nainfall in Willamette Valley Les
During Summer Months Than
in Rocky Mountains Region,
Government Reports Show.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 51. (Special. A
campaign of education, to cost from
to JSuOO. to be participated in by paid
lecturers and every newspaper in the
"Willamette Valley, is being planned by
the OreRon Conservation Commission and
State Engineer Lewis, with the avowed
purpose of making the valley the most
thoroughly irrigated section of the est
A drawing prepared by Mr. Lewis
hows the oomparatfver rainfall in various
parts of the United States during the
months of J'ine, July and August. The
Willamette Valley, including Portland
which has more than the rest of the
valley, has an average of about 24
Inches: Denver, Colo., has 44.; Cheyenne,
Wyo., h;is a little more than 5; Santa Fte,
X. M.. all thee points, not including
the Willamette Valley, are in the so-
railed arid region, but all have from
two to three times the moisture in the
growing season that the "Willamette Val
lev has. In the humid region, Chicago
has 10 inches. New York 12; New Orleans
1 and Charleston. S. C, slightly less
than 2. All these resnilts are obtained
from Government reports.
Where Irrigation Is Necessary.
It is argued that Government expert
ments during the past two or three sea
sons show that for certain crops irriga
tion in tlfp Willamette Valley is neces
sary. Admitting the necessity of irriga
tion, a number of reasons are given by
Mi. Lewis why a campaign of educa
tion first necessary:
First Land values are so high that
capital cannot be found to purchase and
resell the. same when irrigated, because
the public is not awake to the-value of
Irrigated land.
Pecond A canal cannot be dug upon
anticipated profits from the sale of water
to adjoining lands, because capital will
not invest without some definite security.
Third Irrigation and drainage districts
cannot be formed until over 50 per cent
of the land owners are awake to the
value of Irrigation. Capital advanced for
such enterprises becomes a lien upon the
land within the district and can readily
. be secured.
Forth No bond hour or large construc
tion company will, in the face of present
sentiment, attempt to organize a pro
ject, getting the farmer to place a
lien on their land for the cost of recla
mation and drainage. In addition, capital
will not invest in expensive topographic
surveys and Investigations In search of
irrigation projects when they are be
sieged by promoters having all necessary
data as a basis for investment.
Fifth The present tendency is for each
farmer to enlarge his holdings, .thus re
ducing population. If irrigation is neces
sary, as we assume, then the sooner the
farmer Is convinced of Its value, the bit
ter. The tendency will then he to sub
divide and sell, thus increasing the popu
lation of the valley.
Survey Not 'Planned.
The plan of campaign embraces the
making of a topographic survey map of
the Willamette Valley showing all reser
voir site diversion points, irrigable
areas, etc. : the employment of a repu
table engineer to point out the various
Irrigation and drainage projects, showing
location of canals, and giving preliminary
estimate of cost; the employment of a
grx'd writer on irr;gation for three or
four mom lis. to go over the valley col
lecting data nnd describing the advan
tages and dteadvantapr a of the scheme.
The state engineer believes that by
this time there will have been aroused
enough enthusiasm so that no difficulty
will be encountered in Inducing the next
session of the legislature to make an
appropriation large enough to make a
reliable xopographic map of the floor of
the valley, as a basis for interesting !
capital. Mr. Lewis states that the United
Status geological survey doubtless will ;
contribute dollar for dollar with the
state for such work.
Views to He Shown.
Following the 4 n of the Legisla
ture It is rropo5-d to employ some such j
man as B. A. Fowler, president of the
national irrigation Longrees. to give
etereoptlcon lecturts throughout the
valley.
The state engineer believes that the
carrying out of this campaign of educa
tion will result in so much enthusiasm
that the project will not be allowed to
die until the Willamette Valley becomes
the highest developed portion of this
state through Irrigation - and drainage.
Until some such plan is put into execu
tion it is claimed the valley will remain
unlrrigated. and in the main, the farms
will bs too large to allow of rapid in
crease in the population.
Successfully to carry out the campaign
of. education outlined, Mr. Lewis esti
mates that from $5000 to $W0 should be
raised by voluntary subscription.
The ca- of a farmer living on Derry
Creek in Polk County, Is cited by the ad
vocates of irrigation in the valley, as
an Instance of the value of water In the
growing season. J. Harmon Hunteman,
the farmer in question, last Spring ap
propriated water from Ierry Creek and
this year has harvested three crops of
cloTer and has had the benefit of excel
lent Fall pasturage besMes. Three of his
neighbors, impressed Py the success of
the experiment, have applied to the
water board for permission to appro
priate water from the same stream.

