OREGON HAS ADVANTAGES Pests Ht Not Yet Appeared nd Ther Are Xo Frosts to Con trnd With How I -and Should Be Prepared for Crop. By C I. Lewis, professor of G.nrI Horti culture ana rnmoionj. v'i'i"" cultural Collec Considerable interest 1 being taken cur state In cranberry culture, and It we'J that this Industry should re eel nin nt h Attention that Is belna alv to the various horticultural pursuits. Probably no line of horticulture pays Def ter profits than cranberry-growing, and in wiiti vhn the vlelds are good it Is practically Impossible to buy the well pnirMl hnn for 11 000 an acre. There are two reasons for the high price of cranberry bogs. Tne nrsi is that the yields on good bogs pay very good interest on the Investment; and. sec ond, cranberry land la very scarce when compared with other agricultural lands The cranberry is very exacting m its re ntilrementa. Nevertheless, there seems t I to he considerable land along the Oregon coast that is naturally adapted to this Industry. True it U that most of the bogs are wild and only a few have had any artificial preparation, and In many cases these were not property preiiarru. Valuable Tillamook Bogs. What promises to be a very valuable bog for the Pacific Northwest is one re cently acquired by the Tillamook Cran berry Company near Oreton. This seems to have the natural requirements, such as soil, drainage, a good water supply and comparative ease with which bed can he prepared. The company has de termlned to spare no pains in establish ln this bog properly. The reports of Oregon yields are almost unbelievable, and the German statistics give the average yield of our bogs as be ing the highest In the country. That thp yield would run considerably above the average seems highly probable, for we have no Insect pests as yet. neither do we have frosts to contend with. With the returns of. say. 100 bushels to tne acre, a very handsome profit can be realised on a Tarnation of (1000 per acre. Requirements for Cranberries. . In order to grow the berries success fully, certain conditions must prevail. First, we desire a peat soil, and especial ly a decomposed peat. Clay, or heavy murk soils are undesirable. Second, an abundance of good, coarse sand should be available within easy hauling distance. When this sand becomes mixed some what with the peat it seems to make the Ideal soil. Third, the drainage Is a very important factor, and during the grow ing season one should be able to keep the water at least a foot below the sur face. It should not be allowed to gel much lower than this. Cranberries will not stand stagnant water. Fourth, a good water supply, furnished by some living stream or reservoir. Is very desir able, fur. In case insects should appear, flooding could be easily resorted to. In addition to the above requirements. It Is also well to choose a bog In which the work can be carried on easily. It will cost from 1100 to S0O an acre to prepare a bog. First, all trees, shrub bery, etc., must be removed. Next, the bog must be scalped that is. all the top surface must be removed, so that no grass roots are allowed to remain, 'ihen a layer of coarse sand, three to five Inches deep, must be applied. After this the young plants are set out, generally in rows about a foot apart, the plants from six to nine Inches apart In the row. The first few years especial care must be taken to keep out all grass. After the plants become onoe firmly establlsned. the danger from the grass will not be so great. By the third year a good crop is realised, and from that on for a great manv years the bed should prove prof itable. WILL GO EAST WITH CROP Dyton Farmer to Make Perron! Sale of 60,000 Boxes Apple. HOOP RIVER. Or.. Oct. 4 (Special.) J. L. Pumu, who owni on of the largest apple orchards tn the Northwest, which Is situated at lyton. Wash., spoilt today here try Ins; to tciire parkers to properly pack his big crop of 50.000 boxes of apples. Mr. Pumas has HO acres tn bearing; or chard at lay ton, but as yet has been un able to dispose of the apples, except on coualffnmvnt. Tills Is not satisfactory to Mm and he la planning to market the ap ples as soon as they are ready for ship ment by going Hant and making Chicago his headquarters. If he derides to do this, his experiment will be watched with In terest by growers and fruit associations in the Xor:hwet. as this method has never been put Into use on the Coast before. Through a delay In not getting cars last year a la rue part of the crop of the Du mas or.-hard, which was bought by W. X. Willie Co.. of New York, was re fused on reachtrg there and resulted tn a mi!t for several thousand dollars against him whtch is still pending In the New York courts. The apples were finally dis posed of by other firms there and an at tempt made by the attorneys of the Whit Company to attach the proceeds of the sale pending the decision of the courts. The attachment, however, was denied and tt is claimed by the other firm who bu died the fruit thst owing to the financial trouble, which cam on before the apple could be shlppefl. that White ft Co. took advantage of the car shortage to refuse the fruit and also to bring suit against lumas for damages for non-delivery. The case has attracted widespread In terest among applcgrowera and shippers in the Northwest and a yet ha never been settled. A counter suit was brought against White Co, by Mr. LHjtnas and aso one by Rickey A Gilbert appleshlp per at Toppenlsh. Wash., for the refusal of the larter to accept a number t cars of apples shipped them by the Toppenlsh firm. With the suits pending against them. W. N.

