MODERN LOGGING
METHODS PREVAIL
Waste of Former Years Elimi
nated in Utilizing Wealth
of the Forests.
CHEHALIS COUNTY TIMBER
Mammoth Mills Are Turning Out
Great Quantities of Lumber Krom
Land Subsequently Valua
ble for Agriculture.
ELM A, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.) Che
halls County's most Important Industry
today Is lumbering, and it promises to
continue so for many years to come. The
Government statistics credit this county
with more standing timber than any
other county In the State of Washington.
In round numbers, it Is estimated at 29,
000,000,000 feet, and the timber is first
class In every respect. No finer cedar
for the manufacture of shingles is found
anywhere, and the tail and stately fire
cannot be surpassed.
This county has been particularly for
tunate In the past in respect to forest
fires. The great and disastrous foreBt
fires of four years ago, which swept
through the whole state, did some dam
age here, but they were confined nrin
cipally to the logged-off lands, which had
prown up to brush, and the green timber
did not suffer materially.
Big logging camps, with crews of 100
men and more in many of them, are day
by day rawing down the forests of this
county, while modern mills, costing from
J 100.000 to 300.000 In some cases, are cut
ting Into lumber the logs sent to. them
lrora the camps.
Largo Capital Invested.
. From small beginnings great firms have
sprung up. A few years ago little cap!
tal was required to branch out in the
logging business; stumpage was cheap.
the logging outfit of an ox team and a
few tools all that was required, and the
haul was short, as a general rule. Now
a fortune is often invested in a single
logging outfit Steam power has dis
placed the slow-moving ox team on the
skid road, and the steel cable, reaching
back into the woods lor a mile and often
farther, brings out the logs by routes no
ox could travel.
The big logging firms now use logging
railroads which connect with the main
lines and run back into the timber. When
the timber within reach of the logging
road is cut, the rails are pulled up and
such ties as are worth taking up are also
removed to be used over again elsewhere.
The shingle mills are generally located
near a cedar tract, and the shingles,
after being kiln-dried, are hauled in wag
ons' to the railroad to be shipped to mar
ket. It is usually customary to cut tha
tree into bolts, which are hauled to the
mill or floated there. If the mill is located
on a creek, a more convenient process
than moving the entire log to the mill.
Shingle bolts average from 20 to 30 to
the cord, and the present prevailing price
is from $3 to J3.50 per cord, delivered at
the mill.
Price of Logs Is High.
The price of logs is now better than ft
has ever been before in the history of
logging In this country. Nine and ten
dollars a thousand is being paid for logs
that a few years ago could have been
bought for U and $5 a thousand. Stump
age has advanced correspondingly, and
loggers are now paying from $l to $2 a
thousand stumpage for timber that is
available for Immediate logging pur
poses. The outfit for logging and lumbering in
this country is good. While the early
logging was carried on in a wasteful and
destructive manner, the lumbermen of
today are not leaving much behind them
when they get through logging a tract of
timber. Their plan now is to take every
thing that will make a board or a 2x4.
In some Instances the same ground has
been logged over two and three times,
and there are Instances where the logger
who gos over the ground the second time
makes more money that did the first
one, who only took the best of the tim
ber. One reason for this is that the roads
were already built for the last logger,
and he did not have to incur this ex
pense. Precaution Against Fire. '
The loggers now are more careful than
ever to prevent the spreading of forest
fires. Spark-arresters are placed on all
the donkey-engines and every precaution
is taken to protect the timber from fire.
The land where this magnificent forest
is being cut is largely very fertile; some
or it cannot be surpassed. With the nass-
lng of the forest, there will be left a soli
from which other fortunes will be made
year by year, as the land Is worked and
tilled. Already the values of these lands
Is attracting attention, and many men
are seeking them for homes. There Is
but one crop of trees, and when the tree
is cut and the log from which it came
Is Bawed into lumber and the lumber is
loaded on the cars, or put on board a
ship, there is no replacing the source
from which the proceeds, thus derived,
can be continued. But the farm crops
in mis country are as sure as the sea
sons, and with the opening up of new
farms, an agricultural region will follow
the departure of the logger.
SALEM LIKES OILED STREETS
Cheaper Than Sprinkling With
AVater, and Also Better.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
The use of crude oil as a dust pre
ventative Is proving very successful on
the streets of Salem. The County Court
recently had ordinary fuel oil put on
rnalf of each of the streets surround
ing the Courthouse square and the re
sult has been an entire elimination of
the dust nuisance there.
