SALEM. Or., July 18. (Special.)
After a trip through the splendid fruit
blt to the south of Salem, General
Manager Guy V. Talbot, of the Oregon
Electric, and other officials of the
road, have enthusiastically undertaken
the task of arranging regular excur
sions from Portland direct to the heart
of one of the richest fruit sections In
Ore icon.
This will be done by having automo
biles meet certain Oregon electric cars
upon their arrival here, when the pas
sengers will be whirled away for a trip
of an hour or two through the country,
returning in time to allow the excur
sionists an opportunity to look over the
city before returning to Portland. It
is proposed to designate two or three
trains weekly as excursion trains, and
all who desire may buy tickets to in
clude the auto trip at Uils end of the
line.
The foundation of the prune busi
ness In the Willamette Valley was laid
20 years ago by the Oregon Land Com
pany, composed of Dr. H. J. Minthom.
now located at Newport: B. S. Cook, in
the real estate business at Portland,
and C. B. Moores, now a resident of
Portland. These far-sighted pioneers
Jn the work of subdivision saw that
the future of the country depended on
the cultivation of fruit and the Increas
ing of population by the cutting up of
some of the larger farms that had been
devoted to the growing of wheat, and
in many rases had been in the hands
of original owners since ths days of
donation land claims.
Growers Learn by Experience,
The company turned its attention to
the fertile hills south of Salem, buying
a farm wherever the chance presented
Itself, subdividing it arid planting it In
most cases to prunes and disposing of it
on easy terms within the reach of the
small farmer. Business went along
swimmingly for some time. Buyers
were not wanting and the company was
making money. But soon the prune
trees began to bear and the troubles
of the company and the men who had
bought the farms began to multiply.
There was no satisfactory market, and
had there been a market the inex
perienced prunegrowers would not have
known how to take full advantage of
It. They packed their fruit in sacks,
and when a buyer was found the fruit
was graded as second-class. Pests
came and. in the absence of specific
Information on how to fight them, they
did great damage.
But finally the business began to
assume a more promising aspect. Ex
perience and study brought knowledge,
and with knowledge came better cul
tivation, better packing, better mar
keting and more profits. Land began
to Increase in value and new people
began to seek out the red hills to the
south where men were making money
In the prune business. As the growers
became more prosperous and their loads
of fruit became heavier and more dif
ficult to handle, the more apparent be
came the need of better roads. The
agitation for improvements commenced
and was kept up for years, finally and
gradually resulting In the building of
the Liberty-Rosedale rock road, which
Is today the equal of any piece of
country road In the West.
Profitable Valley Crop.
The prune crop today is one of the
most profitable and dependable In this
part of the Valley. In only one year,
190S, has there been any over produc
tion. While the annual output has
been Increasing rapidly the demand has
more than kept pace with the output.
The annual production from the pres
ent acreage is now about 40,000.000
pounds. While the crop of 1908 was
only about half that amount, dealers
and leading growers are of the opinion
that this years output will reach the
full average.
Salem Is the most Important center
In the state for the growing and mar
keting of the Oregon prune. Orchards
cover many of the higher spots sur
rounding the city, while the red hills of
the Llberty-Rosedale district south of
the city Is given over almost entirely
to the cultivation of the prune. Excel
lent land In this neighborhood, splen
didly adapted to .this branch of horti
culture, can still be had at from ISO to
I1S0 per acre, bearing orchards $100 to
(300 per acre, while In the famous
Santa Clara Valley of California,
where the Italian or Oregon prune can
not be produced, and where the yield
per acre of Inferior prunes Is not as
large as that of the Italian In Oregon,
the prices demanded and paid for
prune land ranges from $500 to $.1000
per acre. The ordinary orchard In this
vicinity contains from IS Jf 40 acres,
although there are a few tracts In the
vallev much larger.
H. S. Glle. of the Willamette Prune
Association, discussing the marketing
phase of the Industry, said:
Prune of High Food Merit.
