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

success or failure of the new settlers.
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.

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.

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

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.

10 houses, a church, a schoolhouse andj
nine stables in the village of Clinton

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

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.

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

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.
