TARPON". Wash.. Oct. 25. (To the
-Editor.) Having; spent my entire time
at Countj- Falra during the two weeks
ly.8?t. attending onr County Fair at
IFIevenson and at The Dalles, the ween
'rctnning; October 5 and four days last
(week at Hood River. I feel more than
:ver Impressed with the future possf
bliities of the Columbia River gorge
and its tributaries. At Hood River I
iput up and handled the Skamania
(County exhibit. The task of collecting
i. fihihtt waa no small matter, at
tended, as it was, with all sorts of
'difficulties, as Is always the case in a
Iregion where horticulture Is practically
unknown. Where the pruning nook
iand the spray pump are not used, and
the orchards unplowed for years. Such
of your readers who are familiar with
Hood River and Rome River methods
will, readily understand the handicap
under which 1 was in gathering and
displaying alongside of the Hood River
product the very nest appie m
world.
With this preface, let me say that
Skamania County, for variety of prod
ucts, beat anything under the great
big tent of tlif l(i boxes of peerless
apples. We showed them without irri
gation and vtry little cultivation:
Onions, potatoes, com on the atalk,
corn on the ear, ripened oiT and corn
In the glass Jar.
We showed apples of the following
varieties: Yellow Newtowns. Spltaen
bergs. Kavs. Northern Spies. Tellow
BWlflowcr. Hen Davis. Blue Pearmalns.
Wolf Rivers, and also some seedling
apples. By close comparison. It was
observed that orchards along the noith
bank of the Columbia, from Stevenson
eastward, are In the color belt.
We had popcorn, chestnuts of the
American sweet variety; English wal
nuts, oats in the sheaf, timothy, redtop,
red clover, pumpkins and squashes that
weighed .r pounds and better.
From the map. embracing the Co

annually seek and find relief from va
rious aliments: Carson Is the possessor
of two of the springs
We now have an enthusiastic and
Intelligent County Horticultural Asso
ciation, through the efforts of which
our initial Fair was pulled on during
the second week of this month, to the
credit of the exhibitors. This encour
aged a few enterprising citizens to
'place an exhibit at Hood River, of
which every Skamania County citizen
who saw It is proud.
The people of our county are now
very much In earnest, and a new era
Is dawning for us. We are only f0
miles from Portland, the coming city
of this great and giowing Northwest.
Our commercial advantages are so
closely allied with Oregon and Port
land that we are only Washlngtonlans
In name. With our enviable location
and excellent transportation facilities.
It requires no prophetic finger to point
to a time In the not distant future when
thla county shall grow Into commercial

who recently sunk an artesian well In
the west side of the city at a cost of
$32,000. '
Mr. Rose says that by December 1 he
will have 100 men at work laying pipes
and that lie expects to spend J100.O00
In the proper Installation of his water
system. He has a franchise granted
lilra by the City Counrll some months
ago. It is not his purpose to furnish
water for Irrigation but only for
household use. There are many cases
of typhoid In North Yakima this Fall,
and while it Is not certain that the
city water is responsible, there has
been considerable complaint about it
lately. Recent analysis of the water
furnished the city tty the No, thwest
t IJght Water Company taken from

EUGENE, Or., Oct. :5. (Special.)
This photograph shows a few of the
varieties of apples that are grown In
Lane County and which reliable fruit
men claim will make this section a
reputation If more growers give apples
the proper attention. The varieties are
the King. Spitxenberg. Baldwin and
Gravensteln. and were raised near Eu
gene on Fpuit Inspector Beebe s farm.
The fact that the few men who have
devoted their attention to apple-raising
here, using discrimination in tho, vari
eties grown, have produced the finest
tvpe of apple, is the basis upon which
the claim Is made that, with the atten
tion that Hood River and Rogue River
growers give their fruit, the apple here
could be grown to quite the same de
gree of perfection.

vast amount of land preparation done
this year for Spring crops.
There will be a great Increase in the
acreage sown to grain and other crops
next year, owing to the extension of lat
erals and enlargement of the irrigation
system accomplished by the work of the
season of 1!"08. for which clearing has
been in progress throughout the year and
is still under way. There are? thousands
of acres in sagebrush now that will be
plowed and seeded the coming Spring.
All of this work will be greatly facili