"Many time more prunes would be
sold to the best class of trade if their
attention was drawn to the real merits
of Oregon prunes as a food, and to
the perfectly clean character of the
fruit as it reaches them in the ten
pouiid package, coming directly from
the sterilizing plant to the consumer, as
it should. When the dust and dirt of
the retail grocery store and the open
box. bin or bag of prunes can be re
placed ly packages or by a container
of some sort which will reach the con
sumer as originally packed similar to
eJed raisins, then there will come the
d.-- of the prune, for no cured fruit
h greater merit."
While the big orchards south of the
city are being subdivided, making
room for intensive farming and better
farmers, increasing the population,
building new farm buildings and fences.
Si'hooihouses and churches and good
roads, th City of Salem is not de
pendent on any one variety of fruit
cultjre for its maintenance nor on any
one section of farming country. On all
four sides of the city, for miles and
ml!es In every direction, there is to be
found land unexcelled for the culUva-

have been made and results in the way of big profits from fruit rais
ing shown. It has advanced considerably. . .
tlon of cherries, apples, peaches, pears,
plums, hops, walnuts, grains and vege
tables. Market Problem Solved.
The problem of a market, which has
been up for consideration for years. It
Is believed, has been solved by the or
ganization of the Salem Fruit Union,
which has kept a large force of work
ers busy all through the present fruit
season preparing and shipping the
highst grades of fruit, not only to
Coast cities but as far east as Chicago.
The lower grades are sold to the can
neries. The organization has demon
strated Its usefulness, and next year
Its riant will be enlarged by the erec
tion of a cooling station so that fruit
may be kept in the best of condition
while being prepared for shipment.
It Is estimated that fully 1000 acres
of prune land has changed hands In
the past six months. Prices are stead
ily increasing, as growers begin to
appreciate the profits of the business
ana the future of the industry.
RAYMOND PEOPLE BUSY
IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW FAC
TORIES ARE UNDER WAY.
Business Activity, It Is Believed,
Will Reach Record Established
for Town in 1907.
RAYMOND, Wash.. July 18. (Special.)
Local men predict that the present busi
ness activity will equal the record of
1907. During the next few months over
$70,000 will be expended In Raymond on
new streets and bridges. Two large draw
bridges of 125-foot clear openings will
span the Wlllapa and South Fork of the
Wlllapa, replacing the ferries heretofore
in use. '. '
Of the sum necessary for this work, the
Boar of County Commissioners, in ses
sion last week, appropriated $25,000. while
the city has Just voted a bond issue to
cover the balance. The assurance of the
bridges has precipitated a building boom,
and a number of new dwellings and two
large business blocks, one of cement, are
under way. Real estate Is again active
and sales are being made daily. .
Of the local manufacturing plants which
closed for the Fourth of July holidays,
five sawmills, three shingle mills, the
Raymond Box Company's mill and W. W.
Wood Company's veneer plant, have re
sumed. The big veneer plant of the Paclflo
Fruit Package Company is nearing com
pletion and will be in operation within
a few weeks. This, with the new plant
of 'the Clerin-Hamilton Lumber Com
pany, which Is now completed and ready
for operation, will make a substantial
addition to the city's payroll. Work will
also start soon on the Pacific & Eastern
Railroad, which will be extended into a
heavy body of timber on Mill Creek,
where Urge logging camps will be opened.
Several miles of track was laid by the
Pacific & Eastern during the Summer of
1907. but the panic resulted in work be
ing' suspended. Large crews of men will
be started to' work on the road with a
view of reaching well into the timber belt
before the wet weather sets in.
HONEY READY TO GATHER

the honey stored in hie ZK oeenives. r.
Pennington's honey is famed all over the
Northwest, as he ships extensively of that
commodity, and it Is made of the finest
alfalfa syrup, gathered In the Immense
fields surrounding Ontario. Last year Mr.
