12 THE MORXJXG OREGONTAN. MONDAY, 31 ARCH ' 30, 1908. Industrial Growth in the Pacific Northwest RAINIER BUILDS WATER SYSTEM ernized and a steam heating plant in stalled for the entire building. It is esti mated that tnow will be required for this work. Jt is the Intention to have the new portion ready for the. September opening. Lower Columbia City Will Have Model Plant in Short Time. GIVES FIRE PROTECTION IMpe-T.a.ving Has Been Nearly Com pleted to City Limits and Upon Arrival of Material Work Will He lynched. RAINIER, Or., March 29. (Special.) This city will soon be supplied with an abundance of water for all purposes, the laying of the pipes for the new water system having: been almost com pleted to the city limits. The crews are working In town at present digging the trendies for the piping, which Is being laid almost as fast am the trenches are completed. All the eight-Inch wood pipe mains have been laid, and the greater portion of the six anil four-Inch steel mains which lead to the city, and the contrac tors are only awaiting the arrival of the large cutofT valves to complete the work to the south side of the town. Owing to the condition of the ground at the intake, the dam c'annot now be built, but as soon a the water has dried out sufficiently, the dam will be erected. Assistant Engineer C. C. Brown said of the work today: "We are completing the work very rapidly, having finished laying all the eight, six and four-Inch water mains on Kast Union street, from Virginia ' street, and completed the work on Sec ond street and Arthur street. We also have the wood pipe line completed to the Intake, and are awaiting the arrival of the large valves to complete that part of the system." s Chief Engineer Orrin Backus say that the pressure of the new system when completed will be about 90 pounds. This pressure will assure Rainier ample flro protection, a thing that Is badly needed, for a the matter now stands the city Is almost at the mercy of Mies of any description, being protected only by the water-bucket brigade. Water for Are purposes will be here In abundance not later than two weeks hence. HEI1.MISTOX IS BUILDING UP Many Dwellings and Business Struc tures in Sight. 1IKKMISTOX, Or., March 29. (Special.) Settlers are arriving- at Hermiston, the headquarters of the Umatilla irrigation protect, so rapidly that all kinds of buildings are now used as temporary dwellings. To relieve the present con gested condition and promote the up building of Hermiston. a number of local business men have organised the Home ISulldlng Company. which will be in corporated at once with a capital Btock of Jlfl.lM. The company has already secured 34 lota In the residence district and all will be built on as rapidly as possible. Six cottages of the bunga low style are being started at once and more will he commenced in a few days. M. Dishon. of Spokane. Wash., is erect ing a livery stable. 50xSS. Mr. Dishon is moving to Hermiston the second largest livery of Spokane. Work on the First Haptist Church is progressing well and when completed the building will be a credit to the city. The Kastern Oregon Independent Tele phone Company is rushing work on the new telephone exchange. A temporary building has been secured for the switch board until the company can have a building erected. At present the com pany Is putting in a 100-drop switch board and have orders booked, to date, for over nO phones. MILLS RESUME IX BAKER Improved Conditions in" the Lumber Market Start Wheels Turning. BAKER CITY. Or., March 29. (Spe cial. One of the largest Industries in Baker City that was affected by the recent panic is soon to begin opera tions again and will give employment to several hundred men. The South Baker Lumber Mills have been idle for the last few months, but the wheels will be set turning as soon as enough logs can be brought down to insure a steady run. At the time of closing down, the Oregon Lumber Company had a large supply of finished lumber in the yards, and owing to the les sened demand for lumber there has been no necessity to run the mill. The Stoddard Brothers Lumber Com pany has been running its mill in this city all Winter, turning out about 40,000 feet of, finished lumber each day. The mill of the Oregon Lum ber Company at Austin has been run ning steadily all Winter, turning out a like amount of the finished product. Lumber