R. A. Ballinger. Secretary of the In
terior, today will hold a conference in
thla city with the officers of the reclama
tion service when the apportionment of a
fund of t7.OCO.000 for the further develop
ment of this work during 1910 will be
determined. Today's conference Is of
large importance to the Western and Pa
cific Coast states and will be attended
by the six supervising- engineers repre
senting: the entire reclamation field which
includes 16 states and territories. F. H.
Newell, director; A. P. Davis, chief en
gineer, and D. C. Henny, consulting en
gineer, all of the reclamation service, will
also attend the meeting.
Secretary Ballinger will arrive from
Seattle this morning and will divide his
time between the representatives of the
reclamation service in the Beck building
and at the Portland where be has made
reservations and will" receive visitors
having business which relates to the In
terior Department. Mr. Ballinger expects
to remain In Portland the greater part of
the week. The Secretary and the con
ferees will be entertained at luncheon at
noon today at the Portland Commercial
Club. Invitations for such a luncheon
were Issued through a misunderstanding
of Mr. Balllngei-s Itinerary for las Mon
day but the affair was postponed for a
week.
Engineers Who Are Here.
The. six supervising engineers, all of
. whom are in the city, together with the
divisions th--y represent, who will confer
with Mr. Ballinger are: B. G. Hopson,
of the Pacific division, embracing North
ern California. Oregon, and Nevada; C.
H. Swigart. "Washington division, con
sisting of the State of, Washington; F. E.
Weymouth. Idaho division, consisting of
tiie State of Idaho; H. N. Snvage. North
ern division, consisting of Montana,
North Dakota and Northern Wyoming;
L. C. Hill. Southern division, consisting
of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas. Utah
and Southern California, and I. W. Mc
Connell, Central division, consisting of
Colorado and Nebraska and a portion
of Wyoming.
Mr. Ballinger Is confronted with a dim
cult problem In making the apportion
ment of the X7.000.000 fund. There are
Included in the reclamation field 24 pro
fit hirh hAve hp?n started by the
Governm-nt. Each of the six supervising
engineer", representing s iiia-ny uniaiuua
Into which the reclamation field has been
divided, is supplied jvlth considerable
data on which to basa his application for
innuail allnwnnro that oesired ex
tensions In the service may be made in
his district.
The aggregate of these requisitions ex
ceeds the amount of money available so
that it remains for Mr. Ballinger to. de
termine the most pressing needs of the
service, and distribute the fund accord
ingly. The engineers have prepared
statistics showing the Importance of the
various projects In their districts and
will rely on their representations to
secure increased appropriations with
which to prosecute their work during the
ensuing year.
Projects Have Been Inspected.
Both Mr. Ballinger and Mr. Newell
during the last four months have visited
practically all of the 24 projects and have
made a careful Investigation of each, in
cluding an inquiry Into the demands for
extensions and improvements necessary
for the reclamation of additional and ad
joinng tracts. Becausf of the magnitude
of the demands made on the reclamation
fund. It is not likely that Mr. Ballinger
at thin time will be able to recommend
the Installation of additional projects. It
will be his purpose to distribute the fund
where it will do the greatest possible
good. At the same time, he has taken
particular pains to ascertain the actual
condition of the settler and assures the
homeseekers that in his administration
of this Important department they may
be assured of a minimum of the abuses
from which, in some sections, they have
been suffering.
Principal among the complaints of the
settlers In some localities, is the Inade
quacy of the service for the proper irri
gating of their lands. Others have com
plained that the charge for water to
them has been advanced after they set
tled on a homestead, adding to the orig
' Inal cost of acquiring a home. Where
such conditions exist, Mr. Ballinger has
given his promise that he will direct his
earnest efforts to eee that they are
abated.
CORNET PLAYER SOUGHT
Mme. NorelH is said worthily to up
hold all the traditions of the bel canto
style of singing as contrasted with the
modern dramatic method adopted by
Wagner, Mascagni. Puccini and Leon
cavallo. In addition to the gererous
praise accorded her singing of such
difficult roles as "Lucia," "Rigoletto,"
'Travlata." "Barber of Seville." Don
Pasquale." and "Don Glovavnnl," critics
and operagoers have been charmed by
Mme. Norelll's histrionic powers. Her
gracious manner, too. Instantly won
for her the regard of all San Fran
cisco operagoers.
After giving a season In Los Angeles
and Oakland, the company will come
north on its way to New York. Whether
or not it will appear In Portland has
not yet been determined.