Pennington shipped more than three car
loads, from this place to Portland, Kansas

MARSHFIELD, Or., July 18. (Special.)
Railroad talk, survey work, and rail
way prospects In Coos County are nu
merous at this time and the people are
hopeful that some of It, at least, will
pan out.
J.. M. Blake Is applying for franchises
In Marshfleld and North Bend for an elec
tric streetcar line. Summers & Haas, who
are interested with the Otxjullls Mill &
Mercantile Company In building an elec
tric line to Roseburg. jave secured rights
of way on a portion of the county roads
and In several cities and report their
work is progressing. Work of making a
preliminary survey, which was started by
the Coos Bay. Oregon & Idaho Railroad
Company, is still in progress. Chief En
gineer Haines has his force of surveyors
in the field and will continue the work
through the Summer. The expense is de
frayed with money subscribed for stock
by local people. The purpose is to find,
if possible, a 1 per cent grade between
Coos Bay and Roseburg. If this is done.
Eastern Railroad men have promised to
investigate, if or any reason they fall
to take up the proposition, the idea of
the promoters is to build a state-aided
railroad in conjunction with other coun
ties of the state between the Coast and
Boise. Idaho.
F. W. Stevens, an engineer of Marsh
fleld, is working on" a survey from this
city to the Umpqua River for a proposed
electric line, the details of which ' have
not yet been given out.
The . fact that the Southern Pacific is
paying for right of way secured three
years ago for a coast line surveyed as a
continuation of the Drain branch, has
given encouragement locally, and has re
vived hope- that the Harriman Interests
may take definite action soon.
Another railroad project was recently
launched by Bandon men. They have
Incorporated for the purpose of building
a steam, electric or gasoline road from
Bandon to Port Orford, in Curry County,
and announce that IB miles of the road,
from Bandon to Langlois. will be built
at once. This road will tap a rich timber
country and will also put Bandon In
closer touch with Curry County, a district
from which the town receives a large
amount of business.
The Smith-Powers Logging Company
has completed a logging railroad into a
big timber country at the head of Isthmus
Inlet, which has never before been
reached, and this road will be extended
into the interior as necessity demands.
WINLOCK COWS PAY WELL

WINLOCK, Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Two years ago the farmers in this vicin

W'inloek Creamery. The company was
organized on the co-operative plan, and
shares placed" at $2 par, each stockholder
being allowed to purchase one share for
each cow he owned. The creamery at that
time was making 600 or 700 pounds of but
ter a week. The company recently raised
the price of shares to $5, is entirely out
of debt, owns a fine creamery building
and a valuable block of land In the cen
tral portion of the city.
The creamery turns out about 1000 pounds
of butter a day. shipping the principal
portion of it to Seattle.

mate of Region Is Mild.
VALE, Or., July 18. (Special.)
Following the lines of travel from the
East, people are whirled through this
section over the Oregon Short Line
Railroad at the rate of 40 miles an
hour. Their tickets read through to
Western Oregon, and. thus In the minds
of most Eastern people the old Idea
still exists that this country Is a land
of sagebrush and Jack rabbits. This
notion Is correct as far -as It goeB, but
it Is only a part of the truth. Prob
ably no other section In the United
States of the same area turns off more
horses, cattle and sheep than Eastern
Oregon.
In this section Is found Malheur
County. It Is situated in the very
southeastern corner of the state, and
is 160 miles long and. on the average,
60 miles wide, containing 8784 square
miles. In other words, it is about one
sixth as large as the State of Kansas.
Heretofore the country has been wa
tered by the Malheur and Owyhee
rivers and their tributaries, which flow
in a northeasterly direction until they
unite their waters with those of the
Snake River, on its eastern border. --
But at present the Government is
looking over the situation with the
view of constructing a large storage
reservoir at the headwaters of the
Malheur 'River. This enterprise will
Involve the expenditure of something
over $2,000,000. and will furnish abun
dant water for the valleys, as well as
for the bench land which heretofore
has never been watered, owing to the
scarcity of water. The surveys for this
Irrigation project will soon be com
pleted, and when the project Is fin
ished, approximately 175,000 acres of
arid land will be irrigated.
