Wallowa to Celebrate. The new line will be open for business as far as Wallowa Sunday. September 2. and the prosperous little city will celebrate the occasion In a befitting man oer. There will be an excursion from Grande and a number of Portlanders will be present. There will be speecnes, muslc and a basket picnic to which every one In the county is cordially welcomed. Jt will -be a great day for the Wallowa country and Incidentally it will mean much for Portland, for It brings Into close touch with the metropolis, .a field that Is rich in possibilities for development. Wallowa Inbound. There has always been a faraway sound attached to any mention of "the Wallowa country. We of Portland have for years fpoken regretfully of the isolation of the Tillamook. Nehalem and Coos Bay ter ritories, but have always qualified our re marks with the consoling reflection that It was possible to get Jnto the coast region at uncertain Intervals when the wind) and tide served. But no such hope lias been held out by the Wallowa country, for It has always been com paratively Inaccessible even when the tide was high at Tillamook. Now all this is to be changed and the citizens ot the long isolated region are pardonably enthusiastic in their expres sions of pleasure over their early release from the handicap under which they have struggled for so many years. For the railroad -into the Wallowa country is no longer a prospect, a possibility, or a vague intangible something of the future. It has already entered the valley and is being rushed to completion as fast as men and money can send it. Railroads to Push On. Wallowa which Is the present terminus of the extension of the Elgin branch of the O. R. & N.. will enjoy the prestige of a terminus for a few days only, for a big track-laying force Is rushing the line on to Lostlne. Enterprise and Joseph at the rate" of more than a mile a day and will reach Enterprise with a regular train service very soon after October 1. and Joseph, the terminus of the line, before the snow flies. Rich Region Opened. The new road opens up a region of sur prising richness. To Teach the wonderful land It passes through-one of the most picturesque canyons to be found any where in the West. American railroad scenery always comes high for the road builders, and the new line to Wallowa Is not an exception to the rule, for there Is a vast amount of very expensive rock work and many bridges.- as the road winds along the banks of the somewhat turbulent Grand Honde and Wallowa Rivers. The Grand Ronde and the Wallowa Valleys were famous for their richness long before the white man came, and the prodigality of nature Is everywhere so apparent that it is all very easy to un derstand why old Chief Joseph and his warriors were so strongly averse to leav ing It. The Horse Heaven country, over In Washington. Is said to have secured Its name from the wonderful growth of bunchgrass that covered It In early days. If that North Bank region was a heaven for horses, the Grand Ronde and the Wallowa were certainly an Indian heaven, for it produced everything that either the horse or his master, the In dian, was In need of. The country was certainly worth fighting for, and If there was any sentiment in the make-up of old Joseph, he must have parted with It with a heavy heart. Here, as elsewhere In the Pacific North west, when early railroad surveys were made, wheat was the most attractive traffic for the railroads, and when a number of years ago the O. R. A N. Company began work on the Elgin branch, the length of the extension was determined by the wheat land easily reached. Then, as now. there was a large area of rich wheat land In the Wal lowa country, but It was separated from the Grand Ronde wheat belt by the Grand Ronde and Wallowa canyon, through which, construction work has proved so expensive. There was. In fact, ' a kind of an industrial deadlock. The railroads did not build beyond Elgin be cause there was no wheat to bring out, and the farmers did not grow wheat be cause there was no railroad to haul it. Herds and Flook9 for Freight. But the rich valleys beyond the canyon, which had supplied such plentiful suste nance for the big herds of antelope, deer and other game before the white man came, were now turning off great herds of fat cattle and an annual wool clip of proportions. As the railroad would not go to the cattle, the cattle were driven to the railroad and the wool was taken out over the same trail that was used by the cattle. The traffic thus developed, soon gave the outside world the Impres sion that Wallowa was exclusively a Stock country, and It has taken many years to correct the misapprehension. But the Wallowa country Is coming Into Its own. and the development that will be made possible by the railroad, will be of surprising proportions. The exten sion which Is to be placed in operation from Elgin to Joseph, will be 66 miles tn length; for nearly 40 miles after leaving Elgin. It is a very expensive piece of road, with fine scenery and good fishing the chief attractions.

