YAKIMA SEEKS
THE TRADE OF
: NEW COUNTRY
Thousands Will Be Sient by
Eesidents of Big River
Empire.
(Special Northwest Correspondence.)
North Yakima, Wash., Nov. 26. North
Yakima wants the rich trade of the
great country which is being opened
along the Columbia river between Ken
newick and White Bluffs, and to get it
the business men are urged to build a
highway between this city and White
Bluffs. President W. L. Steinweg of
the First National bank of this city has
jjust returned from a trip of Inspection
and is alarmed that Die great trade that
will be developed will go to Walla Walla
Instead of coming here,
"There are 40 individual power plants
In operation for irrigation along that
section of the Columbia river," says Mr.
fiteinweg, "in addition to the two big
enterprises at White Bluffs and the
Han ford project
"At one place in Franklin county a
man named Nagle, whose wife la super
intendent of schools for- Franklin coun
ty, has a plant which irrigates some 80
acres. This year he cjnared up )4,206
In melons, vegetables and other produce
grown on his property. All along the
river there were piles of baled hay
awaiting shipment. Their season is
earlier than ours and also lasts longer.
That White Bluffs-Hanford country Is a
freat empire; it is to undergo wonder
ul development and its purchasing
power, which is now of considerable
proportions, will become enormous.
"The people, and 1 talked to many
Of them, are well inclined toward North
Yakima, but under present conditions
It ia easier for them to purchase at
Walla Walla. I am convinced that we,
here, should at once take steps to see
that we procure and retain their trade.
One way to accomplish this end is by
a proper roadway between North Yaki
ma and White Bluffs and Hartford.
County Engineer Mclntyre has been over
tha road and I understand from him
that an expenditure of f 500 or $600 will
?ut It , in excellent condition. I can
hink of no better Investment. We must
not allow that great country to develop
away from us.
"1 think We -should undertake at once
the construction of a passable highway
and after that the merchants here
should organize a cross country trip to
that section to show the feasibility of
the highway. A party could be got up
here to make the trip across In auto
mobiles. I would gladly take my ma
chine and carry three or four along and
1 know others would do the same. The
people of those districts could be visltej
and also the many settlers wKo are to
, be found between this city and the
thriving towns on the Columbia.
"There can be no differences of opin
ion as to the country and what the
years have in atore for that portion of
Washington and everybody who makes
an inspection must come to that con-
elusion."

Long Closed Resume
Operations.
(Special Northwest Correspondence.)
Eugene, Or., Nov. 25. While Lane
county was In a prosperous condition
generally, all through the recent finan
cial depression and preceding the presi
dential election, since he election pros
perity has become all the more appar
ent. Already sawmills, which were com
pelled to close down when the panic
came, are resuming operations and
many others are clearing up their yards
and plants, preparatory to resumption.
The Booth-Kelly Lumber company, per
haps the greatest prosperity producing
concern in the country, is operating
three of its big mills adjacent to
Eugene ten hours a day, and is con
templating in the near future putting
on night shifts at each of the plants.
It has Just completed a five mile stan
dard gauge logging railway, extending
from the terminus of the Mohawk
branch of the Southern Pacific company
at Wendling up into the tall timber,
and has equipped it with the latest log
ging locomotives and log cars. The
company owns vast tracls of timber
land above Wendling and the logs from
there will be hauled over this new rail
road to the mill at Wendling and on
down the Mohawk branch to the mill
at Springfield.
While there has been great building
activity in Eugene and other cities of
the county, all year, there are prospects
for increased activity along this line
from now on. There have been eight
business blocks completed in Eugene
since the first of the year, included
among them being a five story building
erected by the local lodge of Odd Fel
lows. A three story brick, a two story
brick and a two story concrete block
are in course of erection, making a to
tal of 11 for the year. Besides these,
a six story hotel building is arranged
for, the work to begin early in the
spring, and there are several other
blocks of more or leas Importance con
templated for next year.. Eugene and
Lane county have never before seen
a more prosperous year than the pres
ent and Indications are that next year
will be even more prosperous.

