" LOW RAIL RATES GIVEN District Freight Agent Malboeuf In augurates Campaign to Build Vp a Great Industry in the "Willamette Valley. Interest In growing small fruits throughout the Willamette Valley and the establishment of canneries to pre serve them is being fostered by the 1 Southern Pacific In Oregon. A cam paign started by the company for the growth of the fruit-canning industry in this state promises to bring about the best results. Under the direction of Charles Malboeuf,' district freight agent for the Oregon lines, a great In dustry in the canning of small fruits will be built up In Western Oregon. It Is Mr. Malboeufs plan to make this industry as important In Oregon as fruitgrowing and preserving is In Cali fornia. This can easily be done, he Bays, by encouraging the marketing of green fruit and the Increase of can neries in this state. Mr. Malboeuf has attended a number of meetings of fruitgrowers In various parts of the Willamette Valley, and his project ha been favored. He has promised very favorable freight T-ies, both on green fruit to the canneries and from the canneries to the market. Generous reductions have been made In the tariffs for the benefit of the fruitgrower and canner, and during the coming year there will be large tracts throughout the valley planted to small fruits. . "The present season." said Mr. Mal boeuf. "has been notable for one of the biggest crops of berries and cher ries on record. Favorable conditions throughout Western Oregon have made the yieid a large one. Within the past two years the people of the valley have planted large numbers of black- i berry, loganberry, raspberry and oth er fruit roots, largely with the view of marketing the fruit In Portland. "The very large yield this Summer exceeded the most sanguine expecta tions, and the Portland market was over-supplied. Nearly 1000 tons of cherries alone were shipped from the Willamette Valley to the Puget Sound canneries, as the Western Oregon can neries could not handle the crop. Encourage Small Farming. "Realizing the conditions, and with the desire to encourage an Industry so well suited to the climate of Western Oregon, the Southern Pacific Company Is fostering in every way the cultiva tion of small fruits and tha establish ment of canning establishments. The result will be a more extensive culti vation and the dividing up of large farms into emaller tracts. Many of the canneries that will be established will be built and operated on the co operative plan. It is the Intention of the Southern Pacific to aid in every way In the introduction of the best varieties of small fruits and to assist their cultivation by scientific methods. "This work is bringing results. A number of canning establishments will be erected within a short time. At present there are two fruit canneries at Portland, and others at Salem, Springbrook, Eugene and Ashland, and others have been started this year at Grant's Pass, Brownsville, Monmouth and Lebanon. The Salem plant is to be enlarged, the Eugene cannery has been Improved, and the arrangements have been made to establish another large cannery at Salem and another at Newberg. "All section of the valley are awak ening to the possibilities of fruitgrow ing in conectlon with the canning in dustry, and by next Spring it is likely that $500,000 will be invested In can neries throughout Western Oregon. "The output of canned fruits on the Southern Pacific lines In this state, out side of Portland, during 1906 was less than' B0 carloads. This year the output is larger, and by next year there should be nearly 100 carloads for shipment to the Eastern markets. Within the next five years shipments of tinned fruits from Western Oregon should amount to 1000 cars a year. Contrast Is Striking. "There is quite a contrast with Cali fornia on the fruit output. California ships 60,000 care a year of fruit prod ucts, exclusive of wines. Of this amount, 35,000 cars are oranges and lemons, 10,000 cars dried, fruits, 8000 cars, green fruit and aoout 6000 cars canned fruits. A large part of the fruit raised in California is grown with the aid of irrigation. - In the Wil lamette Valley there is no need for irrigation. The best cherries in the world are grown here with scarcely any attention. Berries raised here without Irrigation .are equal, to any grown in any part of the country. I am informed on the bestauthorlty that the California fruitgrower realizes much more profit from his canned fruits than from that he dries. "The output of green and dried fruit in the territory served by the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific does not exceed 1000 cars a year. With the pro motion of the cannery industry and the raising of large amounts of small fruits, this figure will be much In creased." Mr. Malboeuf says the canning indus try should equal the creamery busi ness In Importance in this state, and he is satisfied it will do so within the next few years. How great the cream ery Industry is in Oregon is generally known. It is interesting to know that Mr. Malboeuf had much to do with turning the attention of Oregonians to the possibilities of the creamery busi ness in Oregon, and he secured the location in this state of the largest milk and cream condenser now operat ing in Oregon. The. campaign Just begun by the Southern Pacific will be carried on energetically throughout the year, and It Is hoped to have many more can neries In operation by next Summer. General Manager Ridgeway Here. A. C. Ridgeway, general manager of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, ar rived in Portland last night from his Denver headquarters, coming in his pri vate car. He will spend some tlnjp look ing over the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Ridgeway says travel on his lines Is very heavy at this season. Trains are running In several sections, and to relieve the through passenger trains and allow them to maintain schedules it has been decided to put on two express and baggage trains daily between Grand Junction, Colorado, and Ogden, Utah. These trains care for -ui the local baggage and express busi- ness, relieving the through trains of this traffic. With three dally trains over the D. & R. Q. some are run in as many as nine, sections, on account of the heavy business. General Manager Ridgeway ex pects to visit Alaska before he returns home. First Street to Be Improved. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has made arrangements for the permanent Improvement of the space be tween the tracks, and along each side on Front street from Washington to Madi son streets. For the entire distance the part of the street the company is respon sible for will be laid with Belgian blocks set In cement. A standard-gauge track, of the heaviest rails, will be laid. Work will be begun on this Improvement either the last of the present week or early next week. While It Is in progress cars will be routed by the Second-street loop.

