PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN THE STATE OF OREGON COOS BAY'S WEALTH Coast Section of Oregon Lav ishly Blessed by Mature. RICHES IN COAL MINES Farming and Dairying Industries Aided by Cheap Water Transpor tation Mar6hfields Xataral Advantages for Future, MARSH FIELD, Or., Nov. 11. (Special.) Th energetic citizens of Marshfield are beginning to realize the advantages this city has in Its superior location, wealth of timber. daJry products, lumber, coal ar.d its cllmata that "cant be beat:" 'With the expenditure of less than Jl .WO.OOO, one of the finest harbors on this or any other c-sast can be secured here. The soil is not surpassed anywhere; in fact nothing in the Coos Bay country grows of a nor ma size. It is doubted whether it would be possible to raise any dwarf species f f any kind in this country. Moreover, the flavor of apples, pears and straw berries especially Is not excelled any where on the globe. Another great, feature of the country, which is now overlooked, more especially by residents, is the miles and miles of inland water-ways that Nature has pre pared at no expense to man, and keeps In repair. The same number of miles of pike,, such as is built through the middle, eastern or w&stern states, would cost the farmers thousands of dollars. It is truly a wonderful sight to see along the docks at Marshneld and North Bend anywhere from 20 to 76 launches, owned by ranchers and used to bring produce to market. Taking Marshfleld as a center one can travel lOrt miles in a launch. Produce is brought from every point of the compass, by water. Tet in traveling this distance one need not get further than 17 miles from Marshfleld in an air line. The writer does not claim to be a coal expert, but after having lived many years in the heart of the coal-fields of Ohio, is able to judge from his own opinion. For instance, with a page of newspaper and a half-dozen old shingles one can build a fire of Marshfleld coal at will have your stove red-hot in less than five minutes. Some people might jump at the conclusion that the coal burns up too rapidly, but that is not the case. The morning fire often may be kindled from live coals that have remained in the stove all night. It is not necessary for anybody to accept guesses as to the immense quantities of coal there are in this coun try. The United States Government re ports prove that beyond question of doubt. The Coos Bay eranDerry industry has been developed but very little, compara tively speaking, but that little has demon strated beyond a doubt that there is no finer cranberry land in the world: more than that, the cranberry is of fine flavor, and can be shipped further and with less damage than any berry grown In America. There are half a dozen expert cranberry growers along North Slough and in the Te.n-Mile district, direct from the cran berry fields of Michigan and New Jersey; men who have had years of experience in that section. They are meeting with great success, and are preparing new beds and enlarging old ones every year. It will be but a short time before the Coos Bav cranberry will be known and sought for in the markets of the entire Coast. The area adapted to raising cran berries will not exceed IO.ivm) acres, but this land can be had at the present time at very reasonable prices. It has been well S3id of Coos Bay that when the tide Is out the table is set. Anyone with a pair of gum boots, an old boat and a shovel can row across the bay at any time at low tide and in half an hour gather enough clams to feed a family for days. It is -no trouble at or near the mou'h of the bay. to gather with a rake, the largest of crabs, and around Coos Head can be found in abund ance the finest musiels anii rock oysters to be. had anywhere. It may be news to some Oregonians that the rock oyster is found in but two places in the world, on the Coast of Oregon and at one point op the coast of Spain. As for ftah at this time of year the bay is dotted here and there with boats trolling for salmon and catching them. tTP Coos River 15 miles the finest brook and mountain trout in the world are to be had. If one is a lover of nature, a lover of the beautiful, of good sea air. of pure mountain water, he need never have a dull ' moment on Coos Bay. As for investments, there is no better nor safer place in all the growing Pa cific Northwest. It ha9 been truly eaid that the means of travel in getting in and out of this country are crude and tire some, but it is a consoling fact that the best things in this world are not the easiest to obtain. The- latest industry on the bay is a denaturized alcohol plant, which will employ many men and use many thou sands of bushels of potatoes. By the way a rancher in Coos County thinks he has made a failure if he raises leis than 500 bushels of potatoes to the acre, nor does it require one-half the care or culti vation that must necessarily be bestowed upon a potato crop in the East. In other words, five acres of land in Coos County will make a man a better living than any 50 acres in the State of Ohio. Cattle will live on the ranges the year around on the Coos River hills and back in the Falls Creek country. The Coos Bay farmer thinks he is losing money if an ordinary cow does not make him J7S to $S5 a year. Is it any wonrler that Marshfleld people predict that Coos Bay will have a popula tion, of 50.000 within five years: Organize a Water Company. LA GRANDE. Or.. Nov. 11. fSpecial.V Articles of incorporation have been filed for the Mill Creek Water Company, with a capital stock of $12,500. La Grande will be the principal place of business. The incorporators are George Krieger. Am brose Wright and August Bahrens. The object is to appropriate 1000 inches of water from Mill Creek, above Summer vine, to be used for irrigation and other purposes. The incorporators have recent ly become interested in large tracts of land and some extensive improvements are to be made. Kansas City and Return, $60.

