MEANS
MUCH TO SALEM
Extension of Fall River Rail
way Business Feeder
for Capital City.
DIRECT ROUTE TO COAST
Primarily a Logging Road, Line
Will Give Outlet to Kich Kick
real I Section of Folk County
and Siletz Country.
8ALJ3M. Nov. 15. (Special The ox
tension of the Salem, Kails City West
em Railroad from the present terminus
at Dallas to thls-city promises more than
.any other one enterprise for the indus
trial development of Sstleni. All sign in
dicate that the road will be extended not
only to the heavy timber in the Siletl
country, but to the coast "as well, thus
affording a shorter route for travel to the
beach in the Summer. Host of the grad
ing has been done for the road between
La!las and Salem, and as soon as fair
weather In the Spring will permit, the
rails will be laid.
The road Is important to Salem for two
reasons. It will enable the local sawmill
to double its capacity and will afford con
venient means for the people of Inde
pendence. Monmouth. lallas and tho
whole Rlckreall Valley to reach Salem to
transact business. The sawmill is owned
hy the Spauldir.g Iosslng Company,
whose stockholders are among the prin
cipal promoters of the railroad. The road
will be primarily a lugging roaa. mw
principal business at tlrst will be to haul
logs, for the local mill. The mill now
has a capacity of ;.i feet of lumber
every ten hours, but. owing to the dtf
ficultv In securing logs. It does not turn
out quite that much per day. Neverthe
less, the pavroll here at Salem reaches
per month, and other expenditures
by the company make the business worth
S)00 a month to S;ilem.
Bring Kusinef to City.
W hen logs can be secured by rail every
dav. instead of at irregular times, as the
elage of the river will permit, the ca
pacity of the mill can be nearly doubled
and the payroll fully doubled. More than
that, wheu'the road has been extended to
Salem, many of the workmen employed
In the logging camps will keep their fam
ilies here and come here to spend Sunday.
tupplles for the camps will be purchased
more extensively here. From the lumber
business alone the wage-earners and bus
iness men of Salem should receive some
thing like -..i) a month when the mill
runsnt full capacity, day and night.
But the completion of the road will
mean much to the city because of the
business It will bring here from Folk
emmtv. The bottom lands n the Rick
reall country are among the richest in the
state, and dairying has become an impor
tant industry there. More attention to
also being given to fruitgrowing and the
large farms are being rapidly subdivided.
A large part of the business of this ter
rllr n soing
Salem when transportation facilities he
been provided by the completion of the
railroad. In all probability within a year
after the completion of the road anient
will be doing a business amounting to
jlOftW a month directly and indirect y due
, the road and the sawmill. Should the
condition of the lumber market terl
allv Improve, the capacity of the local
mill could he easily Increased by an en
largement of the plant, for the company
na? recently purchased considerable ad
dltional ground for buildings and yards.
lCcalize Hoads Importance.
Kxtension of the road to the coast Is as
vet an indefinite project, but in v. ew of
the richness of the soil in the ilotx conn
trr the vast amount of valuable timber
there slid the large beach travel from the
Willamette Valley in the Summer, there
7dM that the road will
handle traffic between the illiinielte
Hiver and the ocean. Construction work

BIG PROJECTS AT YAKIMA
Scope of Work. Justifies Title Given
It of "Power City."
NORTH T A K IMA. Wash.. Nov. 13.
(Special.) With four big irrigation
and power projects under course of
construction In the immediate vicinity
of North Yakima, with several new
Irrigation schemes afoot in the lower
valley, and with the big Government
canal from the Tieton River to be com
pleted next year, it looks as if North
Yakima would justify the sobriquet
given here recently by President Rob
ert K. Strahorn. of the North Coast
Road, of "the power city."
Announcement has just been made of
another electric power project, backed
bv local capital, which plans to de
velop from 4000 to 5000 horsepower
from the Naches River. A site for the
power house has been secured, engi
neers have surveyed the project, and
consider It not only feasible, but among
the distinctly good propositions of the
sort in the West. The most ambitious
enterprise, and that involving the out
lay of the most capital. Is that of the
Northwest Light & Power Company,
which will undertake to furnish light
and power throughout the entire length
of the valley. A plan to. extend the
canal through the Moxee Valley to the
Cnion Gap has received favorable de
cision from George S. Rankin, presi
dent of the Yakima Valley Transpor
tation Company. It will put under irri
gation several thousand acres of fruit
land comparing favorably in soil and
situation in the frost belt with some of
the choicest land in. North Yakima. An
other project is to develop the East
Selah Valley, using water from the
Yakima River.