conditions are beginning to improve noticeably. TO EXAMINE SOILS Survey of Klamath Basin Will Be Made. EXPERTS ARE INTERESTED FIND NEW APPLE DISTRICT UPPER HOOD RIAER OPENED UP. VALLEY Portland Capital Is Largely Inter ested in Mountain Seetion Where Perfect Apples Grow. FRUIT OUTLOOK EXCELLENT Chehalis Valley, Farmers Turn Largely lo Dairying. KI.MA. Wash., March 29. (Special.) Spring farm work Is not yet under full swing, the wet 'weather of the PH.t two weeks preventing any out side work to speak of. Cool weather has kept the fruit trees from budding nut to any extent, which is favorable, as the hlossoms, when they do come nit. are not apt to he caught by late frosts and killed. Farming conditions were never more favorable for a pros perous year then at this time, the outlook being far above trfe average. So profitable has the dairy busi ness become In C'hehalis County that a gret deal of attention is now paid to this branch of farming, and the weeding out of unprofitable milkers has been going steadily on and new blood of the best breedB has taken their place. In small fruits the C'hehalis Valley Is fast coming to the front and around Klma many large tracts ot land will be put out to berries. HOOD RIVER. Or.. March 29. (Spe cial.) Less than a year ago Robert Loomis, of New York City, and O. D. Woodworth. or Hood River, for several years president of the Apple Growers' Union here, purchased a large tract of land In the Upper Hood River Valley for the purpose of going into . the apple growing business. Today 100 acres of it, which have been cleared and cleaned up, are being set to trees. As a clearing feat this is looked upon as the biggest one ever accomplished at Hood River in the time consumed, and when fully planted this tract will comprise the largest or chard in the valley. Standing at the gate of the Loomis & Woodworth ranch, the visitor can look straight away for a mile over an expanse of newly-turned soil that has been swept clear of its vir gin timber since last June. With the extension of the Mount Hood Railroad, which will be made this Sum mer, the newly-developed orchard of Loomis & AVoodworth will be brought in close touch with transportation facili ties, and this fact Is stimulating many others in developing large tracts in that neighborhood. Iondon & Powers, of Portland, are this Spring setting a large tract there to trees; C. C. Walton, of the same city, is clearing 40 acrefe. and 16(1 acres are being cleared by Robert Liv ingstone. Alex Rae and Miller Murdoch. in telling of the resources of the Upper Hood River Valley, which have until lately ben little utilized, Mr. G. D. Woodworth said: While tills section in the past has been somewhat isolated, the new rail road 4 giving us a daily transportation service and we will be able to ship our , fruit out so as to avoid the long hauls by wagon. It has been known for years that fine fruit could be raised in the tipper valley. There is something in the higher altitude that evidently makes marvelous keepers of the apples, as the Newtowns which H. G. Richmond grew kept In a perfect state of preservation from the Fall they were grown until the next August, when, in answer to an ad vertisement seen by that gentleman, they were shipped to Torreon. Mexico, where they arrived in fine condition and brought a hish price. The season in the upper valley is not quite as long as it is In the lower, being about 15 days to two weeks later and shorter, but we believe that we can grow an apple there that will keep and ship to any market in the world. With an altitude of 1200 to 1500 feet, we have bright, sunshiny days In Summer, and cool nights and more frost in the Fall. The latter causes the sap to harden and puts the trees in better shape to stand the Winter. . It also gives the fruit a fine color and is undoubtedly responsible Tor its great keeping quality. "On a small place I owned there, I picked apples on the 20th day of Septem ber. 1906. that were kept until October, 1907: and they were perfectly sound and crisn'and were not kept In cold storage. "The large amount of capital being in vested In this section of the Hood River Valley by the Mount Hood Railroad Company!- and individuals will undoubt edly make a great fruit section of it, and we' look forward to see it develop as rapidly if not more so than lower down where land is higher-priced."