BOUND HERE FROM LONDON Vessel Has Been Out 18S Days and Is Fully 30 Days Overdue Made Flying Start From Channel. News of the Waterfront. Reinsurance on the German ship Slam, 183 days from London with cement for Meyer, Wilson & Co., has been quoted in San Francisco at 6 per cent. Under prevailing conditions the vessel is fully 30 days overdue ana anxiety is felt for her safety. The principal reason for the reinsurance at this time Is the remarkable get away made by the craft. When 32 days out from the channel she was In latitude 15:02 S., 34:56 W. This was more than rattling passage up to that time. The Siam should have arrived off the river early In June. At the time she showed up off the Horn It was expected that she would encounter adverse winds. It Is barely possible that she STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Name. From Date.

EXPORT BUSINESS FOR JULY Shipments of Flour and Lumber Are Good, Considering Season. While export business from the Co lumbia River was slow during . July, 51,900 barrels of flour and 4,226,089 feet of lumber were sent foreign during the first month of the cereal year. No wheat was dispatched and no charters were announced for new season crop. All flour and lumber went to the Orient. Lumber shipments coastwise were smaller than tor any month for more than a year past. This condition of affairs is due to the labor troubles and the congested condition of the market in San Francisco. Only the regular lumber packets remained in the business and some of them carried part cargoes of wheat. Otherwise the Coast traflc was heavy. Receipts of fuel oil have Increased to a large extent. The coastwise lumber fleet is as fol lows: Vessels Feet.