Malheur Soil Very . Rich..
The soil In the Malheur Valley is of
a virgin character, for the most part
being composed of disintegrated rock,
decomposed lava mixed with alluvial
matter, and other elements at first hand
from nature
The land Is very productive, being
well adapted to the raising of alfalfa,
wheat, rye, oats, barley, potatoes, beets,
etc. Potatoes especially grow to Im
mense size, and remain perfectly
sound. Several years ago 11 potatoes
were exhibited in Vale that weighed
17 pounds, and were all taken from
the same hill. Onions weighing 1
pounds are not uncommon, and other
things In proportion. Alfalfa yields
from six to 11 tons an acre, eight tons
being considered a fair average.
Alfalfa is, of course, the principal
crop, although timothy and clover
thrive. As a seed-producer, alfalfa is
a valuable crop, and is. a feature of
farming recently Introduced to the
farmers In this section. It yields from
six to ten bushels an acre from the
second crop, the first crop being cut
for hay. The seed Is worth from 12
to 16 cents a pound, $7 to $9 a bushel,
and Is used for various purposes.
Wheat yields from 40 to 60 bushels an
acre, oats from 61 to 100, and barley
from 60 to 90.
Fruits of all kinds grow to advan
tage. Apples, peaches, apricots, pears,
prunes, plums, nectarines, grapes and
all small fruits. Perfect apples are
grown here. At a recent meeting of
the Irrigation Congress, held In Sacra
mento. Cal., Malheur County captured
the $500 Governor Pardee prize for the
best collection of fruits grown by Irri
gation. Apples grow to be 15 inches
in circumference, peaches 12 Inches,
and Bartlett pears to weigh 20 ounces.
The principal calling, aside from
farming and frultralsing. Is stockrais
lng. The extensive expanse of foothill
country, covered with nutritious
grasses, adapt the country to this sort
of business. Horses and cattle graze
on this grass from the month of March
to the month of December, and not in
frequently all Winter. However, It has
been found more profitable to feed dur
ing the coldest weather. This is espe
cially the case with sheep.
1500 Cars of Stock Yearly. "
The methods of stockraislng are sim
ple. The farmer brands his young
stock in the Spring, turns them out on
the range, and "rounds them up" in
the Fall for Winter feeding. Some
idea can be formed of the extensive
stockraislng in this county when it is
realized that' from one point over 1500
cars of livestock are shipped annually.
Bee culture is also one of the thriv
ing Industries of this section. Malheur
County honey has secured several
prizes at the different state fairs. The
honey is characterized by its pure

The mild climate and the excellence
of the alfalfa makes it an ideal coun
try for the aptculturist. Practically
every farmer has his bee colonies, and
each colony will average from 60 to 120
pounds of honey annually. .
A number of 'exhaustive experiments
have been made which fully demon
strate the country's fitness for sugar
beet culture. The chemical tests of
beets grown In Malheur County soil
show that they contain all the elements,
saccharine and otherwise, required.
Malheur now has the distinction of
being the greatest producer of the
sugar beet of any county in Oregon or
Idaho.
Oil and Gas Are Found. . .
Indications of oil and natural gas In
large quantities In "and about Vale,
when the proper depth has been
reached, are now very good. Many
drills are at work In the fields, and It
Is thought that the known oil belt has
been correctly determined. There Is
now a small flow of oil at two of the
wells, but they have not yet gone deep
enough to get It in commercial quanti
ties. It Is said by experts that this re
gion has been the bed of a large lake,
and this is verified by the fact that
petrified fish bones of all sorts may be
scooped up by the handful in the can
yons. The northwestern portion of the
county Is richly -mineralized. The
placer mines at Malheur City, Amelia
and Mormon Basin are among the fore
most in the state. These, however, are
giving way to the quartz lodes, with
which the section In question is seamed.
