12 THE MORNING OEEGONIAK, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1902. HOW TO GET SETTLERS "WHAT PORTLAXD SHOULD DO TO HELP THE STATE. Large Responsibility for Opening? the Country to JfeTVComera Rests "With the Old Settlers. C C. Hutchinson, of Bend, Crook Coun ty, -who has been interested for years In reclaiming arid lands and promoting Im migration, largely In California, is now engaged in. an Irrigation project in the Deschutes Valley. The recent move " jnents in Portland toward advertising the resources of the state and getting proper attention for newcomers have attracted the attention of ilr. Hutchinson, who ex presses his views as follows: "As the public Is somewhat awake con cerning Immigration. Oregon's greatest need, suggestions upon this subject may be acceptable. And I wisn it understood that these items are not theoretical, but ore all founded upon actual experience. What Should Portland Dot "The present need of Portland seems not to be more people to compete with those already here, but to Induce the settlement of the waste places of the state, and the division of large, badly cultivated holdings Into tracts of 10 to 40 acres each, and the occupation of the same by industrious families. This relates to "Western Oregon. Eastern Oregon needs similar help, but on a larger scale. The cutting up of largo farms west of the Cascades can be ma terially promoted by Portland .capital. The Oregonlan has led off In a model pub lication of its kind, but neither this nor other printed matter Is so widely circu lated cs it should be. What is wanted is Eastern names. Let eiery well-wisher of the state prepare a list of addresses, and add to It names furnished by em ployes or friends, especially those who are most recently from the East. If you do not want the trouble or expense of mailing printed matter, take these names A to Secretary Moore or others, who are en- gaged In such work. "Write personal let ters to any Eastern paper you know, or Induce some one to do this who Is more recently arrived, or to sign what you write. What to Write or Print. "Don't gush or Indulge in rhetoric Tell the truth, but nothing more. Tourist literature, to awaken pleasure-seekers, at tract globe-trotters secure excursions and the like, are admirable in their way, and benefit every new country; but the transportation companies will do this for themselves, and Incidentally to jour ad vantage. "What you want Is small land buyers; that Is, farmers, small or large, say people who can land here with $1003 or 52000, or up to 510.000. Such people want .realties, and If you must Indulge in word painting, let it be confined to scenery and climate. Such people want to know the exact truth about the soil, water, fuel, products, health, transportation, climate, school and church advantages, etc "It Is difficult to get letters Into Eastern citr papers. Including agricultural, which are all published In the large cities, but the latter can be reached by furnishing a little adertlsing. Write to country pa pers published in rich districts, especially dairy regions, a general but brief news letter, putting Into the body of It a hint that feuch and such a public organization has receled so many letters of Inquiry that It has Issued some printed matter which is sent free. Any newly arrived .settler can alwajs get a letter into his old home paper, and with prompting and help will gladly do so. If he will say 4h,at he find's things better than he ex pected, it will do more good than much fine writing. Reselling; Immigrants. "It ..eems to an Impartial observer that Portland adopts too many resolutions, and does too little work; tnat is, there seems to be a tendency to scatter well-meant efforts. Money to promote immigration should be expended In the East; but if the glad hand is given to people who have vol unteered to come to Oregon, more of them will stay, and those w ho do not will carry home a more favorable report. Portland, and every other town In which newcom ers are landing, should have people en gaged, ladies and gentlemen, to escort these tired people to places of interest, cither in carriages or especially chartered street-cars. Every conductor on an In coming train knows who of his passengers are desirous of especial attentions, and at small expense circulars could be dis tributed on the trains, setting forth the plan adopted for receiving these strangers in a strange land. A few flowers, fruits, in their season, a visit to Portland, to "Washington-street exhibit, perhaps mak ing this the place where all would assem ble who accepted these free rides, furnish ing Information on any desired point, would be all that is needful. These peo ple do not want to be feasted or speechl iled, and such work as suggested must be free from any effort to sell land or di ert people to any particular locality. Selling Land. "The ultimate result sought Is the final location of a new family on land where they can prosper, and add to the business of town, county, state and Portland. This must be done In the country by the town people most directly Interested. But It Is not easy to colonize or separately lo cate new people in an old country. Al though Western Oregon is young, it Is practically old. Herein Washington has an advantage, although the states are much alike. Let