"WASHIXGTOS COUNTY, IDAHO, A
HIGHLY FAVORED SECTION.
Brief "Write -Up of the Principal
Towns aad Leading Industries
ef the Region.
WEISER, Idaho, Dec 6. Washington
County, Idaho, has been called the "land
of promise" by a local .writer. The land
of. realization would be more appropriate.
Every acre Is a resource. The alleys pro
duce every kind of vegetation, the moun
tains are filled with all of the precious
metals, and the hills are covered with as
flue grazing: grass as the famed ranges
of Eastern Oregon. Besides, alfalfa arid
natural meadow hay, large amounts of
fruit and vegetables are raised, although
farmers strongly contend that they have
given little or no attention to these
crops.
Washington County is a natural fruit
country. Its apples compare favorably
with any in the world. The prune crop
never falls. Pears of the hardiest varie
ties are a boasted product. The Wel&er
Valley Fruit & Evaporating Company,
Incorporated, this year constructed a
59000 evaporator at Weiser. Although the
plant was not completed until late In the
season, and has a capacity of only 20
tons per day, by running two 10-hour
shifts it handled 600,000 pounds of green
fruit. Prunes alone were handled this
season, but other fruits will be given at
tention next t season. This is the only
plant of consequence in this section, and
one of the largest on the Pacific Coast.
It Is known as the Allen evaporator, and
was Invented In the Willamette Valley.
The management is thoroughly satisfied
with the first year's run. The company
expects to handle double the amount of
fruit another year. The principal owners
are J. M. Fisher, Alf Eoff and A. G. But
terfleld. Fruit Crop Sever Falls.
P. H. B. Mbulton, who has been In the
fruit business here for six years, states
that there is no such thing as a failure
of the crop. Whle there are a few pests,
the damage from this source is not con
siderable There are now 1000 acres In
orchards in the vicinity of Weiser, one
half of which are bearing. Prune trees
begin to bear here at five years, pears at
six and apples at seven, that is, in pay
ing quantities. Prunes and pears average
GOOO pounds to the acre, while apples
yield as high as 12,000 pounds. Fruit can
be produced in every valley in the county
in like proportion, and young orchards
ar being put out, and within a few year
the ?Jeld can onlv be imagined.
There are 250,000 head of sheep owned
In this county. Two million pounds ot
wool are exported annually. Sheep, cat
tle, horses and hogs are also among the
heavy shipments Alfalfa is the principal
hay crop, and the acreage is being in
creased each season. Six thousand tons
are raised annually in the vicinity of
Weiser.
The wealth of the Seven Devils country
was first discovered in 1862. The name
was given to the country at that time
because of the seven peaks that tower
above the range of mountains In the vl
I cinity, and tho .naccesslblllty of the coun
try. The region could only be reached.
until recently, on packhorses and on foot,
through deep, narrow canyons and over
I roof-shaped foothills. The seven peaks
which tower above these mountains are
perpetually covered with snow.
Mineral Resources Are Larjre.
Although the products of the soil are
large and increasing, the mining Industry
is no less prosperous. When ore can
be taken in its raw state and shipped to
New York and there sold at a large prof
It, It means that It Is rich. The copper
mines of Washington County are said to
be unequaled for richness, while the sup
ply Is almost unlimited. The famous
Seven Devils country lies in this county.
The mines there and all through the
mountains are Immensely rich.
There are eight mines now In operation.
Six of these are in the Seven Devlli coun
try, 40 miles from Council, the terminal
olnt of the grade of the Pacific. Idaho
& Isorthern Railroad, and the other two
are in the Heath district. 16 miles north
rwest of Cambridge, tne present terminus
I of the road. Most of these mines yield
ore that carries 40 per cent copper and
57 50 in gold and J7 in silver to the ton.
This ore is hauled on wagons to Cam
bridge and there shipped by rail to dif
ferent points, some going to New York
City. In early days, it was brought out
on packhorses a distance of 100 miles and
shipped at a profit. Until the completion
of the Pacific, Idaho & Northern Rail
road to Cambridge, less than a year ago.
it was hauled to Weiser on wagons. As,
a copper district, it is said to be unsur
passed in the world, and the ore grows
richer as development progresses. A cop
per smelter Is to be placed at the Seven
Devils next season.
In tho Heath district there Is Iron and
lime close at hand to treat the ore. It
is only a question of time Until smelters
nill be common in thia district, and then
the mining Industry, will become the
I leading resource.
Lumbering will spring Into Importance
with the completion of the railroad. At
I present, all of the lumber comes from
Oregon, and Is shipped and hauled into
the interior at an enormous expense. The
new railway will tap an Immense body
lot timber, consisting of tamarack, fir and
pine. The belt is CO miles wide north
jand south, and TO miles In length cast
fand west. While the timber is not equal
to that of Oregon, it will be used in large
buanitties where ordinary building ma
terial Is required.
The towns of Washington County are
all good trade centers. Prosperity oulck-
ens the business pulse and attracts and
makes shrewd business men. There is
sharp competition among some of the
Bmaller towns, but for the present tho
county seat carries the banner.
WelBer, the County Seat Town.
Tho largest town in the county, and
also the county seat town, is Weiser. It
ts situated In Weiser Valley, at the con
fluence of the Snake and elser Rivers.
It is located on the Oregon Short Lino
iruuiroaa, ana is the starting point of
-.e Pacific Idaho & Northern Railroad.
"he town has a population of 1G00 to 1800.

