MAN A BOOSTER
Sys Madras Country" Contains
Best Inducements for Home
seeker and Investor
The Pioneer was favored with
a call Wednesday by C. F. Owen
of Tacoma, Wsshington, who has
recently become interpsrprl in tlm
new townsite of Vanora. Mr.
uwen was state inspector of
mines of the state of Washing
ton for eight years and was also
one of the organizers of the
Washington Fidelity Co., which
platted Northeast Tacoma. Pri
or to his official position as in
spector of mines he was eneacred
in the mercantile business. Mr.
Owen is vgrertly enthused over
the resources aifti opportunities
in Central Oregon, and in speak
ing along this line he says:
After investigating Central
Oregon to a considerable extent.
I am surprised at its undeveloped
resources and the opportunity
ottered the homeseeker and the
investor. It can be truthfully
said that this section offers richer
prospects for profitable invest
ment than any other state or sec
tion in the Union.
"The wealth of undeveloped
resources in the way of forests,
streams and lakes for irrigation
and water power, and the im
mense " acreage vof farm, fruit
and grazing lan"ds are now within
tne reacnkot ail at a small price
per acre and liberal terms. The
coming of the Hill and Harriman
railroads is sure to develop this
country at a great rapidity and
there is no doubt that realty val
ues will increase 200 to 300 per
cent within the next five years.
' 'There are a number of new
towns being platted and develop
ing rapidly on the railway lines
being constructed into Central
Oregon, and in my opinion one
of' the best of these is Madras,
with a population of about 700,
located in the center of the great
belt of Central Oregon. Among
the towns in the interior which
has a very bright future is Van
ora, 12 rpiles west of here on the
Oregon Trunk Line and Des
chutes river. This place has
tributary to it a portion of the
Agency Plains and, not to be
overlooked, 14 townships of tim
ber, and the early prospect of
the development of water power.
After my investigations I con
sider that either of the above lo
calities offer the best induce
ments for a permanent income to
the investor, business establish
ment or homeseeker. "
MORE RAILWAYS
FOR OREGON
But two of the big Hill construction
projects In Oregon go on the list for
heavy work during 1911. Extension of
the Oregon Trunk from Bend to Klam
ath Falls, building on the proposed line
from a point near Bend into Harney
Valley, extension of the Pacific & East
erri from Butte Falls across the Cas
cade range to a connection with the
Oregon Trunk; and a supposed east
west line across the State are to be
held in obeyance for the present at
least. The two favored projects will
be he United Railway line, which will
be completed from its present terminus
to Tillamook as fast as the work can
be done economically, and the Oregon
RiArfe to be built from Salem to Eu-
gene-ln 1911' .
The summary p work wwKfclven out
this morning by John P. Stevens, chief
of the Hill forces In thla field, on his
return to Portland from Chicago nnd
the East, where he has been In con
sultation with the heads of the system.
Mr. Stevens says he expects the Ore
gon Trunk to be regularly operating
into Madras by February 10, and it will
be opened between Madras and Bend as
soon as the big Crooked River steel
span shall be ready for tracks. While
in the East on this trip Mr. Stevens let
contracts for the steel of the Columbia
River bridge at Celilo, for which the
masonry is being placed and also for the
Crooked River bridge, where the foun
dations will be rushed to completion as
soon as practicable. Both these bridges
are remarkable in railway engineering,
the Columbia structure spanning the
great river at its most picturesque and
turbulent point, where the Spring floods
raise the water level to enormous
neigms. At urooued Kiver there will
be a sincle snan ncrosa.thp chnnm ,f
of 300 feet length, and stnndlncr R9t
feet above the bed of the stream -below.
The Missouri Vnlllov Rrid
of Leavenworth, Kan., was given the
contract for the steel of both bridges,
while Bntea & Bop-era. nf f!Mr nrrrt tin 11
do the masonry for the Crooked kiver
structure, and forter Bros, are laying
the foundations for the Columbia
bridge.

LESSON FROM BIG STORES,
Appearances Count For Much on Bal
ance Sheet of Success or Failure.
Magnets In Nicely Arranged Show
Windows and Stock.
A little paragraph in one of the bus
iness prints attracted the attention of
the writer. It expressed much so
tersely and so happily. It so neatly
embodied a vital thought In ,a few
words, It was such a compact sympo
sium of a business sermon, that it
seemed well to prolong Its life and send
It on another round of usefulness:
"A nicely arranged stock, an orderly
store and u clean sidewalk are induce
ments to trade and are signs of a
growing business. If small business
places wish to grow they should notice
how much attention large stores give
to these things."
Why not cut that out, paste It on
your desk, read It every day and act
upon Its suggestions?,
Men are careless creatures, women
say. lnasmucu as tuey are incunea 10
lose sight of the value of appearances,
and many allow their persons and es
tablishments to run down to actual un
tidiness. The gentler sex know full well the
value of appearances, and tbeyworii
that knowledge to the limit ' Woman,
made beautiful and charming by in
finite care in dressing, keeps helpless
man ever coming her way, willing and
anxious to offer self and fortune a
thrall to her clever wit
Get wise to the fact that appear
ances cut a large figure in the calcu
lations of every man and resolve to
spare no pains to have your store pre
sent a good appearance. This does not
mean that It need be striking or gar
ish or anything of that kind. Clean
liness, freedom from dust, freshness
of paint, will Incline the thoughts of
every passerby kindly to your place.
Then the shining glass, the attrac
tive show window, the artistic ar
rangement of your stock, are magnets
to attrack folks Inside and to Inlltienco
sales when once there.
Don't let these Ideas knock In vain
upon the portals of your brain and
then forget about them us you turn to
something else. Open the door of your
ego, let in the thought talk with It on
the subject, realize Its Importance, re
flect that successful men pay much
heed to these things and then do what
seems good In your eyes. Implement

Poultry Pointers.
Sell the young cockerels that are not
needed for breedlug stock and saVo
the food that they will consume.
Do not expect the kcnstbat have
been faithful layers during the sum
mer to keep this up nil winter. Vou
may bo disappointed if you do.
Fresh, pure drinking water frequent
ly changed Is indispensable to poultry
health and comfort. The fowls do not
enjoy stale drinking water any bettor
than humans do.
Clover makes a splendid winter pas
ture for all kinds of fowls. Plant
crimson clover iu the orchard and let
the fowls have access to It. It will
build up the orchard soli and furnish
nutritious feed for the fowls.
For nu autumn and winter feed for
poultry cabbage Is well liked. This is
hung up so the fowls can Just reach
it. Large sugar beets are also good.
These are chopped up Due or cut open
or sometimes crushed. Common field
turnips are also good.
If it is desired to fatten turkeys for
market begin to Increase the rations
gradually. .Never attempt to fatten
birds which In successive weighings
show a loss of weight. Overfeeding
does not cause blackhead, but It does
frequently cause the sudden death of
birds In which blackhead Is present.
