OREGON NEWS NOTES
GF 6ENERALJNTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
LOGGING CAMPS ARE OPEN
Warm Weather Encourages Logger,
Market la Steadier..
Portland. With the disappearance
of the snow la the timber, logging
camp in the Columbia river district
are gradually resuming operations af
ter a shut down of more than a month.
This will be welcome new to some
millmen who in the past month have
run short on logs a a result of the
good demand for the sawed product.
Some mills, it is stated, will have to
close down for several weeks, unless
the logging camps come to their res
cue shortly.
The situation looks good to the log
gers for the market Is steadier than
at any time during the past two years
and prices are better, too. For the
present the ruling basis of quotation
is $7. $10 and 113, but it Is considered
possible that $1 will be added to this
price on February 15, when the dollar
advance per thousand goes into effect
on Puget sound. However, opinions
differ somewhat on this point among
the loggers here.
Water for Irrigation I Assured.
Baker. There is more snow In the
mountains of eastern Oregon at the
present time than for several years
past, and indications are that the
coming spring and summer will see
more water available for irrigation
and placer mining than there has been
for several years. The deepest snow
on the level reported from any of the
nearby territory is twelve feet at Ca
ble Sove In the Sumpter district, about
7000 feet above sea leveL At Sump
ter there is five feet on the level, at
Greenhorn and Bourne nine feet, and
about the same depth at Cornucopia,
in the northeast end of the county.
Farmers Resent Monopoly.
Pendleton. Warmly resenting the'
apparent operations of a grain bag
monopoly, which seems to be plan
ning a double priced holdup of the
grain growers of the northwest for
the coming summer, local fanners
through the county union of the Farm
ers' Co-operative and Educational Un
ion are planning to ask aid from the
legislature and from the national con
gress if necessary.
At this time the grain bag brokers
are asking 11 cents for bags for the
coming harvest. This price is regard
ed as outrageous by the farmers since
the Indian jute crop this year is re
ported as remarkably heavy. It Is
pointed out that the 11 cents per bag
quotation now given is prima facie
evidence that the supply of bags Is
monopolized. At this time last year
grain bags were quoted at 6 cents.
Large Apple Crop Assured.
Hood River. That Hood River val
ley will have a very large crop of ap
ples next year seems evident from the
results secured in the blooming of the
standard varieties. The Davidson
Fruit company has for many years
followed the plan of forced blooming
of the several varieties, which has
given it a concrete basis upon which
to base estimates of the annual yield
of apples in the valley.
The indoor orchard composed of a
large number of limbs taken from
fruit trees and bloomed by steam in
cubation, is now prophetic of what the
orchards will be later. The old Spit
zenberg trees show an extraordinarily
heavy crop. Jonathans are also very
heavy with bloom. Newtowns, Winter
Banana, Oregon Red, Black Twig, Red
Cheeks and Ortleys are also showing
a full crop for next season.
The estimate for next season's crop
is about 1,250,000 boxes.
Relief Boat Goes to Nehalem.
Portland. As a sort of relief boat
the gasoline schooner Mlrene, Captain
, Mays, left on a special trip to Nehal
em loaded to the guardB with provis
ions. For the last two or three weeks
Nehalem practically has been shut off
from the outside world so far as tran
sportation facilities are concerned.
The washouts and landslides put the
railroad out of commission temporari
ly. On the completion of the railway
the steamer service from Portland to
Nehalem was discontinued. Conse
quently the residents have been un
able to get in any supplies recently.
It is said the stores there have about
been depleted of various kinds of ne
cessities. Camps to be Electrified.
Marshfleld. Electrically operated
logging camps Is the plan of the Smith
Lumber company here. The company
is planing to electrify all Its plants Id
this county. In' addition to the work
that Is now being performed by don
key engines, each camp will be sup
plied with a new electrically operated
aawJor cutting trees.
