i 13 TIIE MORNING OREGOyiAX, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1903. , 111, il PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST CLEAR LANDS BY HELP OF ENGINE Novel "Logging-Off" Method Has Proved Great Success in Tillamook County. GREAT FIRE MARKS FINISH One Handier Estimates Cost of Clearing at $25 an Acre and Reports First Year's Crop Brings $40 an Acre. TILLAMOOK. Or.. Auk. 23. (Special.) Strannera coming from the valley Into Tillamook never fall to express wonder at the huge plies of logs that they see stacked up mountaln-nign around some tall spruce at frequent in terval AlonE the road. The logs and snags are g-athered In these Immense plies by the donkey en gines', and one pile represents the clear ing of five or six or even seven acres. Usually a pile reaches to a height of 0 or 100 feet, but It is no uncommon oc rurrence to see one plied up 125 feet. tvhen one of these Immense stacks of logs Is completed. It Is left to dry out for several months, after which a torch Is applied, and up It goes In a glorious blaze, illuminating the neighborhood : around for miles. The seething mass continues to blaze up for a day or more, after which the fire gradually dimin ishes, and then smoulders for weeks after. Advent of Donkey Engine. It Is only two years ago that the donkey engine first made Its advent Into Tillamook County. One enterpris ing and rather daring rancher con ceived this novel scheme of clearing land, but others less bold held back and predicted the failure of the under taking. Nothing daunted, the rancher went ahead. He secured a donkey en gine at a heavy expense nearly one third more than It would cost in any of the Valley towns. Regarding the success of the enterprise. It need but be pointed out that today there are 11 of these Immense labor-saving ma chines at work In the county, and that six of them are almost In the Immediate vicinity of Tillamook City. How Clearing Is Done. In clearing land with one of these engines, first a staunch spruce i se lected, around which to pile the logs, and then the donkey engine Is stationed at a distance of between 200 and 300 feet from the tree. A very knotty prob lem which then presents Itself Is that of getting the cable and pulley fastened up in the tree. It Is necessary to place It some 150 feet up, and as the tree elected Is usually barren of limbs for the lower half, to climb it with a rope In tow is no small matter. Some follow out the plan of first shooting the cable over a limb, much the same as a life line Is shot out to a stranded ship. The work of clearing then begins, the logs having first been cut Into short lengths. An engine crew consists of five men: engineer, fireman, signal man. hook tender and rig-slinger. The duty of these two last Is to fasten logs and stumps to the cable hoisting them up and upon giving the word to the signal man. that individual, by means of a wire connected with the engine which he continually holds In his hand. Mows the particular signal by which the engi neer Is governed. Holding the tree up from two sides are two strong cables and viewed from a distance It presents much the appearance of the mast of some large tramp steamer. Time Required Varies. It would be hard to say how long It takes to clear an acre by this method for the reason that some land Is not as densely wooded as others; and then one or two particularly hard stumps may make a difference of an entire day. Ordinarily, though. It would be a con servative estimate to put the time for clearing an acre at three days. Last week Oust Wickland. who owns a farm one mile north of town, cleared three acres In one day by this method. The cost also varies greatly, running all the way from $23 to 100. M. Melcholr, one of Tillamook's pros perous dairymen, who owns a farm less than a half-mile outside of Tillamook City, makes the following statement: "It cost Ttie about $100 an acre to clear 2S acres last Fall. On this land I have just reaped a crop of fully four tons of grain hay to the acre. Figur ing this at $10 per ton, I have $40 per acre. I am now putting in clover and grass, and the yield will be even great er. Besides this. I have pasture on the land during the entire Winter. So you see that In two years or perhaps a little longer the returns from the land will pay for the clearing." Mr. Melcholr came to Tillamook 10 years ago, and bought 80 acres of land at $50 per acre. Today he could get $300 an acre for the greater portion of It. The land of Tillamook County Ilea mostly In valleys, and Is perhaps the most fertile In the world. It Is largely sediment deposited there ages ago. At one time It formed the bed of the ocean, and then, as the waters receded. It gradually was covered by a bay, and then became mud flats and tideland in succession, until today It Is what is known as bottom land. Tillamook land Is green all the year around. It would indeed be hard to Imagine a soil more fertile or productive. WILL DREDGE FOR GOLD Boston Company to Operate on Payette River, Idaho. BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 23. (Special Cor respondence.) The Boston & Idaho Dredging Company is pushing work preliminary to installing electric gen erating stations on the Payette River, and many mechanics and laborers are now employed by the company. The idea of the company Is not only to har ness the waters of this river for electric purposes, but also to saw the standing timber along the stream into lumber. A mammoth dredging machine has been shipped from Oroville, Cal., and this will be used to dredge the sands In the riverbed for flour gold, of which there is a great quantity in this part of the state, especially along the riv ers. At the present time there are numerous dredging machines in opera tion, and they will probably pan out thousands of dollars' worth of the gold this year.

