HERM1STQN CITY
OF BIG PROMISE
Less Than Three Years Old,
Place Already Teems With
Industrial Life. .
BUSINESS IS MOST ACTIVE
Surrounding Country Made Fertile
by Irrigation, so That Crops of
I Many Kinds Give Big Re
turns Every Season.
HERMISTON, Or.. June 13. (Special.)
Less than three years ago. amid sage
brush and sand, amid "jumpins-jacks"
and prowling coyotes, was born of irri
gation what promises to be the garden of
Knstern Oregon, Hermiston Valley.
What the famous Yakima Valley Is to
Washington, the Vallev of KcrmUinn win
be to Oregon; what the City of North
Yakima is to the valley which bears its
name, Hermiston will be to Hermiston
I Valley.
The rapid yet conservative and substan
tial growth of this little town is a marvel
to all visitors. From a sagebrush plain
a fbort time ajro. it has developed Into a
thrifty community of more than 600 peo
ple, with as many more located outside
the corporate limits on small tracts.
Big Growth Promised.
With from 30.000 to 30.000 acres tributary
fast coming under Irrigation, and with a
tendency of the people to settle on small
tracts. Hermiston has the promise of be
coming a city of 5000 to 10,000 people.
The town contains two banks, four gen
eral stores, two grocery stores, two drug
stores, two hardware concerns, two meat
markets, two hotels, restaurants, barber
shop. Ice factory, cement works and sev
eral smaller enterprises.
Buildings Are Substantial.
Among the substantial buildings are a
JtiOOO stone church, an $8000 stone school
building, four two-story brick blocks, two
concrete buildings, and several handsome
structures now under course of erection.
There also are halls for the Masons, Odd
fellows. Modern Woodmen and several
other fraternities. The homes are at
tractive, some costing as much as J5000
exclusive of the land.
The soil of the valley is wonderfully
rich and the climate is Ideal. The alti
tude ranges from 350 to 650 feet, and there
are no severe Winters to encounter.
Many Products Do Well.
Among fruits that may be grown to per
fection are Tokay grapes, Winesap ap
ples, peaches, pears, cherries and all kinds
of berries and vegetables. Strawberries
grow prollfically, and these, as well as
all varieties of small fruits, are on the
market from two to three weeks in ad
vance of those of any other irrigated sec
tion of the Northwest. Almonds, walnuts
and peanuts also do well, and there is
apparently no limit to the growth of
alfalfa.
There are now at this point three great
irrigation projects in operation which will
eventually reclaim from 40.000 to 50,000
acres of some of the triost productive lands
remaining undeveloped in the Northwest,
t an ultimate cost of possibly $2,000,000
or more.
The country is commanding the atten
tion of an intelligent and industrial class
of people, and there appears to be no room
except for persons who find pleasure in
assisting in the upbuilding of a gTeat
country.
Hermiston stands for opportunity, pros
perity and happiness, and at a not far
distant date will rank with the best of the
Western cities born of irrigation.

ONTARIO SEES RAILROAD
"Xine to Kinmett, Idaho, In Fair Pros
pect of Completion.
ONTARIO, Or.. June 13. (Special.) A
railway from Ontario to Emmett. Idaho,
Is one of the immediate prospects for this
vicinity. This road was planned and sur
veyed four years ago, and would have
been built at that time had not financial
stringency overtaken the promoters. Sev
eral miles were graded at that time, and
the maps and estimates for the undertak
ing have remained in the hands of the
promoters until this time, when they have
begun a movement looking toward a re
vival of the undertaking.
Letters to the Ontario Commercial Club
within the past few days have requested
the co-operation of the people here In as
suring success to the road. At the time
of the first project the people were asked
to donate ground for terminal facilities
and to assist in securing rights of way for
the road. The promoters wished at this
time to know if the town would do the
me as before to assist the road, and at
a special meeting of the Commercial Club
it was decided all possible would be done
to assist In building the road. This de
cision having been communicated to the
promoters, it is promised men will be upon
the ground within two weeks, ready to
proceed with actual construction. The
company financing the enterprise is a
Icw York firm, but those who are in
direct connection with the undertaking are
represented by O. C. Wright, a promoter,
of Tortland.
KLICKITAT T0HAVE FAIR
Grounds Bought and Plans for
Buildings Tnder Way.
fiOLPEXDAUl Wash., June 13.-(SDe-cial.V-Klickitat
County Is to have an an
nual fair. Through the efforts of J H
Coffleld and others over $4000 has already
been raised for this purpose. A tract of
40 acres northwest and within a half-
rmte pi Town, nas Deen purchased and
work will commence at once on a half
mile track. It Is expected this will be
ready by July 4. A 14-foot board fence
will surround the ground, grandstands
will be erected, stables provided and a
large pavilion constructed in which the
. usual agricultural and horticultural prod
" ucts will be exhibited. Tt is believed the
first Klickitat County fair can be held
this Fall, probably early in October, last
ing six days.
This county now boasts of some of the
best-bred horses in the Northwest, both
for speed and work, there being a dozen
named whose record is less than 2:30.
The association -will be incorporated and
officers elected this -week.
Gold Found Near Chehalis.
CHEIIAL1S, Wash.. June 13 (Special.)
Placer gold prospects on Coal Creek.
' three miles from the business center of
Chehalis. have been reported this week.
The colors were discovered by Mac La
, fountain, one of the logger crew of the
Coal Creek Lumber Company. Whether
i or not the roM Is there in sufficient quan-
tity to pay to work it remains to be de-
yeloped.

