EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 19. (To the Ed
itor.) The -writer has Jut returned
from a six-weeks' trip to the mines of
Southern Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia, leaving the Southern Pacific
at Weed, the station where the branch
road Is being built to Klamath Falls.
He traveled 63 miles to Dorrls, took
stage 12 miles to Teeters Landing for
supper, then took the steamer Klamath
1 miles and arrived at Klamath Falls
at 10 P. M. Between Porrls and the
Falls are scattered the force of 760
men and 400 teams busy on the road
which will soon be completed to the
Falls city. This place is growing rap
Idly, and bids fair to be by far the
largest city In this part of the state.
Leaving the Falls at 7 the next morn
ing on stage we arrived at Bonanza
! for dinner. This Is a growing town In
, the midst of a good stock country, and
has a large three-etory brick school
house, which would be a credit to a
city 10 times its sle. We were soon
on our way again, and at Bly took sup
' per at 6 P. M-, and arrived at Lake
view at A. M., riding over rough.
' dusty roads continually for 23 hours, a
' distance of 110 miles.
Lakevlew Is the county seat of Lake
County, situated In Goose Lake Valley.
It Is not built on Goose Lake, however,
but some four miles or more away. A
destructive fire a few years ago nearly
wiped out the town, so upon rebuild
ing it the citizens wisely made their
business houses out of brick. The
town now presents a solid appearance.
In strong contrast with all the other
towns in this section, they being near
; ly all of wood.
Fifteen miles down the valley
: brought us to the town of New Pine
' Creek, the nearest place to the mining
j district of that name. The only peculiar
) feature of this town Is the fact that
j it Is built on the line that divides Ore-
gon and California, one-half being In
each state. The part in Oregon-has
: local option, and Jio saloons, while
across the street, being in California,
there are saloon. Each section claims
' to be doing the main business, but
from present Indications, no great dif
ference is noticeable in that respect.
Wagon Road Through Canyon.
A wagon-road winds its way up the
deep canyon of Pine Creek four miles,
where It ends, and a pack-trail takes
a person into the heart of the mining
district., four miles farther. A new
one-stamp mill for ore-crushing le be
ing erected. So far, little development
work has been done, not much being
known yet about the value or perma
' neney of the ledges. Our stay was very
short, and we kept on the trail with
two pack-horses. We went over the
mountains almost due south and
camped that night at the foot of the
main range In the Fort Bidwell dis
trict. Modoc County, Cal. We remained
here about a week, prospecting the
country, and found everything claimed.
We saw a sample of the ledges, one
I owned by the Bidwell Discovery Com
pany. where two men were running a
tunnel on a vein thre feet wide. It
eaxrteo good values in gold. Stakes
and claims covered the hills all around
us. and It seemed that a few men owned
the entire district.
Not finding any chance for getting
claims, we went out by way of old
Fort Bidwell. eight miles south. Here
. waa formerly a garrison of troops, who
fought the Modocs 40 years ago. The
old Government buildings are now used
i for an Indian School, and 80 pupils are
tn attendance. They are of the Modoo,
Pitt River and Piute tribes. Leaving
Bidwell. we started for the "Windy
Hollow" mining district, situated about
0 miles northeast of Bidwell, In Lake
! County. Or., eight miles from a town
I called Plush. We spent 12 days In this
I district, prospecting the ground thor-
oughly all around the camp, but flnd-
leg nothing. Then we moved our cams-

Into the heart of the district, and saw
some of the leading claims.
The district U composed of low roll
ing; hills, covered with sagebrush. On
these hills cattle and sheep had been
grazing for 40 years or more. Four
years ago some gold was found, and a
new mining camp was started. There
was no running water when we were
there, but a number of springs supply
drinking water to the small number of
men who are at work there. A few
individuals own most of this camp, and
but little development has been done.
The deepest shaft heard of was down 61
feet, and many of them were only 8 to
II feet deep.
