WARMLY PRAISES OREGON
J. R. Patterson. Tells How Xm An
Keles and Pasadena Procured
Klertrle Hallways anil
Fine Boulevards.
BY J. R. PATTERSON.
Formerly of Pasadena, now of Tort land.
1 have read In The Sunday Oregonlan of
Yhruary 10. an intervlaw with Charles
JK. Henry, one of Portland's wide-awake
promoters, whom I have met since com
ing here. I came to Oregon on June 16,
I'.XH, just before the Fair, and went all
over the. country, up and down the river.
(Join home foifj Christmas. I told our
people If we had such rivers at Pasadena,
y we would not have to look for another
heaven. I came back to the Fair on May
in, 1!K)5. with my wife, and bought a home
on Portland Heights, where we can look
nil over the city and Vancouver. I enjoy
having people come and take a peep at
our Venice.
Mrs. Amanda Reed, who was one of
your most noble women, when I would
speak of our beautiful country around
Pasadena would always say: "'You ought
to po up to Oregon and see what nature
has done for us." And true it was. I
have thought many times if the Fair
grounds had been in our city they would
have been bought for a park, which could
not be duplicated In the West, as it had
such a green background and the beauti
ful lake; but we let such opportunities
slip by, and a few years ago we had to
rondemn tine property for parks and pay
large sums for it.
I see you have with you. Mr. Clark, who
. built our first electric road from Lios An.
geles to Pasadena. Afterwards he sold it
to Mr. Huntington. Then he and Mr.
Sherman built a road to Santa Monica
and 12 miles down the ocean to Redondo
Beach, and all the way It is built up with
small resorts, such as Ocean Park. Ven
ire. Playa del Rey and several other re
sorts. They have several roads running
out of Los Angeles, so one does not have
to go back over the same road if he does
not wish to do so. I am sure Mr. Clark
will do much to improve 'this beautiful
city, if the people will only help him In
stead of holding him up on every side.
How Railways Were Built.
I will illustrate how people down our
way wanted a road to Sierra Madras from
, Pasadena, which is about five miles. That
little plat raised $20,000 and gave rights
Of way through - great vineyards and
. orange groves. This has been the result
for less than one vear: tnev have nM
1 hind on tliA i.l v,. ."-i..
' mtn. naa UIH.V .51 per
acre for as high as J12C0. I myself have
unerea Mr. Huntington a free right of
way through my 100-acre vineyard for the
extension of his boulevard to the foot of
" ". "iicie iiir.v are ounoing
thA hririlal , V.-...... r. i . 1 . 1 . ,
s the boulevard that Mr. Henry spoke of.
.-vow, i am one of California's oldest na
tive sons, of which we have an order of
man- thousands of members from every
county in the state. We work hand in
hand, one part of the state with another,
and we try to make the people that come
to California feel at home, and treat them
with all the fruits of our land. When we
send walnuts East, sometimes a whole
train is decorated with flags and banners
on the sides of the ears. The same way
with celery and oranges. As the fruit or
celery trains go across the continent peo
ple can see where they come from. In the
Winter we send peas, cauliflower and
cabbages Bast.
Oregon Is our sister state, and we are
most proud of her and not a bitealous.
v e get minions or feet of her fine lum
ber and thousands of sacks of her wheat,
which contains more gluten than any
other. We mix it with our wheat, as it
then makes finer flour. Now our people
are mixing, too. and I hope will give us
a finer and more progressive population.
Let us work for one grand result hand
in hHnd. There is no reason why Port-'
..i.hi snouia not get plenty of our people
here in the Summer, and I think from my
own experience this Winter it will do
I hem good to spend at least one Winter
here. I have enjoyed it very much, and
.so has my wife. I do not feel the cold
n'ore here than at times In our own
country, but. mind, you. I did not come
here to look for the bad: it was the good
that I wanted, and .there is plenty of It
here for all of us.
Admired Winter Scenery.
, t took a Winter walk over the hills
through Charles Ladd's place recently
and I can say it was the prettiest sight !
every beheld. It was while the slider
thaw was on. There was the small lake
frozen over, and the ' green grass and
. trees covered with icicles. It looked like
Paradise. I had no idea there were such
tine views.
With a small amount of money spent in.
the right place and In the right way. a
fine boulevard could be built from Port
land through Beaverton. Reedville. Hills
boro. Forest Grove and McMlnnville to
the State Agricultural College at Corval
lis. returning on the other side of the
river. It would give a tine day's outing
for automobilists. Now as to Mr. Alns
worth's proposition for a boulevard run
ning east in like manner, that is a good
scheme, too. But these roads must be
governed by the state with restrictions, so
that people with other vehicles may be
safe. The auto clubs are the making of
good roads in America, and one wav to
build up your country is to get good.
I remember that when I first came to
Portland. Mr. Henry lived at Hlllsboro,
had a fine country home and as rich a
farm as one would want. He raised
everything on it. He worked hard to get
. the railroad to run Its trains in and out of
. Portland so that business and professional
men could have suburban homes In his
neighborhood. Two young men bought
homes near Reedville and improved them,
but because they had to leave Portland
too early in the afternoon they1 could not
hold their positions, gave up and went
back Kast. There were other people who
V wanted to buy small places out there, but
ilveided not to do so.
Would Be Second Pasadena.
With an electric line out through Reed
ville. Portland could have a second Pasa
dena, as the land out there Is high and
vel and very rich. A man after his
V..y's work wants to get where it is quiet,
and then he Is fresh for his next day's
work. We were in the same fix for many
Xars at Los Angeles until we had compe
tition between the roads that we have
now.
It will not be many years until we have