NORMAL AFTER
Election Result Is Not the
Reason for Morrow's
Prosperity.
(Special Northwest Correspondence.)
Heppner, Or., Nov. 25. The result of
the presidential election had very lit
tle, if any, noticeable effect on condi
tions In this section. Although last
fall's panic, and the subsequent depre
ciation in sheep and wool values were
keenly felt, conditions have been grad
ually improving for some months.
While a majority of the sheen-men are
Republicans from the tariff standpoint
a continueo improvement or tne con
ditions of the sheep-raising industry
was generally expected, regardless of
the result of the election, and many
new ventures had been made in that
line, previous to the election.
The unusually dry season combined
with a comparatively smaller acreage
resulted in a considerable decrease In
the grain yield this year, hut a much
larger acreage has been sown this fall,
than ever before, at this season of the
year. This has much more to do to
ward restoring confidence of the farm
er, merchant, banker, blacksmith, car
penter, etc., than the mere result of
any election.
Carpenter Are In Demand.
There has been more than the usual
amount of building done the past sea
son, which In continuing at about the
same rate. Local carpenters have had
all they can do, in fact have had work,
ahead for several months past, and it
is believed a safe assertion, that, not
one building is in course of construc
tion or even contemplated, that would
not have been, had Bryan been elected
president.
Business generally has not been so
good aa last year, but that was an
exceptional yaar from a business stand
point. While it is possible that No
vember's business may exceed that of
the same month, it will be due largely
to the, fact that business dropped off
very suddenly last November . and not
that Taft's election has caused any
considerable increase this year.

(Special Northwest Correspondence.)

northwest with a view of developing the
fruit growing industry state that there
is no portion of the Pacific slope where
conditions are so conducive to the
growth and production of large quanti
ties of line commercial rruit as m tne
valleys surrounding Oakland. These
men, to. show their faith, have invested
heavily in this section. .
The climatic conditions and geo
graphical setting of this territory are
such that all kinds of moderate climate
fruit develops such fine flavor, high
color and size that it always commands
the highest prices on eastern and Kuro
pean markets. Apples, pears, prunes,
Ceaches, plums, strawberries, logan
erries and all bush fruits never fall to
mature large crops. From $200 to $60M
per acre Is a moderate estimate of the
annual returns from orchards In this lo
cality, and frequently good orchards re
turn as high as $1,000 per acre.
The production of all kinds of fruit
has been tested, those which have
proven to be adapted to local conditions
have been selected, and the experimental
stage has paused. Orcharding has been
carried on In this vicinity for a decade
or two, but only within the last few
years has the Industry been scientifically
handled. And that the application of
twentieth century methods is proving a
result getter Is Indicated by the almost
fabulous returns secured by growers.
Many inquiries are received regarding
the cost of planting and maintaining
orchards. No definite figures can be
given, but the . following Is approxi
mately what it will cost to set out
apple orchards in this locality, provided
the land Is in a fair state of cultiva

The farmer now will have to produce

He will have electric power from the

John Woodruff's Where
abouts Unknown to Rel

(Special Dispatch te Tbe JonraaLI
The Dalles, Or., Nov, 29. The old
hermit, John Woodruff, who haa lived
in the cliffs west of the Odd Fellows'
cemetery, near this city. Is dead. He
made his home In the cliffs for about
17 years and always seemed contented
and happy while there, coming to this .
city nearly every da.y for supplies and v
the daily papers. He did odd Jobs of
work and managed to live comfortably.
He was a very well read man and made
many friends, who have furnished him
with a great deal of reading matter
and provisions.
When asked some time ago why )i
preferred a home in the cliffs to one in
town, he said: "I like this beat be
cause it is so restful: the air ii to
pure and good In this place and the
view I have of the whole country look-
ing up and down, the Columbia river is
so broad and sweeping that I love the
place .better than any other I have ever
seen. " ,
"How came you to select this place
in which to make your homeT"- was
asked.
"ne day in August when : I first
con to The Dalles, I cam out here
for a walk. The air was fine and cool ;
and I sat here all day and enjoyed the
view. When evening came and the
lights of the city began to twinkle... I
decided to stay all night and slept so
well beneath the ledge, from' which I
since literally carved my home, that' I
decided to star all night; and I am here
yet That has-been' 17 years ago. I
love this place best of all In the world."
The old man grew talkative and told
of having been' a bridge builder during .
the war, and spoke of many Interesting
events in connection with the war . of
the sixties. He never referred to hi
family or his old home In the east He
talked of geology and sciences, but
never anything concerning his personal
history. . ; -
Mr. Woodruff was fortunate In being
sturdy in mind and limb, and was never
tick, he said, while living close to na- '

Examined for Vanity. -The
authorities, at the request 'of
several citizens of The Dalles, had him

It was considered by many that no sane
man would want to live in a cliff, and
alone. This mode of living suited John
Woodruff, however, and he was happy.
A few days before, his death he eanm v