Through the joint efforts of the Klamath Water Users' Association and the Klamath Chamber of Commerce. and the personal requests of citizens of this section, a soil survey of the Kla math Basin will be made by a corps of son experts of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. It is very urgently desired by the oeople that the survey oe maae tins bummer, and assurances have been received from Secretary Wil son that it will be undertaken as soon as possible. It is also expected that an economic botanist will be attached to the survey, who will give particular atten tion to the plants indigenous to this lo cality. It is well known that there are sev eral valuable forage plants native to this basin, the development and transplant ing or seeding of which would be of the greatest value to other sections of similar climatic conditions where the ranges have been depleted. These plants and grasses are known by loes.1 names applied by early settlers, and until re cently it was not recognized that the. plants were native to this region and do not occur elsewhere in any great num bers. It is also expected that work will be started this season on the experimental farm provided by the Reclamation Ser vice, where the Department of Agricul ture will carry forward experiments in demonstrating the adaptability of the tule lands of intensive agriculture. The desirability of this land for cranberries, asparagus, celery and other crops has been well understood as the result of soil examination, but not demonstrated in any great degree, and the results of ex perimental station work would leave no question as to what can be accomplished by farmers. The people of the basin have been anxious to see the work taken up by the Government, both on the uplands and tule lands, but the area to be utilized that has been acquired bv the Reclama tion Service- is swamp land in the Lower Klamath Lake section and no assurance has yet been given that the upland ex periments will be started soon. It Is probable, however, that plans for ex perimental work of both kinds will be gin simultaneously, as land can be se cured at any time for the introduction of an experiment station on land already under cultivation and under the canal system, as well as for demonstration on the dry land above the canals.

FAIR F1AE1 i-YUKONJlO Thanks to that mighty horse-sense" public, whom, the great Lincoln said, no man could fool a second time, that public which in 3S years has never failed to back me up Ui my public exploitations, I landed Yukon on Saturday a splendid success an all record-breaking success. In a two-hour' trading clay 700,000 shares were sold. Never before in the history of stocks, even in a full trading day of five hours, have even 250,000 actual shares of any stock been sold by out interest. In spite of the great, good-natured mob. which trampled upon rules and regulations, and swept aside the extra police detailed to Wall and State streets, my programme went through on schedule time. A great section of the public now own the 700.000 shares. Another and larger seetion have been left belated. They will come into the market today and following days, and, their buying will advance the price to 10, perhaps 15, its actual worth now, and later to whatever price is justified by the splendid dividends it will pay. Never has any stock affair so uniformly benefited every one concerned in it, sellers, buyers, brokers and speculators. All classes have made money, particularly the brokers, who, because of the way in which it was handled, have made for themselves in one day's trading besides their commis sions $250,000 to $350,000, which otherwise would have come to me. "While Wall and State streets had a wild time of it, as they always must have when the great public, bent on real business visits them, it was such a good-natured, jolly time that their hats should be in the air along with their huzzas, but, instead, a section of both localities was surly at my success, as they always have been and probably always will be. These say, now that I am leaving Yukon to "The Street," that they will see that it does not go above 8 for some time to come. I should leave the stock to "the street," but the attitude of these growlers has decided me to stay with it for a week longer, to show them that to keep a stock in great demand at say 10 for the present even though it has all been turned over to the public at an average of 7, and even though they, the public, are to secure all the benefits of the rise, is as easy as it is to sell 700,000 shares in two hours when the combined efforts of "the street" cannot market half that amount of stock in two weeks. The growlers will see, too, how prettily a stock will perform for the public when the real public comes to town to buy it. I have earned out my programme to the letter, and the public have all the Yukon which will be sold to thein, unless, when it is found impossible to keep the price below 15, it should become necessary to let out some of the Exploration Company's 2,800,000 shares, which President Daniel Guggenheim has assured me will not' be sold but at much higher figures than now prevail. Therefore, I say again to the public everywhere, buy Yukon at any price under 15, as an invest ment, and I say to all who have already bought, don't part with any of your stock under 10. .1 ask both classes to watch the movements of Yukon in all the different markets where it will be most actively traded in from now on and to judge by its price whether some of us know as much about market operations as we do about talking to the people through the press megaphone.