At first the oil adhered to wagon tires
but since it has soaked into the soil,
there is no more trouble of this kind,
but the surface packs smooth and hard.
There Is an oil odor in the air but it Is
not as disagreeable as the dust and
probably Is not unhealthful. It Is be
lieved the oil odor will be only tem
porary. The use of oil will be only one-third
as costly as water for settling dust.
The portion of the street treated with
oil Is more pleasant to drive over than
the other half, as wagons and car
riages do not rattle over the grravel as
they do where oil has not been used.
It is expected that the streets treated
with ell will shed water better in the
Winter and be less muddy.
CELERY IS ON' MARKET EARLY
Yield Is of Good Quality, and Will
Be Large.
ELM A, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
John Devine today brought In the first
celery of the season. It was raised In
his garden tract near here and was of
very good quality. This is about three
weeks earlier for celery than usual.
J. H. Hale is the pioneer celery
grower of this county. He went into
the business on an extensive scale and
his great success In growing it for
the market Induced others to go into
the same business, until now It has be
come quite Important. Celery grown
here Is of as good a quality, if not bet
ter, than that grown in Michigan,
which has become famous as a celery
growing state. Celery has been found
to be a profitable crop to raise, and
there Is so much land here so well
adapted to it that in time it will reach
large proportions.
SURVEY DOWN GRASD KOXDE
Speculations as to Object of O. R. &
X. Engineering Party.
LA GRANDE. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
A party of O. R. & N. engineers began
work last week to survey a continuation
of the line from the mouth of the Wallo
wa River down the Grand Ronde to Lewis
ton. A preliminary survey of this route
was made about ten years ago and the
revival of the work affords a theme for
speculation, as the purpose has not been
made public. It may be done to hold
the right of way in case this territory
is invaded by a rival company.
Perhaps it is a necessary part of a
plan to complete a water-grade route be
tween the upper country and Portland.
When the line of track is complete from
Elgin to tne junction of the Wallowa,
and from Lewlston to Rlparla, there re
mains but about 60 miles to complete a
water level system for nearly this entire
Eastern country.
Railroad men think the latter plan the
object of the company and within two
years there will be a direct rail route
from La Grande-to Lewlston.
LAND TO BE
AND DESCHCTES COUNTRY WILL
BECOME FERTILE.
J. R. Linn Believes Irrigation Will
Work Wonders, and Tells What
Has Been Accomplished.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) "I do
not believe a man will make a mistake
in taking up irrigable arid land in the
Des Chutes country," says J. R. Linn,
a prominent Marlon County hopgrower
and dealer, who has just returned from
a trip to that part of the state. "I am
convinced that Irrigation in that country
will be a complete success and that the
land will be worth more and more every
year. It is only a question of time when
a railroad will be built across the state,
traversing the Des Chutes "Valley, and
then the country will settle up very rapid
ly. It Is a desolate-looking region in its
unimproved condition, but when it has
been watered and cultivated it Is as pretty
a country as a man could want to live
in.
"At first I was very much disappointed
with the country. We drove from here
across the Cascades to Redmond and
then south to Bend, and on the way we
did not see any Irrigated farms. Driving
all day along dusty roads with sagebrush
and juniper trees on all sides was enough
to discourage anyone, and the first night
we were in Bend I wanted to come back
home without looking any further. The
other men In the party insisted upon
staying, and the next day we visited
some of the irrigated farms. We saw
fine crops of wheat, oats and barley and
heavy fields of alfalfa and clover.
Gardens looked well and potatoes were
promising a good crop. I visited one farm
of 80 acres that yielded about nine tons
of alfalfa per acre last year and the crop
was sold for $16 a ton. On another farm
they raised 150 bushels of potatoes per
acre and sold them at 3 cents a pound
in sacks in the field.
"Yes, of course those prices were due
largely to local demand and to the fact
that supplies must be hauled from Shan
lko by team, about 90 miles. The con
struction of a railroad will change con
ditions somewhat, but the irrigated land
will always raise big crops of alfalfa and
there will always be a good market. The
Government is leasing the forest reserve
lands for Summer pasturage for sheep
and there will always be large bands to
feed during the Winter. The sheepmen
buy the alfalfa in the stack for Winter
feeding.