Mosier, .situated "on the main line of the
O. R. & N. on the Columbia River, 72
miles from Portland, has the advantages
of both rail and water transportation.
Mosier is six miles east of Hood River
and is in the same fruit belt. The apples
grown in this district are the best in the
world and sell for the highest prices.
Mosier Valley contains about 30,000
acres of good fruit land and about 400
acres are now in trees. Land values are
low as .compared with Hood River and
other good fruit districts. Prices range
from $35 to SCO an acre.
Mosier apples have already become
famous and rate with the Hood River
fruit, the crops of both places being
purchased by the New York firm of
Stlnehart & Kelly at the same price.
The town and surrounding country are
building up very rapidly, several resi
denees and business buildings now being
In course of erection.
Mosier has a fine graded schol and
three churches. The town is supplied
with good water piped from springs.
The climate of this district is mild and
equable, being, a pleasing medium be
tween the excessive rains or the coast
and the extreme dry and heat of the
Eastern part of the state.

Grove. One hundred residences have been
built and Ave largo substantial brick
buildings erected. This growth is not
due however, to any boom, but is the
result of a natural growth. The adver
tising scheme for boosting Cottage Grove
and Nesmlth County, that the people
have launched so extensively, will not
show results to any great extent until
the early part of 1910.

RAYMOND KEEPS GROWING
WHlapa Harbor Town Is Making
Rapid Strides.
RAYMOND, Wash., Oct. 31. (Special.)
Building operations in this city,
which, have been very active during
the past Summer and early Fall, still
continue. The business of the city
has now completely outgrown First
street, which has, hitherto, been its
exclusive location, and is branching
off into Duryea street., On this street,'
between First and Second, there are
under construction two large and sub
stantial buildings. One is being
erected by August Rugger, and will be
occupied by a stock og general mer
chandise. The building is of concrete,
two stories, and is nearly ready for
occupation. Contractor C. E. Philbrick
has a large building we'l under way
directly opposite the Rugger building,
which is 60x110 feet on the ground and
two stories high. The lower floor will
be occupied by the city offices and a
large storeroom. The second story will
be finished In office suites, nearly all
of which are already rented.
Beside the business houses under
way there are a number of fine resi
dences well along toward completion.
Among those who are building fine
homes are H. W. McPhaf 1, cashier of
the Willapa Harbor State Bank: Charles
Stevens and Floyd Lewis. These resi
dences have sightly locations arid will
greatly improve the residence section
of the city. '

Water for Domestic Use and Irri
gation of Small Fruits Avail
able in Streams and
Springs.
GOLDENDALB, Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) Klickitat County has an area of
land in the foothills of the Simcoe Moun
tains which covers the lower portion of
four townships, extending from the
breaks of the Big Klickitat River on the
west to the head of Rock Creek on the
east. 1 To all outward appearances this
land to specially adapted for apple-growing.
Most of the land is at present cov
ered by a growth of email pine timber,
mostly valuable for wood, but containing
a small percentage of paw tlmDer.
Plenty of water for domestic purposes
and irrigation for small fruits can be ob
tained frefm the mountain streams and
springs in the Simcoes. About one-third
of the land in the proposed fruit belt is
now occupied by scattering homestead
ers, who, with a few exceptions, have
paid little attention to fruit-raising, mak
ing their living by cutting wood, operat
ing small portable sawmills and working
in the harvest fields of the Klickitat Val
ley. Colonel Wise's Winning Fight.
In the Spring of 1902 Colonel E- B. Wise,
a retired Union Army officer, and a vet
eran of the Civil, War, who was one of
the earliest settlers in the Klickitat Val
ley and has been one of its foremost citi
zens ever since, decided to retire from
active life. He also determined at that
time to take up a claim in the pine belt
of the Simcoes and demonstrate the fact
that apples could be raised successfully
there from a commercial standpoint. He
purchased a relinquishment on" ' a tract
of land about, eight miles hoJrtheast of
Goldendale from a dissatisfied home
steader and ised his homestead right on
the claim. He first built a comfortable
cabin on the place and christened it San
Refugio. He then undertook the task
cf clearing the stumps from the few
acres that had been cut over by the for
mer resident. His three score years ana
ten. his battle scars and lack of funds
to hire labor with were a serious handi
cap to him, as work of this kind requires"
brawn and muscle. The Colonel was un
daunted and planted his first apple trees
among the pine stumps. He kept at work
steadily till he now has ten acres cleared,
with 600 thrifty bearing apple trees and
300 young trees, which are bringing him
in an income that would make many a
wheat rancher in the Valley sit up and
take notice.
The trees in the orcnara nuraoer many
leiidine varieties of apples now grown
and put om the market and the quality
and color of the fruit raised has been
pronounced by apple experts to be equal
to anything raised in the Northwest. Al
though the Colonel has a fine stream of
spring water crossing his land, he has
not used it for irrigation at all in grow
ing his . orchard, but has depended on
cultivation of the soil.
Duluth Man Takes Hold.
In June of this year W. D. Gordon, of
Duluth, Minn.. . representing capital that
was seeking investment in the Pacific
Northwert, came to Goldendale.' attracted
by the literature sent out by the Klicki
tat Development League regarding unde
veloped resources of the county. He
wao taken out to view the Wise orchard.
He immediately commenced buying cut
over claims in the area described in the
beginning of this article, but said very
little about his intentions. About a
month ago he advertised in local papers
for men to clear land. Being unable to
obtain labor enough locally to accomplish
much, he went to Portland last week and
hired a crew of 40 Austrian laborers, and
their advent on the streets of Goldendale
last Wednesday marks a new era in the
industrial growth of Klickitat County.
It has now developed that Mr. Gordon
and his associates have formed a com
pany which will be known as the Min
nesota Fruit Land Company, and have
purchased 1200 acres of land in the pine
belt. It is their Intention to clear all
this land and ret It out into apple trees.
The soil in the Simcoe Mountains is
compose-' of volcanic ash, disintegrated
basalt and alluvium, but, there being
very little of the latter.

