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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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. "PecksnffTian poses

WOES OF A PLAGIARIST
A Communication on Borrowed
Thoughts in literature.
TROUTDALE. Or., Feb. 18. (To the Kdi

ment is made that H. C. Evans, an Iowa
editor, has discovered that the late lamented
H. W. Iongfellow plagiarized "Hiawatha"

sands of years ago. 1
Poor Longfellow, ho-w I pity him! The

over the past, I feel sorry for the whole

To would-be-authors and others who

have discovered that I have, with a fiw

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

this end I am going to compel him to ex
