FENCE THWARTS COYOTES
Wire Structure of Forestry Service
Boon to Sheepmen.
WASHINGTON.- Oct 2. A successful
barrier against the Inroads of the coyote
in the sheep flocks of the West has been
found, it Is believed. In the coyote-proof
fence, experiments with which have been
carried on during the last year by a
special agent for the forestry service at
Billy Meadows, on the Wallowa National
forest reserve in Oregon, according to a
bulletin made public today ,by the for
estry service.
Coyotes came to the fence nearly every
night for 90 days, according to the re
port; and occasionally followed it for
miles, but not one succeeded in passing
over or under except when the snow was
deep enough to give them an easy jump.
Summarizing the experiments for the sea
son of 1908, the report' says:
"The coyote-proof fence was entirely
successful as a protection against coy
otes: not successful against bears: is still
problematical against bobcats; not suc
cessful against lynxes, and of course not
successful against badgers. The damage,
however, from- bears, bobcats and lynxes
is small when compared with the large
losses from the coyotes."

Serviceable Building Material Found
Near Home.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 2. (Special.) Bulle
tin No. 3S7, recently Issued by the United
States - Geogical Survey, is devoted to
"Structural Materials in Parts of Ore
gon and Washington.". N. H. Darton is
the author. The writer notes that the
rapid growth of cities In these twe states
has caused a great demand for building
materials and declares that the cost of
most supplies now brought from distant
points .can be reduced by utilizing the
local resources of Washington and Ore
gon. The bulletin continues: "Limestone is
available in ample supply for cement
manufacture; building stones, even to'
finest marbles, exist In some of the moun
tains, and extensive deposits, of clay,
sands and other building materials occur
at many localities near the coast."
Discussing the general geological re
lations in the Portland region,- Mr. Darton
says: "The extensive terraces about Port
land consist of gravel and sand of Qua
ternary age, deposited by Columbia and
Willamette rivers. These lie in a wide
trough excavated in rocks of a later ter
tiary age, in part volcanic. . The high
ridge west of Portland consists of dark
basalt, extensively covered by a loess-like
silt and local gravel deposits. The high
lands west of Portland consist largely
of basalt, which outcrops extensively in
the steep eastern slope and in all. of the
deeper canyons. The rock reaches the
west bank of the Willamette at the foot,
of Seymour street in the southern por
tion of Portland, and It Is exposed in
the east bank In a low bluff opposite
Riverside Cemetery. Thence south it Is
extensively exposed along the sides of
the river beyond Oregon City, where the
falls are over high ledges of it."
Discussing the heights west of Port
land, the bulletin says: "These are
covered by a thick mass of fine-grained
porous silt, closely resembling the loess
of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. It
is several hundred feet thick in places."
Referring' to structural materials In the
vicinity of Portland. It is said: "Very
extensive beds of gravel underlie parts
of the uplands in the Portland and Van
couver regions, and. while they are dug
for road making they have not been used
extensively for concrete."
In the opinion of the author of the
bulletin, broken rock will some time be
used more - extensively for building con
crete structures when the quarries are
able to produce more than is demanded
for road work. The largest part of the
broken rock brought to Portland Is quar
ried on the banks of the Columbia River
below St. Helens. "In the vicinity of
Portland a large supply of rock Is avail
able from the dark-colored basalt con
stituting the core of the highlands Im
mediately west of the city and the river
banks above the city, notably at the
falls of the Willamette at Oregon City."
Referring to the basalt of Rocky Butte,
the bulletin says' "the dimensions indi
cate a volume of over 200,000,000 tons
within easy reach for excavation," and
"although the basalt outcrop in Mount
Tabor is very small, doubtless is much
more extensive underground."
It is stated that within a radius ot
100 miles of Portland, clays suitable for
terra cotta and other building materials
are found, but' as yet no special atten
tion has been given to them."
The language of the author of the bulle
tin indicates that the geologists expect to
see the gray basalt of Rocky Butte come
Into more general use in Portland for
building purposes. .
The bulletin Is profusely illustrated
and contains much instructive material
on the stores of building materials in the
earth in the vicinity of Portland.
RATE WAR GROWS WARMER
Homeseekers Profit oy Steamship
Fight In California. -
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 2. The war
of the- steamship companies ' is on in
costly earnest, and a passenger can ride
from Los Angeles ro San Francisco,
meals Included, for $1. Counting the
trolley fare between this city and the
beach, the total Is $1.36. This includes
all meals and a stateroom.
