PHASES OFINDUSTRIALGROWTHINPACIFIC NORTHWEST ? am race 12 T7 ri BAKER CITY WILL BE WOOL CENTER COOS BAY LIGHT AND POWER CONCERN IS BRANCHING OUT New Rate Secured to Boston by the Baker County Growers. MAY SUPERSEDE SHANIKO Concession FYoni Railroad Means That 2.000.000 Pounds of Wool Will Be Sold in Baker City During the Season. BAKER CITY, Or.. Feb. 23. (Special.) One of the greatest advantages ever secured by Baker City has come to it through the efforts of the Baker County Woolgrowers' Association, which lias se cured from the O. R. & N. a reduction in the wool rate from Baker City to Bos ton." The shippers have been paying 2 per hundred on wool to Boston and a rate of $1.75 has been secured. The granting of this rate means that nil the. wool of Grant and Wheeler Counties will be marketed in Baker City instead of at Shaniko. This will add l.om.noo pounds of wool to the amount which, will be sold here on the regular sales days, making a total of about 2,00O,0fX) pounds of wool to be placed on the market in Baker City. Instead of hauling their wool from Dayville to Shaniko over the mountains, the Grant County growers will haul to Austin, along good roads and ship their wool to Baker City on the Sumpter Valley Kail road. They have been paying J2 to have their wool hauled to Shaniko and $1 to have their provisions hauled back. Un der the new regime they will purchase their supplies in Baker City, ship them to Austin over the Sumpter Valley Rail road ami team them home over fine roads. The securing of this concession from the O. R. & N. means that a baler is to he installed in Baker City. The sheep growers have taken steps to secure one Immediately and it will be ready for the wool as soon as it is clipped. The money received for baling the Grant County wool will be sufficient to pay the local association the price of the baler. The Association expects to erect a storehouse next year. It now looks as though more than 2.000,000 pounds of wool will be in Baker City for the sales days on June 22 and July 11. The local growers have signed an agreement to hold their wool and the Grant Countv growers will do the same. Another advantage that will accrue to Baker City will be that the local mer chants will sell supplies to the Grant County growers. About $200,000 will pass through the banks of this city because of the Grant County clip coming here and it is but natural that much of this money should be spent by the growers in purchasing their supplies in this city. CLACKAMAS MAY GET CAXXERT Plans on Foot Tor Financing Scheme to Take Care of Fruit. OREGON' CITY. Or., Feb. 23. (Special.) If the present plans of the members of the Clackamas County Horticultural So ciety are carried out, Clackamas County will have still another enterprise in the shape of a fruit cannery. A meeting of the society was held Saturday afternoon in the Courthouse. Mr. Britton. of Kastern Oregon, ad dressed the meeting on the subject and stated that he had made a careful exami nation of the fruit acreage of this vicin ity and finding it highly satisfactory was willing to finance the scheme. After some discussion, it was agreed that the scheme was feasible and plans were made -for incorporation, the articles of which will be filed In a few days. There will be 51)00 shares of stock at $10 per share: $20.eno being preferred and $10, 0i0 common stock. It is the general opin ion that the cannery will be erected in the vicinitv of this city. air. Britton states that there are at least 100.000 boxes of fruit In sight for next year and also says that when the cannery Is in full operation, the value of fruit lands in this county will be In creased at least 25 per cent, while other land will Increase at least o per cent. xnh : "?"iih (J -- t.XA - w t v -1 jit t J KJ 5 FRVIT RF.PTiACES FORESTS Stumps Give Way to Orchards in Josephine County. GRANTS PASS. Or., Feb. 23. (Special.) If the progress of clearing up raw land and Improving it keeps on at the present pace, Josephine County, within five years. will be entirely cleared and planted to fruit. As an Instance of this work it may be stated that one country store In the Applegate Valley has placed seven grubbing machines within the last month. These mechanical devices do the work of several men. with greater ease and less expense. "Within short distances of town where heavy machinery may be used, donkey engines play a prominent part in pulling stumps and brush. They are superior to the grubbing machine for the reason they have greater strength and are easily anchored, by means of heavy log chains and as the clearing progresses the anchorage may be lengthened and tiie work continued In a circle. An instance of whether it pays to set out fruit trees on cleared land may be shown by the fact that a buyer came from Oregon City lost Fall and bought 120 acres with about 50 acres cleared on It and this Spring set out 20 acres to fruit and today he refused for that 20 acres $3000. The 120 acres originally cost him $X. Pullman JIas X'ew