Ifche best evidences of a town's growth

Inst year the receipts were more than
1(0000. In less than four years, the salary
f the postmaster has been increased

County, California. In 1664 he moved to Canyon City, Oregon. Five jears later
he emigrated to Idaho, but lt was not until 1SS6 that he came to "Weiser. He
originally engaged la stock-raising, and Is now In the banking business, being
the president ot the Bank of Welter. He has served In the Legislature of
Idaho, and filled several local offices. In politics, Mr. Anderson Is a Democrat.

Weiser has two substantial banking In
stitutions. The Bank of Weiser ws es
tablished in 1S34, has a capital stock of
550,000 A- B Anderson is president, and
George C. Bradley cashier. The State
Bank of Idaho also has a capital stock
of 530,000, with Edward ShalhWiUd as
president, and Charles J. Selwyn cashier.
These banks are each doing a good busi
ness. There are several large general stores
here, that cater to an Immense trade.
Thomas B. Keeley. a local lumberman,
Is handling an Immense amount of Ore
gon lumber. At present. Oregon Is fur
nishing the material for building up
Weiser, and the Interior towns of Wash
ington County. The newspaper men of
Weiser are thoroughly enterprising and
a credit both to the town and the, pro
fession. Phenomenal Town of Cambridge.
Cambridge is the phenomenal town or
Washington County. Less than a year
ago lt was a hay meadow. It Is to be
found on but few maps yet, but Is pos
sibly the most enterprising town in this
part of the state. It started with "push"
behind It, and there is no abatement
in the energy of its promoters and busi
ness men. The town was laid out In
the month of September of last year.
The Pacific, Idaho and Northern Hall
road, of which It is the present termi
nus, reached the place on the 30th of
December, last year; that is, the first
train was run on that date. The founda
tion for the first building in the town
was laid just one year ago. but the build
ing of the town practically began last
February. Today the town has four
general stores, one dry goods store, two
forwarding houses, two hotels, two res.
taurants, a newspaper and bank, four
livery stables one blacksmith shop, one
physician, two lawyers, a real estate
office, barber shop, millinery establish
ment, four saloons, a furniture and un
dertaking establishment, two lumber
yards, coal yard, photograph galleryi
postoffice, telegraph and telephone lines
and express office, jewelry store, a hall
where public meetings are held, harness
and saddle shop, two meat markets and
three stage lines one to Council, an
other to Crane's Creek and the third to
Meadows and the Seven Devils country.

ty Is true of all they are fertile and will
produce anything that will grow in this
climate. Fruits, here as elsewhere, are
the best. The rich lowlands alone
around Cambridge will always sustain It,
the cattle Industry will add to its wealth,
while mining will make it a permanent
town. It Is asserted that when the rail
road Is extended to the town of Council,
20 miles further on, which will be by
January 1, that a good slice of business
will be lost to Cambridge, but that town
Is in no wise alarmed. It has Its own
rich local territory and the mining dis
trict of the Heath- country to draw
from, and this Is ample The first year's
shipments from Cambridge were large.
Caruthers Brothers Company, a large es
tablishment, handled 7,300,000 pounds ot
freight this season. They shipped 600,000
pounds of wool, 40,000 head of sheep, 700
head of hogs, 500 head of cattle, and
ore to the amount of 1,485.000 pounds,
Cambridge boasts of its school facilities.
At present temporary quarters are being
used for a schoolroom, but the contract
has been let for a 53000 two-story ve
neered brick school building 2S by 55 feet.
Two teachers are employed and there Is
'
a regular attendance of SO pupils. The
school continues nine months In the
year. D. J. Butcher, J. H. Anderson and
William Eddy are the directors.
A water system is being planned for
the place. Weiser River will be the.
source of supply. The town Is principally
owned by a company of which M. H.
Hopper Is president and George I Brown
manager.
Many of the business men are from Ore
gon D. J. Butcher, Johnson & Marquis.
S. F. Richardson & Bon, and W. H. Eck
les, all have general stores; L. B. Levee
has a dry goods and clothing store; Mon.
day & Rlggs are harness and saddle
makers; the People's Bank is a branch
bank of the State Bank of Idaho, of

