With the completion of the Central
Oregon railroad In eight and the ap
proach of the Fall rolontst rates on
the transcontinental lines, development
asaln mmi to be In the air In the
Interior portion of tbe elate. While
perhaps less attention la being directed
toward the development of the town
'than previously was the case, a non
nut la on foot for the proper utilisa
tion and settlement or the agricultural
area a.
Notable In thla newer movement ta
the recent action, primarily taken by
the I'ulon Stock Yard of Portland,
toward the encouragement of the hog
ralstng Industry In the Interior and
elsewhere In the atate.
The Interest aroused by the state
ments of the packers. In which they
dwelt upon the vital necessity of de
veloping; this Industry. Is bemmlnf ap
parent In the country along the new
Deschutes railroads.
HoB-Halelear Eecewrased.
It will be remembered that aa an en
couragement to the hog-ralalng In
dustry the Portland packers recently
offered to purchase In the Middle West
carload lota of fine hom and to deliver
them to Oregon ranchers at cost. Tak
Ins; a second step alons; the construc
tive lines snga-ested by this offer. C
R Hudson, of the First National Bank
of Bend, haa made an offer to advance
money to the farmers for the purchase
of these hogs, and to carry them on
loans for a year. While the Bend
banker's offer haa but Just been made.
It haa aroused a wide-spread Intereat
among the ranchers. Many are plaa
mnff to take advantaae of the oppor
tunity. A direct reault will be a nota
ble Increase In te hog-ralalng of the
Interior country and an enlargement of
the buying field for the Portland
stock rards and markets.
Another factor that promlsea much
toward the development of the country
i in establishment of motor truck
fre'-hting lines from Bend. Several
Portland men. experts In the motor
truck Held, have been loo kins; over the
P'teslMHtte. and have declared their
irten.n of Installing lines aa soon aa
the railroads are completed to Bend.
It Is practically assured that one or
more auto truck lines will be operated
between Bend and Burna. One Port
land man has stated that he will place j
four trucks on the run. Other lines
mar be established, to the southern
rountry. probably including service to
Lakevlew and Paisley. It Is expected
:hat a considerable trafflo will be de
veloped In both directions. Southward
the trucks will be loaded with mer
chandise from Tortland to the Inter
ior merchants, and returning will
rry wool, farm products, hide and
Isasrevrsaeat Flame l aser Way.
Preparatlona are well under way at
Bend for the entertainment of the
visitors who. It Is expected, will be on
hand at the time of the completion of
the railroad, probably late In October.
In connection with thla an Interesting
plan la on foot at Bend for the con
struction of a etone depot. The Oregon
Trunk Railway baa agreed to erect a
tone structure. by 10 feet, provided
the town furnishes the material.
The Bend Commercial dub haa
screed to eecore the stone and place
It on the ground, so that now the ton
structren of a substantial station Is
assured.
In addition to the plans for tbe de
velopment of the Interior part of tbe
state, the Trl-County Development
league and the Portland Commercial
Club are working out a programme for
the introduction of modern farming
Ideas In the countlea of Morrow,
Sherman and Gilliam. Ffforts will be
made to titvert settlers Into tlrat tier
of Columbia River counties during tbe
coming year. I'ry farming methods will
be urged and also special attention
win be given to hog-ralstng. .

I CANAL BENEFITS BIG
IMMEDIATE PREPARATIONS BY
PORTLAND CRGED.
Lack of Proper Interest in Immense
Shipping; of Future Is Snb
lect of Criticism,
That Portland and California seaport
cities will be benefited equally by the
Panama Canal ' Is the belief of realty
brokers, but unless the cltlxens and
property owners begin Immediately to
prepare for tbe big business which will
be launched with the opening of the
canal in 1914. It Is pointed Q.ut that
Portland may lose the commercial pres
tige that It now possesses.
"Portland had a chance to get as
much cf tbe Alaska trade as Seattle,
but she failed to grasp It. and the re
sult was that the Northern city profit
ed by many millions of dollars," said
. J. Daly, a realty broker who haa
lust returned from a trip to California.
"Portland received little or nothing
from the wealth of Alaska, but It la net
too late yet to develop big trade rela
tione with the Far North.
"Now another much bigger oppor
tunity presents Itself to Portland. Will
the people here show the same general
apathy towards the Panama Canal as
the did to Alaska? We hear nothing
among the property ownera and big
Interests of the city relative to prep
aratlona for the great shipping busi
ness that will be built up between the
Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. The cities
of California realize what the canal
will mean to them. They are not only
talking It all the time but they are al
ready laying plans to secure as much
of the new trade aa they possibly can.
"The cities of San Diego, Los An
geles and Ban Francisco are not asleep
over the matter. All of the California
cities realize that Portland Is forging
ahead at a rapid rate now. and It would
pleaae them to see this city fall to re
ceive benefits from the immense ship
ping business from the canal. It Is
up to the people of Portland to bend
every effort right now to take Its share
of the future shipping business of the
Paolflo Coast
"It is to be hoped that proper ship
ping arrangements will be made be
tween Portland with tbe big steamship
companies now being organized on the
Atlantlo Coast to take car of the ca
nal shipping business."

HOOD RIVER! Or Sept
(SpeclaL)--By refusing to sign an or

warrants for 132,441 In payment for -the r
water system of the Pacific Power
Light Company, against which a Jury .
last week in a condemnation suit begun

Mayor, has clashed with tha City Coun.N

ordinance and who say they will pass--the
ordinance over his veto. Mayor ?
Hartwig Insists that even then he will"
refuse to sign the warrants.
By virtue of an agreement reached
before tbe condemnation suit waa be

-OiiYMPIA. Wash., Sept 16. (Spe-
oial.) H. B. Dewey, State Superin
tendent of Publlo Instruction, has com- .;
pleted the gathering of statistics whiob
show that during the last year In -Washington
the school districts of the
state have reduced the warrant Indebt
edness from 12,87S,40 to 12,809,876, r
by more than 164,000. He attributes ;
this deorease, which has been steady
since 1908, to the fact that the law now'
requires the directors of school dis-
tricts to make an annual estimate of
the expenses, to levy a tax sufficient to
meet the same and then not-to exceed
this amount - . ; f r - - -
Superintendent Dewey Is anxious to
have all the schooj districts retire their '
outstanding warrants. These 'increased,
from 1900, when they were 1910,595, to
a total of 13,212,856 In 1908. Since then
