JACKSONVILLE, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 24, 1910
Reports from the immigration officials
of the railroads are to the effect that
this travel will be heavy and that a
large number of new citizens will
reach Oregon this year. People of the
state should make special efforts to
welcome the newcomers and make
them feel at home in their new
environment. Help should be given
in helping them find suitable locations.
Oregon people have a distinct duty to
perform in giving aid and comfort to
the homeseeker who will be with us in
large numbers this fall. •
Chehalis, Washington, is doing some
good work in advancing new methods
of burning out stumps on logged off
lands. The citizens Club of Chehalis
recently held demonstrations of the
char pit method of burning stumps
and the tests were very successful.
It is thought the general adoption of
this means of clearing cutover lands
will be of great value to the Pacific
Northwest.