The police have been requested
through the local branch of the Mu
sicians' Union to aslst It In locating

land. Advices state that Olson left his
home In Iowa several years ago and
that his mother Is now dying there. He
is said to hare located In Portland but
owing to the laxity of his correspond
ence all trace of him was lost two years
ago.
A letter to the Musicians' Union hers
written by a brother of the delinquent
Olson from his former home In Iowa,
is couched In pathetic language and
pleads for assistance in locating the
wayward young man that he might re
turn home before his mother's death.
Olson Is described as being 6 feet

eyes and weighing 160 pounds. Urged
by the appeal of the brother, the police

10 HELP PORTOLA
President of Rose Festival
Tells of Great Show in
San Francisco.
RETURNS FROM LONG TRIP
Many Cities Throughout the Coun
try Are Asking for Information
About Big Celebration Held
Here This Summer.
Ralph W. Hoyt, president of the Port
land Rose Festival and cashier of the
Merchants National Bank, returned Sat
urday from a three weeks' trip to Cal
ifornia. He hopes that Portland will
come enthusiastically to the front and
boost for the big Portola Carnival in
October, down in San Francisco, for the
reason that the Bay City contributed
such a large representative attendance
at the Rose Festival here in June.
Mr. Hoyt and his party, consisting
of Walter M. Cook, of Ladd & Tilton's
Bank; Walter B. Moore and Robert H.
Moore, sons of ex-Governor Moore, of
Walla Walla, and A. H. Campbell, son
of Ben Campbell, the former general
manager of the O. R. & N., toured ny
motor car from Portland, Beginning;
July 12, to Grants Pass and thence to
Crescent City by the Coast route and
later to Eureka, from which point they
Journeyed by automobile and rail to
the Bay City. They established camps
at several places, hunting and fishing
as a means of supplying their com
missary.
Will Be Big Show.
"San Francisco Is going to have the
greatest celebration that has ever been
undertaken in the West, said Mr.
Hoyt last night. "The Portola com
mittee at first thought of raising only
$50,000, but when it was seen that the
demonstration was to reach far great
er proportions than had been dreamed
of, the enterprising San Franciscans de
cided to build on a much more compre
hensive scale. They will send out
something like 35,000 letters to citizens
of San Francisco and through Cali
fornia, asking personal contributions to
the fund, wliich has now been set at
the $200,000 mark, and before I left
the pledges were coming in at a rate
that would make any city in America
envious, .
, "They wanted to know all about what
we did on behalf of the Rose Festival
here, but the celebrations of the two
cities being so widely at variance as
to character, I could give them no
idea of value save that Portland people
stood by us to a man. The Portola
Festival is to be probably the most
stupendous enterprise ever held on the
Western fringe of this continent. I
could not begm to tell of all the fea
tures that are to be held during the
week of October 19-23, but the com
mittee expects to have assembled In
the San Francisco harbor the greatest
naval pageant that has ever been gath
ered In the world s history.
Portland Should Help.
"Leaving their plans aside, I think
Portland, through the local commercial
organizations and other sources, should
plan to Invade the Bay City on a larg
er plan than has been done at any time
In the past, said Mr. Hoyt.
"Portland sent the greatest crowd of
visitors to Seattle that any city has
sent there and I believe Portland will
do the same for the Portola Carnival.
The Bay City sent thousands here for
the Rose Festival and I think we
should show our appreciation by go
lng- there en masse."
FIVE DELEGATES NAMED

bon Society at Spokane.

in forest areas.
At the conclusion of the Spokane meet
ing Mr. Finley will go to Seattle, where
he will deliver two lectures at the meet
ing of the First National. Conservation
Congress, which will meet August 26-28.
These lectures will deal with the preser
vation of wild birds and animals.

tles to thirsty citizens. The patrolman
says he purchased three bottles from
Monte.