Wallowa's Hopes. Wallowa is the first point of importance after leaving Elgin and with the prestige of its age and a good location on which to build a city, the citizens have great expectations of future greatness now that they are at last in touch with the outside world. There Is less wheat land tributary to Wallowa than to some of the points fartlTer up the line, but there will be an Increased acreage of the cereal now that there is a market for It and with the stock Industry, fruit and lumbering Wal lowa will undoubtedly show a substantial growth. Iostine's Misfortune. Lostlne, another city, that has at least reached the age of discretion, was unfortunately located by the orig inal town builders, for when the rail road surveyors came through they found it impossible to place the line nearer than one mile from the present location of the town, without making a wide detour and encountering a grade that would disarrange the road loca tion and grades for several miles. The citizens of Lostlne accepted the rail- rood decree philosophically, merely expressed regret over the matter, and set to work securing grounds for a depot at the nearest point available, and presented them to the company free of charge. Lostlne Is ten miles from Wallowa, and ten miles farther on Is Enterprise, which, according to the enterprising Enterprlslans, is the argest city In the Wallowa country, and, if you hear the news at Wallowa, ft Is next to tne largest. If the rivalry at present in evidence between these thriving cities, continues to grow as the citizens believe their respective cities will grow, they will have -that old Tacoma-Seattle feud looking like a peace conference. Enterprise is ad mirably located for a big wheat trade which will come as soon as tne rich lands north and east are developed. Joseph, which will be the terminus of the line, nestles near the shores of the wonderful Wallowa Lake, and has a great future as a Summer resort, for the location Is close enough to the foot nil's to give the place an admir able climate and the lake Is one of the most attractive bodies of water In the country. Towns Are Prosperous. Wallowa, Enterprise and Joseph are well lighted by electricity and the resi dences in town and In the adjacent country nearly all present a clean. prosperous appearance, which is only a reflection of the territory in which they are located, for there are few, if any, localities in the country to which nature has been more liberal In her gifts than to tne dwellers In the great Wallowa country. Perhaps the most strikine feature of this land of richness is the abundance of water. Here In the low-water season when the entire east-of-the-mountalns country. Is supposed to be dried up, every Irrigating ditch and every stream Is run ning bank-full and imparting to the entire country, a green, fresh appearance that Is as pleasing to the eye as it is profitable to the men who control these broad acres which sweep away for miles In an unbroken stretch of verdure. Chance for Pprtland. A visit to the Wallowa country will con firm all of the good things that have ever been said about it. and when the road is completed. It might be a pleasant and protitable trip lor the Portland mer chants to ride Into the new country and take a look at it. Of course it Is Port land territory and the citizens at all points along the proposed line, express a very kindly feeling for Portland. A personal visit, however, would not be Inappropriate, and some of our Influ ential citizens might return from the trip ready to cease rainbow-chasing after Im- practlcabl? transportation schemes, and begin working for. the 30-foot channel that is needed from Portland to the sea to enable us to handle satisfactorily the Immense traffic that the Wallowa country. Central Oregon, Tillamook, the Nehalem. Northern Idaho and other new regions about to be opened up, will soon be send ing to us. A passing view of this wonder ful region which is one of a number of others now coming Into prominence, might also serve to remove any 'doubts about the commercial supremacy of Portland for "all roads lead to Portland" and this latest addition to our trade highway Is an exceptionally well-built one. INFECTED ORCHARD RAZED Josephine County Fruit Inspector Orders Old Trees Grubbed Out. GRANTS PASS. Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) The first Instance of the real enforce ment of the fruit inspecting law to a letter was exampled in the destruction of the orchard on the Cass place just south of town. The fruit trees on this place have stood for several years without any! care, necause tne esiaie was tn iingaiKm In the courts. The authorities had noti fied the owners and parties interested, but no heed was taken. Finally the county fruit Inspector ordered the trees all grubbed up, as they were deemed a public danger and nuisance. To Continue Publicity Work. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Sept. 13. (Spe cial.)

