
patched from here and Alajuela.
The beautiful peace palace, the gift
of Andrew Carnegie, erected at a cost
of $100,000, wss converted into a pile
of debris. Other public buildings met
the ssme fate.
Many students at the college of the
Silestan Fathers were killed.
The tremors continue tonight and the
terror of the people increases. The
fear of further shocks haa extended to
the neighboring towns.
Only the early hour of the evening
at which the disaster occurred pre
vented a much greater loss of life. At
the time many people were in the open.
So far no deaths have been reported
among the American colony.
The disaster waa not preceded by
any activity of the volcano Poas or of
other volcanic vents. The shock was
felt throughout Costa Rica and in parts
of Nicaragua. Great fissures opened
at many places in the volcanic zone.
The ministers of Mexico and of Cen
tral American countries have asked
their governments to contribute to the
aid of their sister republic. Several
prominent Spanish-Americans are
among the dead. These include the
wife of Dr. Becanegra, the Guatema
lan magistrate to the Central Ameri
can arbitration court, and Senor Trejos.

Makes Rescue Against Odds.
Globe, Aril., May 7 Drunken JApa

ben, four miles East of Globe, last
night in quest of Maben, who had

Maben is now in the, territorial insane
asylum and only his wife and 16-year-old
daughter were at the ranch.
Eugene Barrows, a prospector, res
cued Mrs. Maben and her daughter af
ter thrilling encounter.
Using hi weapon as a club, Barrows
fought his way through the Indiana,
who numbered half a dozen. The last
one attacked him with a knife and
Barrows broke the revolver over his
head.
Barrows and the women succeeded
in reaching the Sixty-Six ranch, half
mile away, and came into Globe this
morning.
Big Soap Factory Burns.
Kansas City, Mo., May 7 The plant
of the Peet Bros. Manufacturing com
pany, one of the largest soap and gly
cerine factories in the southwest was
destroyed by fire tonight entailing a
loss estimated at $1,600,000. The
flames for a time threatened the plants
of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
Packing company, and the American
Dressed Beef company. Energetic
work on the part of the firemen pre
vented serious damage to the Schwars
child plant when the south wall of the
Peet plant fell upon it .