Department. WASHINGTON STATE COIAEGE. Pullman, Feb. 23. (Special.) At a recent meeting of the Board of Regents the es tablishment of a Department of Com merce was authorized, and will become a part of tho curriculum next year. The new department will be patterned after the most recent developments in this di reotion, such, for example, as the de partment of commerce In the University iff Birmingham. England. While it will Include advanced accounting, foreign ex change, banking, manufacturing, etc.. It will not be patterned after the simple business colleges, whose chief function 5s to train clerical assistants for the lower forms of commercial work. It is Intended to do for the college man tvhat the engineering courses do for the engl neer, or the scientific courses do for tne technical man. The work in the entire department will be on a strictly collegi ate basis. - v i JEW GAS PLANT, LOCATED BETWEEN JIARSHFIELD AXD NORTH BEND. MARSH FIELD, Or., Feb. 23. (Special.) The Coos Bay Gas & Electric Company, which furnishes light and electric power for all of the cities on Coos Bay, is making extensive Improvements. The new gas plant, located on the water front between MarshfielJ and North Bend, has just been completed, and, as soon as the pipes are all laid, gas for Illumination and cooking will re furnished to both cities. Heretofore elec tricity was the only means of lighting. The gas will be made from crude oil. which will be shipped here in oil boats from California. The Illustration shows the new plant. The company has also let the contract for a new $50,000 electric plant. The power houses now used are located in Marshfield and North Bend. The one in the latter city will be abandoned and the Marshfield plant will be used for emergencies. Be tween the two cities will be erected the new power house. The contract calls for four 16x70 high-pressure, 133-pound boilers, 26x48 Corliss engine and a 6J-cycle, 3-face, 500-kllowat generator. The boilers will be set In concrete, which material will be used extensively to .insure fire protection. The plant will have 600 horse power and will be large enough to supply the electrical needs of Coos Bay for some years to come. The con struction work is all done with a view to rapid growth and increased demand, and is of the most substantial nature. The company is using 19,000 pounds of copper wire to extend the lines so that all houses of the bay cities, however far distant in the outskirts, can enjoy electric lights.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Feb. 23. (Special.) A. R. Dcitrich, of the Rose burg land district, who has .been In this valley several days Investigating the changed conditions . in the Government contract for constructing the Tieton Canal, will leave for Portland tonight. Mr. Dcitrich expresses entire satisfaction with the situation in the Ticton dis trict, in which he and a number of Ore- gonians are interested In fruit lands. He came to examine the conditions here, after having heard that Contractor Weis- berger would lose his contract, and rep resents other Interests held In Oregon, besides his own. A letter from Director F. H. Newell to Congressman W. hi. Jones, under date of February 13, made public here today. states that there will be no change in the original plans of the Tieton project. Recommendations for the extension of the project so as to water 6000 or 7000 additional acres of land, sent to the head of the service by the Tieton Water- users' Association, have 'been turned down. Mr. Deitrieh also learns that the Gov ernment will expedite the work on the construction of the canal, with the probability that it will be ready to irri gate part of the 34,000 acres included in the project next year. ASHLAXD WIIjTj advertise Citizens Subscrihe for Extensive. Publicity Work. ASHIjAND, Or., Feb. 23.-(Special.)-Ashland is about to Inaugurate a new advertising campaign for the promotion and advancement of the interests of this city and vicinity. At a meeting of citi zens recently called by the Commercial Club the proposition to co-operate with the Sunset Magazine and the Southern Pacific Company during the current year was favorably received and committees are now at work raising a fund of $2000 with which to undertake the work. A large part of the required sum was pledged in a few minutes' time by those present at the meeting. Property-owners in two extensive sec tions of Ashland petitioned the last meeting of the City Council for bitulithie or an equally good pavement in place of the macadam which has heretofore been contemplated for these particular dis tricts and the Council will proceed to alter the plans and specifications. The largest district is the Main-street district and covers Ashland's main artery of travel for a distance of six blocks which it is proposed to pave from curb to curb in the best possible manner. The other district is Fourth street, leading from the railroad depot to Main street and this when completed will give Ashland a paved way leading from the