electric lines from . Los Angeles to San
Francisco. They are the coming roads.
Portland has an advantage over us for
electric lines, as It can harness mighty
rivers for power.
Speaking of your Oregon apples. T can
remember in the '50s, when we got all
our apples from the Willamette Valley,
just as good a fruit as your noted Hood
River apples. But California planted
them and the apples became too cheap to
ship from here, and people let them go to
waste. I went to the appje show that
was held here a short time ago, and I
must Hay I never saw it equaled before.
Right here I would like to make a sug
gestion. "A taste of the pudding is the
proof of it." I went to the show with
friends just from the East. Their mouths
fairly watered to taste .those apples. I
asked a man if he would sell a box, and
he said "No."
Now. if he will pardon me. I will say
that if he had given one-half of those
apples away, it would have done a thou
sand times more good than the whole
apple show did. My friends would have
taken the apples East and to California,
and would have shown their friends what
good fruit Oregon can produce. I will
give you an illustration. I once took charge
of one of the finest places in our part of
the state, planted with oranges and
grapes. The owner had gone East and as
it was one of the show places, a great
many people visited it. One day a fine
carriage drove up and one of the visitors
asked if he and his friends might eat
lunch under the pepper trees on the
avenue. I told him they could. They were
to take the train that' afternoon, and as
I came down the avenue, I said, "Let
me have your basket and I will give you
some grapes to eat on the way.-'
Advertised the State.
They put the grapes In the icechest on
the train and never took them out until
they got to Chicago. The father of the
man who owned the land asked me if
the visitors paid for the grapes. I said
no. "We cannot afford to give away fruit
in that way," he said. When his son came
home he said to me: "Did you give a man
a basket of grapes ?" I said "Yes. what
about it?" "Did you know him?" he
asked. I said "no." At that he pulled
out a newspaper and said, "Look at that."
There was a four-column story about this
farm, and how the Chicago party had
been entertained by the manager.
The head of the party had taken the
grapes up to the hotel and set them on
the counter, saying. "Look here, see what
I brought from California." The owner
of the farm was sitting there. "Do you
know that basket of grapes was worth
$2..000 to us as an advertisement of our
state." he remarked to me. "That man
was the editor of the largest newspaper
In Chicago."
So you see my Idea that apples should
be given away to people who are travel
ing has merit. Some of those apples
might have been taken East and they
would have been a fine advertisement for
Oregon.
Now. I want to say a few words as to
Portland Heigths. People must remem
ber that the natural trees are what make
the beauty, and not those that are planted
by man. Keep every tree that can be
spared when building a home, so as to
make the Heights one grand park. Re
member, I am a great lover of Port
land, but if the people will only follow
Mr. Henry's advice, and when they visit
California look for grand improvements
and not at the dry, dusty country, they
will find much to approve. Let us work
hand in hand for a grand West.
Our President, Mr. Roosevelt, when
he entered California and rode four
blocks on roses laid as a carpet by the
school children who wore wreaths on
their heads, said, "What a grand West,
and what grand children."
DISCVSS THE DAIRY HERD.
Washington County Dairymen Hold
Interesting Session.
FOREST GROVE, Feb. 17. (Special.)
The Washington County Dairyman's
Association met here Saturday with a
good attendance. It was voted to hold
the next meeting at Hlllsboro, March
15. One of the most Important discus
sions of the session was on the selec
tion of a dairy herd.
Mr. Stanton, who has built up one
of the good herds of the county in
the last few years, gave his experi
ence. He thinks the Holstein and Jer
sey are the two best breeds for the
dairy. The Holstein will furnish the
most milk, but the Jerseys the most
butter fat. He weighs the milk from
each cow separately at every milking,
and tests for butter fat twice a week.
He will not keep a cow that will not
yield better than 300 pounds of butter
fat per year.
J. Nichols, who has also been very
successful in building up a good dairy
herd, did not believe the breed was as
important as the selection of the ani
mal. He had a record of each cow In
his herd for a year and his poorest had
brought him $85 and the two best had
yielded $135 worth of milk each. His
best cows were now giving over 500
pounds of butter fat a year. Good
cows, good feed and good care were
all necessary to secure these results.
Snow Assures Heavy Crops.
ELLENSBURG, Wash., Feb. 17.
(Special.) If the heavy snow goes off
gradually crops this year will be the
largest in the history of the Kittitas
Valley. Baled hay is now selling at
$22 a ton. Loose hay, alfalfa, is worth
from $12 to $16 a ton in the field. Po
tatoes are worth $30 a ton. The North
ern Pacific, owing to shortage of cars
and equipment, is unable to handle
freight inward or outward bound,
causing thousands'- of ' dollars loss to
the railroad company and to the peo
ple. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Is making rapid progress in con
struction work, building tunnels,
grades, etc. It is expected cars will
be running in another year.
Improvements at Kalama.
KALAMA, Wash.. Feb. 17. (Special.)
Upon petition of the property own
ers the Town Council has ordered Fir
street filled and graded from Third
street to the Columbia River, a dis
tance of nearly four blocks. For a
distance of two blocks a fill of about
three feet is required to meet the es
tablished grade. A petition is also
before the Council for grading First
street from Date street north to the
nfll. a distance of six blocks. Four
blocks of this is low ground and will
require a fill of 10 to 13 feet. The
Council will aft upon this petitton at
its next meeting. Property owners on
Elm and Date streets are also ask
Ing for street grading:.