J. H. Anderson; Shepherd Brothers are
Jewelers; W. J. Winder deals In furni
ture and lumber, and E. E. Lorton is
druggist.

passed lt by and "made" the town of
Cambridge, two miles distant, across the
river. It was generally predicted that
Salubria would die. But the enterprising
men of Salubria said No! Salubria Is
established. It has the same resources
to draw from as Cambridge, Is already in
the saddle, and railroad or no railroad,
we'll fight for Its life and continued pros
perity. Although Its newspaper moved to
Cambridge, another plant was purchased
and the Salubria News-Letter estab
lished. With new-faced type it launched
forth, with L. W, Smith editor, L R.

In a nutshell, the leading business
men of the p!ace maintain that Salubria
Is Just as prosperous as it ever was,

road made an elbow to get around Salu
bria, and that in the course of time thls-i
"kink" will be straightened out and
Salubria will be on the line. Anyway,
there is no reason why Salubria and
Cambridge should not extend their limits
until they meet, and, together, make a
large town.
The Coming Town of Cmnty.
Council is the coming town of Washing
ton County. It has always been a cen
tral point. Long before the white man
made his way Into this region, the In
dians gathered there from the four points
of the compass and held their councils ot
peace. They still regard the place as
sacred, and come many "suns" to visit
their old seat of peace. Thus the town
takes Its name. Janunary 1, the Pacific,
Idaho & Northern Railroad has prom
ised to have Its trains running to Coun
cil. The grading is all completed, and
track is being laid as rapidly as men can
be secured to do the work. The town Is
situated 57 miles, north of Weiser. on the
Weiser River, and 42 miles southeast of
the Seven Devils country. While the
main line of the road will continue north,
a branch line will be extended into the
Seven DeVIls region. iThe grading Is al
ready begun. Thus Council will be the
distributing point for a va3t mining and

California Petroleum miners' Asso
ciation Sings His Praises.
WASHfNGTON, Dec 4. The President
recently received from the Petroleum
Miners' Association of California an elab
orate memorial. In which they take oc
casion to pay some very high compli
ments to Commissioner Hermann, of the
General Land Office, and to indorse him
and his administration ot the office he
has held for the past four years. Com
missioner Hermann has lately been taking
a band In a number of cases affecting the
oil fields of Southern California, and from
facts now on file and predictions of ex
perts who claim to know, lt Is asserted
that the-se fields are to take place along-
side "the oil fields of Pennsylvania .and
become the great oil center of the West.
In their memorial to President MeKin
ley this association expresses its grati
tude for what Mr. Hermann has done
for the petroleum mining indsutry of Cal
ifornia, an industry which lt claims
promises to be greater in Its yield and
more Important to the commerce of the
Pacific Coast than that of the gold. This
association expresses particular gratitude
oTer the action of the Commissioner in
regard to the oil industry of that sec
tion, and it is free to express the
belief that his recent rulings, appealing,
as they did to the men employed In the
fields, and In their development, added
not less than 15.000 votes to the Republi
can party on the National ticket in Cali