depot for nearly one-half mile through the prin cipal part of the city. Building Brisk at Chehalis. CHEHALJS, Wash.. Feb. 23. (Special.) The Security State Bank of Chehalis has announced its Intention of removing the two-story frame building, which the Institution now occupies, and erecting in its place a fine $10,000 brick building, with stone front. It is possible that two adjoining property owners will unite and build on their lots at the same time, the Olympia Brewing Company and T. C. Rush. If these, buildings are erected the new structure will represent an outlay of about $25,000. The construction of John Garbe's fine new two-story brick block Is well along and excavating is about completed for a two-story brick to be erected by Bush Bros., the contract for which will be let within the next two weeks. ' Money to Boom Lewiston. I-EWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 23. (Special.) By action of the Lewiston Commercial Club, committees for soliciting the $000 publicity fund were appointed and the campaign will begin at once. The club lias recently been reorganized and will divide the work this year into publicity and promotion. The ones who contribute have the privilege of saying in which direction their money shall be spent. The promotion fund . will be expended in securing factories, mills and other indus tries while publicity will be purely exploitation. LAYS MUCH CEMENT WALK GRAXTS PASS IMPROVES BUSI XESS DISTRICT. If Baby Is Cutting Teeth P sure and use that old well-tried remedy, Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup, for children teething;. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays pain, colic and diarrhoea. Xew Brick Buildings and Paved Streets Among Her Substan tial Improvements. GRANTS PASS. Or., Feb. 23. (Spe cial.) Over S00 feet of cement sidewalk lias just been completed by the Southern Pacific Company In this city. With this stretch of walk finished the business sec tion is in good condition. No town in Southern Oregon is believed to have so much cement walk and so many, brick buildings within its fire limits. Some of the best types of brick build ings have been built and others are now under immediate construction that are a credit to any city. The Commercial Club, in order to give the town publicity and advertise ite re sources, has placed an order for 20,000 booklets of 32 pages each, for general distribution. These books will be em bellished In half-tone pictures showing the fruit, mining, . stock-raising, lumber Industry and tne various other resources of Josephine County. Following in con junction with this manner of advertis ing the city and county a full-page ad vertisement will appear in the Sunset Magazine for one year. Two thousand dollars was raised by subscription yes terday, to defray the current expenses. This will assist to distribute the adver tising matter .throughout the United States and Europe. And this is not all that is being done. The executive committee of the Com mercial Club called In person upon the Council at its last meeting and impressed upon that body the importance of paving Sixth street. So favorable was the mat ter received that several Councllmen pledged themselves to canvass the property-owners and explain fully the man ner of making the improvement and what would be the approximate cost. With all this work under headway, those in charge feel that Grants Pass will double its pop ulation within a Bhort time. The Council Is now considering the ap plication of W. H. Patillo for an electric street railway franchise. GREAT LAKES BARGE ARRIVES IN ABERDEEN r - $ v STEAM BAUGK A. . LINDSAY. ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 23. (Special.) Having covered 15.000 miles of the sea from Cleveland. O., to Grays Harbor, and with no accident, tht steam barge A. G. IJndsay, formerly an ore and coal carrier on the great lakes, now lies in this harbor awaiting a lumber charter. The Lindsay was purchased in Cleveland early last year by the Rupert Steamship Company, composed of Aberdeen capitalists. The lumber trade was then in its ascendancy, and freight rates were sky high and still going some, so the Lindsay promised big re turns on her investment. But she readies Grays Harbor during an unusually dull period, which suddenly fol lowed upon long-continued prosperity and must now lay here until times Improve. The Lindsay carried a cargo of coal from Ashtabula, O., to Quebec after her purchase, and then went to Baltimore, from which port she took coal to Sqn Francisco. She changed crews at San Francisco and Cap tain Kelly, formerly of the steamer Alliance, brought her to this port, where she will be overhauled, inspected and placed in the coastwise lumber trade. The Lindsay was built at rietrolt in 194, and is 210 feet long, with a displacement of 1067 tons. She is constructed on so entirely different lines of marine architecture from the steam schooners of the coast that she Is attracting considerable attention from Vessel men in port and