'present site of the Washington hotel, lone known ' as the most picturesque acenle hotel In the northwest James A. ' Moore has let the contract for rasing the nfll and by May 1 the big hostelry will be Invaded by an army of wreckers. Work will first start at Second avenue ftnd Btewart street. . ' v . ' ' ' Recent increases In real estate values n Second street, north of pike street, have caused the coming demolition of 'the Washington hotel and the tearing down of the great hill upon which It stands. James X Moore, the owner of the hotel, wilt reap an immense fortune by destroying hs large hostelry and Hitting down the hill to the grade of , Second avenue. In many plaoea the cut will be feet, .and the city engineer's department has figured out mat f.vtt. 00 eublo feet of earth will have to be excavated. . ' ' Wtn Benefit Many. ,-tot only will Moore's act of destruc tion bring a fortune to himself, but It means large fortunes for property-owners within five blocks of the hotel.- The tearing down of the hotel will open up a large . retail and residential district that in the past has been cut off by the huge mass of earth towering In the alt with the hotel on Its -summit. ' . -' A , a result Moore's, announcement made some few weeks ago that he would tear down his hotel and the hill at his own expense was received with' Joy by the city and property-owner. In . the vicinity. -Moore has - agreed to tear down the hill bounded on the weet by Second avenue, on the east by Fourth avenue , and on the south and north by Stewart and Virginia streets... respect ively... Moore has agreed to tear down the entire hill and dedicate to the city free of cost a 00-foot atrip for the ex tension of Third avenue. - Moore has also agreed to pay his assessment for the Improvement work that will be done on Fourth avenue.' Thir city In return pays his assessment for the regradlng of Virginia street, which will amount to-17.000. ' One dollar dam ages will - be allowed, him In ' the - con demnation proceedings for the. Improve ment of Third avenue north of .Virginia street. - The allowance of this nominal sum saves Moore under the law from being taxed anything for the benefits his property will derive from the Im provement Of Third avenue north from Virginia street. -..:.,ir- vropoaal Zs Aooepted.

' These regulations covered every phase of hygiente living. They -were especially etrtct In regard to feed. "The origin of strength In the human body Is good food." eeld theee instruc tions to the conquering Japanese army. And thle la Just as true in America as it im In Japan. "The origin-of strength In the human body Is good food." . 2 " In this country we have the Ideal good food.- It im the food which glvee ,to the body and uraln perfect strength and per fect health.

The descriptions were all right . so far as they have gone, but they have not gone far enough. The traveler. through cen tral Oregon , finds . that hs soil will grow crops of grain. If aherp were kept off the wild lands would support largo growths of bunch grass that . Is excellent -pasturage, for all ' domostlo animals,' and which if eared for In the usual manner, of hay. farming could, be cut annually In quantities sufficient' to fill all the haymows. None . of these latter practices are In vogue. , .,' Country How to Farming. The - lands - have ' been denuded by sheep, the country is new to farming, and the mass of the people now in. It have been living . there only two or three years. They are this year break ing thousands of acres of virgin plain and sowing wheat. Here and there a settler has, with shovel, dynamite and rude windless, punctured the .. earth through alternating strata of volcanic aah and rock to a depth of '100 feet and secured an Inexhauatiblo well of good water, which he la laboriously drawing to the surface by means of a rope and a bucket. The windmill agent haa not yet arrived. All - Improvements are In - their In fancy. The modern method of drilling a well, putting in casing and surmount ing It with a wind pump and galvanised iron tank has not been adopted. .When It Is there will be no lack of water In central Oregon. - These Improvements have not been made because the settlers are not quite roadyr-tt"taks a good deal of money to drill deep well a build tanks and pipe water to houser.bem and pastnro. as they do down in Iowa after to - years of - progress and - -preparation for these conveniences. Central Oregon farmer are Investing their capital in small houses, farming outfits, first-class horses and barbed wire, and are building fences with juni per pnets. Juniper Is of the cedar fam ily. It la said to be the longret lived fence post known to tho civilised world. Juniper trees grow In abundance for fencing and fuel all over central Ore gon. Many miles of ftnees are being built, new roads opened, and aid. pralrto roads eat off by barbed wire. . - ' Xrel, Bowly-Brokea - You travel miles through Crook coun ty, and so on either side of the road level farms of 1(0 acres, newly broken by tho plow and seeded fov tho first time with wheat, oats or barley. These plains occur in various sections of cen tral Oregon. The term "central Ore gon' Is by no means restricted to Crook county, although that county contains 7.750 square mllesi Rhode Island has I0O square miles. ' ' ' ' Too central Oregon farmer sows only half a bushel of wheat to the acre, as against one and a half to two bushels sown by the Nebraska or Dakota farm er. Tho Crook . county man harvest from his alleged arid land 10 to 11 bushels ef wheat to the acre, without water. The crop has run to IS bushels, but that much Is not expected, nor Is It likely to happen ' with' any degree of regularity until tho character ef the climate changes to something more moist, as Is predicted by those who have watched tho evolution, of soli and rainfall hi semi-arfd regions where cul tivation and vegetation are Introduced and promoted from year to year. It , is, predicted by settler that the crop conditions will steadily Improve antll central Oregon will become fruit ful whether Irrigated or not. aad wtll attract a normal amount . ef rainfall during tho summer season. This pre diction has substantial support In the proved theory ef Irrigation experts, who havo solemnly testified . that - after" a few years of cultivation and production ef empa lit a previously arid belt brought n.ider Irrigation tho rains grad ually Increaeo In frequency until the annual precipitation. Is doubled. . - Fertlaad Organist m fleerlel Dasafea tm The JesrnsLr , Whitman College Waihr Weitie, Wash.. April 11.

Moor declares his offer to the city was dictated purely by business motives. - The Inoreaae In the value of hla holdings- will reach close to 11,000,000. The boom that is certain to follow In real estate In the vicinity will make the land now covered by tho hill among the most valuable In the city for retail business. ? The Washington hotel was computed In 180 by the Denny Hotel company. It was then, known as the Denny hotel. The site it occupied waa the most sight ly in the city and a bistorio spot from the fact that It was used as a signal station during ths early Indian wara For a decade after Its completion- It waa involved In litigation. Cornell univer. slty paid 130,000 towards Its construc tion, all of which waa lost In the many liens placed upon the hotel. For II years after Its. completlon.lt remained unoccupied. James A. Moore waa finally Induced to open lt.v Thousands of dollars were spent n making It fit for occupancy. : It was opened In time for the reception of President Roosevelt tn 10I. Simultaneously with the commence ment of work on the excavation of the hill work will be begun on a new theatre on the western side, near Stewart street; which Moore wtll erect for John Cort. . , , BUYS OLD DUSTER UHKHOl'llHGLY Morton I.
