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. The- line follows the
Grand Ronde River down to Its Junction
br the Wallowa and then trails along the

bank, of the Wallowa with a slight up
grade for the greater part of the dis
tance. 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.

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!

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

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

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

THIS YEAR'S YIELD WORTH 23.
TREE YIELDS $25 IS NUTS
LINN" COUNTY SOIL IS WELL.
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

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.