STEAM SHOVELS MAKING DEEP
CUT XEAR TOWX.
Work of Leveling I p Kailroud
Yards Begins and Tracklaying
Will Soon Be In Progress.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) "Work lias started on making the
deep cut for the railroad through from
the depot site at Klamath Falls to the
shore of Cpper Klamath Lake. Two steam
shovels arrived here ten days ago, and
one of these is making the big cut at
the south end of Lake Rwauna. about
two miles from the depot site, and the
other is located at the south end of the
big cut at the east lde of town. Two
small locomotives and a number of dirt
cars were brought In Jast week and will
be used in hauling the dirt from the big
cut, over a temporary track for grading
and leveling the yards. The railroad
yards at Klamath Falls will be 300 feet
in width and about three-quarters of a
mile in length. A tract of 27 acres on,
the east side of the yards will be utilized
for roundhouse, shops and buildings used
for terminal and division purposes.
It is announced by the foreman In
charge locally for Brickon & Petterson
that a force of 150 men will be employed
In making the big cut and building the
yards within the next two weeks, and
that no time will be lost in prosecution
of construction. Between the eafft shore
of Lower Klamath Lake and Klamath
Falls, a distance of about eight miles,
nearly half of the) grade is now finished,
and two big camps established where
grade Is being built to fill In the gaps.
It looks as if tracklaylng may be in prog
ress to Klamath FallB soon after the first
of January. If the work across the swamp
land can be finished by that time.
EUGENE PMESJI1 BLOCKS
CITx MAKES RECORD IX EIGH
TEEN" MONTHS.
Property Values Increase and Op
ponents of Improvements Have
Become Advocates.
Bl'GBXB, Or., Nov. IB. (Special.)
Within the past IS months Bngene has
paved SO blocks with bltulithic pavement,
at a cost of over JSO.OOO. The street im
provements during the last 12 months,
outside of the paving, amount to more
than any formor period of five years.
The paving season will close for the Win
ter In about two weeks, although Eugene
will not stop paving at that time, as pe
titions are in from property-holders to
continue the work as long as practicable.
While there were a number of people
who opposed the paving in the beginning,
the increase in property values in every
case has amounted to much more than
the cost of laying the pavement. Many
who firot opposed the movement are now
its strongest advocates, and Eugene is
not satisfied with having the best-made
streets of any city outside of Portland in
the state, but she will push the improve
rrients in every direction as rapidly as
conditions will permit.
It is possible now to drive more than
two miles in one general direction with
out getting o(T the paved streets. In the
business section of town the cross streets
and allevs have been paved in such a
wav that the traffic is easy to all parts
Of the business district.
The paving extends from illamette
street directly east on Eleventh street. to
the railroad crossing in front of the Lni
verslty campus, a distance of nearly a
"'Eighth street extends from Willamette
to Blair street, in the western pan "J
town about the same distance, while the
two streets reaching toward the eastern
and western limits of the city went con
nected by the pavement on Willamette
eTreet which extends from the Southern
Pacific station, or about Fourth street,
south to Thirteenth street.

Heavy Advance in Price of
Apple and Pear Orchards
in Valley of Rogue.
$160,000 FOR ONE FARM
Purchasers Well Satisfied W ith Bar.
gains Beal Estate Dealers Con
fident of Continued Advance
In Property Values.
BY JAMES D. FAY.
JIEDFORD, Or., Nov. 15. (Special.)
Sales of farm and orchard lands within
a radius of 12 miles of Medford, made
through the agency of real estate men
o this city, are Jl. 000,000 greater for
1908 than for the year 1907, reaching a
grand total of Jl. 503,030, as against
S300.000 for last year.
Thi increase may be accounted for
both in the larger number of transfers
and also by the heavy advance in
values. One orchard was sold early
In the year for $10,000, resold a few
months later for Jlo.000, and recently
sold again for $20,303. an Increase of
100 per cent In less than a year. An
other small tract sold for $4500 six
months ago, was resold for $7030 three
months later", and the new owner has
been offered J8000. but .efiised to sell.
Eighty thousand dollars has been re
fused for a tract which was purchased
for Jf2.690 a short time ago.
Sharp Advance- In Values.