The steamer Alliance, Captain Olson, from Coos Bay, arrived up yesterday. She brought a full passenger list and about 100 tons of freight. The Alliance will not sail for the South until Satur day night, as several minor repairs are necessary. On the out voyage from the -Columbia River the Alliance picked up a drifting glllnet at a point to the southward of Tllla mook Rock. The cork line of the net fouled the propeller and brought the en glnes to a full stop. It required eight hours' persistent effort on the part of the officers and crew to free the wheel. Lines were run aft from the forward chalks and with the aid of light spars hooks on the ends were entangled in the net. The double winch was required to break the netting and the rope which so firmly held the propeller. At S o'clock in the evening the Ioobo netting had all been cleared and the the engines were started. During the entire time that the crew was working on the wheel canvas was spread on the steamer to hold her head up to the sea and pre. vent her drifting ashore. GOVERNMENT TAKES JEWEL Chinese Steward on Nlcomedla Tries to Smuggle Rich Ruby. The -Chinese steward of the German steamship Nlcomedla is mourning the loss of & large ruby which was confiscated by tha Government officials yesterday. An attempt was made by the Celestial to sell the stone, and under the smuggling clause the gem was taken from him and is now in possession of the local officials of tbe Government. The stone is what la known as a recon structed ruby and Is made up of ohlps re- cut. To the casual observer It la one of great value. It weighs nearly two carats. The steward offered the stone for $65 to an official of the Government. This was reported to headquarters and the man arrested and searched. Marine Notes.

A- negro tramp was shot by Brakeman Alton on Southern Pacific train No, 1L going from Portland to San Francisco, at 2:30 o'clock Monday morning, and was seriously, perhaps fatally, wounded. The shooting occurred 'Just after the train had crossed the summit of the Siskiyou Mountains and was the sequel to a row between the negro and another tramp. The negro and his companion, a Nor wegian, were riding on the blind baggage, and, according to the story told by the train crew, the white tramp was robbed by the negro. The white man charged the negro with taking from him a watch and a small amount of money, then tell ing him that if he did not jump from the train he would be killed. As the train was going at high speed, the white man refused to Jump and was stabbed In the back. Soon afterwards the train stopped and the Norwegian told Brakeman Alton that he had been robbed and stabbed. When the two men went to where the negro was hiding the negro again slashed the Nor wegian on the arm and made a lunge at the brakeman. Alton drew his revolver and shot the negro in the side. The Injured man was taken to Monta gue and was reported to be In a very serious condition when the train passed through that town on the return trip. Bank Swindlers .Sent to Joliet CHICAGO. July 31.

Macgregor, a director of the Idaho Falls Development Company, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, which has made such a marked success In the upbuilding of Southern Idaho, Is In the city. Mr. Mac gregor is a student of advertising and has spent considerable time in looking over the plana carried on by the Oregon Development League and the Portland Commercial Club, as well as those of similar bodies throughout the country. Regarding the development of the arid region of Idaho Mr. Macgregor said yes terday: "We are putting 1.000,000 acres of land in the Upper Snake River Valley of Idaho under water that Is, we have It already under irrigation, and more than 60 per cent of that In crop; and then Immedi ately south of us are three other irriga tion propositions which also have 1.000.000 acres under Irrigation, and all of this vast territory Is nearer to Portland than to any other Important coast city. Our natural outlet through the Snake and Columbia rivers, as well as by rail trans portation. Is to this city, and we feel that Portland ought to show a more marked appreciation of us. not only by working 'harder for our business but by getting some of the extra capital of this city in vested in Idaho irrigation projects, for Idaho is the irrigation state, and in that department of advancement has thrown dust in the faces of California, Utah, Col orado and all the balance of the states. In fact, Idaho is so decidedly a leader in irrigation that she today has more acres under water than both California and Colorado combined, or more than Mon tana, Utah and Arizona combined. We are not going to be so impolite as to make a comparison with Oregon or your sister state of Washington. "Idaho raises fancy apples, grapes and other crops, as well as the staples. Her alfalfa crop Is larger than that of any other state In the Union, and at the pres ent time the state has more than 3,000,000 acres of irrigated lands. "Idaho for a market is worth ten times as much to Portland as all the business this city will ever get from Alaska and Hawaii combined, and this trade comes from a stable, home-owning population, which will continue to Increase for many years to come." EXHIBITION OF ART METAL Beautiful Specimens of Jeweler's Craft Shown by Miss Watklns. A clever and interesting exhibition was given yesterday afternoon at the School of Metal Work by Miss Watklns, of Cleveland, Ohio,1 who for two months past has given Instructions In designing at the Administration building of the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds.
