By Marshall N Dana. . What do you think of 2000 chickens farcing- $3004 a year, net, for a man In Tualatin valley? Hera is another man In Tualatin val ley who has sold 10,1100 rhubarb plants to a Portland seed flrni. and the pro ceeds of his crop are going to net him exact?? 80 per cent first year returns : on an Investment of $300 an acr A little farther down the valley Is a man named Eproat whose brotner at Hood River captured first prizes for apples last year, and who has matched apples with that brother to his own credit and to such an extent that five relatives have settled around him. Thee have ben excursions into cen tral, southern and eastern Oregon to tell of undeveloped resources. I have Just returned from a first visit to Wal Iowa county and what I found there in the .way of productive possibilities amazed me. But the amount of talk about what other sections can and should do set me to thinking; about what we have In the way of uideveloped pos sibltiUe in Portland's "door-yard." drove through the valley Friday with 1iK at Telker wbo has a good citisen's Interest In its development.' Tualatin valley, seen from Council Crest, stretches away, a fertile succes sion . of fields, green and brown. In terspersed with woodland. For some years tourists have been in the habit of exclaiming; over the picture like beauty of the expense. .They have told them selves how great and tiow varied the production of such a valley must be because' It should be. They neglected to notice how " infrequent were the homes. " Xt Sounds Uke Moaeerlnr. ' The man-with, the chickens, 'for in stance. He knows he is going to earn $3000 a year with them because he did It la California He baa just located on the Shaw-Fear tract' and he has invest ed Just $3000 In scientific ranches and coops with which to earn the money. The man with the pie-plant he la in the same boat Only last year the land was cleared. Doesn't that sound like pioneering? Only the man with the applea has . actually proved out . His orchard, is t years old. He has cultivated the trees with what should, be termed loving care. Just across the road is another orchard that he set out at the same time. He parted company with these latter trees. They are not bains; culti vated. His trees now are bearing; they are beautifully shaped, and they are three times as big as the trees across the - road, the same kind of .trees, planted by the same man, at the same time. The Incident affords a comparison between the naw blood coming into Tu alatln valley to make It a great market tributary to Portland, and the;1 older folk wbo met and were conquered by the soil. Briefly stated the new condi tion represents the man, the know-how and the -energy; and the old condition, a haphazard looting; or mining . of the carelessly cleared land. Always this great market garden area has adjoined its Portland market - The soil in virile fertility has been there and. there has been the unequal ed climate. , But en terprise system and science have been lacking. I saw beaverdanv land ' of boundless richness frdm whlph crops of potatoes and onions, thousands of pounds to the acre, had been taken,- and nothing replaced to maintain the soil's marvelous productivity, and yet there was wonder that it was losing fertil ity. - - Now it Is worth while to predict a new beginning and a new order.

