Wheat Belt Bumper Crops
This Year Are Assured.
"The Hampton Valley, In the south
eastern part of Crook County, will have
record-breaking crops this year," said
Sherman Montgomery, United States
Commissioner at Imperial, Or., yester
day. Mr. Montgomery Is In Portland
on a short business trip.
"The farmers who are cultivating
their lands according to approved dry
farming methods have excellent crops,
and while the amount of acreage In
cultivation is small on account of lack
of adequate transportation facilities
for shipping products, they are great
ly encouraged over the building of the
Joint railroads down the Malheur Can
yon Into Harney County and down
through the Hampton Valley. They be
lieve that this road will be completed
before the harvesting of another crop
and. hence, are preparing to put in
large amount of acreage next year.
Grain Crops Excellent.
"Wheat, barley, rye and oats do ex
ceptionally well. With railroad trans
portation there is no doubt that this
alley will become one of the most
prosperous wheat belts in Central Or
egon.
"Many homeseekers are taking ad
vantage of the offer made by the
Hampton Valley Development Associa
tion to locate desirable families free of
any charge whatever. In spite of oppo
sition from persons engaged -in the
homestead locating business for profit,
the association will continue to give
the poor man a chance by locating him
free of charge. ro part of Central Or
egon offers the homeseeker so many
advantages as does the territory trib
utary to Imperial. To the south and
west, within ten miles of Imperial, lies
150.000 acres as good sagebrush and
bunchgrass land as can be found In the
state. This land Is open to entry In
31'0-acre homesteads and is free from
rock and Is" easily cleared. Water Is
found at a shallow depth.

In popularity owing to its fire-resist-Ing
qualities, is wire glass, says an ex
change. It was discovered after the
San Francisco fire that a majority of
the buildings that were equipped with
wire glass windows withstood the
flames. Since that time great progress
has been made in the manufacture of
this product, and it is now much more
effective from this standpoint than it
was when first placed on the market.
Ordinarily glass breaks easily when
exposed to heat, thus opening spaces
through wnicn tne air can pass ana
fan the flames. Even though wire
glass breaks, the wire holds the pieces
In place, thus preventing the air from
rushing In. Its greatest effiicency has
been in keeping fires from spreading
after thev have started, and In th
business districts of large cities fire
men have been able to fight the flames
with far better results owing to the
fact that they have used the wire glass
windows as a shield to protect them
from the heat.
Another material that is gaining
favor for its fireproof qualities is an
artificial stone that Is extensively used
In the building of mantels. It is
composition that conforms to the char-
cteristics of natural stone, being
equally as durable. It Is readily
carved. Owing to the fact that It
made In any color desired, and of any
texture. It has a wider range of use

A recent Invention, for which many
advantages are claimed. Is an elastic
tiling that will soon be placed on the
market. With a surface greatly re
sembling linoleum, it presents, it is
claimed, the added advantage of elas
ticity that makes its use advantageous
where a sanitary and noiseless floor
Is desired. It Is made in a wide range
of colors, is nonabsorbent and fur

mainder of the basement will, be used
for the heating and ventilating plants.
There will be 115 rooms, all of un

tains a general hallway leading from
every room directly to the fire escape.
The stairways will he enclosed as an