(Special.) The first story of the Elks Temple has been completed and work has been commenced on the second story of the big structure. The front of the building Is being finished In different colored pressed brick and pre sents a very attractive appearance. The present stage of the work shows that the building,' which covers a quarter diock at First and Lyon streets, will be one of Albany's best business blocks. It Is expected that the building will be com nlptpri bv October 1. The lower floor of the structure has been divided into three large storerooms. The room on the corner, which covers half of the floor, 'has been leased to Chambers & McCune, a ladies' furnishing house, ana the two other rooms, each occupying a Quarter of the lower floor, have been leased respectively to the Albany Cigar Factory, and the Toggery, a gentlemen a furnishing store. The entire second floor will be used by the Albany Lodge of Elks, the main part of the floor being used as a lodge hall and the remainder fitted up into splendid clubrooms for the use of the members of the lodge. The Elks now have the largest lodge in Albany, and the growth of the order in this city the past year was so great that it attracted special mention at the recent grand lodge of the order in Dallas, Tex. PREPARE TO PICK PRUNES Douglas County Growers Increase Their Facilities. ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 23. (Special Prunegrowers of Douglas County are fin ishing the work of getting ready to take care of the coming crop, a great many of the growers building additional driers, and some of them who have heretofore usea their neighbors' driers to take care of their crop, are this year erecting their own buildings. The heavy frosts in the early Spring will cause the yield to be slightly less than that of last year, but at the present price of prunes the growers will receive more money than they am last year. A great many contracts at five cents have already been written In the county, and as the growers received on an aver age of but four and one-half cents for their product last year, the one-half cent on 8,000.000 pounds of dried fruit, the amount expected to be shipped from the county, will more than make up for the slight shortage in the yield. Plan to Reclaim Desert Waste. BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 23. (Special.) E. G. Eagleson. ex-Surveyor-General of the Idaho District, has proposed a plan to the United States Reclamation Serv ice by which an additional 10,000 acres can be irrigated under the Payette Boise project, by pumping water from the Boise River to the land at an ele vation of 120 feet. The Payette-Boise project, which will irrigate about 400,000 acres, is about completed, and will deliver water next Spring. Building in Centralia. CEN'TRALIA, Wash., Aug. 23. (Spe cial.)

The annual crop of Rogue River watermelons has begun to move. The first of them are of fine quality, and uniform size. Shippers load the melons In cars for transportation very much like brewers do in packing a car with beer bottles. The melons of this valley are well adapted to shipping, and can be quickly plied Into the cars, tier after tier. A few years ago this method was not used, but the melons were promiscu ously piled, and the shipper very fre quently found considerable loss from the settling of the melons and from shifting in transportation. This year tight cars are being used, and the win dows and cracks nailed up. Experience has proven that many melons are often plugged and carved while en route by the use of a Jack knife and long-handled spoon, at every station where the car might stop, and during the season many melons have been spoiled In this way by boys who are lying in wait and note the arrival of the car upon it entering the yards.