EXPERIMENT IS SUCCESS Marks Xew Era in Development of Mines on Upper Grand Ronde River Becomes a "Poor Man's" Country. LA GRANDE. Or., Nov. 11. Specials Assay returns have been received bv the Aurelia company from concentrates turned out on the trial run of the mill re cently installed by that company on its mining property up the Grand Ronde River. These assays show values rang ing from 3225 to $250 to the ton. with a loss of about 15 per cent in the waste. The recent run of the mill shows that the ore will run 5 or more per ton. and when the machinery is placed in first class working condition from 90 to 35 per cent of the values can be saved. The mill installed is but small Only five horse-power is required to run the crusher and other machinery, and but one man is needed to superintend the entire plant. Mining men are enthusi astic over the success of tie mill, and believe this character of mill has solved the problem of how to handle the ore of the Grand Ronde district. A few years ago it was the opinion of miners tnat the up-river country ores could not be worked with small capital: that not less than $50,000 or $100,000 would be required to install a suitable plant for the treat ment of the ores found there. Small Plants Are Profitable. The trial of the Aurelia company has proved that the ore can be handled on a very much smaller scale, with high percentage of .profits, or even higher, to the ton than with heavy stamp machin ery. It is the intention of the Aurelia company to put in another mill next year. Other owners of mining property in the same district will follow their ex ample. Enough development work has been done up the river to show that in quan tity and value there is all kinds of ore in that country, and the dawn of an ac tive, profitable mining industry tributary to La Grande has never seemed so near. The Meier claims have been leased by a mining company from Montana, under ar rangement whereby a certain amount of work will be done this winter, and if the showing is satisfactory a concentrating plant is to be installed in the Spring. The Hendricks Bros., of La Grande, are going to continue development of their claims during the Winter, and whenever a sufficient body of ore is blocked out thoy also will put in a mill. It is not rash to predict that 20 or 30 of these small mills will be at work up the Grand Ronde River within a year or two. Contrary to old theories held before the introduction of these small plants, the Grand xionds Is the ideal "poor man's" mining country. The claims can be worked with a comparatively small outlay - to begin with. It. is reasonably certain, aiso. tnat a logging railwaj- will soon be ex tended up the river in the near future, and no one can tell how soon the mining industry will contribute toward making such a road a permanent factor in up river development. BAXDOX EXJOYS PROSPERITY Manufacturing Plants Are Busy and Beal Estate Is Booming. - BANDON. Or.. Nov. 11. (Special.) Bandon is enjoying something of a real estate boom, and lots that might have been purchased for $10 each last Spring are selling for $100 and finding a ready market at that price. Activity in manu facturing accounts for the boom. The salmon cannery, broom-handle factory, wood-pipe plant, brewery, match factory and foundry are running full time and the Bandon woolen mills are running day and night to keep up with orders. The shingle mills are running to their full capacity, and the Cody Lumber Company is building a mill that will have a ca pacity of 75,000 feet a day. At the ship building plant, a force of men is at work all the time, and orders are coming in faster than they can be filled. The foundry will be enlarged to double its present size before Spring. The advantages for manufacturing at Bandon are many. Owing to the mild climate, factories can be operated the year around. Fuel is cheap, there being an abundance of both wood and coal in this vicinity, and indications are that pe troleum will be found. Ir! the vicinity of Bandon there are sev eral large sawmills. At Parkersburg. seven miles up the river, the Coquille Mill & Tug Company has a mill with a capacity of 40.000 feet daiy. and at Pros per, three miles from here, are mills owned by the Prosper Mill