OREGON-IAN XEW3 BUREAl', Wash
ington, Jan. 24. In Oregon and. In fact.
In many parts of the Northwest, a trans
ition from a frralr.frrowlns and stock
raising country to one of small farms de
voted to Intensive ajrrlculture Is rapidly
talcing place. hrre now exists vast
sa?e-covered plains, valleys and hill
lopes, extensive ranges devoted to the
raising of cnttlr. fcini s and sheep, and
frroln ranches covering hundreds of acres,
there will, within the next few years,
be established a muiiituda of small farms
devoted to intensive agriculture. Where
now exiFts here and there an unpreten
tious and cheerless ranch house there will
In a f"w yi ars be scores of prosperous,
fcappy homes. ,
Tho difference is to be found, however.
In the numh-r of people who receive the
benefits. When. In years past, an oc
casional large r.and of cattle or sheep
were driven 10) miles or more to the rail
road, w-here they could bo chipped to
market, the profits were received ty two
or three or possibly by a single man. In
the years to come when the varied prod
ucts are shipped out by the train loads
the profits will Increase the bank ac
counts of hundreds of people.
These products of the future will also
differ vastly from those of the past. In
stead of b'In? con.lned to those "which
can walk out." as has been the case in
many isolated districts, no such re
strictions will now he placed upon them,
for with the coming of a dense popula
tion there will, also come better provision
fir transportation. livestock will con
tinue to be one of the most Important
products of many sections, but to this
will be atld"d dairy products, alfalfa,
grain produced unJ.r irrigation, timothy,
clover and grain hay. alfalfa seed, po-.
tatocs. gard' n truck, hops, fruits, poul
try and thi many other products which
the fertile soils of these regions will
produce.
Bureau Ilelns Farmers.
In this transition from a country poor
v supporting a few people to one sup
plying comfortable homes for many, and
a country sending out few products for
the support of the remainder of the world
to one of numerous and valuable exports,
the Bureau of Soils of the United States
Liepartment of Agriculture Is playing an
Important part.
The work of the Hureau of Soils con
sists njt only In showing the farmer
what these problems are and how lo deal
with them, but also how to see and study
them for himself. It matters not whether
he has or has not had experience In
farming under Iiriatii.n. the work done
by the Hureau of Soils Is of value to him.
A xood example of this work Is to be
found In the Klumath ftasln. Oregon and
California, where a vast area of about
:no "00 acres Ik being brought under Irri
gation and settle,! as rapidly as It Is pre
pared for the water. A part of this Is
tule maish and another part lake-bed
r.ow under from three to 15 feet of water,
whieh will He reclaimed by draining.
The past year tho Hureau of Soils sent
experienced men into the Klamath Ba
sin who went over It section by section
and made a thorough study of the soils
and soil condirlons. Including not only
the upland soils, but also those which
are to be reclaimed.
Soil .Map Sent Out.
A map was also constructed showing
the areas covered by different soils and
a report prepared describing these soils.
ugcestlng the best methods of handling
them, and the croj s for which they are
best suited. The value of this work to
the people of the Klamath" Basin can
scarcely be estimated, but Its value is
not confined to residents alone, for by Its
Use prospective settlers may determine
to a considerable extent whether or not
the country will produce the products
which they wish to raise.
These areas of transition, however,
are not confined to the Klamath Basin,
for Oregon is a vast empire the re
sources of which are but scarcely
known to the residents themselves and
undreamed of by the world at large.
The area alone Is impressive, for with
Its 95.274 square miles." or nearly 64.
(Mio.OOO acres, it Is as large as all the
New England Slates, with Indiana
added, and larger than New York and
Pennsylvania combined. It now has a
population of only about 600.000 people,
but were this vast area populated as
densely as Switzerland, it would sup
port 12.000,000 reople. or as England,
40.000. 000 people. In conditions of soil,
climate and natural resources, Oregon
has vastly the advantage of either of
these countries, for Oregon's greatness
is not expressed In extent of acres
alone.
There are thousands of acres of semi
arid, non-irrigable land, valuable for
grazing purposes alone, but there are
other sections as large as entire East
ern States devoted to toe raising of
fruits, grain, garden truck, hops and
berries. The Willamette Valley alone
contains 4.000.000 acres of tillable land,
exclusive of 1. 000.000 acres more of ad
jacent tillable hill land. Rogue Klver
Valley and Its tributary valleys con
tain 105.000 acres: Hood River Valley,
famous for Its tine apples, contains
Sn.000 acres: Grand Ronde Valley. 14o,
000 acres: Columbia River Valley, 40.
OuO acres: the I'mattlla Irrigation proj
ect. 40.000 acres; the ITmpqua Valley,
12S.000 acres; the Coos Bay district,
noted for Its valuable dairy products,
a considerable area; Lake County dis
trict. 100.000 acres of Irrigable land.
Tr.ere is also the Malheur Basin with
l'lO.OOO acres: The talles district, in
which an Important fruit Industry is
being developed; Mosler Valley, with
25.000 acres, and many others. In all
of these the same transition which is
going on In the Klamath Basin la now
taking place. The stock range and
extensive grain farms are giving way
to small farms, orchards and gardens.
New settlers are coming In, and the
demand for such help as the bureau
of soils can gtve Is greatly needed,
and the work of the bureau Is being
extended in this state as rapidly as
possible.
To Build Logging Railroad.
CATHLO.MET. Wash.. Jan. M. (Spe
cial.) The Portland Lumber Company, of
Portland. Or., has recently purchased sev
eral sections of fine Umber land a short

Clothing ' Torn From His Body,
Prompt Action of Driver Saves
Life of "Chips."
Harry Johnson, carpenter on board
the steamship Senator, narrowly es
caped a horrible death in the steam
winch Friday evening, shortly after the
steamer had left the Portland dock.
His coat became 'entangled in the gear
of the anchor winch and. with the ex
ception of his trousers and shoes,
everything he wore was stripped from
him. Only the prompt action of the
winch driver saved his life.
The heavy current In the Willamette
made it necessary to swing the Senator
on a stern line. The dock piling car
ried away and the ship was compelled
to drop anchor In order to straighten
up. It waa in heaving up the anchor