Chain of Sawmills to Rise Logging

Lands to Be Replaced
by Fruitful Farms.
ELMA, June 13. (Special.) About 700
men are at work on the Grays Harbor
extension of the Union Pacific Railway
Company's new line and this force will
be increased greatly immediately. The
preliminary work of clearing the right
of way has been nearly completed and
all along the line can be seen the path
way cleared where the road will run.
No steam shovels have been put to work
as yet. but they are on the ground and
in a few days will begin digging. Con
siderable blasting has been necessary,
especially along the river west of Elma.
Here the banks along the river are high
and rocky and extend for several miles.
Yesterday a big blast was set off, throw
ing a large portion of the bluff into the
river, damming it considerably. Strong
objections have been made to the Gov
ernment by property-owners against the
dumping-of material into the river, and
the railroad company has recently been
endeavoring to compromise by purchasing
strips of land along the riverfront on
the opposite side of the river from where
the railroad will run.
The effect of the new road will be to
open up a large stretch of territory, now
without railroad facilifies on the south
side of the river. Already rumors are
afloat that two big sawmill plants will
be established along the line as soon as
the road gets to working. Numerous log
ging camps will be operated, tapping the
timber belt extending from the Chehalis
River clear through to North River. Lat
eral lines of logging roads will have to
be built to effect this, but the big bodies
of timber in that section will amply jus
tify this step. With two roads down the
Chehalis Valley, business will improve
the country will develop as it never has
before, and it will hurry the transition
now going on from a logging country to
a fruit and farming section. Hills now
covered with a dense growth of standing
timber will give way to field and or
chard, yielding a harvest every year
while the timber furnishes but one yield!
The demand for land was never greater
than at present, the high prices for farm
products making farming more profitable
than ever before in the history of this
country.
PRIVATE SCHEMECOSTLY
PEOPLE SEEM TO PREFER GOV-
ERXMEXT IRRIGATION.
Malheur County Anxiously Awaits
Visit of Secretary Ballinger to
Go Over Project,
ONTARIO, Or., June 13. (Special.) The
absorbing topic of interest in this county
now is the building of the Malheur Gov
ernment irrigation project, which prom
ises to become an assured fact within the
next 30 days. Much uncertainty and
trouble has been caused the settlers by
the efforts of a private irrigation com
pany to prevent the Government coming
into the field, and feeling has run high
throughout the project for the past
month. Th rtennlo t V. ..... .-. i . .

and there is much indignation against
.no private company lor attempting to
oust the reclamation service, but the
private company has large "financial in
terests at stake, and has used every ef
fort. This project was fully surveyed
and estimates were made four years ago.
It would have been built by the Govern
ment at that time, had not similar diffi
culties disaffected the people.
At this time, however, the people are
profiting by their former experience and
standing firmly by their petition to the
Government to resume work on the
project. The Government engineers are
now in the field and are preparing a
report to be submitted to Secretary"" of
the Interior Ballinger, who will visit
Malheur County as soon as Congress, ad
journs, and pronounce upon the final dis
position of the work.
He has announced if the private com
pany can show feasible and practicable
plans for an irrigation system, or that
it has the money on hand to build it
immediately, and has the support of fho
people at fhe time he makes his visit
the Government may withdraw and al
low the private company to build.
It is, however, the opinion of thoie
most fully Informed, that the surveys
being made by the private company, and
Its plans as filed so far are in many