others who take an interest in ship ping. The Lindsay will carry 1,000,001 feet of lumber and has some passenger accommodations. data m mum Colville Wants Upper River Opened. SENDS FACTS TO CAPITAL Commercial Bodies Complete Report on Population, Resources and Value of Crops for Dis-' tance of 50 Miles. COLVILLE, Wash., Feb, 23. (Special.) The Kettle Falls Commercial Club has prepared and filed with the Board of County Commissioners a voluminous ac cumulation of information touching the resources of the Columbia alley between Kettle Falls and the mouth of the Spo kane River, a distance of about 50 miles. This information was gathered to ac company a request to each of the Wash ington Representatives and Senators in Congress to aid them in presenting a thoroughly reliable statement of the re quirements of the valley as they exist today, with a view to the early opening of the Upper Columbia River. The statement, which covers about 30 pages of typewritten matter, recites the fact that the country lying on the slopes of the ranges extending six miles back on each side of the river Is rich and pro ductive In agriculture: that the mount ain ranges much farther back are rich in mineral: that the present population of the district traversed by the Columbia River is about 6000 people, and that the present producing facilities annually con tribute a value equal to $4,000,000. According to the report, taken as a whole, the valley Is desirable for horti culturea fact which is attested by the great number of large orchards of apples, plums, peaches, pears and the smaller fruits, which have been ln-cultlvatlon for a number of years. There are many orchards situated along the river in the neighborhood of Daisy, Bissel and Hunters which produce many thousands of boxes of apples as well as a liberal supply of the other fruits, all of which have to be hauled In wagons over mount tainous roads for a distance of from IS to 25 miles to market. Many of the orchardlsts turn off in this way from 3000 to 10.000 boxes of apples, and because of the lack of facilities for moving crops they lose nearly, if not quite, as much more of their products. In the south half of the Colville Indian reservation, which extends along the Co lumbia River almost the entire distance already mentioned, there are upward of 2500 square miles. According to esti mates, there are 1290 Indians upon the reservation, each of whom is entitled to an allotment of SO acres, or an aggregate of 103.200 acres, or less than 165 square miles, which will leave a very liberal re mainder for white settlement when the reservation Is opened as a part of the public domain. FARMERS HOLD THEIR WHEAT Growers of Baker County Expect High Prices. BAKER CITY. Or.. Feb. 23. (Special.) One of the strongest combines among the farmers around Baker City Is now In existence and It is practically impossi ble to secure grain of any kind. Here tofore they have always been anxious and ready to sell but at the present time it is almost impossible for the local deal ers to supply the demand of the people in Baker City who have stock to keep. The cause of this combine among the farmers or this section of the country Is the building of the Eagle Valley Rail road, Vhich will employ a large number of teams in the Spring and the farmers are holding their grain In anticipation of the great demand and the high prices when active operations begin. J he mind ing of the Snake River Railroad will also create a strong market for grain and manv of the ranchers expect to sell to the contractors on tho Snake. With the two railroads building they are almost sure to obtain a high price for their grain and to make money by holding It. OPPOSES STATEMENT NO. 1 Would Pledge Senatorial Candidates for Popular Election. PORTLAND. Feb. 22. (To the KriitmO T'ne recent manifestos of advocates of State ment No. 1 seem to ie prompted more by a denire to make a play to the galleries than a furtherance of the public welfare. Their attitude of diHlnterested patriotism, as self constituted conservators of the public politi cal welfare, aeems at variance with their real motives. They learnedly talk of po litical parties and how party policies Hliould be conducted, while advocating methods which are necessarily destruct Ive of party organization. They advocate the rule of ma jorities to Becure public approval while the ultimatum of their every contention is minority control. I Illustrated this fact some time ago as follow: If the one candidate of a party gets 40 per cent of the- whole vote, while the other party happens to have two candidates In the field who gets 30 per cent each or 60 per cent of the whole vote, then the 40 per cent candidate la a minority man. Neverthe less, pledge No. 1, as interpreted, would bind the signer to vote for him for United States Senator, fan any sane person assert that 40 per cent is a majority, and that the 40 pAr cent candidate should therefore be elected as the choice of a majority of the voters? Have not CO per cent, a majority of all the voters, declared by their ballots that they do not want the nominee? Who. in his senseei, will claim that 40 votes out of every 100 constitutes a majority ? All the deceptive sophistries and false pretenses in the universe cannot make the candidate re ceiving 40 or 45 or any other number- of votes less than a majority of all the votes cast, other than a minority man. He will re ceive a plurality, it is true; but do these disinterested patriots say anything of plu ralities? 