CHANCE FOR OREGON
Can Get Arizona Market With
out Paying San Francisco.
HEAVY DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS
Tfce Calioniian Frequently Repre
sent Tliclr Wares to Be From Ore
gon in Order to Sell Tkem.
SALBX, June 22. "W. J. Bhepard, of
Zena, has recently returned from Phoe
ntx Arizona, -where he has been In the
interests of an Oregon nursery company.
In speaking today of his observations In
that state, he said that Arizona is a
very promising market for many
Oregon products, particularly nursery
stock. The people of Arizona are just
becoming thoroughly Interested In the
fruit industry, and the farmers are there
fore as eaper to buy youns fruit trees as
the Oregon farmers -were a few 5 ears
ago. The or-inffe-growlng industry is al
ready vrell dc . . Joped there, but the grow
ing of apples, apricots-, pears, plums and
prunes is now In the experimental stage.
All agricultural products In Arizona are
dependent upon Irrigation, and fruit trees
are more readily watered by this means
than are grain crops. But nursery stock
cannot be successfully produced on land,
watered by artificial means, for the roots
of the trees are ruined by knotty growth,
and therefore the orchardlsts are com
pelled to import their young trees. They
have tried getting their stock from OlII
fornla, but the tres thre ar largely
subject to the same conditions as In Ari
zona. They are learning, therefore, that
they must import their trees from Ore
gon or the Eastern States. Only the
young trees are injured by irrigation, and
if health' trees are set out they will
thrive, although watered by means of
ditches.
Mr. Shepard says that Oregon-grown
tores are far superior to Eastern nursery
stock, the soil and climate here being fa
vorable to a rapid, healthy growth. Trees
grown in Oregon will be as large in one
year as Eastern trees will be in two
years. This gives the Oregon nursery
man the advantage in the Arizona mar
ket, for his goods look, as well as the
Eastern product, with only half the ex
pense of raising.
Among the other Oregon products that
BIr. Shepard found taking the lead in
Arizona were potatoes and apples. He
says they always command a higher price
than the same articles grown elsewhere,
and are In greater demand. But he ob
served that most of the Oregon potatoes
and apples in Arizona are shipped there
through San Francisco middlemen. The
Ban Francisco merchant are thus ena
bled to charge a commission which
should remain In Oregon, either in the
hands of the producer or the shipper.
Ifany complaints are made In Arizona
that California merchants ship to Ari
zona as Oregon products apples and po
tatoes that were not raised here. This
not only hurts the reputation of our
products, but cuts off that much of the
market that is properly ours. Some ap
ples and potatoes are shipped direct from
Oregon to Arizona, and -while Mr. Shep
ard does not profess to be an authority
on such matters. he expresses the opinion
that that market could and should be
supplied without the Intervention of San
Francisco dealers.
Rennlts of the Rain.
The clouds have broken up and the rain
seems to bepast. "What the damage has
been is difficult to determine. Some say
that the benefits will equal the injury
mat nas Deen Jone. It Is estimated that
the clover hay crop has suffered a loss ,
of 50 per cent, and th.it c.her Vm-o
been very materially injured. Only those
cucmes, nowever, that were at the prop
er aegree or. maturity were cracked, and
those that were yet too green or had
passed tho critical period will be benefited
rather than injured. Hops, Spring grain
and pasture grass have all been improved
by the rains.
Public School Closing.
The annual closing exercises of the Sa
lem public schools were held this evening
in the Armory at the City Hall. A large
crowd was in attendance. The graduat
ing class consisted of 40 pupils, 19 boys
end 21 girls. The address to the class
was delivered by ex-Mayor Claud Gatch.
and the presentation of diplomas was by
Chairman "V. M. Cherrington, of the
School Board.
The address by Mr. Gatch was pointed
and forceful. He said. In brief, that the
cost of conducting tho public schools of
the TTnlted States Is equal to one-fourth
the entire expense of the Government:
that by giving the children of the country
on education the Government has con
ferred, upon them a great favor; that a
man or woman who forgets his or her
benefactor and is ungrateful for favors,
is recorded among the -meanest of man
kind: that It Is the duty of the children
to remember what has been done for
them, and to manifest due appreciation
by becoming good and true citizens of the
great Republic He said that to be goo3
c tizens does not mean that they must
keep out of politics and take no interest
in public affairs, but rather that they
must interest thcmselies in all govern
mental questions, city, county, state and
National. Addressing the parents, pse? ent,
he said that the schools, 'expensive, though
they are, hava. proven well worth the cost.