"After seeing the irrigated farms and
learning what a change is effected by the
use of water, I changed my poor opinion
of the country and took up 160 acres of
land all the law allows. All that coun
try needs now to make it develop rapidly
is a railroad, and I believe the road will
be built in the near future."
Pain in the side nearly always comes
from a disordered liver and Is promptly
relieved by Carter's Little Liver Pills.
Don't forget this.

PLAN TO IRRIGATE
Extensive System Projected
for Grand Ronde.
COMPANIES ARE FORMED
Preliminary Survey Has Been Com-
pleted Engineers Are Now Ob
taining Final Data Hope
Soon to Begin Work..
LA GRANDE, Or Aug. 12. (Special.)
Two .big irrigation systems, which will
cover the entire Grand Ronde and In
dian valleys and a portion of land in
Wallowa County, are being projected by
local companies.
The organization to be known as the
Grand Ronde Water Company, is a cor
poration which will promote a $2,000,000
irrigation project and besides furnishing
water for irrigation on a large scale,
the company expects to provide power
for lighting where It is wanted. The
water will be taken from the Big
Mlwam, which forms the boundary be
tween Union and Wallowa counties. The
preliminary surveys for the big canal
were made last year, and at the pres
ent time the engineers are engaged In
making the final surveys and doing the
cross-sectioning.
The canal will take the water through'
a deep canyon. Its head Is in section
35, township 3 south, range 42 east. After
cutting through the high divide in town
ship 1 north, range 41 east, it will be an
easy matter to cover the Indian valley
country and swing into the Grand Ronde.
The main canal to the divide will be 34
miles long. The lateral distributing
canals as planned will be 60 miles in
length.
Surveys to Be Finished.
The promoters estimate that it will
take four months' time for the large
force of engineers now at work to com
plete the final survey. Construction
work will be commenced as soon as
the survey is finished. The officers of the
Grand Ronde Water Company are: Wal
ter M. Pierce, president: T. H. Craw
ford, secretary; J. K. Romlg, vice-president
and chief engineer; T. R. Berry,
locating engineer in charge of the field
work.
The Grande Ronde Reservoir Company
was Incorporated this week with a. capi
tal stock of $100,000. The men who are
heading this project are Walter M. Pierce,
George Stoddard, William G. Hunter and
T. H. Crawford. Their object is to con
struct a system of dams and reservoirs
on the Grande Ronde River for the pur
pose of retaining the spring floods of
water for Irrigation in the valley. Mr.
Pierce purchased thla week the farm of
W. S.-McMillen at Starkey, which will be
one of the principal reservoir sites. Fil
ings have been made and notices posted
covering claims and rights to be here
after acquired by the new Incorporation.
Dams to Be Built.
A preliminary survey and estimated
cost of the proposition was made under
direction of Engineer Berry about a year
ago, but no direct steps have been taken
to develop the proposition until this week.
The first dam will be placed across a
canyon below Meadow Creek, and several
other dams will be placed at points of
advantage along the river.
The plan Is to retain the -water that
comes during the Spring freshet and
which is now entirely lost to the valley
and bring it into use when the dry season
is here and the land needs irrigation.
This undertaking is regarded more in the
light of a public enterprise than a project
for individual gain, and the major portion
of the stock of this company Is to be of
fered to the public at its par value of $100
per share.
While Grande Ronde Valley is not de
pendent upon irrigation to produce good
crops, with the advent of an adequate
supply of water for a complete system
of irrigation, the productiveness of the
soil and the material increase of products
will greatly enhance the value of land.
It will also make possible the support of
a largely increased population.
WANT LESS FOREST RESERVE
Colvllle Takes Action Toward Modi

COLVILLE, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Two hundred people attended a meet
ing of the Colvllle Commercial Club at
the courthouse in- this city last night
to discuss the matter of the recent ac
tion of the Interior Department in set
ting aside over 30 townships of land in
the south and eastern part of Stev

settlers in the exempted district, and it
ft If

-was evident that they were very much
in earnest about the whole matter.
F. H. McDermont, vice-president of the
Commercial Club, called the meeting to
order and stated the object. Secretary
L. E. Joseph read a set of resolutions
which had been prepared, as touching
the sentiment of the people. John B.
Slater made a speech to the audience
in which he stated that, while he fa
vored the sentiment expressed in the
resolutions, he doubted the wisdom of
their adoption at this time.
