Friueville business men were
given an exceptional treat at the
Commercial Club rooms last
week. The address by C. L.
Mosier of the Oregon Si Western
Colonization Company, who is con
sidered the beet commercial club
specialist in America, and who
will have charge of the immense
advertising campaign of the com
pany with which he is now con
nected, was listened to with marked
attention.
Mr. Mosier stated that the prob
lems which confronted a town of
the size and importance of PKne
ville, are of the same general char
acter as those that are to be met
with in cities as large as St. Paul,
where he is secretary of what is
per naps one pi the largest com
mercial bodies in the world.
Mr. Mosier said in part: ' We
have been all over the valleys
surrounding your little city and
and some of them several times
and we find a most peculiar con
dition. No two sections of land
that we have seen thus far are of
exactly the same value, and no
rigid classification of conditions is
to be found so far as we can yet
see. There are about 100,000 acreB
that -are and should rightly be
tributary to your town, and these
lands are surrounded by a wall of
mountains. All the business
comes to you down mil and all
beyond these bounds belong to
someone else and they are already
spoken for. The thing for Prine
ville to do is to take care of what
it has and develop its own territory
There is in this territory that is
rightfully conceded to you one of
the best propositions from an agri
cultural view that l have ever
seen, and I have helped sell large
tracts of land in all parts of the
United States, Canada and Mexico,
Canada has not and never has
had an agricultural proposition
that n-nnlr hpt vn-
j -
that is saying considerable.
Enumerating the agricultural
possibilties of the district I find
that you raise as good pears here,
for example, as you can find any
where, and by proper protection
from frosts I know that this crop
can tie and will be mads a com
mercial success. I find tbst a
Chinaman has set a pace right in
the city limits here that would do
credit to any farmer of the vicinity
to follow. He raised a fine quality
of cIery in abundance, and from
hat' I know of this crop it is
easily worth ten times as much as
as any alfalfa crop. I have a
millionaire friend 'who raised an
average of 11000 worth of celery
to the acre on eleven acres this
aet year. Over in the Bitter Root
Valley, when we first went in there
with the Northern Pacific, every
body raised potatoes, and they
soon became cheaper than dirt,
for the potatoes had no selling
value and the dirt there is woth
good price.
These people appealed to the
Northern Pacific people for help
toonarket these potatoes, and it
was quite a problem as the quantity !
was so great. Today the Northern
acific trains all serve these par
ticular potatoes on their dining
cars, and they are the best in the
world, and the same potatoes,
carefully and cleanly packed in
apple boxes sell to the best family
trade and restaurants in St. Paul
readily at $1.20 a box. This is the
result of properly advertising a
good article. These are a few of
the great variety of opportunities
that are yours.
Cheap lands are a thing of the
past. The homestead lands in
United States are practically all
eone. ine market condition is
there is a strong demand
for land and good land such as
you have here, and, the land for
sale, is very much less than the
demand. Ibis will create a con
stantly higher price, and because
of the fertility of the land and the
climate conditions here, the price
for a lone time to come will be
justified.
This hunger for land is felt all
over the eastern part of the United
States, and people by the hundreds
of thousands are after and deter
mined to get western lands. The
Seattle exposition was one of the
finest things that ever happened to
the west, and it was the start of
the immigration to the west
The tide which has been going
to Montana for the past several
months will turn to Oregoa la
short time.
As for our lands here, we have
the best colonization proposition I
have ever seen, and I am sure that
it will be one of the easiest large
tracts settled that has ever been
handled by a large concern like
ours. The men who have charge
of these Unas nave soiu inure uuu
than anyone else in the world, and
the transfer of the 800,000 acres to
these men was more than four
times larger than any other in-
DRY FARMING
EXHIBITS
Tillman Reuter Getting
Ready for Fall.
NEW POTATOES NEXT WEEK
Exhibits WU1 Be Sent to Spo
kane, Chicago and 1
Salem.
Tillman Reuter and the Prine
viile Commercial Club are to lake
a prominent , part in putting
Central Oregon on the map in a
good substantial fashion during the
fall months.
Mr. Reuter, who is a member of
the Dry Farming Congress, is tak
ing snap judgement on the fair
business, and is preparing his
crops especially for the exhibits
that he expects to make. His ex
perience with different fairs has ,
taught him that a good article will,
when properly shown, be a credit
to the community and a' good ad
vertisement and investment for the
man that grew it. He is prepar-
ng a large list of exhibits, and
will take the best products grown
from the following 0 varieties, all of
which h now has growing on his
lands seven and a hall miles north
of Lamonta: Wheat, seven va
rieties, mostly from winter and
spring sowing; Daney, seven va
rieties, including several beardless
barleys and the Manchurian barley;
oats, fourteen different varieties,
including the red oats introduced
by J. F. Cadle which took the first
prize at Billings last year, and
many other good hardy grains;
corn in flint, white and yellow
dentin twenty-four distinct varie-'
ties; besides the Giant Red Fodder
corn which is making a remarkable
growth. ha will have other fodder
plants, sugar cane is growing
well on Mr. Reuter's place, and he
says that his exhibits will be better
than ever before.
Besides the grains there are
thirty-four different varieties of
potatoes, well classified and
properly graded and selected for
the greatest possible results in this
climate and country.
Mr. Reuter had his first meal of
new potatoes on June 2, and on
his visit last Saturday brought a
half bushel of them to friends here.
He will have an abundance for the
marxet in about two weeks.
From the best that is grown
from the crops aboye mentioned,
and others of less importance Mr.
Reuter will send a representation