Shaft 61 Feet Deep.
One claim, the Jumbo Consolidated, it
Is said. Is bonded for ISO. 000, and a
small amount has been paid in cash.
This has a shaft 1 feet deep on the
ledge, and a number of openings and
cuts. All show free gold by panning.
It Is said to be a big ledge, but has
been tied up In litigation. It is said
that plenty of timber and water can be
found near this district. There being
no vacant ground In this, camp and the
prices being high, we took the road for
Lakevlew, and returned to the railroad
at Weed. We took a brief look at the
works of the Weed Lumber Company.
It has the largest wood-working plant
on the Coast, if not in the United
States, consisting of a three-story
building several hundred feet equare.
containing the finest machinery for
making anything and everything that
can be manufactured of wood, and em
ploying over 500 men. It is fully
equipped, with electric lights, up-to-date
fire protection and big fans and
blowers, which carry all dust, dirt,
shavings, etc., entirely away from the
building.
Instead of returning home, we went
to Redding, the principal town of
Shasta County. Redding is a neat,
clean little city, with finely-graded
streets, and good water supply and ex
cellent school buildings. Several lines
of stages connect with trains for all
the gold camps in Its vicinity, and the
big freight teams are constantly com
ing and going. After a night's rest
here, we took etage for French Gulch,
23 miles northwest of Redding. This
place contains only a few hundred peo
ple, but once was in the midst of a
great placer camp and contained 10,000
inhabitants. It still does a thriving
trade, as there are a number of rich
quarts mines in the section. Six and
eight- mule freight teams are constant
ly coming and going.
Placer Miners Still Active.
We next went south into the Cotton
wood district, 40 miles southwest of
Redding, and looked over Arbuckle
Gulch, which today has two eld miners'
cabins in a fair state of preservation.
They re still used during the Winter
and Spring months by a few placer
miners, who annually come here to take
out a few hundred dollars, or perhaps
a few thousand, still left in the numer
ous ravines emptying Into the main
gulch. Today a lot of horses and cattle
are quietly grazing all over the place
where 40 years ago was a busy, bust
ling mining camp, with Its dally stage
coaches coming in loaded with men
and women, all eagerly searching for
gold. At one time this dry, deserted
looking place contained a town of over
10,000 people, with-its busy stores,
busier saloons, dancehalla and gambling-houses.
Here Is the almost ob
literated wagon-road over which came
the big freight wagons and large pack
trains bringing in the necessary sup
plies for the mines.
On the lower part of Cottonwood
Creek is a bar of gravel that hae not
yet been worked. Below is Piety Hill,
where a large hydraulic plant was in
stalled and hundreds of thousands of
dollars were annually taken out. When
the anti-debris law was passed many
years ago to prevent tailings from be
ing run into the Sacramento River, all
these gold-producere had to stop opera
tions, and California, which headed the
world's list, lost her pre-eminence.

ally large growth In its residence dis
trict. There are now under course of
construction, bytactual count. 62 houses.
AH of these have been planned and
provided for by the owners within the
last 60 days. When completed and
ready for occupancy, there will be an
outlay of money expended for each one
ranging from 11600 to 15000. Under
such a growth, the local carpenters
have been busy, and command 13.60 a
day on an eight-hour schedule.
The city is now completing a 4000
foot sewer Into Lincoln Park Addition,
which will serve many new residences
and cottages that are being built ta
that part of town.

Marshfield Proud of First
Asphalt Pavements.
OTHER STREETS PLANKED
Coos Bay Metropolis Will Have Ex
pended $125,000 on Street Im
provements by End of
Tear 1908.
MARSHFIELD. Or., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Marshfield people are now en
Joying their first asphalt streets and
are greatly pleased with the wonder
ful change wrought in the appearance
of the city since the old and muddy
streets were supplanted with modern
pavements. Contractor W. O. McCann,
of the Eureka Paving Company, who
has the work In charge, has finished
four blocks on Front street, and is
now at work laying the pavement on
C street from Front to Second street,
at which corner is being built the new
Chandler Hotel.