WILL REVOLUTIONIZE
AMERICA'S COMMERCE
The PANAMA 0 ANAL-is the
topic of the universe.. No other
factor in the making of the world's :
commerce ever stimulated the capital of
big corporations, municipalities, nations
and states, as has the PANAMA CANAL.
Before the completion of the big ditch, BIL- v
LIONS OF DOLLARS will have been expended
for railroads, jetties, steamships, deep channels,
warehouses and industrial establishments, etc., to pro
vide for the diverted traffic of two hemispheres. Re
sources latent Tor centuries will be developed and will find
markets through the Panama Canal. The canal will make
the Pacific Coast the front door of America. The. few deep
water seaports in the Pacific Northwest will develop rap
idly. Oregon is on the eve of a remarkable era of EXPAN
SION. Investors who forsee OPPORTUNITIES are buying
lots in BRIGHTON the deep water seaport on Nehalem Bay.
BRIGHTON PREPARING
FOR THE INEVITABLE
BRIGHTON is preparing for the
inevitable trade expansion. The ex
tension of the present jetty at the en
trance of Nehalem Bay is assured. This
will deepen the present depth of 20 feet
over the bar sufficiently to allow big ocean
boats to enter and land at BRIGHTON just in
side the jetty. In preparation for the deep chan
nel, the LARGEST SAWMILL in Tillamook County
is now nearing completion at BRIGHTON. Billions
of feet of timber will be cut and shipped at BRIGHTON.
, This industry will employ a large number of men. It will
be followed by other plants in due time. There is no better
timber in the world than that in Tillamook County. Ar
rangements have already been made to carry lumber to
California points. The mill is being rushed, the logs are
on the ground, and soon the buzz of the big saws will
be heard. A postoffice is now established at BRIGHTON.
-THE COMING SEAPORT ON NEHALEM BAY-
BRIGHTON is on the new P. R. & N. Railroad at the entrance of Nehalem Bay. A large force of men
with donkey engines and horses are clearing the ground and grading streets. The time to buy lots in
a growing city is before the improvements are completed. Prices of lots will advance rapidly.
In addition to the commercial advantages, residents are close to the beaches. The finest beaches in the
Pacific Northwest are only one mile to the south and immediately across the channel. There is a beauti
ful view of bay, mountains and ocean from BRIGHTON. Secure a few lots before the advance. Return
ticket, good all Summer, fare $4. Sunday to Monday ticket, $3. Arrange to visit BRIGHTON this week.

GRESHAM FARMERS AII IX
SOLVING HIGH LIVIXG COST.
Agreement Made to Ship to Co-operative
Supply House Products for
Distribution to Csers.
Two hundred and fifty farmers of
the Gresham district have Joined with
the Co-Operative Supply-House, an or
ganization recently formed In Portland,
in what they declare will prove a
strong factor in reducing the higrh cost
of living for the residents oi Portland.
As members of the Gresham Farm
ers' Equity Market, the farmers have
agreed to ship all their products to the
f!n-Onerative Supply-House for "d!s
trihntion directly to consumers. The
Co-Operatlve Company has bound itself
to protect the producers, out at me
same time it expects to place the
products into the hands of the con-
numers at from 40 to 60 per cent below
prices that have been charged for f ood
otiiffa in Portland. A contract was
slimed by the Gresham Farmers'
Equity Market and the Co-operative
Supply-House last week to continue In
effect one year.
By this arrangement the farmers
feel reasonably sure that they will be
able to receive from B0 to 100 per cent
more for their products than they
have been eetting in the past. The
dairv Interests of the Gresham dis
trict will turn over the entire product
to the organization for distribution in
Portland.
"We have not been getting a square
deal for our products," said Secretary
Lvman. of the Gresham Farmers'
Equity Market, at a recent meeting
held by . the farmers. "Our agreement
with the co-operative house will bring
about a big step forward in the mar
keting of our products in Portland.
The farmers will get the full benefit
nf the nriees. All that will De ce
ducted will be the freight charges and
the net cost of distribution by tne co
operative house. This plan will mean
much for us and at the- same time it
will save Portland consumers immense
sums of money annually. If it had
not been for the mail-order houses and
supply, houses in this country, the
American farmers would have become
hnnlinint Inns aaro.
H. Irby Knox, vice-president of the

lished in all the producing centers in
the state as soon as possible. There

Stock Exchange members as the ar

say, a hygiene expert, to make ths
Scotch kilt popular for Summer wear
In the city. The suggestion has caused
infinite hilarity.
The kilt, contends Mr. Ramsay, la
ornamental and hygienic, whereat
man's present attire has reached ths
acme of ugliness. If the Stock Ex-

not only be an attraction, but the best
investment ever had to deal with.
As for women's attire, he says it la
l mountainous conglomeration of ev
ery conceivable form of eccentricity, and
'if such a burden as women wear were
placed on the head of the lower ani
mals, it is not at all Improbable that
we should soon find somo humane so
