MARSHFIELD, Or., Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) Southwestern Oregon, west of
the Cascades, is having a season of
prosperity and activity never before en
Joyed In any period of its history. All
Its Interests are attracting wide at
tention and the stages and steamboats
running Into the Coos Bay region are
taxed to their utmost to accommodate
the passenger and freight traffic. The
old and staid city of Marshfleld has put
off Its coat of moss and has become
one of the liveliest of western cities.
The streets are crowded with people
who have come Into the country to find
business locations or to establish them
selves on farms. The old time citi
zens who had settled down Into quiet
and contented life have caught the
spirit of New Oregon and are among
the active promoters of the public good.
When the movement of population
into the Coos Bay region began Marsh
field was a dingy, little old city with
out any evidence of public spirit and
claimed about 1,400 inhabitants. She
grew so rapidly that in the last two
years she has reached a population of
nearly 4.000. Her hotels were entirely
Insufficient to accommodate the trav
elling public and from twenty to fifty
people were turned away every night.
That condition has continued until It
became scandalous and the residents
took the matter up In the Marshfleld
Chamber of Commerce and made ar
rangements for the accommodation of
the people In private families. But
this could only be temporary and the
dally paper of Marshfleld started a
campaign with an evident intention to
strike Are and with the aid of a few
enterprising men lead by William
Grimes, so stirred up public sentiment
that a committee of the Chamber or
ganized a company to build a hotel and
raised $65,000 in less than twenty four
hours toward a hotel to cost $75,000.
The additional ten thousand dollars has
since been pledged and the hotel will
be built at once.
The people of Marshfleld feel proud
of the fact that they were able to
accomplish so Important an enterprise
In so short a time. "The spirit of t'-ie
city has been fostered and kept alive
by the Chamber of Commerce which
has employed and has as its publicity
agent and secretary, Walter Lyon, for
merly 'Governor Geer's private secre
tary. Mr. Lyon has succeeded in at
tracting the attention of the people of
Coos County to some resources which
the people seemed to have overlooked.
One of these Is likely to aid largely
In making Oregon famous. Mr. Lyon
discovered that a flood of apple buyers
had suddenly come into the locality
and that hey were mostly from San
Francisco' and were after the Grave
steln apples grown in the county of
Coos. These apple buyers claimed that
the apple known as the Coos Bay
Gravesteln was regarded as a prize for
the reason that It was as nearly flaw
less as an apple could be and also be
cause it reached a remarkable state of
perfection on Coos Bay and adjacent
districts.
They declared that the apple ripened
in season to enter the Alaska market
before the cold weather closed the ter
ritory and that Alaska would take all
the district could produce. Shortly af
ter buyers for the Australian market
appeared on the scene and asserted
that their market was after the same
apple. On Investigation the secretary
found that the conditions for the pro
pagation of Gravestelns were unusually
favorable along the coast and the ad
jacent valleys and that the San Jose
scale and the codling moth were both
entirely absent. He also found that
the old apple orchards were neglected
and he caused a series of addresses to
be made to the Chamber of Commerce
on the Gravesteln apple which has re
sulted in a quickening of life in the
fruit Industry of the whole region.
Everywhere the farmers are preparing
to set out orchards and to extend
greater care to the old orchards. Land
which they have paid little attention
to has been shown to be very valuable"
for fruit and preparations are being
made to increase the product. Coos
County bids fair to become one of the
great fruit producers of Oregon.
There Is in progress at Marshfleld an
exhibition of fruits and vegetables
raised in Coos County. The most in
teresting feature is the Gravesteln ap
ple but other varieties are also 4n the
exhibit. The Chamber of Commerce
has offered a list of prizes for the best
exhibits of various kinds and several
prizes have been added by citizens.
Mr. F. B. Waite has offered $20 for
the best box of Gravenstelns for h"rs
own use. The prizes will be awarded
hy Dr. Wythycombe and Professors
Lewis and Kerr of the Agricultural
College at Corvalls who will be present
on September 16, when the selections
will be made. The whole county is in
terested and the people all over the
county are sending in their exhibits
to such an extent that what .was in
tended to be a small show window ex
hibition bids fair to develop into a
large fruit fair and may become a per
manent exhibition of annual recur
rence. Building on Coos Bay, In Marshfleld
and North Bend Is on the boom. More
than one hundred and fifty dwellings
are being constructed in Marshfleld
alone and as many more are said to
be planned. Mechanics are all em
ployed and building contractors have
their hands full. The big C. A. Smith
Lumber Company has reduced the price
of lumber for local use in order to
induce the people to build houses which
are sadly needed. .Three large brick
and concrete office and store buildings
are going up on C and Front streets,
Marshfleld, and several others are
planned. Six large saw mills have
been completed or are in process of
construction on Coos Bay this year
. with a total capacity of 450,000 feet
every twenty-four hours.