PATROL TO GUARD DITCH
WATER TCRKED IX MAIN" CAXAL
OF IMATILLA PROJECT.
Plenty Assured for Dry Season and
Breaks in Canal - Are No
Longer Feared.
PENDLETON". Or.. Oct. 25. 'Special.)
To the settlers on the Umatilla project
and the citizens of the town of Hermls
ton, the opening of the head gate to
the main feed canal Friday was an
event second In Importance only to the
formal opening of the project last Spring.
The water turned in Is the first that
has run through the main canal since
last June, when several washouts In suc
cession made it necessary to shut the
water off entirely and line the canal for
a distance of a mile with concrete. This
work was only recently completed.
This early completion of the repair
work and the fuming in of the water.
Insures an adequate supply for the set
tlers on the project. Though It will be
several days yet before , a full . head of
water is running in the canal. It wlil
require only 100 days to fill the mammoth
Cold Springs reservoir.- Barring unfore
seen contingencies this will be done
early In February and from. that time on
till about June 1 or until the river becomes
so low that water can be no longer
taken from It. the settlers will- be fur
nished with their water direct from the
main feed canal. The storage water
In the reservoir will, therefore, be kept
for use during June and the dry months
following.
As the reservoir will hold water enough
to cover every acre included In the
project, to a depth of " three feet, and
as only one-third of the project Is now
open, there will be.no scarcity of water
on the project next season.
In order that adequate protection
might be afforded from loss 'in the fu
ture, two ditch riders and a gatekeeper
will be employed at all times. The gate
keeper will live at the head gate and
one of the ditch riders will ride along
the banks of the canal during the day
and the-other at night... The contract
has already been let for the erection of
the house for the keeper to live In and
stables for the horses of the ditch riders.
-A private telephone - line will be In
stalled along the line of the canal, with
frequent stations, so that in case breaks
are discovered the gatekeeper can be
notified at once, and thereby enabled
to shut off the water supply Immediately,
thus preventing damage to crops and
further damage to the canal walls. When
the ditch broke, last Spring, a part of the
O. R. & N. railroad track was washed
away.- The bottoms and sides of the
canal at that point have been lined
with cement and It is not believed any
further trouble will be experienced there.