arrest was trie fifth In three weeks.
Enormous decrease in apple production, isn't it?
In spite of the fact that population is increasing:
daily!
In spite of an increasing demand for apples I
Read the figures published in the Department of Ag-
IT-CXllturG!
Apple crop in 1896, 69,070,000 barrels
Apple crop in 1899, 37,560,000 barrels
Apple crop in 1907, 29,000,000 barrels
Apple crop in 1908, 23,000,000 barrels
Showing a decrease, in thirteen years, of 46,070,000
barrels!
And, remember this,
During the thirteen years, the population of the na
tion has increased in excess of 12,000,000,
And, during this time, education and science has
stimulated a tremendous demand for fruit, and
especially apples, as a food product.
And, during the same time, prosperity has increased
the individual capacity to purchase.
What's the explanation?
Simple.
For every tree planted in Oregon and Washington,
10 are abandoned, uprooted or played out in the
East. .
And why? -
Simply because the apples of the East have been
raised by farmers as a side issue.
Apples of the Northwest are raised by specialists
who give their whole time to horticulture.
They are in the business for the profit it begets.
This, then accounts for the fact that in the East, the
pests have conquered the orchard, while in the
Northwest, the orchardist has conquered the pest.
Now, during the interim, with the slump in the East
and the growing crops in the Northwest, the mar
ket is inadequately supplied, although apple
growers are straining every nerve to make the
supply meet the demand.
Moral : Now, if ever, is the best time to reap profits
from apple growing.
Not longer than three years ago, a prominent Hood
River banker made a tour of the apple states and
markets of the East.
The sentiment, everywhere he visited, was, "The in
dustry is going to pieces."
The president of the Oregon State Board of Horticul
ture, just returned from a similar tour, brings
- the same message.
These thoughts are of tremendous significance to the
SCIENTIFIC ORCHARDIST.
M. O. Lownsdale, for 18 years, has been developing
the finest orchard in the Northwest.
The profits from this orchard have been as much as
$600 per acre.
Mr. Lownsdale wishes to retire. In fact, has done so.
The magnificent orchard of 300 acres and 349 acres
of available land, he has decided to keep intact.
His plan is simple.
Rather than subdivide into smaller orchards, he re
mains president of the LOWNSDALE ORCH
ARD COMPANY, dividing the ownership of the
. famous ranch into a certain number of individual
ownerships.
These individual ownerships, each as definite as
though the owner possessed a half, a third or the
whole tract, are for sale at $100 and in multiples
of $100 each.
During the ensuing five years, the orchard will be
maintained under the supervision of the man who
brought it to its present profitable stage.
At the same time, the 349 acres not yet planted to
fruit, will be set out, adding to the value of the
investment made now.
All of the equipment of the celebrated Lownsdale
Orchard will be at the disposal of the company.
The new company will be authorized to use the
Lownsdale labels, packages and will ship to the
same inexhaustible market that Lownsdale 's ap
ples have developed.
Last year, alone, these orchards might have shipped
400 cars more of apples than they did, were the
apples to be had.
That indicates the demand for these famous apples.
It is readily apparent, therefore, to the average man
who longs for an investment in a first-class fruit
tract, that $5000, or $3000, or even $1000 is far
safer in an 18-year-old orchard with a splendid
reputation than it would be invested in raw land
with all the hazard that its development involves.
The profits from the Lownsdale Orchards are enor
mous. They are surprising.
The opportunity is asked to allow us to send you a
set of literature, showing what this orchard has
done, what it is doing, how much money it has
been making, year by year, and what the pros
pects are for the cautious investor.
With a constantly increasing demand for apples;
With the Eastern supply rapidly becoming demoral
ized; With prices going up and Oregon apples assuming
the Jead over the world;
Can a sane man consistently deny the profit-making
investment .this opportunity offers?
Certainly not. -
Request us to send the literature to you this very
day. ,

