12 THJ3 MORXING OREGONIAJT; MONDAY, APRIL 8. 1907. GROWTH OUTLETTO MARKETS Manufacturers of Willamina May Build Railroad. WOW HAUL WITH WAGONS Plan Is for Local Capitalists to Con struct Iylne to Connection. WiUb. the Southern Pacific Kail road at Sheridan. Tr Androw Kershaw, superintendent of the Grand Ronde Indian Reserva tion. wTto was In Portland last -week, told of the efforts of the citizens of the Yamhill town of willamina, to push it Into prominence as a manufacturing place. One of the schemes, -which IVr. Ker shaw says promises fruition, is to build a standard-gauge railroad from Wil lamina to Sheridan, five miles distant, to conect with the Southern Pacific. It Is estimated by local capitalists who have the matter under consideration that to build and equip the road for operation will cost $35,000. O. K. Kdwards. of the Willamina Pressed Brick Factory; I. C. Palmer, a lumber manufacturer, and Dr. Ker shaw, with the aid of other citizens, hope to finance the road. The pressed brick plant turns out about 75,oni brick a month, and the output finds roady sale In Portland, but the handicap to this industry Is that the product has to be hauled five miles by wagon to Sheridan, and there shipped by the Southern Pacific to market. The sawmill, which does a large business, has the same difficulty In getting Its lumber to market. Dr. Ker shaw owns considerable land in . and about Willamina. Among his holdings is a large tract of the clay land from which straw-colored pressed brick arc made. Willamina Is located on the Yamhill River, between Sheridan and the Grand Ronde Indian Agency. WIKamlna Creek, an Ideal mountain trout stream. Joins the Yamhill River at this point, nnd being close to the CoaBt Range Mountains, Is much frequented by campers and outing parties from the Willamette Valley. INTEREST IX FRtHT-GROWIXG Grand Ttond Orchards Arc Being Ijargely Extended. Lea ORAJTDB, Or., April ". (Special.) Grande Ronde Valley farmers and busi ness men are becoming enthusiastic over the possibilities of fruit-growing. There are approximately 1000 acres of bearing apple orchards in the valley now, and 800 acres of two-year-old trees. This year there will bo set out at least a. thousand nrrrs of fruit trees of different kinds, principally apples. The Parr-Iogan Com pany is figuring on a proposition to cut op a 130-ocre tract Into ten-acre lots and set to apples. It is rumored that Oliver Bros, will plant 310 acres to apples. The Grande Ronde Valley Fruit Company, with prin cipal offices at Provo. Utah, have pur chased through Ireland A Moore 434 acres near the foot of Mt. Glenn, which they will set out to apples and cherries. It Is the Intention of this company to es tablish a church and school for the bene fit of their shareholders. The capital stock of the enterprise is $600,000. and the directors are O. B. Suhr, W. L. Bleraach, A. I Woodlrouso, F. F. Steigmeyer and J. J. Nunn, the last named being resident manager. The Oregon Red Apple Com pany will increase its orchards by SO to 30 acres of apploe and cherries, with small fruits, for the first few years, between the young trees. Turner Oliver, a prominent attorney, will have an 80-acre orchard of apples and cherries. Several plats of ten acres are being planted to cherries. Sev eral dealers in fruit trees are behind with their orders and orchardlsts are becoming impatient at the delay. The GTande Ronde Valley Fruit Grow ers' Association was limited last year in the scope of Its usefulness by the fact that It was an Innovation in fruit grow ing and marketing 1n this portion of the state. Many growers regarded it askance and distrusted the motives of the pro moters. Since the convention last week, however, when the manager's report was rend, new members have been added and a spirit of trust and co-operation has grown up. The association was formed in January of last year. The objects were to secure uniformity in packing, to advertise their products, to secure better freight rates, and. In a word, to co operate Intelligently. WHITES ARTICLES ON" OREGON Eastern Publications Accept Stories From Pen of R. M. Hall. Extended stories In the large and In fluential Kastern publications have al ways been considered the best pub licity the state could possibly receive, and the fact that Rinaldc M. Hall, formerly advertising manager of the liarrtman lines, has succeeded In in ducing each of the several big publi cations he represents on the Coast to jaecept 10,000 words on Oregon this .year will be good news to the state at large. During Mr. Hairs service with the railroad he formed a very exten sive acquaintance with Eastern pub lishers, and their knowledge of his ability as a descriptive writer opened the gateway for the splendid work he will do for the state and the Coast. These stories will cover every Indus try In Oregon and will do much to ward Inducing new settlers and In vestors to this section. RAILROAD DOES AS IT PLEASES Klamath Lake Line Para No Atten tion to PnbUo Wishes. KALAMATH FALLS. Or.. April ?. (Special.) There may be Interstate rail roads touching Oregon that are assessed upon a greater valuation or that have greater trackage but none Is more inde pendent than the Klamath Lake Railroad, with a total trackage of about 34 miles, of which half is in Oregon and half in Cali fornia. When the Southern Pacific Rail road was cut in two by the recent flood troubles in the vicinity of Dunamulr and further South, the manager of the Klam ath Lake Railroad did not deem the mail, express, passenger and freight traffic from the north of sufficient Importance to justify dally mall service In accord ance with the mall contracts, and accord ingly instituted a thrfce-a-week service. Trains were run only on Tuesday. Thurs days and Saturdays, and accordingly the jucqsl& of Interior. Southern Oregon were cut off from transportation communica tions half of the time. The new Oregon and California Trans portation Company operating the stages between Pokegama and Klamath Falls had no occasion to maintain a daily service while tralne were not run on the railroad, and consequently could only en deavor to be in readiness to take care of traffic when delivered at Pokegama by tbe Klamath Lake Railroad. While the people of Klamath Falls appreciate that the weather conditions made the suspen sion of trains absolutely necessary on portions of the Southern Pacific, they were nevertheless Inconvenienced by the arbitrary