IMMIGRATION MEN HERE
Staff of the Harriman Railroads Ex
plaine'd Plans to Corvallisites.
A special train brought to Cor
vallis yesterday, a number of men
interested in bringing people from
theEast into Oregon, and for three
hours thev were in conference with
leading: citizens. The visitors were 1
taken in carriages out over the col
lege farm and among the buildings,
then they were taken to the city
hall where a public meeting . was ;
held, and after that they were ban
queted at the Occidental. The vis
itors are immigration and tiaffic
officials of the Harriman railroad
lines, and are as follows: W E
Coman, traveling passenger . agent
of Southern Pacific: J Jones. T. P.
A., and H E Lounsbury, T. F. A.
of Southern Pacific: G M McKin
ney, immigration agent; C Mac
Kenzie, assistant immigration
agent; W H Burke, Indianapolis,
Ind; H A Townsend, Des Moines,
Iowa, and I N Conklin of Milwau
kee, Wis. The Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company was re
presented by J O'Neil, T P A. and
R M Hall, publicity promoter.
At the public meeting Mr Mc
Kinney explained the plans and
purposes of the Harriman lines with
reference of inducing immigration
into Oregon. 'Immigration head
quarters are being established at
Des Moines, Iowa, Indianapolis,
Indiana' Chicago, Pittsburg, and
Louisville, Kentucky. Agents
from these headquarters visit var
ious towns in their territory and
secure lists of persons suspected of!
cherishing a desire for a change of
residence. These lists are sent to
headquarters, and advertising mat
ter provided by the company, and
by communities interested in se
curing immigration are sent through
the mails. If Corvallis and Benton
county wants advertising literature
sent to these people, and will pre
pare it, and turn it over to the rail
road agent of the company at Cor
vallis, Mr Kinne5' said, the Harri
man people will send it postage free
to people in the territory.
Mr McKinney further said, "You
have a far better country as regards
climate and resources than that in
which we propose to work. The . Wil
lamette Valley is indeed, the gard
en spot of the world, Having such
a country, if you will only prove it
to the pe. pie of the west and the
middle west. 100,000 people will
settle among you within the next
five years. The thing for you to
do is to prepare a statement of the
facts, and place it in our hands for
distribution.
Mr McKinney has been for ten
years an immigration agent'working
in the east in the Interest of Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana. He
has been a part of the force that has
made Washington so far outstrip
Oregon in growth of population, j
Mr Coman also made a brief, ad
dress in further explanation of the
plans, and he was followed by May
or Woodcock.
Then the meeting adjourned, and
a lunch was served the guests
at the Occidental. After lunch the
party returned to the City Hall
where Dr Withycombe, S L Kline
and others made bnei talks. A
motion declaring it to be the sense
of those present that Corvallis and
Benton county should prepare at
least 50.000 copies of a suitable
pamphlet for distribution was un
animously adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned.

IN A LOGGING CAMP
A Telephone There Logging by Mod
ern Methods on the Luckiamute.
A logging camp connected by
telephone with the outside world
is a new thing in the history of en
terprise. An arrangement of this
sort is newly established in the
camp of the. Spaulding Logging
Company on the headwaters of the
Luckiamute, Benton county. With
the familiar ting-a-ling of the tele
phone, the manager of the company
in his comfortable office at New
berg rings up the camp, boss, in
quires about the progress made
during the day, hears of require
ments or need of supplies at the
camp, and gives information as to
plans of operation to be inaugur
ated. All that is needed to make
the camp right up to date along
with the latest in civilization is a
comic opera or a minstrel perform
ance for the loggers to attend each
evening, and a daily newspaper to
tell them of the ' 'now you see him,
now you don't see him" exploits of
Outlaw Tracy.
The telephone line is newly com
pleted. It connects with the Ore
gon telephone system at Hoskins.
The private line of the logging
company is 11 miles long. A
proper switch board for long dist
ance communication is about to be
installed at Hoskins.
Twenty to fifty men are employ
ed in the logging camp. Some
times there are more. They have
three donkey engines for logging
operations. Two are used for haul-
ing new cut logs into the Luckia-
mute river. The other is applied
in pulling drifts, boulders and other
obstructions- from the river so that
the logs may be floated down.
The timber supply in the locality
is very great. It is estimated at
300,000,000 feet. About 8, 000,
000 or 10,000,000 feet in the ex
tensive logging of the past few years
has been taken away. The timber
is yellow pine of fine quality, and
hemlock. The company sells pine
logs to various mills along the riv
er and manufactures much of it into
lumber at its own extensive mills at
Newberg. The hemlock goes
mainly to the pulp mills at Oregon
City.