a f evi farms be sold In a count of this state, and the lands of that vicinity go up beyend the reach of buy ers. I believe this can be counteracted by Inducing people to believe the fact that 40 acres of farm land is enough for one family in wet Oregon, and also In dry Oregon under irrigation. "Why should people pay the prices asked In some localities when they can buy land at less prices nearer home, and as profit able for the old style of farming? But if small tracts are taken, and cropped In a manner so earnestly taught by the State Agricultural instructors, and by other public benefactors (Including drainage), handsome profits are sure to follow. The fertile soil, mild, regular climate and abundant moisture furnish perfect con- uitions for the most profitable of all agri cultural operations, namely, the growth of green feed. But it is difficult and often impossible to dry it, therefore It fahould be put before stock as it is cut, the animals safely housed from rain and flies. This is called 'soiling,' and one acre pro duces as much as three acres under the hay and pasture system. Any excess of this feed over the amount daily required by animals on hand should be put in silos, and will come out as ensilage, as readily eaten and as profitable for use as If fed green. This saves the Investment, taxes, fencing, plowing, seed and cultiva tion of two acres out of three, as Is being demonstrated In many places In the United 'States, and more in Europe. When thesa "xnethous are adopted, as they are certain to be. Western Oregon will be a beautiful, Ijfiensely populated erdurc-clothed garden ana fruit orchard. But fruit trees don't like "wet feet, and tile drains must come in, as they have during the last 40 years, all the way from New York to the Mis sissippi. Illinois buried tiles everywhere during the last 25 years, at a cost of ?15 to $25 per acre, and considers it the best Investment the people ever made; and that is a dry state compared with many counties In Oregon. Local Colonization. 4 it Is said that Albany shows her en terprise by sending a man to Spokane after settlers. Some of the newly arrived can be captured, but the same money doubled would'have done 10 times as much good by working In some Eastern State last Fall and Winter. At the last State Fair there was a fine exhibit from Al bany, said to have been produced to & considerable extent by ono man. If two such men had gone East with that exhibit last Fall, ard shown It in a few towns in the heart of any of the rich states of the Upper Mississippi Valley, it would have hrdught many good people with cash to buy homes direct to Albany. The rail roads would have carried such an exhibit and exhibitors free. "But preparation should be made for such a visitation, not only somewhat upon lines here indicated, but on other lines. "The best people in any community should take up such work, and should plan, not to see how mucn money could be made out of the new settlers, but how, without loss to themselves, they could greatly help the strangers to locate where they would be sure, with Industry, to make money for themselves. "The first benefit to these public-spirited old settlers will be Indirect, but it will , count, because every new family will . expend as much the first year, having ' everything to buy, as five or ten of the old families." The future depends upon the HOW 500,000 COLUMBIA RIVER FERRY LOADING .GRAIN AT COLUMBUS, "WASH. The accompanying Illustration shows a Columbia River ferry loading wheat at Columbus.

See to It that they do not fall Into the hands of glib-talking sharpers, who will cheat them In trade, or those enemies ot every community, who are forever creak ing, the prophets of evil, who have failed themselves, and want to prove that every body else must fail. "Before Immigrants arrive a tract of land should be secured by purchase and cption, and platted into smaller tracts, with established corners. The work in the East need not of necessity point to this subdivision although frequently it is best t& do so but the whole effort should be to" direct the immigrant to some local committee which will do him Justice. A subdivision of this kind can be made to cover all expenses from the start to finish, and if credit Is given, a profit can be made in proportion to the length of time given. Settlers from any given Eastern state, even If they are strangers to each other, are more readily Induced to take the long Journey If they can locate side by side In the far distant land of promise. "Especial efforts should be made to bring the best and most Influential people and from as many counties or neighbor hoods as possible. Once established and prosperous In their new homes, they con stitute on ever-working immigration agency. Eastern Oregon. "Many of these plans apply with full force to great areas In Eastern Oregon. As for those newest regions, where irri gation Is a necessity to very greatly In crease the population, the rapid settlement of lands for which abundant water Is cer tain to be furnished, is an easy matter. Vastly more people are waiting to be in formed of such opportunities than can be accommodated. RETURNS FROM BOCAS. 