LOCATION
The Riverside Orchards is only 40 miles out of Portland, lying imme
diatelv adjacent to McMinnville, a prosperous city of over 3000 people. From
the center of the town to the center of the orchards is less than a ten-minute
drive. McMinnville is an educational center, has graded high schools and is
the seat of the Baptist College, has no saloons, has well-paved streets and
first-class municipal improvements, including a splendid water system and
electrie lights. There is no more delightful place in all of Oregon in. which
to live. Over sixty of these tracts front directly on the Yamhill River.
TRANSPORTATION
Riverside Orchards has two railroad lines, the Southern Pacific Railroad,
the Oregon Electric Railroad is preparing to build from Portland to Mc
Minnville. The steamer Leoaa runs from Portland twice a week. These give
unexcelled service for both passengers and freight, and bring the markets
within quicker touch than is usual in fruitraising communities.
SOIL
The soil of the Riverside Orchards is a rich, thoroughly-drained Willam
ette Valley loam. In some places the soil is 62 feet deep, making it an ideal
spot for growing fruits of all kinds.
We have selected Walnuts, Peaches and Cherries for the reason
that Peaches and Cherries give an early income, while Walnuts give
a permanent and ever-increasing return, the trees bearing for cen
turies. The trees have been selected personally by Mr. Frank Power,
the best man in this line on the Coast today.
The planting will be under the personal supervision of Mr. J. R.
Shepard, the well-known horticulturist, of Salem.
There are only 88 tracts and the demand will be big, so we sug
gest prompt action on the part of our customers.
Every undertaking that the Jacobs-Stine Company has gone into
has been a decided success. We want to say here that we have never
taken up any otheF proposition with more enthusiasm than we start
in with on the Riverside Orchards. The most prominent men in
McMinnville and that district tell us that there is nothing in the
country superior to the Riverside Orchards, and we believe them.
After you have seen this tract, you will believe it, too.
Send in and get our beantihilly-illustrated booklet on the River
side Orchards and Walnut Culture.
Our personal guarantee goes with each tract. We will take care of each orchard for four years
absolutely free of charge and turn it over with every tree perfect
SUNDAY GRAND, FREE EXCURSION-SUNDAY
We have arranged to take twenty-five guests tomorrow (Sunday, Nov. 8.) Transportation, including
drive over the orchard, absolutely free. Tickets and illustrated pamphlets with full details can be

Steam car will be removed from Fourth
street within one and one-half yeara front
today. This was announced positively by
General Manager J. P. O'Brien, of the
Harrlman lines, yesterday afternoon. Mr.
O'Brien said he had been authorlied by
th Eastern officers of the company to
begin work at once upon the Beaverto.t-
Willsbr.rg ciit-off. over which, when co-n-Dleted.
all the through West Bide traffic
of the Southern Pacific will come Into
Portland by way of the Em'. Side -or
main line. The. building of the cut-off
and the bridge across the river at Oi-
wego. about 11 miles In extent, will cost
about J.000. Further than this. Mr
O'Brien declined t- make any statement.
The company completed surveys and
purchased practically all the right-of-way
for the new line several months ago.
At that time the Harrlman people mane
an allowance of '$1,000,000 for Its construc
tion. Including the amount In a budget
of $2.0m.0tt for separate Improvements on
lines near Portland. There was some dif
ficulty In getting the right-of-way for a
part of the line, and the purchase of the
land was not completed until yesterday.
Mr. O'Brien Immediately notified the
board of directors of his success In the
deal and was authorized to begin work.
Just what will be done with the Fourth
street franchise when the new line Is
completed Is a matter of conjecture. Mr.
O'Brien declined to discuss the subject.
Other railroad men are more communi
cative. They say Southern Pacific engi
neers have been running over the line as
far as Forest Grove with a view to
electrifying it or reducing the grades so
as to make the line suitable for gasoline
motor cars, and that even now plans for
a new power line are In the hands of the
Harrlman company.
According to the most autnentlc story
the road will be electrified, first to Bea
verton and then to Hlllsboro and Forest
Grove. The work. It is said, will be com
pleted and cars ready to run Just as soon
as the trains move over the Oswego
bridge.
Work on the bridge may not be begun
for several months. River captains say
that at the present stage of the river
nothing can be done In the way of plac
ing piers. According t their statement
The Lilliputian stock company, com
posed of children of the Holy. Kosary
Parish, rendered a pleasing perform
ance last night in Alumni Hall, in the
Brothers' Christian College, on Grand
avenue and Clackamas street. The
play was called "Nlno"s Revenge." and
has three acts. There was a scene In
the forest, a street In Naples, and In
the chajel In San Gennaro's Convent.