There Is also to be an asphalt pave
ment laid on A street, and for three
blocks on Broadway to connect A and
C streets. This practically gives all of
the business district asphalt pave
ment. Besides the asphalt pavement, a num
ber of streets are being Improved with
planking. On C avenue planking Is
being laid for half a mile, and B street
will be opened and extended for half
a mile, so that the people In the west
ern part of the city will have another
street on which to reach the business
section.
The Marshfield City Council haa an
other big undertaking in the redis
ricting of the city for new sewer sys
tems. It is expected to let the con
tracts soon, so that work can be start
ed early .In the Spring.
The end of the year will show an ex
penditure of about $126,000 in street
improvements alone. This does not
include the new sidewalks which have
been laid privately by the property
owners. Concrete walks in Marshfield
a few months ago were a rare thing,
but before the Winter is over they will
be quite common. -
The public improvement on the part
of the city has encouraged individuals
and many improvements and repairs
have been made to business houses, all
of which has a tendency to give the
business district a better appearance
North Bend also has extensive street
Improvements on hand, and will great
ly Increase the efficiency of the water
service in order to give better fire pro
tection. The new school in the southern part
of the city is under construction and
when finished will cost, with the
amount paid for the lot, about $50,000.
Work on the new Chandler Hotel is
being pushed, the Coos Bay Gas &
Electric Company is completing the
large new power plant between Marsh
field and North Bend, and altogether
the bay cities are really quite busy.
There 1b no boom on, but probably
never before were more substantial
Improvements of different kinds In
progress.
It is probable that a company will
handle an automobile line between
Roseburg and Coos Bay, and in this
event the passenger and mail service
from the interior will be greatly Im
proved. WALNUTS IN HIGH FAVOR
Hundreds of Acres to Be Planted In
Yamhill.
MMINNVILLE. Or.. Sept. 30. (Spe
cial.) English walnut planting in this
county will be done . on a grand scale
during the coming; season. This year
over 1000 acres were planted. A tract of
1000 acres has been platted near Amity
and sold to be planted to walnuts. The
Oak Hill farm near North Yamhill, re
cently sold, has 40 or 50 acres in trees, a
good portion of them bearing, and the
remainder of the 1016 acres will .be
planted to trees. The Jacobs-Stine Com
pany, of Portland, has lately acquired
title to the Riverside orchards tract ly
ing east of this city and comprising 500
acres, which Is platted to sell to walnut
planters..
Business and professional men and the
neighboring farmers have set apart at
least 1000 acres for Immediate walnut
planting in the vicinity of McMlnnville,
whose name the "Walnut City" is no
empty one. since it will soon have 1S00 1
acres of walnuts In Its vicinity. I

CROP OF POTATOES SHORT
DRY WEATHER DECREASES THE
MCIiTXOMAH SUPPLY,
Yield of New Hay Will Be Smaller
Than I'snal, but Large Surplus
Is Being; Baled and Snipped.
Latest crop estimates from Eastern
Multnomah County indicate that there
will be a shortage of potatoes this
year, principally on account of the dry
weather durlne; July. As far east as
Rockwood, the soli is g-ravelly, and the
farmers there have been used to early
planting: so aa to secure advantage of
all the moisture obtainable, as there
is usually considerable rain up to Au
gust 1, though the yield Is uniformly
good and the potatoes are among; the
best that come to the Portland mar
kets. This year, however, the dry
weather caught the crop before It had
obtained Its growth, and the result is
many small potatoes that will not be
merchantable.
Further eastward, where the soil. Is
different, the crop will be better and
larger, but it has Buffered there, also,
especially the early plantings. Late
plantings are looking well and prom
ise a good yield If not caught by the
frost before maturing.