4. Quiet Restored at the Colombian City. COLON, Colombia, April 24. The United States gunboat Machlas returned to Colon today from Bocas del Toro, where quiet has been restored. This city was rein forced yesterday by 350 soldiers from Pan ama. PANAMA, April 24 An American who has Just arrived here from David, via Bocas del Toro, confirms the previous re ports that the ex-civil and military chief of the revolution, Bellsarlo Porras, Sec retary Mendoza and General Ramirez have been made prisoners by the revolu tionary General Herrera for Insubordina tion. Sympnthy for Nlcaraerua. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 24. The Central American Governments have tele graphed their profound sympathy w ith the Government of Nicaragua as the result of explosions which wrecked the Managua barracks, April 16, resulting In the death of between 10 and 20 men. President Re melado, of Salvador, has offered Presi dent Zelaya financial assistance to relieve the sufferers of the disaster. Voluntary loans amounting to $12,000 gold have been forthcoming from the German and French merchants here. Chilean Ministry Reslfrus. .SANTIAGO DE CHILE. April 24. Ow ing to the great opposition of the Deputies to the sales of the cruisers Preeldente Pinto to Colombia and Presldente Erraz urlz to Ecuador, the Chilean Ministry has presented its resignation. The Foresters' Dispute. DENVER, April 24 Everand A. Hayes, of Buffffalo, high chief ranger of the Eastern Jurisdiction of the Ancient Or der of Foresters, is In Denver to try to settle the dispute between the East ern and Western districts of that order. The trouble arises over the control of the courts of Foresters In Colorado and the territories of New Mexico and Ari zona. The Jurisdiction is claimed by the Pacific Slope dletrict, although Eastern men declare that there is no ground for the contention. Could Fill the Paper With Them. Thie paper might be filled with items like the following, and every one be the absolute truth: "I had rheumatism for years, and fried almost everything, but got no permanent relief until I used Chamberlain's Pain Balm, three bottles of which have cured me. It Is the best medi cine I ever used." Philip E. Rhoads, Peunvllle. Mo. Pain Balm Is tot sale by all druggists. FORESTS ARE ABLAZE FURIOUS SWEEP OF FIRES IX CEN TRAL PENNSYLVANIA. Cause Loss of Life in Tvro Canes Vast Amount of Property De stroyedBlazes EIseiThere. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., April 24. Dur ing the 48 hours just past the furious sweep of forest fires in the central sec tion of the state has caused devasta tion to a vast amount of property and in two cases loss of life. Mountain fires destroyed a large number of sleepers and caused the rails to spread on Bar clay's lumber railroad. An engine and a dozen cars loaded with logs were de railed. The ' locomotive overturned, pin ing two of the six men riding on it under the tender. The other four men BUSHELS OF WHEAT GETS saved themselves with great difficulty but were unablo to prevent their com rades, pinned under the tender, from burning to death. The names of the unfortunate men have not been learned. As a result of the fire which destroyed 10 houses, a church, a schoolhouse andj nine stables in the village of Clinton dale, Clinton County last night. 6-year-old Agnes Feldine lost her life. The child became frightened when the flames at tacked the home of her parelits and In attempting to reach a place of safety she fell into a creek and was drowned. A critical state of affairs exists In the northwestern portion of Wyoming County, in the Pine Creek Valley. Near Haneyville last night, 400.000 feet of sawed lumber belonging to George Walker was destroyed. Roger's sawmill on Luck Run was burned during the night. The mountains bordering Pine Creek are reported ablaze from Ramsey vllle to Ansonla. At RamBeyville, 250,000 feet of logs belonging to Valentine Lup pert, of South Willlamsport, were de stroyed. At Ridgway last night a fire alarm was sounded and the citizens turned out to fight the encroaching flames and save the town from destruction. The forests are ablaze from Renova to Johnsburg. Burned 150 Buildings. CLARION, Pa., April 24. The fire t Marienville, Forest County, burned until last night, consuming 150 buildings and entailing a loss of nearly $300,000, with not over $75,000 Insurance. About one-half of the town Is in ashes, and 500 people arc homeless. The flames spread from the town to a lumber yard, and from there to the woods, and burned for two miles up the railroad. S. L. Pickens, editor of the Marienville Express, was severely burned, as also was Mr. Kendell. John Johnson, a tailor. Is missing, and it is supposed he was burned in his shop. Among the buildings destroyed were the postoffice, opera-house, three hotels, Marleriville Express and Presbyterian Church. It is doubtful if the place ever will be rebuilt, as It was a lumber town, and the lumber is nearly all out of this sec tion. Entire Block Gone. DES MOINES. la., April 24. Fire at Red Oak this morning burned dne whole block, entailing a loss of $225,000, of which but one-third .Is covered by insurance. Flames were discovered in the Houghton block, at the southeast corner of the square, at 3 o'clock, and before the volunteer fire department could respond they -were swept across the street into a long line of frame buildings, includ ing a livery barn and implement ware house. Fire In