OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1905.
COLONY IS FORMED.
New Settlement To Be Established in
Clackamas.
1960 Acres of Rich Land Purchased
for Accommodation of a Swedish
Colony.
Carlsberg will be the name of a new
Swedish settlement in Clackamas
County, about 16 miles southeast ot
Oregon City and about ten miles from
Estacada, says the Oregonian. Rev.
C. J. Renhard, pastor of the Swedish
Lutheran Church, of this city, ie the
originator of the colonization scheme,
and he has been quietly at work for
the past several weeks organizing the
Oregon Swedish Colonization Com
pany, with the result that 1960 acres
of land have been purchased and arti
cles of incorporation will be filed in a
few days. While the Swedes of this
city are taking a lively interest in the
project, a large percentage of the set'
tiers will come out from the states of
the East and the Middle West.
Rev. Mr. Renhard has been in Port
land only about a year, having been
called here from St. Louis, Mo., but he
"has already become convinced that
Oregon offers unparalleled opportuni
ties for homeseekers, and so without
delay took up the matter of bringing
a good and progressive lot of people
here. Friday night a meeting was
held and a goodly portion of the capi
tal stock, which for a starter has been
placed at $25,000, was taken up. In
asmuch as the settlers will lose no-
time in getting improvements under
way, considerable capital will be ex
pended by the colonists in the begin
ning, but the promoter says it will not
be long before the great waste of land
now only furnishing feed for a few
head of cattle will be turned into veri
table garden spots. He ' points to
Powell's Valley as an example of what
thrift and close application will pro
duce, and he says most of the land
there was brought into cultivation by
Swedish settlers.
"Oregon offers . splendid induce
ments to homeseekers," said Rev. Mr.
Renhard in explaining his reason for
, having taken up the work of estab
lishing the colony. "I have been here
hardly a year, but have seen enough to
satisfy me that conditions are most ex
cellent and the outlook most promis
ing. Alfred Lundgren, who will probr
ably be the first to settle down at
Carlsberg, came here from Manitoba
and was surprised when Tie learned at'
what prices land could be secured.
Mr. Lundgren has returned to Manito
ba to dispose of his farm there and to
close out his affairs preparatory to
making a permanent home in Clacka
mas County. And he promised to
bring a number of others with him.
The land purchased by us is nicely lo
cated on Canyon Creek, and being a
rich red loam, is excellently adapted
fpr garden truck and fruits, which I
.presume will have" thS SJost attention,
as the intention is to bring the glund
to the hierhest state of cultivation. i
"The land is drained by Canyon I
Creek, and an irrigation ditch, airtaay
constructed, will provide against dan
ger during unusually dry seasons. At
present this ditch irrigates about 500
acres of land, and its capacity will be
increased so as to bring every acre
within the possibility of cultivation
with comparative safety.
"While railroad facilities are not the
best at present, a good wagon road j
leads to Oregon City, and it will not
be long before a track will be brought
into the district, the Oregon Water
Power, Company's line being within
ten miles at Estacada. To me it ap
pears that to the lack of railroad facil
ities only can be attributed the fact
that this land has not been placed
under the plow long ago. Some of it
has been cleared off; other portions
are dotted with stumps, and there is
some timber.
"The name of Carlsberg was de
rived from an old historic fort in Swe
den, and it - will not be long before
Carlsberg will be on the map as one of
the progressive settlements of Oregon.
I intend to establish a country home
there myself., and expect my father to
come out from the East, although he
has lived there many, many years.
"It would be difficult to say at 'this
time how large a population Carlsberg
will have the first year, but I would
' say some 50 families will locate there
as soon as the land is platted, and
then the number of people will depend
upon the size of the families, which
you may figure out yourself."
The settlers will not be restricted
to any particular religious belief, the
overwhelming majority of Swedish
people being Lutherans, but the col
ony wili be started with the view of
securing a most exemplary commun
ity. Churches will be established and
stores will spring up with the de
mands." The Columbia River Jetty.
For twenty-three miles on either
side the mouth of the Columbia River
the ocean beach, bed and spits are of
exceedingly fine sand, readily sus
ceptible to the shifting action of
winds, currents, 'surfs, tides and the
flow of the river. In another locality,
this faet might "not be especially sig
nificant, but at this particular spot it
means much, for the Pacific Ocean is
a violent turbulent body of water,
agitated for many days at a time by
the heaviest and severest oi storms,
which, coming largely from the south
west in the winter, are accompanied by
extremely heavy seas, probably
equaled on few of the coasts of the
world.
In 1882 a board of engineers pre
pared a project for the improvement
of the entrance under authority of the
Act of Congress of August 2, 1882.
This project provided for a jetty to be
built out from Point Adams, running
northwesterly across Clatsop Spit
toward Cape Disappointment.
The four and one-half miles required
were completed in 1896 to full height,
with the addition of four low-tide
groins built out from the sides of the
jetty 1,000, 1,000, 600, and 500 feet
long respectively. These groins were
to facilitate the deposit of sand on the
rocks of the jetty. Up to this time the
jetty had cost $1,958,602.09, instead of
the $3,710,000 estimated by the origi
nal board. The ten years' work had
resulted in an increased depth across
the bar of 11 feet, the water reaching
31 feet at low tide.
The purpose of the original board
has not yet, however, been accom
plished. There is now but 24 feet of
depth over the bar, instead of the 40
feet desired. But the results so far,
considering the magnitude of the
work, are vastly encouraging.
All this is not by any means a reflec
tion upon the efficacy of the enter
prise, however. Up to the present
time the total appropriations have ag
mrtori hut S4. 425.745. 81. as aeainst
' much greater ones expended upon
1 . . n . 1 T,!1.J 74-AAn
other waterways oi me umieu owrco.
The Mobile bar and harbor has cost
the Government $5,047,847.60; Savan
nah bar and harbor has been given a
fund of $7,599,973.05, 'and the Galves
ton harbor has been the recipient of
an appropriation aggregating $9,739,
129.66. To complete the breakwater
on the Columbia $850,000 is needed, in
addition to the $300,000 authorized but
not appropriated by the last Congress.
Compared to the cost of other harbor
improvements, the $1,150,000 still
needed is not at all unreasonable.
The final accomplishment of the un
dertaking is a question of money, but
aside from the $300,000 authorized for
expenditure by Congress, but not ap
propriated, there is no provision for
further work. The jetty is, however,
being extended at the present time