The C. A. Smith mill with a capacity
of 250,000 feet per day is to be sup
plemented with many factories to use
up the waste material and the company
says there will be some fifteen hundred
men employed in the mill and, Its fac
Piles and Cushman Promise to
Work for Improvement.
KELSO, Wash., Sept. 15. (Special.)
The citizens and business men of
thin place were hosts at a reception In
the rooms of the Business Men's Club
last night. In honor of Senator S. H.
Piles and Representative Francis W.
Cushman. The meeting was not In the
least a political affair, but was called
in the interest of the move for the
opening of the channel of the Cowlitz
river from a point above Kelso to the
Columbia River, a distance of five
miles. The distinguished guests were
taken down the Cowlitz on a trip of In
spection in the afternoon and were
to much impressed with the urgent
need of an appropriation that they
voluntarily pledged tHelr support to
such a move.
In the evening at the reception both
gentlemen expressed more than favor
able views on the situation and assert
ed that the next river and harbor bill
would contain an appropriation for the
Cowlitz River.
Colonel S. W. Roessler will be In
Kelso next week and upon his recom
mends tion will depend the appropria
tion made.

COLVILLE, Wash., Sept. 15. (Special.)
The Stevens County Fair will open, ona
week from today, and the greatest ac
tivity prevails at the fair ground In
preparation for tbe event. There have
been a number of Important, improve
ments made In the service at the grounds,
one of which is the installation of a water
system. H". Wade Bailey, secretary of
the Fair Association, says that he is be
ing besieged with applications for reser
vations and a greater number of privi
leges for attractions have been granted
this year than ever before.
The Agricultural building is being filled
with exhibits and the displays are be
ing prepared on an elaborate scale, most
of which will be removed to the Spokane
fair immediately after the close of the
Stevens County fair. The stock show,
Mr. Bailey states will be very liberally
patronized and a sale of prize winners
will be held at the closing of the season,
September 21.
k The greatest feature of the fair will be
the races. All of the 75 stalls are full and
a lively programme has been prepared,
over 50 entries having already been made.1
There will be J1600 hung In purses, rang

Big Money In Pear Trees.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Sept. 15.
(Special.) Walter Rowe. of the Naches
Valley, has obtained J93 for the fruit
from three pear trees in his orchard. An
other good, fruit story, which has been
verified by the production of the check
of the Thompson Fruit Company, is told
of Peter Bach, who has an orchard in
Fruitvale, a mile from this city. From
one acre and a half of peach trees, Mr.
Bach has made the sum of J2137, an
average of about J1500 an acre. These
figures are not really exceptional but, of
course, the smaller the orchard, as a rule,
the better It is kept and the larger the
returns. ,t

Pullman Man Discusses North
west Forestry Problems.
TREES MUST BE SAVED
"Washington Stats College Expects
to Train Young Men to Assist
Lumbermen In Harvesting
of the Timber Crop.
PULLMAN, Wash., Sept. 15. (Special.)
E. O. Selcke. until recently connected
with the National Bureau of Forestry,
has been selected as assistant In the De
partment of Forestry which has been es
tablished at the Washington State Col
lege. In speaking of forestry problems In
the Northwest and the outlook for stud
ents who are taking up tols new profes
sion, Mr. Selcke said:
"The Northwest presents about the best
field In the country for men with a turn
along forestry lines. In this section we
will probably witness the fullest devel
opment of the lumber Industry within the
next ten years. The center of this Indus
try will be the states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho. As a result there will
be many opportunities for students grad
uated from forestry schools.
"In Oregon and Washington about one
fourth of the merchantable timber of the
United States is still standing: there are
millions of acres of virgin timber that
have never been touched. It Is here that
the mills will be larger, and since the
trees are larger, everything will necessa
rily be done on a. more extensive scale.
The Increase in the lumber Industry, in
the Northwest, It seems to me, will ca-i
for quite a number of men who have
fitted themselves for that kind of work.
Furthermore, the rise In price of the fin
ished product will make practical fores
try not only feasible, but necessary. It
will become profitable to follow the prac
tice of handling the forest especially with
regard to a future crop, that Is, cutting
to a diameter limit, not felling all the
trees and leaving the land to revert to
the state for taxes, as has been the poli
cy of many . lumber companies In the
Lake States.