a New York Village. I.OWVILLE. N. Y., April 24. Fire; to day in the village of Corghan, near here, caused losses estimated at from $250,000 to $300,000. Twenty-one buildings were destroyed, among them being the prop erty of the St. Stephen's Catholic So ciety, Including the church, the monas tery, the convent, the school building and college attached to the monastery. The fire broke out in Truck's Hotel. The loss of the St Stephen's Society 13 about $80,000. Twenty families were made homeless. Fifteen Bnslness Houses Burned. SARCOXIE, Mo., April 24. The busi ness portion of Sarcoxle was wiped out by fire last night. Fifteen business houses were destroyed, entailing a loss of $100,000. The guests of the Sarcoxle Hotel and the Gait House escaped in their night clothes. The fire was of un known origin. Iowa Town Nearly Destroyed. OSKALQOSA, la., April 24. Freemont, 15 miles southeast, was visited by a dis astrous fire today that destroyed three fourths of the business part of the town. The total loss will reach $35,000, with insurance of about $15,000. The fire Is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Cost of Living in Manila. Richmond Dispatch. Those who are thinking of going to the Philippines in order to make or mend their fortunes would do well to consider the price In those islands of what are regarded as the necessaries of life. Sir loin steak sells in Manila at the rate of 55 cents per pound; mutton at 40 cents; fiesh oork at 55 cents, and lamb at the same figure. Ham is 65 cents a pound, cheese 50 cents, and turkey 65 cents; .lobsters are $2 each, butter is Jl a pound. rabbits are 60 cents each, and condensed milk Is 7a cents a pint. The ordinary native of the archipelago lives satisfac torily' to himself on rice, bananas and a few other articles of similarly small value, but the American is not likely to be content with such a slender diet. Pro fits may be large and salaries tempting in the Philippines, but foodstuff there are dear in proportion. b CARRY CARGOES FREE. On the Western Voyage Blgr Ships in Need of Ballast. Most people who have occasion to in trust their goods to the tender mercies of shipowners for conveyance over sea, are under the impression that the gen tlemen are adepts at charging, and that they would lift up their hands in righ teous indignation at any suggestion that they should give the use of their vessels to shippers free. But as a matter of fact a very large proportion Indeed of the -f TO MARKET world's ships, says an article In Pear son's Weekly, are constantly employed on exactly such conditions. The great Atlantic trade Is a case In point, for almost all the heavy cargo that goes westward to the States from this country is carried free. Even the great liners, that charge top rates for passengers, mails, specie and light goods, are often glad to secure dead weight, or ballast, as it 13 called, with which to fill their lower holds as freight, leaving nothing for transit charges after the out-of-pocket costs for stevedoring and harbor dues arepald. For this purpose they will condescend to carry clay. If they cannot do better. It is sent coastwise to them from Cornish ports to the Mersey and elsewhere, be ing barreled for convenience of handling, and from there this humble stuff gets a free passage across the pond some times In steamers so full otherwise that space elsewhere In them can be had for neither love nor money. PIglron might be preferred to clay, but unfortunately we send but little of that nowadays to Cousin Jonathan he sends It here Instead. There is, however, a case on record where a liner carried some hundreds of tons of that metal from Mer sey to London via New York, at a freight below what It would have cost to send it direct, simply because the steamer taking it was bound by hook or by crook to secure dead weight outwards. In other Instances plglron has been taken backwards and forwards over and over again for similar reasons, never being discharged of course until inducement of fered on one side or the other of the. Atlantic. For somewhat different reasons a simi lar state of matters sometimes arises in the Australian trade. From these ves selsespecially sailing ships carrying wool must have something heavy to act as ballast, and the result Is that such materials as copper, tin and lead are brought by" such craft more than half way around the world for less per ton than is charged for carting coal a mile In most big cities. The writer has sailed in a wool-laden ship, fully one-third of whose tonnage was occupied by such heavy cargo at 2s Gd per ton freight, and instances are not unknown "where ships have actually paid the shippers for such metals for the privilege of being permitted to carry it. The same thing takes place in connec tion with the shipment of esparto grass from Mediterranean ports. These steam ers will take in lead at a Spanish har bor and then shift to the African side for the grass. When they reach this country they will discharge the latter at one port and move to another with the lead. Yet, for all this trouble with the weighty material they may yet get noth ing, or may consider themselves lucky if the shippers pay enough to refund to the shipowners their out-of-pocket ex penses in handling it, For ships to go from England to the Pacific and carry