ways far from practicable. They are
physically possible, say engineers who
have examined them carefully, but eco
nomically impracticable. One feature es
pecially which calls for an enormous ex
penditure of money is a tunnel four miles
m length through the solid rock to carry
the water to escape a long detour through
the canyon. This tunnel will cost no:
less than $6,000,000 or $8,000,000, and to be
thoroughly feasible, the entire project, it
is said, should not cost more than this.
This and many other features of the
proposed system prevent the people at
large from wishing to sign contracts with
the private company, and help to keep
them firm .for the Government project in
which they have faith as a "square
deal."
At a meeting held in Ontario recently,
called by representatives of the private
company, the people requested them to
withdraw from the field until the Secre
tary of the Interior has made his visit
and pronounced upon the Government
work. At the same meeting, resolutions
were passed by the people strongly in
dorsing Government irrigation and af
firming the determination of the people
to stay by the Government to the end.
This meeting was attended by landowners
from every portion of the project and
emphatic expression of the attitude of
the people was given here in no unmis
takable form.
TOWN BUILDS IH BRICK
MANY BLOCKS TO GO UP IN
ONTARIO THIS SUMMER.
Three-Story Hotel and Five-Story
Business Block With Others
Are to Be Constructed.
ONTARIO. Or.. June 13.-(Special.)A
number of brick business blocks are
planned for erection in Ontario within the
coming Summer, and will add much to the
appearance of the town. The largest of
these Is to be a fine hotel building of
three stories, to be erected by David Wil
son, of Spokane, the owner of the On
tario townsite. and one of the largest
benefactors of the town. Mr. Wilson was
here recently and made final arrangements
for its erection. Plans are now being
drawn by Spokane architects and will be
on exhibition in Ontario shortly
The building will occupy six lots on the
east side of Main street in the principal
business block of the town. It will have
its main entrance on the corner of the
block and another front in the railway
station a block away. There will be 120
rooms, handsome lobby, wide porches and
it will be in every way the finest hotel in
this part of the Northwest. The building
will be 100 feet in depth and 150 in width
and all the furnishings and decorations
will be in keeping with its size and ex
cellence. Another lot in this block will be occu
pied by a brick office building to be
erected by J. R. Blackaby. president of
the Ontario National Bank. Another cor
ner near this will be occupied by a five
story building to be erected by Boyer
Bros., one of the large merchandising
firms of Ontario, and; a portion will be
occupied by their wholesale department
Two other buildings will be built by May
or Pogue and the Malheur Mercantile
Company. They will be on adjoining lots
and will have a common 6tairway. All
these buildings will be in course of erec
tion within 60 to 90 days, so it is stated
and many" of them are already contracted
for as storerooms as soon as completed.
FAST GROWTH AT BAKER

BAKER CITY OrTjune 13,-Opecial.)-After
reading of an Albany man s state
ment regarding the rapidity with which
vegetables grow in the Willamette Val
ley, Joseph Barton, of South Baker took
a look at his own garden and discovered
that he planted radishes on Monday after
noon and the following Friday evening
they were up; that he had planted grass
in his lawn on Tuesday and the following
Sunday it was plainly visible. But the
record of all records was made when he
planted potatoes at 6:30 on Saturday eve
ning, and in Just 8H days the plants were
up so that the rows could be easily
traced. And Baker City is 3400 feet above

Few who were interested anticipated
when W. C. Calder and his associates

that in less than three months gold nug

that a prospecting drill would record a

BRIGHT'S DISEASE
Late estimates on the percentage of re
coveries under the new emollient treatment
for chronic Brighfs Disease, heretofore re
corded as Incurable, give the following ap
proximate figures: In extreme cases in
which the heart has become much weakened
and where crises may be expected In from
five to ten days there are probably not more
than 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the cases
that respond with sufficient promptness to
prevent the fatal issue. (Where physicians
aid by making determined efforts to restrain
fatal symptoms this efficiency is Increased.)
In cases where patients haye from thirty
to sixty days of life remaining the efficiency
Is naturally still higher.
Where patients do not wait until they are
bedridden, but are up and about and have
a reasonable certainty of several months,
probably three-fourths yield, and in cases in
which the patients treat the disease serious
ly on Its appearance nearly nine out of ten

The albumen, casts and dropsy of months
or years standing that are supposed to make
up an Incurable and fatal case do not of
themselves prevent recovery, the determin
ing feature now being the recuperative
power of the heart and various functions.
In a word, the Renal inflammation should
be attacked before the heart and physical
system are broken down.

Fulton's Renal Compound, for sale at first

Not only its proven ability to cure, but its absolute safety as a remedy,
has made S. S. S. the most extensively used of all medicines in the treat
ment of Contagious Blood Poison. Unlike the strong mineral mixtures,
which temporarily remove the outward symptoms and shut the disease up
in the system, there to carry on its destructive work on the delicate and
vital organs, S. S. S. strikes directly at the root, and by purifying the blood
of every trace of the virus, completely and permanently cures the trouble.
S. S. S. is Nature's blood purifier, harmless in its action and certain in it3
good results. It is made from a combination of roots and herbs, each of
which has a definite and specific action in purifying the blood. Years were
spent in selecting and proportioning the different ingredients, but when
S. S. S. was perfected it soon demonstrated its superiority over all other
blood medicines, and now, after 40 years, it is still the one and only certain
cure for Contagious Blood Poison. While driving out the poison from the
circulation S. S. S. builds up and strengthens the system by its fine vegetable
tonio effects. If you are suffering with Contagious Blood Poison S. S. S. ia
your most certain reliance, and because of its freedom from mercury,
potash or any other mineral, it is absolutely safe for every one. Home

Skin and bone diseases result from

removing every damaging cause and
