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.

ELKS TEMPLE IS GROWING
First Story Completed of Fine Al
bany Structure.
ALiBANY, Or.. Aug. 23. (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.

.New Method of Loading Melons in
Cars Prevents Much Loss Which
Formerly Occurred.
GRANTS PASS. Or., 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

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

Shipments for Past Fiscal
Year Total 670,000

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.

Th cost of Interments has been greatly
reduced by the Holman Undertaking
Company.
Heretofore it has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for all
incidentals connected with a funeral. The
Edward Hohnan Undertaking Company,
tho leading funeral directors of Portland,
have departed from that custom. When
casket Is furnished by us we make no
extra charges for embalming, hearse to
cemetery, outside box or any services that
may be required of us, except clothing,
cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a
aving of 25 to 76 on each funeral.