TRIP IS FASTEST YET
IKEXE MAKES GUAYMAS AND
BACK IN 27 DAYS.
Craft Takes 26 Days to Make Pass
age to Mexican Port From West
port and Return.
The schooner Irene arrived at Astoria
yesterday noon from Guaymas, complet
ing what is believed to be the fastest
round trip ever made by a sailing yessel
between a North Pacific port and Guay
mas. The Irene, which has a number of
fast passages to her record, sailed from
Westport, Wash., for the Mexican port
September 4. with a cargo of lumber
and reached her destination October 1.
Receiving unusually good dispatch with
her cargo, she sailed north October 5 and
accordingly made exactly the same time
on the north-bound trip that she made go
ing south 26 days each way.
' While the time for the trip one way
has frequently been beaten, the 57 days
for the round voyage, including the time
of discharging, is believed to have es
tablished a new record.
The remarkable nature of the voyage
can perhaps be better understood by com'
parison with the voyage of the British
bark Jordanhill, which arrived from
Guaymas October 7, after a passage of
60 days. The Irene in her 52 days' sailing
time covered twice the- distance sailed
by the big British bark in 60 days.
Guaymas is not an easy port for sailing
vessels to get away from and in Justice
to Captain Keneally, of the Jordanhill
It should be stated that most of the time
spent on the voyage was lost in getting
clear of the Mexican coast. For ail that
the performance of the Irene is a re
markable one and her round trip record
will probably remain undisturbed for
some time.
The Irene is a four-masted schooner
of 687 tons net register and has seldom
made a slow passage.
COAST STREWN WITH TIES
f r - '
Roanoke ' Sights Timbers From
Yaqulna Bay to Columbia.
Numerous ties were found floating on
the ocean between Yaqulna Bay and the
mouth of the Columbia River by the
steamer Roanoke, which arrived in
Portland from San Francisco ' and
Eureka Saturday night at 9:30 o'clock.
Whether the ties r.re the result of a
wreck or were swept from a vessel
that lost its deck load in the rough
weather that has been prevailing of
late along the Coast., has not been de
termined. It is believed that the ties found by
the Roanoke were from either the
steam schooner Saginaw or the steam
schooner Rainier, both of which ar
rived in San Francisco within the last
few days and reported having lost
their deck loads.
L. Black, first officer of the Roanoke,
a'id yesterday he believed the ties to
be a deck load' lost by a steamer along
the Coast.
For a few days a strong wind has
been blowing along the Coast from the
south. To northbound vessels it proved
of much advantage, but to those going
south it caused more or less trouble. It
was due to this wind, to a certain ex
tent, that the Roanoke broke its previ
ous records by about six hours from
San Francisco, when she arrived here
Saturday night.
The Roanoke left San Francisco at 1
o'clock Thursday afternoon, and moored
for four hours at Eureka, leaving
there at noon Friday. The fastest time
of the trip was made' between Eureka
and this port-
The Roanoke brought 120 passengers
from the south. She will sail for San
Francisco at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening.