A-33S3 tin valley Just over the hill from Port land, an unexpected, broad-acred vallsy where once a glacial lake was, , will produce the chickens and the vegetables and the staples and the butter and cheese and milk that Portland markets now send thousands of miles for. - The new, blood in. the valley of bottomless soil , Justifies the prediction. A well digger near St Mary's penetrated to a depth of 702 feet ' the other day and found stumps and moss. The soil at that depth was still alluvial, the silt de posit of the prehistoric lake. zTaber Zs Growing. At present there are long stretches, dotted but here and there with new homes, some of them are little, humble homes, like the pioneers built years ago. and In them live those who are, in a sense, as' truly pioneers. And there are some better homes; the homes of peo ple who are going out to live In the country and work in town; the homes of others who have made toe land produce the wherewithal to build the home, we came to the town of Hubex which has already the seeming of a place of com mercial activity, and there Mr. Caplea Is building a home the whole country is proud of, and Dr. Wetmore Is getting ready to build a drug store and another man to put up a general store. And out along the line of the Southern Pacific heavy rails are laid the whole distance out from town, getting ready to electrify the line. Archbishop Chris tie of the Catholic church, which owns quite a little land In the vicinity, an nounced the other day that he had de cided to add a young woman's industrial college to the young men's industrial school, the readiness for the construc tion of which was made known some time ago. Home for Poor Ken. The roads, like all Washington coun ty roads, have been indifferent, but the Shaw-Fear people are doing road grad ing and sidewalk building at a cost of several thousands of dollars. Certain it is that electrification of the railroad, added to the facilities given by the Hill Forest Orove electric, improved roads, and school building, will open up to thousands of people opportunity to live In the valley though they work In town. Even now the time to get to one's prospective home varies between 30 and 40 minutes. I have often wondered why the hundreds of young men In Portland, who receive small salaries and live in apartments, do not avail themselves of the now open opportunity to occupy a little, of unoccupied acreage so close to Portland. Will all respect to the men who sell lots in Portland, It Is certain that a town home Is always an expense, from the first investment In the prop erty. There follows the cost of paving, of sewers, of water mains and a thous and other things that an aggrieved city resident can count in 10 minutes. But a country location is different. Modern transportation makes the distance from work no greater In point of time than the suburban residence the small sal ftrled man can afford. Where dollars buy a lot In town they buy acres close to the city acres that by their crop production pay the first cost, pay for home building and furnish a home mean while, that 1b apart from city noise and dust and dirt iind congested life an ideal place for getting needed exer cise, and for rearing healthy children. I believe ho much in this argument that I am trying It myself. Old Methods Taboo. As the results of the work of the Oregon Agricultural college, in sending back to the farms young men trained In scientific, yet practical, soil cult ure, are witnessed the advantages of country life are better understood. Whether In the Tualatin valley or any other part of the state, trie old haphaz ard methods will be taboo, and system and method will obtain. Peas and beans will be raised on the land that last year produced wheat, and which this summer, In many instances personally seen, ;i lying fallow and unproductive. , When the Oregon farmer builds better highways, farms Intensively, and sup plies with seasonable production - the great Portland and northwest market, he will be representative of the most powerful and respected class In tht state. - ., , .'AMERICAN WOMAN QUEEN? BAH!" SAYS UNCONVENTIONAL COUNTESS ttlnltfd Press Lsaass Win.) New Tork, July 22. Just as you will find a girl now and then who will stoutly maintain that she Is glad she is not a boy, so you will encounter occasionally some one with a good stiff knock on the proposition that the American woman Is the most Independ ent and advanced - In the world. If you run across Countess von Bylandt, divorced 'wife of a well known editor of Copenhagen, you will find all this out. The countess Is now sojourning in New York. It is-true tha't the countess' Idea of American freedom results In large measure from her failure to be per mitted to smoke cigarettes wherever she wished in this city, but she con siders tha one violation of personal lib- erty is just as gross as any other and so she makes her case out of a cigar ette. ij ," ' .!',-": - - . "They say the American woman is a qneen In her own right," the countess declared with indignation that made her collar uncomfortably close.'

A queen who is allowed, to stand in a crowded sub way train while her male vassals sit and read their papers.

Bo when Ernest K.- Coulter, who has been chief clerk of the court since Its establishment, tells you that "money hunger, as it exists among a certain clans of persons, 4s certainly driving a large number of children to crime," you can't dismiss the Indictment off hand. Coulter has heard thousands of tales told of the 'children and of their par ents, he has learned 'to sift ths false from the true and to draw deductions that are warranted. He . formed the "Big Brothers' Club" to aid In making the life of the New Tork boy somewhat easier and happier.. According to Coulter It Is not the abjectly poor who drive their children Into , crime, for the money that It may bring In. This class will send Its chil dren out to- labor at scanty wages far too early In life, and will do other things that amount to virtual murder of the little ones In the long run, but they do not countenance crime. "It is In ths second class that you find money hunger.. In the middle class home you wtU often see children work Jng 'when It Is not really necessary.' But the parents hate felt the craving for, money and every cent that comes into the home Is hoarded up, In many cases the parent will . take , ths child's hard, earned money and spend , It for Ms .or bsr own diversion.'

"If such a law were made and en foroed, if every child who earns money and' lives at home were permitted ' to have, a , fair portion. of K, to feel that he has some compensation , for his work outside of a .roof to cover him and something to eat.' fewer children would be placed.

WHY IT IS DONE Our purpose in holding this contest is to acquaint the people of this section with the many far-famed makes of pianos we handle. The manufacturers of these pianos are convinced that this form of adver tising is far more effective than spending large amounts in maga zine and newspaper advertising, subsidizing concert pianists, etc., etc. We, too, believe the best ad vertisement for a good piano is a satisfied customer, and we believe, further, that the advertising allow ance should go to the person who buys a piano. We want everyone to knpw that ours are the only stores in the west that sell the famous Chickeriug. the oldest and most expensive of American pianos; the beautiful toned Sohmerr the now celebrated Lester of Phila delphia; the world-renowned Kim ball (given the Highest Grand Award, at the Chicago Exposition,; and again at the Seattle Exposi tion); the genuine Decker, and our own Eilers Orchestral Piano, as well as the famous - Autopiano, which every one can play without "bractice. t.The Steger Pianos, the Bush fie uerts and the Ji. f. Mel son Pianos also are sold only by us. . And we want every one ' to know that we sell these fine, de pendable makes bf instrument for less than they are obtainable elsewhere. lm -,.!' , . J .