The Darts were remarkably well given
the children, entering with spirit Into
the performance. The fine, large stage
In this hall enabled them to give the
play to the best advantage.
The cast was as follows: Rose Philip,
Nino Bravetta: Virginia Brown, Lucia,
his sister; Helen Southard, La Santa, a
nun; Josephine B. Hoben, Francesco
Galantl; Dorothy Connolly, Glovanl, his
page. The specialties were rendered by
Josephine Hoben, Rose Philip and Vir
ginia Brown. There was a large at
tendance. The "play was given under
the auspices of the Ladles' Altar So

BANQUET TO JAMES J. HILL AS
SEEN THROUGH FEMININE EYES
Railroad Scheme la Carried Out in Decorations, and Large Dining-Rooms
Present Pleasing Picture.
BY IJL1AN TINGLE.
THE banquet given last night by the
Portland Commercial Club and
Chamber of Commerce In honor of
James J. Hill and his party of railroad
magnates was a strictly masculine affair,
but by the courtesy of the committee
there were two "mere women," who
were fortunate enough to be admitted to
the sacred precincts and to inspect the
glittering banquet hall and the busy
kitchens Just before the great event of
trie evening came off.
The dark red walls of the dining-room,
with their panellings of Oregon fir. and
draping of tne National flag, made a
striking background for the long tables
with their burden of lustrous linen, sil
ver, and glass, all of which, other femi
nine minds may be Interested in knowing
were specially designed for the club.
Portland's rose appears woven In the dam
ask., engraved on spoons, forks and
glasses, and introduced, 'like the coat-of-arms
or crest of old-world royalty or
nobility, on the borders of the plates and
dishes.
Each long, rather narrow, table waa
effectively decorated with sprays of Ore
gon grape: while their wider circular
ends were banked with the same glossy
foliage and big yellow and white chrys
anthemums. Down the center of the table
of honor and round these circular ends
ran a minature railway with tunnels,
signals, switches and arc lights all com
plete, and an active little electric-run
train of cars, which came to a halt at
the station (with J-lnch high ticket col
lectors and passengers) opposite Mr.
Hill's seat. 'The best built railroad In
America" ran the legend above the rail.
The dinner favors at every place were
tiny gilded engines and railroad lanterns.
The railroad idea waa further empha
sised by the chime of engine bells ar
ranged on the balcony, to do duty as din
ner gong.
It was the eleventh hour and the 348
guests would be arriving In a very few
minutes: but any housewife, flustered in
expectation of "the folks" coming for
her Thanksgiving dinner, might take a
lesson In calmness, composure, and gener
alship from the head waiter, Ed. Hess,
who was marshalling his forces, 'answer
Ing 50 questions a minute, bearing up In
the face of delayed menu cards, and pac
ifying a babbling telephone with a smile
on his face and no visible marks of hurry
or strain.
"Get that gang from the kitchen" was
the order; and 35 waiters fell cheerfully
In line to answer the roll call.
"The kitchen is the busiest place In
the building." said our guide as he
steered us past the overflow dining
room, arranged in the grey green la
dles' grill room, and past the wine
room, with its pyrmlds of glasses and
Its huge tubs of cracked ice. The
kitchen was busy, certainly, but there
was no confusion or hurry among the
many white-capped workers. Smiles
and Jokes were being exchanged across
steam tables and orderly piles of rolls
and butter-pats. One stout chef was
sternly demanding of a subordinate,
"Where's them 400 dollies?" but with
less emotion than the ordinary house
wife would show in asking for "those
six extra teaspoons." Everything was
ready, and everybody at his post. '
What were they going to serve?
Well, the formal menu, in French, no
doubt appears, with the list of toasts
and speeches, in another column; but
here Is the plain United States of it:
Toke point oysters, green turtle soup
a la Royale (these "a la's" give style.
but do not always mean much to the
lay mind), celery, queen olives, salted
almonds even great men must nibble
between courses West Oregon salmon
a la Duperre, Perslllade potatoes. The
single entree was "sweetbreads a la
Valllere," followed by the sorbet "Par
fait Amour." Broiled chicken a la
Dellsle came next, in company with
green French beans. Asparagus salad
("Asparagus Is such a dressy salad."
says a hostess-friend of mine), and
then Ice cream, "surprise" style. Bon
bons in' paper cases. little assorted
cakes. Roquefort cheese and coffee
were the concluding items of this well
chosen menu. Of course, there were
other Items Martini cocktails, Sau
terne, champagne, cigarettes and
cigars; but these,
phrase of Barrie's
"words with which
cern."