Democratic party and are said to be now

UNIVERSITY EMTTEJf PROVED ITS

Merit of "Webfoot Football Players
Aclcno-rvlcdsed, and Some Named
for an "All-Coast" Team.
The San Francisco Chronicle's football
.expert, In a review of the California col
legiate gridiron play for the season, refers
to the fact of the successful appearance
of the University of Oregon and Univer
sity of Nevada elevens in ths games as
an Important factor, and points out that
the "Webfoot and Sagebrush players
should feel encouraged to try again.
In making up an "All-Coast" team, he
Includes Zelgler, of Oregon, as end, and
Keddle, of Nevada, as fullback. In the
list. Moreover, he places Jakway, of Ore
gon as substitute tackle. He also singles
out Seeley. of Stanford, an Oregdn boy,
as guard on the "All-Coast" eleven.
Here's what he says:
The annual Thanksgiving game and
Stanford's hard-fought victory closed the
most prosperous season football has had
on the Coast Two of the smaller insti
tutions, Nevada and Oregon, appeared on
the gridiron this year, and, by defeating
eacfi one of the greater universities,
showed their right to be considered as
factors in the championship fight.
"Whether the smaller colleges won on
their merits, or, as is most probable, on
the strength of an off-day on the part of
the greater colleges, there can be no
doubt that the result was a good thing for
"Western football. It showed to the small
er Institutions that the lead of Stanford
and California is no cinch, and will en
courage them to make their pilgrimage
an annual feature.
Now that the smoke of the battle has
cleared away, it Is easy to see thai the
Stanford boom of mid-season had very
little foundation in fact. It is true that
in the early Fall the cardinal players
were some three or four touoh-downs
better than their opponents, but In the
late season, the time for forming judg
ments, the only basis for the boom was
the i-0 score against Reliance, which
really counted very little, as the athletic
club players were In no shape to put up
a game. The California men Improved
steadily, and consistently, and were at
their best on the very day of the game.
Stanford's "GroelllriK" Did It.
The experts are saying now that the
gruelling style of close formation play
adopted by the Stanford backs was the
thing that turned the fide In the second
half. Unaccustomed to such an offense
from their weaker second team, the Cali
fornia men lost their power to play an
aggressive, "Jumping" defense. "With the
kicking of Traeger and More eliminated,
the two 'varsities played neck and neck.
But out of three trials apiece, Traeger
scored one to More's none, and this gave
the victory.
"With such a general upset in. conditions
as has taken place this year, the selec
tion Of an "All-Coast" team on the lines
of the Eastern "All-America" team- is
rendered very difficult. Perhaps a bet
ter basis of individual comparison would
be a theoretical team picked to play an
Eastern team at Christmas. The best all
round selection for sdeh an eleven would
probably be as follows:
Fullback. Keddle, Nevada, 172; half
backs. Smith. California, 165. and Slaker.
Stanford. 173; quarter, Raltt. Stanford,
160; center. Cornlsn, California, 173;
guards, Seeley, Stanford, 185, and Overall.
California, 202; tackles, Traeger. Stan
ford. 190. and Prlngle. California, ISO;
ends. WombIe. California, 160, and Zeig
"er, Oregon, 131.
Substitutes In the back field. Gammon,
U. C, Hill, S., Dinsmore, Reliance: quar
terback, Bansbach. S.: center, J. McFad
den, S.. guard, Clay, U C: tackle, Jak
way, O., and Albertson. U. C; end, T.
McFadden. S., and Hudson, U. C.
Among the backs, Raltt has the call on
the quarter position because of all-round
work- His play in the big game Is not
a fair criterion as he was handicapped
by lack of condition and recent bereave
ment. Smith, of California, Is the best
halfback, without a doubt, on the Coast.
He is strong In bucking, in defense and
in end running, and Is gritty. Slaker is
equally good at half or full. He cannot
kick or run the ends, but is a sure de
fensive player, ind can always be counted
on for his gain on a line play. "With three
backs who cannot jyint, a man who has
the kicking faculty would be needed at

as good as any other man on the Coast,

Cornish has the call on the other cen
ters because of his steadiness. His weak
point Is lack of aggression. Seeley, while I
only fair on defense, opens better holes
than any other man in the line. Overall,
the giant freshman, is inexperienced, but
his natural adaptability gives him a
slight advantage over Clay. Traeger and
Prlngle as tackles are In a class by them
selves. Tho former adds to the strength
of his own position the knack of placo
kicking.
At end some exception may be taken to
the choice of Zeigler, on account of his
light weight, only 134 pounds. Neverthe-'j
less, this, does not seem, to make the I
slightest difference in his play. He

"Womble Is without a doubt the best end
on the Coast, and would be a star any
where. This team, would be steady rather than
brilliant; would be stronger in the backs
than In the line, and would play best a
line-smashing rather than a running
game.

fore, pray that the Common Council of
Portland will take steps to Improve tha
stfeet at its earliest convenience.
The pdtltlon specified the portion need
ihg improvement as" lying between tho
Southern Pacific crossing of Mllwaukie
avenue and Baldwin switoh. The peti
tioners do not suggest how It shall be
graded or the kind of pavement they de
sire put down, but merely pray that the
street many be made passable.
In speaking on the subject yesterday
afternoon. Mayor Rowe said he could not
see how the relief can be afforded at
present, as there is no money at the dis
posal ot the Council for the purpose, and
the property abutting on the street could
not be made to pay the expense. He real
ized the importance of the improvement,
not only to the Clackamas County fann
ers, but to the people of Portland, but
was afraid nothing could be done in the
matter for some time to come. The peti
tion, however, will be placed before the
street committee and the Council In Its
regular order.