The thousands of homeseekers who
have reached California on the reduced
cheap tourist rates from the East are
taking advantage of the steamship war
and crowding the coast steamers to their
capacities. The railroads are running
trains minus much of the heavy traffic
that they usually have at this season.
The traffic agents regard the militant
steamship men with great disgust.
The $1 rate between the two coast cities
was reached last night, when the West
Coast Line met the previous big cut of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
and went a few notches lower. The first
steamer to sail under the new rate will
be the Yosemite, leaving for the north
next Tuesday.
The West Coast Company extended its
battle front in last night's announcement
by catting the rates to Seattle and Port
land, to which points the fare has hither
to been unaffected. This company will
sell tickets to Seattle for $15.S5 and to
Portland for $11.50. The present rates are
$22.50 and $20. respectively.
The Pacific Coast Company Is selling
out all Its boats for San Francisco at Its
present rate of $5.35 first class and $3.25
second class. Practically every berth on
th Santa Rosa has been sold for Mon
day's ' sailing. The President and the
Topeka reservations also were put on
and are practically gone.
The steamer St. Croix, of the Schu-bach-Hamilton
Company, arrived yester
day from-San Francisco with the limit
of passengers, and was already sold out
for the return trip ibefore she reached
this port. It is expected "that the latter
company will make another cut to meet
the West Coast and that the Pacific
Coast people will do likewise.

is 55 miles from the nearest mountain range and only 369 feet above sea level,
and is 300 miles from the coast. , '
Then ask why is it that two-thirds of the people of the Northwest, and
also of the East, are looking toward the Richland Valley, the center of THE
COLUMBIA RIVER EARLY FRUIT BELT." Because it is the land
that has proven itself right. It's early, it's exclusive, it's the very center of
all the Northwestern markets, than which there are no better on earth; its cli
matic conditions are right no mud or slush; located on soil that will grow
anything.
This valley is without, doubt the prettiest irrigated tract in the North
west, lying as it does on' a high peninsula overlooking the Columbia and
Yakima Rivers for several miles in either direction and also several lakes
of various sizes from one-quarter to three-quarters of a mile in length, and all
within less than two miles of town, in a country where every year there are
300 days of sunshine in which to enjoy these gifts of nature, and included ,
free with every purchase.
About every district claims for itself every virtue that can possibly be
attached to any country; but when you stop to logically reason out the con
ditions that do exist, which were created by God and later developed by the
ingenuity of man, and combine these two, we then find that the ideal condi
tions for the future of the country are really here.
For instance, all climatic conditions in the Northwest are governed by the
nearness to mountain ranges and the effects that are caused thereby. You
might liken the entire Inland Empire country to an immense bowl, taking
the top of the Bitter Root, Blue and Cascade Mountain ranges (which circle
this entire country) as the top of this bowl; then, by referring to the map, you
will find that v
"THE COLUMBIA RIVER
EARLY FRUIT BELT "
as located at Kennewick and Richland, is not only the farthest point from a
mountain range in the entire Northwest, but . the lowest irrigated altitude
north of San Jose, California. Here we have less rain, less cloudy weather,
practically no mud or snow. The water which is used f or irrigation comes
through long ditches and longer rivers, and by the time the land in this val
ley is reached it is in a delightfully warm condition to be placed on the roots
of growing plants, forcing them through and forming one of the prime causes
of the extreme earliness of this district. As you approach the -sides of any
of these mountain 'ranges where the other various fruit districts are located and
at a higher altitude, these conditions are all lessened to a material degree. Con
ditions which tend to retard the growing plants are there found and the flower
buds are kept from blossoming; so that the products of the 5 and 10-acre
tracts are not put on the market until our harvest has been gathered and
sold at large prices. This exclusiveness, and being able to place our crops
in the various markets of the Northwest (than which such places as Spo
kane, Seattle, Butte, Helena, Portland, Anaconda, Coeur d'Alene, British
Columbia and Alaska, the world affords no better markets. People m these
cities make money easily and spend it accordingly, and are willing to pay
almost any money for our extremely early products.)
Kennewick and Richland are not only the early parts of the country, but
are the transportation centers of the Inland Empire. Thus you can easily see
for, yourself, and will.be convinced by tracing out the different railroads
that radiate in nearly every direction from our little city, that our future as
a transportation and commercial center is assured.