action of the Klamath Lake Railroad in discontinuing operation of Its trains on alternate days of the week. This action prevented the transmission not only of mail from Portland but of express matter and merchandise. EUGENE WILL DO PAVING Contract for Asphalt on Willamette Street Is Let- EUGESE, Or.. April 7. (Special.) Eu gene will pave Willamette street. When, at the last meeting of the Council, the ordinance was passed authorizing the city to make a contract with the Warren Construction Company for the paving of Willamette street, it was contingent on the Willamette Valley Company making a contract with the same paving con cern for the eight feet to be used for the tracks of the new streetcar line. This contract has been made and the contract between the city and the War ren Construction Company has been signed by Mayor Wilktns and Recorder .Dorris: The work will be commenced as soon as the work on the oaxline Is be gun. The rails for the carline are now in San Francisco and it is hoped they will be here by May 1 so that the work can proceed with the coming of good weather. The laying of the pavement Is dependent on dry weather. The ties for the carline are on the ground and the work of laying the track, especially on Willamette street, will not take long, aa the grades are established. The contract with the Willamette Val ley Company requires that the line be built to the university campus by Oc tober 1. EXTEND THEIR ORCHARDS THE DALLES BECOMES NEW FRUIT CENTER. Climate and Soli Combine to Make Conditions Perfect for Horti culturists. The Dalles is preparing to take the Im portant place In horticulture that its cli mate and soil deserve. Small tracts have been planted in cherries and peaches for quite a number of years, and the qual ity and quantity of yield was always the best; but within the last four years fruit has been a special feature with most ranches in The Dalles vicinity, and large tracts are now 6et out in peaches and in cherries. Ample rainfall during the Autumn, Win ter and Spring months makes irrigation unnecessary, and sunshine and dry wea ther during the ripening season produce color and flavor that will make a repu tation for The Dalles cherries and peaches equal to that of Hood River apples. The Dalles cherries are found to rate well as to sire, and as nature provides wet and dry weather at the proper seasons, the fruit does not burst and will keep well In shipping. Royal Anne and Bing cherries grown here are found to contain more saccharine matter than the same verieties grown else where, and as the fruit does not burst or wither, there is very little of the crop that Is not graded No. 1. The peaches raised here, without the trouble or expense of irrigation, com pare very favorably with those grown In other sections, and with an equal amount of advertising will become as famous as Wenatdiee and Yakima leaches. The Dalles fruits ripen early and com mand the high prices of the early market Two local canneries consume the fruit that is not shipped in crate, and no part of the crop is without a ready market. The output of the canneries this year will probably exceed 20.000 cases of cher ries and 12.000 cases of peaches, besides other fruits. The land upon which the orchards are being planted each year was formerly devoted to grain raising or was unfilled and valued very low by those who did not realize the possibilities In horticulture. An acre of eight-year-old cherry trees will produce many times as much profit as an acre of any other crop raised here and land values are beginning to rise in rrronort Ion in tm a . - w V"lL-prO- duclng power. i-o show the faith the people have in the fruit Industry here, we have the fol lowing interestl no- st nfcn u . r .......... .. imui lUtS lO- cal nursery: There were planted last . lu country tributary to The Dalles about 25,000 cherry trees, 15,000 poach trees and lannn . .i ; . 7 , ' wmer iruus and nuts apples, apricots, plums and al- ...V...I.S. x iiere win De about the same number of trees planted this year, with perhaps a greater percentage of cherries. With the acreage of fruit Increasing annually. The Dalles will be a very im portant fruit-shipping point in a few VVt?'. It.ls upon thte Prospect, along with her flouring mill and other resour ces that tbe city will buUd its future greatness. INCORPORATE FRUIT FARM Eugene Men Will Engage In Busi ness on Large Scale. EUGENE. Or., April 7. (Special.) A stock company capitalized at $20,000 has been formed In Eugene for the purpose of growing fruits, owning land, build ings and operating canneries. The mem bers of the company are W. G. Allen of the Allen Canning and Packing Company, P. E. 8nodgrass. cashier of the Eugene First National Bank, and F. L. Chambers of the Chambers-Brtstow Banking Com pany. The Incorporators have bought the W. C. Washburne farm of 300 acres near Irv ing and will begin work by planting the land in fruit trees, the principal varitles being cherries, apples, pears and wal nuts. The farm, .as it stands, has 50 acres In prunes and 15 in apples. From this 65 acres last year enough profit was realized to pay six per cent, on the price paid for the whole 300 acres. This plan Is one of a number on foot toward utilizing the Bplendid fruit lands of Lane County and this section of Wil lamette Valley. Facts are beginning to Influence the people here In the direction of fruit raising, and the fact that Oregon apples are now selling in Eugene gro cery stores at five cents each, or 60 cents a dozen, will In time have Its Influence on the price of the best apple land, which now sells for from S to 1100 on the rail road, i Boom Times at Kioiuv KION'A. Wash.. April 7. (Special.) Railroad contractors are plentiful about Klona. The North Coast is quietly put ting on more men In the construction camps near here. Merchants report good business and the two hotels are both overflowing. Not much building is going on here this Spring, as no lumber can be procured and Klona has not yet started a concrete plant. Fruit trees are budding, and alfalfa a foot high is reported In the Klona Valley. The cool nights retard the blooming of the fruit trees, which lo cal orchardlsts consider fortunate. as there will be leas danger of loss from late frosts. The prospects are exception ally good for a large yield of tree fruits this year. DEPOSITS SHOW PROSPERITY Hood River Hanks Now Have on Hand $616,066. KOOO RIVER, Or, April 7. (Special.)