cargo for nothing ap pears absurd, but It Is not infrequent. To Newcastle, N. S. W.t San Francisco and New Caledonia it has been done quite recently, and in such instances, when possible, the ships if they are for tunatemay get cement, or similar stuff, to take out all that distance for nothing. In the East India trade also, steamers have been known to carry coals out to Bombay and elsewhere at about 6s per ton, and as this, Is most cases, is not sufficient to cover the cost of going through the Suez canal, not to speak of other charges on the cargo, such boats may be said to give a free passage to the fuel In theli; holds. In salllng-shlp days and possibly still coals used to be carried for nothing to Canadian ports by vessels bound there to load lumber, and their owners would say: "Thank you," very politely, too, to the shippers for allowing them to carry it. Occasionally, other than heavy cargoes are carried free. Thus, when an inter national exhibit is contemplated, liners will often offer to take exhibits free, or at greatly reduced rates; being recouped, of course, by the increase of traffic otherwise. Similarly, boats with refriger ators will sometimes carry flowers and fruit, frozen in great blocks of ice, for nothing, for the sake of advertisement. But these" "cheap lines" are not for everybody, and to most folk the cute shipowner says: "Oh! no, I must charge you double you see I can get nothing payable to come back with." Nome Season Opens. SEATTLE, April 25. The Pacific Clip per Line's steamer Nome City Is again headed for the Nome gold fields. She sailed this morning. One hundred and fifty-one people took passage on the ves sel, whose departure marks the formal opening of the Nome season. She is the first craft to leave any port for Nome since the close of Behring Sea navigation, November 1. Captain Daniels hopes to reach his destination by May 30, SPREAD OF CHOLERA. Mecca One of the Great Points for Dissemination of Germs. New York Times. When the cholera appeared In Manila Instant and vigorous steps all those sug gested by the most advanced medical sci ence were taken, first to prevent the spread of the infection, either in the city or beyond it, and, second, to free from It the quarter where it had gained a foot hold. That an epidemic In Manila will thus be prevented cannot be predicted at present with certainty, since the con ditions there are still unfavorable, and the disease is not one like yellow fever, over which a conclusive victory has been won by the doctors, but what Is certain Is that all that can be done will be done, and that the number of fatalities will be trifling, compared with what it would have been if our great experiment in the Philippines had not been tried. With vastly different feelings will the world hear that the cholera has broken out among the thousands of pilgrims at Mecca, That Is news to send a chill of fear through every country that has any Mohammedan Inhabitants, and through many others, too, for Mecca has for cen turies been the point whence this disease has been distributed broadcast, and the methods there are etill those of dlstribu tlon and not those of restriction. The annual pilgrimages to Mecca have long been a source of danger to large parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, but no effect ual Interference with them has ever been attempted, partly because to do so would raise perilous religious questions, and partly because the pilgrimages are prof itable to many besides the followers of the prophet. i It seems as though the time had come at last to do something In this matter. Prohibition is probably Impossible as well as Injudicious, but a neasure of con trol is certainly possible. The British in India have allowed the plague to go on for nevcral vears rather than violate the customs and superstitions of their ignor ant subjects, but they admit that the policy Is a mistaken one, and to abandon it will soon be absolutely necessary Mecca, too, must be forced out of the Dark Ages and ordered to be clean. Tol eration has become Intolerably expensive. Victims of the Cairo Disaster. CAIRO. 111., April 24. Fourteen more bodies were taken from the river near the scene of the City of Pittsburg acci dent late today, making the total number of 25 bodies so far recovered. Five of the bodies found were those of white persons and were identified as those of Smith, pilot, Memphis; Leslie Carter, Deansfield, Ky.; Glenn Bowen, Ports mouth, O.; Fred Jones, assistant engi neer, Newport, Ky., and J. R. Evans, Jeffersonville, Ind. Funeral of Frank R. Stockton. PHILADELPHIA, April 24. Tho fun eral of Frank R. Stockton took place today from the home of his sister in this city. Services were held in St. Phil lip's Protestant Episcopal Church. Hun dreds viewed the body and for several hours a sorrowful procession, composed of men of letters, learned Judges, finan ciers and business men assembled at the bier. Mine Go Explosion. LOUISVILLE, April 24. One killed, one badly burned and several Injured Is the result of an explosion of gas In the Sun nyside coal mine, three miles from this city. The dead man and the one badly In jured are strangers in camp and their names are unknown. In the Mitchell mine, A. J. Osburn was killed by a cave In. He left a family in this city. AT THE HOTELS.
