THE MORNING OltEGONIAN. MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1914. 9 FULLS CITY HAS S15.000 PAYROLL Addison Bennett Comments on Optimistic Spirit Preva lent Among Residents. STORES PROVOKE TRIBUTE While Iumbering Is Sole Industry SoTf, Day Is Declared Near When Igged-Off Land Will Yield Fruit 'and Other Crops. BY ADDISON BENNETT. FALLS CITY, Or., Jan. 18. (Special.) Nestling up In the canyon of the Lit tle Luckiamute River, 12 miles nearly due west of Dallas, Is the bustling- little town of Falls City, Its name coming from a 86-foot fall In the river just west of the town. It Is reached via the Palem, Falls City & Western Railway, which Is operated by the Southern Pa rtfic Company, so it goes without say ing that the town has a good service. There are three trains each way every (lay, and one of these is operated as far as Black Rock, a few miles up the canyon to the west of Falls City. The Little Luckiamute flows into the main Luckiamute a few miles to the southeast, and the Big Luckiamute then flows into the Willamette near Buena Vista. The elevation of the town is 3SH feet: its distance from Portland by rail is 73 miles. There Is not much farming land immediately adjacent to the town at the present time, but as the timber is cut off there will be a large area of rolling fruit land, and perhaps as good land for such purpose as can be found in or adjacent to the Wil lamette Valley. Indeed there seems no doubt of the place being a thriving agricultural community within a decade or so. The cut-over lands are offered at a low figure on easy terms, making it even now an attractive place for the home-seeker to investigate. Payroll Is $15,000. The rrsent prosperity of the town- and it is most undoubtedly prosperous comes from the lumber industry, there being a large and well-conducted sawmill right in the town, and' two or three logging crews in the nearby tim ber. On the payrolls of these enter prises there are nearly 200 men con stantly employed, giving the town a payroll of close to $15,000 a month. The population of the place by the census of 1910 was 960. Since then the growth has been conservatively estimated at 25 per cent, or say 1200 people at the present time. It will be apparent that a payroll of J15.000 a month in a town of that size gives something tangible to build upon and, remember, the em ployes of the timber interests alone are computed. What struck me most forcibly as entered the town was the great stocks of goods carried by the four large gen eral stores, the proprietors being as fol lows: M. SMig, Falls City Mercantile Company; CS. W. Brentner and Falls City Lumber Company. I did not In quire specifically, but I judged these houses, combined,- carry a stock ex reeding- $150,000 in value. Optimism Is Prevalent. Another mighty good omen confront ed me every man I spoke to in the place said business was good. Further than this, every mother's son of them seems to think that Falls City will go on prospering and growing. Particu larly am I Indebted to W. F. Nichols, cashier of the Bank of Falls City, for information relative to the town. He Is acting secretary of the Greater Falls City Commercial Club. Mr. Nichols is about as enthusiastic and yet con servative a booster as I have met for some time. Dynamite, famine or flood could not shake his faith In Falls City. He told me that practically every in dividual in the place feels about the matter the same as he does. It surely does one good to visit such a com munity. Before I went to the town I was asked, and asked more than once. If intended to remain there overnight. I replied that I most certainly did per- naps two nights. "Don t you do It, said the doubters. "Don't think of such a thing: the hotel accommodations are execrable." Perhaps they did not all use the same word, but their meaning was that the eating would be found horrid and the sleeping worse. Hotel Is Praised. I am pretty well used to stopping at notels. I know good ones from bad ones, and I usually manage to find pretty good treatment, but I sure had a surprise in store for me at Falls City for I found as good accommodation as could be expected In a much larger town at the Falls City Hotel. Th meals were good, and the beds were good, and the BrOprietbr. J. B. Tawney, treated me as well as any landlord could treat a patron. So I do not hesi tate to say to travelers that they will he well cared for at the Falls City Hotel. There is but one newspaper In the town, but the editor and proprietor Is one of the busiest and most active men in the profession. He Is a veritable Pooh Bah and then some. His titles would almost fill a book. For Instance, he Is an editor, a newspaper owner. City Auditor, Police Judge, Notary Publlo and real estate agent. He may be several other things. I did not In quire. Anyhow, he seems to stand migrhty higrh in the community and runs a neat and newsy little newspaper, the Falls City News. His name Is C. W. Lee. I had a brief chat with him. but he was so awful busy that he sent me back to Interview Mr. Nichols. "This Is my busy day, and the busiest time of the day," he said, "but here is a oopy of The News, which will tell you all about our beautiful and thriving little city. Municipal Plants Prosperous. Mentioning anew the name of Mr. Nichols brings up again the banking business and whom do you suppose Is president of the Bank of Falls City? Why, Ralph Williams, of course. Of the six banks In Polk County, Ralph rules three, some swath Ralph cuts In old Polk. Well, he Is a mighty fine fellow, and I wish he owned a few more institutions aB sound as those he now controls. The falls In the river create the power for driving the electric light plant, but during much of the year there must be a large surplus of power. The town has a splendid gravity water system wnicn is owned by the town. and is on a good financial basis. The school In the town is housed In splendid structure. Seven teachers are employed, and classes are instructed up to the twelfth grade. It Is said the students who pass through the school and get their diplomas are equal to the graduates of any high school in the state. The following denominations hold regular services in the town: Adven tists, Roman Catholic, Free Methodist. Methodist Episcopal and German Luth eran. Some of tho houses of worship are particularly handsome structures. Good Streets Needed. Of course the great industry of the town Is the sawmill. The corporation owning It Is the Falls City Lumber Company. F. S. Belcher Is president. SCENE AT WILLAMINA, II ii i in i n mi mi. in ' tit. van sc TOP, PUBLIC SCHOOL MIDDLE.