WEST, OWREH, Willamette Valley Lands Offer Field for Investment. PROXIMITY TO PORTLAND This Factor Makes Them More Valo able Than Lands In Other Parts of State Electric Lines Mean Higher Values. SAI.EM. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) "I do not know of a safer or mora promising investment a man can make today than to purchase Willamette Valley farming; land." said W. D. Fenton. the well known Southern Pacific attorney, dur ing a conversation in this city a few days ago. "Whether a man wants to buy for his own use or for specula tion. I do not know of any place where a man can do as well as In the Wil lamette Valley. It Is true that In a few localities that have been well ad vertised and where the large farms have been cut up Into small tracts val ues are high, but even there a man can make enough from the land to justify his paying the prices asked. Such land Is an absolutely safe Invest ment for the man who wants a horn.. It Is not attractive to the speculator, for the prospect of rapidly advancing rallies Is not great. But there are many localities In the Willamette Valley where the large farms have not been divided, wlirre Intensified, farming baa not been adopted and where prices asked for land are relatively low. In such places agricultural land offers splendid opportunities for the specu lator, for there cannot be the slight est doubt that within a very few years the market value of land of that class will double. "The few miles of electric lines al ready built In the Willamette Valley had a wonderful effect upon land val ues In the territory traversed by them. The electric lines have made new op portunities for homeseekers. but there Is not much attraction for the specu lator In territory In which an electrlo road has been built. Values have al ready advanced there. The successful speculator will go in advance of the next electric line, buy the large farms and be ready to sell them In smaller tracts when the electric line comes. "There Is nothing more certain than the future prosperity and development of the Willamette Valley. People will come here in large numbers because It Is In every way one of the most at tractive places on earth. The climate and soil are perhaps no better than In some other' parts of Oregon, though lust as good. The great advantage of the Willamette Valley Is its proximity to Portland, Mt city with 225,000 inhab itants snd more coming every day. Portland will have a population of- 300,- 000 almost before we know it. The growth of Portland means ever-increas ing markets for Valley products and new transportation lines to get the products to market. The fact that the Willamette alley contains the metrop olis, the railroad center of the North west, the- shipping point for the Co lumbia River Kasin, the capital of the state and all the great educational In stitutions, and all within a hundred miles or less. Is sufficient reason why homeseekers should invest here rather than go 200 or 800 miles further away, where they will pay Just as much or more for land and not live within easy reach of the advantages I have men tioned. These considerations form the basis for my assertion that the Willam ette Valley la about to experience a wonderful growth in population and an Immense development of resources. Land values are certain to advance; hence I say this la the time for the In vestor, whether a homeseeker or a speculator, to do his buying." FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS Harrtobnrff Merchants) Report Bet. ter Cash Trade Than for Tears. HARRI8BURQ, Or.. Oct. . (Speeial.) The business men of this city ar. do ing a bigger and better business, since harvest, than in any Fall season of late years. The farmers harvested a larger crop of grain than common and at prices ruling up to K cents per bushel net for wheat and SO cents for oats, thus farmers are amply able to pay their bills and hav. a surplus besides. While the short crop of bops has not yielded the usual amount for picking, the sum in the ag gregate is enough to materially swell the receipts of dealers.

