For the man with courage, the man who has the energy to back up his own judg

fers possibilities not equaled anywhere else on the American Continent.
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad is the great all-Canadian line being built
from the Atlantic to the Pacific by the Government and the Grand Trunk Com
pany, jointly, and it opens up a country so rich in agr 'cultural possibilities that
even the unimaginative government scientists sent to examine and report upon the

THE FARMER'S PARADISE
99
This land is in the rich Nechaco Valley and along the streams and bottoms
where the railroad line runs, is level and smooth. Here and there axe small patches
of tree growth, consisting of alder, jack pine and cottonwood in quantities just
about large enough to furnish timber for fencing and for fuel.
The land, in Summer, is covered with a dense growth of wild hay, cutting, in
many cases, four tons to the acre. This grass grows voluntarily, and makes the
finest of fodder for stock. It is the greatest natural dairying country you have
ever seen.
Fruits of all kinds grow quickly and the flavor and color are as perfect as may
be found in the famous fruit sections of Oregon or Washington.
We are interested, greatly, in the development of Canada and British Colum
bia, especially, from an agricultural standpoint. We want Americans of character
to become interested in this great land of opportunity, either as investors or as set
tlers. You Can Get From 40 to 640 Acres of This Land, With Govern
ment Guaranteed Title, at $3.85 to $5.50 an Acre, on Terms
You do not have to be a citizen of Canada or even a resident to secure full title
th this land. You may pay for it on easy payments extending over three years'
time, if you like.
We have opened permanent offices in Portland for the distribution of British
Columbia lands. Those who come here first will, of course, have best choice. You
must know that the lands on the Rivers, on the Lakes, and on the Railroad lines
will be taken quickly and that the values of these lands will rise very rapidly. .
Gall at Our Offices and Learn Ahout This Great Country
Let Us Tell You Just What the Chances Are for Making Money There
We have government official reports, and the field notes of the Government
Engineers, made right upon the ground, showing every detail regarding every piece
of land we advise you to purchase. These special reports and field notes show the
exact character of the soil, the exact location of , each quarter section, the timber
growth, if any, upon each piece, the creeks, streams, or springs upon the land, the
character of the growth or. vegetation upon the land and what it is best adapted for
in the way of crops. These reports are official and give you every possible piece of
information regarding the land in which a prospective purchaser might be interest
ed. They prevent the possibility of your buying a piece of land which you do not
know all about. These reports are the expert advice of qualified government agri
culturalists upon the land. We advise you to take NOW-while you can get it for
almost nothing while the country is new and undeveloped.
This is the way to make money, either as an investment or as a farm to live
upon while values are increasing.

