It is intrrnting to note that in
Die nwnt edition of the "Rod
Book," the iiunUwr of Portland
capitalist possessing MOttyXX) or
more U given t wventy-four. The
fifuren, while in exces of many
other cities as large ami even larger
than Portland, are not astonish
ing, for it has long heen a recoi-nii-ed
fact that the city on the Will
amette was the home of many
men of accumulated fortunes.
Neither is it extraordinary that
practically all of this immense
wealth has been amassed ill the
city itself and its immediate vi
cinity. Portland has grown rapid
ly and so has the adjacent terri
tory surrounding it, and the ad
vancement of one has aided the
other with the resultant accumula
tion of fortunes.
No business man, thoroughly
familiar w ith Portland's business
history of the past twenty years,
would doubt that statement lie
cause he has seen the tributary
districts, as they slowly developed,
increase the trade revenues of the
city itself. He has seen Portland
capital build up neighboring ter
ritory; watdied its development
as a railroad struck its center and
Doted with no little astonishment
the greatly increased traffic which
accured to Portland's benefit.
But the observer in the past has
nerer been compelled to stretch
his vision while watching the
steady increase of Portland's busi
ness. The investments made fur
the benefit of the city's life and
trade have been confined to one ex
clusive section near at home, and
the vast e xjunseof territory lying
east and south of the metrojiolis,
with manifold resources to be de
veloped, and with possibilities far
in excess of any in the vicinity of
Portland, has waited patiently as
it watched the rapid development
and growth of those favored dis
tricts of closer range.
'Then why," the olwerver will
ask, "does Central Oregon with its
business and wealth of trade re
main so long neglected, when it is
a recognized fact, as ehown by
these other examples that develop
ment of this interior country can
not fail to add to Portland's great
ness." And the answer is in the
negative. Two and two arc four,
but it seems difficult for Portland's
financiers to realize that the same
numbers can be added together
twice. At leaft it has been so in the
past, but it is to be hoped that the
future will witness a great advance
in the city's mathematical under
standing. Perhaps in the course
of the next few years Interior Ore
gon will be tapped by a railroad
under the supervision of the bnsi
uess men of that city who appre
ciate the fact that their own com
merce will 1 extended and their
wealth increased in pursuing the
same course of action in this direc
tion as has characterized their
moves for increased trade in dis
tricts closer at home. Then when
the "lied Hook" is published again
the title may read, "The names of
those possessing 1 1 ,000.000 or
more."
EXTRA.
IMiAKK WANTS TO SKI, I.
Pilot Untie IK'velopment Company
Tired of Its Irrigation Scheme
in Des-lmtes Vallev.
A MOVE
FOR A'PACKlNli
HOl'SK.
The recommendations made by
Crook County Cattlemen's Associa
tion in favor of a packing house in
Portland are to be held as signifi
cant. The move is indicativx of
efforts being made to establish a
market for the interior leeves at
closer range to the supply, anil
that in itself is sufficient to
justify every attempt to bring this
new industry to a successful com
pletion. It is gratifying, too, to know
that the cattlemen of this county
are alive to the fact that the Pacif
ic coast is in need of a paekinc
hou-e which will assure them a
steady and reliable market for
their stix-k. Oregon has long been
in need of such an industry. In
terior Oregon would profit by it,
Portland would In- financially
benefited, "and the whole state
would del its influence and suc
cess. It is to lie hoped that the en
thusiasm which the Cattlemen's
association has aioused in the
matter among the stockmen of the
count v will not come to an un
timely end before something ili
finite h.ts Wen divided Uin.
Everyone recognizes the fact that
Portland is slow in taking up a
matter of this kind, and it falls
therefore to the lot of Central Ore
gon stock growers to urge and in
sist, with an unimpeachable array
of facts, figures and statistics, un
til either an affirmative or nega
tive answer results.
Back in the western part of Kan
sas the residents are complaining.
For reason of which it seems the
corn crop was a trifle shy, that the
supply of cinch-bugs during the
past season was somewhat in ex
cess of demaiiil, that a poor quali
ty of winter sorghum was shipgied
into that section of the country,
that the hog cholera skipjicd a
generation this summer and took
off all the pigkins instead, that
"sockless Jerry" has stuniieil that
part of the state and instilled a
strong (iUpoMtioii toward populism,
and that three consecutive cy
clones have visited the district re
cently and erased most of the
frame and brick elevations from
several of the towns. .Shades of
Carrie Nation, still alive! Poor
bleeding Kansas has cause to reg
ister a kick as she has done so
often in the past, for it is painful
ly evident th.it the backbone of
her troubles is not yet afflicted
with "niagiTinis."
Oregon's lack of interest in ir
rigation nhrmes is prohibly due
to the fact that the slate has been
soaked ton many times of late.
It has been known for some
months past that A. M. lrake, the
president of the Pilot P.titte IV
velopnieiil company, was negotia
ting for the sale of the company's
segregation and lit holdings on the
Pcschutcs river to other parties,
hut it was not until a few days ago
that the Journal received any au
thentic information in regard to
the matter.
Negotiations for the sale of the
proerty liogan as early as last
spring when Mr. Drake made a
trip to Portland to see the parties
in interest. After several days,
during which the project was
thoroughly discussed, an offer was
made to him of $;t"i,000. Tn
thousand oILthis was to be pa'.d in
cash ami the balance in time pay
ment. The deal bad practically
been closed, it is said, when Mr.
Drake decided that the amount to
he paid down was not sufficient, so
the sale was declared off.
Some time later, it is stated, the
newly organized Oregon Irrigation
company with a capitalization of
$.",000,000 offered the president of
the Pilot lUittu lVvelopment Com
pany the sum of $ 125,1)00 on the
provision that the irrigation com
pany could sell its bonds. Whether
they failed in their undertaking or
whether for smile other cause
the Journal is not in a position to
state, but these negotiations were
also put on tite shelf.
Ill the meantime the president
of the Pilot Iluttc company has
been making an effort to unload
his proio.-ition onto other parties,
and the negotiations at present
which the Journal is in u pt-ilion
to state are now going on will prob
ably resu It in the land segregation
of the Pilot Butte Development
Company being turned over into
other hands for irrigation. Mr.
Drake at present is in Portland
where, it is said, he has Uvn ne
gotiating with parlies to whom he
wishes to sell for some time. Word
has come to The Journal that he
has refused an offer made him by
a Seattle linn.
Mr, Drake, fearing that his
year's time would In.- up before lie
had the amount of work done re
quired by the government in its
contracts with him, has iil.-o :ikril
an influential resident of this
county to intercede for him Wore
the State Land Hoard and have
his time extended, i nt it is not
probable , that the gi nlleuian in
question will do this or that the
Hoard will grant the request if
made.
The hind to be irrigated, which
at present is being held up pend
ing the result of the negotiations,
lies in an irregular shape for a
distance of twenty miles alouq the
east side of the Deschutes river.
Much of it, in fact practically all
of it, is broken up with lava ridges
and barren tracts which will make
it a difficult proposition IcMiandle.
It is saiil that these fcaturcK vyill
ligure largely in the matter
of selling the segregation as the
rocky condition of almost all of
the land adjacent to the appropri
ation will gieatjv retard the early
reclamation of the tract besides
necessitating arrtolditiimal expense
in ennstriictingvanuls which would
not be met with if the Intel were
eomi'oscd of geml soil and the land
presented an even and unbroken
surface.