TO EMPLOY 75 MEN
New Sawmill Will Be Estab
lished at Oregon City.
STOCK BEING SUBSCRIBED
John W. Moffett. Experienced Mill
Man, Is Promoting Undertaking.
Local Market Would Consume
Large Part ot Output.
OREGON CITT, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
With a capital of $75,000 in sjght, the
organization of a lumber company to
operate a mill with a capacity of 75,000
feet a day is in progress at Oregon City,
with every chance of success. The promo
tion department is in the hands of John
W. Moffett, for many years with the
Willamette Pulp A Paper Co.. and C. S.
Keller, who has been connected with the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company and the
Tongue Point Lumber Company and is
an experienced lumberman.
It is proposed to take over the plant
of the Oregon City Mill & Lumber Com
pany and consolidate with machinery for
a sawmill that is now situated at Als
paugh, Clackamas County, and owned by
W. G. Bohn, now of Portland, but for
merly a successful lumberman of Wis
consin. Mr. Bohn has taken stock In
the proposed concern to the value of
$20,000, and is willing to assume even
more.
To Hare Well-Equipped Plant,
The Oregon City Mill & Lumber Com
pany has a plant that is well equipped to
turn out finished products, with a sash
and door factory, dry kilns, etc., but it
has been handicapped for the want of a
sawmill, being compelled to "purchase its
sawed timber in the open markets, and
thereby entering into competition with
planing mills and Victories with facili
ties for handling the raw product. The
plant, was recently sold to the Northern
California. Lumber Company, or rather
traded for stoclc in the California con
cern, but the local men have obtained an
option to purchase It, and If the new
deal goes through, the entire plant will
be kept in Oregon City.
This will also mean that at least 75
men will receive steady employment, and
the payroll, instead of disappearing en
tirely, will be Increased from $2000 to
about J800D monthly. Even the employes
of the Oregon City Mill & Lumber Com
pany have shown their faith in the new
project by subscribing for stock to the
amount of J2000. and the present stock
holders of the company have taken about
$4000.
With a capital stock of $75,000 the new
company -will have $25,000 for working
capital. The stock Is divided into 750
shares, end the Crown-Columbia Pulp &
Paper Company, which owns the site of
the mill, has tacitly agreed to extend
the lease five years, giving it 13 years
to run..
Logging Problem Easy One.
Mr. Moffett, who has gone into the
whole matter very carefully, and who Is
known to be a practical man, says that
the logging features present no difficul
ties, as the tributaries of the Upper Wil
lamette will supply all the logs neces
sary for years to come. The paper mills
at Oregon City pay 26 cents per 1000 for
the towage of logs and procure enough
during the high water of May, June and
July to last for the rest of the year, and
the new lumber company could follow
this plan. There are immense bodies of
timber in Clackamas County that are
practically untouched and a logging rail
road is one of the possibilities in connec
tion with the project, running out of
Oregon City and taking an easy grade up
the Abernethy. This is the route of the
proposed Oregon City, Beaver Creek &
Molalla Railroad.
BOND ISSUE UP TO VOTERS
Question of City Ownership to Be
Decided at Grants Pass.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
This city will for the first time exercise
the referendum in amending Its present
charter. By ordinance No. 326, the voters
will be called upon to amend section 133
of the city charter, which provides for
municipal ownership of city water works.
The present proposition, if the amendment
carries, will authorize the Council to Issue
bonds In the sum of $M,000 for the Rogue
River water plant.
Many voters are in favor of the amend
ment, but there is a feeling that the
present plant is not worth that amount
of money, and believe that the sum to be
raised should be used for a new city
plant. Quite an interest is being mani
fested for and against the amendment,
and much literature Is being distributed
upon the streets in the shape of dodgers
that point out arguments pro and con
upon the situation. A special election to
decide the matter has been called for
October 27.
NEW LIBRARY ASSURED
Hoqulam Council Makes Appropria
tion for Site.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Oct. 25. (Spehlal.)
That Hoquiam will soon have a fine Car
negie Library is an established fact, the
City Council having purchased a site on
the comer of Seventh and K streets, cen
trally located, for $5000. It has also ap
propriated $2500 annually for maintenance.
Mr. Carnegie will furnish t25.000 for the
project and work will be rushed.
The McCrimmon residence, a building
costing over J3000. will probably be left on
the library site temporarily and used for
library purposes until plans are In readi
ness for the construction of the library
building proper.
Painting Grants Pass Factories.
GRANTS PASS. Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
The large warehouses of this place
which occupy prominent positions near
the depot and in the railroad yards will
be decidedly improved by the use of
paint and whitewash. This movement
has been brought about by the elvie
improvement "workers, who have urged
upon the owners of the buildings the
necessity of such improvement. When
this work has been completed, the rail
road yards and abutting buildings will
have a neat appearance from both local
and traveiers view. The initiatory step
in carrying out these plans has been
taken by the Grants Pass Fruit Ex
change, which is now putting two coats
of paint over its , packing-house.

