The Stoddard - Brannar Company,
which owna tha controlling interest tn
tha Island, raports that tha steel com
pany baa taken an option and prae
tlcallr eloeed negotlatlona for a loca
tion on tha Island aid that three other
factories are assured for tha Island tn
tha Immediate future.
A force of workmen has started the
work of clearing off the timber and
extensive dredging work In Oregon
Slou!i la now under wtjr and will ba
hurried within the next two weeks by
the addition to the dredging foroe of
two big Government machines. The
new factories will Include tha ateel
works, a woodenwara works, a lumber
mill and a ahlagle mill, all of which
are said to ba certain for tha near
future.
Unique Arrangement Provided.
According to E. A. Dunlop, of tha
Vtoddard-Breuner Company, tha ateel
company has taken an option on a strip
of land extending- entirely across the
inland from north to south and near tha
VanoouTer ferry. Tha ' north water
front takea In lOuQ feet on the Colum
bia Rlrer while the aouth front takea
In a like amount on Oreeron Slough or
Columbia Harbor. Between the two
fronts, the company has optioned a
strip of land three-eighths of a mile in
length.
The Intentions ar to unload the raw
materials for the mill on. tha Columbia
River side, make It up In the long fac
tory and turn out the finished material
at the Oregon Slough side. To do this,
dorks will have to ba built on the two
water fronts.
Hayden Island furnishes nnusual ad
vantages fr factories, because of Its
location and' the facilities already on
the ground. Tha entire seven miles of
water front Is In easy reaoti of bath
the Columbia River and tha Willamette,
furnishing the best of advantage for
water transportation.- Tha Columbia
River brtdeje erosses the land and can
easily be tapped with a apur for steam

lines which feed Vancouver pasa across
the Island and tha Vancouver line of
the Portland Railway. Light A Power

Company and others, have atarted the
clearing of ths timber and tba build
in r of roadways. A camp haa been aa
tahllshed on tha island and three
streeta built from the streetcar line to
the Columbia River bridge. The island
is IS mllee In length and a half mile
wide, and la several feet above the
high-water Una of the Columbia. In one
part of tha center la a slough which
will ba drained and filled In with the
dredging of land from Oregon Slough
as development progresses. This work
will be comparatively easy.
The district about Harden Island Is
rapidly betng opened for manufactur
ing purposes. Directly across Oregon

there.
Tha slough Is about a quarter of a
mile wide and Is spanned by ths Co
lombia River bridge, which Is a "com

from tha Columbia I'-lver Into Oregon

WALNUTS BEAR IN YEAR

Carefully Selected Trees and Ap
proved Soil Essential Factors

HTlna English walnuts on a tree
planted tn tba Fjrrlng of 110 la Oia rec
ord that has been established on ina
highlands north of Sheridan. In Yam
hill County. Tha fact that .a walnut
tree has coma Into bearing when a
little over a year haa elapaed aftar
transplanting Is considered almost a
phenomenon among bortleuitureltsta. .
H. K Fargent. a Portland attorney.
planted to acres of walnuts of tha
Franquette variety last year and. now
Snda that nearly half of tba trees hava
begun to bear. Adjoining his tract are
II aerea of tha same variety owned by
the Willamette Orchard Company, a
corporation In which Mr. Sargent la
Interested. Other members or the onm
peny are instruotors In tha Oraaroa
Agricultural College. The. trees in thla
tract ware planted at the same time
and several nnte are to ba found on
many of them a.so.
"When the trees wore planted they
were only one-year nursery stock
grafted on s-vear-old black California
roots," said Mr. Eargant. "This waa
done on the recommendation of C L
Lewie, a member of the Oregon Agri
cultural College faculty. The treee la
each tract, are set iO feet apart, with
Lambert cherries as fillers. The Lam

the famous Willamette Valley cherries
and with proper pre-coollng and re
frigeration ran be put on the Eastern
market in splendid condition.
"Several thousand acres In the vi
cinity of Sheridan have been planted
to apples, cherries, pears and walnuts
la tha past few years. The wonderful
growth of the walnuts. It Is expected,
will turn the attention of grmrers In
that direction. In many districts wal
nut trees do' not begin to bear until
about the elxth year and it ts usually
eight or 10 years before there ia a
commercial crop.
ona of tha leading tourist and vacation
centers on the Padfio Coast.
Instead of a lone cottage, tha tour
ist activities now center around a group
of comfortable hotels, and whole streeta
of Pummer homes maintained by Port
land people and travelers from other
parts of tha country.
No'oce causa haa contributed toward,
making Seaside popular. Its peculiar
natural advantages have been the prin
cipal influences In making it the mag
net for thouaanda of people every year.
Protected on tha north by the Colum
bia River, which modifies the air cur
rants from the colder regions, and on
the south by Tillamook Head, which
breaks tha velocity of all winds from
that direction, tha beach in front of
Seaside is nearly always as calm aa an
inland lake. The temperature varies
only slightly throughout tha year, tha
average being not much In axoees of
that at tha California beaches- Within
a mile from tha city are mountain
streams that afford good fishing, and all
the seclusion of a rural retreat.
Modern I mp rov entente Made.
These natural advantages hava been
augmented "by numerous modern Im
provements, principal among whjoh are
tha railroad and. "many hotels. , Even
before tha railroad was built there was
much travel from Astoria to ths beaohee
at the moutk of tha Neoanloum River,
which flows through tha town of Sea
side. One of the Holladay stage lines
transported tourists to tha little vil
lage, and early settlers provided them
with meals. Bathing in tha surf waa aa
popular there then aa it is now.
When tha railroad came, modern
town grew up. Real estate value e In
creased and lots that had sold for $15
and $26. advanced to $500 and $1000.
Now aoma of the best property facing
tha board walk on tba ocean shore la
quoted at $100 and more per lot. Judge

Seaside, at HI speaka ramlniscsntly of
tha days when an acre of land in tha
vtolnlty of the modern town eftao waa
exchanged for a saddle horse or Its
equivalent la grain or other farm pro
duce. For many years tha railroad did not
recognise tha importance of tourist
travel, and did not provide aoootnmoda.
tlons for this class of patronage, but in
recent years special attention haa been
paid to the thousands who travel regu
larly between Portland and tha beach ea
and tha volume of bueiness to Seaside,
Gearhart. Holladay Beach. Columbia
Beach and other nearby points has In
