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. White tt Co, have not at
tempted to buy any fruit In Oregon or
Washington this year, but have secured
several b!g shipments from Idaho.

"KIXG VALET," 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."

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.

MARSHFIELD. Or., Oct 4. (Special.) The gasoline launch Marshfleld
was recently completed and put In service as a passenger boat by J. A.
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.

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.