BOAT HITS BRIDGE
Current Hurls Rainier Upon
Burnside Viaduct.
CRAFT FINALLY DISLODGED
Damage to Steamer Is Considerable,
but Bridge Is Reopened for
Traffic and Repairs Will Be
Made at Later Date.
Traffic across the Burnside-street
bridge was held up for nine hours yes
terday, and during the rush hours the
Steel and Morrison bridges were . taxed
to the utmost with streetcars and vehi
cles. The Burnside bridge was put out of
commission at 7:20 A. M.. when the steam
schooner Rainier, Captain Charles Lund
qulst. and In charge of Pilot Ed. SudHvan,
bumped into the west span.
The Rainier was attempting to back
through the draw and her stern struck
the west pier, throwing the bow across
the current. Attempts to stop the craft
were useless and she went crashing Into
the bridge.
It was late in the afternoon before the
vessel was pulieU from her perilous posi
tion by three tugs and with the aid of
lines run to the Ash-street dock and on
which the steam winches aboard the
steamer pulled Incessantly.
Captain Crowe, surveyor for the San
Francisco Board of Underwriters, esti
mates the damage to the Rainier at about
$X). He tias not figured out the damage
to the bridge. The steamer's stem was
badly stove in; lifeboat No. 1, together
with the davits, was totally wrecked:
several stanchions on the starboard elde
were broken, the bulwarks forward were
smashed on the Btarboard side, and the
stem was damaged.
The tiridge was pushed several Inches
out of line and considerable ironwork will
be necessary to put It in flrst-class shape.
Streetcar traffic! will, not be interfered
with, the bulk of the damage being on
the south side walk.
Captain Lundtjuist will make a report
to the United States Inspectors today, as
will Captain 9ulllvan, the pilot In charge.
The vessel will be placed on drydock,
surveyed, and repairs will be made as
soon as possible. The Rainier is a regular
packet plying between Portland and Cali
fornia ports.
The Rainier has been discharging gen
eral cargo at the Oak street-dock and
was to have shifted yesterday morning
to Columbia No. 1. Before leaving the
dock Pilot Sullivan advised the assist
ance of a tugboat for the passage of the
bridges. For some reason a boat was not
secured and the Rainier attempted the
passage of the Burnside and Steel bridge
draws under her own steam.
When the stern of the Rainier struck
the west pier the bow swung around to
ward the west bank. She was absolutely
helpless In that position and tugs were
crdcred.. In swinging with the current
the stem of the Rainier collided with the
corner of Digger Pcdge No. 3, belonging
to the Columbia Dredging iCompany and
moored at the foot of Ankeny street.
The contact damaged the stem of the
Rainier to such an extent that she will
be compelled to go on the drydock. The
digger dredge was not Injured to any
extent.
With the aid of the steamers O. K.
Wentworth, Shaver and Diamond "O the
Rainier was dragged from her position
at 4:30 o'clock and placed in a safe berth
at Alaska dock. During the time that
the vessel was held prisoner by the cur
rent, throngs of people flocked to the
bridge to get a sight of the wreck. Po
lice officers, however, held the crowd In
check and there was little excitement
beyond crowding.
Harbormaster Speler appeared in the
role of general superintendent. By
prompt action he saved the lives of sev
eral people who had climbed to vantage
points on the Ankeny-street dock. Two
steel cables were attached to the Rai
nier and on these the three tugs were
pulling under a full head of steam. Cap
tain Speier perceived the danger should
a cable part and hurried to order the peo
ple out of the way. Scarcely had he
Issued the warning when both cables
parted and the 'end of one swept across
the dock where, a moment before a
score of people had been standing. Dur
ing the day three nine-Inch Manilla haw
sers carried away by the tremendous
strain placed on them by the, current
holding the steamer up against the
bridge.
To complicate matters the drift jam,
which had collected at the east end of
the Madison-street bridge, gave way at
1 o'clock and came down the river with
a rush. Fortunately the drift passed
down on the east side and failed to
block at either the Morrison, Burnside
or Steel bridges.

Dealers Preparing for Spurt in
Local Market.
DEMAND PROMISES HEAVY
Europe and East Issues Call for Ore
gon Crop Trade Will Run
From 14,000 to 16,000
Bales Here.
The hop dealers of Portland and Salem
are preparing for another spurt In the
market as soon as the holiday spirit Is
out of the air.
Since the buying flurry of last week,
when 6000 bales were taken off this
market, there has not been much busi
ness done, but orders from the Bast and
Europe have accumulated In the past
few days, and another boom seems Im
minent. Very few hops are left unsold In Ore
gon, the trade estimates ranging from
UAVt , ic MA Kola, romnlnlnff In the
hands of farmers out of a total crop
of 70,000 bales. Stocks In California and
Washington are also closely sold up. The
larger Oregon growers say they will not
part with their crops before Spring, so
It Is likely that even a moderate buying
movement would have a stimulating
effect on the market.
The price of good Oregon hops ranges
from 21 to 24 cents. There have been a
number of sales under 20 cents recently,
but the hops Involved were of Inferior
quality. For the good of the market it
is well that these poor hops are being
taken away.
The underlying strength of the market
comes from the fact that the English
dealers have not yet secured their usual
requirements In this country. England's
annual purchases of American hops are
from 50,000 to 100.000 bales. Up to the
present time the export . purchases on
the Coast and in New York have been
only about 15,000 hales. As the English
crop this year and the Continental crops
as well were almost a failure, it follows
that the exports will reach the maximum
figure.
At'the present time there is a better
demand from England for Oregon hops
than there has been any time this season.
The foreigners are slow in raising their
bids, however, and that is the only
thing that prevents a whirlwind buying
campaign. Among the cable orders re
ceived yesterday was one from London
for a large block of choice hope, the
price offered being 2t cents on board
cars. Eastern orders are numerous at
23 to 234 cents.
Altogether the market is from 1 to 2
cents better than it was a week ago.
The most significant development yes