WAKE UP,
OREGONIANS
Other Sections Are Steal
ing the Benefits of Your
Free Publicity.
A striking example of how a great
state like Oregon is worsted in the
race for colonists is affordd in the
current edltton of The Fruit Grower,
the great . Fruit Paper, published in
St. Joseph. Mo.
And It isn't the fault of the Fruit
Grower.
James M. Irvine, the founder and
editor of The Fruit Grower, is an ex
ceedingly modest man.
He has been through the fruit dis
tricts of the Northwest several times
in the last ten years, and has been so
quiet, about It that few people, aside
from fruit men, have realized that our
country's most Influential writer on
fruit culture was in our midst.
Mr. Irvine made one of these quiet
trips this Fall. He spent time In Col
orado, . Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon.
As he travelled, he observed and
made notes, and when he got back
to his editorial sanctum he wrote a
long article an article which with its
profuse photo-illustrations occupied
56 columns In the current issue of his
publication more than all the rest of
the reading matter combined. The ar
ticle deals most appreciatively with,
fruit culture in the Northwest, and
especially with the opportunities for
the eastern farmer to come here and
raise fruit. While It was not written
with that purpose, the article will have
the effect of Influencing hundreds of
farmers In favor of buying fruit lands
in the territory about which he wrote.
Now here is the point of what I am
writing:
Some advertisers. Interested In col
onization and sale of fruit lands, were
wise enough to take advertising space
in this issue. Like myself, , they
learned about Mr. Irvine's trip. In ad
vance, and realized what a splendid
advertising opportunity was afforded
by the edition in which his great arti
cle would appear.
Jn all these advertisers -used II
columns of advertising space to ap
propriate to themselves a large part
of the benefit of 5 columns of reading
matter.
Now, what percentage, do you sup
pose, what percentage of that 56
columns of reading matter was about
Oregon? There was 46 per cent near
ly half.
What percentage of the advertising
pace was used for Oregon? Only 3
per cent a thirtieth.
Our cleverer neighbors to the North
east In the Spokane country what
did they do?
Having the benefit of only 18 per
cent of the reading matter, they used
59 per cent of the advertising space
thereby procuring for themselves over
half the benefit of Mr. Irvine's editor
ial work a half that should have been
retained by Oregon, especially as Mr.
Irvine In his article devoted nearly
half, his space to Oregon.
Study these figures for just a second:
FREE PUBLICITY
Oregon S6 cols., 46 per cent
Spokane Country 10 cols., 18 per cent
Other Sections ...19 cols., 38 per cent
PAID ADVERTISEMENTS
Oregon hi cols., per cent
Spokane Country 9 cols., 59 per cent
Other Sections ...6 cols., ZlVt percent
o
Some folks and smart folks, too
may think this Is greatly to Oregon's
advantage to merit and procure
nearly half this splendid free publi
city, while paying for only a thirtieth
of the advertising.
But the facts are, that while Ore
gon deserves and obtains tremendous
free publicity, especially through Tom
Richardson's work the facts are that
It is the paid advertising which actual
ly draws the Inquiries from homeseek
ers, and ultimately draws the home
seekers themselves. That is why
those sections, like California, Arizona,
Texas. Oklahoma, Wyoming, the Spok
ane Country and Alberta, which are
paying for advertising, are this Fall,
getting the most oj the inquiries and
most of the colonists.-
o
Oregon's experience with the Irri
gation fund over again that's what
!t is. Oregon contributes more to the
irrigation fund than any other state,
and most of the money goes to develop
other states. Oregon deserves more
free publicity than any other state, on
her merits, and gets fewer colonists.
Why?
The reason for Oregon's being dis
tanced In both cases Is Alike Oregon
Is not kept definitely before the people
by peralstent paid advertising as are
the other states. The other states are
shrewd, smart advertisers, and they
get the benefit of publicity, Irrigation
funds, river and harbor appropriations
and a good many other, things that on
merit oughf to come to Oregon. .
o
Now then. Messrs. Oregonlans, I
tfnnori Mr Irvine's article off to your
leading publicity men and land com
panies threo months ago, and followed
the Information up by personal letters
and personal solicitation. It was your
fault that you did not take advantage
of this. I asked you for your ads
and got a few, lamentably few. There
was so few they barely paid the post
age on the first announcement, to say
nothing of the postage on the personal
letters I sent out. So you are the
losers, through failing to take advant
age of your opportunity. Other com
peting states will get the benefit of
the publicity so splendidly earned by
your great development work.
o
It's high time right now that you
get busy and appropriate for your
selves some of these benefits being
scattered so freely by these great fruit
papers, farm papers and magazines.
Advertise, from now on, regularly. In
The Fruit Grower and other papers of
equal high standing papers that are
all the time pulling results on coloni
sation advertising actual inquiries
and real colonists.
Get In'.o these papers with your ad
vertisements, and stay In them. j
Write me for a list, with advertis
ing rates.
This office is equipped right up to
date with rate, information. sample
copies, etc., of ovar 25,000 publications.
and I know from experience which
arc the ones which pull the inquiries
from the homoscekcrs.
Write today for this select list it
costs you nothing.