It Is practically operated by electric power generated from the saw dust and refuse. It cuts in excess of 100.000 feet a day. A few blocks on the main business street are hard -surfaced. Not "bitu lithicked," or asphalted, or anything like that, but macadamized in a way to show that when such a street or road is properly constructed It is about as good as any street need be. It wag raining great guns when I visited the place, had been for several days, but there was no mud worthy of mention on this street. Several more blocks will be treated the same way the coming Spring. The Oregonlan arrives at Fall City at 8:15 in the morning the day of publi cation, and enjoys a large circulation.

LIVELY YAMHILL TOWN I I -'..V.'.l t t ts J.'. SCHOOL PLANS TOLD L. P. Harrington Lauds Indus trial Contest Project. PUPILS' INTEREST AROUSED Field Worker Declares Tliat Scope of Oregon Method Is Beyond That Attained or Attempted Anywhere Else in States. CRESWELL, Or., Jan. 18. (Special.) Great interest is being manifested in the industrial club projects proposed for the public schools of the state, ac cording to L. P. Harrington, field worker from the office of State School Superintendent Churchill. Mr. Harrington, who passed Sunday at his home here, after a week in the schools of Eastern Lane County, has Deen telling of- the proposed clubs for the study of the -best methods of agri culture, stock raising, domestic arts and manual training, and has found ready response from the pupils, after explaining the prize trips that are to be given. 'Students of the Union High School at Pleasant Hill have already begun making milk tests and are keeping records so that they may be eligible to enter In the county fair contest under the dairy herd record Droiect ine school has a Babcock testing ma. chine, which the pupils are learning to use. jay getting mis eariy start tne students will be able to get In eight months' work before the time of the county Fair," said Mr. Harrington. In the same way other schools are interested In the vegetable growing contests and others In the pigraising clubs. In all the schools I find boys ana girls who are Interested in work ing for the attainment of the best dob slble results in things connected with their community. The State Department of Education acting under a school law passed last year, has worked out these plans for tne advancement of agriculture and manual training in the schools and for tne betterment of industrial school fairs. I had a little experience of this sort In Minnesota, but the plana that have been worked out for Oregon are iar ahead of the projects undertaken there. . In fact, I believe this Is the most comprehensive endeavor to ad vance industrial training of school children ever undertaken by any state ox tne union. "By the co-operation of the Agricul tural uouege we are able to iret iiaoie information and advice for the neip or the pupils, and from the United States Department of Agriculture we get. in addition to the department bul letlns the right to send out lnforma tion under a Government frank. This enables us to get the information di rectly to the pupils who want the help, jcsuiietins are being prepared and wm be sent to every school teacher in tne state, together with the request mat tne plans lor tne 10 different In dustrial projects be presented to their pupils."

A -I A. sJP' I :i;X, i':- iS - oi tr - it i' LOCATION OF BRIDGE IS QUESTION OF DAY Vancouver Citizens Are Divid ed Regarding Span Linking Oregon and Washington. NUMEROUS SITES OFFERED Many, However, Say Spot for Ap proach Immaterial, but Impor tant Matter Is Construction. Engineer Invites Opinions. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 18. (Spe- claL) "Well, where are they going to locate the bridge?" This has been ihe one big and all absorbing topic of conversation in Vancouver since the engineers. Wad dell & Harrington, have been engaged The location is the next step to be determined and there are about 12,000 people in Vancouver, practically all of whom will be affected more or less by the location of the bridge. Some would have the approach on the military reservation, while quite a large number would have it at the foot of Main street, which is but 40 feet wide. The bridge will be abou 40 feet wide, so It Is held by those opposed to Main street that the street is too narrow. Main street in vancou ver is the main street of the city in reality. Streetcars run on that street. If the bridge were located at the foot of Main street it is held there would be a congestion of traffic Some favor the foot of Washington street, one block west of Main, where the ferry now lands. This street Is 60 feet wide and is second in Importance from a business standpoint. Trestle May Forbid Location, There Is a question whether the bridge could be built under the North Bank trestle and yet have space for large interurban cars to pass.- At present the interurban cars of the Washington Corporation cannot pass under the trestle If built at the foot of Columbia street, the bridge would extend over the Northern Pacific docks, built on ground leased to the railroad company by the city for a long term of -years, but If necessary it is believed by Mayor Crass that arrangements could be made with the company. Another faction is in favor of build ing the bridge many blocks below Main or Washington streets, where a long, sloping approach could be built back to Fourth street, or Fifth, street, that there might be very little if any grade going on to the bridge. This might necessitate a grade crossing over the North Bank tracks, to wblcil Waddell & Harrington are generally opposed, as well as the State Railroad Commission. Edson M. Rowley, a large property owner In this city, fa vors Jefferson street for the reasons Just given. Opinion Are Invited. Mr. Harrington has Inserted an ad vertisement in local papers, ' asking that all interested in the location of the bridge send letters to him saying definitely what they favor, and when he returns this matter will be taken up in a broad way, and with the aid of the Joint commission, the Oregon Commission and the Washington Com mission, the matter will finally be settled. Many hold that the city will not be injured or benefited In any way by the location of the bridge. The bridge the main thing, to have a bridge. and where it lands will not amount to so much. When construction starts on the bridge the headquarters of the builders will be In Vancouver, right on the bank of the Columbia River, and most of the workmen will live in this city. Already realty values throughout this part of Washington have been enhanced, through the decision to build the bridge. SCHOOL CONTEST PLANNED Pasco Superintendent Starts Cam paign to Arouse Interest.