Nearly every large orchard In this
vicinity has changed hands during the
past year at a big advance in price
over the original cost to the owner
the two notable exceptions being the
Burrell and the Hopkins orchards.
Among the big deals made were the
sales of the Lewis orchard, which .ield
the carload record for Cornice "ears
last year, for $160,003; the '401" orch
ard, formerly owned by Dr. E. B.
Plckel. not yet In bearing, for Jl 13,030;
the fRmous Hillcrest orchard, another
record breaker for prices for Cornice
pears, for J78.000; the Bybee River
ranch, sold recently to Honore Palmer,
of Chicago, for J38.0H0; the Patterson
farm, near Talent, for $52. 600, and the
Pellett orchard for $60,003. There are
numerous other sales running from
$10,030 up. and we have a month and a
half in which to reach the $2,000,000
mark.
Apple Land at $825 an Acre.
The high-water mark In price per
acre was reached In the sale of the
J. E. Watt orchard, near Medford, con
sisting of 20 acres, which was sold last
Spring for $S25 per acre.
A feature Is that there Is not a single
dissatisfied purchaser to be found.
Everyone of them is more than satis
fied with his bargain and will not let
go unless given a substantial advance
over ills original investment. Dealers
are looking for a continued upward
movement next year, both in price and
volume of salrs. more especially as it
is probable that several of the large
orchards will be cut up Into smaller
holdings and placed upon the market.
Prosperous Year Predicted.
Not only has there been a big in
crease in values, but more prosperity
much more lias changed hands this
year than last. The end is not yet.
Next year will show another great "up
ward movement, both In the volume of
property sold and also In the price for
which it is sold. The bottom isn't due
to fall out of the land values In this
valley -yet. It is a double-riveted, steel
lined, copper-jacketed bottom and war
ranted to last.
TREATMENT KILLS GRAIN
Hundreds of Acres of Wheat Will
Have to Be Keseeded.
WALLA WALLA, Nov. 15. (Special.)
Hundreds of acres of wheat in the east
ern part of the county which were seeded
early in the season with wheat washed
In a strong chemical preparation and
soaked in vitriol, will have to be resceded
before a crop is harvested. Notwithstand
ing there has been excellent weather for
growing purposes for the past few weeks
the seed which was sown has not sprout
ed, and investigation reveals the fact that
the life germ of the cereal has been de
stroyed. It is believed the vitriol and
washing given the grain was too severe
and in that way the germ was killed.
It was thought that by an extra heavy
treatment of the grain, the smut which
has been so prominent on wheat for the
past few seasons could be completely
eradicated. This would, in the opinion of
prominent and experienced growers, have
been effective, had the treatment not been
too severe.
Karmers in several instances are al
ready reseeding the fields and hope to
harvest a Targe area of the affected dis
trict next season, despite the setback
which has been received.

TTnderwood flat and down from points
above the White Salmon River with 100
and more crates of berries each day.
while the town of White Salmon had six
or eight crates waiting in its station.
Newcomers Brifted across from Hood
River, wondering, in spite of arguments
to the contrary, if there could be any
desirable property in this vicinity. They
had heard of the early strawberries and
the general south slope of the country,
and that things grew without irrigation.
Then they saw Baldwin apples as red as
Spitz, and it didn't take much more to
induce them to Join forces here and
settle down.
Next came James R. McCraken, one
of Portland's business men, and J. K.
Slade. an Easterner, and others who
bought and at once took charge of large
bearing orchards a short distance up the
valley, whose fruit will go East in car
load lots. At the regular monthly meet
ing of the lnderwood and White Salmon
Valley Improvement Club, an organiza
tion was formed to handle and ship the
fruit. A stock company was also incor
porated to build and operate storage fa
cilities and to improve the wharf, over
which some of the more perishable fruits
are quickly transported by boat to Port
land. There are 30 miles and more of this
comparatively undeveloped valley.
BUY LAND FOR FARMING
Baker City Company Formed to De
velop Stump Lands.
BAKER CITV, Or., Nov. 15. (Spe
cial.) Believing that lands along the
Sumpter Valley Railroad from which
the timber has been removed can be
made Into farm lands, John L. Rand,
one of the leading attorneys of this
city, and Frank S. Bailie, manager of
the Columbia Gold Mining Company in
the Sumpter district, have become in
terested In a project which will be of
considerable importance to Baker
County. They have interested several
other people with them, and have
formed what is known as the Sumpter
Land Company.