The -hay crop will be considerably
Bhorter this year than last, but there is
a surplus, which is being baled and
shipped away. Nearly every farmer
had a surplus, which was stacked In
the fields, and hay-baling machines
have been busy for the past six weeks
In preparing it for shipment It Is es
timated that the surplus of the county
will be about 10,000 tons, all of which
will find ready sale at prevailing
prices.
For the past two months there have
been four threshing machines travel
ing over Eastern Multnomah cleaning
up this year's crop of grain, which
gave a fairly good yield, as conditions
were favorable last Spring for early
sowing. The grain fields are small,
but numerous, and it Is estimated by
one of the machine owners that this
year's yield will be 350,000 bushels of
all kinds.
Oats averaged 40 bushels to the
acre; wheat 35. There Is a small acre
age in barley. But little of the grain
grown there is sold away from home,
nearly all of It being used by those
who raise It, much of It being ground
into feed In the chop mills at Gresham
and Falrvlew.
Eastern Multnomah does not raise
enough grain for its own use, excepc
oats. All the merchants buy large
quantities of rolled barley, shorts and
bran in Eastern Oregon, the great dairy
Interest requiring more mill feed than
can be raised in that section.
For a great milk-producing section,
such as may be found between Mount
TBrbor and the Sandy River, it is a fact
that butter is Imported there in large
quantities from outside creameries.
Nearly all the milk is bought up fresh

by the dairy associations which collect
it 6ily at the farmers' gates, paying
therefor at the present time a price of
40 cents for every three gallons. This
brings ready cash for all the milk, and
the farmer with three cows and up
wards sells all his milk and buys but
ter. Creamery butter has been sold at
all the stores bearing labels from Al
bany, Tillamook, Damascus and Boise
City.
As an Indication of what the farmers
receive for their fresh milk right at
their own doors. It is reported by one
of them that he received a check for
one month recently for the" sum of
$207, and he was milking but 18 cows
at that time. That sum would give a
gross Income of $11.50 from each oow,
exclusive of the veals. Excepting a
small portion of the milk produced,
which goes to a creamery in Clackamas
County, it all comes to Portland either
to the creameries of this city or to the
dairy associations which retail It to
consumers here.
WILL BUILD SEWER SYSTEM
Brownsville City Council Also Pro
poses to Establish Fire Limit.
BROWNSVILLE, pr., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Brownsville is destined to take an
other forward step- in the line of im
provement if the acts of the City Coun
cil are a criterion. Not only did the
Council go on record as favorable to a
proposed sewerage system for the entire
business section of the city, at an esti
mated cost of $4000, but appointed a
committee to take hold of and push the
matter to completion. Surveys have al
ready been made.
The Council also ordered an ordinance
prepared establishing Are limits within
which only fire-proof buildings may here
after be erected and limits in the busi
ness section where only cement side
walks may be laid when the present
board walks are rebuilt.
Over. 25 new residences have been or
are under construction and two large,
two-story brick business blocks are well
under way. The fruit cannery has also
doubled Its capacity. A general air of
prosperity and Improvement pervades
both the city and country and demand
for real estate is brisk.

Albany Needs Residences.
ALBANY, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
In spite of the fact that more than
100 new bouses have been built in Al
bany this year, the demand for houses
Is far beyond the supply. There are at
least 25 families In Albany now hunt
ing houses to rent, and in the past
week a few families gave up the
search in despair and left for South
ern Oregon. To find houses for the
newcomers Is the principal cause of
worry now for Manager Dasent, of the
Albany Commercial Club, and local
real estate men.
Albany Adds to School Room.
ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.)
Albany's public schools will open to
morrow. Indications point to the larg
est attendance in the history of the
schools, though the enrollment will not
be complete for perhaps two weeks,
owing to the number of children em
ployed in hopyards and in the prune
orchards. To relieve the congestion in
some departments last year two new
rooms have been completed in the Maple-Street
School.