Mr. Slater followed his address with
a motion to the effect that the secre
tary of the Colvllle Commercial Club
be authorized to address an invitation
to each commercial club, organized
city or town and unorganized communi
ties in the county, to send at least three
of their citizens to meet with a like
number from the Colvllle Commercial
Club in the courthouse at Colville, on
August 25, to devise ways and means
whereby the order setting aside the
territory now embraced within the pro
posed forest reserve in Stevens County,
mey be either rescinded or modified.
An amendment was proposed by G. E.
Ide, extending the invitation to the
Chamber of Commerce and to the 150,000
Club of Spokane. The amendment was
accepted, and the motion went through
without a dissenting- voice.
A general expression of views of the
matter indicated a strong feeling against
the forest reserve, as Indicated by th
order at this time.
FIGHTING GDDL1N MOTH
HOOD RIVER MAN BELIEVES HE
CAN EXTERMINATE IT.
Experiments Result In Determining
Time to Spray Fruit Trees
to Kill Pest.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
By an experiment which had its de
nouement Wednesday, E. H. Shepard,
manager of the Fruitgrowers' Union, has
obtained information in regard to the
propagation of the codlln moth that may
be the means of saving applegrowers here
many hundreds of dollars. As is well
known to entomologists, the exact period
between broods of codlln moths Is a fixed
one. The coming of the first brood, how
ever, is said by applegrowers, who have
carefully watched them, to vary with the
temperature of the weather during the
early Spring. If the coming of the first
brood can be discovered, they say that it
can then be determined exactly when to
spray for the second and most disastrous
brood.
This process Mr. Shepard has deter
mined, and this year fruitgrowers her
will know exactly when to spray in order
to eliminate the wormy apple. In talk
ing about this interesting experiment the
fruitgrowers' manager said:
"Of course we have always sprayed our
trees thoroughly and carefully both dur
ing the Winter and Summer, but the
system has been more or less haphaz
ard. While it has produced good results,
there has been some wormy fruit which
it was Impossible to eradicate, owing to
the fact that the moth propagated be
tween the periods of spraying. By tak
ing a few of the first wormy apples that
appeared in my orchard and placing them
in a jar, I have hatched out a codlin
moth, the first one that I have seen in
the valley, although we have had undis
putable evidence that they were here. The
life of this moth will be four days, when
it will lay eggs that will take H days
to hatch. So you see we can determine
when to spray in order to destroy the
second brood.
"The late Spring this year was very
unfavorable to the first brood of codlin
moth. But the weather during the past
month has been the most favorable for
that fruit pest that has been known in
many years, as for 26 days during the
month the minimum temperature at night
did not fall below 60 degrees. As the
moth flies at night and is not active In
a temperature of less than 55 degrees, it
can be seen that spraying at the proper
time this year will be most important.
It may mean the saving of many hun
dreds of dollars to growers, and there is
no reason why this experiment, which as
far as I know has never been tried be
fore, cannot be repeated each year until
the moth is practically exterminated."
The period of propagation of the moth
as determined by the experiment Is 50
days. The first, brood of worms was In
the apples 21 days, in the cocoon seven
days. In the period of transformation
seven days, life of moth four days, and
eggs in hatching 11 days. This agrees
with the time between broods as an
nounced by the State Agricultural Col
lege, which places it at from 49 to 50 days.

CROP FORECAST
' OF THE D. R.&N.
Company Reports Good Yield,
Although Below Average,
Along Its Lines.
FIGURES OF R. B. MILLER
Usual Crop In tho Great Palouse
Wheat Belt Which Will Largely
Offset the Shortage In
Other Sections.
Indications for the wheat yield of
the territory contiguous to the O. R. &
N. lines are that it will be slightly be
low the average crop. However, there
seems to be little foundation for bo dis
couraging reports as have been widely
circulated and taken in all the crop
prospects are very good. The reports
about the poor yield of the staff of life
have been exaggerated and the grain
men are taking a very hopeful view of
conditions, according to forecasts which
have been prepared by the Harriman
lines.
There will be enough wheat harvest
ed to prevent Portland from being dis
placed as the greatest grain shipping
port in the United States and the pros
perity of the Eastern Oregon and East
ern Washington farmers will be con
tinued. Of course there will not be as
much wheat harvested as in some
years, but it will not be greatly below
the average yield.