LAST TEASEL SHIPMENT.
Profit ICnocUcd Ottt of the Easiness
by a YnnUcc Indention.
OREGON CITY, June 22. A. J. Sawtell.
the veteran teasel grower of Molalia, after
upp'ying Eastern and "Western woolen
mills with teasels for a period of 40 ytars,
made his last shipment of teasels today.
This was the remnant of last year's crop,
and Mr. Sawtell now retires, having
grown gray In the business. During this
period he has handled many thousands
of do.lars. for there was a large demand
for the Oregon teasel. Of late ears, how
ever, the Invention of a metal contrivance
for raising the nap In woolen cloths, has
taken the place of the natural thistle pro
duction to a great extent, limiting the
demand of the latter to certain cloth
where the patented affair will not do good
work. Mr. Sawtell says that the profits
in the business are now cut down to a
figure where It will not pay to hire help
to produce teasels, although it can be
made to pay where the grower will do
tha groater part of his own work.
Mr. Sawrell waa born In England, whero
he worked at the teasel business in boy
hood. At the age of 18 he came to Cana
da, and after remaining there one Winter,
settled in Molalia and planted his first
crop of teasels In 1839. "While Mr. Sawteil
is a welVto-do farmer, he believes that
he would have had more money by retir
ing several years ago. Two brothers,
named Gregory, each have large yards
at Molalia and Carue, and are experiment
ing with new -varieties with the expecta
tion of producing a teasel that will be
in special demand.
Ko Inquest Keecasary.
Coroner Strickland, who went to Canby
last night to investigate tb cause of the
death of Volhy Mack, did not deem an
Inquest necesfeary, as It was evident that
it was the result of natural causes. The
deceased was standing on a, tab'e clean
ing the roof gutter, and It is supposed
fell to the ground In a faint. He waa 41
years old, unmarried, and had been in
poor .health for many years. He was
the aon of L&dru Mack, a pioneer.
Clover Hnrf, Grata Tlelped.
Tanners m towx today report that the
clover fhat was cut and laid out In the
late rains Is seriously damaged. Some of
the hay has molded on the ground. Timo
thy and other varieties of hay that Is still
standins looks well and will yle'd im
mensely. The opinion prevails that the
rains have benefitted Spring-own grain.

Heppner-Canyon City mail route.
This is a dally service of 104 miles eaoh

83200. Tho line has not been payfcig it
bina, and owes hundreds of dollars to
Heppner business men. Burns Bro$. at
tached the horses and coaches on a big
stable bill, and tied up the lln. 60 that
the postmaster was compelled to hire
special messengers to keep the mall run
ning. The contractor's bondsmen, Messrs.

letting nature take its course with the
squaw, and one of his opponent! brained
him. Succotash, an Indian who would
take sides with neither party, was 'tied
to a tree and tortured, burning matches
'being held under his nose until he came
off the fence, and then his voice was for
war. Meantime the equaw escapd to the

MILL FOB, DOCTOR MI?.'E.
Something: of an Experiment for the
Blrtc River District.
BLUB RIVER, Or., June 2L The-machinery
for Dr. Candlanl's mill arrived at
the head of the road at the Lucky Boy
mine yesterday, and Is being packed over
the trail to the Doctor mine art fast as
possible, and the little water wheel will
soon be m place to furnish the necessary
power. As this mill is something new,
tho results will be watched with interest.
It Is much easier to work than the old
fashioned stamp mill, and, if It be suc
cessful, it will be a T?oon to prospectors
in this camp. Dr. Candlanl has built a
cement floor and enclosed it In a circu
lar tube-like sides, some six feet across.
In which a cross-piece or axle carrying
two heavy cast-iron wheels about 'four
feet In diameter will revolve similar to a
Bryan mill. It is exactly upon the prin
ciple of tho old-fashioned 'Mexican arras
tra, which had no superior for saving
gold, especially If it Is inclined fo be
rusty. The constant grinding motion pol
ishes and cleans the gold right in the
mercury. In order to facilitate matters
and run through more ore than the arras
tra, this new mill is provided with
punched screens, so that It empties itself
in a short time.