It is their intention to take over a
large acreage owned by the Oregon
Lumber Company, and upon which they
have options. A portion of this will

the remainder will be used for dry
farming. Only recently has the belief
existed that lands upon which timber
has grown would grow grass and grain,
vt here campers had fed their horses
some time back it is noticed that tim
othy is growing to such a size that
warrants an opinion that the entire
country along the Sumpter Valley Rail
road can be made to produce.

ABOUT 1000 CARS SHIPPED
Vigorous Crusade Is Carried On
Against Pests and Result
Surpasses Most Sanguine
Hopes of Fruitgrowers.
WALLA WALLA, Nov. K tSpocial.)
The total cash value of the fruit crop of
the Walla Walla Valley for the season
just closing will amount to $1,000,000. Re
cent estimates of the number of cars of
fruit shipped from this territory since the
beginning of the strawberry season, June
1, place it at close to 1000. These figures
are based on statements prepared by offi
cials of the Northern Pacific and O. R.
& N. Railroads.
Buyers and commission men claim the
grower receives on an average from J1O0O
to $1200 for each car of fruit shipped out.
This. then, leaves growers in the terri
tory immediately adjacent to Walla Walla
a net income from their industries for
this season of approximately $1,000,000.
. When it is considered that the total
wheat crop of Walla Walla County will
only total $3,000,000 for the season, the real
magnitude of the fruitgrowing industry
here can be realized. Two years ago the
fruit productions of the valley, when com
pared with the value of the cereal crop,
were as insignificant sum, but in another
two years, if the interest and tone of the
fruitgrowing industry continues as it has
for the past two seasons, and there irt
everything to bear out the idea that it
will, the fruit industry will rival if not
supersede the growing of the great king
of farm products, wheat.
The quality of fruit exported from the
suffering, danger and rear
that she looks forward to the critical hour with apprehension and
dread. Mother's Friend, by its penetrating and soothing properties,
allays nausea, nervousness, and all unpleasant feelings, and so
prepares the system for the ordeal that she passes through the event
safely and with but little suffering, as numbers have testified and said,
"it is worth its weight in gold."

CHARLES COOPEY & SON. 309 Oak t
Walla Walla Valley this scafion is by far
superior to that grown here in any sea
son in the past. Where last year, and
for a number of seasons previous, many
wormy apples were gathered, the trees
have been peculiarly free from any of tho
pesls to clean fruit which have been so
noticeable in other parts of the country.
At least 97 per cent of the apple crop
thi year has been entirely free from
scale and worms, while at the same time
in previous years, as much as 50 per cent
of tho crop has been infected.
If is believed that the present conditions
are due to the vigorous and persistent in
spection of Couniy Fruit Inspector C. L.
Whitney and his efficient corps of as
sistants. In the early Spring the order
was sent out to every grower in the val
ley that strict observance of the spraying
laws must be adhered to. Under no cir
cumstances Was any fruit to lie sold with
the least bit of infection in it. This
seemed to arouse the orchardmen, and
they at once prepared to carry on a vig
orous campaign against the pests anil
worms in fruit trees. The result has been
astonishing. But one or two Instances of
confiscation of fruit have occurred in tho
county this season, as against scores last
year.
Orchardmen are preparing to place In a
large area of fruit trees this Winter, tho
maiotitv being apples and prunes. Nur
serymen here cannot nearly fill orders for
trees, so great is the demand.
AGITATE ELECTRIC ROAD
Coos Bay Wants Communication
With Koseburg.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. Nov. 33. (Special.)
Coos Bay people have not Riven up tho
idea of building an electric line from
Marshfield to Roseburg. 3uch a plan
was brought forward .a year or so agoi
and Douglas County men subscribed $2.V,
000. if Coos Bay would put up a like
amount. The plans fell through, however.
Now there is serious discussion of such a
scheme, and Coos Bay business mrn -believe
that a movement in that direction
should again be made.
It is thought that if $.V)0.000 was raised
it would build 20 miles of the road, and
that money for the rest of the constric
tion could easily be obtained by bond
ing. The road from Myrtle Point to
Roseburg, which is now used by one of
the stage lines, is thought to be the on
which would cost less for construction
and at the same time tap a more valuable
farming country than would be found on
the Coos Bay wagon road.
Is to love children, and no
home can be completely
happy without them, yet
the ordeal through which
the expectant mother must
pass usually is so full of