Reply to A. D. Charlton as to City s
Ability to Take Care of Tour
ist Traffic.
Local hotelmen take issue with A. D.
Charlton, assistant genera. paaseiiBci
,ni fnr the Northern Pacific, w.ho. In
an interview Saturday asserted that the
combined accommodations 01 me .rori
land hotels were inadequate to handle the
heavy tourist travel this Summer. They
insist that the hotel accommodations in
v,(o ritv have been more than doubled
since the Lewis and Clark Exposition. It
is further contended by the hotel men
that while there are 2000 first-class rooms
available. In the different hotels of the
city, the average number of daily visit
ors, computed from the registrations. Is
about SCO.
The statement that Portland does not
have ample hotel accommodations is not
true," said M. C. Dickinson, of the Ore
gon,' last night, "and the circulation of
such reports is damaging not only to
our business but to Portland Itself as an
attractive place for the tourist. It Is
only natural that the traveler, upon read
ing that he could not find accommoda
tions In a first -class hotel at Portland,
would not visit this city.
"Now the facts are that In the last
five years the number of first-class rooms
in the hotels of Portland have been in
creased from about 300 to over 2000. Even
with the heavy tourist travel, which, is
even greater than it was during the
Lewis and Clark Fair, there Is scarcely
any night that there are not vacant
rooms in several of the leading hotels of
the city.
"Further hotel accommodations soon
will be available. The annex to the Im
perial, which will be opened In October,
will have 168 rooms, the Perkins is plan
ning an annex which will provide 90 more
rooms while we are prepared to Increase
the accommodations of the Oregon from
340 rooms, its present capacity, to 300 or
400 rooms whenever the increased busi
ness justifies. Any charge that Port
land Is not abundantly supplied with
first-class hotel accommodations or that
the tourists visiting this city are not
being taken care of Is entirely un
founded." "The statement that this city is with
out finst-class hotel accommodations is
wrong," said Warren Swetland, of the
Perkins. "As a matter of fact, the de
mand for first-class rooms la not heavy.
With the exception of a few nights, there
always are to be had plenty of the high
est priced rooms at any of the first-class
hotels in the city. Tourists this year
very generally are taking the cheaper
rooms and they are all being cared for
too." '
SCHOOLS WILL BE TOPIC
Grange to Outline Plans for Their
Improvement.
For the month of September, State Lec
turer Johnson, of the Patrons of Hus
bandry, has outlined an educational pro
gramme for the betterment of the pub
lic schools. It is called an educational
campaign for every Grange In the state.
It is proposed that each Grange In the
state give one day In September to a
study of the question, "How Can the
Schools Be Improved?"
Such subjects as "Good Air.'? "Pure
Water," "Decent Outbuildings," and
other similar questions will be considered
at these meetings. In his address to the
Granges State Lecturer Johnson says:
"At the August meeting have one or
more committees appointed to make per
sonal Inspection of the various schools
in your Jurisdiction and urge them to
report conditions exactly as they find
them. These reports should come In at
the September meeting. The County
School Superintendent, or some one for
him, should lead with a vigorous talk
upon the importance of all these con
ditions. Then have the reports of the
various committees and a general dis
cussion from teachers and parents, thus
bringing out every point involved."
WORK ON LINE RESUMED
Construction of Track to Swift Plant
Will Be Rushed.
A large force of men has been put to
work on the extension of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company tracks
on Albina avenue from North Albina to
the Swift Packing plant on the Peninsula.
.Work was suspended on this extension
after a quarter of a mile of the grading
had been done, when the extension was
held up by the referendum. This is now
out of the way and the work will go
rapidly forward. Grading is in progress
and during the coming week a larger
force will be put to work. At Kenton
the line will connect with the Kenton
Traction Company's track, which is of
similar grade and width. Between Ken
ton and the packing plant the track is
completed, and it is intended to have cars
In operation to the Swift plant within
ten days.
Work also has 'been started on the ex
tension of the Broadway line from Bast
Nineteenth to East Twenty-fourth street.
Broadway is being paved between Union
avenue and East Twenty-fourth street
and the tracks must be put down at once.
Later the line on East Twenty-fourth
street will be extended to Fremont and
then back on Bast Twenty-second,
making a complete loop. At present the
company will push the construction of
the Peninsula extension owing to the de
mand for transportation to the Swift
plant and the big lumber company's
plant. ;