ITER FOR FARMS Grants Pass Club Working to Secure Irrigation. WILL TAP ROGUE RIVER Ament Brothers, Owners of Lrge Dam About City, Asked to Pro vide System of Ditches lo Carry Water Onto Farm Lands.' GRANTS PASS. Or., Sept. IS. (Special.) Plans for irrigating this part of Rogue River Valley are assuming shape as fast as the Interests in charge can work them out. The people of this section have felt the necessity for water for various rea sons, and one In particular being the two fold increase in farm end berry producets. The Droiect now under way is to build ditches on each side of Rogue River and irrigate the low land and foothills. The foothills are especially adapted to ber ries and small fruits, and with the aid of water the yield will be enormous. About a week ago Ament Bros., who own the up-river dam, were invited to eo before the Commercial Club, when the club laid before them the Irrigation prop osition. C. i. Ament could not give a definite answer and asked for time to confer with his brother in Chicago. C. W. Ament ar rived this week from the East and he and his brothers are now preparing plans and data to be submitted to the cluD. The altitude of the Ament dam Is suf ficient to give a lowland gravity system for all the lower valley, but it ls the wish of the farmers and frultralsers that a highland ditch be built that wUl be available for the foothills. It is believed that' the Amenta will file a favorable reply. If is understood that if the Aments do not take up the matter the Commercial Club will support an ir rigation district under the bonding system TOWN PROVIDES PUBLICITY Grants Pass to Distribute 20,000 Booklets Descriptive of Resources. GRANTS PASS. Or.. Sept. 13 (Special.) The Commercial Club of this city has received a consignment of 20,000 booklets for distribution announcing the railroad rates to colonists between this place and Eastern points which are in effect during the months of September and October. Besides being a valuable advertising medium and full of information to home seekers the booklet contains a well-writ ten article upon the merits of Josephine County, by H. L. Andrews, secretary of the Commercial Club. The officers of the club now have under advisement plans "to erect a three- story building to be occupied by the club when finished. Atpresem an meeiuiga are held In a one-story building on Sixth street, but these quarters have become somewhat inconvenient, owing to tn Increase of membership and the amount of business found necessary to transact tliere. . If the present plans are fully completed there will be a three-story building erected providing for one main clubroom, hanrr net-room and several commlttee- rooms. The recent organization of the Women's Auxiliary has also made a de mand for more room which at present has to be provided for by renting outside quarters. COOS BAY MAKS HOLIDAY Arrival of Dredge Oregon Will Be Occasion for Rejoicing. MARSHFIELD, Or., Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) The Government dredge Ore gon, built at Portland, ls expected to leave that city September 16 and will probably arrive in Coos Bay September 20. The Chamber of Commerce is ar ranging a celebration of the event. A flotilla of gasoline boats win meet me dredge and escort It up the bay and the people wilt take a general holiday. A Columbia River tug will be hired to tow the dredge to Coos Bay. Senator Fulton promised to come here when the dredge arrived and make a speech, and It is expected that he will be in the city to take part in the celebration. The Coos Bay people are anxious to see the Improvement of the bay start, and regard the coming of the dredge as one of the most important events of the Summer. 0 9 Oregon City Has Sew Hotel.