Company and Carman & Crites. having a capacity of 55.O0O and 65,000 a day. respectively. The population of Bandon has been in creasing steadily for the last two years, and there are no houses for rent here at the present time. The town has good schools and churches and is supplied with pure water by a gravity system. It is out of debt and its financial standing is excellent. HAY SHORTAGE OX COOS BAY Fanners Do Xot Produce Enough to Supply Local Market. NORTH BEND. Or.. Nov. U. (Special.) Bringing hay from the Willamette Val ley to North Bend and Marshfleld is something like carrying coals to New castle, yet nearly every boat that comes here from Portland lands a quantity of hay. Around Coquille some hay is grown for the market, but it costs nearly 'as much to bring hay from, that point to Marshfleld. a distance of 15 miles, as it does to bring it from Portland. If the hay is consigned to North Bend it must be transferred from the cars to boats at Marshfleld, and that costs $1 a ton extra. Valley grass hay can be purchased in Portland for $3 a ton,, and it costs $3 a ton for freight. This hay retails for $13 a ton. There is no clean timothy or clo ver hay to be had here at any price and Oregon grass is at a premium. On the bottom lands in Coos County four and five tons an acre of oat hay can be raised, and clover and timothy grow well on the rich bench lands. When asked why the farmers did not raise more hay for the markets, a dealer here said that the growth of North Bend and Marsh field had been so rapid that the demand was years ago. The high prices offered for hay have convinced many farmers that it is a good crop, and it is expected that next year large areas will be de voted to hay. Hundreds of horses will be used in con struction work on the Drain-Coos Bay line next season, and the demand for hay will greater than ever before. NEW MIXES IX NEVADA. Dyke District, Rich in Gold and Sil ver, Xear Oregon Line. BURNS. Or.. Nov. 11. (Special ) Harry C. Smith, a former resident of Portland who for the past eight years has been a resident of Burns, returned last week from the new mining camp known as Dyke, situated in Humboldt, Nev., 33 miles south and east of Denis, Harney County, and Just 30 miles north and west of Winne mucca. The mines were discovered last June by two prospectors named Johnson and Vandering, who located eight claims that show free gold, the values running from $5 to $200 a ton. Mr. Smith and his associates have holdings in the Dyke camp consisting of the following groups: The Tullerla, or Galena, of five claims; The Wonder, six claims; The Portland, a group of four claims, and the Batavia, of three claims. The three last named are gold bearing and show good values. The quartz is red rose with brown hematite. The genera! formation of the country is dykes of lime, slate, porphyry and granite. One piece of steel-galena ore that Mr. Smith brought back from the new mines will assay $400 or $500 to the ton. The general average of this ledge for a distance of 65 feet is gold at $13.28. silver S ounces and lead 30 per cent, under check assay; total gold values $10,748. Mr. Smith comes back to Eurns to visit his family and to interest local capitalists in the mines. SUGAR' OTTTPCT IS LARGE. La Grande Factory Will Turn Out Over 50,000 Sacks. 'LA GRANDE. Or.. Nov. 11. (Special.) The new track of the Central Railway has reached the Hunt grade opposite Cone, and a spur for loading beets has been put in. This reduces the hauling distance from the Cone beet fields ma terially, as th end of the track is now about three miles and a half from the farms. Most of the Cone beets remain to be delivered, and the harvest In that locality has been postponed aa long as possible. awaiting railroad facilities. Superintendent Barnwell says that ten days or two weeks will be required to get all the beets to the factory. The factory has been running most sat isfactorily, without a hitch or halt, from the time the season opened. In addition to the fine output of beets, the sugar per centage 1s higher this year than ever before. It is estimated that the sugar output this season will be between 50. 000 and 60,000 sacks, or from 250 to 300 cars. The factory will probably run four weeks longer. BCSrXXSS ITEMS.