ably not be any more money available

Kidney troubles, urinary troubles

John J. Keating, painter, of 301 1-2
1st street, Portland, Oregon, says::
"I had dull aching pains in my back
for a number of years. They were
often so severe that I had to quit work
for two or three days at a time. The
kidney secretions were irregular and
scalding and I suffered also from head
aches and dizziness. Physicians fail
ed to help me and no medicine did
me any good. My back was always
lame and sore in the morning. I be
gan using Doan's 'Kidney Pills. They
relieved the urinary difficulty and the
heavy aching in. the back disappeared."

Keeping Cabbage Through the Winter.
Another subscriber "of the Home
stead desires to know "how to keep
cabbage through the winter on the
coast or in western Washington where
we have a great deal of rain to con
tend with."
We can do no better than to reprint
the article on this subject which was
published in the Homestead last April
and written by .Dexter Field, an ex
perienced gardener of Salem, Oregon.
It follows: "Your question, 'What Is
the best method of preserving cabbage
during the winter season?' is one that
is not easy to answer, if you mean pre
serving cabbage that are matured and
ready to use. f. - -
"The cabbage is a hardy vegetable
and will stand a good deal of frost or
freezing without hurting it, and it
will continue to grow and the heads
will form and become solid when other
vegetables are at a stand. The winter
just past has been such that cabbage
has grown all the time except during
one week, from the 10th to the 15th of
Febrtiary, when the thermometer was
down as low as 18 degrees above zero.
I have been growing cabbage here
near Salem-t-for . the last thirty-five
years, and have tried aH sorts of ways
to keep it after it was matured and
have, never succeeded in keeping it
more than two or three weeks when
it would begin to spoil. One winter I
had a fine lot of cabbage about the
middle of January and I plowed it all
under or buried it by plowing a fur
row,, then filling it with cabbage as I
pulled it roots and all, then plowed
another furrow in the cabbage cover
ing it up nicely. Just as I had fin
ished burying the lot, it turned cold
and' was cold enough so all the cab
bage outside was dtstroyed. As soon
as the cold was over I commenced dig- J
gmg my caDDage ana sluing it, out m
a week it was warm enough so that
the cabbage bleached out white, and
that, that I left in the ground two
weeks after the cold spell, was spoiled
so it was unfit for use.
"Instead of telling people how to
preserve their cabbage I tell them how
to have cabbage ten jnonths or more
of the year ; set plants of the early
kinds in November or December and

the cabbage will be ready for use in
the first part of the May following, !
then set other plants in February, and !
every two or three weeks thereafter".
In May set the late varieties and con
tinue setting the late kinds till the
middle of August. Of the last ones
set be' sure and set the hard-heading
kinds, such as the 'Holland,' 'Ball
Head,' etc. The Oregon climate is ,
such that many of the varieties that
will form hard .heads in the early fall :
will make very loose heads if left to
form heads in the winter. .
"As soon as your cabbage is mature,
use it or sell it and have others com
ing on so the supply will be kept up."
