In the opinion of Jams Dryden. a
member of the faculty of the Oregon
agricultural College, the Willamette
Valley Is an Ideal location for poultry
-alslng and will become In a few years
a of the Important poultry producing
ctloni of the entire country. In dlS'
usslng the situation In Western Ore
gon In an article published recently.
Professor Dry den said:
"lurlnK the past year there has been
very sattnrartory development of the
oultry industry In Oregon. I Judge
his chiefly from the correspondence
that comes to the college and expert
-neat station. I think I am safe la
saying- that the number of letters re-
elved by the department Of poultry
husbandry has been double the jurn
Mr received In the previous year. Let
ters come to me about every day la
which the writer says 'I am going Into
the poultry business, and they come
rom every county In the state.

"There has also been a large corre
spondence with people In the Eastern
late- who are thinking of locating In
regon and going Into the business of
oultry. raising to a greater or less ex
ent. If every correspondent who said
le Intended tr come to Oregon and en
gage In poultry raising has followed
ip his Intention and located here. It
nould mean a considerable addition to
he poultry production of the state In
as near future.
"But the chief Increase In produo
ion comes from people already located
ere. who are either starting In the
susiness or increasing the size of their
locka Nor should It be forgotten that
he farmers are studying better meth
ds of poultry. keeping. They are be
ginning to realize that to get results
rom the flock It must be given Intelli
gent care. Just as murh as. If not more.
nan any other branch of rural Indus-
A large part of my correspondence
owes from the city of Portland. This
ndiratea that city people are either
ttrmptlng to solve the shortage In
rrsh earns on the back lot. or are go
ng to break loose from the city and
et back to the farm. Then the subur-
an residents of the city, with an acre
r two. are finding In a flock of poul-
ry a pretty sure means of adding to
heir Income, and at the same time glr-
ng them' a little taste of rural pur-
ulu. If anyone should doubt this, let
lm take a trolley ride out 10 or 20
titles from the city, and he will very
Ikely hear more talk about chickens on
he car than about any other subject
xcept the weather.
Dlatrtrt Adapted, te ladaarry.
'After studying the situation over
arefully. I believe, so far as Winter
gg produqalon la concerned. It Is an
aeier- proposition to get eggs In the
Willamette Valley than It la In the
Eastern states, where snow covers the
ground for two or three months of the
ear. With proper housing or shelter
sd dry scratching sheds. It Is possible
get a good egg yield In w Inter In

"Of course. It Isn't all In the climate.

rhe main factor, after all. Is the hen
erself. Too can't get blood out of a
urnlp. any more than you can get eggs
nit of some hens.
"Ton can't pull down the sun or the
tars and Stripes, nor can you pull
own the eggs. It Is a question very
argely of tue hen herself, and It Is
-lot the fault of the hen very often
hat she does not lay. It la the fault
f her parents or grandparents. In the
same yard In which we secured the
ecord of S. another hen of the same
reed and with the same care produced
another J", both good-looking bens.
Is a question of breeding.
"It seems to me that the only method
o make rapid progress la for the farro-
rs of each state to co-operate In de
veloping strains or breeds of fowls of
lgh productive qualities. If the farm-
rs would set themselves earnestly to
reeding from their best layers and dle-
ardlng the poor. In a few years I be-
leve there would be a tremendous In-
rease In the poultry products. There
s practically only one way to do It.
and that Is to go after the Individual

tnd the only way to discover the good
ayers Is to keep a record of each hen

Wlllamlna. Ask Better Service.
SALEM. Or, Jan. II. (Special.) A
delegation of citizens from Wlllamlna
appeared before the State Railroad
Commission yesterday relative to ths
complaint as to the Sheridan Wlllam
lna road. The citizens are desirous of
having a suitable station and declare
that the track is In unsuitable and un
safe condition and should be repaired.
They also wish the regular evening
train, which waa discontinued some
time ago, placed back en the road as
a carrier for passengers.
When these fearful Elements of Filth get to
gether in a bunch, you can understand what sort of at'
mosphere you've been living in. These are the occupants of every building where garbaga
and refuse collect. They don't pay any rent. On the contrary they collect a terrible toll.
When the KEWANEE GARBAGE BURNER comes
in these awful things go out. The burner leaves them no provocation to stay. It burnsi
all waste vegetable matter before it can ferment and develop into garbage. It turns the waste matter into fuel and
not a solitary odor arises from'the burning filth. It leaves your entire premises clean and sweet and healthfuL
Don't you know in your heart that in a mighty short time
every Board of Health in America will compel the use of these garbage burners in every
building in the land? Don't you know that a campaign against the garbage can will beat your campaigns for pure
foods and against patent medicines a whole city block i Think of tho millions of children in America who today ara
at the mercy of the filthy garbage can and the rats and mice and flies it draws and holds.
The KEWANEE GARBAGE BURNER is the only
successful device in existence that will destroy garbage while it is wet burn it without
odor turn it into fuel and make it reduce the size of your coal bills. The burner is built of the same splendid
olid steel plate of which Kewanee Firebox Boilers are constructed, and will outlast any building in which it is
placed. It is connected with your hot water and the burning refuse and garbage keeps the tank hot.

DOUBLE TRACK URGED
SEVENTH - STREET PROPERTY
OWNERS SEEK RECOGXITIOX.
Improvement Plans Also Call for
Widening lower Part ot Avenue
From 60 to 80 Feet.
The development of Seventh street
within the past year Indicates that it
will eventually become one of the prin
cipal thoroughfares running; north and
south In the business district of the
city There was expended last year a
larg-e sum In new buildings on this
street, while this year It Is believed
that Seventh-street Improvements will
be even much more extensive.
Two propositions, each of which is
considered Important to the develop
ment of the street, are now before
property owners. One of the projects
Is to extend the width of the street
from 60 to 80 feet between Burnside
street and Hoyt street. It Is announced
that virtually all property owners on
this street are In favor of the move
ment. News was received last week
that the Government would not object
to the plan of taking a strip ten feet
wide from In front of the new Post
office site and the Custom-house. With
this feature of the Improvement plans
settled. It Is expected that definite ac.
tion will be taken soon towards widen
ing the street.
The other proposition desired by ths
property owners is the adoption of a
franchise providing for a double-track
carllne up Seventh street as far south
as Jefferson street. The question was
before the City Council last week., By
unanimous vote of the street commit
tee It was decided to require the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany to ae-ept the franchise calling
for a double-track line up Seventh te
Jefferson street.
BRIDGES AID DISTRICT
APARTMENT-HOUSE AND BUSI
NESS CENTER TO DEVELOP.
About SO Blocks Between New Rail
road and Broadway Spans In
cluded In Activity.
That the district on the East Side
between the new railroad bridge and
the new Broadway bridge Is destined to
become an Important business and
apartment-house center, is the belief of
many realty brokers and property
owners. The railroad bridge approaches
the East 8ide at Oregon and Larrabee
streets, while the Broadway bridge la
In direct line with Broadway street.
All of the area Included between Lar
rabee street and the waterfront and be
tween the two bridge streets contains
about 60 full blocks. With the excep
tion of some business buildings on
Holladay avenue near the approach of
the old Steel bridge, the present Im
provements In this district consist of
dwellings and flats. - There are sev
eral full blocks which are vacant and
never have been Improved.

When the two bridges are completed
and a large part of the car service
covering the north East Side Is diverted
from the Burnside streetcar route. It Is
pointed out that this district will be
directly benefited by the change.
There are several plans under con
sideration for the Improvement of the
district in the way of modern business
buildings, apartment-houses and flats.