O'Kelly. who runs the passenger line between Marshfleld and North Bend. Two years ago O'Kelly had two small boats to take care of the business, but the passenger traffic between the two cities has Increased so that large and com modious launches were needed. The launch North Bend was put on as a first-class boat, then the Bonlta was built and put in service, and now the Marshfleld has been completed. These three boats are kept in constant use. giving quick service between the two clttesv Waiting-rooms are maintained on the docks at each end of the line, and the boats answer the same purpose as streetcars. The Marshfleld is 4f feet long and is run by a 30-horsepower Doman gas oline engine and carries 60 passengers, there being a cabin and outside seats. The Marshfleld. like all of the other boats used on Coos Bay, Is of local production. Several Arms build gasoline boats on Coos Bay. and they are of different types from those found in other waters on the Coast, and it la claimed by the builders that they are of the best design yet put in use. The gasoline boat business on Coos Bay has grown wonderfully In the past year. There are on the bay and rivers tributary about 300 launches of different sizes. All of the rivers have regular daily passenger and freight service, and'scores of ranchers own their own boats, besides those who have private pleasure crafts. CHAMPION AT SEATTLE!, 'X OPENS GOLD BEACH ROUTE FORESTRY SERVICE BUILDING ROAD FROM GRAXTS PASS. Highway Will Provide Closer Con nection With Isolated Sec tion of Oregon. GRANTS PASS. Or.. Oct. 4. (Special.) Under the supervision of the Forestry Service of this city the work commenced last year for a down river road tapping Curry County is being rushed to a com pletion. The road will pass through the rich mining districts of Alameda and Gal- Ice and follows down Rogue River more than 60 miles. Six miles below Alameda the Govern- ment has finished a steel 180-foot span bridge across Rogue River. The 40-foot aDDroaches are built on cement abutments. A force of ten men is employed on the work and will continue throughout the Winter. The completion of the bridge means a connecting link between Grants Pass and Gold Beach. It is over this new route that the mail will be carried to tne lower river DOints. Running along with these general lines of improvements before Spring there will be finished about 100 miles of telephone lines. -- - PLACE OF STREETCARS ON BAY. "Mmml i coo J ax - - .

CITY'S GROWTH IS RAPID Over 300 Dwelling Have Been Erected in Past Nine Months, but X Vacant Houses Are To Be Had by Newcomers. SALEM, Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) Notwith standing that 300 new residences have been constructed in Salem during the first nine months of 1908, there is yet a great scarcity of dwellings and there is every indication that Salem will experience a serious house famine this Winter. The large number of country families that make a practice of coming to Salem for school advantages during the Winter are beginning to move in and It is difficult to see how all are tu be provided foe The Board of Trade, In an effort to re lieve the situation. Is about to start an other house-building campaign. Lest Spring the scarcity of houses was so great that the Board of Trade appoint ed a special committee to Induce owners of vacant lots in the residence district to erect dwelling houses. As a result of that systematic work, and the further Induce ment of lower prices for lumber, 300 houses were put up. Now all of these are filled and persons seeking to rent bouses are unable to find anything to suit their needs. Most of the houses built were or popular size, modern in arrangement and equipment and well locatea. Nearly all the people who come here are former residents of the Middle West who have Investigated the resources ana in dustries of the Willamette Valley and who have sold their property in their former homes and have come here to buy anew. The Board of Trade has a record of 35 families that came here in the past three months and invested already J125.000. This amount represents only the first Invest ment and does not include capital that was brought here and which will be spent in making improvements or purchasing additional property. Through the banks and other sources, the Board of Trade has learned that these 35 families brought to Salem a total of 3250.000. While these were the largest Investors In property in this viclnitv. thev were by no means the greater number of new comers who have located in Salem and vicinity In the last tliree monllis. Not onlv are all residences In Salem occupied but every business building has a tenant and new business nouses are pe ine erected. Among the new brick busi ness bl-.-cks put up in me last few months are the two-story Breyman building, the two-storv Skiff building, the D'Arcy tnea- ter building, and several structures to be used as warehouses. These improvements, together with the erection of the xso.uou t-aton nan, ai Willamette University, the erection of five large buildings by the state at the site for the new home for tne ieeDie-minaea, me completion of the Oregon Electric Rail road, the paving of 20 blocks on Salem streets, and the enlargement and improve ment of nearly all public service plants, has made Salem a busy town all this year. Salem was never more prosperous and was never growing faster than It is now and the continuing tide of immigrants gives assurance that the same or greater progress will be experienced In the coming year.