The Tillamook Creamery
Clover Leaf Creamery Company..
Total '
Mr. Haberlack, In his annual report of
the Tillamook Creamery, gives the follow
ing interesting figures:
Total amount of milk ' delivered to the
factory. 3.194, HOtl pounds, divided into months
as follows: January. 40.752 pounds; Feb
ruary, 53.142 pounds; March, 148,948 pounds;

pounds; October, 285,102 pounds; November,
149.119 pounds; December. 72.667 pounds.
This is a gain of about 20 per cent over
the preceding year, and in that year we
had milk hauled to the factory from South
Prairie.
Total amount of butter fat in milk was
126.S77.10 pounds. Average test for the
season was .03956.

March, 33 l-3c; April, 30c; May. 23'4c;
June. 26.3c; July, 2fi.8c; August, 26.7c; Sep

28.4c; December (estimated), 2Sc. The fac
tory charged Hie for making for each
month, excepting October, when lc was
charged. The yield in the month of De
cember was 12 pounds per 100. for which
factory received $1178.44, but owing to the
average test being over 5.13 for the factory,
the butter fat price will be correspondingly
lower. The patrons will, receive ft. 44 per
100 pounds milk for that' month. Average
paid patrons for milk for the season, $1.08.
Assets and liabilities of the corporation
are as follows:

tal receipts from making and stock sold,
and held over, $5659.41. . Amount of re
ceipts over expenditures were $672.35.
GFowth of the Industry. .
The amount of milk delivered at the fac
tory last year was the largest by far evei
received by it. and Is a good Indication of
the growth ot the dairy Industry of the
community and the county. Prospects for
this coming season are very good. While
the yield per 100 , pounds of milk (10.34
pounds of cheese) was probably as good or
a little above the average in the county,
yet in the latter part of the season the
factory put up a very firm cheese, which
lowered the yield for the season considera
ble. 1 think It would be well If we made
cheese that would be a little less firm and
yet not too soft. The soft cheese is liable
to get sour and rancid when put In storage
for too long a time. There has also been
a great demand for a smaller size cheese,
namely, a. cheese . weighing about 20 pounds
While we made some of these cheese last
year, we did not begin making them early
enough, as they were mostly in demand
in the early part of the season. This Is
the cheese usually called the Triplet cheese.
Ten. Per Cent Dividend.
At a meeting of the stockholders a
dividend of 10 per cent was declared, and
George Williams was elected a director
for three years; M. Melchior, for two
years, and E. W. Stanley, for one yeax.
M. W. Harrison was elected treasurer.