These companies would buy lands for
the timber at from $1.50 to $3 an acre,
and after the timber had been removed
they would allow the land to go back
to the Government, rather than pay the
taxes. The price of lumber has gone up
so rapidly that it will be best to leave
trees having a diameter of 12 to 24 inches
for the future crop. To attend to such
a forest requires intelligence and train
ing, and If the proper attention is paid
to the work another good crop will result
In a -eflnlte number of years.
"A number of lumber companies In the
South are following such a plan, and are
finding the practice profitable. Work of
this kind will give rise to a demand for
forest men that must be supplied by de

"The salaries In the Federal Service
are $900 to begin with, and the chances
for advancement are good If a man Is
willing to work and apply himself. The
men stand in line for promotionyto Depu
ty Supervisors, which position carries a
salary ranging from $1300 to 800 per
year. The salaries paid by lumber com
panies and estates that have timber or
control woodland estates vary greatly.
"Forestry is a new line of professional
work In this country. In Europe It has
been practiced 400 years and conditions
are well understood, while here we have
been pleased to consider our timber sup
ply as unlimited. As a result little atten
tion has been given to the reproduction
of forests. Now It Is necessary for us
to work out the problems that Europe
has already completed, and the working
out of such problems Is what will give
rise to a demand for men who are skilled
foresters."
EIGHT MILES ALREADY GRADED
Good Progress Made on Corvallls &
Alsea River Railroad. "
CORVALLIS. Or., Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) The Corvallls & Alsea River
Railroad is now graded a distance of
nearly eight miles south of Corvallls.
There are four small stretches in the
distance where no grading; has. been
done, because negotiations for secur
ing the right of way over that num
ber of farms have not been consum
mated. Pile driving is progressing
rapidly at Corvallls, where a stretch
of 1200 feet of piling is necessary as
an approach to the Marys River
bridge. This was completed this morn
ing and tho work . of crossing the
stream is now in progress. A tem
porary structure of piling is to be put
In so construction operations may be
hastened. It will give way to a per
manent bridge, the timbers for which
are already on the ground.
Ties for several miles and an equal
supply of steel rails lies in the yards
of the company, ready for traeklaying
as soon as operations in that line are
ready to begin. In spite of the scare-'
ity of labor and sits high price, the
road Is being pushed with a vigor and
dispatch that is surprising. It Is the
plan to get the grading for the first
25 miles done before the heavy rains
set in.
More Than Her Share of Trouble.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) Public subscriptions are being re
ceived here to assist Mrs. Joseph McKin
non, whose husband lost his life in a well
by suffocation' ten days ago. Mrs. Mc
Klnnon was left In the direst poverty
and the county bore the expense of her
husband's funeral. Three days after her
husband's death a daughter. S years old,
passed away, and four days after his
death, Mrs. McKinnon gave birth to her
third child.
Half a Crop at Sll-verton.
SILVERTON, Or., Sept. lo. (Special.)
Nearly -all the growers In, this vicinity
have completed the harvest of the hop
crop, and It is estimated that the yield
this year is at least 50 per cent less than
that of last year. Many of the larger
yards have not been harvested at all on
account of mold. Only one sale has been
made in Silverton so far this season. ' O.
L. Olson sold his lot -of 55 bales to F.
M. Morley for 7 cents per pound.
GEI5 NEW INDUSTRY
Newberg Secures Establish
ment of Milk Condenser.
PORTLAND MEN TO BUILD
Factory Will Cost About $100,000.
People of Thriving Oregon
Town Invest In Bonds
of Company.
NEWBERG, Or., Sept. ,15. (Special.)
Newberg has secured anothe? Industry
which will probably represent an Invest
ment of more than $100,000 when it is
put In operation. A short time ago the
Lopp-Peters Company of Portland made
an offer to establish a milk condensing
plant here, provided the citizens buy
bonds in the company to the amount of
$15,000. The offer was accepted, the bonds
being readily disposed of to the business
men of Newberg and the farmers In the
community In amounts running from $100
to $500, and agents of the company have
gone to Chicago to purchase the neces
sary machinery for the plant.
A member of the firm made a canvass
of the countrty in easy reach of Newberg
and easily found a sufficient number of
cows to Justify such a plant. The site
chosen Is on. the banks of the Wllllam
ette, which will give the company trans
portation facilities, both by river and
rail, as it is also on the spur running
from th'e main line of the Southern Pa
cific to brick factory and the sawmill.
A gasoline launch will be put on the
river to ply up and down the stream and
collect milk that will be brought to the
wharves by the farmers.