GOVERNOR AT COOS BAY Chamberlain Goes South to Attend J Development Conference. Governor Chamberlain sailed Saturday night on the steamer Alliance for Coos Bay, where he will attend the loth annual fair of the Second Southern Oregon Dis trict Agricultural Society. He will also attend the Southern and Central Oregon and Idaho DeveloDment Congress, which will meet there during the week. The objects of the gathering on Coos Bay are to plan ways Tor the develop ment of that section of the state in Irri gation, roadbullding. agriculture, mining, lumbering and all the other activities of the district. The opening of seaports and establishment of transportation lines will also be considered and ways and means discussed to better the facilities in all these lines. Later this week W. H. Wehrung and M. D. Wisdom will also visit Coos Bay to secure native woods for the furnishing of the Oregon building at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition. It Is the intention to finish the building and have the furniture made of native Oregon woods. There Is an abundance of these woods most suit able for finishing on Coos Bay. and there are convenient plants on Coos Bay for turning out the lumber needed by the Ore gon Commission. PETITIONS FOR NEW ROAD Would Reduce Time Between Tilla mook and Portland. TILLAMOOK, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.) Fred C. Skomp has filed a petition with the County Court In favor of a new county road through a pass, which would bring this city within 3o miles of Gaston, 36 miles of Forest Grove, and 53 miles of Portland. Ho sets forth that by the new route Tillamook people could get mail to Portland and return in 22Vi hours, while "Portland people could do the same in 12 hours. At present it takes citizens of Portland 60 hours to get a return mall from Tillamook, and Tillamook people 64 hours. By this route, Mr. Skomp con tends, the Government would save J2000 each year on its mail. It would require the building of only about eight miles of new road within Tillamook County, and only about ten miles within Washington County to connect with the county road In Washington County, and would be by far the shortest and most direct route from Tillamook City to Portland that could be built on a suitable grade. This road, being a direct route to Portland, would open up to settlement hundreds of farms which could be made quite prof itable if set out to fruit and nuts. IDAHO YIELD IS ABUNDANT Wheat Harvest Produces Heavy Golden Shower. LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 23. (Spe cial.) Daniles & Wallace, the Tam many ranchers, have Just completed harvesting 4000 acres. Within a week they will have close to 120,000 bushels either in the stack or the sack. Seattle representatives of Coast mill men have arrived and are now negoti ating for the purchase of the pool of wheat held by farmers in the Lewiston Flat section of Asotin County, Wash. It is stated that 81 cents a bushel for the No. 1 grades is being offered. In the Culdesac section, the harvest has been carried to such a point that there is no possibility of any loss whatever in case bad weather should develop. Mendota, Xew Lewis County Town. CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. 23 (Spe cial.) Mendota is the name of the new town being established by the Mendota Coal & Coke Company. Work Is being rapidly pushed on the railroad, and steel is being put down at the rate of half a mlde per day, Mendota will be the terminus of the Centralia Eastern Railroad, connecting the new town with Centralia. Large coal mines are being developed and the coal is of good qual ity. Plats Addition to Lebanon. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.)

LINN COUNTY EGG CROP 1610 Shipments for Past Fiscal Year Total 670,000 Dozen. FARMERS RECEIVE $127,000 Thousands of Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks and Geese Are Also Ex ported to Markets of X'orth west High Prices Prevail. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 23. (Special.) Linn County exports an eighth of a million dollars' worth of eggs annually. In the past fiscal year local shippers sent 670, 000 dozens to the markets of the North west. The business Is growing rapidly and ere long a cackling hen will of right adorn the Industrial escutcheon of Linn County. This county's colossal shipment of 8,040,000 eggs in the past year would make an omelet for all of the peopl residing in the states west of th Rocky Mountains. All of the inhab Hants of St. Louis, Baltimore, Cleve land, Buffalo, San Francisco, Cincln natl, Pittsburg, New Orleans, Detroit, Milwaukee and Washington, D. C, com bined. could sit down to breakfast to gether and each have two fried egg from Linn County a shipment In th past 12 months. If placed end to end the i.040,000 eggs forming this record-breaking shipment would reach across the State of Oregon from north to south. That Linn County exported 