Principal Business Thoroughfares
Are to Be Improved.
ALBANY, Or., Feb. 17. (Special.)
Albany's principal business thorough
fares will be paved the coming Sum
mer. The contemplated improvements
provide for the paving of First street
from Washington to Lyon streets, and
Ferry. Broadalbin and Ellsworth
streets from First to Second. A reso
lution -has passed the City Council
favoring- this improvement and setting
February 26 as the date when citizens
would have an opportunity to offer re
monstrances against the plan.
According to present plans this work
will be begun early the coming Sum
mer and the streets named above paved
this year. Second street would then
be paved next year. The material to
be used has not yet been determined.
Albany now has no paved streets
and the proposed improvement Is one
which is generally desired. The ctty
is well known for its cement side
walks, however, and has more pave
ment walks in its residence district
than any city in the state, in propor
tion to population.

Replacing Its Lost Flume.
OREGON CITY, Or., Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) The Oregon City Manufacturing
Company has begun the construction
of a flume from Its woollen mills to
the Basin, to replace the one that was
washed out by the high water of last
week. The city water works will also
receive water from the same flume, for
as the water in the river goes down,
it will leave the old flume high and
dry. A motor is in place so that the
pumps may be run by electric power
if the flow of water through the old
flume becomes Insufficient before the
new one is completed. 1 '

STATE OF
ACTIVITY OH THE
Astoria and Vicinity Shaking
Off Lethargy of Many
Years.
CAUSES OF PROSPERITY
Revival of Confidence In Future,
Growth of Lumber Industry and
Prospective Railroad Develop
ment Responsible for Boom.
ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 17. (Special.) Asto
ria and the country about the mouth of
the Columbia River are awakening from
their lethargy of years. The entire dis
trict, is becoming imbued with a spirit of
activity and enterprise such as it has
never before known. Even the "moss
back" and his name is legion whose
habit has been to croak and throw cold
water on any projected enterprise, has
undergone a perceptible change, and Is
now almost a "booster" for the commu
nity. Already the effect is being felt in
the increased activity In the real estate
market, values have increased materially,
and-proprty that has been lying Idle for
a decade is now in demand.
The cause Is threefold: First, the deci
sion of the people to do something to aid
themselves in place of waiting for out
siders to come and make them rich: fto
stop the practice of criticising other com
munities and to unite In working for the
good of Astoria. Second, the certainty
that within a few weeks work will be
commenced at New Astoria by the Ham
mond Lumber Company In the construc
tion of one of the largest sawmills on the
Coast. Third, the building of the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad Company's
coast line, the extension of Its road from
Seaside to Tillamook and Taquina. and
the substantiated, though not officially
confirmed, report that the Astoria road
has been purchased by the Northern Pa
cific. Firm Basis for Prosperity.
These, coupled with the assurance that
work on the extension of the Jetty is to
be rushed to completion by the Govern
ment, the unprecedented activity In the
logging and lumbering industries, the ex
cellent condition of the fisheries, and the
rapid growth of dairying throughout this
section, have placed this city and commu
nity cm a firmer and more prosperous
basis than has existed in years.
Surveys are now being made for the
proposed railway line from Warrenton
along the beach to Seaside, and work on
the construction will be commenced so
that the road will be completed during the
coming Summer. This line will make
available as a Summer resort a ten-mile
stretch of the most attractive beach prop
erty in the Northwest, a territory that is
now cut off, owing to its Inaccessiblliy.
Lands in that vicinity are changing hands
rapidly, and at figures far above what
could have been secured a year ago.
Work on the extension of the railway to
TUlamook Is also expected to begin this
Summer, and, as the coast route has been
selected, its construction will afford the
most attractive scenic line on the Coast,
as well as open up and make directly
tributary to Astoria and Portland a re
markably rich timber and agricultural dis
trict. During the past few weeks, the Ham
mond Interests, which own about four
miles of water-front property in the vi
cinity of New Astoria, have purchased 200
acres of land adjoining this on the south
and abutting on the Fort Stevens military
reservation. For this they paid $300 per
acre. It is to be used as a yard for the
sawmill which the company is to erect
this Summer, a plant that will be one of
the largest and best equipped In the
Northwest, and will employ over 1000 men.
The logs to supply this mill are to be ob
tained from the company's vast timber
holdings in the Xecanicum River district,
extending as far south as Tillamook Coun
ty, in the section that is to be tapped by
the extension of the Astoria railroad.
Xot Officially Confirmed.
While the sale of the Astoria & Colum
bia River Railroad to the Hill interests
has not been confirmed, there are several
things which tend to substantiate the re
port. It Is known that a few weeks br
fore the announcement of the sale, rush
orders came to have abstracts prepared
at once of the title to all the property
which the railway company owns In this
vicinity, including the holdings of the old
South Coast road, which was acquired by
the A. & C. R. some years ago.
It appears that the origin abstracts
which were in the hands of Mr. Hammond
were destroyed during the San Francisco
fire. Several men were immediately put
to work, and the abstracts were prepared
and forwarded to New York 'in the short
est possible time.
Again, it is asserted that a few weeks
ago a contract was made between the
Hammond Lumber Company and the rail
way by which the latter agrees to haul
the lumber company's logs to Its mill at
a specified rate for a term of years. These
things, coupled with the fact that per
sons who are closely conected with either
DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couple's Experience.
How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry nearly
all the time!
Nature never intended this should be
so. for ve are given a thing called appe
tite that should guide us as to what the
system needs at any time and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal Into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite be
comes unnatural and perverted. Then
we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too
much, and there you are indigestion and
Its accompanying miseries.
A Philadelphia lady said, the other day:
"My husband and I have been sick and
nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking
cofree feverish, indigestion, totally unfit,
a good part of the time, for work or
pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat
our meals.
"We tried doctors and patent medi
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
"Accidentally, a small' package of
Postum came into my hands. I made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals has left
us and we feel better every way. We
are so well satisfied with Postum that we
recommend it to our friends who have
been made sick and nervous and miser
able by cofTee." Name given by Postum