ADAPTED FOR WALNUTS. Single Tree in Albany Yard Esti mated to Have Produced Hun dred Pounds of Nuts. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) A big walnut tree in the yard of the resi dence of L. E. Blain, In this city, shows the possibilities of walnut culture in this part' of the state. Though it stands on the poorest kind of land for fruit growing, and has never received scien tific culture, the tree this year produced $25' worth of nuts. This shows the Im mense profit of an acre of similar trees. The nuts have not yet been picked, but It is conservatively estimated that the tree contains at least 100 pounds. Mr. Blaln never sells the nuts, keeping them for his own use,' but this week he refused an offer of 25 cents a pound for the entire product of his tree. This tree is 14 years old, and stands 30 feet high. It ls a French walnut of the Mayette variety. Mr. Blain believes that had It been properly trimmed when young and placed rn good soil, like that of the Santlam bottoms in this county, it would have attained Its present growth and bearing qualities In seven or eight years. Young trees now growing under these conditions give evidence of verifying that belief. Walnut culture has received a big impetus In Linn County in the past vear. and many email orchards are be ing planted. The acreage was approxi mately doubled during the past year, and there are now about 500 acres de voted to commercial walnutgrowlng in this eountv. All of these trees were nlanted In the last three or four years, however, and are not yet bearing for the market, but in a few years the walnut output of Linn County will be notable. CODDLING PATERNALISM Banks Slight as WeU Insure Wheat Against Loss as Gofd Deposits, VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 13. (To the Editor.) Anent the discussion now going on In regard to guarantee of bank deposits, the editorial In laet Tuesday's Oregonlan suggests a phase of the general question, which, as has been pointed out, ls economic rather than political. The Idea of insuring warehouse receipts to the farmer is exactly in line with the thought I wish to bring out. The majority of people think and talk loosely of bank de posits as being money. They are not money any more than wheat ls money. Although the banker agrees, by prac tice, at least, to meet his demands in lawful money, yet he can no more", on short notice, convert all his deposits Into gold than can the warehouseman convert his wheat into gold. Relatively, the farmer has Just as good right to ask that his warehouse receipt, representing the yalue of his wheat, be insured or guaranteed against loss as that the credit for his wheat when placed in the bank, be guaranteed. Most business men and well Informed persons know that banks deal In credits, and .when they apeak of having money in bank. It means they have a credit that can- be transferred to others to meet obligations of debt. In a day's transactions, the average bank receives deposits over its counter of not more than 10 per cent in actual coin and currency, the balance being represented by checks, drafts, notes and other forms of credit. For all the wheat, lumber and other products of the country the bank advances the necessary credit to the grower and hinner. taking therefor bills of ex change credit on some other bank thus putting into liquiaauon tne cnuro products of the country. Except for the fact that banks pay coin upon demand and that most peo ple unfamiliar with the operation of banks count all deposits as money, the banks differ in no way from tne otner business of the country. Banns aeai in money and credits exclusively, grain buyers. In grain exclusively. One has Just as good right to have his credit guaranteed as the other. As this question is coming to the front In all parts of the country, but especially In our Western States, it would seem to be the duty of all hav ing any knowledge of the dangers that would arise from such a scheme to constantly combat the apparently plausible arguments being used for It. Reports or conaitions ot anairo in uk lahoma, spoken of by Mr. Bryan, as howing the great advantage of the plan, can be refuted by any one Inter ested enough to get the actual facts of the same. When the . conservative banker makes defense against the scheme, he ls at once accused of per sonal motives. Mr. Forgan, president of the First National Bank of Chicago, answers this at some length by say- I WALNUT TREE IN ALBANY 1 o ,!A'i Of ing that "the ultimate result would put the burden quite as much on the depositor as on the bank," and George E. Roberts, president of the Commercial National Bank of Chicago, formerly Director of the Mint, says: "Nothing that in the long run ls harmful to the banking business, that puts It under strain, and tends to lower Its standards, can be beneficial to depositors or the public. It would fall at first on the conservative bankers and penalize them. Eventually the burden of In creasing waste would have to be borne by all depositors and the whole com munity." Nothing more socialistic has been proposed and certainly when once committed to the proposition of Insur ing bank deposits other lines of busi ness might, with as good right, have their credits guaranteed against loss and in the end we would have social ismthan the doctrine that the Gov ernment ls doing everything and the Individual nothing.