wire. It was the purchase by Paul R. G.

ARCHITECT'S ARREST AT WED
DING INCENSES MINISTER.

Other Way.
Friends of Herbert Booth King, who
was arrested by Constable Wagner and
Deputy Kiernan Wednesday night, Just
before the time for his marriage to Miss
Georglna E. Billings, are up in arms at
what they consider an outrage. It de
veloped yesterday that Dr. William Hiram
Foulkes, pastor of the First Presby

ding ceremony, knew of the pending suit
for $33.35 against King, but did not think

after the arrest, Russell Smith, his best
man, putting up Jf5 for this purpose.
Dr. Foulkes is much Incensed over the
affair.
O. B. Ballou, of Ballon & Wright, re
fuses to discuss the affair, saying h
had nothing to do with it. that these
money matters are In the charge of C.
F. Wright, his partner, and O. O. Tii'k
nor, the treasurer of the bicycle and
automobile firm. Mr. Wright said the
bill had been due since last June, and
that it was placed In the hands of James
A. Beckwlth for collection. Further than
this he refused to talk, except to say
that if ho had known that King was
about to be married, the young man
would not have been arrested-
Mr. Ticknor said yesterday he tried four
times Wednesday to collect the bill, and
that he resorted to the warrant only wIipii
every other means failed, and when he
found King was about to leave town on
a honeymoon trip.
Canned Garden and Orchard Products
Contain No Preservatives
We want you to know, Mrs. Housewife, that the talk about preserv
atives doesn't refer to fruit or vegetables put up in tin cans.
No canner of garden or orchard products
uses any preservatives. This is invariably true.
The preserving is done by sterilization done
by heat alone. Chemical preservatives are
entirely unnecessary, a useless expense.
Our canneries, naturally, are located where
the best of our products
grow. And we natur
ally plant but the finest
varieties.
Our canneries are al
ways close to our gar
dens and orchards. So
our products are canned
in the prime of, their
freshness withinafew
hours of the picking.
Our fruits are never picked green and left to
ripen in shipment. Our vegetables are never
allowed to wither like those which you get from
the vegetable man. So- canned products will

garden or orchard. Yet they are even cheaper.
The sterilizing is done by terrific heat after
the can is sealed. Then the products remain
just as luscious and fresh as they were the
day we cookedthem.
Now we can get fruits
and vegetables in Jan

as in June. We owe
that to sterilization.
This fact has im

Del Monte The Choicest Peaches From Our 1,000,000 Trees
Del Monte requirements demand the large, luscious,
tree-ripened peaches. They are firm, delicious fruit
packed in heavy, clear guaranteed sugar syrup.
Del Monte peaches are the first grade of all the
peaches we pick. From our million trees we obtain
every quality which we put tip in cans under-more than
200 different labels and brands. Most of these brands
are our own; some belong to dealers.
Of all these brands Del Monte peaches are the best
value. They are the cream of this great crop. Some
dealers have tts pack for them, under their own labels,
this famous Del Monte quality. It would make no dif
ference in buying these choice peaches if you knew
under what brands the Del Monte quality is packed.
Since there is no way of knowing, the surest way is to
insist upon getting Del Monte peaches 20c per can
everywhere.