4Not ort your life, the word is not In their vocabulary. They constantly talk and preach majority, but prove their duplicity by making strenu ous effort to secure minority, or at best, plu rality rule, for the reason, evidently, that the word "majority" sounds reasonable and (food and may catch unsophisticated voters. But. as a matter of fact, these advocates of Statement No. 1, when stripped of their masks, and compelled to come out of their ambush and discard duplicity are the only advocates of minority rule In the United States today. It was hoped that this No. I "brat" and offspring of duplicity, might possibly sup plant the old-time bargain and sale methods so common In all state legislatures when a J'nited States Senator was to be elected. But trial proves It worse than a failure, as it unerringly tends to defeat the very princi ples on which our Government rests, vis. majority rule. The favorite argument (?) of Statement No. 1 advocating that those who oppose their scheme, desire to return to the corrupt methods in the legislature of purchase and sale of United States Senatorshlps. seems hardly valid, when we recall that these cor rupt ionists were as largely made up from the ranks of those who now talk No. 1 as from any other class.

It Is irrational to continue the use of a prescription for the cure of any affliction, po litical or otherwise, when its use invariably produces negative and evil results. The only real remedy would be to exact a solemn pledge, and oath. If necessary, from every aspirant for a United States Senatorship, to vote and use every legitimate means for an amendment to our National Constitution, giving to every state the legal right to elect United States "Senators by popular vote, as we now elect our Congressmen. Of course the average United States Sena tor will not vote for anything of the kind if he can avoid it, but he 1s a good subject for the pledge fiend to get In his work on, If he really desires salutary results. In the mean rime, let no Republican vote for a candidate for the legislature who pledges himself. If elected, to forego his honest convictions and vote for a Democrat for the highest and most truly political office within the gift of the people. W. A. CUSICK. . WOES OF A PLAGIARIST A Communication on Borrowed Thoughts in literature. TROUTDALE. Or., Feb. 18. (To the Kdi tor.) In The Oregon ian recently a state ment is made that H. C. Evans, an Iowa editor, has discovered that the late lamented H. W. Iongfellow plagiarized "Hiawatha" from a Finnish poem written some thou sands of years ago. 1 Poor Longfellow, ho-w I pity him! The inevitable has come at last, as I always knew it would. As I look back, in memory, over the past, I feel sorry for the whole human race. Well do -we know that many grand thoughts, many witty sayings, many noble books would have been placed in the possession of an appreciative people coming from gifted pens, If It had not been for the terrible thought of this bugbear "plagiar ism, dancing on our silent graves, after we are no longer able to defend ourselves. Only last Summer I remember of a bright blossom " in the garden of genius being ruthlessly nipped, because he happened to Lester Herrick 6 Herrick Certified Public Accountants Office Wells Fargo BnUdlns Other Offices Ban Francisco; ... .Merchants Exchans; Seattle. Alaska Building LOs Angeles. .....Union Trust, Building New York 80 Broad Street Chicago 189 La Salle Street think the same thoughts and erpress them In a similar manner to some former genius. To would-be-authors and others who would seek an outlet for their literary genius I would say, "don't." Because if you do, you will surely be accused of plagiar ism, you can't escape It. Some other bright star In the galaxy has no doubt thought the same thoughts and used ,the same words that you would ue. While writing this I have discovered that I have, with a fiw exceptions, plagiarized this , entire com munication. A certain book belongs to our son and I am trying to prevent him from becoming a plagiarist by allowing him to read it and forbidding him to ever use a word that he find in It In his future twritings. Toward this end I am going to compel him to ex press his thoughts in "esperanto." The book referred to was written by one Noah Web ster, and it seems that we cannot spell cor rectly without plagiarizing him. This leaves Josh Billings In a class by himself and about the' only modern writer who is not a plagiarist. G. I. FUNK. Italian Sells Wife for 60. Baltimore News.