R. B. Miller, general freight agent
of the O. R. & N. lines, receives daily
telegraphic reports relative to the con
dition of the wheat in all parts -of the
territory served by the road which he
represents. These reports are made as
accurate as possible because the trans
portation company depends upon them
in its plans to move the crop.
Good Crop In Palouse.
Mr. Miller has received word that
there will be about an average crop in
the great Palouse district. As this is
one of the largest of the wheat-producing
sections of the Northwest the yield
there will do much to offset the losses
in other sections of the grain belt. The
crop in the Palouse country is not ex
pected to fall below that of last year.
There will be a decrease in some sec
tions of that productive district but
in other places there will be a large
increase which leads experts to believe
the yield this year will be about as
large as last year. Indications of the
yield in other parts of the Northwest,
taken from the reports received by Mr.
Miller, are as follows:
In the Grand Ronde Valley there
will be about a 25 per cent Increase
over the average crop. This is the
only material Increase noted in any one
section of the wheat belt.
In Umatilla County the yield will be
about the same as last year.
Some Increased Acreage.
Along the Condon branch of the O. R.
& N. In the vicinity of Shuttlers, Rock
Creek and Mikkalo the yield will be
about 2d per cent. At Clem. Gwendolin
and Condon there will be an increase of
75 per cent, 10 per cent and 100 per
cent, , respectively, due largely to In
creased acreage.
Along: the Heppner branch there will
be a shortage of about 65 per cent.
The yield in Walla Walla County will
fall short by about 10 per cent.
Around The Dalles the quality will
be poor and the yield will be from 20
to 25 per cent short.
Along the Columbia Southern there
will be a decrease of about 50 per cent.
In the Snake River country the yield
will be about the same as last year.
There will be a slight decrease In
Whitman County and Garfield County,
but this will be offset by the decided
increase In Asotin County.
The above estimate is based upon
the conditions as they now appear but
they may be changed somewhat by
later developments. Hauling wheat will
begin in about ten days in certain lo
calities, but not in all sections.
A MODEL HIGHWAY.
Government Is Constructing It at
Salem Exhibit at Stat Fair.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Visitors to the Oregon State Fair next
month will have an opportunity to see
a model macadamized highway in all
stages of construction. Under the su-
s TO S"'
'S.: .'4.'.' l:.-- v - ' - wnfc
pervislon of D. G. Haire, an expert in
road construction, the United States
Government is now building a mile of
highway adjacent to the State Fair
grounds. About 100 yards of the road
have been completed and a quarter of
a mile will be finished by the time the
fair opens, September 10. Visitors will
see the construction gangs making a
grade, crushing rock, screening rock,
so as to separate it according to size,
spreading the rock on the road, and
rolling the rock to make a solid sur
face. Within a half mile one can see a
dirt road, dusty In Summer and muddy
in Winter, transformed into a rock-surfaced
road, solid throughout the year.
Part of the road now being improved
has been gravelled from time to time
and this fact will give the visitors a
splendid opportunity to compare gravel
with crushed rock as a surfacing mate
rial. Under horses' hoofs and loaded
wagons the gravel, round and smooth,
jars loose and never makes a solid sur
face. The crushed rock is rough and
angular and the more it is traveled
over the closer and firmer is packs to
gether. Mud works up through gravel
in the Winter and water soak3 down
through the gravel Instead of running
off at the sides. The rock-surfaced
road sheds water, thus keeping the
foundation solid. One of the most im
portant features of the work of im
proving the road is the rolling process.
This Is done with a heavy steam roller
which follows a sprinkler. While it
would seem that sprinkling coarse rock
would do little good, such Is not the
case. When the first layer of rock Is
laid, In pieces two inches in diam
eter, it is sprinkled and rolled and it
Is found that the sprinkling makes the
rock pack together better. A fine layer
is spread over the coarse and this is In
turn sprinkled and rolled. The top layer
is of fine crushed rock, and when this
has been sprinkled and thoroughly
rolled the surface of the road is even
and solid. Horses' hoofs do not throw
up the rock and wagons do not make
ruts. The entire thickness of crushed
rock is seven inches.
It is not yet possible to determine
the cost of this mile of road, but It Is
quite certain that it will be more than
the cost would ordinarily be for the
reason that the work Is being carried
on during the busy season when men
and teams are scarce and wages high.
Roads are generally Improved at a
time of the year when farmers are not
so busy. The work is being done now
bo that the visitors to the Fair may see
the road in every stage of construction.