COLUMBIA
OREGON
the Hammond or Hill interests have been
quietly purchasing real estate in this vi
cinity for some weeks, have caused a be
lief, which Is considered a certainty, that
the reported sale has been consummated.
This belief is augmented by President
Hill's oft-repeated assertion that the lum
ber trade is one of the greatest classes of
business, which the railroads are after,
and the knowledge that by purchasing the
Astoria road and extending it to Yaqulna
he will make directly tributary to his
roads the output of the most extensive
timber belt in Oregon.

WHEN PET JUDY DIED.
She Was a Favorite Elephant at
Coney Island.
McCIure's.
The sick animal stood with eyes closed,
head lowered, and dangling trunk, breath
ing quickly: but not a sound of com
plaint escaped the stoic. Her trunk and
her ears were hot, and her eyes twinkled
like burning coals with the fever raging
behind them. In vain the doctor tried
his remedies. The great trouble was to
get the patient to take medicines. -At
the end of the great trunk that could
alike uproot a young tree or pick up a
pin or a penny, there seemed a sort of
intuition which human beings do not
possess. She might be coaxed to eat an
apple, yet. when a plugged apple, loaded
with medicine, was offered, she refused
It. In time she refused to eat altogether.
For a week, night and day, ie trainer
had been with his charge nlrslng her
as a father nurses a sick child. But his
work was of no avail.
Half an hour before the sick brute died,
she gave a little trumpet and, throwing
her trunk about the man's waist, held
him and drew him toward her.
"Gawd, I knew then she was saying
good-bye, and I began to blubber like a
baby," Barlow told, me when relating
the story. "She held me close, as much
as to say, 'You've done all you could
for me. but . it's no use." After a while
I noticed the spring go out of the trunk,
and when an elephant's trunk hangs
limp like a piece of tire hose, you may
know he's pretty near 'all in.' A quiver
passed through her body. I saw she was
swaying and was going to fall, so I
jumped out of the way. One groan she
gave, then she came down with a crash
like a mountain, and it shook the entire
bam."