CROP IS RECORO-BHEAKEfl HOOD RIVER WILL SHIP 250,000 BOXES OF APPLES. Four Hundred or More, Cars Will Be Required to Carry Fruit to Market. HOOD RIVER, Nov. 11 (Special WEs imates made by Manager Shepard and other members of the Apple Growers' Union are that Hood River's 1906 apple crop will not be less than 250,000 boxes, or more than twice as large as ever be fore. The estimates are based on re liable foundation, being made from the number of apple boxes that has been turned out for the shipment of the fruit. Over 250,000 boxes have been manufac tured, but as some of them may .not leave the valley, all are not included in the estimate The Apple Growers' Union already has fold 90 cars of apples and has received orders for 30 cars of Newtowns that it could not supply. The Davidson Fruit Company and independent shippers have sent out many cars and many are yet to be shipped, the apples having been sold At the a-erage price obtained for ap ples of all varieties last year, $1.10 a box, this big crop means that about $.500,000 will come Into Hood River from apple sales this year. Apple growers call at tention to the fact that there are now less than 2000 acres in bearing orchard in the valley and that the next few years will see a very rapid development in the fruit business here. It will be only a few years when 100O or more cars of ap ples will be shipped from here in one season. It is expected this year that the number of cars will be between 400 and 500. The business of the union has increased to such an extent that 12 men are re quired in its office and warehouse, where formerly five were employed, and in the orchards 60 packers have been required this year. So much difficulty has been experienced in getting help that for the first time the union "is using girls as packers and a number of them are now at work. Efforts have been made in other sec tions of Oregon to get Hood River pack ers, but these efforts have not been suc cessful owing to the fact that there have been none idle. The directors of the union say that some means must be pro vided for handling the increasing crops, both in the way of packing and transport ing the fruit. The construction of an electric road on the west side of the val ley with a loop that will cover that part of it not now reached by roads is again being discussed. The business will reach such proportions in. a few years, it is said by growers, that teams will not be able to haul all the fruit to the railroad. The erection of another box factory here is under discussion in consequence of the increased production of apples. The talk about overproduction, which at one time disturbed many growers, has ceased. All the growers say that they are convinced that there will" never be a surplus of high-grade apples, particu larly for the export trade. This year has proved beyond all doubt that there never can be an overproduction that will make apple-growing unprofitable. Xew Cement Tester at C of O. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or., Kov. lL (Special.) There has been installed in the Government timber-testing station a standard cement testing ma chine, with a capacity of 1000 pounds. The machine is a neat affair and makes a valuable addition to the apparatus al ready in the pHnt. J. B. Knapp. the Government expert who is in charge of the timber-testing station is a very busy man. as samples of Oregon timber are constantly being sent here for the pur pose of being examined and tested. STRIKE A RICH VEIX. Large and Well-Defined Ledge Dis covered at Cottage Grove. COTTAGE GROVE. Or. Nov. 11 (Spe cial.) A flattering find is reported from the BOhemia mining district It was made yesterday in the claim known as the Big Maud, owned by Colonel W. H. Blair. The ore is said to be high-grade and the ledge is large and well defined. The usual degree of activity prevails through out the camp, and good results are in evi dence. The Oregon Securities and Vesu vius are in full operation, employing large forces of men. The annual assessment work for this year is nearly completed on the large number of claims held by pri vate parties. Activity in the lumbering business Is constantly on the increase, notwithstand ing the operators are unable to move their products. . The car shortage is se riously felt by the 15 mills In this locality. One company alone has about 100 carloads on the docks, and is simply unable to secure cars. This is the case, however, with a! the mills. The lumbermen are advocating the enactment of a law mak ing it a penalty for a railroad company when it fails to furnish cats within a specified time after the order is placed They contend that they are not dealt with fairly In the matter, as the railroad com pany imposes a demurrage of $1 a day when a car is not loaded within 4S hours after the time it is spotted. The railroad company, on the other hand, takes its own time and pleasure to furnish cars. With about $250,000 worth of lumber cut and ready to move, the lumbermen are hopeful that they will soon get relief. They are running full capacity and or ders for more lumber are pouring in. and if cars are not furnished soon they will be compelled to close their plants. WILIi BOOST FOR RAINIER. , Business Men Take Steps to Form Board of Trade. RAINIER. Or.. Nov. 11 i Special.) A public meeting was held last week at the office of Judge J. B. Doan. for the purpose ot organizing the Rainier Board of Trade. Committees were appointed on by-laws and organization. The meeting was attendee) by many of the representa tive business men of the community. They were all enthusiastic over the pros pects for the city's future. A proposition has been made by- Dr. Wiley G. Woodruff, of Portland, looking to the location of a hospital at this point, and it is probable the new Board of Trade will take up the matter. The fre quency of accidents in the logging camps, surrounding Rainier makes it a desirable point for the location of such an institu tion. There are five vessels loading lumber at Rainier at the present time. They will take cargoes amounting to about 4.000.000 feet, making this a very important lum bering point, second only to Portland. The English Duke of Rutland has th walls of one of hip castles adorned with thousands of horseshoes, the collection hav ing been begun centuries ago. Among them is a shoe given by Queen Ulzabeth and an other by Queen Victoria.