But already the guests were assem
bling, passing under the arch of car
nations and smilax which formed the
words "Welcome to the North Bank
Road."
"That's Mr. Hill himself." said some
one. It was time for feminine visitors
to vanish: but "Weren't you glad to
get a glimpse of him?" said one. and
"Doesn't he look exactly like his pic
tures?" said the other.

Says Line Will Take Care of Traffic
for Years to Come Like Port
land People and Compliment
City on Great Growth.
"I really cannot say when the Spo
kane line will be opened," said Presi
dent Howard Elliott. "It Is completed
from here to Pasco and trains may run
Into Spokane over the Northern Pa
cific The line to Spokane is ready for
operation now, but I cannot. say when
It will be opened for traffic."
"When will the road be formally
opened for traffic?"
"Not until the line from Pasco to
Spokane is completed, which will be In
about four or five months. We shall
have the whole road ready in 1909.
And we shall have a road that will
give Portland a cause for pride. In
building or equipment there will not
be a better road In the United States
or, for that matter, in the whole world.
The road will be capable of handling
all traffic for years to come and it
will bring passengers into Spokane
within 10 or 12 hours after they leave
Portland.
"In building the road our Idea has
been to look not only after present
traffic, but also for traffic in the fu
ture. In the spoken language, we
move In advance. We try to anticipate
the needs of a community, for we know
that where we build business will fol
low." The city wishes to know about the
North Bank road and intentions of the
Great Northern-Northern Paclflc-Bur-lington
syndicate."
"There Is not much to say about that.
We are finishing work on all our im
provements, of which there are a num
ber besides the Pasco-pokane line I
spoke of. Here Is some history, almost
a day old now, that I may tell you. Mr.
Hill and his entire party viewed the
whole line from Pasco to Portland and
the Northern Pacific line from Kalama
to Vancouver. Our trip from Pasco to
Astoria has been written up, but our
return trip has not. Wa left Astoria
at 2 this morning, and at Goble we
took the ferry for Kalama. We looked
over the road from Kalama to Van
couver closely, and at the latter city
we started on our Journey back to
Portland over the Columbia and Wil
lamette River bridges. This section of
the road has been finely builded. It
will be our entrance to Portland for
Puget Sound traffic in the future.
"Now, may I say eomethlng? Tes?
Well. I want to say that I am greatly
gratified at the attitude of the Port
land people. During the Lewis Clark
Exposition they gave us a banquet and
tonight they give ua another. This Is
an indication of friendship on their
part, and the feeling is the same with
us. The people are the same as ever,
but the city has improved wonderfully
aurlng- the past five months. Building
Is going on all over." '
SISTER ALFRED IS DEAD
Secretary of St. Vincents Passes
Away After Month's Illness.
Sister Alfred, one of the most highly
esteemed of the Sisters of Charity,
who conduct St Vincent's Hospital,
and the secretary of that institution,
died at the Hospital last night at 6:50
following an Illness of a month's dura
tion. She had been a sufferer from
heart disease for many years. Her
name and gentle personality are fa
miliar to many Portland people, where
for the past 19 years she had been
one of the most sympathetic and untiring-
workers in the Institution. She
was 45 years and 11 days old and was
known outside her sisterhood as Miss
Susanna Eveline O'Brien.
She was born in Sydney, Australia,
but came to Oregon with her parents
when only 3 years old and has re
sided here ever since. At the age
of 15 she entered the sisterhood at
Vancouver, Wash., and came to St.
Vincent's Hospital ten years later.
During the years since she became the
secretary of the institution and trans
acted a great deal of its public busi
ness the work of the public charity
of the order has been largely In her
hands.
Two of her sisters were present at
her deathbed Sister Mary Rose, O. S.
K, of Mt. Angel, and Sister Gertrude,
of North Yakima, Wash. She is sur
vived by three other sisters Sister
Mary Margaret, O. S. B., of Mt. Angel,
Sister Mary Genevieve. O. S. B., of
Woodburn, and Mrs. J. F, Campeau,
of Aurora, Or. The funeral will occur
on Monday and the Interment will be
made In Vancouver, Wash.
The bereaved family and sisterhood