This Is the second Industry Newberg
has landed this season, the first being the
big canning plant now being erected by
the Weber-Russell Canning Company of
Seattle. Th.s building is located on the
main line of the railroad In the north
part of town, and when completed will be
100x340 feet. Construction of the build
ing Is being rushed by a large force of
hands and It will soon be ready for the
roof. Machinery of the latest patterns
will be Installed this Winter and the
plant put In readiness to start with the
first berries to ri en next season.
As a result of the establishment of
these two industries hero the real estate
market Is active and much building is
being done. B. C. Miles has just com
pleted a plat for an addition to the
town consisting of 16 blocks, one of which
he proposes to donate to the town for
a park.
The prune evaporators about Newberg
are all running on full time and as the
harvesting of the crop advances it Is
found that the yield is falling consider
ably short of the expectations of the
growers. The weather, however, is all
that could be desired, and the fruit is
coming In excellent condition, which, with
the top notch prices, combine to make
growers feel optimistic.
C0RVALLIS MAN'S VISIT
Tells of Enormous Growth of Poul
try Industry In California Com
munity Proof That Spe
cialized Farming Pays.
CORVALLTS. Or., Sept. 15 (Special.)
Professor Dryden, of the Agricultural
College, returned to Corvallls yesterday
from a visit of Inspection to the great
poultry district In Sonoma County. Cali
fornia. On his -way back he attended the
Irrigation Congress and Fair at Grants
Pass. Or. In speaking of his trip he said:
"The Rogue River Valley and Petaluma
are two separate and distinct propositions
and no better illustration could be found
in the entire country of the beneficent re
sults of specializing In agricultural work.
During my three days in Petaluma I
heard little talked of but chickens. It Is
field pictured above, the wheat yield was
lot of. wheat sold this season he received
the State ot Washington than to be
their business there. The lije of the town
depends on the chicken, and there was
every evidence that the town was pros
pering. "it has some 7000 or S000 population, and
they are going along year after year with
out fear that the hens will fail them.
The hens are kept for business, not for
show, and it would be difficult out of the
hundreds of thousands of chickens there
to find a dozen that would make a re
spectable appearance at a good poultry
show. It Is a question of eggs, not of
feathers, and they are getting them. Last
year there were shipped from that town
4,334,000 dozen of eggs, valued at $1,256,953.
In addition 39,838 dozens of live poultry
were shipped, valued at $159,762. There
were also sold 638,437 "baby" chicks, fresh
from the hatching machines, worth $57,
458; In all a total for eggs, poultry and
chicks of $1,474,163.
"This does not include what was con
sumed at home. Nor does it Include ship
ments from other towns In t same
county. There are1 other towns making
large shipments. .
"I visited Petaluma some four or five
years ago, and I was surprised and
pleased to note the great growth that had
taken place In that time. Farmers have
turned their whole farms over to the
chickens. Farmers with two or three hun
dred acres and more 1ft the poultry range
over the whole farm, and buy every pound
of feed that the chickens eat. The cows
have been sold, the orchards are neglected
and forgotten, and apples are as scarce
at Petaluma as hen's teeth.
"I spent my time Interviewing poultry
men as to their methods and photograph
ing their poultry houses and chickens.
"When I got to Rogue River I felt that
I was In the enemy's country. The peo
ple there talk of nothing but apples, and
I confess they are excusable. They have
a right to be proud of their apples, as
well as their pears and grapes. I talked
with an apple grower there who four or
five years ago' bought an orchard that the
farmer owner thought wasn't worth any
more than the firewood It contained. He
put his thinking cap on and applied to the
Experiment Station for help. The result
was that his orchard last year produced
$17,000 worth of fruit, $11,000 of which rep
resented profit.
"Last year $600,000 worth of fruit went
out of Rogue River Valley. This year
there will be more. That's a big sum of
money for one small section of the State.
The Petaluma hens did more than double
the business of the Rogue River orchards,
but that does not prove hens are better
moneymakers than orchards, or the .re
verse, but the lesson Is this: Special
farming pays."
Fruit Cannery for Montesano.
MONTESANO. Wash.. Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) Montesano is to have a fruit can
nery. At the last meeting of the Com
mercial Club it was decided to erect a
modern canning factory and have it in
readiness for next season's output. The
plan Is to form a stock company among
local people, with shares of such denom
ination that each grower can become a
stockholder. A committee was appointed
to go to Puyallup and Investigate the fac
tory there.
Big Money In Potatoes.
MONTESANO. Wash., Sept. 15. H. J.
Palmer, who owns a 40-acre farm close
to this city, this year planted seven acres
in potatoes, and his crop will average
nine tons or 300 bushels to the acre. He
has the entire yield contracted for at
$27.50 a ton. which will bring him $1632.60.