The vegetation of the country con
sists in sagebrush (Arthemeson). This
Is a desert shrub of no mean value. A
peculiar thing about it is, it will die if
watered. ' It furnishes the new settler
with stovewood, and the traveler with
fuel for his campflre. Farther back in
what Is known as the foothill country.
Juniper and mountain mahogany ap
pear. The former makes good fence
posts, the latter a very valuable fuel
supply. In the western portion of the
county are dense forests of pine, fir,
tamarack and other woods which fur
nish good building material.
Climate Is Mild.
The climate of this section Is a seem
ing contradiction of the prevailing no
tion of the climatic conditions in ths
lattude. But when It is understood
that this country is under the influence
of the Pacific Ocean to a great extent,
which tempers this interior mountain
climate to a marked degree, making the
Summers cooler and the Winters warm
er, it will be clearly understood. In
brief, the Summers are long and dry,
yet the heat Is not oppressive. The
rainfall will probably not exceed ten
inches annually. This falls mostly be
tween the months of December and
May. The rainfall is not sufficient to
raise crops without the aid of irriga
tion. Crops of cereals are sometimes
raised on unlrrigated lands, but the
successful farmer depends on Irriga
tion. The principal towns of the county are
Ontario. NVssa, Acadia. Jordan Valley,
Westfall. Malheur City and Vale. Four
of these towns are on the railroad. The
first three named are on the main line
of the Oregon Short Line, and Vale is
situated on a branch 16 miles from the
main .line. Vale is the county seat. .
The population of this county Is
strictly American, only about 1 per
cent of which is foreign.
FINE WHEAT ON DRY LANDS
Ontario Farmers Get Excellent Re
sults From Experiments.
ONTARIO, Or., July 18. (Special.)
Wheat on the dry farms near Ontario is
in excellent condition this year and is
expected to make a record crop. While
Malheur County farmers do not give
much attention to wheatgrowing as a gen
eral crop, nearly every farmer has a
small field, and the past few years dry
farming has come more and more into
favor on the benches, where wheat is one
of the good crops.
This year the wheat Is full, healthy and
clean. Most of it will average, it Is esti
mated, from 35 to 40 bushels to the acre,
and the grain stands four to five feet
high. On fields which have been culti
vated for the first time this year it Is
not quite so thick as on older fields, but
the entire average is very good. There
will be more wheat harvested near On
tario this year than ever before.

GRBSHAM, Or., July IS. (Special.)
Considerable- new and important county
road work Is now going on in the sev
eral road districts of Eastern Multnomah.
Ths new rotary rockcrusher at the 11
mile post on the Base Line road Is run
ning at full capacty every day, turning
out about 100 tons of crushed rock dally.
A string of teams is kept busy hauling
the output into Gresham where the prin
cipal streets are receiving an Improve
ment that will be permanent.
The streets of the city to be Improved
are all county roads and are under the
care of Supervisor George W. Kenney,
who is directing the new improvements.
As fast as the crushed rock is laid it
is firmly rolled with a new steam- roller
recently purchased by the county, after
which a top dressing of sand is put on
and rolled aeain.
In Supervisor Hillyard's district, east
of Gresham, about two miles of old plank
roadway Is being given a gravel surface,
the plank being used to repair other sec
tions which cannot be graveled this year.
In the other districts the same spirit
of enterprise is manifest. It is asserted
that the county will expend about tlOO.OOO
on the roads of Eastern Multnomah this
year and that the work will continue all
Summer! and late. lr.to the Fall.
It is expected that the final opening of
the new Barr road, which will be an
extension of Bast Gllsan street from
Portland, to Fair-view, will be consum
mated this season. When finished It will
probably be the best thoroughfare lead
ing out of the city, as it will be hard sur
faced to the city limits, and of crushed
rock the remainder of the distance. It
will open up a wonderful section now