670,000 dozen eggs in one year seems startling even to local people, for the growth of the egg-shipping business to such colossal proportions has not been realized. The statistics stagger even many of the people who handle th eggs and have never computed the county's total. But the figures an based on reliable estimates furnished by shippers in each of the towns of the county and on reports made to Manager Dasent, of the Albany Com mercial Club. Nor do the figures include the eggd consumed at home or sold in local mar kets. They represent only those which have actually been shipped to outside markets. Estimating that the 25,000 people of Llni County eat at .least 8,000,000 eggs in a year, it Is seen that Linn County hens must have laid more than-16,000,000 eggs during the past 12 months. Exports From Cities. The City of Albany alone exported approximately 150,000 dozen eggs to the big markets of the Northwest from August 1, 1907, to August 1, 1908 These eggs were all secured from the poultrymen and farmers In the country tributary to this city and the figures quoted represent only those actually shipped from Albany. They do not in clude the big shipments sent out by other Linn County towns and which pass through here on their way to the Portland and Seattle markets and are transferred at the local depot. Lebanon, tho second city of the county, exports almost as many eggs as the county seat. Besides being the market for a large section of fertile farming country, it is the railroad point for Waterloo, Sodavllle, Sweet Home and Foster, and handled 125,000 dozens of eggs during the past fiscal year. There is probably no other town in the Pacific Northwest of similar size which exports so many eggs as Lebanon. In spite ot the fact that it is two miles from a railroad. Sclo, which 1 the leading town of the rich agricul tural country known as the "forks of the Santlam," handles 72,000 dozen eggs year. Brownsville, the third city in size in the county, while it leads in many industries, is excelled by a num ber of much smaller towns in egg ship ments, but it exported approximately 40,003 dozen last year. The towns along the main line of the Southern Pacific, which traverses the prairies in the western part of the county, all make heavy egg shipments. The little town of Halsey, market for one of the best farming sections of the state, made a record of 80,000 dozens during the past year. Harrisburg. ex ported exactly 36,820 dozens in 1907. and Tangent, though it is but six miles south of Albany, handled 50,000 dozens In the past fiscal year. Shedds export ed about 70,000 dozens. Of this amount merchants of the town handled almost 45,000 dozens, and 17.500 dozens came from Peoria, which is on the Willam ette River and makes its railroad ship ments through Shedds. The remainder of the eggs credited to Shedds were shipments made by Individual farmers residing near the town. The station of Crabtree exported 18.- 120 dozens In the past year and Shel- burn, Junction of the Woodburn-Sprlng- rield branch and Corvallls & Eastern line, sent out 7500 dozens. No definite figures were obtained regarding- ship ments from Tallman and Thomas, the only other railroad points In the county, but the total of the two will reach at least 10.000 dozens. Many Farmers Ship Direct. Besides the merchants and shippers of the various towns, many farmers make their own shipments direct to Portland. These shipments are not in cluded in the above figures, furnished by exporters, except those mentioned from Shedds, and in perhaps one or two other cases where they are computed with a town's total shipment. It Is estimated that more than 10,000 dozens, not included in figures heretofore quoted, find their way into Portland markets annually from individual ship ments of Linn County farmers. The bulk of Linn County's big ship ment the past year went to Portland and Seattle. Several large shipments went to Astoria and other cities, but none to points In Oregon south of Portland. A notable percentage of the eggs shipped to Seattle were consigned ior use in Alaska. Eggs brought farmers a higher aver age price this year than ever before. Three years ago 14 cents per dozen was an average price, but it has been rapidly Increasing. This year the price han. ranged from 12 to 35 cents and a leading Albany shipper estimates the average price received for Linn County eggs the past 12 months at 19 cents per dozen. Last year's total shipment thna brought J127.S00 into Linn County. And ir.is is ny no means the total profit from the poultry business. This eonntv ships thousands of chickens annually, as well as many turkeys, ducks and geese. 000 IN ANY SINGLE UNCOMPLICATED CASE WE CURE QUICKLY, SAFELY AND THOROUGHLY Weakness of Men, Varicocele, Hydrocele, Nervous Debility, Blood and Skin Diseases, Sores, Ulcers, Swollen Glands, Kidney, Bladder and Rectal Diseases, Prostate Gland Disorders, and all Contracted Special Diseases of Men.
